A clone of vincristine resistant murine erythroleukemia cells V3.17[44], characterized by high sensitivity to terminal erythroid differentiation induced by hexamethylene bisacetamide, secretes into the extracellular medium a protein factor which partially reduces the latent period before commitment and accelerates the expression of the terminal differentiated phenotype in a slow responding murine erythroleukemia N23 cell variant. This differentiation enhancing factor increases the rate of protein kinase C down-regulation which occurs at slower rate during cell differentiation. The activity of the factor is detected either by coculture of the two cell line variants or by addition of conditioned medium from V3.17[44] cells to a culture of N23 cells in the presence of the inducer. In addition to being secreted by V3.17[44] cells, this factor can also be detected in the cytoplasm of both V3.17[44] and N23 cells, associated with a particulate fraction from which it can be released by sonication.

Erythroleukemia, a complex myeloproliferative disorder presenting as acute or chronic, is characterized by aberrant proliferation and differentiation of erythroid cells. Although nootkatone, a sesquiterpene derived from grapefruit peel and Alaska yellow cedar, has shown anticancer activity predominantly in solid tumors, its effects in erythroleukemia remain unexplored. This study aimed to investigate the impact of nootkatone and its derivatives on erythroleukemia.

Astragalus membranaceus (AM) herb is a component of traditional Chinese medicine used to treat various cancers. Herein, we demonstrate a strong anti-leukemic effect of AM injected (Ai) into the mouse model of erythroleukemia induced by Friend virus. Chemical analysis combined with mass spectrometry of AM/Ai identified the compounds Betulinic acid, Kaempferol, Hederagenin, and formononetin, all major mediators of leukemia inhibition in culture and in vivo.

Overexpression of the myeloid Src-family kinases Fgr and Hck has been linked to the development of acute myeloid leukemia (AML). Here we characterized the contribution of active forms of these kinases to AML cell cytokine dependence, inhibitor sensitivity, and AML cell engraftment in vivo. The human TF-1 erythroleukemia cell line was used as a model system as it does not express endogenous Hck or Fgr.

Acute erythroleukemia (AEL) is a rare subtype of acute myeloid leukemia with a poor prognosis. In this study, we established a novel murine AEL model with Trp53 depletion and ERG overexpression. ERG overexpression in Trp53-deficient mouse bone marrow cells, but not in wild-type bone marrow cells, leads to AEL development within two months after transplantation with 100% penetrance.

Acute myeloid leukemia (AML) cells resist differentiation stimuli despite high expression of innate immune receptors, such as Toll-like receptor 9 (TLR9). We previously demonstrated that targeting Signal Transducer and Activator of Transcription 3 (STAT3) using TLR9-targeted decoy oligodeoxynucleotide (CpG-STAT3d) increases immunogenicity of human and mouse AML cells. Here, we elucidated molecular mechanisms of inv(16) AML reprogramming driven by STAT3-inhibition/TLR9-activation .
