Amyloid Light Chain (AL) Amyloidosis is a rare disorder of protein misfolding and metabolism characterized by insoluble fibrils deposition in various tissues and organs, which could quickly progress and become fatal. The most frequently affected organ is heart being its involvement the most adverse prognostic feature. Kidney and liver could be other organ localizations, defining AL Amyloidosis as a multisystem disorder. Being Budd-Chiari syndrome (BCS) an uncommon congestive hepatopathy caused by blockage of hepatic veins in the absence of cardiac disorders, it could be rarely caused by a massive deposition of amyloid proteins into hepatic sinusoidal spaces, giving an uncommon clinical presentation of AL Amyloidosis.
RESUMO
Despite the availability of target drugs in the first and second line, only 30% of FLT3mut AMLs are cured. Among the multiple mechanisms of resistance, those of FLT3mut LSC are the most difficult to eradicate because of their metabolic and genomic characteristics. Reactivation of glycogen synthesis, inhibition of the RAS/MAPK pathway, and degradation of FLT3 may be potential aids to fight the resistance of LSC to FLT3i. LSC is also characterized by the expression of a CD34+/CD25+/CD123+/CD99+ immunophenotype. The receptor and ligand of FLT3, the natural killer group 2 member D ligand (NKGD2L), and CD123 are some of the targets of chimeric antigen receptor T cells (CAR-T), bispecific T-cell engager molecules (BiTEs), CAR-NK and nanoparticles recently designed and reported here. The combination of these new therapeutic options, hopefully in a minimal residual disease (MRD)-driven approach, could provide the future answer to the challenge of treating FLT3mut AML.
