Significance By using the H2O2 sensor (termed as HyPerion), we unravel a unique redox metabolic preference in maintaining the reactive oxygen species (ROS) level of acute myeloid leukemia (AML) cells. HyPerion-low AML cells have enhanced leukemogenic capacities, are enriched for functional leukemia-initiating cells, tend to localize in the endosteal niche, and are more resistant to chemotherapy, which may be fine-tuned by malic enzyme ME1/3. Targeting ME1/3 can efficiently delay the AML development and overcome the drug resistance.
