Decitabine conditioning improves NK cell maturation and limits CD8+ T cell terminal differentiation post-alloSCT in acute myeloid leukemia patients. (PubMed, Transplant Cell Ther)
Overall, addition of DAC to the conditioning regimen was associated with favorable immunomodulatory effects on NK and T cells post-alloSCT in AML patients. These findings suggest that DAC may enhance donor NK and T cell-mediated graft-versus-tumor responses supporting its further clinical evaluation as an adjuvant prior to alloSCT.

Pediatric T-Lymphoblastic Leukemia With Aberrant B-Cell Marker Expression: A Potential Role for Targeted Therapy. (PubMed, EJHaem)
While the patient failed high-risk T-LBLL induction therapy, blinatumomab followed by decitabine and venetoclax induced a morphologic remission. This case illustrated the importance of integrating MFC analysis with NGS data to provide individualized patient treatment. The authors have confirmed clinical trial registration is not needed for this submission.

Integrated transcriptomic and methylome analysis reveals retinoic acid pathway activation after decitabine treatment in EBV associated gastric cancer. (PubMed, bioRxiv)
Among the pathways disrupted, retinoic acid signaling is of particular interest, as retinoid receptors such as RARα and RARβ are frequently hypermethylated and repressed in EBVaGC. Our findings indicate that DNMT inhibition can partially reverse RA receptor silencing, supporting further investigation of DNMTi-RA combination strategies as a novel therapy for EBV + gastric cancer.

SEPT9 methylation as a diagnostic and predictive biomarker in the progression of ductal carcinoma in situ to invasive breast cancer. (PubMed, Sci Rep)
Additionally, decitabine treatment induced a reduction in SEPT9 methylation levels, which affects microtubule stability, suggesting a potential mechanistic link to tumor invasion. These findings indicate that SEPT9 methylation is a promising biomarker for distinguishing invasive breast cancer from DCIS and for identifying high-risk DCIS lesions with greater potential for progression.

Decitabine-mediated DNA methylation dynamics at pericentromeric satellite 2 repeats. (PubMed, BMC Cancer)
The hypomethylating agents (HMAs) 5-azacytidine (vidaza-AZA) and 5-aza-2'-deoxycytidine (decitabine-DAC) are part of the standard of care for the treatment of myelodysplastic syndromes (MDS) and acute myeloid leukemia (AML). In the intent of deciphering the regulation of DNMT3B expression, we found that DAC significantly increased the level of H3 acetylation at the DNMT3B promoter. These preliminary data shed light on DAC-mediated methylation dynamics at satellite 2 repeats, suggesting that satellite 2 remethylation could limit the genomic-destabilizing effects mediated by HMAs in tumor cells and, thus, the future evaluation of strategies to impair this methylation regain and to improve HMAs activity against tumor cells.

Acute Myeloid Leukemia Patients with High-Risk Karyotypes Benefit from Decitabine in Combination with Modified CAG. (PubMed, Biochem Genet)
This study aims to investigate the genetic characteristics of Acute Myeloid Leukemia (AML) patients and identify which patients derive the greatest benefit from a low-intensity regimen of decitabine combined with modified Cytarabine + Aclarubicin + Granulocyte Colony-Stimulating Factor (D-CAG) or intensive chemotherapy (IA regimen). Notably, older patients with complex or monosomal karyotypes exhibited longer median OS than their younger counterparts (P < 0.05). In conclusion, D-CAG may represent a more suitable therapeutic option for AML patients with high-risk karyotypic profiles.

DNA methyltransferase inhibitors in hematological malignancies and solid tumors. (PubMed, Int J Cancer)
The first-generation DNMTi azacitidine and decitabine have demonstrated substantial efficacy in the treatment of medically non-fit, older patients with acute myeloid leukemia (AML) or myelodysplastic syndrome (MDS) ineligible for intensive chemotherapy (IC), by virtue of their favorable safety profile...Additionally, this review assesses the therapeutic potential of DNMTi in the management of solid tumors. Through these discussions, we intend to enhance the understanding of the mechanistic and therapeutic implications of DNMTi across a diverse array of malignancies.
