Comprehensive characterization of the epigenetic landscape in Multiple Myeloma.

ABSTRACT: Background: Human multiple myeloma (MM) cell lines (HMCLs) have been widely used to understand the molecular processes that drive MM biology. Epigenetic modifications are involved in MM development, progression, and drug resistance. A comprehensive characterization of the epigenetic landscape of MM would advance our understanding of MM pathophysiology and may attempt to identify new therapeutic targets. Methods: We performed chromatin immunoprecipitation sequencing to analyze histone mark changes (H3K4me1, H3K4me3, H3K9me3, H3K27ac, H3K27me3 and H3K36me3) on 16 HMCLs. Results: Differential analysis of histone modification profiles highlighted links between histone modifications and cytogenetic abnormalities or recurrent mutations. Using histone modifications associated
