Starting with imatinib, tyrosine kinase inhibitors (TKIs) have turned chronic myeloid leukemia (CML) from a lethal blood cancer into a chronic condition. As patients with access to advanced CML care have an almost normal life expectancy, there is a perception that CML is a problem of the past, and one should direct research resources elsewhere. However, a closer look at the current CML landscape reveals a more nuanced picture.

Background: The primary purpose of this study was to demonstrate the preventive effects of imatinib (IMA) on lipopolysaccharide (LPS)-induced inflammation in a mouse model of acute lung injury (ALI) and human umbilical vascular endothelial cells.
Methods: LPS stimulation for 24 h induced ALI and cell inflammation. The pathological results of the lungs were evaluated using the wet/dry weight ratio, pulmonary vascular permeability measurements, and myeloperoxidase immunohistochemistry.

We previously showed that the anticancer drug imatinib mesylate (IMT, trade name: Gleevec) and a chemically distinct compound, DV2-103 (a kinase-inactive derivative of the potent Abl and Src kinase inhibitor, PD173955) lower Aβ levels at low micromolar concentrations primarily through a lysosome-dependent mechanism that renders APP less susceptible to proteolysis by BACE1 without directly inhibiting BACE1 enzymatic activity, or broadly inhibiting the processing of other BACE1 substrates. Additionally, IMT indirectly inhibits γ-secretase and stimulates autophagy, and thus may decrease Aβ levels through multiple pathways. In two recent studies we demonstrated similar effects on APP metabolism caused by derivatives of IMT and DV2-103.

Purpose: Although most of chronic myeloid leukemia (CML) patients can be effectively treated by the tyrosine kinase inhibitors (TKIs), such as Imatinib, TKI-resistance still occurs in approximately 15-17% of cases. Although many studies indicate that branched chain amino acid (BCAA) metabolism may contribute to the TKI resistance in CML, the detailed mechanisms remains largely unknown.
Method: The cell proliferation, colony formation and in vivo transplantation were used to determined the functions of BCAT1 in leukemogenesis.
