Mutant NPM1 Directly Regulates Oncogenic Transcription in Acute Myeloid Leukemia

Hannah J. Uckelmann et al.

Summary: The dysregulation of developmental and stem cell-associated genes is a common phenomenon during cancer development. Most patients with acute myeloid leukemia (AML) express high levels of HOXA cluster genes and MEIS1, with an NPM1 mutation (NPM1c) being common in these cases. This study reveals that NPM1c directly binds to specific chromatin targets, collaborates with the MLL1 complex, and directly regulates oncogenic gene expression in AML.

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.

MEN1 mutations mediate clinical resistance to menin inhibition

Florian Perner et al.

Summary: Chromatin-binding proteins are important regulators of cell state in haematopoiesis. Clinical trials have shown that the menin inhibitor revumenib can treat leukaemia with KMT2Ar or NPM1 mutations. However, acquired resistance to menin inhibition may be caused by somatic mutations in the MEN1 gene.

Intracellular Antibodies for Drug Discovery and as Drugs of the Future

T. H. Rabbitts

Summary: The application of antibodies in cells, particularly intracellular antibodies, has expanded over the years. These antibodies, including fragments, can be used to perturb protein activity within cells and elicit intracellular responses. They are not only research tools, but also have potential applications as drugs and templates for drug discovery. Their ability to discriminate between closely related proteins adds a new dimension to drug screening and development.

Prolonged XPO1 inhibition is essential for optimal antileukemic activity in NPM1-mutated AML

Giulia Pianigiani et al.

Summary: NPM1 is the most frequently mutated gene in adults with acute myeloid leukemia (AML). The interaction between mutant NPM1 (NPM1c) and exportin-1 (XPO1) causes aberrant cytoplasmic dislocation of NPM1c and promotes high expression of homeobox (HOX) genes. However, the current dosing frequency and efficacy of drugs against NPM1-mutated AML are limited. The second-generation XPO1 inhibitor eltanexor, with a higher dosing frequency, can induce sustained downregulation of HOX genes, induce terminal AML differentiation, and prolong the survival of patients, providing important information for the design of clinical trials.

Therapeutic implications of menin inhibition in acute leukemias

Ghayas C. Issa et al.

Summary: Menin inhibitors are novel targeted agents currently being developed for the treatment of genetically defined subsets of acute leukemia, showing promising early results in specific leukemia types, such as NPM1 mutations. These inhibitors target various gene regulatory roles of menin in leukemogenesis and are being investigated in clinical studies for relapsed acute leukemias.
