[Title] Durable molecular remissions with a single cycle of timed sequential consolidation chemotherapy in acute promyelocytic leukemia.

In a pilot study to reduce the duration of treatment and potential long-term toxicities, 39 patients with acute promyelocytic leukemia in remission received a single cycle of intensive consolidation therapy, followed by intermittent ATRA maintenance.

Seven patients have relapsed; all other patients are in molecular remission (median follow-up, 2.75 years).

[Title] Acute promyelocytic leukemia: from highly fatal to highly curable.

Acute promyelocytic leukemia (APL) is a distinct subtype of acute myeloid leukemia.

Morphologically, it is identified as the M3 subtype of acute myeloid leukemia by the French-American-British classification and cytogenetically is characterized by a balanced reciprocal translocation between chromosomes 15 and 17, which results in the fusion between promyelocytic leukemia (PML) gene and retinoic acid receptor alpha (RARalpha).

It seems that the disease is the most malignant form of acute leukemia with a severe bleeding tendency and a fatal course of only weeks.

Chemotherapy (CT; daunorubicin, idarubicin and cytosine arabinoside) was the front-line treatment of APL with a complete remission (CR) rate of 75% to 80% in newly diagnosed patients.

Despite all these progresses, the median duration of remission ranged from 11 to 25 months and only 35% to 45% of the patients could be cured by CT.

[Title] Arsenic trioxide and low-dose cytarabine in older patients with untreated acute myeloid leukemia, excluding acute promyelocytic leukemia.

BACKGROUND: Acute myeloid leukemia (AML) carries a dismal prognosis in older patients.

Of 64 patients who had pathologically confirmed AML, excluding patients with acute promyelocytic leukemia and using World Health Organization criteria, the median age was 71 years, 10 patients (16%) had treatment-related AML, 40 patients (63%) had an antecedent myelodysplastic syndrome or myeloproliferative disorder, and 35 patients (55%) had unfavorable cytogenetics.

RESULTS: Complete remission was achieved in 21 of 61 patients (34%), including 15 of 50 patients (30%) who had secondary or treatment-related AML, 10 of 33 patients (30%) who had unfavorable cytogenetics, and 6 of 34 patients (18%) who had a poor baseline performance status.

[Title] [Hematopoietic stem cell transplantation in the second or later complete remission in acute promyelocytic leukemia initially treated with all-trans retinoic acid].

Despite the use of all-trans retinoic acid (ATRA) as the first-line treatment for acute promyelocytic leukemia (APL), relapse occurs in about 20% of cases.

Most relapsing APL patients can achieve second remission (CR2) following ATRA combined with chemotherapy or arsenic trioxide.

Complete molecular remission has been maintained in the remaining 2 patients.

Complete molecular remission has been maintained in all 4 patients (mean follow-up, 3 years 9 months).

[Title] Regulation of CYP26A1 expression by selective RAR and RXR agonists in human NB4 promyelocytic leukemia cells.

All-trans retinoic acid (ATRA) can induce complete remission in acute promyelocytic leukemia (APL), but resistance to this treatment develops rapidly partly due to increased ATRA metabolism.

Among the cytochrome P450s (CYPs) involved in ATRA metabolism, the ATRA-inducible cytochrome P450 26A1 (CYP26A1) is particularly active although the molecular mechanisms involved in its regulation are not well defined in the target leukemia cells.

To study CYP26A1 expression and regulation in APL cells, we used the NB4 promyelocytic leukemia cell line.

To further define CYP26A1 induction mechanisms in the NB4 leukemia cells, we used RARs and RXR selective agonists.

In conclusion, we have shown that CYP26A1 induction is not essential for the granulocytic maturation of NB4 leukemia cells, and that CYP26A1 induction requires the activation of both RARalpha and RXR in these cells.

[Title] [The effects of different post-remission treatment on long-term survival of acute promyelocytic leukemia].

OBJECTIVE: To Summarize and compare the effects of the different post-remission treatment on long-term survival in acute promyelocytic leukemia (APL) patients.

METHODS: The long-term survival and relapse of 111 APL patients with different post-remission treatment were retrospectively analyzed.

CONCLUSION: The APL patients receiving combined post-remission therapy had better OS and RFS those receiving chemotherapy alone.

Sequential therapy combining ATRA, As(2)O(3) and chemotherapy is the best post-remission therapy for long-term survival of APL patients.

