Fas-mediated apoptosis is important in regulating cell replication and death in trisomy 8 hematopoietic cells but not in cells with other cytogenetic abnormalities
26 Nov 2002
Abstract excerpt
Increased apoptosis of hematopoietic progenitor cells has been implicated in the pathophysiology of cytopenias associated with myelodysplastic syndromes (MDSs), and inhibition by immunosuppression may account for the success of this treatment in some patients. We examined bone marrow and peripheral blood of 25 patients with chromosomal abnormalities associated with MDS (monosomy 7, trisomy 8, and 5q-) for...
