  1. 11. Prognostic markers in pediatric leukemia and mechanisms of KRAS induced leukemogenesis

    Författare :Anna Staffas; Göteborgs universitet; []
    Nyckelord :MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; Prognostic markers; AML; T-ALL; leukemia; FLT3; NPM1; ERG; BAALC; KRAS;

    Sammanfattning : Leukemia results from uncontrolled growth of genetically altered blood cells. Depending on the cell type of origin, the leukemia is defined as T-cell, B-cell, or myeloid and as acute or chronic depending on its characteristics. However, patients with a certain subtype of leukemia (e.g. LÄS MER

  3. 12. Pharmacology and resistance mechanisms of nucleoside analogues and topoisomerase II interactive agents : studies on human leukemia cells with a focus on cross-resistance

    Författare :Kourosh Lotfi; Rolf Larsson; Linköpings universitet; []
    Nyckelord :Nucleoside analogue; cross-resistance; multidrug resistance; deoxycytidine kinase; leukemia; anthracyclines; P-glycoprotein; MEDICINE; MEDICIN;

    Sammanfattning : The purpose of this thesis was to elucidate mechanisms of action and resistance of clinically relevant nucleoside analogues and topoisomerase interactive agents in human leukemia cell lines and leukernia cells isolated from peripheral blood of leukemia patients. Interactions and cross-resistance patterns of these different cytotoxic drug families were also studied since these drugs are usually administrated in combination in the clinic. LÄS MER

  4. 13. The role of the leukemia-associated ETO homologue repressors in hematopoiesis

    Författare :André Olsson; Avdelningen för hematologi och transfusionsmedicin; []
    Nyckelord :MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; MTGR1; ETO; MTG16; AML1-ETO; hematopoiesis; leukemia; diffferentiation; extracellular fluids; Haematology; Medicin människa och djur ; extracellulära vätskor; Hematologi; Medicine human and vertebrates ;

    Sammanfattning : The fusion protein AML1-ETO is observed in acute myeloid patients with the chromosomal translocation t(8;21). Cells with this chimeric protein have impaired granulocytic and erythroid differentiation with accumulation of myeloblasts. The transcriptional co-repressor ETO (Eight Twenty One) was identified from the cloning of AML1-ETO. LÄS MER

  5. 14. Functional studies of Wilms’ tumor gene 1 (WT1) in hematopoiesis and leukemia

    Författare :Helena Svedberg; Avdelningen för hematologi och transfusionsmedicin; []
    Nyckelord :MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; extracellular fluids; Haematology; K562; U937; CD34 ; leukemia; WT1; hematopoiesis; Hematologi; extracellulära vätskor;

    Sammanfattning : Wilms’ tumor gene 1 (WT1) is a zinc-finger transcription factor that is involved in the development of urogenital organs and mesothelial tissues. It was initially identified as a tumor suppressor gene, based on the observation that somatic inactivation of the gene predispose for development of the pediatric kidney cancer Wilms’ tumor. LÄS MER

  7. 15. Role of FLT3 in Acute Myeloid Leukemia: Molecular mechanisms and Therapeutic opportunities

    Författare :Sausan Moharram; Avdelningen för translationell cancerforskning; []
    Nyckelord :MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; LEUKEMIA; AML; Mutations; FLT3; Signlaing;

    Sammanfattning : Acute myeloid leukemia (AML) is a highly heterogeneous blood disease which is characterized by different mutations and chromosomal rearrangements. Nearly 60% of genetic alterations have been found in AML patients involve in signaling pathways including signaling of tyrosine kinase receptor FLT3. LÄS MER
