RESUMEN
@#Mixed lineage leukemia 1(MLL1) is a member of the "SET" histone methyltransferases family.MLL1 methyltransferase complex, consisting of MLL1, WDR5, RbBP5, Ash2L and DPY-30, regulates methylation level of histone H3 lysine 4 and is essential for the development of human hematopoietic system and self-renewal of blood cells.As an oncogenic protein produced by the translocation of MLL1 gene, the MLL1 fusion protein has been found in some patients with leukemia.Complete MLL1 enzyme complex is required to perform histone demethylation effect, therefore, targeting the protein-protein interaction of MLL1-WDR5 has become a potential strategy for the treatment of leukemia induced by MLL1 fusion protein.This review systematically summarizes the biological mechanism, structural information and inhibitors of MLL1-WDR5 protein-protein interaction, with a perspective based on previously reported data, aiming to provide some reference for further investigation.
RESUMEN
<p><b>OBJECTIVE</b>To explore the curative effect of surgery and selerotherapy for massive venous malformations of the tongue.</p><p><b>METHODS</b>From January 2005 to December 2014, subtotal resection or debulking for 15 cases of massive venous malformation in the tongue was undertaken with multiple sessions of pre- and post-operative injection therapy of pingyangmycin, lauromacrogol and absolute ethanol.</p><p><b>RESULTS</b>All signs associated with the lesions including eating, sleep and speech disorders disappeared after treatment. Complete or near complete resolution was achieved in 9 cases, and a significant reduction in size in a further 6 cases after surgical excision and peri-operative sclerotherapy.</p><p><b>CONCLUSIONS</b>For massive venous malformations of the tongue, surgical excision combined with multiple sessions of sclerotherapy is a good treatment option.</p>
