Q

Outline the pathophysiology of CML

A
  • Translocation occurs between chromosome 9 and 22, forming BCR-ABL1 fusion gene
  • BCR-ABL1 molecule is a constitutively active tyrosine kinase
  • Causes downstream activation of oncogenes, such as JAK, PI3K and RAS
  • Leading to increased proliferation, survival and clonal expansion of cells with the initial t(9;22) mutation.

Q

How does Multiple myeloma lead to bone weakness?

A
  • Multilpe myeloma (MM) cells overproduce RANK ligand
  • Osteoprotegerin (OPG) is downregulated (MM endocytosis)
  • Leads to activation of osteoclasts
  • MM cels produce Dkk-1 which inhibit osteoblasts
  • produces sclerostin, which inhibits osteoblasts
  • Imbalance of osteoblast/osteoclast activity leads to osteolytic lesions and bone weakness

Q

What is the mechanism of action of Imatinib?

A
  • Imatinib is a tyrosine kinase inhibitor
  • It binds to the ATP binding site of BCR-ABL1, preventing ATP from binding and donating it’s phosphate.
  • Therefore no activation of oncogenic proteins

107

-Could also possibly be AML M0-1

108

110

CD13+, CD33+, CD117+, -CD 34+ (if immature cells)

111

A

B-ALL, specifically ProB-ALL

112
Q

What disease does this lymph node histology (with cyclin D1 stain) suggest?

A
  • Mantle cell lymphoma
  • expression of cyclin D1
  • Located in mantle zone
  • Characteristic deformed pattern of small lymphocytes with angular nuclei
113
Q

Outline the treatment of Multiple myeloma

A
  • Steroids
  • Alkylating agents (melphalan)
  • Adds alkyl group to guanine residues, blocks replication, causes lymphopenia.
  • Proteosome inhibitors
  • proteosome required for protein degredation into oligopeptides/amino acids.
  • Blocking proteasome leads to decreased amino acids in cell, leading to decreased protein synthesis
  • Effective in MM as there is lots of protein production
  • Monoclonal Abs (daratumumab: anti CD38 antibody)
  • Immunomodulatory drugs (IMIDS)
114

A

CLL

-Not to be confused with mantle cell lymphoma (CD23-, Cyclin D1+)
