Short hairpin RNA screen reveals bromodomain proteins as novel targets in acute myeloid leukemia.

Abstract:

:Targeting chromatin regulators for the treatment of malignancies has shown great promise, but also revealed significant challenges. By employing an elegant shRNA screen and a selective pharmacological inhibitor, a recent study published in Nature establishes the bromodomain protein Brd4 as novel target in acute myeloid leukemia (AML).

  • Smoothened variants explain the majority of drug resistance in basal cell carcinoma.

    abstract::Advanced basal cell carcinomas (BCCs) frequently acquire resistance to Smoothened (SMO) inhibitors through unknown mechanisms. Here we identify SMO mutations in 50% (22 of 44) of resistant BCCs and show that these mutations maintain Hedgehog signaling in the presence of SMO inhibitors. Alterations include four ligand ...
