Targeting inflammatory signals mitigates clonal hematopoiesis in TET2-mutated preleukemic stem and progenitor cells20, blocking IL-6 signaling delays chronic myeloid leukemia development21 and interfering in the JAK/STAT pathway shows anti-leukemic activity in AML in vitro7, which prove the feasibility of targeting the inflammasome in myeloid diseases. Here, TET2 is linked to acute myeloid leukemia.
