SWI/SNF (SWItch/Sucrose Non-Fermentable) chromatin remodeling complexes play significant roles in the regulation of gene expression, being essential for processes such as cell maintenance and differentiation in hematopoietic stem cells. Furthermore, alterations in SWI/SNF complex subunits, especially in ARID1A/1B/2, SMARCA2/4, and BCL7A, are highly recurrent across a wide variety of lymphoid and myeloid malignancies. Most genetic alterations cause a loss of function of the subunit, suggesting a tumor suppressor role. However, SWI/SNF subunits can also be required for tumor maintenance or even play an oncogenic role in certain disease contexts. The recurrent alterations of SWI/SNF subunits highlight not only the biological relevance of SWI/SNF complexes in hematological malignancies but also their clinical potential. In particular, increasing evidence has shown that mutations in SWI/SNF complex subunits confer resistance to several antineoplastic agents routinely used for the treatment of hematological malignancies. Furthermore, mutations in SWI/SNF subunits often create synthetic lethality relationships with other SWI/SNF or non-SWI/SNF proteins that could be exploited therapeutically. In conclusion, SWI/SNF complexes are recurrently altered in hematological malignancies and some SWI/SNF subunits may be essential for tumor maintenance. These alterations, as well as their synthetic lethal relationships with SWI/SNF and non-SWI/SNF proteins, may be pharmacologically exploited for the treatment of diverse hematological cancers.}, organization = {Aula de Investigacion sobre la Leucemia infantil: Heroes contra la Leucemia}, organization = {Ministry of Science and Innovation, Spain (MICINN) Spanish Government PID2021-126111OB-I00}, organization = {Junta de Andalucia PIGE-0440-2019 PI-0135-2020 P20_00688}, organization = {University of Granada B-CTS-480-UGR20 OTRI-UGR P32_2020_001}, organization = {Spanish Association Against Cancer LAB-AECC-2018 Spanish Government FPU17/00067}, organization = {University of Granada}, organization = {Programa Operativo de Empleo Juvenil y de la Iniciativa de Empleo Juvenil 2021-2023 8114}, organization = {Scientific Foundation of the Spanish Association Against Cancer in Granada PRDGR21428SANJ}, organization = {"Fundacion Benefica Anticancer Santa Candida y San Francisco Javier" predoctoral fellowship}, organization = {"UGR Plan Propio" contract - Spanish Ministry of Universities}, organization = {European Union Next Generation FPU17/01258}, publisher = {BMC}, keywords = {SWI/SNF}, keywords = {BAF complexes}, keywords = {Chromatin remodeling}, keywords = {Epigenetics}, keywords = {Lymphoma}, keywords = {Leukemia}, keywords = {Multiple myeloma}, keywords = {Synthetic lethality}, keywords = {Drug resistance}, title = {SWI/SNF complexes in hematological malignancies: biological implications and therapeutic opportunities}, doi = {10.1186/s12943-023-01736-8}, author = {Andrades Delgado, Álvaro and Peinado Fernández, Paola and Álvarez Pérez, Juan Carlos and Sanjuan Hidalgo, Juan and García García, Daniel Jesús and Arenas Molina, Alberto Manuel and Matia González, Ana María and Medina Vico, Pedro Pablo}, }
