Inducible disruption of Tet genes results in myeloid malignancy, readthrough transcription, and a heterochromatin-to-euchromatin switch
1 Feb 2023
Abstract excerpt
The three mammalian TET dioxygenases oxidize the methyl group of 5-methylcytosine in DNA, and the oxidized methylcytosines are essential intermediates in all known pathways of DNA demethylation. To define the in vivo consequences of complete TET deficiency, we inducibly deleted all three Tet genes in the mouse genome. Tet1/2/3-inducible TKO ( iTKO ) mice succumbed to acute myeloid leukemia (AML) by 4 to 5 wk....
