| Summary: | Acute myeloid leukemia (AML) is a heterogeneous disease with multiple mutations in hematopoietic stem cells characterized by abnormality increases in immature or dysfunctional white blood cells. The precise mechanisms of AML development have not been clear but there are many factors increase to developing leukemia such as familial history of leukemia, elderly, life style, genetics and some chronic disease like diabetic. Multiple mutilations happen in the hematopoietic stem cells, acquire some form of genetic instability lead to improve expression of some protein kinase and transduction protein following that increase ROS formation, which is associated with increased DNA damage. Nowadays, the use antioxidant drugs are growingly accepted in universal due to their safety and efficiency to diminish the adverse effects of free radicals and treatment of the many diseases such as cancer. In this article, we discussed the correlation between acute myeloid leukemia incidence and the oxidant biomarkers (oxidative stress), and more focusing on the great role of antioxidant biomarkers, whether the non-enzymatic or the enzymatic in the protection of the cells against harmful effects of free radicals in the acute myeloid leukemia patients. |
