Outline of Final Research Achievements |
Multiple myeloma (MM) is characterized by clonal proliferation of long-lived plasma cells within the bone marrow. Despite recent advances in its treatment, MM remains an incurable disease, underlining the need to continue exploring its molecular characteristics. We have identified that BCL9 has a pivotal role in MM pathogenesis. In this study, we found that CYBRD1, which is a iron regulating molecule, as a novel therapeutic target in MM using BCL9-Chromatin Immunoprecipitation (ChIP)-Sequence (Seq) (ChIPSeq).