[Title] Open issues on bleeding and thrombosis in acute promyelocytic leukemia.

Acute promyelocytic leukemia (APL) is a distinct subtype of acute myeloid leukemia characterized by a specific genetic alteration, affecting the retinoic acid receptor-alpha (RAR-alpha), and leading to the accumulation of the promyelocytic blasts in the bone marrow and blood which is frequently associated with a life-threatening consumptive coagulopathy.

The body of biological information on APL establishes this leukemia as a unique entity that has to be promptly recognized to counteract the coagulopathy, especially in light of its striking response to treatment with all-trans retinoic acid.

In fact, the current standard for induction therapy results in extremely high antileukemic efficacy, achieving 90 to 95% complete remission rate.

However, while primary leukemia resistance has virtually disappeared as a cause of remission induction failure, death due to hemorrhage remains the major problem during the early treatment phase.

[Title] Late relapses in acute promyelocytic leukaemia.

From January 1988 to December 1997, among 53 acute promyelocytic leukaemia patients in 1st complete remission (CR) after 5 years from diagnosis, we observed 5 late relapses (9.4%) after 60, 61, 71, 101 and 155 months from diagnosis; 3 of those late relapses (7.7%) occurred among 39 patients previously treated with all-trans-retinoic acid.

In conclusion, a late relapse occurred in a sizeable fraction of acute promyelocytic leukaemia patients: the high rate of ear involvement might be explained considering the ear as a 'disease sanctuary'.

[Title] Presentation of acute promyelocytic leukemia as granulocytic sarcoma.

This extramedullary tumor can present before, concurrent with or after the diagnosis of acute myeloid leukemia.

GS is extremely uncommon in acute promyelocytic leukemia (APL).

As a proportion of patients never develop systemic disease, correct and timely diagnosis may be rather difficult, but is a prerequisite for optimal outcome.

GS should be considered in the differential diagnosis of children with unusual bone lesions.

[Title] [Molecular remission induced by gemtuzumab ozogamicin in an elderly patient with relapsed acute promyelocytic leukemia].

A 79-year-old female with acute promyelocytic leukemia (APL) presented with second hematological relapse.

She had been treated previously with modified AIDA protocol as the front-line therapy and had achieved complete remission.

During ATRA maintenance therapy, the first hematological relapse occurred and she was treated with arsenic trioxide (ATO), achieving the second complete remission.

The patient was then treated with two courses of gemtuzumab ozogamicin (GO) and achieved the third complete remission.

At present, she is maintaining molecular remission more than one year after GO treatment.

GO is considered to be a promising agent for elderly patients with relapsed acute promyelocytic leukemia resistant to arsenic trioxide.

[Title] Sustained remission achieved with ATRA and chemotherapy in second relapse of acute promyelocytic leukemia in Down syndrome.

Children with Down syndrome (DS) are at an increased risk of developing acute leukemia.

Acute myeloid leukemia predominates among DS children below 4 years of age but acute promyelocytic leukemia (APL) has rarely been reported in DS.

Acute myeloid leukemia in DS is extremely sensitive to treatment but the optimum treatment of de novo or relapsed APL in DS is not known.

We describe a child with DS and APL, who despite having a multiply relapsing course, achieved a third remission with ATRA and chemotherapy, which is sustained with maintenance therapy.

[Title] Hematological and molecular remission with combination chemotherapy in a patient with PLZF-RARalpha acute promyelocytic leukemia (APML).

Patients with acute promyelocytic leukemia (APML) with the t(11;17) translocation usually respond poorly to all-trans retinoic acid (ATRA) and chemotherapy.

We describe a patient with promyelocytic leukemia zinc finger/retinoic acid receptor alpha (PLZF/RARalpha) APML who was treated with combination chemotherapy after poor response to arsenic trioxide.

He achieved hematological remission in 4 weeks followed by achievement of molecular remission in 8 weeks.

At a follow-up of 32 months after achieving hematological remission, he continues to remain in hematological and molecular remission with normal blood parameters and negative reverse transcriptase polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR) results.

Combination chemotherapy can achieve sustained remission in patients with PLZF/RARalpha APML.

[Title] [Acute promyelocytic leukemia with CD59 deficiency].

The study was aimed to investigate whether CD59 is deficient in acute promyelocytic leukemia (APL) blast cells.

