“…Importantly, CRYBMIM achieved significantly improved, logarithmic suppression of growth and survival of most AML cell lines tested, as compared to MYBMIM and CREBMIM ( Figure 2F). For example, whereas MYBMIM induced nearly 100-fold suppression of growth of MV411 cells after six days of treatment in agreement with prior studies (Ramaswamy et al, 2018), CRYBMIM achieved more than 1,000-fold suppression compared to control (p = 8.6e-3; Figure 2F), consistent with its improved biochemical affinity ( Figure 1D). This improved activity of CRYBMIM spanned diverse MLL-rearranged and non-MLL-rearranged AML subtypes, AML1-ETO translocated, PML-RARA-translocated, DNMT3A-mutant, NPM1c-mutant, TP53-mutant, MYCamplified, and WT1-mutant cell lines, with the exception of erythroblastic BCR-ABL1-translocated K562 cells (10 of 11 cell lines tested; Figure 2F and Table S2).…”
