AI Article Synopsis

  • Acute myeloid leukemia (AML) has varied symptoms and a generally poor outlook, primarily treated with traditional chemotherapy.
  • Recent advancements in next-generation sequencing technology are leading to more precise targeted therapies focused on molecular biology and patient characteristics.
  • New small-molecule inhibitors and immune-targeted drugs offer promising alternatives for patients who can't handle standard chemotherapy, boasting better efficacy and fewer side effects.

Article Abstract

Acute myeloid leukemia (AML) has highly heterogeneous clinical manifestations and poor prognosis, and traditional chemotherapy is the main treatment. In recent years, with the in-depth development of next-generation sequencing technology, the treatment of AML is gradually exploring the precise targeted therapy in the direction of molecular biology and immunophenotype. The advent of various small-molecule inhibitors and immune-targeted drugs has brought hope to patients who cannot tolerate intensive chemotherapy or with relapsed/refractory AML. Compared with traditional chemotherapy, targeted therapy has the advantages of significant curative effect and fewer adverse effects. This article reviews the latest research progress of targeted drug therapy for AML.

Acute pancreatitis (AP) is an inflammatory disease of the pancreas and a complex process involving multiple factors, with mitochondrial damage playing a crucial role. Mitochondrial dysfunction is now considered a key driver in the development of AP. This dysfunction often presents as increased oxidative stress, altered membrane potential and permeability, and mitochondrial DNA damage and mutations.

Introduction: Challenges remain in reducing antigen escape and tumor recurrence while CAR-T cell therapy has substantially improved outcomes in the treatment of multiple myeloma. T cell receptor fusion construct (TRuC)-T cells, which utilize intact T cell receptor (TCR)-CD3 complex to eliminate tumor cells in a non-major histocompatibility complex (MHC)-restricted manner, represent a promising strategy. Moreover, interleukin-7 (IL-7) is known to enhance the proliferation and survival of T cells.

Generation of high avidity T cell receptors (TCRs) reactive to tumor-associated antigens (TAA) is impaired by tolerance mechanisms, which is an obstacle to effective T cell therapies for cancer treatment. NY-ESO-1, a human cancer-testis antigen, represents an attractive target for such therapies due to its broad expression in different cancer types and the restricted expression in normal tissues. Utilizing transgenic mice with a diverse human TCR repertoire, we isolated effective TCRs against NY-ESO-1 restricted to HLA-A*02:01.

Background: Chronic graft-versus-host disease (cGVHD) manifests with characteristics of autoimmune disease with organs attacked by pathogenic helper T cells. Recent studies have highlighted the role of T cells in cGVHD pathogenesis. Due to limited understanding of underlying mechanisms, preventing cGVHD after allogenic hematopoietic cell transplantation (HCT) has become a major challenge.
