Star wars against leukemia: attacking the clones.

Leukemia

November 2024

Fels Cancer Institute for Personalized Medicine, Lewis Katz School of Medicine, Temple University, Philadelphia, PA, 19140, USA.

Leukemia, although most likely starts as a monoclonal genetic/epigenetic anomaly, is a polyclonal disease at manifestation. This polyclonal nature results from ongoing evolutionary changes in the genome/epigenome of leukemia cells to promote their survival and proliferation advantages. We discuss here how genetic and/or epigenetic aberrations alter intracellular microenvironment in individual leukemia clones and how extracellular microenvironment selects the best fitted clones.

Long-Read Sequencing and Genome Assembly Pipeline of Two Clones (3D7, W2) Using Only the PromethION Sequencer from Oxford Nanopore Technologies without Whole-Genome Amplification.

Biology (Basel)

January 2024

Unité Parasitologie et Entomologie, Département Microbiologie et Maladies Infectieuses, Institut de Recherche Biomédicale des Armées, 13005 Marseille, France.

Antimalarial drug resistance has become a real public health problem despite WHO measures. New sequencing technologies make it possible to investigate genomic variations associated with resistant phenotypes at the genome-wide scale. Based on the use of hemisynthetic nanopores, the PromethION technology from Oxford Nanopore Technologies can produce long-read sequences, in contrast to previous short-read technologies used as the gold standard to sequence Plasmodium.

Background/purpose: Cancer stem cells (CSCs) are widely recognized as key drivers of cancer initiation, progression, and therapeutic resistance. Microfluidic chip technology offers a promising approach for CSC isolation and study. This study investigated the efficacy of a microfluidic chip-based method for isolating single cells from oral cancer cell lines characterized by high stem-like phenotypes.

PTPN12 down-regulated by miR-146b-3p gene affects the malignant progression of laryngeal squamous cell carcinoma.

Open Med (Wars)

June 2023

Otolaryngology Head and Neck Surgery Department, The Second Hospital of Hebei Medical University, 215 Heping West Road, Shijiazhuang 050005, Hebei, China.

Laryngeal squamous cell carcinoma (LSCC) is a common malignancy among men in the anatomical position of head and neck. Hoarseness, pharyngalgia, and dyspnea are common symptoms. LSCC is a complex polygenic carcinoma that is caused by many factors involving polygenic alteration, environmental pollution, tobacco, and human papillomavirus.
