    Subtype-Specific 3D Genome Alteration in Acute Myeloid Leukemia

    Researchers used Hi-C and whole-genome sequencing to analyze 25 samples from patients with AML and seven samples from healthy donors to understand the extent to which mutations in AML drove alterations in chromatin 3D structure and contributed to myeloid transformation.

    Targeting UHRF1-SAP30-MXD4 Axis for Leukemia Initiating Cell Eradication in Myeloid Leukemia

    Scientists reported that Ubiquitin-like containing PHD Ring Finger 1 (UHRF1), an epigenetic regulator that recruits DNMT1 to methylate DNA, was highly expressed in AML and predicted poor prognosis.

    The N6-Methyladenosine Methyltransferase METTL16 Enables Erythropoiesis through Safeguarding Genome Integrity

    Investigators discovered that an RNA N6-methyladenosine methyltransferase, METTL16, played an essential role in proper erythropoiesis by safeguarding genome integrity via the control of DNA-repair-related genes.

    Identification and Characterization of Innate Lymphoid Cells Generated from Pluripotent Stem Cells

    The authors documented that innate lymphoid cells existed in Rag2−/−Il2rg−/− recipients engrafted with pluripotent stem cell-derived hematopoietic progenitors guided by Runx1 and Hoxa9 expression.

    Combinatorial Gene Targeting in Primary Human Hematopoietic Stem and Progenitor Cells

    To establish a paradigm for multiplexed gene editing in primary human cord blood-derived hematopoietic stem and progenitor cells, scientists used co-delivery of lentiviral sgRNA vectors, together with Cas9 mRNA, to simultaneously edit two genetic loci.

    Targeted Activation of GPER Enhances the Efficacy of Venetoclax by Boosting Leukemic Pyroptosis and CD8+ T Cell Immune Function in Acute Myeloid Leukemia

    Investigators demonstrated that pharmacological activation of G protein-coupled estrogen receptor by G-1 combined with Venetoclax resulted in synergistic antileukemic activity in vitro and in vivo.

    RAB3D/MDM2/β-Catenin/C-MYC Axis Exacerbates the Malignant Behaviors of Acute Myeloid Leukemia Cells In Vitro and In Vivo

    The loss- and gain-of-function experiments demonstrated that RAB3D promoted growth, enhanced colony formation, and accelerated G1/S transition of U937, THP-1, and KG-1 in AML cells.

    Modulation of the Activity of Histone Lysine Methyltransferases and Demethylases by Curcumin Analog in Leukemia Cells

    Scientists compared the effect of dimethoxycurcumin and curcumin on a variety of histone posttranslational modifications and on the activity of histone lysine methyltransferase and demethylase enzymes that targeted the H3K4, H3K9, and H3K27 epigenetic marks in leukemia cells.

    Prognostic Impact of ASXL1 Mutations in Chronic Phase Chronic Myeloid Leukemia

    To determine how mutations other than those in the ABL1 gene affect chronic myeloid leukemia (CML) prognosis, researchers identified 115 patients with CML where targeted next-generation sequencing of genes recurrently mutated in myeloid leukemias was performed.
