Optimization of Epigenetic Modifier Drug Combination for Synergistic Effect against Glioblastoma Multiform Cancer Cell Lines. (PubMed, Cancer Invest)
Cell lines were treated with SAHA, 5-Azacytidine, GSK-126, and PTC-209 individually and then RSM was used to find most effective combinations. Results showed that optimized combinations significantly reduce cell survival and induce cell cycle arrest and apoptosis in both cell lines. Expression of cyclin B1 and cyclin D1 were decreased while caspase3 increased expression.

Advancements and Challenges in the Treatment of AML. (PubMed, Am Soc Clin Oncol Educ Book)
FLT3 inhibitors, gemtuzumab ozogamicin, and CPX-351 have been shown to improve outcomes for specific subsets of patients. Venetoclax (VEN) with a hypomethylating agent (HMA) is the standard-of-care frontline regimen for most older patients, except perhaps for those with an IDH1 mutation where ivosidenib with azacitidine may also be considered...This article focuses on recent updates and ongoing challenges in the management of AML, with a particular focus on the ongoing challenge of secondary AML and considerations regarding the selection of initial therapy in younger patients. An overview of common side effects and toxicities associated with targeted therapies is also presented here, along with recommended strategies to mitigate these risks.

Combining 5-azacitidine with the E-selectin antagonist uproleselan is an effective strategy to augment responses in myelodysplasia and acute myeloid leukaemia. (PubMed, Br J Haematol)
Finally, we present clinical evidence showing that BM myeloid cells from higher risk MDS and AML patients have the potential to bind E-selectin, and these cells are more abundant in 5-azacitidine-non-responsive patients. The collective data provide a strong rationale to evaluate 5-azacitidine in combination with the E-selectin antagonist, uproleselan, in this patient population.

RAS mutations in myeloid malignancies: revisiting old questions with novel insights and therapeutic perspectives. (PubMed, Blood Cancer J)
Recent evidence also indicates that RAS mutations drive resistance to targeted therapies, particularly FLT3, IDH1/2, or JAK2 inhibitors, as well as the venetoclax-azacitidine combination. The success of direct RAS inhibitors in patients with solid tumors has brought renewed optimism that this progress will be translated to patients with hematologic malignancies. In this review, we highlight key insights on RAS mutations across myeloid malignancies from the past decade, including their prevalence and distribution, cooperative genetic events, clonal architecture and dynamics, prognostic implications, and therapeutic targeting.

Transformation of Severe Aplastic Anemia into Donor Cell Leukemia after Allogeneic Hematopoietic Stem Cell Transplantation: A Rare Case Report. (PubMed, Am J Case Rep)
The patient received 1 cycle of induction chemotherapy with azacytidine and achieved complete remission...CONCLUSIONS The mechanism of how normal donor hematopoietic cells transform to leukemia in the host remains unclear. Donor cell leukemia provides a unique opportunity to examine genetic variations in donors and hosts with regards to the progression to malignancy.

Poor prognosis of SRSF2 gene mutations in patients treated with VEN-AZA for newly diagnosed acute myeloid leukemia. (PubMed, Leuk Res)
This study aimed to evaluate the impact of Spliceosome mutations in patients treated with Venetoclax and Azacitidine for newly diagnosed AML. This negative prognostic impact remained true in our multivariate analysis. We believe this finding should warrant further studies aimed at overcoming this negative impact.

Autophagy degrades immunogenic endogenous retroelements induced by 5-azacytidine in acute myeloid leukemia. (PubMed, Leukemia)
Finally, autophagy was associated with a lower abundance of CD8+ T-cell markers in AML patients expressing high levels of EREs. This work demonstrates that AZA-induced EREs are degraded by autophagy and shows that inhibiting autophagy can improve the immune recognition of AML blasts in treated patients.

Combination therapy with venetoclax and azacitidine for the treatment of myelodysplastic syndromes with DDX41 mutations. (PubMed, Hematology)
Myelodysplastic syndromes (MDS) patients with DEAD-box helicase 41 (DDX41) mutations have been reported to be treated effectively with lenalidomide; however, there are no randomized studies to prove it. We retrospectively analyzed the genetic features and clinical characteristics of these patients. Our findings suggest that MDS patients with DDX41 mutation may benefit from the therapy, for six subjects received this regimen as initial therapy and five of the six subjects achieved complete remission.
