Homoharringtonine Inhibits the NOTCH/MYC Pathway and Exhibits Anti-Tumor Effects in T-Cell Acute Lymphoblastic Leukemia.

We report on the antileukemic activity of homoharringtonine (HHT) in T-ALL. We showed that HHT inhibited NOTCH/MYC pathway and induced a significantly longer survival in T-ALL mouse and patient-derived xenograft models, therefore supporting HHT as a promising agent for T-ALL.
