The bone marrow microenvironment (BMM) plays a key role in leukemia progression, but its molecular complexity in pre-B cell acute lymphoblastic leukemia (B-ALL), the most common cancer in children, remains poorly understood. To gain further insight, we used single-cell RNA sequencing to characterize the kinetics of the murine BMM during B-ALL progression.
Cancer cells display DNA hypermethylation at specific CpG islands in comparison to their normal healthy counterparts, but the mechanism that drives this so-called CpG island methylator phenotype (CIMP) remains poorly understood. Here, we show that CpG island methylation in human T-cell acute lymphoblastic leukemia (T-ALL) mainly occurs at promoters of Polycomb Repressor Complex 2 (PRC2) target genes that are not expressed in normal or malignant T-cells and which display a reciprocal association with H3K27me3 binding.
Our data emphasize the heterogeneity of NMC and highlights genetic aberrations that could be explored to improve therapeutic strategies.
Mental health benefits of a pedometer-based exercise intervention for parents of children with cancer were identified.
All children who are receiving therapy for cancer should receive a single dose of PCV13 as soon as possible after diagnosis, regardless of prior PCV exposure.
Functional role of CTGF in altering disease progression in a lymphoid malignancy
Biological changes associated with T-ALL relapse and resistance are stochastic and highly individual
Identified CCI-007 as a novel small molecule that displays rapid toxicity towards a subset of MLL-r, CALM-AF10 and SET-NUP214 leukemia cell lines
We report a term male with congenital acute erythroleukemia who achieved sustained remission with low-dose cytosine arabinoside alone
Present a valuable resource for drug discovery and have identified ROM as a promising therapeutic for MLL-rearranged iALL
