The myeloid master regulator transcription factor PU.1 is inactivated by AML1-ETO in t(8;21) myeloid leukemia
16 Dec 2002
Abstract excerpt
The transcription factor PU.1 plays a pivotal role in normal myeloid differentiation. PU.1(-/-) mice exhibit a complete block in myeloid differentiation. Heterozygous PU.1 mutations were reported in some patients with acute myeloid leukemia (AML), but not in AML with translocation t(8;21), which gives rise to the fusion gene AML1-ETO. Here we report a negative functional impact of AML1-ETO on the transcriptional...
