Growth Factor Independence 1 Protects Hematopoietic Stem Cells Against Apoptosis but Also Prevents the Development of a Myeloproliferative-Like Disease
9 Dec 2010
Abstract excerpt
The regulation of gene transcription is elementary for the function of hematopoietic stem cells (HSCs). The transcriptional repressor growth factor independence 1 (Gfi1) restricts HSC proliferation and is essential to maintain their self-renewal capacity and multipotency after transplantation. In addition, Gfi1(-/-) HSCs are severely compromised in their ability to compete with wild-type (wt) HSCs after...
