Patel, PhD University of Pittsburgh, 2019 Abstract Acute myelogenous leukemia (AML) is a disease characterized by undifferentiated bone-marrow progenitor cells dominating the bone marrow. Currently the five-year survival rate for AML patients is 27.4 percent. Meanwhile the standard of care for most AML patients has not changed for nearly 50 years. We now know that AML is a genetically heterogeneous disease and therefore it is unlikely that all AML patients will respond to therapy the same way. Upregulation of protein-tyrosine kinase signaling pathways is one common feature of some AML tumors, offering opportunities for targeted therapy.

  • As a Potential Therapeutic Approach for AML Wittawat Chantkran 1,2,Ya-Chinghsieh1, Daniella Zheleva3,Sheelaghframe3, Helen Wheadon1 and Mhairi Copland 1
    Chantkran et al. Cell Death Discovery (2021) 7:137 https://doi.org/10.1038/s41420-021-00496-y Cell Death Discovery ARTICLE Open Access Interrogation of novel CDK2/9 inhibitor fadraciclib (CYC065) as a potential therapeutic approach for AML Wittawat Chantkran 1,2,Ya-ChingHsieh1, Daniella Zheleva3,SheelaghFrame3, Helen Wheadon1 and Mhairi Copland 1 Abstract Over the last 50 years, there has been a steady improvement in the treatment outcome of acute myeloid leukemia (AML). However, median survival in the elderly is still poor due to intolerance to intensive chemotherapy and higher numbers of patients with adverse cytogenetics. Fadraciclib (CYC065), a novel cyclin-dependent kinase (CDK) 2/9 inhibitor, has preclinical efficacy in AML. In AML cell lines, myeloid cell leukemia 1 (MCL-1) was downregulated following treatment with fadraciclib, resulting in a rapid induction of apoptosis. In addition, RNA polymerase II (RNAPII)-driven transcription was suppressed, rendering a global gene suppression. Rapid induction of apoptosis was observed in primary AML cells after treatment with fadraciclib for 6–8 h. Twenty-four hours continuous treatment further increased efficacy of fadraciclib. Although preliminary results showed that AML cell lines harboring KMT2A rearrangement (KMT2A-r) are more sensitive to fadraciclib, we found that the drug can induce apoptosis and decrease MCL-1 expression in primary AML cells, regardless of KMT2A status. Importantly, the diversity of genetic mutations observed in primary AML patient samples was associated with variable response to fadraciclib, confirming the need for fi 1234567890():,; 1234567890():,; 1234567890():,; 1234567890():,; patient strati cation to enable a more effective and personalized treatment approach. Synergistic activity was demonstrated when fadraciclib was combined with the BCL-2 inhibitor venetoclax, or the conventional chemotherapy agents, cytarabine, or azacitidine, with the combination of fadraciclib and azacitidine having the most favorable therapeutic window.

  • S6K1 Mediates Oncogenic Glycolysis in Pten Deficient Leukemia
    S6K1 mediates oncogenic glycolysis in Pten deficient leukemia A dissertation submitted to the Graduate School of the University of Cincinnati in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy (Ph.D.) in the Department of Cancer and Cell Biology of the College of Medicine by Preeti Tandon M.S. Bowling Green State University, 2004 ABSTRACT Hyperactive Akt signaling triggers glycolysis and apoptosis resistance in human cancer. Because sustained glycolysis is required for Akt dependent apoptosis resistance, we investigated the downstream signaling components that mediate Akt dependent increases in glycolysis in cells deficient for Pten, a negative regulator of the PI3K/Akt pathway. Genetic inactivation of the ribosomal protein S6 Kinase 1 (S6K1) in Pten-deficient cells prevented glycolysis, triggered Bax translocation and committed cells to apoptosis. Pharmacological S6K1 inhibition using a small molecule kinase inhibitor recapitulated the effects of genetically inactivating S6K1. Inactivation of S6K1 was associated with decreased expression of the pro-glycolytic HIF1α transcription factor. Restoring HIF1α expression was sufficient to restore both glycolysis and cell survival in S6K1-deficient cells. Conversely, inhibiting HIF1α expression in Pten deficient cells resulted in decreased glycolysis and cell survival, mimicking the loss of S6K1. In vivo, S6K1 deficiency delayed the development of lethal disease in a Pten deficient mouse model of leukemia. Thus, together the data suggest that S6K1 is a useful target for counteracting the metabolic program that supports apoptosis resistance in Pten-deficient cancers. iii iv ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS I would first and foremost like to thank Dr David Plas for being my mentor. Your guidance and advice have been instrumental in my progress and development as a scientist.

