Absence of the transcription factor CCAAT enhancer binding protein α results in loss of myeloid identity in bcr/abl-induced malignancy

Abstract excerpt

The lineage-determining transcription factor CCAAT enhancer binding protein alpha (C/EBPalpha) is required for myeloid differentiation. Decreased function or expression of C/EBPalpha is often found in human acute myeloid leukemia. However, the precise impact of C/EBPalpha deficiency on the maturation arrest in leukemogenesis is not well understood. To address this question, we used a murine transplantation model...
