Meis1, a PBX1-related homeobox gene involved in myeloid leukemia in BXH-2 mice.
Leukemia results from the accumulation of multiple genetic alterations that disrupt the control mechanisms of normal growth and differentiation. The use of inbred mouse strains that develop leukemia has greatly facilitated the identification of genes that contribute to the neoplastic transformation of hematopoietic cells. BXH-2 mice develop myeloid leukemia as a result of the expression of an e...
متن کاملInduction of acute myeloid leukemia in mice by the human leukemia-specific fusion gene NUP98-HOXD13 in concert with Meis1.
HOX genes, notably members of the HOXA cluster, and HOX cofactors have increasingly been linked to human leukemia. Intriguingly, HOXD13, a member of the HOXD cluster not normally expressed in hematopoietic cells, was recently identified as a partner of NUP98 in a t(2;11) translocation associated with t-AML/MDS. We have now tested directly the leukemogenic potential of the NUP98-HOXD13 t(2; 11) ...
متن کاملDetection of R882 Mutations in DNMT3A Gene in Acute Myeloid Leukemia: A Method Comparison Study
Background: Somatic mutations in the hotspot region of the DNA-methyltransferase 3A (DNMT3A) gene were recurrently identified in acute myeloid leukemia (AML). It is believed that DNMT3A mutations confer an adverse prognosis for AML patients. These lines of evidence support the need for a rapid and cost-efficient method for the detection of these mutations. The present study aimed to establish h...
متن کاملA mutation in the Icsbp1 gene causes susceptibility to infection and a chronic myeloid leukemia–like syndrome in BXH-2 mice
BXH-2 mice develop a fatal myeloid leukemia by a two-step mutagenic process. First, a BXH-2-specific recessive mutation causes a myeloproliferative syndrome. Second, retroviral insertions alter oncogenes or tumor suppressors, resulting in clonal expansion of leukemic cells. We have identified a recessive locus on chromosome 8 (Myls) that is responsible for myeloproliferation in BXH-2. This Myls...
متن کاملTherapy-related myeloid leukemia following Pleuropulmonary blastoma: A case report
The development of secondary malignancy (SM) is the most worrisome long-term complication of childhood cancer. Acute myeloid leukemia is the most prevalent neoplasm that occurs after treatment with alkylating agents and topoisomerase II inhibitors. Pleuropulmonary blastoma (PPB) is a rare lung neoplasm in children. Type II and type III of this cancer are markedly aggressive and have a recurrent...
