---|---|---|---|---|
Decitabine | Dacogen | 5-aza-2-deoxycytidine | DNMT inhibitor (Pan) 5 | Dacogen (decitabine) is cytidine analog that incorporates into DNA and forms covalent bonds with DNA methyltransferases (DNMTs), resulting in decreased DNMT activity and hypomethylation, and potentially leading to reduced tumor growth (PMID: 28159832, PMID: 25130173). Dacogen (decitabine) is FDA approved for use in patients with myelodysplastic syndromes (FDA.gov). |
Tretinoin | Aberel|Aknoten|Avita|Renova|Retin-A|all-trans retinoic acid|Vitamin A Acid|ATRA | Tretinoin is a form of retinoic acid, which binds to retinoic acid receptors and activates downstream signaling, potentially inducing cell differentiation and subsequently, apoptosis (PMID: 11704842). Tretinoin is FDA approved for patients with acute promyelocytic leukemia harboring PML-RARA (FDA.gov). |

---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
KMT2A - MLLT3 | acute myeloid leukemia | sensitive | Decitabine + Tretinoin | Preclinical - Cell culture | Actionable | In a preclinical study, combination of Tretinoin and Dacogen (decitabine) in acute myeloid leukemia cells harboring KMT2A-MLLT3 resulted in significant growth inhibition, and greatly induced myeloid differentiation as indicated by CD11b and C/EBPalpha expression, and downregulation of c-Myc, and in a murine cell model, resulted in greater upregulation of C/EBPalpha and growth inhibition, and increased apoptosis compared to Tretinoin alone in culture (PMID: 23063977). | 23063977 |
KMT2A - AFF4 | leukemia | no benefit | Decitabine + Tretinoin | Preclinical - Cell culture | Actionable | In a preclinical study, combination treatment of Tretinoin and Dacogen (decitabine) in murine leukemic cells expressing a KMT2A-AFF4 fusion did not result in upregulation of Mac-1 and C/EBPalpha and resulted in similar growth compared to untreated cells in culture (PMID: 23063977). | 23063977 |
KMT2A - AFF1 | acute myeloid leukemia | predicted - sensitive | Decitabine + Tretinoin | Preclinical - Cell culture | Actionable | In a preclinical study, combination treatment of Tretinoin and Dacogen (decitabine) resulted in growth inhibition in acute myeloid leukemia cells harboring a KMT2A-AFF1 fusion in cell culture (PMID: 23063977). | 23063977 |
