DR STEENSMA: One area of interest involves investigation of agents targeting FLT3 mutations, which are driver mutations commonly associated with AML. The 2 general classes of FLT3 mutations are internal tandem duplication (ITD) mutations and tyrosine kinase domain (TKD) mutations. Both constitutively activate the FLT3 receptor, but ITD mutations tend to be associated with more proliferative disease and a poorer prognosis, and they’re more common than TKD mutations.

  • Dynamic Chemotherapy-Induced Upregulation of CXCR4 Expression: a Mechanism of Therapeutic Resistance in Pediatric AML
    Published OnlineFirst June 10, 2013; DOI: 10.1158/1541-7786.MCR-13-0114 Molecular Cancer Cell Death and Survival Research Dynamic Chemotherapy-Induced Upregulation of CXCR4 Expression: A Mechanism of Therapeutic Resistance in Pediatric AML Edward Allan R. Sison, Emily McIntyre, Daniel Magoon, and Patrick Brown Abstract Cure rates in pediatric acute leukemias remain suboptimal. Overexpression of the cell-surface chemokine receptor CXCR4 is associated with poor outcome in acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL) and acute myeloid leukemia (AML). Certain nonchemotherapeutic agents have been shown to modulate CXCR4 expression and alter leukemia interactions with stromal cells in the bone marrow microenvironment. Because chemotherapy is the mainstay of AML treatment, it was hypothesized that standard cytotoxic chemotherapeutic agents induce dynamic changes in leukemia surface CXCR4 expression, and that chemotherapy-induced upregulation of CXCR4 repre- sents a mechanism of acquired therapeutic resistance. Here, it was shown that cell lines variably upregulate CXCR4 with chemotherapy treatment. Those that showed upregulation were differentially protected from chemotherapy- induced apoptosis when cocultured with stroma. The functional effects of chemotherapy-induced CXCR4 up- regulation in an AML cell line (MOLM-14, which harbors consistent upregulated CXCR4) and clinical specimens were explored. Importantly, enhanced stromal-cell derived factor-1a (SDF1A/CXCL12)-mediated chemotaxis and stromal protection from additional chemotherapy-induced apoptosis was found. Furthermore, treatment with plerixafor, a CXCR4 inhibitor, preferentially decreased stromal protection with higher chemotherapy-induced upregulation of surface CXCR4. Thus, increased chemokine receptor CXCR4 expression after treatment with conventional chemotherapy may represent a mechanism of therapeutic resistance in pediatric AML. Implications: CXCR4 may be a biomarker for the stratification and optimal treatment of patients using CXCR4 inhibitors.

Thus, the need to target these differences led to the development of novel molecules (targeted therapy) active against the neoplastic cells’ inner workings. There are several types of targeted agents, including Small Molecules Inhibitors (SMIs), monoclonal antibodies (mAbs), interfering RNA (iRNA) molecules and microRNA. In the clinical practice, these new medicines generate a multilayered step in pharmacokinetics (PK), which encompasses a broad individual PK variability, and unpredictable outcomes according to the pharmacogenetics (PG) profile of the patient (e.g., cytochrome P450 enzyme), and to patient characteristics such as adherence to treatment and environmental factors. This review focuses on the use of targeted agents in-human phase I/II/III clinical trials in cancer-hematology.

