Abstract Acquired non-genetic resistance mechanisms to existing therapies contribute to poor outcomes for acute myeloid leukemia (AML) patients, and the inability to target leukemic stem cells (LSCs) can lead to relapse. To overcome these challenges, we tested whether LSCs have dependencies on PI3- kinase (PI3K). We found that LSCs are susceptible to isoform-selective targeting of PI3K and are particularly dependent on the p110 alpha isoform of PI3K.
