In Pediatric cancer, the traditional cytotoxic therapeutic approaches are always a compromise between treatment efficacy and the risk of developing severe secondary effects, including new tumours during the adulthood. Our previous study demonstrates that SMARCA4 is necessary to regulate the demethylase activity of H3K27me3 in cancer, we discover that the inhibition of KDM6A/B is lethal specifically in SMARCA4 deficient tumors. This discovery implicates a new synthetic lethality, in which inactivating mutations in SWI/SNF members could sensitize cancer cells to specific epigenetic inhibitors affecting pediatric tumours.
