AI Article Synopsis

  • Long noncoding RNAs (lncRNAs) may serve as important prognostic biomarkers for acute myeloid leukaemia (AML), influencing patient outcomes significantly.
  • A systematic review analyzed 27 studies involving 5,665 patients, revealing that abnormal lncRNA expression correlates with worse overall survival and lower remission rates in AML patients.
  • Specific lncRNAs like HOTAIR and MALAT1 are linked to poor prognosis, while decreased expression of IRAIN is also associated with worse outcomes.

Article Abstract

Background: Long noncoding RNAs (lncRNAs) may function as prognostic biomarkers in acute myeloid leukaemia (AML). However, it is still unknown exactly how significant lncRNAs are for the prognosis of AML. With a focus on their prognostic and therapeutic potential, the study aimed to provide a comprehensive review of the literature regarding the role of lncRNAs in AML.

Method: Pub Med, The Cochrane Library, Embase, Science Direct, Web of science, Scopus, and Google scholar were searched until November, 2023. Original publications of any type exploring the prognostic and therapeutic potential of lncRNAs in AML patients were included. Heterogeneity and publication bias were examined using the I test and a funnel plot, respectively. To quantify the relationship between various lncRNA expression in AML patient survival, odds ratios (ORs) or hazards ratios (HRs) with 95 % confidence intervals (CIs) were pooled. Quality of studies was assessed using the Critical Appraisal Checklists for Studies created by the Joanna Briggs Institute (JBI).

Results: Twenty-seven studies including 5665 subjects were selected for the final analysis. In patients with AML, abnormal lncRNA expression has been associated with significant worse overall survival (pooled HR = 2.05, 95 % CI = 1.79-2.30, P <0.001), shorter disease-free survival (pooled HR = 2.17, 95 % CI = 1.13-3.22, P< 0.001), and lower complete remission rate (pooled HR = 0.27, 95 % CI = 0.11-0.43, P< 0.001). Poor prognoses have been attributed to increased expression of HOX transcript antisense intergenic RNA (HOTAIR), Promoter Of CDKN1A Antisense DNA Damage Activated RNA (PANDAR), Metastasis Associated Lung Adenocarcinoma Transcript 1 (MALAT1), RP11-222K16.2, Taurine Upregulated Gene 1 (TUG1), Small Nucleolar RNA Host Gene 5 (SNHG5), Growth Arrest Specific 5 (GAS5), and H19 and decreased expression of IGF1R Antisense Imprinted Non-Protein Coding RNA (IRAIN).

Conclusion: The prognoses of AML patients are significantly associated with abnormally expressed lncRNAs, which may be used as prognostic indicators for predicting the patient outcomes.

The clinical features and outcomes of elderly patients with acute myeloid leukemia: a real word research.

Clin Exp Med

January 2025

Medical Center of Hematology, Xinqiao Hospital of Army Medical University; Chongqing Key Laboratory of Hematology and Microenvironment; State Key Laboratory of Trauma and Chemical Poisoning, Army Medical University, Chongqing, No.83 Xinqiao Main Street, Shapingba District, 400037, China.

The aim of this study was to investigate the clinical features and outcomes of elderly patients with acute myeloid leukemia (AML) from a real word research. The clinical data of 223 consecutive elderly patients (aged ≥ 60 years) who were newly diagnosed with AML at our medical center between July 2017 and June 2022, including their clinical characteristics, genetic mutations, and survival outcomes, were retrospectively analyzed. Among the 223 patients (median age 67 years), 180 (80.

Acute myeloid leukemia is a cancer involving uncontrolled proliferation of hematopoietic cells. Cutaneous involvement is referred to as leukemia cutis (LC). The histopathologic presentation of LC is variable, and may present with perivascular, periadnexal, dermal, or subcutaneous infiltrate.

The management of patients with myelodysplastic syndrome (MDS) refractory to hypomethylating agents (HMAs) remains a challenge with few reliably effective treatments. Preclinical studies have shown that the inhibition of the nuclear export protein XPO1 causes nuclear accumulation of p53 and disruption of NF-κB signaling; both of which are relevant targets for MDS. Selinexor is an XPO1 inhibitor with demonstrated efficacy in MDS patients.

Acute myeloid leukemia (AML) is rarely associated with central diabetes insipidus (CDI) with unclear underlying pathophysiological mechanisms. The most commonly reported cytogenetic abnormality in cases of AML-associated CDI is monosomy 7, followed by chromosome 3 abnormalities. We report a case of a woman with newly diagnosed AML with 9q34 deletion ( gene region), who developed symptoms of polyuria and polydipsia with an investigation confirming CDI.
