Abstract
Acute myeloid leukemia (AML) patients with DNA methyltransferase 3A (DNMT3A) mutation display poor prognosis, and targeted therapy is not available currently. Our previous study identified increased expression of Exportin1 (XPO1) in DNMT3AR882H AML patients. Therefore, we further investigated the therapeutic effect of XPO1 inhibition on DNMT3AR882H AML. Three types of DNMT3AR882H AML cell lines were generated, and XPO1 was significantly upregulated in all DNMT3AR882H cells compared with the wild-type (WT) cells. The XPO1 inhibitor selinexor displayed higher potential in the inhibition of proliferation, promotion of apoptosis, and blockage of the cell cycle in DNMT3AR882H cells than WT cells. Selinexor also significantly inhibited the proliferation of subcutaneous tumors in DNMT3AR882H AML model mice. Primary cells with DNMT3A mutations were more sensitive to selinexor in chemotherapy-naive AML patients. RNA sequencing of selinexor treated AML cells revealed that the majority of metabolic pathways were downregulated after selinexor treatment, with the most significant change in the glutathione metabolic pathway. Glutathione inhibitor L-Buthionine-(S, R)-sulfoximine (BSO) significantly enhanced the apoptosis-inducing effect of selinexor in DNMT3AWT/DNMT3AR882H AML cells. In conclusion, our work reveals that selinexor displays anti-leukemia efficacy against DNMT3AR882H AML via downregulating glutathione pathway. Combination of selinexor and BSO provides novel therapeutic strategy for AML treatment.

Abstract
DNA methylation is a chromatin modification that plays an important role in the epigenetic regulation of gene expression. Changes in DNA methylation patterns are characteristic of many malignant neoplasms. DNA methylation is occurred by DNA methyltransferases (DNMTs), while demethylation is mediated by TET family proteins. Mutations and changes in the expression profile of these enzymes lead to DNA hypo- and hypermethylation and have a strong impact on carcinogenesis. In this review, we considered the key aspects of the mechanisms of regulation of DNA methylation and demethylation, and also analyzed the role of DNA methyltransferases and TET family proteins in the pathogenesis of various malignant neoplasms.During the preparation of the review, we used the following biomedical literature information bases: Scopus (504), PubMed (553), Web of Science (1568), eLibrary (190). To obtain full-text documents, the electronic resources of PubMed Central (PMC), Science Direct, Research Gate, CyberLeninka were used. To analyze the mutational profile of epigenetic regulatory enzymes, we used the cBioportal portal (https://www.cbioportal.org / ), data from The AACR Project GENIE Consortium (https://www.mycancergenome.org / ), COSMIC, Clinvar, and The Cancer Genome Atlas (TCGA).

Insights into S-adenosyl-l-methionine (SAM)-dependent methyltransferase related diseases and genetic polymorphisms. MUTATION RESEARCH. REVIEWS IN MUTATION RESEARCH 2021; 788:108396. [PMID: 34893161 DOI: 10.1016/j.mrrev.2021.108396] [Citation(s) in RCA: 12] [Impact Index Per Article: 4.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 01/26/2021] [Revised: 10/03/2021] [Accepted: 10/05/2021] [Indexed: 12/11/2022]
Abstract
Enzymatic methylation catalyzed by methyltransferases has a significant impact on many human biochemical reactions. As the second most ubiquitous cofactor in humans, S-adenosyl-l-methionine (SAM or AdoMet) serves as a methyl donor for SAM-dependent methyltransferases (MTases), which transfer a methyl group to a nucleophilic acceptor such as O, As, N, S, or C as the byproduct. SAM-dependent methyltransferases can be grouped into different types based on the substrates. Here we systematically reviewed eight types of methyltransferases associated with human diseases. Catechol O-methyltransferase (COMT), As(III) S-adenosylmethionine methyltransferase (AS3MT), indolethylamine N-methyltransferase (INMT), phenylethanolamine N-methyltransferase (PNMT), histamine N-methyltransferase (HNMT), nicotinamide N-methyltransferase (NNMT), thiopurine S-methyltransferase (TPMT) and DNA methyltansferase (DNMT) are classic SAM-dependent MTases. Correlations between genotypes and disease susceptibility can be partially explained by genetic polymorphisms. The physiological function, substrate specificity, genetic variants and disease susceptibility associated with these eight SAM-dependent methyltransferases are discussed in this review.
