Article Abstract

: Programmed cell death-related genes (PCDRGs) have been reported to play an important role in diagnosis, treatment and immunity regarding cancer, but their prognostic value and therapeutic potential in acute myeloid leukemia (AML) patients still need to be fully explored. : Cox regression analysis and Least Absolute Shrinkage and Selection Operator (LASSO) analysis were used to identify PCDRGs significantly associated with the prognosis of AML patients. Furthermore, a prognostic risk model for AML patients was constructed based on the selected PCDRGs, and their immune microenvironment and biological pathways were analyzed. Cell experiments ultimately confirmed the potential role of PCDRGs in AML. : The results yielded four PCDRGs that were used to develop a prognostic risk model, and the prognostic significance of this model was confirmed using an independent external AML patient cohort. This prognostic risk model provides an independent prognostic risk factor for AML patients. This prognostic feature is related to immune cell infiltration in AML patients. The inhibition of solute carrier family 39 member 14 (SLC39A14) expression enhanced apoptosis and inhibited cell cycle progression in AML cells. : This study integrates bioinformatics analysis and cellular experiments to reveal potential gene therapy targets and prognostic gene markers in AML.

Germline DDX41 mutations (DDX41mut) are identified in approximately 5% of myeloid malignancies with excess of blasts, representing a distinct MDS/AML entity. The disease is associated with better outcomes compared to DDX41 wild-type (DDX41WT), but patients who do not undergo allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (HSCT) may experience late relapse. Due to the recent identification of DDX41mut, data on post-HSCT outcomes remain limited.

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.

Background: This study aimed to identify the diagnostic and prognostic ability of serum miR-411-3p in patients with acute myeloid leukemia (AML).

Methods: Blood samples were collected from 60 AML patients and 60 healthy controls to measure serum miR-411-3p and thereafter discuss its potential clinical value.

Results: Serum miR-411-3p was decreased in AML patients and was even lower in those with M4/M5 subtypes or high white blood cell count or adverse cytogenetic risk.

Background: Angioimmunoblastic T-cell lymphoma (AITL) is a rare and aggressive form of peripheral T-cell lymphoma, accounting for 1 - 2% of non-Hodgkin lymphomas. Diagnosis is challenging, and there is no established standard first-line treatment. This case report highlights a rare progression from AITL to therapy-related acute myeloid leukemia (AML-pCT) following cytotoxic chemotherapy.

Background: This study aims to gain further insights into the characteristics of the rare subtype of acute myeloid leukemia (AML) with BCR∷ABL by analyzing laboratory detection results of various gene mutations, such as NPM1.

Methods: Laboratory detection results of multiple gene missense mutations, including NPM1, were analyzed in a case of primary AML with BCR∷ABL.

Results: The patient exhibited morphological features of acute leukemia in the bone marrow.
