ENL-YEATS is an epigenetic reader that sustains transcriptional programs essential for AML, whereas FLT3 mutations, present in approximately 30% of patients, drive malignant proliferation. Dual inhibition of ENL-YEATS and FLT3 may therefore more effectively disrupt complementary drivers of leukemogenesis than FLT3 targeting alone.
C-C chemokine receptor-like 2 (CCRL2) is a chemokine receptor involved in inflammation activation and is usually expressed in differentiated myeloid cells. CCRL2 is overexpressed in acute erythroid leukemia (AEL) cells compared to healthy cells. Antibody-drug conjugates (ADCs) against CCRL2 in AEL were developed and tested in the preclinical setting.
The protease mucosa-associated lymphoid tissue lymphoma translocation 1 (MALT1) is a signaling protein with both molecular scaffolding and protease activity involved in lymphocyte activation. MALT1 is considered a therapeutic target for chronic lymphocytic leukemia (CLL) in patients who develop resistance to Bruton tyrosine kinase (BTK) inhibitors.
Recent research has established that Insulin-like Growth Factor 2 mRNA Binding Protein 3 (IGF2BP3) RNA-binding protein is involved in leukemia development, particularly in the KMT2A-translocated B-acute lymphoblastic leukemia (B-ALL) subtype.
Cancer immunotherapies are highly effective treatments for treating hematological malignancies, but usually tied to systemic toxicity, including cytokine release syndrome (CRS).
