Research Abstract |
We clarified the novel tumor suppressive roles of Hes1 in acute myeloid leukemia. Themechanism was downregulation of cytokine signaling by transcriptional repression of cytokine receptor by Hes1. Growth rate of Hes1-null leukemic cells was higher than that of control cells, which was abrogated by specific inhibitor for cytokine signaling. These data provide a novel insight into a target therapy for myeloid leukemia.
