Leukemia development depends on multiple factors, including supportive growth signals from non-leukemia cells in the surrounding tumor microenvironment. Identifying these critical supportive cells, and eliminating their support, remains challenging. This dissertation contains novel research that identifies supportive monocyte/macrophage cells expressing colony stimulating factor 1 receptor (CSF1R) in human chronic lymphocytic leukemia (CLL) and acute myeloid leukemia (AML). 000003091 542__ $$fIn copyright - single owner 000003091 650__ $$aMacrophage Colony-Stimulating Factor$$028934 000003091 650__ $$aMacrophages$$021733 000003091 650__ $$aMonocytes$$022414 000003091 650__ $$aCell Proliferation$$036166 000003091 650__ $$aTumor Microenvironment$$039473 000003091 650__ $$aHematologic Neoplasms$$031549 000003091 650__ $$aLeukemia, Myeloid, Acute$$028432 000003091 650__ $$aLeukemia, Lymphocytic, Chronic, B-Cell$$028421 000003091 691__ $$aSchool of Medicine$$041369 000003091 692__ $$aDepartment of Cell, Developmental and Cancer Biology$$041399 000003091 7001_ $$aEdwards, David K.$$uOregon Health and Science University$$041354 000003091 7201_ $$aTyner, Jeffrey$$uOregon Health and Science University$$041354$$7Personal$$eMentor 000003091 7201_ $$aMcWeeney, Shannon$$uOregon Health and Science University$$041354$$7Personal$$eCo-Mentor 000003091 7201_ $$aLind, Evan$$uOregon Health and Science University$$041354$$7Personal$$eCommittee member 000003091 7201_ $$aSpellman, Paul$$uOregon Health and Science University$$041354$$7Personal$$eCommittee member 000003091 7201_ $$aWeinberg, Andrew$$uOregon Health and Science University$$041354$$7Personal$$eCommittee member 000003091 7201_ $$aKulesz-Martin, Molly$$uOregon Health and Science University$$041354$$7Personal$$eAdvisor 000003091 7201_ $$aCourtneidge, Sara$$uOregon Health and Science University$$041354$$7Personal$$eCommittee chair 000003091 8564_ $$9a13023d4-c3df-4241-b3bc-7a0e68ef9ac3$$s9208922$$uhttps://digitalcollections.ohsu.edu/record/3091/files/4046_etd.pdf$$ePublic$$262f049bc817702f480918050a9d21306$$31 000003091 905__ $$a/rest/prod/bn/99/97/05/bn9997056 000003091 909CO $$ooai:digitalcollections.ohsu.edu:3091$$pstudent-work 000003091 980__ $$aTheses and Dissertations
