Cancer cells display DNA hypermethylation at specific CpG islands in comparison to their normal healthy counterparts, but the mechanism that drives this so-called CpG island methylator phenotype (CIMP) remains poorly understood. Here, we show that CpG island methylation in human T-cell acute lymphoblastic leukemia (T-ALL) mainly occurs at promoters of Polycomb Repressor Complex 2 (PRC2) target genes that are not expressed in normal or malignant T-cells and which display a reciprocal association with H3K27me3 binding.
In T-cell acute lymphoblastic leukemia (T-ALL) cytogenetic alterations juxtapose the LIM-domain-only-2 gene (LMO2) with T-cell receptor loci.
Glucocorticoids (GCs) are among the most important drugs for the treatment of acute lymphoblastic leukaemia (ALL).

This study contributes to our understanding of the genetic diversity of NMC, an important step towards finding therapeutic targets for a disease that is...
Acute Lymphoblastic Leukemia (ALL) occurring in the first year of life is rare.
The hallmarks of many haematological malignancies and solid tumours are chromosomal translocations, which may lead to gene fusions.
In vitro liver models combined with metabolomics approaches offer promising alternatives to animal testing in toxicology. In this study, we investigated concentration-dependent effects of hydrogen peroxide on the intra- and extracellular metabolome of HepG2 cells using 1H Nuclear Magnetic Resonance spectroscopy.
