A novel enhancer regulates MGMT expression and promotes temozolomide resistance in glioblastoma

Temozolomide (TMZ) resistance in glioblastomas (GBM) is associated with increased MGMT expression. Here, the authors identify an enhancer between the promoters of MKI67 and MGMT, that when activated drives MGMT expression despite MGMT promoter methylation to confer TMZ resistance in GBM.
