The PML/RAR alpha oncoprotein is a direct molecular target of retinoic acid in acute promyelocytic leukemia cells
15 Oct 1996
Abstract excerpt
Acute promyelocytic leukemia (APL) is characterized by the translocation, t(15;17) and the expression of a PML/RAR alpha fusion protein that is diagnostic of the disease. There is evidence that PML/RAR alpha protein acts as a dominant negative inhibitor of normal retinoid receptor function and myeloid differentiation. We now show that the PML/RAR alpha fusion product is directly downregulated in response to...