The results showed that the deficiency of CD59 expression in 12 out of 19 APL samples was found, its incidence was significantly higher than that in other acute myeloid leukemia (AML) samples (deficiency of CD59 expression in 14 of 40 non-APL AML samples, p=0.042).

The expression of CD59 became normal after the patients achieved complete remission (CR), which indicated that the deficient of CD59 expression was only found in APL blast cells, but also found in APL cell line NB4 cells.

[Title] Autologous stem cell transplantation for patients with acute promyelocytic leukemia in second molecular remission.

Relapse still occurs in approximately 20-30% of patients with acute promyelocytic leukemia (APL) and, after achievement of second complete remission (CR), the optimal strategy is still controversial.

We describe therapeutic results from a series of 13 patients autografted in second molecular remission (MR) by a molecular negative apheresis product.

In all patients, the disease was confirmed at the molecular level and all had received the GIMEMA/AIDA protocol, achieving molecular remission at the end of consolidation.

In all cases, molecular evaluation of the apheresis product was negative for the promyelocytic leukemia/retinoic acid receptor alpha gene.

[Title] Severe hemorrhagic complications during remission induction therapy for acute promyelocytic leukemia: incidence, risk factors, and influence on outcome.

BACKGROUND: Even after the introduction of all-trans retinoic acid (ATRA), early hemorrhagic death remains a major cause of remission induction failure for acute promyelocytic leukemia (APL).

METHODS: To investigate severe hemorrhagic complications during remission induction therapy with respect to incidence, risk factors, and influence on outcome.

Results were analyzed for 279 patients enrolled in the APL97 study conducted by the Japan Adult Leukemia Study Group (JALSG).

Nine of them succumbed to an early death, while the remaining nine patients eventually achieved complete remission (CR).

[Title] Is cytarabine required in the treatment of acute promyelocytic leukemia?

Until the late 1980s, chemotherapy with anthracyclines and cytarabine (AraC) was the only treatment approach for acute promyelocytic leukemia (APL), as for other types of acute myeloid leukemia.

Several groups have reported high rates of complete remission and low rates of relapse with ATRA and chemotherapy using anthracyclines alone, suggesting that AraC could be avoided in the chemotherapy of APL, reducing toxicity.

The authors report a 9-year-old boy presenting with a left cerebral ischemic infarction as the first manifestation of acute promyelocytic leukemia.

Remission in bone marrow was achieved with chemotherapy, however, new intracranial ischemic areas developed on follow-up.

Acute promyelocytic leukemia complicated by FSGS has not been previously reported in children.

Thrombosis could be related with both leukemia and nephrotic syndrome, here thrombosis was the initial symptom, before FSGS was diagnosed.

[Title] [Therapy of acute promyelocytic leukemia in Czechia: results and analysis of prognostic factors].

We have retrospectively evaluated a cohort of 144 patients (including 17 pediatric ones) with de novo acute promyelocytic leukemia registered in databases of institutions cooperating within the CELL group (The Czech Leukemia Study Group for Life).

Of 140 evaluable patients, 97 (69.3%) attained complete remission (CR).

The projected overall survival (OS) 4 years after diagnosis was 58.9%, and 55.3% at 6 years.

Another parameter with a significant impact on attaining CR was the leukocyte (WBC) count at diagnosis: its median values in patients achieving and not achieving CR were 2.1 and 24.0 x 10(9)/l, respectively (P < 0.0001).

The platelet counts at diagnosis had no impact on entering CR.

[Title] [Molecular responses in acute promyelocytic leukemia patients monitored by real-time quantitative RT-PCR].

BACKGROUND & OBJECTIVE: Previous clinical and experimental results have indicated a close relationship between residual leukemia cell clones and clinical outcome in acute promyelocytic leukemia (APL) patients.

Real-time fluorescent quantitative reverse transcription-polymerase chain reaction (RQ-RT-PCR) is a sensitive and accurate method in detecting leukemia cell clones and monitoring minimal residual disease (MRD).

METHODS: All-trans retinoic acid (ATRA) and compound Huangdai tablets were used for remission induction in 100 newly diagnosed APL patients.

The NQ of fusion gene transcripts in 33 patients during follow-up decreased from 0.62 at diagnosis to 0.25 at clinical and hematologic remission (CHR) after induction, to 0.000 3 after consolidation chemotherapy and to 0 during maintenance.

