STAT3-Activated GM-CSFRα Translocates to the Nucleus and Protects CLL Cells from Apoptosis

TL;DR: It was determined that overexpression of GM-CSFRα protected MM1 cells from dexamethasone-induced apoptosis, and GM- CSFRα knockdown induced apoptosis in CLL cells, suggesting that GM-csFRα provides a ligand-independent survival advantage.
Journal ArticleDOI

Ibrutinib inhibits free fatty acid metabolism in chronic lymphocytic leukemia.

TL;DR: It is shown that, in CLL cells, the B-cell receptor (BCR) inhibitor ibrutinib reduced LPL mRNA and protein levels and inhibited FFA metabolism in vitro and in patients from ibrUTinib-treated patients, F FA metabolism was reduced and eventually stopped.
Journal ArticleDOI

Better Molecular Response to Imatinib for Patients (pts) with Chronic Myeloid Leukemia (CML) in Chronic Phase (CP) Carrying the b3a2 Transcript Compared to b2a2.

TL;DR: Transcript levels were significantly lower at 3, 6 and 12 months from start of therapy for pts with b3a2 compared to those with b2a2, which resulted in a significantly higher probability of achieving a major molecular remission (MMR) and complete Molecular remission (CMR; ie, undetectable transcript levels), and there was a trend for an improved transformation-free survival.
