Abstract excerpt
OBJECTIVE: Internal tandem duplication (ITD) mutations of the FLT3 receptor are associated with a high incidence of relapse in acute myeloid leukemia (AML). Expression of the CXCR4 receptor in FLT3-ITD-positive AML is correlated with poor outcome, and inhibition of CXCR4 was shown to sensitize AML blasts toward chemotherapy. The aim of this study was to evaluate the impact of FLT3-ITD on cell proliferation and...
