Several acute myeloid leukemia genetic sub-types converge on high expression of HOX genes, critical for their self-renewal. A new orally bioavailable Menin-MLL inhibitor (VTP-50469) appears to promote their differentiation through direct effects on the HOX cofactor MEIS1, paving the way for clinical trials.
几种急性髓系白血病的遗传亚型集中在 HOX 基因的高表达上,这些基因对于白血病的自我更新至关重要。一种新的口服生物利用度的 Menin-MLL 抑制剂(VTP-50469)似乎通过对 HOX 共激活因子 MEIS1 的直接作用来促进其分化,为临床试验铺平了道路。
