The most common chronic myeloproliferative disorder characterized by neutrophilic leukocytosis. It is associated with the Philadelphia (Ph) chromosome and/or the BCR/ABL fusion gene. Most patients are middle-aged or elderly. Common findings at presentation include fatigue, weight loss, anemia, night sweats, and splenomegaly. The disease is bi- or triphasic: an initial indolent chronic phase is followed by accelerated or blast phase. Allogeneic bone marrow transplantation is currently the only curative therapy (adapted from WHO 2001).

  • Comparative analysis of a CML cell line resistant to cyclophosphamide

    Homo sapiens Homo sapiens | RNA Expression   RNA Expression

    Acquired imatinib resistance in chronic myelogenous leukemia (CML) can be the consequence of mutations in the kinase domain of BCR-ABL or increased protein levels. However, as in other malignancies, acquired resistance to cytostatic drugs is a common reason for treatment failure or disease progressi…

  • K562 Gene Expression Control vs 1R-Chl treatments

    Homo sapiens Homo sapiens | RNA Expression   RNA Expression

    To determine whether the polyamide-Chl conjugate 1R-Chl would cause similar changes in global gene expression in K562 cells, affymetrix gene chip analysis was performed using 1R-Chl. Through class comparison analysis, 1R-Chl affected the levels of transcription and genes of interest were determined…
