Abstract
Our study highlights the discovery of recurrent copy number alterations in noncoding regions, specifically blood enhancer cluster (BENC-CNA), in B-precursor acute lymphoblastic leukemia (BCP-ALL) cell lines. We demonstrate that BENC-CNA acts as a super-enhancer, driving MYC expression and possibly contributing to the immortalization and proliferative advantage of BCP-ALL cells in vitro.
期刊介绍:
Cancer Science (formerly Japanese Journal of Cancer Research) is a monthly publication of the Japanese Cancer Association. First published in 1907, the Journal continues to publish original articles, editorials, and letters to the editor, describing original research in the fields of basic, translational and clinical cancer research. The Journal also accepts reports and case reports.
Cancer Science aims to present highly significant and timely findings that have a significant clinical impact on oncologists or that may alter the disease concept of a tumor. The Journal will not publish case reports that describe a rare tumor or condition without new findings to be added to previous reports; combination of different tumors without new suggestive findings for oncological research; remarkable effect of already known treatments without suggestive data to explain the exceptional result. Review articles may also be published.
