Haploinsufficiency of AML1 results in a decrease in the number of LTR-HSCs while simultaneously inducing an increase in more mature progenitors
6 Aug 2004
Abstract excerpt
The AML1/CBFbeta transcriptional complex is essential for the formation of definitive hematopoietic stem cells (HSCs). Moreover, development of the hematopoietic system is exquisitely sensitive to the level of this complex. To investigate the effect of AML1 dosage on adult hematopoiesis, we compared the hematopoietic systems of AML1+/- and AML1+/+ mice. Surprisingly, loss of a single AML1 allele resulted in a 50%...
