STAT5-mediated self-renewal of normal hematopoietic and leukemic stem cells
نویسندگان
چکیده
The level of transcription factor activity critically regulates cell fate decisions such as hematopoietic stem cell self-renewal and differentiation. The balance between hematopoietic stem cell self-renewal and differentiation needs to be tightly controlled, as a shift toward differentiation might exhaust the stem cell pool, while a shift toward self-renewal might mark the onset of leukemic transformation. A number of transcription factors have been proposed to be critically involved in governing stem cell fate and lineage commitment, such as Hox transcription factors, c-Myc, Notch1, β-catenin, C/ebpα, Pu.1 and STAT5. It is therefore no surprise that dysregulation of these transcription factors can also contribute to the development of leukemias. This review will discuss the role of STAT5 in both normal and leukemic hematopoietic stem cells as well as mechanisms by which STAT5 might contribute to the development of human leukemias.

Selective activation of STAT5 unveils its role in stem cell self-renewal in normal and leukemic hematopoiesis
Although the concept of a leukemic stem cell system has recently been well accepted, its nature and the underlying molecular mechanisms remain obscure. Constitutive activation of signal transducers and activators of transcription 3 (STAT3) and STAT5 is frequently detected in various hematopoietic tumors. To evaluate their role in normal and leukemic stem cells, we took advantage of constitutive...
متن کاملSTAT5 is crucial to maintain leukemic stem cells in acute myelogenous leukemias induced by MOZ-TIF2.
MOZ-TIF2 is a leukemogenic fusion oncoprotein that confers self-renewal capability to hematopoietic progenitor cells and induces acute myelogenous leukemia (AML) with long latency in bone marrow transplantation assays. Here, we report that FLT3-ITD transforms hematopoietic cells in cooperation with MOZ-TIF2 in vitro and in vivo. Coexpression of FLT3-ITD confers growth factor independent surviva...
متن کاملIdentification of HIF2alpha as an important STAT5 target gene in human hematopoietic stem cells.
The transcription factor signal transducer and activator of transcription 5 (STAT5) fulfills essential roles in self-renewal in mouse and human hematopoietic stem cells (HSCs), and its persistent activation contributes to leukemic transformation, although little molecular insight into the underlying mechanisms has been obtained. In the present study, we show that STAT5 can impose long-term expa...
متن کاملMutation of STAT1/3 binding sites in gp130(FXXQ) knock-in mice does not alter hematopoietic stem cell repopulation or self-renewal potential.
Interleukin (IL)-6 family cytokine signaling through gp130 and signal transducer and activator of transcription (STAT) activation is believed important for early hematopoiesis. To determine whether gp130/STAT1/3 physical interaction is required, we compared hematopoietic repopulating activities of embryonic day (E)14.5 fetal liver cells from gp130(FXXQ/FXXQ) knock-in mice, which have four mutat...
متن کاملStat5-deficient hematopoiesis is permissive for Myc-induced B-cell leukemogenesis
Despite being an attractive molecular target for both lymphoid and myeloid leukemias characterized by activated tyrosine kinases, the molecular and physiological consequences of reduced signal transducer and activator of transcription-5 (Stat5) during leukemogenesis are not well known. Stat5 is a critical regulator of mouse hematopoietic stem cell (HSC) self-renewal and is essential for normal ...
