Acute myeloid leukemia (AML) featuring retinoic acid receptor-gamma (RARG) rearrangements exhibits morphological features resembling those of acute promyelocytic leukemia but is associated with drug resistance and poor clinical outcomes. However, the mechanisms underlying the role of RARG fusions in leukemogenesis remain elusive. Here, we show that RARG fusions disrupt myeloid differentiation and promote proliferation and self-renewal of hematopoietic stem and progenitor cells (HSPCs) by upregulating BCL2 and ATF3.

Background: Glioblastoma is an aggressive and incurable type of brain cancer. Little progress has been made in the development of effective new therapies in the past decades. The blood-brain barrier (BBB) and drug efflux pumps, which together hamper drug delivery to these tumors, play a pivotal role in the gap between promising preclinical findings and failure in clinical trials.

5-Fluorouracil (5-FU) resistance poses a significant challenge in the treatment of rectal cancer, driving the need for novel therapeutic strategies. In this study, we established 5-FU-resistant rectal cancer cell lines (SW837-r, SNU-C1-r) and identified homoharringtonine (HHT) as a potent and selective anticancer agent through high-throughput drug screening of 291 compounds. HHT displayed the highest selective drug sensitivity score (sDSS), showing strong activity against resistant cells while sparing normal rectal epithelial cells.

Objectives: A combination of hypomethylation agents (HMA) and the HAG regimen (homoharringtonine, cytarabine, G-CSF) shows promise as a treatment for Acute Myeloid Leukemia (AML). Nevertheless, the clinical efficacy of this combined therapy in contrast to the HAG regimen alone remains uncertain.
Methods: We conducted a meta-analysis of eligible studies comparing the clinical efficacy of these two regimens.

Objective: This cohort study aimed to examine the impact of the FLT3-ITD mutation on the downstream signaling pathway of PI3K/AKT pathway, the percentage of leukemia stem cells, and the survival of patients receiving D3A7 induction therapy.
Method: Bone marrow mononuclear cells were collected from 20 adult AML patients who had completed D3A7 induction therapy at Cipto Mangunkusumo National General Hospital and Dharmais Cancer Hospital. FLT3-ITD gene mutation was examined by the PCR-sequencing method.
