- ItemBone Marrow Stromal Cells Modulate Mouse ENT1 Activity and Protect Leukemia Cells from Cytarabine Induced Apoptosis(PUBLIC LIBRARY SCIENCE, 2012) Macanas Pirard, Patricia; Leisewitz, Andrea; Broekhuizen, Richard; Cautivo, Kelly; Barriga, Francisco M.; Leisewitz, Francisco; Gidi, Victoria; Riquelme, Erick; Montecinos, Viviana P.; Swett, Pilar; Besa, Pelayo; Ramirez, Pablo; Ocqueteau, Mauricio; Kalergis, Alexis M.; Holt, Matthew; Rettig, Michael; DiPersio, John F.; Nervi, BrunoBackground: Despite a high response rate to chemotherapy, the majority of patients with acute myeloid leukemia (AML) are destined to relapse due to residual disease in the bone marrow (BM). The tumor microenvironment is increasingly being recognized as a critical factor in mediating cancer cell survival and drug resistance. In this study, we propose to identify mechanisms involved in the chemoprotection conferred by the BM stroma to leukemia cells.
