A recent study from the “Department of Laboratory Medicine, University of California San Francisco, San Francisco, California 94143, USA; and Department of Haematology, University of Cambridge, Cambridge CB2 OAH, UK” shows that Identification of FOXM1 as a therapeutic target in B-cell lineage acute lymphoid leukaemia. This study was published in the 10 March 2015 issue of the Online journal “Nature Communication” by Prof Müschen M, Buchner M and others.
On the foundation of this interesting finding, Dr L Boominathan PhD, Director-cum-chief Scientist of GBMD, reports that: MiRNA-based therapy for leukaemia: MiRNA-24-1 suppresess B-cell lineage acute lymphoid leukaemia via down regulation of its target gene
Significance:
This study suggests an miRNA-based therapy for human leukaemia: MiRNA-24-1, by suppressing the expression of its target gene, it may inhibit the progression of B-cell lineage acute leukaemia. Thus, pharmacological formulations encompassing “MiRNA-24-1 activators” may be used to inhibit B-cell lineage acute leukaemia.
