Abstract excerpt
PU.1 is a member of the ETS family of transcription factors that is known to be important for hematopoietic development. Recently, haploinsufficiency for PU.1 has been shown to cause a shift in myelomonocytic progenitor fate toward the myeloid lineage. We have previously shown that transgenic mice expressing PML-RARalpha (PR) and RARalpha-PML frequently develop acute promyelocytic leukemia (APL) in association...
