Background & Objective: Stromal cell derived factor-1 (SDF-1), excreted by bone marrow stromal cells, may be involved in shielding of marrow stromal cells from leukemia cells by binding to its receptor CXCR4, but the relation between SDF-1/CXCR4 axis and leukemia cells is unclear. This study was to inhibit activity of SDF-1 by anti-CXCR4 monoclonal antibody 12G5, observe changes of adhesion and proliferation of acute myelocytic leukemia cell line HL-60 co-cultivated with leukemic marrow stromal cells, and to assay potential of inhibiting SDF-1-driven processes on treating marrow residual disease.
Methods: HL-60 cells were co-cultured with leukemic marrow stromal cells, and 10 mug/ml 12G5 was added to block SDF-1 activity. Adhesive state, adhesion rate, apoptosis rate, and cell cycle of HL-60 cells were observed after incubation. Living conditions of HL-60 cells were detected by trypan blue exclusion, cell growth curve was protracted.
Results: Adhesion rate of 24-h 12G5-incubated HL-60 cells was (39.4+/-7.9)%, while that of control HL-60 cells was (51.4+/-5.9)% (P< 0.05). G0/G1, S, and G2/M phases of 24-h 12G5-incubated HL-60 cells were (55.2+/-4.9)%, (30.4+/-4.1)%, and (14.4+/-5.2)%, respectively, and apoptosis rate was (9.0+/-1.7)%; while those of control HL-60 cells were (44.7+/-2.2)%, (45.3+/-3.7)%, (10.0+/-2.6)%, and (4.0+/-2.4)%, respectively. T test showed that 12G5 induced more cells entering G0/G1 phase (P< 0.05), and increased cell apoptosis rate(P< 0.05). Compared with control HL-60 cells, survival rate and proliferation of 48-h 12G5-incubated HL-60 cells decreased markedly.
Conclusion: 12G5 may inhibit adhesion ability and proliferation of HL-60 cells, thus inhibiting SDF-1 activity by 12G5 may be helpful to the treatment of marrow residual disease.

Neutrophil elastase () mutations are the most common cause of cyclic (CyN) and congenital neutropenia (SCN), two autosomal dominant disorders causing recurrent infections due to impaired neutrophil production. Granulocyte colony-stimulating factor (G-CSF) corrects neutropenia but has adverse effects, including bone pain and in some cases, an increased risk of myelodysplasia (MDS) and acute myeloid leukemia (AML). Hematopoietic stem cell transplantation is an alternative but is limited by its complications and donor availability.

Objective: The prognosis for severe asthma is poor, and the current treatment options are limited. The methyl-CpG binding domain protein 2 (MBD2) participates in neutrophil-mediated severe asthma through epigenetic regulation. Neutrophil extracellular traps (NETs) play a critical role in the pathogenesis of severe asthma.

Target cyclooxygenase 2 (COX-2) and 5-lipoxygenase (5-LOX) inhibitors; 5-([2,5-Dihydroxybenzyl]amino)salicylamides (Compounds 1-11) were examined for potential anticancer activity, with a trial to assess the underlying possible mechanisms. Compounds were assessed at a single dose against 60 cancer cell lines panel and those with the highest activity were tested in the five-dose assay. COMPARE analysis was conducted to explore potential mechanisms underlying their biological activity.

The synthesis of ()-1-(1,3-diphenylallyl)-1-1,2,4-triazoles and related compounds as anti-mitotic agents with activity in breast cancer was investigated. These compounds were designed as hybrids of the microtubule-targeting chalcones, indanones, and the aromatase inhibitor letrozole. : A panel of 29 compounds was synthesized and examined by a preliminary screening in estrogen receptor (ER) and progesterone receptor (PR)-positive MCF-7 breast cancer cells together with cell cycle analysis and tubulin polymerization inhibition.

Background: Uncoupling protein 2 (UCP2) is essential for maintaining redox homeostasis and regulating energy metabolism. Abnormal expression of UCP2 has been associated with various tumors, including leukemia. Genipin (GEN), a specific inhibitor of UCP2, has a long history of use in traditional Chinese medicine.
