Title:

DOT1L inhibition blocks multiple myeloma cell proliferation by suppressing IRF4-MYC signaling

Excerpt:
DOT1L expression levels were higher in monoclonal gammopathy of undetermined significance and smoldering multiple myeloma than in normal plasma cells. Treatment with a DOT1L inhibitor induced cell cycle arrest and apoptosis in myeloma cells, and strongly suppressed cell proliferation in vitro The anti-myeloma effect of DOT1L inhibition was confirmed in a mouse xenograft model.
