Acute Myeloid

Acute myeloid leukemia (AML) is a heterogeneous disease that is characterized by distinct cytogenetic or genetic abnormalities. Recent discoveries in cancer epigenetics demonstrated a critical role of epigenetic dysregulation in AML pathogenesis. Unlike genetic alterations, the reversible nature of epigenetic modifications is therapeutically attractive in cancer therapy. DNA methylation is an epigenetic modification that regulates gene expression and plays a pivotal role in mammalian development including hematopoiesis. DNA methyltransferases (DNMTs) and Ten-eleven-translocation (TET) dioxygenases are responsible for the dynamics of DNA methylation. Genetic alterations of DNMTs or TETs disrupt normal hematopoiesis and subsequently result in hematological malignancies. Emerging evidence reveals that the dysregulation of DNA methylation is a key event for AML initiation and progression. Importantly, aberrant DNA methylation is regarded as a hallmark of AML, which is heralded as a powerful epigenetic marker in early diagnosis, prognostic prediction, and therapeutic decision-making. In this review, we summarize the current knowledge of DNA methylation in normal hematopoiesis and AML pathogenesis. We also discuss the clinical implications of DNA methylation and the current therapeutic strategies of targeting DNA methylation in AML therapy.

AbstractAberrant DNA methylation is often related to the diagnosis, prognosis, and therapeutic response of acute myeloid leukemia (AML); however, relevant studies on the relationship between bone marrow myeloblast percentage and the DNA methylation level in AML have not been reported. We evaluated the effects of AML blast percentage on DNA methylation level using the MethylC-capture sequencing (MCC-Seq) approach based on next-generation sequencing (NGS) and found that the methylation level of both genome-wide and promoter regions significantly increased when the percentage of AML blasts reached ≥ 40%, indicating that an accurate DNA methylation level in cancer cells can be obtained when the bone marrow samples of AML patients have more than 40% myeloblasts.

Abstract Background Obesity confers enhanced risk for multiple diseases including cancer. The DNA methylation alterations in obesity-related genes have been implicated in several human solid tumors. However, the underlying role and clinical implication of DNA methylation of obesity-related genes in acute myeloid leukemia (AML) has yet to be elucidated. Results In the discovery stage, we identified that DNA methylation-associated LEP expression was correlated with prognosis among obesity-related genes from the databases of The Cancer Genome Atlas. In the validation stage, we verified that LEP hypermethylation was a frequent event in AML by both targeted bisulfite sequencing and real-time quantitative methylation-specific PCR. Moreover, LEP hypermethylation, correlated with reduced LEP expression, was found to be associated with higher bone marrow blasts, lower platelets, and lower complete remission (CR) rate in AML. Importantly, survival analysis showed that LEP hypermethylation was significantly associated with shorter overall survival (OS) in AML. Moreover, multivariate analysis disclosed that LEP hypermethylation was an independent risk factor affecting CR and OS among non-M3 AML. By clinical and bioinformatics analysis, LEP may be also regulated by miR-517a/b expression in AML. Conclusions Our findings indicated that the obesity-related gene LEP methylation is associated with LEP inactivation, and acts as an independent prognostic predictor in AML.
