Discovering chemical modifiers of oncogene-regulated hematopoietic differentiation
نویسندگان
چکیده
It has been proposed that inhibitors of an oncogene's effects on multipotent hematopoietic progenitor cell differentiation may change the properties of the leukemic stem cells and complement the clinical use of cytotoxic drugs. Using zebrafish, we developed a robust in vivo hematopoietic differentiation assay that reflects the activity of the oncogene AML1-ETO. Screening for modifiers of AML1-ETO-mediated hematopoietic dysregulation uncovered unexpected roles of COX-2- and beta-catenin-dependent pathways in AML1-ETO function. This approach may open doors for developing therapeutics targeting oncogene function within leukemic stem cells.

Cell context-specific effects of the BCR-ABL oncogene monitored in hematopoietic progenitors.
Acute BCR-ABL expression during in vitro hematopoietic development of embryonic stem (ES) cells causes expansion of multipotent and myeloid progenitors with a concomitant reduction in differentiation toward erythroblasts. Progenitor cell expansion is due to a rapid, cell autonomous, suppression of programmed cell death with an increase in expression of the antiapoptotic molecule BCL-X(L). Other...

متن کاملTRAF7 sequesters c-Myb to the cytoplasm by stimulating its sumoylation.
Small ubiquitin-related modifiers (SUMOs) are proteins that are posttranslationally conjugated to diverse proteins. The c-myb proto-oncogene product (c-Myb) regulates proliferation and differentiation of hematopoietic cells. PIASy is the only known SUMO E3 ligase for c-Myb. Here, we report that TRAF7 binds to c-Myb and stimulates its sumoylation. TRAF7 bound to the DNA-binding domain of c-Myb v...

BACKGROUND AND AIM Overexpression of ecotropic viral integration site 1 (EVI1) is associated with aggressive disease in myeloid leukemia. We therefore studied its expression and function in cluster of differentiation 34-positive (CD34(+)) primary human hematopoietic progenitor cells. MATERIALS AND METHODS CD34(+) cells were differentiated into various myeloid lineages using the appropriate cy...
