Pro‐inflammatory cytokines favor the emergence of ETV6‐RUNX1‐positive pre‐leukemic cells in a model of mesenchymal niche
2 Mar 2020
Abstract excerpt
Summary ETV6‐RUNX1 (E/R) fusion gene, arising in utero from translocation t(12;21)(p13:q22), is the most frequent alteration in childhood acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL). However, E/R is insufficient to cause overt leukemia since it generates a clinically silent pre‐leukemic clone which persists in the bone marrow but fails to out‐compete normal progenitors. Conversely, pre‐leukemic cells show increased...
