Inhibition of the Transforming Growth Factor β1 Signaling Pathway by the AML1/ETO Leukemia-associated Fusion Protein
1 Dec 2000
Abstract excerpt
The t(8;21) translocation, found in adult acute myelogenous leukemia, results in the formation of an AML1/ETO chimeric transcription factor. AML1/ETO expression leads to alterations in hematopoietic progenitor cell differentiation, although its role in leukemic transformation is not clear. The N-terminal portion of AML1, which is retained in AML1/ETO, contains a region of homology to the FAST proteins, which...
