Article Abstract

Isocitrate dehydrogenase kinase/phosphatase (AceK) regulates entry into the glyoxylate bypass by reversibly phosphorylating isocitrate dehydrogenase (ICDH). On the basis of the recently determined structure of the AceK-ICDH complex from Escherichia coli, we have classified the structures of homodimeric NADP(+)-ICDHs to rationalize and predict which organisms likely contain substrates for AceK. One example is Burkholderia pseudomallei (Bp). Here we report a crystal structure of Bp-ICDH that exhibits the necessary structural elements required for AceK recognition. Kinetic analyses provided further confirmation that Bp-ICDH is a substrate for AceK. We conclude that the highly stringent AceK binding sites on ICDH are maintained only in Gram-negative bacteria.

Background: The objective of this study is to investigate the predictive role of O6-methylguanine-DNA methyltransferase (MGMT) and isocitrate dehydrogenase (IDH) status on the efficacy of bevacizumab (BEV) in high-grade glioma (HGG), while excluding the interference of chemotherapy agents.

Methods: A retrospective, single-center analysis was conducted on 103 patients with HGG who received BEV treatment. The enrolled patients were grouped based on their different biomarker statuses.

Background: Nucleophosmin 1 (NPM1) mutations represent one of the most frequent genetic alterations in acute myeloid leukemia (AML). However, the prognostic significance of concurrent molecular abnormalities and clinical features in NPM1-mutated AML remains to be fully elucidated.

Methods: We retrospectively analyzed 73 adult AML patients with NPM1 mutations.

Myelodysplastic syndromes (MDS), particularly in older adults aged 60 years and above, present significant therapeutic challenges due to poor prognosis and limited treatment options. Higher-risk MDS (HR-MDS), defined by the Revised International Prognostic Scoring System score of ⩾3.5, is characterized by increased myeloblasts, severe cytopenia, and a median survival of <2 years.

Accelerated-phase (AP) or blast-phase (BP) myeloproliferative neoplasms (MPNs) are associated with dismal prognosis, with non-curative therapies such as hypomethylating agents (HMAs) considered in patients not eligible for intensive therapy, while some studies advocate for combination therapy with either ruxolitinib (RUXO) or venetoclax (VEN). To assess the relationship between treatment modalities and outcome, herein, we report a multicentric cohort of 149 patients (median age, 75 years) with AP/BP MPN not eligible for intensive therapy and/or allogeneic hematopoietic cell transplantation who received azacitidine (AZA) alone ( = 60) or in combination ( = 89; VEN [ = 51], RUXO [ = 27], or both [ = 9], isocitrate dehydrogenase inhibitors [ = 2]) between January 2019 and October 2023. With a median follow-up of 15 months, the median overall survival of the full cohort was 8.

Isocitrate dehydrogenase mutation and microenvironment in gliomas: do immunotherapy approaches matter?

Curr Opin Neurol

September 2025

Clinical Cooperation Unit (CCU) Neuroimmunology and Brain Tumor Immunology, German Cancer Research Center (DKFZ).

Purpose Of Review: Gliomas with mutations in the gene for isocitrate dehydrogenase (IDH) display a unique immune microenvironment that is distinct from IDH-wildtype gliomas. This unique immune microenvironment is shaped by 2-hydroxyglutarate (2-HG), an oncometabolite produced by mutant IDH. These features provide an opportunity to develop and test targeted immunotherapies for IDH-mutant gliomas.