  • Promising Therapeutic Targets for Treatment of Rheumatoid Arthritis
    REVIEW published: 09 July 2021 doi: 10.3389/fimmu.2021.686155 Promising Therapeutic Targets for Treatment of Rheumatoid Arthritis † † Jie Huang 1 , Xuekun Fu 1 , Xinxin Chen 1, Zheng Li 1, Yuhong Huang 1 and Chao Liang 1,2* 1 Department of Biology, Southern University of Science and Technology, Shenzhen, China, 2 Institute of Integrated Bioinfomedicine and Translational Science (IBTS), School of Chinese Medicine, Hong Kong Baptist University, Hong Kong, China Rheumatoid arthritis (RA) is a systemic poly-articular chronic autoimmune joint disease that mainly damages the hands and feet, which affects 0.5% to 1.0% of the population worldwide. With the sustained development of disease-modifying antirheumatic drugs (DMARDs), significant success has been achieved for preventing and relieving disease activity in RA patients. Unfortunately, some patients still show limited response to DMARDs, which puts forward new requirements for special targets and novel therapies. Understanding the pathogenetic roles of the various molecules in RA could facilitate discovery of potential therapeutic targets and approaches. In this review, both Edited by: existing and emerging targets, including the proteins, small molecular metabolites, and Trine N. Jorgensen, epigenetic regulators related to RA, are discussed, with a focus on the mechanisms that Case Western Reserve University, result in inflammation and the development of new drugs for blocking the various United States modulators in RA.

  • Extrinsic Targeting Strategies Against Acute Myeloid Leukemic Stem Cells Noureldien H
    Integrative Cancer Science and Therapeutics Review Article ISSN: 2056-4546 Extrinsic targeting strategies against acute myeloid leukemic stem cells Noureldien H. E. Darwish1,2 and Shaker A. Mousa2* 1Department of Clinical Pathology, Hematology Unit, Mansoura University, Egypt 2The Pharmaceutical Research Institute, Albany College of Pharmacy and Health Sciences (ACPHS), USA Abstract Despite advances in the treatment of acute myeloid leukemia (AML), patients still show high relapse and resistance against conventional chemotherapy. This resistance is related to a small clone referred to as Leukemia Stem Cells (LSCs). New targeted strategies are directed against the LSCs’ extrinsic regulators including their microenvironment such as a CXCR4 antagonist that is used to interfere with LSCs’ homing. Targeting LSCs’ surface molecules such as CD33 for selective elimination of LSCs has variable degrees of success that may require further assessments. Trials with CARs cells were effective in eradication of acute lymphoblastic leukemia, and they may have an effective role also in AML. Other strategies are directed against the intrinsic regulators such as self-renewal mechanisms and epigenetic reprogramming of LSCs. This review highlights targeting of the extrinsic regulators of the LSCs and identifies biological differences between them and normal hematopoietic stem cells. Introduction LSCs theory and properties Acute myeloid leukemia (AML) is a hematological disorder LSCs are able to divide to progeny clonogenic blast cells, leading to characterized by a malignant clone thought to be derived from a small the concept that AML is arranged in a hierarchy, with the LSCs present number of cells known as leukemic stem cells (LSCs). LSCs have a at the apex and the more “differentiated” blasts representing the main great ability for limitless self-renewal and also generation of leukemic tumor bulk [7].

  • New Strategies in Myeloproliferative Neoplasms: the Evolving Genetic and Therapeutic Landscape Ami B
    CCR New Strategies Clinical Cancer Research New Strategies in Myeloproliferative Neoplasms: The Evolving Genetic and Therapeutic Landscape Ami B. Patel1, Nadeem A. Vellore2, and Michael W. Deininger3 Abstract The classical BCR–ABL1-negative myeloproliferative neo- off-target toxicities and, as monotherapy, has shown limited plasms (MPN) include essential thrombocythemia (ET), poly- effects on mutant allele burden. In this review, we discuss the cythemia vera (PV), and myelofibrosis (MF). Although these genetic heterogeneity contributing to the pathogenesis of clonal disorders share certain clinical and genetic features, MF MPNs, focusing on novel driver and epigenetic mutations and in particular is distinct for its complex mutational landscape, how they relate to combination therapeutic strategies.

The genetic discuss results from ongoing studies of new JAK inhibitors and complexity inherent to MF has made this disease extremely report on new drugs and drug combinations that have dem- challenging to treat. Pharmacologic JAK inhibition has proven onstrated success in early preclinical and clinical trials, includ- to be a transformative therapy in MPNs, alleviating symptom ing type II JAK inhibitors, antifibrotic agents, and telomerase burden and improving survival, but has been hampered by inhibitors.
