TL;DR

Functional analysis demonstrates that DHX15R222G cooperates with AML1-ETO fusion protein to enhance AML leukemia stem cell (LSC) activity and promote resistance to standard chemotherapy, and underscores the pivotal role of oncogenic DHX15 mutations in regulating AML LSC activity.

ARID1B mutations promote immune evasion in acute myeloid leukemia through upregulating VISTA expression.

Acute myeloid leukemia (AML) is defined by epigenetic heterogeneity, and recurrent mutations in chromatin remodelers are associated with a poor prognosis. Whether these mutations drive treatment resistance through remodeling of the tumor immune microenvironment remains unclear. ARID1B, a recurrently mutated SWI/SNF sub...

AML1-ETO hijacks a distal enhancer of NAT10 to reprogram glutathione metabolism and sustain leukemia stem cell stemness.

Chromosomal translocations produce oncogenic fusion proteins such as AML1-ETO, which predominantly occupy gene promoters to induce transcriptional reprogramming in leukemia stem cells (LSCs), consequently driving the pathogenesis of t(8;21) acute myeloid leukemia (AML). However, whether AML1-ETO is recruited to additio...

A PTBP1–CDC42 splicing axis regulates leukemia growth and venetoclax sensitivity in acute myeloid leukemia

PTBP1 is established as a critical regulator of AML cell fitness and a clinically actionable therapeutic combination that exploits AML dependency on PTBP1-CDC42 signaling to enhance the efficacy of venetoclax-based regimens is identified.

Transcription factor 12 promotes acute myeloid leukemia cell survival by regulating mitochondrial function and ROS.

Acute myeloid leukemia (AML) cells rely heavily on mitochondrial oxidative phosphorylation (OXPHOS) for energy, making mitochondrial function a promising therapeutic target. TCF12, a transcription factor belonging to the basic helix-loop-helix (bHLH) family, has been implicated in various cancers and is highly expresse...

Transcriptional Control as a Therapeutic Strategy in Acute Myeloid Leukemia

: Acute myeloid leukemia (AML) is driven by dysregulated transcription factors (TFs) that disrupt hematopoietic differentiation, promote leukemic self-renewal, and confer therapy resistance. Key TFs including C/EBP α , PU.1, RUNX1, GATA2, EVI1, PML-RAR α fusion protein, p53, c-Myc and ERG are altered through mutations,...