[Title] Acute promyelocytic leukemia: what are the treatment options?

IMPORTANCE OF THE FIELD: Acute promyelocytic leukemia (APL) represents a paradigm of therapeutic success in clinical hematology.

Since the introduction of all-trans-retinoic-acid in the early 1980s, complete remission rates exceed 90% and the cure rate is > 70%.

AREAS COVERED IN THIS REVIEW: The aim of this article is to focus on still controversial issues in the management of APL, such as the role of arsenic trioxide as front-line therapy, the management of older unfit patients, the potential utility of gemtuzumab-ozogamycin and the effectiveness (if any) of maintenance therapy for patients in molecular remission.

In addition, the possibility of reducing the intensity of post-remission therapy, which is associated with substantial morbidity in potentially cured patients, is discussed.

[Title] Acute promyelocytic leukemia with PML-RARA fusion on i(17q) and therapy-related acute myeloid leukemia.

We describe a patient with acute promyelocytic leukemia (APL) and the karyotype 46,XX,i(17)(q10) with PML-RARA fusion gene detected by fluorescence in situ hybridization (FISH) and nested reverse transcriptase-polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR).

FISH using dual-color translocation probes for PML (promyelocytic leukemia) and RARA (retinoic acid receptor-alpha) showed fusion signal for PML-RARA on both arms of i(17q).

The patient attained complete remission (CR) with all-trans retinoic acid treatment and became PML-RARA negative.

Bone marrow examination suggested an acute monoblastic leukemia (AML-M5a) including the karyotype 46,XX,t(8;16) (p11.2;p13.3),inv(11)(p15q22 approximately q23)[11]/47,idem,+i(8)(q10)[9].

The occurrence of therapy related acute leukemia after successful therapy for APL is an emerging problem.

[Title] Anti-leukemic and anti-angiogenesis efficacy of arsenic trioxide in new cases of acute promyelocytic leukemia.

Arsenic trioxide is now considered the standard agent in treatment of refractory cases of acute promyelocytic leukemia (APL).

Arsenic trioxide was given in a dosage of 0.15 mg kg(-1) and remission rate, survival rate, toxicities and effect on vascular density of bone marrow was studied.

Treatment efficacy results showed 100% complete remission rate after median of 30 days and 72% survival rate after median 860 days of follow-up.

The results imply that arsenic trioxide is an effective anti-leukemia and anti-angiogenesis agent in new cases of APL.

[Title] Acute promyelocytic leukemia after mitoxantrone therapy for multiple sclerosis.

We present here two patients treated with mitoxantrone for MS who subsequently developed acute promyelocytic leukemia (APL).

Topoisomerase 2 inhibitors are associated with therapy-related acute myeloid leukemia (t-AML) with 11q23 abnormalities, but therapy-related APL (t-APL) is less common, and documentation of nine cases of t-APL after mitoxantrone therapy for MS suggests a specific association.

[Title] Treatment of acute promyelocytic leukemia.

Cure of acute promyelocytic leukemia (APL) is now a possibility for most patients through the use of state-of-the-art treatments, which include simultaneous administration of all-trans retinoic acid (ATRA) and anthracycline-based chemotherapy for induction and consolidation, as well as ATRA-based maintenance.

However, HSCT plays an important role for patients in second complete remission.

[Title] [Long-term survival analysis in 170 cases of acute promyelocytic leukemia].

This study was aimed to investigate various factors influencing long-term survival in patients with acute promyelocytic leukemia.

Newly diagnosed patients with APL entering complete remission (CR) were followed up for 6 to 185 months (n = 170) from January 1990 to December 2004.

Univariate and multivariate analysis of 8 potential factors influencing survival and prognosis were carried out with Log-Rank and Cox regression method, including sex, age, initial WBC count, the level of lactic hydrogenase (LDH), first induction regimen, time from induction therapy to CR, post-remission therapy, negative or positive rate of PML-RAR alpha and follow-up of reverse transcription-polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR).

Univariate analysis revealed that initial WBC count, first induction regimen, time from induction therapy to CR, type of post-remission therapy and persistent negative RT-PCR in remission were important prognostic factors for long-term survival.

Multivariate study demonstrated that only type of post-remission therapy was associated with RFS and OS.

It is concluded that the post-remission treatment combining ATRA, As(2)O(3) and chemotherapy would significantly improve the long-term survival of APL patients entering CR(1).

