Article Abstract

Background: Chronic myeloid leukemia (CML) is a clonal myeloproliferative disorder with heterogeneous biological and clinical features. The biomolecular mechanisms of CML response to tyrosine-kinase inhibitors are not fully defined.

Objective: We undertook a gene expression profiling (GEP) study of selected bone marrow (BM) CD34+/lin- cells of chronic-phase CML patients at diagnosis and after 12 months of TKI nilotinib to investigate molecular signatures characterizing both conditions.

NAD Metabolism Regulates Proliferation of Macrophages in Atherosclerosis.

Arterioscler Thromb Vasc Biol

September 2025

Department of Medicine/Division of Cardiology, University of California Los Angeles. (S.S., C.R.S., L.F., M.P., C.P., Z.Z., J.J.M., R.C.D., D.S., A.J.L.).

Background: In genetic studies with the Hybrid Mouse Diversity Panel, we previously identified a chromosome 9 locus for atherosclerosis. We now identify NNMT (nicotinamide -methyltransferase), an enzyme that degrades nicotinamide, as the causal gene in the locus and show that the underlying mechanism involves salvage of nicotinamide to nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide (NAD).

Methods: Gain/loss of function studies in macrophages were performed to examine the role of NAD levels in macrophage proliferation and apoptosis in atherosclerosis.

Acute promyelocytic leukemia (APL) is a medical emergency that needs immediate diagnosis and treatment. Podoplanin, a transmembrane glycoprotein that binds CLEC-2 on platelets, was recently demonstrated to be abnormally expressed in leukemic blasts in APL, as opposed to other forms of AML, in a study using thawed primary cells. This study aimed to explore and validate the diagnostic accuracy of measuring podoplanin expression by flow cytometry in the differential diagnosis of APL and other forms of acute myeloid leukemia (AML) as part of the diagnostic work-up of all cases suspected of AML in an academic hematology center.

Acute Myeloid Leukemia (AML) is a heterogeneous hematological malignancy with an altered bone marrow microenvironment sheltering leukemic stem cells (LSCs). LSCs are characterized as self-renewing and highly proliferative cancer stem cells and accumulate abnormal genetic and epigenetic factors contributing to their uncontrolled proliferation. Chromosomal translocation t(9;11)(p22;q23) forms fusion oncoprotein, MLL-AF9, and regulates the transcription factor, C-Myb, which is highly expressed in AML.

Background: T follicular helper (TFH) cell lymphoma is complex, and we hope to provide a new perspective for its diagnosis.

Methods: We analysed the immunophenotypes of 89 mature T-cell lymphomas, including 52 nodal lymphomas of TFH origin, as well as 32 benign lymph node samples and 30 healthy bone marrow samples, by flow cytometry (FCM).

Results: Among pan-T cell markers, CD4CD5CD3 is the typical pattern that distinguishes TFH lymphoma from other T-cell lymphomas.

Patients with primary plasma cell leukemia (pPCL), particularly those with extramedullary disease (EMD), face a poor prognosis even with chimeric antigen receptor (CAR)-T cell therapy. This case report describes a patient with relapsed/refractory pPCL and life-threatening malignant pleural effusion (PE) treated with intrapleural CAR-T cells targeting B-cell maturation antigens. CAR-T cell expansion within the PE was observed, along with a rapid reduction in leukemia cell count and PE volume.
