Abstract
Primary myelofibrosis is a clonal hematopoietic disorder characterized by ineffective hematopoiesis and progressive bone marrow fibrosis. Patients with high risk myelofibrosis as determined by their advanced age, degree of anemia, leukocytosis, constitutional symptoms and high percentage of circulating blasts have a very short median survival of 2 years. In addition quality of life is significantly compromised due to cytokine induced constitutional symptoms, frequent transfusion for cytopenias and bulky splenomegaly. Progression to myelogenous leukemia occurs in about 20% of patients within 10 years of diagnosis and is often fatal. Allogeneic hematopoietic transplantation is the only curative therapy but is limited by patient eligibility, transplant related mortality and graft versus host disease. Androgens, erythropoietin analogues, hydroxyurea, alkylators and spleen directed therapies have all been used with limited efficacy and no curative potential. The discovery of mutations in the hematopoietic progenitors of patients with myelofibrosis, including the JAK2 V617F mutation and others has greatly improved our understanding of the disease and facilitated development of newer targeted therapies. Our article will review new discoveries in the pathogenesis of myelofibrosis and focus on emerging targeted treatments. These novel therapies including oral JAK2 inhibitors, immunomodulators, as well as inhibitors of HDAC and mTOR, in isolation and in combination are likely to improve outcomes in management of this disease.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION: Malignant pleural mesothelioma (MPM) is a rapidly fatal malignancy that is increasing in incidence. The caspase 8 inhibitor FLIP is an anti-apoptotic protein over-expressed in several cancer types including MPM. The histone deacetylase (HDAC) inhibitor Vorinostat (SAHA) is currently being evaluated in relapsed mesothelioma. We examined the roles of FLIP and caspase 8 in regulating SAHA-induced apoptosis in MPM.
METHODS: The mechanism of SAHA-induced apoptosis was assessed in 7 MPM cell lines and in a multicellular spheroid model. SiRNA and overexpression approaches were used, and cell death was assessed by flow cytometry, Western blotting and clonogenic assays.
RESULTS: RNAi-mediated FLIP silencing resulted in caspase 8-dependent apoptosis in MPM cell line models. SAHA potently down-regulated FLIP protein expression in all 7 MPM cell lines and in a multicellular spheroid model of MPM. In 6/7 MPM cell lines, SAHA treatment resulted in significant levels of apoptosis induction. Moreover, this apoptosis was caspase 8-dependent in all six sensitive cell lines. SAHA-induced apoptosis was also inhibited by stable FLIP overexpression. In contrast, down-regulation of HR23B, a candidate predictive biomarker for HDAC inhibitors, significantly inhibited SAHA-induced apoptosis in only 1/6 SAHA-sensitive MPM cell lines. Analysis of MPM patient samples demonstrated significant inter-patient variations in FLIP and caspase 8 expressions. In addition, SAHA enhanced cisplatin-induced apoptosis in a FLIP-dependent manner.
CONCLUSIONS: These results indicate that FLIP is a major target for SAHA in MPM and identifies FLIP, caspase 8 and associated signalling molecules as candidate biomarkers for SAHA in this disease.

Efficacy of class I and II vs class III histone deacetylase inhibitors in neuroblastoma.

J Pediatr Surg. 2012 Jun;47(6):1267-71

Abstract
BACKGROUND: Histone deacetylase (HDAC) inhibitors have shown promise in the treatment of resistant and refractory tumors including neuroblastoma. The goal of the study was to compare the efficacy of a class III HDAC inhibitor (cambinol) to a class I and II inhibitor (vorinostat).
METHODS: In vitro efficacy of vorinostat and cambinol, alone or in combination with doxorubicin, was assessed by 2-(4,5-dimethylthiazol-2-yl)-2,5-diphenyltetrazolium bromide calorimetric assay using both wild-type (WT) and doxorubicin-resistant (DoxR) SK-N-SH neuroblastoma cells. In vivo efficacy was determined using the same drug combinations in nude mice bearing xenograft implants of WT and DoxR cells on opposite flanks.
RESULTS: Vorinostat and cambinol were efficacious against WT and DoxR neuroblastoma cells in vitro. In WT cells, the potency of the doxorubicin itself overshadowed any effect of cotherapy with vorinostat or cambinol. The effect of vorinostat and/or cambinol on the DoxR cells was constant across progressively increasing doses of doxorubicin. In the in vivo model, the efficacy of doxorubicin itself (88% reduction in tumor volume) again overshadowed any effect of cotreatment with vorinostat or cambinol on the WT tumors. However, in the DoxR tumors, doxorubicin alone had no efficacy, but cotreatment with either cambinol or vorinostat suppressed tumor growth (70% and 91% reduction in tumor volume, respectively).
CONCLUSIONS: Both the class III HDAC inhibitor cambinol and the class I/II HDAC inhibitor vorinostat have efficacy against SK-N-SH neuroblastoma cells, including those resistant to doxorubicin.

Ntified in a broad spectrum of human solid tumors and h Dermatological malignancies. Among BIIB021 CNF2024 the various mechanisms that contribute to the activation of AKT pathway in human tumors St Requirements of PTEN and PI3K upstream Rts by somatic gene therapy and / or epigenetic Ver Changes, the activation of PI3K by autocrine or paracrine stimulation of receptor tyrosine kinase, the overexpression of growth factor receptors such as the receptor for the epidermal growth factor and / or activation of Ras.

