HoxA10 Activates Transcription of the Gene Encoding Mitogen-activated Protein Kinase Phosphatase 2 (Mkp2) in Myeloid Cells
13 Apr 2007
Abstract excerpt
HoxA10 is a homeodomain transcription factor that is frequently overexpressed in human acute myeloid leukemia. In murine bone marrow transplantation studies, HoxA10 overexpression induces a myeloproliferative disorder with accumulation of mature phagocytes in the peripheral blood and tissues. Over time, differentiation block develops in these animals, resulting in acute myeloid leukemia. In immature myeloid...
