Roles of Bim in Apoptosis of Normal and Bcr-Abl-Expressing Hematopoietic Progenitors

Abstract excerpt

Bcr-Abl kinase is known to reverse apoptosis of cytokine-dependent cells due to cytokine deprivation, although it has been controversial whether chronic myeloid leukemia (CML) progenitors have the potential to survive under conditions in which there are limited amounts of cytokines. Here we demonstrate that early hematopoietic progenitors (Sca-1(+) c-Kit(+) Lin(-)) isolated from normal mice rapidly undergo...
