Loss-of-function TET2 mutations (TET2<sup>MT</sup>) are common in myeloid neoplasia. TET2, a DNA dioxygenase, requires 2-oxoglutarate and Fe(II) to oxidize 5-methylcytosine. TET2<sup>MT</sup> thus result in hypermethylation and transcriptional repression. Ascorbic acid (AA) increases dioxygenase activity by facilitating Fe(III)/Fe(II) redox reaction and may alleviate some biological consequences of TET2<sup>MT</sup> by restoring dioxygenase activity. Here, we report the utility of AA in the prev ...[more]
