FIP1L1-PDGFRα Imposes Eosinophil Lineage Commitment on Hematopoietic Stem/Progenitor Cells
16 Jan 2009
Abstract excerpt
Although leukemogenic tyrosine kinases (LTKs) activate a common set of downstream molecules, the phenotypes of leukemia caused by LTKs are rather distinct. Here we report the molecular mechanism underlying the development of hypereosinophilic syndrome/chronic eosinophilic leukemia by FIP1L1-PDGFRalpha. When introduced into c-Kit(high)Sca-1(+)Lineage(-) cells, FIP1L1-PDGFRalpha conferred cytokine-independent...
