Trib1 promotes the development of acute myeloid leukemia in the Ts1Cje Down syndrome model mouse
Ontology highlight
ABSTRACT: Down syndrome (DS) is caused by trisomy of chromosome 21 and it predisposes to hematological disorders such as transient myeloproliferative disorder and acute megakaryocytic leukemia. Our previous study identified a gain-of-function mutation of TRIB1 encoding a pseudokinase that suppresses C/EBP and enhances MEK/ERK signaling. In this study, we aimed to examine whether Trib1 expression cooperates with trisomy 21 in the development of leukemia. The wild type or R107L mutant Trib1 was retrovirally introduced into bone marrow cells derived from the Ts1Cje Down syndrome model mice or C57Bl6/J mice. Trib1 expression in hematopoietic cells of Ts1Cje mice accelerated the onset of AML development compared with that in wild type mice. Gene expression analysis showed up-regulation of Hox downstream genes and down-regulation of genes for the myeloid differentiation program and C/EBP targets. These results suggest that Trib1-mediated signaling plays an important role in promoting leukemogenesis in Down syndrome. We used microarrays to detail the global program of gene expression in mouse AML
