Autophagy degrades immunogenic endogenous retroelements induced by 5-azacytidine in acute myeloid leukemia
16 Apr 2024
Abstract excerpt
Abstract The hypomethylating agent 5-azacytidine (AZA) is the first-line treatment for AML patients unfit for intensive chemotherapy. The effect of AZA results in part from T-cell cytotoxic responses against MHC-I-associated peptides (MAPs) deriving from hypermethylated genomic regions such as cancer-testis antigens (CTAs), or endogenous retroelements (EREs). However, evidence supporting higher ERE MAPs...
