Abstract SRSF2 mutations occur in 5–15% of acute myeloid leukemia (AML) and ~15% of myelodysplastic neoplasms (MDS), are enriched in elderly/secondary AML, and lack mutation-directed therapy. We aimed to identify vulnerabilities in MDS/AML with SRSF2 mutations. Ex vivo drug-sensitivity testing of bone marrow cells from AML patients and controls showed that SRSF2-mutant cells are sensitive to CHK1 and WEE1 inhibitors.
Abstract Background Acute myeloid leukemia (AML) progresses by the accumulation of somatic mutations and clonal expansion of pre-leukemic cells. Patients may respond to initial therapy, but often relapse, underscoring an evolving disease. Next generation sequencing technologies are being applied to AML for risk stratification and monitoring treatment response.
Abstract Acute myeloid leukemia (AML) with co-occurring NUP98-NSD1 and FLT3-ITD is associated with unfavorable prognosis and represents a particularly challenging treatment group. To identify novel effective therapies for this AML subtype, we screened patient cells and engineered cell models with over 300 compounds.
