Letter: A new consistent chromosomal abnormality in chronic myelogenous leukaemia identified by quinacrine fluorescence and Giemsa staining.
TLDR
An unsuspected abnormality in all cells from the nine patients with chronic myelogenous leukaemia has been detected with quinacrine fluorescence and various Giemsa staining techniques, suggesting that there may be a hitherto undetected translocation between the long arm of 22 and thelong arm of 9, producing the 9q+ chromosome.Abstract:
CELLS from nine consecutive patients with chronic myelogenous leukaemia (CML) have been analysed with quinacrine fluorescence and various Giemsa staining techniques. The Philadelphia (Ph1) chromosome in all nine patients represents a deletion of the long arm of chromosome 22 (22q−)1,2. An unsuspected abnormality in all cells from the nine patients has been detected with these new staining techniques. It consists of the addition of dully fluorescing material to the end of the long arm of one chromosome 9 (9q+). In Giemsa-stained preparations, this material appears as an additional faint terminal band in one chromosome 9. The amount of additional material is approximately equal to the amount missing from the Ph1 (22q−) chromosome, suggesting that there may be a hitherto undetected translocation between the long arm of 22 and the long arm of 9, producing the 9q+ chromosome.read more

New insights into the pathophysiology of chronic myeloid leukemia and imatinib resistance
TL;DR: Imatinib resistance among patients with chronic myeloid leukemia (CML) is now a clinically significant problem and may limit the long-term benefits of the drug, particularly in advanced disease.

TL;DR: The inhibitory effect of dasatinib on exosome production and vascular differentiation and signaling reveals a key role for Src in both the leukemia and its microenvironment.

The role of STATs in myeloid differentiation and leukemia
TL;DR: Constitutive activation of STAT3 and/or STAT5 resulting in enhanced transcription of anti-apoptotic- cell-cycle progression genes is likely to contribute to the pathogenesis of various myeloid leukemia's.

Aneuploidy, the somatic mutation that makes cancer a species of its own.
TL;DR: Biochemical and biological analyses of aneuploidy and gene mutation show that aneu ploidy is probably the only mutation that can explain all aspects of carcinogenesis, and the aneuPLoidy hypothesis offers new prospects of cancer prevention and therapy.

Oncogene addiction as a foundational rationale for targeted anti-cancer therapy: promises and perils
Davide Torti,Livio Trusolino +1 more
TL;DR: An overview of the relevant literature on the oncogene addiction model is offered, encompassing both biological aspects and recent clinical insights, and it is reconsidered as an illustrative principle to guide post‐genomic cancer research and drug development.

New Technique for Distinguishing between Human Chromosomes
TL;DR: It seems probable, therefore, that the darker staining with Giemsa of these regions, after denaturation and annealing, indicates the presence of highly repetitive DNA.

Philadelphia-Chromosome-Positive and -Negative Chronic Myelocytic Leukemia
TL;DR: Chromosomal studies were performed on 61 adult patients with "typical chronic myelocytic leukemia" and the Philadelphia (Ph1) chromosome was found in 43 patients, with equal sex distribution a year after diagnosis.
