The combination treatment with the BMI1 inhibitor PTC596 and the MCL1 inhibitor S63845 may be an effective treatment in CD34+ adverse risk AML with elevated MN1 gene expression and MCL1 protein levels, while combination treatment with BMI1 inhibitor PTC596 and the MEK inhibitor trametinib may be more effective in CD34+ adverse risk AML with elevated BMI1 gene expression and MEK protein levels. The gene discussed is MN1; the disease is acute myeloid leukemia.
