Abstract
The biological and prognostic heterogeneity of both CBF-AML subtypes, including gene mutation and gene expression profiles as well as molecular response to therapy, has been recently described. SUMMARY: These new insights in the heterogeneity of CBF-AML suggest that a tailored approach might be pref...

Abstract
We report a genome-wide miRNA expression analysis in 52 acute myeloid leukemia (AML) samples with common translocations, including t(8;21)/AML1(RUNX1)-ETO(RUNX1T1), inv(16)/CBFB-MYH11, t(15;17)/PML-RARA, and MLL rearrangements. Distinct miRNA expression patterns were observed for t(15;17), MLL rearr...

Abstract
We report on a 75-year-old female presenting with a Core-binding Factor (CBF) AML of M4eo subtype. The patient also had jaundice, highly elevated bilirubin, lipase, alkaline phosphatase (AP), CA 19-9, and a pancreatic mass highly suspicious of infiltrating pancreatic carcinoma. However, a biopsy dem...

Abstract
Core binding factor (CBF) acute myeloid leukemia (AML) is cytogenetically defined by the presence of t(8;21)(q22;q22) or inv(16)(p13q22)/t(16;16)(p13;q22), which are found in approximately 15% of all adult de novo AML cases. At the molecular level, both cytogenetic abnormalities result in disruption...

Abstract
We show that oocyte-specific deletion at the primary follicle stage of core 1 beta1,3-galactosyltransferase (T-synthase; generates core 1-derived O-glycans), leads to a sustained increase in fertility. T-syn mutant females ovulated 30-50% more eggs and had a sustained increase in litter size compare...

Abstract
We found that, in rat hippocampus, the insertion of AMPA receptors (AMPARs) into spines during synaptic plasticity requires a specific motor protein, which we identified as myosin Va. We found that myosin Va associates with AMPARs through its cargo binding domain. This interaction was enhanced by ac...

Enamel matrix derivative inhibited ALP activity from the early stage of culture (29-44% inhibition) on days 5 and 10 and decreased bone nodule formation by 37-67% on day 17. These effects of EMD were concentration dependent. Enamel matrix derivative inhibited mRNA expression of osteocalcin and core...

Abstract
We analyzed receptor tyrosine kinases (RTKs) and Ras mutations on 154 children with AML. Also, we examined the paired diagnosis and relapse samples in CBF-AML. CBF-AML accounted for 27% (41/154). c-KIT mutations were detected in 41.5% of CBF-AML at diagnosis (6 in exon 8, 10 in exon 17 and 1 in both...

Abstract
We profiled gene expression in a large series (n = 93) of AML patients with CBF leukemia [(inv (16), n = 55; t(8;21), n = 38)]. By unsupervised hierarchical clustering we were able to define a subgroup of CBF cases (n = 35) characterized by shorter overall survival times (P = .03). While there was n...

We screened for the expression of the FIP1L1-PDGFRalpha fusion gene and for mutations in the juxtamembrane and tyrosine kinase domains of PDGFRalpha/beta genes in 22 cases of CBF leukemia with eosinophilia. Among these cases, no FIP1L1-PDGFRalpha fusion gene was found. Although cDNA sequencing also...
