Methylation of SPRED1: A New Target in Acute Myeloid Leukemia.

ABSTRACT: Sprouty-related, EVH1 domain-containing protein 1 (SPRED1) has been identified as a novel tumor suppressor gene in acute myeloid leukemia (AML). Previous studies showed that SPRED1 methylation levels were significantly increased in AML patients, making it an interesting candidate for further investigations. To confirm the association of SPRED1 methylation, clinical parameters, and known molecular prognosticators and to identify the impact of methylation level on treatment outcome, we conducted this study in a larger cohort of 75 AML patients. Significantly increased methylation levels of SPRED1 were detected at four of ten CpG units by quantitative high-resolution mass spectrometry-based approach (MassARRAY) in AML patients. Whereas overall survival (OS) and relapse-free survival (RFS) sho
