The menin inhibitor revumenib in KMT2A-rearranged or NPM1-mutant leukaemia

Ghayas C. Issa et al.

Summary: Targeting critical epigenetic regulators can reverse aberrant transcription in cancer and restore normal tissue function. In this study, we investigated the first-in-human phase 1 clinical trial of revumenib, a potent and selective oral inhibitor of the menin-KMT2A interaction, in patients with relapsed or refractory acute leukaemia. The therapy was associated with a low frequency of adverse events and a significant rate of complete or partial remission in the efficacy analysis population.

Cell Cycle-Dependent Transcription: The Cyclin Dependent Kinase Cdk1 Is a Direct Regulator of Basal Transcription Machineries

Jorrit M. Enserink et al.

Summary: Cdk1 is a master regulator of the cell cycle, controlling progression through different phases. It also directly regulates RNA polymerase activity, which is important for protein synthesis and meeting cellular demands. This regulation promotes cell cycle entry.

MBD3 promotes hepatocellular carcinoma progression and metastasis through negative regulation of tumour suppressor TFPI2

Weiwei Yan et al.

Summary: This study reveals that Methyl-CpG binding domain protein 3 (MBD3) is significantly overexpressed in hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) and is associated with advanced tumor stage and poor prognosis. MBD3 promotes the growth, angiogenesis, and metastasis of HCC cells by inhibiting the tumor suppressor tissue factor pathway inhibitor 2 (TFPI2). Mechanistically, MBD3 can inhibit the transcription of TFPI2 via the Nucleosome Remodeling and Deacetylase (NuRD) complex-mediated deacetylation, leading to the reactivation of matrix metalloproteinases (MMPs) and PI3K/AKT signaling pathway, thus contributing to the progression and metastasis of HCC.

New kinase and HDAC hybrid inhibitors: recent advances and perspectives

Karoline Waitman et al.

Summary: Cancer resistance to treatments is a major challenge and the development of new therapeutic strategies is needed. Inhibitors that simultaneously target kinases and HDAC enzymes have been explored using various approaches, including specific compounds and heterocycle scaffolds. Advances have also been made in developing novel compounds to inhibit other types of kinases and HDAC enzymes.

FLT3 inhibitor lestaurtinib plus chemotherapy for newly diagnosed KMT2A-rearranged infant acute lymphoblastic leukemia: Children's Oncology Group trial AALL0631

Patrick A. Brown et al.

Summary: Adding lestaurtinib did not improve event-free survival overall for infants with KMT2A-rearranged acute lymphoblastic leukemia, but patients who achieved potent FLT3 inhibition and had leukemia blasts sensitive to FLT3 inhibition ex vivo did benefit from the addition of lestaurtinib. Patient selection and pharmacodynamics-guided dose escalation may enhance the efficacy of FLT3 inhibition for this subtype of infant ALL.

ARID4B Knockdown Suppresses PI3K/AKT Signaling and Induces Apoptosis in Human Glioma Cells

Siou-Min Luo et al.

Summary: The study showed higher expression of ARID4B in WHO grade IV tumors, and knocking down ARID4B suppressed glioma cell proliferation and induced apoptosis, indicating that ARID4B may act as an oncogene in human gliomas.

Differentiation of fetal hematopoietic stem cells requires ARID4B to restrict autocrine KITLG/KIT-Src signaling

In-Chi Young et al.

Summary: ARID4B interferes with KITLG/KIT signaling, promoting HSC differentiation instead of self-renewal. ARID4B-deficient HSCs self-express KITLG and overexpress KIT, leading to differentiation. Inhibition of Src family kinases rescues the HSC differentiation defect caused by ARID4B loss.

Arid4b alters cell cycle and cell death dynamics during mouse embryonic stem cell differentiation

Gozde Guven et al.

Summary: Cell division and death are crucial in embryonic development, with Arid4b playing a role in regulating cell cycle alterations during differentiation. Arid4b-deficient differentiating cells exhibit reduced proliferative capacity and a cell cycle profile resembling that of embryonic stem cells rather than differentiating cells.
