RAS oncogene suppression induces apoptosis followed by more differentiated and less myelosuppressive disease upon relapse of acute myeloid leukemia
25 Oct 2008
Abstract excerpt
To study the oncogenic role of the NRAS oncogene (NRAS(G12V)) in the context of acute myeloid leukemia (AML), we used a Vav promoter-tetracycline transactivator (Vav-tTA)-driven repressible TRE-NRAS(G12V) transgene system in Mll-AF9 knock-in mice developing AML. Conditional repression of NRAS(G12V) expression greatly reduced peripheral white blood cell (WBC) counts in leukemia recipient mice and induced apoptosis...
