Acute myeloid leukemia (AML) is a hematologic malignancy that is the most common type of acute leukemia diagnosed in adults and the second most common type in children. The overall survival is poor and treatment is associated with significant complications and even death. In addition, a significant number of patients will not respond to therapy or relapse. In this review, several new signaling proteins aberrantly regulated in AML are described, including CREB, Triad1, Bcl-2 family members, Stat3, and mTOR/MEK. Identifying more effective and less toxic agents will provide novel approaches to treat AML.
急性髓系白血病(AML)是一种血液系统恶性肿瘤,是成人中最常见的急性白血病类型,在儿童中是第二常见类型。总体生存率较低,治疗会伴有严重并发症甚至死亡。此外,相当数量的患者对治疗无反应或会复发。在本综述中,描述了几种在AML中异常调节的新信号蛋白,包括CREB、Triad1、Bcl-2家族成员、Stat3和mTOR/MEK。识别更有效且毒性更小的药物将为治疗AML提供新方法。
