| Research Abstract |
In this study, we mainly analyzed the roles of MORF or MOZ in self-renewal of hematopoietic stem cells. High expression of MORF gene was appeared in hematopoietic stem cell fraction. Hematopoietic stem cell fractions were evenly decreased in aged and 5-FU treated MORF deficient mouse or in MOZ/MORF double heterozygous mouse. MORF was associated with AML1, PU.1 or GATA-1/2 and regulated their transcription. These results suggested MORF and MOZ modulated self-renewal activity of hematopoietic stem cells to interact with AML1, PU.1 or GATA-1/2 and to regulate their transcription activity.
