Abstract

Reduced oxygen partial pressure (pO2, hypoxia) is an important component of the bone marrow microenvironment and the hematopoietic stem cell niche. It is unclear whether this applies to the leukemic stem cell as well and if differences in pO2 between the normal hematopoetic and the leukemic stem cell niche exits. Here, we demonstrate that while there is no detectable difference in the hypoxic level of bone marrow infiltrated by acute myeloid leukemia (AML) and healthy bone marrow, physiological hypoxia of 1% O2 itself leads to cell cycle arrest of AML blasts (both cell lines and primary AML samples) in the G0/G1 phase with upregulation of p27 and consecutive decrease of cells in the S phase. Hence, susceptibility of AML blasts toward cytarabine as S phase dependent drug is significantly decreased as shown by decreased cytotoxicity in vitro. In addition, cells exposed to hypoxia activate PI3K/Akt and increase expression of anti-apoptotic XIAP. Inhibition of PI3K can restore cytarabine sensitivity of AML blasts at hypoxic conditions. In conclusion, hypoxia mediated effects encountered in the bone marrow might contribute to chemoresistance of AML blasts.

Attention Score in Context

Attention Score in Context

This research output has an Altmetric Attention Score of 10. This is our high-level measure of the quality and quantity of online attention that it has received. This Attention Score, as well as the ranking and number of research outputs shown below, was calculated when the research output was last mentioned on 24 March 2016.
All research outputs
#3,709,974
of 25,373,627 outputs
Outputs from Leukemia Research
#137
of 2,134 outputs
Outputs of similar age
#46,537
of 279,164 outputs
Outputs of similar age from Leukemia Research
#3
of 32 outputs
Altmetric has tracked 25,373,627 research outputs across all sources so far. Compared to these this one has done well and is in the 85th percentile: it's in the top 25% of all research outputs ever tracked by Altmetric.
So far Altmetric has tracked 2,134 research outputs from this source. They receive a mean Attention Score of 4.0. This one has done particularly well, scoring higher than 93% of its peers.
Older research outputs will score higher simply because they've had more time to accumulate mentions. To account for age we can compare this Altmetric Attention Score to the 279,164 tracked outputs that were published within six weeks on either side of this one in any source. This one has done well, scoring higher than 83% of its contemporaries.
We're also able to compare this research output to 32 others from the same source and published within six weeks on either side of this one. This one has done particularly well, scoring higher than 90% of its contemporaries.