Since the AKT signaling pathway is h Deregulated frequently in many cancers and prevention has implications in terms of Tumoraggressivit t and resistance, there is a potential benefit in the orientation of the components of the AKT pathway for treatment of cancer and m for may have Krebspr.
Transgenic WZ3146 EGFR inhibitor models and knockout Mice are very useful for determining the r The Akt kinase in vivo. As pr Clinical models to test the therapeutic efficacy of targeting Akt signaling with GSK690693, we used transgenic Mice in which Lck promoter drives expression of the membrane-bound myristoylated, act in the early development of thymocytes. The LCK MyrAkt2 Transgenic Mice develop spontaneous thymic lymphomas aggressive in October 20 weeks, with the additional keeping advantage of the mutant transgene, the need for activation of phosphoinositide 3,4,5-triphosphate and PIP2 bypasses generated by PI3K, and therefore can not be inhibited by PTEN. The LCK MyrAkt2 model exhibits recurrent chromosomal rearrangements leading to an overexpression of c-Myc, which h Is frequently observed in human lymphoma and postulated that together with activated Akt to drive tumorigenesis.
To further check the effectiveness of the drug Sen treatment with GSK690693, we used a PTEN knockout model / Who is likely to endometrial neoplasia with complete penetrance and characterized by the activation of Akt in the building Rmutterschleimhaut. The PTEN / Model is relevant to human cancer in the loss of PTEN is one of the earliest detectable abnormalities in theThus GSK690693 CYC116 had little effect on the delay Gerung the development of tumors in the day-DR26-TgMISIIR Mice, perhaps due to the fact that tumors in this mouse model of p53 and Rb deregulation due to the expression of the T-antigen, additionally is tzlich to the activation of Akt by deregulation of the phosphatase PP2A by small t antigen.
Furthermore, compared to contr SKOV3 human ovarian carcinoma cells L to isolate a mouse cell was anf Llig for ovarian cancer and GSK690693 Another isolate had only a little sensitive MTT GSK690693 treatment evaluated on a test. Even after 72 hours of treatment and MOVCAR5 MOVCAR6 cells show no significant amount of apoptosis, cell growth did well MOVCAR5 exposure by 50% in a cell cycle arrest in G1 phase. These results suggest, together with the reduction in Ki-67 F Staining in tumors treated GSK690693, that the drug reaction in mice ovarian tumor cells by M TgMISIIR day is through the inhibition of cell cycle. Immunoblotting ovarian tumor cells with specific antibody Rpern Phospho night after treatment of tumor cells with 10 M GSK690693 showed that cells MOVCAR controlled and The SKOV3 cells decreased expression of GSK-3 P, P and P FOXO1 showed p70S6K with a smaller effect on P and P FOXO3a mTOR.

In accordance with its relatively small influence on mTOR kinase activity t, IC50 of 8 hours of the four synthetic inhibitors of the ribosomal S6 protein phosphorylation of Ser235 is substantially less than that of rapamycin. because the phosphatidylinositol 3-kinase inhibitors, particularly at GDC 0941, shows st rkere antiproliferative activity of t against IGROV ovarian cancer cells compared to U87MG glioblastoma cells, we examined the effects of IP on 103 and GDC 0941 Ser473 phosphorylation of AKT as sensitive biomarker for the phosphatidylinositol 3-kinase inhibition in IGROV 1 cells and compared the results with the above described for U87MG cells.
IC50 values for inhibition of phosphorylation of Ser473 of AKT in IGROV 1 cells after 2 or 8 hours of exposure of 18 2 and 17 4 nmol / l and IP 103 and 18-1 and 38 13 nmol / l, respectively for GDC 0941st These values of the line ovarian carcinoma were remarkable Similar values in U87MG glioblastoma cells, despite lower antiproliferative potency inhibitors of glioblastoma line. Close Of course, we compared the IC 50 values for the inhibition of phosphorylation of AKT Ser473 in three lines of human cancer cells of the colon. Although antiproliferative GI50-PI values were 103 37-times of 22 nmol / l to 827 nmol / L, the IC50 values for inhibition of phosphorylation of AKT at Ser473 after 2 hours of exposure, only 2 times of 18 nmol / l to 38 nmol / L for varied.
In the case of GDC 0941, the antiproliferative GI50 values were 9-180 times nmol / l to 1627 nmol / l, may need during the IC50 values for inhibition of phosphorylation at Ser473 Akt After 2 hours after treatment only 2 times of 14 nmol / L to 33 nmol / l varies, if these results for cancer c lines Lon associated with ovarian cancer and glioblastoma cell data into account, it is clear that the Ausma Inhibition of phosphatidylinositol 3-kinase remarkable similar in all cancer cell lines, w while the consequences are in the form of m resembled antiproliferative very different, suggesting a different anti-proliferative response to a given degree of blockade of phosphatidylinositol 3-kinase.

In SCID-M Mice and NOG, the images show a small spleen and no pattern at M NOG mice azellul R.

These differences in MRI findings reflect likely the abnormal development of the spleen in these mice M. The normal spleen is the so-called red pulp and white Pulp composed it known. Red pulp consists of connective tissue and many sinuses are filled with blood, making them red. It functions to filter the blood and a Lagerst tte Rperchen of red blood.
