Genomic tools in acute myeloid leukemia: From the bench to the bedside.

Published: April 2014

Since its use in the initial characterization of an acute myeloid leukemia (AML) genome, next-generation sequencing (NGS) has continued to molecularly refine the disease. Here, the authors review the spectrum of NGS applications that have subsequently delineated the prognostic significance and biologic consequences of these mutations. Furthermore, the role of this technology in providing a high-resolution glimpse of AML clonal heterogeneity, which may inform future choice of targeted therapy, is discussed. Although obstacles remain in applying these techniques clinically, they have already had an impact on patient care.

DOGMA-seq and multimodal, single-cell analysis in acute myeloid leukemia.

Int Rev Cell Mol Biol

Acute myeloid leukemia (AML) is a complex cancer, yet advances in recent years from integrated genomics methods have helped improve diagnosis, treatment, and means of patient stratification. A recent example of a powerful, multimodal method is DOGMA-seq, which can measure chromatin accessibility, gene expression, and cell-surface protein levels from the same individual cell simultaneously. Previous bimodal single-cell techniques, such as CITE-seq (Cellular indexing of transcriptomes and epitopes), have only permitted the transcriptome and cell-surface protein expression measurement.

Acute myeloid leukemia (AML) is a highly heterogeneous and aggressive blood cancer. Genetic abnormalities, such as the t(8;21) rearrangement, play a significant role in AML onset. This rearrangement leads to the formation of the RUNX1/RUNX1T1 fusion protein, disrupting gene regulation and genomic stability, ultimately causing full-blown leukemia.

This report describes a rare case of anuric acute kidney injury related to suspected urate nephropathy in a 23-year-old male with chronic phase of Chronic Myeloid Leukemia (CML). The patient presented with anuria and limb edema, with a history of imatinib-treated CML. Investigations revealed probable urate crystals causing bilateral hydronephrosis and hydroureters.

Acute myeloid leukemia (AML) is the most common acute leukemia and is predominantly affecting older patients. It is a heterogenous disease, showing a broad spectrum of genomic alterations and mutations that influence the clinical outcome and treatment options. The expression of the signal transducer and activator of transcription 3 (STAT3) is often dysregulated in AML and its constitutive activation is associated with poor outcome.

Background: Acute myeloid leukemia (AML) is still a threaten to human health due to its high occurrence and poor prognosis. Mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) in bone marrow microenvironment (BMM) play a critical role in the development of AML. This study elucidated the interaction between MSCs and AML cells and its underlying mechanism.
