DNA methylation is considered an essential epigenetic event during leukaemogenesis and the emergence of drug resistance, which is primarily regulated by DNA methyltransferases. DNA methyltransferase-1 (DNMT1) is one of the members of DNA methyltransferases, in charge of maintaining established methylation. Recently, DNMT1 is shown to promote malignant events of cancers through the epigenetic and non-epigenetic processes. Increasing studies in solid tumours have identified DNMT1 as a therapeutic target and a regulator of therapy resistance; however, it is unclear whether DNMT1 is a critical regulator in acute myeloid leukaemia (AML) and how it works. In this review, we summarized the recent understanding of DNMT1 in normal haematopoiesis and AML and discussed the possible functions of DNMT1 in promoting the development of AML and predicting the sensitivity of hypomethylation agents to better understand the relationship between DNMT1 and AML and to look for new hope to treat AML patients.Key messagesThe function of DNA methyltransferase-1 in acute myeloid leukaemia.DNA methyltransferase-1 predicts the sensitivity of drug and involves the emergence of drug resistance.
