SETDB1 mediated histone H3 lysine 9 methylation suppresses MLL-fusion target expression and leukemic transformation
26 Sept 2019
Abstract excerpt
Epigenetic regulators play a critical role in normal and malignant hematopoiesis. Deregulation, including epigenetic deregulation, of the HOXA gene cluster drives transformation of about 50% of acute myeloid leukemia. We recently showed that the Histone 3 Lysine 9 methyltransferase SETDB1 negatively regulates the expression of the pro-leukemic genes Hoxa9 and its cofactor Meis1 through deposition of promoter H3K9...
