TL;DR: Both near-haploid and low-hypodiploid leukemic cells show activation of Ras-signaling and phosphoinositide 3-kinase (PI3K)-signaling pathways and are sensitive to PI3K inhibitors, indicating that these drugs should be explored as a new therapeutic strategy for this aggressive form of leukemia.
Journal ArticleDOI
Single Cell Profiling Identifies Aberrant STAT5 Activation in Myeloid Malignancies with Specific Clinical and Biologic Correlates
Nikesh Kotecha,Nikki J. Flores,Jonathan M. Irish,Erin F. Simonds,Debbie S Sakai,Sophie Archambeault,Ernesto Diaz-Flores,Marc Coram,Kevin Shannon,Garry P. Nolan,Mignon L. Loh +10 more
TL;DR: Using flow cytometry, a specific evoked STAT5 signaling signature was observed in a subset of samples from patients suspected of having juvenile myelomonocytic leukemia, suggesting a critical role of this pathway in the biological mechanism of this disorder and indicating potential targets for future therapies.
Journal ArticleDOI
Ex vivo drug response profiling detects recurrent sensitivity patterns in drug-resistant acute lymphoblastic leukemia.

TL;DR: Drug profiling captures disease-relevant features and unexpected sensitivity to relevant drugs, which warrants further exploration of this functional assay in the context of clinical trials to develop drug repurposing strategies for patients with urgent medical needs.
Journal ArticleDOI
p53 loss promotes acute myeloid leukemia by enabling aberrant self-renewal
Zhen Zhao,Johannes Zuber,Ernesto Diaz-Flores,Laura Lintault,Scott C. Kogan,Kevin Shannon,Scott W. Lowe +6 more
TL;DR: It is shown that p53 inactivation strongly cooperates with oncogenic Kras(G12D) to induce aggressive AML, while both lesions on their own induce T-cell malignancies with long latency, establishing an efficient new strategy for interrogating oncogene cooperation and providing strong evidence that the ability of p53 to limit aberrant self-renewal contributes to its tumor suppressor activity.
Journal ArticleDOI
Response and resistance to MEK inhibition in leukaemias initiated by hyperactive Ras
Jennifer O. Lauchle,Doris Kim,Doan T. Le,Keiko Akagi,Michael Crone,Kimberly Krisman,Kegan Warner,Jeannette M. Bonifas,Qing Li,Kristen M Coakley,Ernesto Diaz-Flores,Matthew F. Gorman,Sally Przybranowski,Mary Tran,Scott C. Kogan,Jeroen P. Roose,Neal G. Copeland,Nancy A. Jenkins,Luis F. Parada,Linda Wolff,Judith Sebolt-Leopold,Kevin Shannon +21 more
TL;DR: It is shown that MEK inhibitors are ineffective in MPD, but induce objective regression of many Nf1-deficient AMLs, which represents a robust strategy for identifying genes and pathways that modulate how primary cancer cells respond to targeted therapeutics and for probing mechanisms of de novo and acquired resistance.
