Epigenetically Induced Ectopic Expression of UNCX in Acute Myeloid Leukemia Associated with Impaired Proliferation and Differentiation of Myeloid Cells


ABSTRACT: We performed gene-expression profiling (GEP) of UNCX-positive versus UNCX-negative AML patients using exon-array and gene-pathway analyses. UNCX is a homeobox gene ectopically expressed in acute myeloid leukemia (AML) patients and cell lines, whose activation is induced by epigenetic modifications. Our results showed a novel leukemogenic role of UNCX in slowing myeloid cell proliferation with a differentiation arrest in AML blasts. Accordingly, UNCX expression characterizes AML cells at early stage of differentiation, mainly M2 and M3 FAB types carrying wild-type NPM1. Overall, our findings provide new relevant insights into the role of epigenetically activated homeobox genes in leukemogenesis, defining a new subgroup of AML patients.
