Journal Article
Orfali, N., Shan‐Krauer, D., O'Donovan, T. R., Mongan, N. P., Gudas, L. J., Cahill, M. R., …McKenna, S. L. (2020). Inhibition of UBE2L6 attenuates ISGylation and impedes ATRA‐induced differentiation of leukemic cells. Molecular Oncology, 14(6), 1297-1309. https://doi.org/10.1002/1878-0261.12614

Ubiquitin/ISG15‐conjugating enzyme E2L6 (UBE2L6) is a critical enzyme in ISGylation, a post‐translational protein modification that conjugates the ubiquitin‐like modifier, interferon‐stimulated gene 15 (ISG15), to target substrates. Previous gene exp... Read More about Inhibition of UBE2L6 attenuates ISGylation and impedes ATRA‐induced differentiation of leukemic cells.

All-trans retinoic acid (ATRA)-induced TFEB expression is required for myeloid differentiation in acute promyelocytic leukemia (APL) (2019)
Journal Article

All-trans retinoic acid (ATRA)-induced TFEB expression is required for myeloid differentiation in acute promyelocytic leukemia (APL). European Journal of Haematology, 104(3), 236-250. https://doi.org/10.1111/ejh.13367

Objective
In acute promyelocytic leukemia (APL), normal retinoid signaling is disrupted by an abnormal PML-RARα fusion oncoprotein, leading to a block in cell differentiation. Therapeutic concentrations of all-trans-retinoic acid (ATRA) can restore...
