Erythroid Inhibition by the Leukemic Fusion AML1-ETO Is Associated with Impaired Acetylation of the Major Erythroid Transcription Factor GATA-1
15 Mar 2006
Abstract excerpt
Human acute myeloid leukemias with the t(8;21) translocation express the AML1-ETO fusion protein in the hematopoietic stem cell compartment and show impairment in erythroid differentiation. This clinical finding is reproduced in multiple murine and cell culture model systems in which AML1-ETO specifically interferes with erythroid maturation. Using purified normal human early hematopoietic progenitor cells, we...
