Purpose: Asparaginase (ASN) is a critical component of pediatric ALL protocols. Until recently, ASN was available in three formulations: native Escherichia coli, PEGylated E. coli (PEG), and Erwinase, with native E.

METTL3 is the RNA methyltransferase predominantly responsible for the addition of N-methyladenosine (mA), the most abundant modification to mRNA. The prevalence of mA and the activity and expression of METTL3 have been linked to the appearance and progression of acute myeloid leukemia (AML), thereby making METTL3 an attractive target for cancer therapeutics. We report herein the discovery and optimization of small-molecule inhibitors of METTL3, culminating in the selection of as an proof-of-concept compound.

The incidence of acute myeloid leukemia (AML) is increasing annually, and timely diagnostic and treatments can substantially improve patient survival rates. AML typing traditionally relies on manual microscopy for classifying and counting myeloid cells, which is time-consuming, laborious, and subjective. Therefore, developing a reliable automated model for myeloid cell classification is imperative.

Although nucleoporin 98 (NUP98) fusion oncogenes often drive aggressive pediatric leukemia by altering chromatin structure and expression of HOX genes, underlying mechanisms remain elusive. Here, we report that a Hoxb-associated lncRNA HoxBlinc was aberrantly activated in NUP98-PHF23 fusion-driven leukemias. HoxBlinc chromatin occupancies led to elevated MLL1 recruitment and aberrant homeotic topologically associated domains (TADs) that enhanced chromatin accessibilities and activated homeotic/hematopoietic oncogenes.
