      Breakpoint Cluster Region-Abelson kinase (BCR–Abl) is a driver oncogene that causes chronic myeloid leukemia and a subset of acute lymphoid leukemias. Although tyrosine kinase inhibitors provide an effective treatment for ...

    • Chronic Myeloid Leukemia Relapsing 25 Years after Allogenic Stem Cell Transplantation 

      Reikvam, Håkon; Skavland, Jørn; Gullaksen, Stein-Erik; Hovland, Randi; Gedde-Dahl, Tobias; Bruserud, Øystein; Gjertsen, Bjørn Tore (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2018-09-23)
      Chronic myeloid leukemia (CML) is a myeloproliferative disorder in which neoplastic cells exhibit the Philadelphia chromosome and the related oncoprotein BCR-ABL1. Allogeneic stem cell transplantation (allo-SCT) was ...

    • Cyclic AMP can promote APL progression and protect myeloid leukemia cells against anthracycline-induced apoptosis 

      Gausdal, Gro; Wergeland, Anita; Skavland, Jørn; Nguyen, Eric; Pendino, Frédéric; Rouhee, Nazanin; McCormack, Emmet; Herfindal, Lars; Kleppe, Rune; Havemann, Ursula; Schwede, Frank; Bruserud, Øystein; Gjertsen, Bjørn Tore; Lanotte, Michel; Ségal-Bendirdjian, Evelyne; Døskeland, Stein Ove (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2013)
      We show that cyclic AMP (cAMP) elevating agents protect blasts from patients with acute promyelocytic leukemia (APL) against death induced by first-line anti-leukemic anthracyclines like daunorubicin (DNR). The cAMP effect ...

    • Early response evaluation by single cell signaling profiling in acute myeloid leukemia 

      Tislevoll, Benedicte Sjo; Hellesøy, Monica; Fagerholt, Oda Helen Eck; Gullaksen, Stein-Erik; Srivastava, Aashish; Birkeland, Even; Kleftogiannis, Dimitrios; Ayuda Duran, Pilar; Piechaczyk, Laure Isabelle; Tadele, Dagim Shiferaw; Skavland, Jørn; Panagiotis, Baliakas; Hovland, Randi; Andresen, Vibeke; Seternes, Ole Morten; Tvedt, Tor Henrik Anderson; Aghaeepour, Nima; Gavasso, Sonia; Porkka, Kimmo; Jonassen, Inge; Fløisand, Yngvar; Enserink, Jorrit; Blaser, Nello; Gjertsen, Bjørn Tore (Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2023)
      Aberrant pro-survival signaling is a hallmark of cancer cells, but the response to chemotherapy is poorly understood. In this study, we investigate the initial signaling response to standard induction chemotherapy in a ...

    • Intensive chemotherapy for acute myeloid leukemia differentially affects circulating TC1, TH1, TH17 and TREG cells 

      Ersvær, Elisabeth; Liseth, Knut; Skavland, Jørn; Gjertsen, Bjørn Tore; Bruserud, Øystein (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2010-07-09)
      Background Several observations suggest that immunological events early after chemotherapy, possibly during the period of severe treatment-induced cytopenia, are important for antileukemic immune reactivity in acute myeloid ...
