In recent years, one of the most successful advances in treating acute myeloid leukaemia (AML) has been the combination of the B-cell lymphoma 2 (BCL-2) inhibitor venetoclax with hypomethylating agents (decitabine or azacytidine).

DNA methylation at tobacco telomeric sequences [PDF]
Majerová et al. (Plant Mol Biol, 2011) have recently reported that a considerable fraction of cytosines at tobacco telomeres is methylated. Although the data presented in this report indicate that tobacco telomeric sequences undergo certain levels of DNA

Hypomethylating agents after allogeneic blood stem cell transplantation [PDF]
Allogeneic blood stem cell transplantation (allo-SCT) is a potentially curative treatment for patients with myeloid malignancies such as acute myeloid leukemia (AML) and myelodysplastic syndromes (MDS), but relapse remains the major cause of treatment failure. So far, therapeutic options for patients with AML or MDS who relapse after allo-SCT generally

Decitabine impact on the endocytosis regulator RhoA, the folate carriers RFC1 and FOLR1, and the glucose transporter GLUT4 in human tumors. [PDF]
BackgroundIn 31 solid tumor patients treated with the demethylating agent decitabine, we performed tumor biopsies before and after the first cycle of decitabine and used immunohistochemistry (IHC) to assess whether decitabine increased expression of ...

Oral hypomethylating agents: beyond convenience in MDS
AbstractOral hypomethylating agents (HMAs) represent a substantial potential boon for patients with myelodysplastic syndrome (MDS) who have previously required between 5 and 7 visits per month to an infusion clinic to receive therapy. For patients who respond to treatment, ongoing monthly maintenance visits represent a considerable burden to quality of

Decitabine in the treatment of acute myeloid leukemia in elderly patients [PDF]
Priya Malik, Amanda F CashenWashington University School of Medicine, St Louis, MO, USAAbstract: The majority of patients with acute myeloid leukemia (AML) are elderly and have a poor prognosis despite induction therapy. Decitabine, a DNA-hypomethylating

Hypomethylating agents reactivate FOXO3A in acute myeloid leukemia [PDF]
The deregulation of the DNA damage response (DDR) can contribute to leukemogenesis and favor the progression from myelodysplastic syndrome (MDS) to acute myeloid leukemia (AML). Since hypomethylating agent, notably azacitidine, constitute an efficient therapy for patients with high-risk MDS, we assessed whether such compounds can activate the DDR in ...

An unusual response to 5‐azacitidine by a patient with chronic myelomonocytic leukemia
Key Clinical Message Hypomethylating agents may be useful in some but not all cases of myelodysplastic syndromes. In some versions of these conditions, this treatment may yield deleterious results.
