| Resumo | |
The gradual acquisition of genetic and epigenetic disturbances bestows malignant traits upon hematopoietic stem cells, subverting them into a founder and reservoir cell for de novo acute myeloid leukemia (AML) known as leukemic stem cells (LSC). Beyond its molecular heterogeneity, AML is also characterized by rewiring biological processes to support its onset and maintenance. LSC were observed to inherently and actively trigger mitochondrial turnover through selective autophagic removal such that impairing the process led to cell differentiation at the expense of its stemness. This review provides a current take on autophagy regulation mechanisms according to the current molecular characterization of the process; describes autophagy as a drug resistance mechanism, and a pivotal mechanism whereby LSC harmonize their strong reliance on mitochondrial respiration to obtain energy, and their necessity for lower internal oxidative stress to avoid exhaustion. Therefore, targeting autophagy presents a promising strategy to promote long-term remissions in AML. (AU) | |
