One such hematologic malignancy, B-cell acute lymphoblastic leukemia (B-ALL), may be highly dependent on epigenetic regulation for leukemia development and maintenance, and thus sensitive to small-molecule inhibitors that target epigenetic mechanisms.

Experimental Design: A panel of B-ALL cell lines was tested for sensitivity to HDACi with varying isoform sensitivity.
