MicroRNA expression profiling of CML and normal quiescent cells.
Ontology highlight
ABSTRACT: Chronic myeloid leukaemia (CML) is a clonal haemopoietic stem cell (HSC) disorder associated with the BCR-ABL oncogene, which encodes a constitutively active tyrosine kinase. We have demonstrated the existence of CML HSC which are resistant to the tyrosine kinase inhibitors (TKI). We have hypothesised that CML stem cells are dependent on key survival pathways that are induced by TKI treatment. In order to elucidate these key survival pathways, we have investigated the transcriptional differences between normal and CML stem/progenitor cells (CD34+38-) and by carrying out RNA profiling for the different populations. CD34+38- cells were isolated from chronic phase patient samples. LCSciences human miRNA microarray chips were used (100% coverage of mature miRNAs listed in miRBase version 14).
