We examined the effects of diet nutrients on xenotransplanted leukemia cells, THP-1 or NB4. THP-1 tumors showed more growth when fed with high fat diet, while NB4 tumors grew more with high carbohydrate diet. Then, administration of 2-deoxyglucose (a glycolysis inhibitor) showed a significant antitumor effect on both tumors: NB4 tumor showed large necrotic areas, while THP-1 tumor did not, but had augmented expression of enzymes for fatty acid oxidation. 2-Deoxyglucose inhibited the growth of NB4 by cell death because main energy producing pathway (glycolysis) was abolished, while 2-deoxyglucose slowed the growth of THP-1 by shifting energy metabolism to fatty acid β-oxidation.

Cancer stem cells (CSCs) represent a subpopulation of cancer cells that are believed to initiate and drive cancer progression. In animal models, xenotransplanted CSCs have demonstrated the ability to produce tumors. Since their initial isolation in blood cancers, CSCs have been identified in various solid human cancers, including oral squamous cell carcinoma (OSCC).

Background: Intrinsic and extrinsic factors in the tumour microenvironment (TME) contribute to therapeutic resistance. Here we demonstrate that transforming growth factor (TGF)-β1 produced in the TME increased drug resistance of neuroblastoma (NB) cells.
Methods: Human NB cell lines were tested in vitro for their sensitivity to Doxorubicin (DOX) and Etoposide (ETOP) in the presence of tumour-associated macrophages (TAM) and mesenchymal stromal cells/cancer-associated fibroblasts (MSC/CAF).

Acute myeloid leukemia (AML) driven by the activation of due to chromosome 3q26/ rearrangements is incurable. Because transcription factors such as EVI1 are notoriously hard to target, insight into the mechanism by which EVI1 drives myeloid transformation could provide alternative avenues for therapy. Applying protein folding predictions combined with proteomics technologies, we demonstrate that interaction of EVI1 with CTBP1 and CTBP2 via a single PLDLS motif is indispensable for leukemic transformation.

Background: Leukemia patients undergoing cryopreserved ovarian tissue transplantation (OTT) may carry a high risk of disease induction. Measurable residual disease (MRD) in bone marrow is linked to an elevated risk of relapse. It is controversial whether leukemia patients must be allowed to achieve measurable residual disease negative (MRD-negative) status instead of measurable residual disease positive (MRD-positive) status before ovarian tissue cryopreservation (OTC).

Epigenetics is brought to RNA, introducing a new dimension to gene expression regulation. Among numerous RNA modifications, -methyladenosine (mA) is an abundant internal modification on eukaryote mRNA first identified in the 1970s. However, the significance of mA modification in mRNA had been long neglected until the fat mass and obesity-associated (FTO) enzyme was identified as the first mA demethylase almost 40 years later.