  • Targeting the Phosphatidylinositol 3-Kinase Signaling Pathway in Acute
    Integrative Cancer Science and Therapeutics Review Article ISSN: 2056-4546 Targeting the phosphatidylinositol 3-kinase signaling pathway in acute myeloid leukemia Ota Fuchs* Institute of Hematology and Blood Transfusion, Prague, Czech Republic Abstract The phosphatidylinositol-3-kinase-Akt (protein kinase B) - mechanistic target of rapamycin (PI3K-Akt-mTOR) pathway is often dysregulated in cancer, including hematological malignancies. Primary acute myeloid leukemia (AML) cell populations may include various subclones at the time of diagnosis. A relapse can occur due to regrowth of the originally dominating clone, a subclone detectable at the time of first diagnosis, or a new clone derived either from the original clone or from remaining preleukemic stem cells. Inhibition of mTOR signaling has in general modest growth-inhibitory effects in preclinical AML models and clinical trials. Therefore, combination of allosteric mTOR inhibitors with standard chemotherapy or targeted agents has a greater anti-leukemia efficacy. Dual mTORC1/2 inhibitors, and dual PI3K/mTOR inhibitors show greater activity in pre-clinical AML models. Understanding the role of mTOR signaling in leukemia stem cells is important because AML stem cells may become chemoresistant by displaying aberrant signaling molecules, modifying epigenetic mechanisms, and altering the components of the bone marrow microenvironment. The PI3K/Akt/mTOR signaling pathway is promising target in the treatment of hematological malignancies, including AML, especially by using of combinations of mTOR inhibitors with conventional cytotoxic agents. Introduction syndromes, chronic myelogenous leukemia (CML), multiple myeloma and lymphoid leukemias and lymphomas [42-54]. Below, I discuss the The mammalian target of rapamycin (mTOR) is a serine/threonine PI3K/Akt/mTOR pathway and its role in AML.

Mahmoud, Email: [email protected] Abstract: Background: Retinitis Pigmentosa (RP) refers to a group of inherited disorders characterized by the death of photoreceptor cells leading to blindness. The aim of this study is to identify the pathogenic SNPs in the IDH3A gene and their effect on the structure and function of the protein. Method: we used different bioinformatics tools to predict the effect of each SNP on the structure and function of the protein. Result: 20 deleterious SNPs out of 178 were found to have a damaging effect on the protein structure and function. Conclusion: this is the first in silico analysis of IDH3A gene and 20 novel mutations were found using different bioinformatics tools, and they could be used as diagnostic markers for Retinitis Pigmentosa.

This article is published with open access Abstract Isocitrate dehydrogenase 1 and 2 (IDH1/2) are key enzymes in cellular metabolism, epigenetic regulation, redox states, and DNA repair. IDH1/2 mutations are causal in the development and/or progression of various types of cancer due to supraphysiological production of D-2-hydroxyglutarate. In various tumor types, IDH1/2-mutated cancers predict for improved responses to treatment with irradiation or chemotherapy. The present review discusses the molecular basis of the sensitivity of IDH1/2-mutated cancers with respect to the function of mutated IDH1/2 in cellular processes and their interactions with novel IDH1/2-mutant inhibitors. Finally, lessons learned from IDH1/2 mutations for future clinical applications in IDH1/2 wild-type cancers are discussed. 1234567890();,: Introduction production of D-2HG is essentially a gain of function that is exclusive to mutant IDH1/2 enzymes, it was quickly rea- Isocitrate dehydrogenase 1 and 2 (IDH1/2) are key enzymes lized that these frequently-occurring genetic alterations that function at a crossroads of cellular metabolism, epi- were promising targets for personalized anti-cancer therapy genetic regulation, redox states, and DNA repair.
