HIF1A and B-cell chronic lymphocytic leukemia: Gene expression of mTOR and HIF-1α were assessed using qRT-PCR. Resiquimod significantly decreased mTOR and HIF-1α gene expression in both CLL (p < 0.001and p < 0.001, respectively) and Normal B cells (p = 0.004 and p = 0.001, respectively). Resiquimod may reprogram immunometabolism of malignant B-CLL cells via down-regulation of key glycolytic metabolic actors, mTOR and HIF-1α genes.
