Literatür İçeriği :  Leukemic transformation of human cells is a complex process. Here we show that forced expression of MN1 in primitive human cord blood (CB) cells maintained on stromal cells in vitro induces a transient, but not serially transplantable, myeloproliferation in engrafted mice. However, co-transduction of an activated HOX gene (NUP98HOXD13) with MN1 induces a serially transplantable acute myeloid leukemia (AML). Further characterization of the leukemic cells generated from the dually transduced cells revealed activation of stem cell gene expression signatures also found in primary human AML. These findings reveal a new forward genetic model of human leukemogenesis and further highlight the relevance of homeobox transcription factors in the transformation process.
