Effective tumor cell abrogation via Venetoclax-mediated BCL-2 inhibition in KMT2A-rearranged acute B-lymphoblastic leukemia
1 Jul 2022
Abstract excerpt
Dysregulation of the intrinsic BCL-2 pathway-mediated apoptosis cascade is a common feature of hematological malignancies including acute B-lymphoblastic leukemia (B-ALL). The KMT2A-rearranged high-risk cytogenetic subtype is characterized by high expression of antiapoptotic protein BCL-2, likely due to the direct activating binding of KMT2A fusion proteins to the BCL2 gene. The BCL-2 inhibitor venetoclax (VEN)...
