Myeloid Neoplasms Flashcards
Give rise to common myeloid stem cell or common lymphoid stem cell
Multipotent stem cell
Cannot self renew, but actively differentiate
Blasts
AML
Acute myeloid leukemia
Acquired genetic alterations causing impaired maturation of leukemic cells
AML
Include RUNX1, RARA, and NPM1 mutations
AML
Includes mutations of genes involved in signal transduction
FLT3, JAK2, and KIT
AML
Has auer rods. Myeloperoxidase positive.
CD34/CD13/CD33
Myeloblast of AML
Myeloperoxidase negative
CD11b/CD14/HLADR
monoblast
Associated with t(8;21), inv16, t(15;17), and t(11q23)
AML
Formation of chimeric gene with dominant negative activity. Interferes with fn of transcription activator, so have daughter cells unable to differentiate
inv 16 of AML
t(15;17) causes
acute promyelocytic leukemia
of AML
RARA gene fused to PML gene. PML/RARA protein blocks ___________ differentiation at _____________ stage
Translocation?
myeloid
promyelocytic stage
t(15;17)
Use topoisomerase inhibitors (1-3yr latency), alkylating agents (5-7 yr latency). Poor prognosis
AML
Similar symptoms to ALL. BM failure. Bleeding diathesis. Opportunistic infections. Granulocytic sarcoma
AML
Associated with DIC
Acute promyelocytic leukemia
t(15;17) acute promyelocytic leukemia is different - use _______ based chemo plus _______ or ________
Anthracylcine
ATRA
Arsenic
ATRA
All trans retnoic acid (vit A analogue)
t(8;21) and inv 16
Better prognosis
11q23
poorer prognosis
Refractory anemia only is _____ grade
low
