DOT1L Is a Novel Cancer Stem Cell Target for Triple-Negative Breast Cancer

Abstract

Although chemotherapies kill most cancer cells, stem cell–enriched survivors seed metastasis, particularly in triple-negative breast cancers (TNBC). TNBCs arise from and are enriched for tumor stem cells. Here, we tested if inhibition of DOT1L, an epigenetic regulator of normal tissue stem/progenitor populations, would target TNBC stem cells.
