MLL-rearranged leukemias exemplify malignancies with perturbations of the epigenetic landscape. Specific chromatin modifications that aid in the perpetuation of MLL-fusion gene driven oncogenic programs are being defined, presenting novel avenues for therapeutic intervention. Proof-of-concept studies have recently been reported, using small-molecule inhibitors targeting the histone methyltransferase DOT1L or the acetyl-histone binding protein BRD4 showing potent activity against MLL-rearranged leukemias in pre-clinical models. It is apparent that intensive efforts will be made toward the further development of small-molecule inhibitors targeting these, and other chromatin-associated protein targets. These studies may lead to the advent of a new generation of much-needed therapeutic modalities in leukemia and other cancers.
