Do paradigma molecular ao impacto no prognóstico: uma visão da leucemia promielocítica aguda

Abstract: RESUMOA leucemia promielocítica aguda (LPA) é um modelo da aplicabilidade clínica dos conhecimentos moleculares fisiopatológicos. Caracteriza-se por alterações genéticas recorrentes que envolvem o gene do receptor alfa do ácido retinóico. A conseqüência é uma proteína com sensibilidade reduzida ao ligante, com bloqueio da diferenciação mielóide. Entretanto, doses suprafisiológicas do ácido all-trans-retinóico (ATRA) são capazes de suplantar esta deficiência, e este é o princípio fundamental do tratamento da LP… Show more

“…ATRA was immediately suspended and replaced by corticosteroid therapy. This procedure is in accordance with Jácomo et al, 1 who reported the need of early detection of symptoms and initiation of treatment, since ATRA syndrome decreases survival rates. According to these authors, besides the temporary interruption of ATRA, dexametasone must be administered at the dose of 10 mg every 12 hours for at least three to four days, or until the resolution of symptoms.…”

“…As frontline treatment, ATO combined with ATRA is as effective as the combinational therapy of ATRA and chemotherapy [5,31]. At high doses, promyelocytes undergo apoptosis in response to ATO.…”

“…Concerning APL, three different mechanisms of action are described to explain the effect of ATO, namely: 1) ROS production, which in turn activates Jun N-terminal kinase (JNK) leading to apoptosis, 2) phosphorylation and sumoylation of PML-RARα leading to its degradation, and 3) inhibition of transcription of human telomerase reverse transcriptase (hTERT), leading to decreased telomerase activity with subsequent chromosomal fusion and apoptosis (Fig. 3) [5,32]. ATO inhibited the C-terminal and N-terminal active sites of the mammalian thioredoxin reductase (TrxR) enzyme in MCF-7 breast cancer cells in vitro.…”
