The t(8;21)(q22;q22) translocation, present in approximately 5% of adult acute myeloid leukemia (AML) cases, produces the AML1/ETO (AE) fusion protein. Dysregulation of the Pit/Oct/Unc (POU) domain-containing transcription factor POU4F1 is a recurring abnormality in t(8;21) AML. In this study, we showed that POU4F1 overexpression is highly correlated with, but not caused by, AE. We observed that AE markedly increases the self-renewal capacity of myeloid progenitors from murine bone marrow or fet ...[more]
