Oncogenic role of the DNMT1 in diffuse large B-cell lymphomas [BSRR]
Diffuse large B-cell lymphoma (DLBCL), the most common aggressive non-Hodgkin lymphoma, demonstrates significant molecular heterogeneity and suboptimal clinical outcomes. Notably, 10%-15% of patients develop primary refractory disease following first-line R-CHOP (rituximab, cyclophosphamide, doxorubicin, vincristine, prednisone) regimen. While epigenetic modulators have emerged as potential therapeutic options for these high-risk cases, clinical application of broad-spectrum DNA methyltransferase inhibitors such as decitabine and azacitidine remains limited by their multi-target toxicity profiles. In this study, we demonstrated that DNA methyltransferase 1 (DNMT1) plays a critical oncogenic role in DLBCL pathogenesis. Overall design: Bisulfite-Seq (reduced representation) were performed in SU-DHL-8 cell treated with DMSO or GSK3685032
