«This gives us a target to work on,» Young said at a press conference in New York this morning, alluding to the possibility that this basic research discovery may lead to a possible way to intervene in
the aberrant pathway and fix it, enabling people who suffer from the condition to adhere to a normal sleep schedule without the need for sleeping pills.

aberrant activation of the cAMP / CREB / CRTC signal circuit on these adaptive responses and how cooperative signaling with other
pathways promotes oncogenic processes in oral, head, and neck cancers.
A hallmark of the Notch
pathway is its gene dosage sensitivity, such that small differences in the amount of Notch activity can cause

This is in accordance with previous reports that decitabine and 5 - azacytidine produce a marked synergistic effect in combination with suberoylanilide hydroxamic acid and romidepsin in T - lymphoma cell lines by modulating cell cycle arrest and apoptosis.26, 27 As a mechanism of action, KMT2D mutations of B - lymphoma cells promote malignant outgrowth by perturbing methylation of H3K4 that affect the JAK - STAT, Toll - like receptor, or B - cell receptor
pathway.28, 29 Here our study indicated that dual treatment with chidamide and decitabine enhanced the interaction of KMT2D with the transcription factor PU.1, thereby inactivating the H3K4me - associated signaling
pathway MAPK, which is constitutively activated in T - cell lymphoma.13, 30,31 The transcription factor PU.1 is involved in the development of all hematopoietic lineages32 and regulates lymphoid cell growth and transformation.33
Aberrant PU.1 expression promotes acute myeloid leukemia and is related to the pathogenesis of multiple myeloma via the MAPK
pathway.34, 35 On the other hand, PU.1 is also shown to interact with chromatin remodeler and DNA methyltransferease to control hematopoiesis and suppress leukemia.36 Our data thus suggested that the combined action of chidamide and decitabine may interfere with the differentiation and / or viability of PTCL - NOS through a PU.1 - dependent gene expression program.
Novel treatments for cancer depend on the ability to modulate
aberrant cellular
pathways and effectively deliver therapeutics to the tumor.
