Chronic inflammation is characterized by the production of reactive oxygen species (ROS), reactive nitrogen species, and inflammatory cytokines in myeloproliferative neoplasms (MPNs). In addition to these parameters, the aim of this study was to analyze the influence of ROS on the proliferation-related AKT/mTOR signaling pathway and the relationship with inflammatory factors in chronic myelogenous leukemia (CML). The activity of the antioxidant enzymes superoxide dismutase, glutathione peroxidase, and catalase is reduced in erythrocytes while levels of the oxidative stress markers malondialdehyde and protein carbonyl are elevated in the plasma of patients with CML. In addition, nitrogen species (nitrotyrosine, iNOS, eNOS) and inflammation markers (IL-6, NFkB, and S100 protein) were increased in granulocytes of CML while anti-inflammatory levels of IL-10 were decreased in plasma. CML granulocytes exhibited greater resistance to cytotoxic H<sub>2</sub>O<sub>2</sub> activity compared to healthy subjects. Moreover, phosphorylation of the apoptotic p53 protein was reduced while the activity of the AKT/mTOR signaling pathway was increased, which was further enhanced by oxidative stress (H<sub>2</sub>O<sub>2</sub>) in granulocytes and erythroleukemic K562 cells. IL-6 caused oxidative stress and DNA damage that was mitigated using antioxidant or inhibition of inflammatory NFkB transcription factor in K562 cells. We demonstrated the presence of oxidative and nitrosative stress in CML, with the former mediated by AKT/mTOR signaling and stimulated by inflammation.
