In this study, McKeown and colleagues carried out a genome-wide characterization and stratification of the enhancer landscape in acute myeloid leukemia (AML). The authors' analysis led to the discovery of a novel superenhancer found in a subset of patients with AML, rendering these leukemia cells highly sensitive to SY-1425, a highly potent RARA agonist able to induce myeloid differentiation in these high-expressing RARA AML subtypes. .
在这项研究中,McKeown 及其同事对急性髓系白血病 (AML) 中的增强子景观进行了全基因组特征描述和分层。作者的分析导致发现了一种新型超级增强子,存在于 AML 患者亚群中,使这些白血病细胞对 SY-1425 高度敏感,SY-1425 是一种高效的 RARA 激动剂,能够诱导这些高表达 RARA AML 亚型的髓样分化。
