          Abstract

          Acute myeloid leukemia (AML) arises from a complex sequence of biological and finely orchestrated events that are still poorly understood. Increasingly, epigenetic studies are providing exciting findings that may be exploited in promising and personalized cutting‐edge therapies. A more appropriate and broader screening of possible players in cancer could identify a master molecular mechanism in AML. Here, we build on our previously published study by evaluating a histone deacetylase ( HDAC) 2‐mediated miRNA regulatory network in U937 leukemic cells. Following a comparative miRNA profiling analysis in genetically and enzymatically HDAC2‐downregulated AML cells, we identified miR‐96‐5p and miR‐92a‐3p as potential regulators in AML etiopathology by targeting defined genes. Our findings support the potentially beneficial role of alternative physiopathological interventions.

          Induction of HDAC2 expression upon loss of APC in colorectal tumorigenesis.

          Inappropriate transcriptional repression involving histone deacetylases (HDACs) is a prominent cause for the development of leukemia. We now identify faulty expression of a specific mediator of transcriptional repression in a solid tumor. Loss of the adenomatosis polyposis coli (APC) tumor suppressor induces HDAC2 expression depending on the Wnt pathway and c-Myc. Increased HDAC2 expression is found in the majority of human colon cancer explants, as well as in intestinal mucosa and polyps of APC-deficient mice. HDAC2 is required for, and sufficient on its own to prevent, apoptosis of colonic cancer cells. Interference with HDAC2 by valproic acid largely diminishes adenoma formation in APC(min) mice. These findings point toward HDAC2 as a particularly relevant potential target in cancer therapy.

            Acute Myeloid Leukemia: A Concise Review

            Acute myeloid leukemia (AML) is a heterogeneous clonal disorder characterized by immature myeloid cell proliferation and bone marrow failure. Cytogenetics and mutation testing remain a critical prognostic tool for post induction treatment. Despite rapid advances in the field including new drug targets and increased understanding of the biology, AML treatment remains unchanged for the past three decades with the majority of patients eventually relapsing and dying of the disease. Allogenic transplant remains the best chance for cure for patients with intermediate or high risk disease. In this review, we discuss the landmark genetic studies that have improved outcome prediction and novel therapies.

              The prognostic and functional role of microRNAs in acute myeloid leukemia.

              Expression of microRNAs, a new class of noncoding RNAs that hybridize to target messenger RNA and regulate their translation into proteins, has been recently demonstrated to be altered in acute myeloid leukemia (AML). Distinctive patterns of increased expression and/or silencing of multiple microRNAs (microRNA signatures) have been associated with specific cytogenetic and molecular subsets of AML. Changes in the expression of several microRNAs altered in AML have been shown to have functional relevance in leukemogenesis, with some microRNAs acting as oncogenes and others as tumor suppressors. Both microRNA signatures and a single microRNA (ie, miR-181a) have been shown to supply prognostic information complementing that gained from cytogenetics, gene mutations, and altered gene expression. Moreover, it has been demonstrated experimentally that antileukemic effects can be achieved by modulating microRNA expression by pharmacologic agents and/or increasing low endogenous levels of microRNAs with tumor suppressor function by synthetic microRNA oligonucleotides, or down-regulating high endogenous levels of leukemogenic microRNAs by antisense oligonucleotides (antagomirs). Therefore, it is reasonable to predict the development of novel microRNA-based therapeutic approaches in AML. We review herein results of current studies analyzing changes of microRNA expression in AML and discuss their potential biologic, diagnostic, and prognostic relevance.
