Acute myeloid leukaemia was diagnosed 4 and 5 years after G-CSF mobilisation in two donors who underwent peripheral blood stem cell donation for sibling allogeneic haematopoietic stem cell transplantation.
Acute myeloblastic leukemia (ANLL-M2) with t(8;21)(q22;q22) variant expressing lymphoid but not myeloid surface antigens with a high number of G-CSF receptors.
Acute myeloid leukemia (AML) blast cells frequently produce interleukin-6 (IL-6) and other cytokines such as colony-stimulating factors (CSF: G-CSF, M-CSF, and GM-CSF), tumor necrosis factor (TNF)-alpha, and IL-1.
G-CSF distinctly promoted the proliferation of leukaemic cells of t(16;21) AML, but did not enhance the expression of MPO and neutrophil differentiation of these cells.
Granulocyte colony-stimulating factor (G-CSF) treatment of childhood acute myeloid leukemias that overexpress the differentiation-defective G-CSF receptor isoform IV is associated with a higher incidence of relapse.
G-CSF priming, clofarabine, and high dose cytarabine (GCLAC) for upfront treatment of acute myeloid leukemia, advanced myelodysplastic syndrome or advanced myeloproliferative neoplasm.
CSF3 therapy has greatly improved the life expectancy of SCN patients, but also unveiled a high frequency of progression toward myelodysplastic syndrome (MDS) and therapy refractory acute myeloid leukemia (AML).
A higher of MDS/AML was observed in patients with NHL risk among those who received G-CSF that was specific to the use of filgrastim (≥10 doses), but not pegfilgrastim.
A novel EVI1 gene family, MEL1, lacking a PR domain (MEL1S) is expressed mainly in t(1;3)(p36;q21)-positive AML and blocks G-CSF-induced myeloid differentiation.
A regimen of low-dose cytarabine and aclarubicin combined with granulocyte-colony-stimulating factor (CAG) led to higher CR rates in the CD25-positive AML patients than intensive chemotherapies.
A total of 56 elderly patients with de novo AML were treated with homoharringtonine and cytarabine in combination with granulocyte colony-stimulating factor (HCG).
Abnormalities in the signal-transduction pathways for granulocyte colony-stimulating factor (G-CSF) may play a part in the progression to acute myeloid leukemia.
Acetylated C/EBPα is enriched in human myeloid leukaemia cell lines and acute myeloid leukaemia (AML) samples, and downregulated upon granulocyte-colony stimulating factor (G-CSF)- mediated granulocytic differentiation of 32Dcl3 cells.
After demonstrating the safety and feasibility in a phase I study, we conducted a phase II clinical study of CLAG (cladribine, cytarabine, granulocyte colony-stimulating factor) regimen combined with IM for patients with RR-AML.
Although myeloablative HLA haploidentical hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (haplo-HSCT) following pretransplant anti-thymocyte globulin (ATG) and granulocyte colony-stimulating factor (G-CSF) stimulated grafts (ATG+G-CSF) has been confirmed as an alternative to HSCT from HLA-matched sibling donors (MSD), the effect of haplo-HSCT on postremission treatment of patients with acute myeloid leukemia (AML) with intermediate risk (int-risk AML) who achieved first complete remission (CR1) has not been defined.
Although the majority of congenital neutropenia patients respond to daily granulocyte colony stimulating factor, approximately 15 % do not respond to this cytokine at doses up to 50 μg/kg/day and approximately 15 % of patients will develop myelodysplasia or acute myeloid leukemia.
As acute myeloblastic leukemia (AML) blasts can express and produce hematopoietic growth factors, the influence of TNF-alpha on the accumulation of mRNAs for c-myc, interleukin-3 (IL-3), granulocyte-macrophage colony-stimulating factor (GM-CSF), G-CSF, IL-6 and IL-1 beta was evaluated in fresh blasts from 13 patients with AML.
At diagnosis, clonal gene rearrangement probes [retinoic acid receptor (RAR)-alpha, major breakpoint cluster region (M-bcr), immunoglobulin (Ig)-JH, T cell receptor (TcR)-beta, myeloid lymphoid leukemia (MLL) or cytokine genes (GM-CSF, G-CSF, IL-3)] were detected in bone marrow samples from 71 of 153 patients with acute myelogenous leukemia (AML) (46%): in 41 patients with primary AML (pAML) (58%) and in 30 patients with secondary AML (42%).
At high concentrations, DAB486-G-CSF is cytotoxic towards G-CSF-dependent OCI/AML1 cells, but not factor independent OCI/AML3 cells; colony formation by G-CSF-responsive leukemic blasts from a patient with acute myeloblastic leukemia (AML) was also inhibited.
Autologous transplantation in acute myeloid leukemia: peripheral blood stem cell harvest after mobilization in steady state by granulocyte colony-stimulating factor alone.
CD34+ cells from a total of 93 patients with either acute myeloid leukemia (AML; n = 25), chronic myeloid leukemia (CML; n = 21), chronic lymphocytic leukemia (CLL; n = 18), polycythemia vera (PV; n = 16), or myelodysplastic syndromes (MDS; n = 13) were analyzed before and in 19 patients after ex vivo expansion in the presence of multiple cytokines (kit ligand, interleukin-3, interleukin-6, and granulocyte colony-stimulating factor plus erythropoietin).
Cell differentiation and four WT1 isoforms were assessed in CD34(+) cells from patients with acute myelogenous leukemia in presence or absence of recombinant human GM-CSF and G-CSF, on days 0, 10 and 20 of culture.
