1 Novel therapies for chronic myelogenous leukemia
Balkrishna N Jahagirdar, Jeffrey S Miller, Arun Shet, Catherine M Verfaillie  Experimental Hematology  Volume 29, Issue 5, Pages (May 2001) DOI: /S X(01)

2 Figure 1 Signal transduction pathways affected by the p210BCR-ABL oncoprotein. Activation of the Ras, Jak/Stat, and PI-3 kinase pathways results in increased proliferation, normal differentiation, and decreased apoptosis of the CML progenitors. The FAK-Paxillin-F-actin-integrin pathway impairs adhesion to the marrow stroma and causes premature release of the CML progenitors into the circulation. STK = Serine Threonine Kinase Experimental Hematology  , DOI: ( /S X(01) )

3 Figure 2 Targets of novel therapies for CML. Antisense oligonucleotides inhibit translation. Immunotherapies evoke responses against the p210BCR-ABL peptide. Tyrosine kinase (TK) inhibitors inhibit the TK function of p210BCR-ABL. Farnesyl transferase inhibitors inhibit activation of the Ras protein Experimental Hematology  , DOI: ( /S X(01) )