[Title] High-dose cytarabine and mitoxantrone in consolidation therapy for acute promyelocytic leukemia.

The objective of our study was to evaluate high-dose cytarabine in consolidation therapy in patients with newly diagnosed acute promyelocytic leukemia (APL).

In total, 72 patients (88%) achieved a complete remission, and 10 patients (12%) died from early/hypoplastic death (ED/HD).

White blood cell count above 10.0 x 10(9)/l at diagnosis and additional chromosomal aberrations were unfavorable prognostic markers for OS, whereas no prognostic markers for RFS were identified including FLT3 mutations.

[Title] [Retinoic acid in treating acute promyelocytic leukemia with hyperleukocytosis and its therapeutic strategy].

In order to investigate the occurrence of hyperleukocytosis in treating acute promyelocytic leukemia (APL) patients with all trans retinoic acid (ATRA) and to explore the influence of the level of leucocyte on curative effect of ATRA, the APL patients were divided into three different groups according to the count of leucocyte in peripheral blood.

Total remission rates in the second group and in the third group were 91.3%.

The remission rates in the first, second and third groups were 100%, 87.5% and 90.9%, respectively.

[Title] Detecting PML-RARalpha transcript in acute promyelocytic leukemia using real-time quantitative RT-PCR.

BACKGROUND: Real-time quantitative RT-PCR (RQ-PCR) assay has become a vital tool to monitor residual disease of leukemia.

We aimed to assess the methodology of RQ-PCR and its clinical applications in monitoring molecular kinetics of 36 newly diagnosed cases of acute promyelocytic leukemia patients with t (15;.

No false positive results occurred in 40 non-acute promyelocytic leukemia samples.

Although the time to attain hematological complete remission was similar in both groups, the time to achieve molecular remission of group 1 was significantly shorter than that of group 2 (61 days vs 75 days, P = 0.034).

The rate of molecular remission within 70 days was higher in group 1 than in group 2 (75.00% vs 38.46%, P = 0.036).

Arsenics, all-trans retinoic acid and mitoxantrone triad induction treatment of acute promyelocytic leukemia is superior to two-drug combination induction therapy in terms of the molecular response.

[Title] Therapy-induced PML/RARA proteolysis and acute promyelocytic leukemia cure.

Acute promyelocytic leukemia (APL) is characterized by a specific t(15;17) chromosomal translocation that yields the PML/RARA fusion gene.

Both agents directly target PML/RARA-mediated transcriptional repression and protein stability, inducing to various extent promyelocyte differentiation and clinical remission of APL patients.

The RA-As association, which synergizes for PML/RARA degradation but not for differentiation, rapidly clears leukemia initiating cells (LIC), resulting in APL eradication in murine APL models, but also in several APL clinical trials.

[Title] [Clinical and laboratory features of patients with CD34(+) acute promyelocytic leukemia].

OBJECTIVE: To explore the expression of CD34 in patients with acute promyelocytic leukemia (APL) and investigate the clinical and laboratory features of CD34(+) APL patients.

The clinical features including age, gender, abnormal values of the peripheral hemogram before treatment, the complete remission (CR) rate and the incidence of DIC and laboratory data such as the results of morphology, immunology, cytogenetics and molecular biology (MICM) between those two groups were compared.

There were no statistically significant differences between the two groups compared in respect of complete remission (CR) rate and the incidence of DIC (P > 0.05).

CONCLUSION: CD34(+) acute promyelocytic leukemia is a unique subtype of APL with different biological characteristics.

[Title] Treatment of acute promyelocytic leukemia with gemtuzumab ozogamicin.

Acute promyelocytic leukemia (APL) is a form of acute myeloid leukemia characterized by peculiar biologic features and a unique sensitivity to differentiation therapy with all-trans retinoic acid (ATRA).

However, it is conceivable that the use of this agent in APL will increase in the near future in light of its capability to induce molecular remission even in advanced disease.

[Title] Eradication of acute promyelocytic leukemia-initiating cells by PML/RARA-targeting.

Acute promyelocytic leukemia (APL) is characterized by a t(15;17) translocation that yields a PML/RARA fusion protein.

Both retinoic acid (RA) and arsenic trioxide directly target PML/RARA-mediated transcriptional repression and protein stability, inducing rapid differentiation of the promyelocytes and clinical remission in most APL patients.

