Initial clinical trials with drugs targeting epigenetic modulators - such as bromodomain and extraterminal protein (BET) inhibitors - demonstrate modest results in acute myeloid leukemia (AML). A major reason for this involves an increased transcriptional plasticity within AML, which allows cells to escape the therapeutic pressure. In this study, we investigated immediate epigenetic and transcriptional responses following BET inhibition and could demonstrate that BET inhibitor-mediated …
