The t(3;21) Fusion Product, AML1/Evi-1, Interacts With Smad3 and Blocks Transforming Growth Factor-β–Mediated Growth Inhibition of Myeloid Cells
1 Dec 1998
Abstract excerpt
The t(3;21)(q26;q22) chromosomal translocation associated with blastic crisis of chronic myelogenous leukemia results in the formation of the AML1/Evi-1 chimeric protein, which is thought to play a causative role in leukemic transformation of hematopoietic cells. Here we show that AML1/Evi-1 represses growth-inhibitory signaling by transforming growth factor-beta (TGF-beta) in 32Dcl3 myeloid cells. The activity...
