Recipient sex and donor leukemic cell characteristics determine leukemogenesis in patient-derived models.

In acute myeloid leukemia (AML), leukemogenesis depends on cell-intrinsic genetic aberrations and thus, studies on AML require investigations in an in vivo setting as provided by patient derived xenografts (PDX) models. Here we report that, next to leukemic cell characteristics, recipient sex highly influences the outgrowth of AML cells in PDX models, with females being much better repopulated than males in primary as well as secondary transplantation assays. Testosterone may be the more important player since, strikingly, better engraftment was seen in castrated versus control male recipients, while ovariectomy did not significantly impair engraftment in females.

The prognosis of pediatric acute myeloid leukemia (AML) remains poor compared with pediatric acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL); accurate diagnosis and treatment strategies based on the genomic background are strongly needed. Recent advances in sequencing technologies have identified novel pediatric AML subtypes, including BCL11B structural variants and UBTF tandem duplications (UBTF-TD), associated with poor prognosis. In contrast, these novel subtypes do not fit into the diagnostic systems for AML of the 5th edition WHO classification or International Consensus Classifications (ICC) released in 2022.

Ponatinib, a tyrosine kinase inhibitor used for chronic myeloid leukemia and acute lymphoblastic leukemia, can cause rare cutaneous side effects. In this case, a 63-year-old woman developed a pityriasis rubra pilaris-like eruption 1 month after starting the drug. The skin reaction improved with dose reduction and recurred more mildly at a lower dose.

Objective: To investigate the protective effect and mechanism of tumor necrosis factor receptor-associated factor 6 (TRAF6) inhibitor C25-140 on acute kidney injury (AKI) induced by acute diquat (DQ) poisoning in mice.

Methods: A total of 80 SPF grade healthy male C57BL/6 mice were randomly divided into the normal control group, DQ model group, C25-140 intervention group, and C25-140 control group, with 20 mice in each group. The DQ poisoning mouse model was established by using one-time intraperitoneal injection of 1 mL of 40 mg/kg DQ solution.
