Wide-transcriptome analysis and cellularity of bone marrow CD34+/lin- cells of patients with chronic-phase chronic myeloid leukemia at diagnosis vs. 12 months of first-line nilotinib treatment

Cancer Biomark. 2017 Dec 12;21(1):41-53. doi: 10.3233/CBM-170209.

Abstract

Background: Chronic myeloid leukemia (CML) is a clonal myeloproliferative disorder with heterogeneous biological and clinical features. The biomolecular mechanisms of CML response to tyrosine-kinase inhibitors are not fully defined.

Objective: We undertook a gene expression profiling (GEP) study of selected bone marrow (BM) CD34+/lin- cells of chronic-phase CML patients at diagnosis and after 12 months of TKI nilotinib to investigate molecular signatures characterizing both conditions.
