In the present study, we demonstrate that miR-22, an oncogenic miRNA reported in breast cancer and MDS15, 16, is significantly downregulated in most cases of de novo AML due to TET1/GFI1/EZH2/SIN3A-mediated epigenetic repression and/or DNA copy-number loss. This evidence concerns the gene EZH2 and acute myeloid leukemia.
