Inhibition of nucleoporin 214 depletes leukemia stem cells by promoting heme catabolism and lipid peroxidation.
Chromosomal translocations involving nucleoporin (NUP) loci, such as NUP98 and NUP214, are recurrent in acute myeloid leukemia (AML). However, the intrinsic functions of wild-type nucleoporins in AML remain largely unknown. By screening the NUP family, we identified NUP214 as a frequently overexpressed gene and a criti...
