MicroRNAs modulate hematopoietic lineage differentiation.
MicroRNAs (miRNAs) are an abundant class of approximately 22-nucleotide regulatory RNAs found in plants and animals. Some miRNAs of plants, Caenorhabditis elegans, and Drosophila play important gene-regulatory roles during development by pairing to target mRNAs to specify posttranscriptional repression of these messages. We identify three miRNAs that are specifically expressed in hematopoietic ...
متن کاملThe molecular biology of mixed lineage leukemia.
Mixed lineage leukemia is a very aggressive blood cancer that predominantly occurs in pediatric patients. In contrast to other types of childhood acute leukemias, mixed lineage leukemia presents with a dismal prognosis and despite the availability of advanced treatment methods cure rates have stagnated over the last years. Mixed lineage leukemia is characterized by the presence of MLL fusion pr...
متن کاملImpaired function of primitive hematopoietic cells in mice lacking the Mixed-Lineage-Leukemia homolog MLL5.
The human Mixed-Lineage-Leukemia-5 (MLL5) gene is located in a genomic region frequently deleted in patients with myeloid malignancies and encodes a widely expressed nuclear protein most closely related to MLL1, a Trithorax transcriptional regulator with established involvement in leukemogenesis. Although the physiologic function of MLL5 is completely unknown, domain structure and homology to t...
متن کاملClinical relevance of acute mixed-lineage leukemia.
A recent report by Pui et all focused on the biologic and clinical relevance of acute mixed-lineage leukemia; namely, acute lymphoblastic leukemia expressing myeloid-associated antigens (My+ ALL) and acute myeloid antigens expressing lymphoid antigens (Ly+ AML) were analyzed in a pediatric series. In our opinion, a major point in the field of hybrid acute leukemia remaining undetermined is whic...
