MLL rearrangements in pediatric acute lymphoblastic and myeloblastic leukemias: MLL specific and lineage specific signatures (2009)

Zangrando, Andrea, Dell'Orto, Marta, Te Kronnie, Geertruy, Basso, Giuseppe

Abstract Background The presence of MLL rearrangements in acute leukemia results in a complex number of biological modifications that still remain largely unexplained. Armstrong et al. proposed MLL...

Bone marrow ectopic expression of a non-coding RNA in childhood T-cell acute lymphoblastic leukemia with a novel t(2;11)(q11.2;p15.1) translocation (2008)

Guastadisegni, Maria, Lonoce, Angelo, Impera, Luciana, Albano, Francesco, D'Addabbo, Pietro, Caruso, Sebastiano, ...

Abstract Chromosomal translocations play a crucial role in tumorigenesis, often resulting in the formation of chimeric genes or in gene deregulation through position effects. T-cell acute...

New data on robustness of gene expression signatures in leukemia: comparison of three distinct total RNA preparation procedures (2007)

Campo Dell'Orto, Marta, Zangrando, Andrea, Trentin, Luca, Li, Rui, Liu, Wei-min, Te Kronnie, Geertruy, ...

Abstract Background Microarray gene expression (MAGE) signatures allow insights into the transcriptional processes of leukemias and may evolve as a molecular diagnostic test. Introduction of MAGE...

Mono- and bi-allelic expression of insulin-like growth factor II gene in human muscle tumors (1994)

Pedone, Paolo V., Tirabosco, Roberto, Cavazzana, Andrea O., Ungaro, Paola, Basso, Giuseppe, Luksch, Roberto, ...

Insulin-like growth factor II (IGF-II) is a mitogen for many cell types and an important modulator of muscle growth and differentiation. IGF-II gene is prevalently expressed during prenatal...

Tumors induce a subset of inflammatory monocytes with immunosuppressive activity on CD8+ T cells

Gallina, Giovanna, Dolcetti, Luigi, Serafini, Paolo, Santo, Carmela De, Marigo, Ilaria, Colombo, Mario P., ...

Active suppression of tumor-specific T lymphocytes can limit the efficacy of immune surveillance and immunotherapy. While tumor-recruited CD11b+ myeloid cells are known mediators of tumor-associated...

The SCFFBW7 ubiquitin ligase complex as a tumor suppressor in T cell leukemia

Thompson, Benjamin J., Buonamici, Silvia, Sulis, Maria Luisa, Palomero, Teresa, Vilimas, Tomas, Basso, Giuseppe, ...

Recent studies have shown that activating mutations of NOTCH1 are responsible for the majority of T cell acute lymphoblastic leukemia (T-ALL) cases. Most of these mutations truncate its C-terminal...

CD20 up-regulation in pediatric B-cell precursor acute lymphoblastic leukemia during induction treatment: setting the stage for anti-CD20 directed immunotherapy

Dworzak, Michael N., Schumich, Angela, Printz, Dieter, Pötschger, Ulrike, Husak, Zvenyslava, Attarbaschi, Andishe, ...

CD20 is expressed in approximately one- half of pediatric acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL) cases with B-cell precursor (BCP) origin. We observed that it is occasionally up-regulated during...
