TLDR
This study indicates that the AIDA protocol is a well-tolerated regimen that induces molecular remission in almost all patients with PML/RARα-positive APL and suggests that a remarkable cure rate can be obtained with this treatment.

Complete remission after treatment of acute promyelocytic leukemia with arsenic trioxide

TL;DR: Low doses of arsenic trioxide can induce complete remissions in patients with APL who have relapsed and the clinical response is associated with incomplete cytodifferentiation and the induction of apoptosis with caspase activation in leukemic cells.

A Minicircuitry Comprised of MicroRNA-223 and Transcription Factors NFI-A and C/EBPα Regulates Human Granulopoiesis

TL;DR: The data indicate that miR-223 plays a crucial role during granulopoiesis and point to the NFI-A repression as an important molecular pathway mediating gene reprogramming in this cell lineage.

Management of acute promyelocytic leukemia: recommendations from an expert panel on behalf of the European LeukemiaNet

TL;DR: This review contains specific recommendations for the identification and management of most important complications such as the bleeding disorder, APL differentiation syndrome, QT prolongation and other ATRA- and ATO-related toxicities, as well as for molecular assessment of response to treatment.

Single-step method of RNA isolation by acid guanidinium thiocyanate-phenol-chloroform extraction

TL;DR: A new method of total RNA isolation by a single extraction with an acid guanidinium thiocyanate-phenol-chloroform mixture is described, providing a pure preparation of undegraded RNA in high yield and can be completed within 4 h.

Proposed Revised Criteria for the Classification of Acute Myeloid Leukemia: A Report of the French-American-British Cooperative Group

TL;DR: The first proposals for the morphologic classification of the acute leukemias by the French-American-British (FAB) group were put forward in the hope that they might serve as a basis for future studies.
Journal ArticleDOI

Use of all-trans retinoic acid in the treatment of acute promyelocytic leukemia

TL;DR: All-trans retinoic acid is an effective inducer for attaining complete remission in APL and no abnormalities in the coagulation parameters were measured, suggesting an absence of any subclinical disseminated intravascular coagulations.
Journal ArticleDOI

Differentiation therapy of acute promyelocytic leukemia with tretinoin (all-trans-retinoic acid).

TL;DR: Tretinoin is a safe and highly effective agent for inducing complete remission in patients with acute promyelocytic leukemia and clinical response to this agent is associated with leukemic-cell differentiation and is linked to the expression of an aberrant RAR-alpha nuclear receptor.
Journal ArticleDOI

All-trans retinoic acid as a differentiation therapy for acute promyelocytic leukemia. I. Clinical results.

TL;DR: The study confirms the major efficacy of all-trans RA in M3, even in relapsing patients, and shows that complete remissions were obtained without bone marrow (BM) hypoplasia and by a differentiation process.
