Long-term maintenance of somatic stem cells relies on precise regulation of self-renewal and differentiation. Understanding the molecular framework for these homeostatic processes is essential for improved cellular therapies and treatment of myeloid neoplasms. CUX1 is a widely expressed, dosage-sensitive transcription factor crucial in development and frequently deleted in myeloid neoplasia in the context of -7/(del7q).

Retroelements in the human genome are silenced via multiple mechanisms, including DNA methylation, to prevent their potential mutagenic effect. Retroelement activity, demonstrated by their expression and somatic retrotransposition events, was shown to be deregulated in multiple tumors but not yet in leukemia. We hypothesized that treatment with hypomethylating agents, commonly used in myelodysplastic syndromes and acute myeloid leukemia, could lead to increased retroelement activity and somatic retrotranspositions, thus contributing to disease progression.

Keloid is a trauma-induced fibroproliferative condition characterized by excessive extracellular matrix (ECM) deposition and aberrant keloid fibroblast activation, leading to physical, psychological, functional, and cosmetic impairments. This study investigates DNA methylation alterations at Long Interspersed Nuclear Element-1 (LINE-1) and Alu repetitive elements in keloid tissues compared to normal skin tissues. Methylation levels and patterns were analyzed in keloid (n = 38) and normal skin tissues (n = 32).
