Tracking the extramedullary PML-RARα-positive cell reservoirs in a preclinical model: Biomarker of long-term drug efficacy

Using an acute promyelocytic leukemia (APL) preclinical model, we show that oncogene–specific PCR (Polymerase Chain Reaction)-based assays allow to evaluate the efficacy of immunotherapy combining all-trans retinoic acid (ATRA) and a DNA-based vaccine targeting the promyelocytic leukemia-retinoic ac...

Zusammenfassung:Using an acute promyelocytic leukemia (APL) preclinical model, we show that oncogene–specific PCR (Polymerase Chain Reaction)-based assays allow to evaluate the efficacy of immunotherapy combining all-trans retinoic acid (ATRA) and a DNA-based vaccine targeting the promyelocytic leukemia-retinoic acid receptor alpha (PML-RARα) oncogene. Kaplan–Meier survival analysis according to the peripheral blood PML-RARα normalized copy number (NCN) clearly shows that ATRA + DNA-treated mice with an NCN lower than 10 (43%) formed the group with a highly significant (p
