The invention belongs to the technical field of
gene engineering, and particularly relates to a
medicine for treating AML (acute myelogenous
leukemia) and / or prognosis of AML patients and application of
ubiquitin specific
protease 20 serving as a target spot in treating acute myelogenous
leukemia. The invention provides a
medicine for treating AML (acute myelogenous
leukemia) and / or prognosis of an AML patient and application of
ubiquitin specific
protease 20 as a target spot in treating acute myelogenous leukemia, USP20 is used as a super
enhancer regulation
gene, and the progress of the AML is promoted by combining with CTNNB1,
ERG, ELF1 and RUNX1. The knock-down of the USP20 can significantly inhibit AML proliferation
in vivo and
in vitro. The wnt-beta-
catenin pathway can be influenced by interfering the expression of the USP20 so as to influence the progress of AML (acute
myeloid leukemia). And the inhibition effect of the inhibitor AS1517499 subjected to
virtual screening on the growth of the AML cells is superior to that of a commercial inhibitor GSK2643943A of USP20.
