The interaction between menin and oncogenic mixed lineage leukemia (MLL) fusion proteins is required for leukemic transformation and may represent a therapeutic opportunity. In this issue of Cancer Cell, Borkin and colleagues describe the development of highly potent small-molecule inhibitors of this interaction that reverse the leukemic phenotype and prolong survival in murine models of MLL-rearranged leukemia.
Menin 与致癌性混合谱系白血病(MLL)融合蛋白之间的相互作用是白血病转化所必需的,这可能代表了一个治疗机会。在本期《癌细胞》杂志中,Borkin 及其同事描述了这种相互作用的高活性小分子抑制剂的开发,这些抑制剂可逆转白血病表型,并延长 MLL 重排白血病的小鼠模型的生存时间。
