Prognostic impact of immunophenotypic classification for newly diagnosed NPM1-mutated acute myeloid leukemia. (PubMed, Cytometry B Clin Cytom)
However, differences did not reach statistical significance. These findings help us to contribute with additional information about the biological and immunophenotypic signature of NPM1-AML.

KITENIN-CCL20 axis is a potential therapeutic target for modulating immunosuppressive tumor microenvironment in glioblastoma. (PubMed, Neurotherapeutics)
In vivo neutralization of CCL20 resulted in reduced tumor volume, prolonged survival, and decreased M-MDSCs, thus affirming the role of CCL20 in mediating immunosuppression. Our findings underscore the KITENIN-CCL20 axis as a promising target for alleviating the immunosuppressive TME in GBM, potentially unlocking new avenues for GBM immunotherapy.

Primary Hepatic Hemangiosarcoma With Hemoperitoneum in a Dog: Clinical Course and Therapeutic Outcome. (PubMed, Case Rep Vet Med)
The multimodal therapeutic approach included one attempted VAC cycle (discontinued due to Grade 4 neutropenia), five cycles of single-agent doxorubicin, and subsequent administration of toceranib with dose reduction for anemia...Postmortem extended immunohistochemistry demonstrated heterogeneous receptor tyrosine kinase (RTK) expression: EGFR and VEGFR positivity, strong membranous HER2 labeling in approximately 60% of tumor cells, low KIT expression, and negative PDGFR. This case underscores the aggressive metastatic nature of primary hepatic hemangiosarcoma following rupture and highlights practical considerations for systemic therapy selection and adverse event monitoring in clinical practice.

Clinicopathological features of PDGFRA D842Y-mutant gastrointestinal stromal tumors: insights from four cases. (PubMed, Int Cancer Conf J)
The remaining patient had an unresectable tumor and received tyrosine kinase inhibitor therapy; however, sequential treatment with imatinib and sunitinib was clinically ineffective. However, their clinical behavior differs: D842Y-mutant GISTs consistently present as large, hypervascular tumors associated with acute complications. The therapeutic efficacy of tyrosine kinase inhibitors remains unclear, underscoring the need for further case accumulation to better define the clinical course and determine optimal treatment strategies for this rare subtype.

KIT Mutation-NTRK fusion oncogenic driver switch: a novel mechanism of acquired imatinib resistance in GIST. (PubMed, NPJ Precis Oncol)
In vitro modeling demonstrated that EML4::NTRK3 confers imatinib resistance, while sensitizing GIST cells to NTRK inhibitors. This first reported instance of an NTRK fusion as a secondary event in GIST progression underscores the importance of testing for NTRK alterations in tumors that have developed resistance to tyrosine kinase inhibitors to ensure patients are offered all available therapeutic options.

Common tissue-specific expressions and regulatory factors of c-KIT isoforms with and without GNNK and GNSK sequences across five mammals. (PubMed, PLoS One)
We found that the expression ratio of c-KIT isoforms differs across tissues, and such features are conserved across animal species: GNNK+ and GNSK+ isoforms have high expression ratios in the central nervous system, while GNNK- and GNSK- predominate in other tissues. Furthermore, NOVA2, RBFOX1, RBFOX3, and DYRK1A were suggested to be candidate factors regulating the selection of the alternative 5' splice donor site of KIT.

A Druggable Tumor Suppressor and Leukemic Stem Cell Marker. (PubMed, bioRxiv)
We tested buloxibutid (C21), a small-molecule AT2R agonist currently in phase II trials for idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis, in AML PDX models derived from 20 de novo and 6 relapsed AML samples. C21 significantly inhibited AML progression and enhanced the efficacy of chemotherapy, particularly in relapsed AML models.

Phase 3 study of intensive chemotherapy with or without dasatinib in core-binding factor acute myeloid leukemia. (PubMed, Blood)
In patients with CBF-AML, the addition of dasatinib to intensive chemotherapy failed to improve survival outcomes. The addition of dasatinib was associated with an increase in toxicity. This trial was registered at www.

Disruption of gastrointestinal pdgfrα+ cells leads to loss of post-junctional inhibitory motor responses. (PubMed, Am J Physiol Gastrointest Liver Physiol)
Purinergic inhibitory post-junctional motor responses were greatly attenuated in the GI tracts of crenolanib treated animals compared to vehicle treated controls in response to electric field evoked nerve stimulation. These data provide evidence for a functional role of PDGFRα+ cells in inhibitory neuroeffector motor responses throughout the gastrointestinal tract.

Comprehensive bioinformatics analysis identified and validated KIT as a key gene associated with glutamine metabolism in thyroid carcinoma. (PubMed, Medicine (Baltimore))
Tumors with low KIT expression exhibited enhanced immune infiltration and significant correlation with immune checkpoint genes, including PDCD1LG2 and PDCD1 (P < .05). This study identifies KIT as a key GMRG in THCA, positioning it as a novel diagnostic biomarker and a potential therapeutic evaluation marker for tumor progression.

Pathological findings, KIT expression, and clinical course of cutaneous mast cell tumours in pet Syrian hamsters (Mesocricetus auratus). (PubMed, Top Companion Anim Med)
Immunohistochemically, the neoplastic cells had diffuse, granular cytoplasmic labelling to anti-KIT antibody. There was no evidence of recurrence in both cases, and no metastatic lesions were observed in Case 1 on necropsy and subsequent histopathological examination, suggesting that, compared with other animals, mast cell tumours have a benign clinical course in Syrian hamsters during the initial follow-up period.
