Integrated genome-wide genotyping and gene expression profiling reveals BCL11B as a putative oncogene in acute myeloid leukemia with 14q32 aberrations

Acute myeloid leukemia is a neoplasm characterized by recurrent molecular aberrations traditionally demonstrated by cytogenetic analyses. We used high density genome-wide genotyping and gene expression profiling to reveal acquired cryptic abnormalities in acute myeloid leukemia. By genome-wide genotyping of 137 cases of primary acute myeloid leukemia, we disclosed a recurrent focal amplification on chromosome 14q32, which included the genes BCL11B, CCNK, C14orf177 and SETD3, in two cases. In the affected cases, the BCL11B gene showed consistently high mRNA expression, whereas the expression of the other genes was unperturbed. Flu

1-aminoisoquinoline as benzamidine isoster in the design and synthesis of orally active thrombin inhibitors

Replacement of the highly basic benzamidine moiety of NAPAP by the moderately basic 1-aminoisoquinoline moiety resulted in thrombin inhibitors with improved selectivity towards trypsin and enhanced Caco-2 cell permeability
