Implications of s-SHIP Expression and SHIP Alterations in AML


OBJECTIVES:

- Determine the extent and prognostic implications of variable s-SHIP expression and SHIP
gene mutations in pediatric patients with acute myeloid leukemia.

- Determine the effects of aberrant s-SHIP expression on the PI3K/Akt pathway in these
patients via electrochemiluminescence and phosphospecific flow cytometry assays.

OUTLINE: RNA samples are analyzed for variable s-SHIP expression and are screened for SHIP
mutations. Cryopreserved cells (with known high- or low-s-SHIP expression) are analyzed for
the levels of various components of the PI3K/Akt pathway via electrochemiluminescence and
phosphospecific flow cytometry.
