Emerging roles of ADAM6 and PRSS1 as novel diagnostic/prognostic biomarkers for acute lymphoblastic and myeloid leukemia in adults.
Article in BMC cancer, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
What it found
Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.
The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.
The trial behind it
Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
backgroundAcute leukemia is an aggressive, highly heterogeneous hematological malignancy. A Disintegrin And Metalloproteinase Domain-6 (ADAM6), a member of ADAMs family, has emerged recently as a potential novel player in pediatric acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL), and its function remains largely elusive. Serine Protease-1 (PRSS1) is another emerging molecular mediator in cancer development. However, its role in acute leukemia has not been adequately studied. Interestingly, ADAM6 and PRSS1 were identified among the genes with the highest percentage of chromosomal changes in profiled B-cell precursor ALL patients. Both are emerging novel mediators of extracellular matrix (ECM) remodeling. Thus, this study was designed to investigate the roles of ADAM6 and PRSS1 in ALL and acute myeloid leukemia (AML) in adults.
methodsAdult patients with de novo ALL (n = 36), de novo AML (n = 40), and healthy control subjects (n = 55) were enrolled in this study. Circulating serum levels of ADAM6 and PRSS1 were measured by ELISA technique.
resultsSerum levels of ADAM6 were significantly higher in ALL and AML patients compared to healthy control subjects (208.7(178.3-337.3), 186.4(155.3-479.6), and 78.6(55.8-101.8) pg/ml, p < 0.0001), respectively. Whereas, serum levels of PRSS1 were found to be significantly lower in ALL and AML patients compared to healthy controls (175.1(153.7-232.2), 177.9(145.3-206.4), and 247.5(204.3-375.3) ng/ml, p < 0.0001), respectively. Both ADAM6 and PRSS1 exhibited a very good diagnostic potential by ROC analyses. ADAM6 levels significantly varied between CD22
conclusionThe results of the current study portray ADAM6 and PRSS1 as new potential diagnostic/prognostic biomarkers and potential therapeutic targets in adult acute leukemia patients, and shed light on their role as novel interrelated mediators possibly implicated in tumor micro-environment remodeling.
