A Retinoid-Resistant Acute Promyelocytic Leukemia Subclone Expresses a Dominant Negative PML-RARα Mutation
15 Jun 1997
Abstract excerpt
The unique t(15;17) of acute promyelocytic leukemia (APL) fuses the PML gene with the retinoic acid receptor alpha (RAR alpha) gene. Although retinoic acid (RA) inhibits cell growth and induces differentiation in human APL cells, resistance to RA develops both in vitro and in patients. We have developed RA-resistant subclones of the human APL cell line, NB4, whose nuclear extracts display altered RA binding. In...
