Increased expression of CD70 in relapsed acute myeloid leukemia after hypomethylating agents.

ABSTRACT: Acute myeloid leukemia (AML) is the most common acute leukemia in adults. While induction chemotherapy leads to remission in most patients, a significant number will experience relapse. Therefore, there is a need for novel therapies that can improve remission rates in patients with relapsed and refractory AML. CD70 is the natural ligand for CD27 (a member of the TNF superfamily) and appears to be a promising therapeutic target. Consequently, there is considerable interest in developing chimeric antigen receptor (CAR) T-cell therapy products that can specifically target CD70 in various neoplasms, including AML. In this study, we employed routine diagnostic techniques, such as immunohistochemistry and flow cytometry, to investigate the expression of CD70 in bone marrow samples from treatment
