    Non-canonical H3K79me2-dependent pathways promote the survival of MLL-rearranged leukemia

    William F Richter, Rohan N Shah, Alexander J Ruthenburg
    FLT3-ITD/STAT5A signaling is more sensitive to Dot1L inhibition than the canonical MLL-fusion activated drivers of leukemogenesis, providing a potential therapeutic avenue for one of the most frequent lesions in leukemia.

    HOXA9 promotes MYC-mediated leukemogenesis by maintaining gene expression for multiple anti-apoptotic pathways

    Ryo Miyamoto, Akinori Kanai ... Akihiko Yokoyama
    HOXA9 is a transcriptional maintenance factor for anti-apoptotic genes that accelerate MYC-driven leukemia.

    E2F/Dp inactivation in fat body cells triggers systemic metabolic changes

    Maria Paula Zappia, Ana Guarner ... Maxim V Frolov
    The E2F/Dp transcription factors, which are key cell cycle regulators, can also mediate the regulation of carbohydrate metabolism in larva by controlling both systemic trehalose homeostasis and fat storage.

    An epigenetic switch regulates the ontogeny of AXL-positive/EGFR-TKi-resistant cells by modulating miR-335 expression

    Polona Safaric Tepes, Debjani Pal ... Raffaella Sordella
    Erlotinib-resistant AXL overexpressing cells are present in therapy-naive tumors, and expression of AXL in these cells is regulated through a stochastic mechanism centered on the epigenetic regulation of miR-335.

    Acid-base transporters and pH dynamics in human breast carcinomas predict proliferative activity, metastasis, and survival

    Nicolai J Toft, Trine V Axelsen ... Ebbe Boedtkjer
    Cellular acidity, capacity for net acid extrusion, and expression of acid-base transporters in human breast carcinomas independently predict variation in proliferative activity, lymph node metastasis, and patient survival.

    Transcription-associated topoisomerase 2α (TOP2A) activity is a major effector of cytotoxicity induced by G-quadruplex ligands

    Madeleine Bossaert, Angélique Pipier ... Dennis Gomez
    Topoisomerase 2α DNA breaks induced by G-quadruplex ligands are associated with a topological stress resulting from a transcription-dependent mechanism and counteracted by DNA topoisomerase 1 and factors promoting transcription elongation.

    Cavin3 released from caveolae interacts with BRCA1 to regulate the cellular stress response

    Kerrie-Ann McMahon, David A Stroud ... Robert G Parton
    Cavin3 associates with BRCA1 upon disassembly of caveolae in response to mechanical and non-mechanical stressors to influence DNA repair and apoptosis.

    Loss of MGA repression mediated by an atypical polycomb complex promotes tumor progression and invasiveness

    Haritha Mathsyaraja, Jonathen Catchpole ... Robert N Eisenman
    The MYC transcription factor network member MGA is a subunit of a non-canonical Polycomb complex, which, when inactivated, accelerates tumorigenesis in mouse models of cancer and proliferation in colon organoids.

    Exosome component 1 cleaves single-stranded DNA and sensitizes human kidney renal clear cell carcinoma cells to poly(ADP-ribose) polymerase inhibitor

    Qiaoling Liu, Qi Xiao ... Qingkai Yang
    EXOSC1 acts as an endogenous source of mutation inkidney renalclear cell carcinoma via cleaving single-stranded DNA.

    Evolution of fibroblasts in the lung metastatic microenvironment is driven by stage-specific transcriptional plasticity

    Ophir Shani, Yael Raz ... Neta Erez
    Metastases-associated fibroblasts show stage-dependent transcriptional plasticity and their rewiring is regulated by Myc.
