Abstract excerpt
The fusion protein PML/RARA, associated with acute promyelocytic leukemia behaves as an abnormal retinoic acid (RA) receptor with altered transactivation properties but is still inducible by RA. The chimeric protein is thought to promote leukemogenesis but also paradoxically to mediate the sensitivity to ATRA of APL cells. This has been supported by works reporting that in vitro ATRA resistance is characterized...
