Abstract excerpt
Mutations in the Wilms tumor suppressor 1 (WT1) gene are as frequent in acute myeloid leukemia (AML) as in nephroblastma and predict poor prognosis. However, the role of WT1 in hematopoiesis remains unclear. We show that Wt1-deficient mouse embryonic stem cells exhibit reduced hematopoietic potential caused by vascular endothelial growth factor A (Vegf-a)-dependent apoptosis of hematopoietic progenitor cells...