RA also triggers growth arrest and progressive clearance of leukemia initiating cells (LIC), both ex vivo and in vivo.

Suboptimal RA concentrations or expression of the PLZF/RARA variant allows complete RA-induced differentiation, but neither LIC clearance nor disease remission.

[Title] The design of selective and non-selective combination therapy for acute promyelocytic leukemia.

Acute promyelocytic leukemia (APL) is an unique subtype of acute myeloid leukemia typically carrying a specific reciprocal chromosome translocation, t(15;17), leading to the expression of a leukemia-generating fusion protein, PML-RARalpha.

Nearly all de novo APL patients undergo clinical remission when treated with ATRA plus chemotherapy or with the combinational selective therapy, ATRA plus As2O3.

[Title] [FLT3 internal tandem duplication in patients with acute promyelocytic leukemia].

OBJECTIVE: To analyze the mutation of FLT3 internal tandem duplication (FLT3-ITD) in bone marrow cells from patients with newly-diagnosed acute promyelocytic leukemia (APL).

Out of FLT3-ITD positive patients, 18/20 (90%) obtained complete remission and 16 evaluable patients (2 lost follow-up) remained in first remission in a median follow-up of 26 (11-47) months.

[Title] Inferior prognostic outcome in acute promyelocytic leukemia with alterations of FLT3 gene.

Alterations of the FLT3 gene, in the form of internal tandem duplications (ITD) and D835 point mutations, occur frequently in acute promyelocytic leukemia (APL).

Both ITD and D835 mutations were associated with shortened event-free survival (P = 0.048 and P = 0.029, respectively), but there was no correlation between disease-free survival among the 61 patients who achieved complete remission and the presence of FLT3 mutations (P = 0.543 for ITD and P = 0.277 for D835).

In Korean patients, however, FLT3 mutations were associated with higher leukemic burdens and early deaths before remission resulting in inferior prognosis.

[Title] Treatment concepts of acute promyelocytic leukemia.

In the past, acute promyelocytic leukemia (APL) was associated with a high risk of early mortality resulting from severe coagulopathy, frequently inducing fatal cerebral hemorrhage.

With the introduction of the differentiating agent all-trans retinioc acid (ATRA) APL has changed to the best curable subtype of acute myeloid leukemia (AML).

With ATRA and chemotherapy approximately 70-80% of patients with newly diagnosed APL achieve long-term remission and are probably cured.

PML/RARalpha, the molecular fusion transcript of the specific translocation t(15;17) represents not only the target for ATRA but also permits a precise diagnosis and provides a marker for the identification of minimal residual or recurrent disease (MRD).

Approximately 50% of the patients in first relapse can achieve long-lasting second remission and might be cured with salvage regimens.

[Title] Treatment of relapsed or refractory acute promyelocytic leukemia.

Current treatment for acute promyelocytic leukemia (APL) usually includes an induction phase with all-trans retinoic acid (ATRA) and anthracycline-based chemotherapy, followed by a consolidation phase of anthracycline-based chemotherapy and maintenance therapy with ATRA with or without low-dose chemotherapy for 1-2 years.

This treatment strategy results in a high complete remission (CR) rate of about 90% and an overall survival rate of 80%.

Hematopoietic stem cell transplantation is becoming a common strategy after achieving remission with ATO.

Autologous transplant appears to have a more favorable outcome than allogeneic transplant in this setting, particularly when carried out during second remission, primarily because of significantly higher treatment-related mortality with allogeneic transplants.

[Title] Eradication of acute promyelocytic leukemia-initiating cells through PML-RARA degradation.

Retinoic acid and arsenic trioxide target the protein stability and transcriptional repression activity of the fusion oncoprotein PML-RARA, resulting in regression of acute promyelocytic leukemia (APL).

Here we show that retinoic acid also triggers growth arrest of leukemia-initiating cells (LICs) ex vivo and their clearance in PML-RARA mouse APL in vivo.

Retinoic acid treatment of mouse APLs expressing the fusion protein PLZF-RARA triggers full differentiation, but not LIC loss or disease remission, establishing that differentiation and LIC loss can be uncoupled.

Thus, whereas transcriptional activation of PML-RARA is likely to control differentiation, its catabolism triggers LIC eradication and long-term remission of mouse APL.

[Title] Use of all-trans retinoic acid in combination with arsenic trioxide for remission induction in patients with newly diagnosed acute promyelocytic leukemia and for consolidation/maintenance in CR patients.

