Targeting the lncRNA SAMMSON Reveals Metabolic Vulnerability in Melanoma.

abstract：:Adaptive resistance to PI3K-mTOR inhibitors potentially limits the clinical antitumor activities of these agents. In this issue of Cancer Cell, Britschgi and coworkers show that certain tumors acquire resistance to PI3K-mTOR inhibitors through activation of a JAK2-dependent pathway, leading to interleukin-8 secretion....

abstract：:Homeotic (HOX) genes are dysregulated in multiple malignancies, including several AML subtypes. We demonstrate that H3K79 dimethylation (H3K79me2) is converted to monomethylation (H3K79me1) at HOX loci as hematopoietic cells mature, thus coinciding with a decrease in HOX gene expression. We show that H3K79 methyltrans...
