Progress in our understanding of the central genes, pathways, and mechanisms in the pathobiology of T-cell acute lymphoblastic leukemia (T-ALL) has identified key drivers of the disease, opening new opportunities for therapy. Drugs targeting highly prevalent genetic alterations in NOTCH1 and CDKN2A are being explored, and multiple other targets with readily available therapeutic agents, and immunotherapies are being investigated. The molecular basis of T-ALL is reviewed here and potential targets and therapeutic targets discussed.
我们对T细胞急性淋巴细胞白血病(T-ALL)病理生物学中的核心基因、信号通路和机制的理解取得了进展,已确定了该疾病的关键驱动因素,为治疗带来了新机遇。针对NOTCH1和CDKN2A中高度普遍的基因改变的药物正在探索中,其他多种有现成治疗药物的靶点以及免疫疗法也在研究中。本文综述了T-ALL的分子基础,并讨论了潜在靶点和治疗靶点。