In the present study, 90 patients with newly diagnosed acute promyelocytic leukemia (APL) were studied for all-trans retinoic acid (ATRA) and arsenic trioxide (As(2)O(3)) combination treatment in remission induction and postremission therapy.

In addition, 20 APL patients who had achieved complete remission (CR) with an ATRA-based regimen received ATRA/As(2)O(3) combination for consolidation and maintenance were also enrolled.

The drug toxicity profile showed that with the use of As(2)O(3), the incidence of hepatotoxicity was obviously high during remission induction but decreased significantly during postremission treatment.

We conclude that APL patients may benefit from the early use of the combination of ATRA and As(2)O(3), in either remission induction or consolidation/maintenance.

[Title] [Current therapeutic strategies in the management of acute myeloid leukemia].

Acute myeloid leukemia (AML) is a rare disease of the hematopoietic stem cell leading to uncontrolled proliferation of immature progenitor cells.

Diagnosis can reliably be confirmed by bone marrow aspiration, which also allows risk stratification by cytogenetic and molecular analysis.

Therapy of AML that should preferentially be performed in clinical studies comprises induction therapy for achievement of complete cytomorphological remission (CR) and postremission strategies consisting of consolidation and maintenance therapy for eradication of residual blasts.

To date, induction therapy will be performed independently of the individual risk constellation (with the exception of acute promyelocytic leukemia); however, postremission therapy is highly dependent on individual risk stratification.

[Title] Acute promyelocytic leukemia: current strategies for the treatment of newly diagnosed disease.

Acute promyelocytic leukemia (APL) is a distinct subtype of acute myeloid leukemia that comprises about 10% of cases.

It is characterized by the accumulation of granulocytic cells blocked at the promyelocytic stage of differentiation in the bone marrow and the peripheral blood, life-threatening coagulopathy, and a remarkable response to treatment with all-trans-retinoic acid (ATRA), arsenic trioxide, and anthracyclines.

Current treatment strategies with ATRA and anthracycline-based chemotherapy has dramatically transformed APL into the most curable of all acute leukemias.

[Title] Aberrant promoter methylation of the retinoic acid receptor alpha gene in acute promyelocytic leukemia.

The retinoic acid receptor alpha (RARA) gene is disrupted by PML/RARA fusion in acute promyelocytic leukemia (APL).

To test whether aberrant methylation of P2 was involved, 47 APL at diagnosis, 16 APL at first relapse, 50 acute myeloid leukemia (AML) and 22 acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL) were tested by methylation-specific polymerase chain reaction.

P2 methylation occurred at similar frequencies in APL at diagnosis and relapse, suggesting it was an initiating leukemogenic event.

For APL patients receiving all-trans retinoic acid for induction, P2 methylation did not affect the complete remission rates and survivals.

[Title] Long-term efficacy and safety of all-trans retinoic acid/arsenic trioxide-based therapy in newly diagnosed acute promyelocytic leukemia.

All-trans retinoic acid (ATRA)/arsenic trioxide (ATO) combination-based therapy has benefitted newly diagnosed acute promyelocytic leukemia (APL) in short-term studies, but the long-term efficacy and safety remained unclear.

Eighty patients (94.1%) entered complete remission (CR).

[Title] Long-term colchicine therapy in a patient with Behçet's disease and acute promyelocytic leukemia.

Acute leukemia has seldom been associated with Behçet's disease, although acute promyelocytic leukemia is a particular subtype of leukemia that is often characterized by special cytogenetic abnormalities.

We report a male patient with acute promyelocytic leukemia and Behçet's disease who had received long-term treatment with colchicine.

To our knowledge, this is the first report of the concomitant occurrence of acute promyelocytic leukemia and Behçet's disease, which suggests that long-term colchicine therapy has a role in the pathogenesis of acute promyelocytic leukemia.

At the time of this writing, his disease is in clinical remission.

[Title] Isolated central nervous system relapse in childhood acute promyelocytic leukemia.

Central nervous system (CNS) involvement is rare in acute promyelocytic leukemia (APL).

A second remission was achieved with a regimen consisting of intrathecal chemotherapy, intravenous high-dose cytarabine, and oral 6-mercaptopurine.

The patient remains in molecular remission at 9 months after autologous stem cell transplant.
