Identifying and targeting microenvironment-driven pathways that are active across acute myeloid leukemia (AML) genetic subtypes should allow the development of more broadly effective therapies. The pro-inflammatory cytokine IL-1 is abundant in the AML microenvironment and promotes leukemic growth. Through RNA-sequencing analysis, we identify that IL-1 upregulated ASF1B (anti-silencing function-1B), a histone chaperone, in AML progenitors compared to healthy progenitors. ASF1B, along with …
