1 The potential of clofarabine in MLL-rearranged infant acute lymphoblastic leukaemia. Clofarabine lysine methyltransferase 2A Homo sapiens
2 Here we explored the in vitro potential of the novel nucleoside analogue clofarabine for MLL-rearranged infant ALL. Clofarabine lysine methyltransferase 2A Homo sapiens
3 Compared with other nucleoside analogues, clofarabine effectively targeted primary MLL-rearranged infant ALL cells at the lowest concentrations, with median LC50 values of ~25 nM. Clofarabine lysine methyltransferase 2A Homo sapiens
4 Furthermore, at concentrations of 5-10nM clofarabine induced demethylation of the promoter region of the tumour suppressor gene FHIT (Fragile Histidine Triad), a gene typically hypermethylated in MLL-rearranged ALL. Clofarabine lysine methyltransferase 2A Homo sapiens
5 We conclude that clofarabine is an interesting candidate for further studies in MLL-rearranged ALL in infants. Clofarabine lysine methyltransferase 2A Homo sapiens
