| Research Abstract |
Aberrant expression of Evi-1 has been shown as a poor-prognosis marker for acute myeloid leukemia (AML). In this study, we developed a colony replating assay to replicate Evi-1-related leukemia. Using this assay, we found several molecular mechanisms underlying Evi-1-mediated leukemogenesis as follows : (1) Evi-1 is upregulated by MLL oncoproteins. (2) Evi-1 activates Pbx1 and Akt/mTor pathway. (3) Evi-1 interacts with histone methyltransferases and polycomb complexes. Furthermore, we showed these factors are important for leukemogenic activities of Evi-1. These results provide a foundation to develop novel therapeutic strategies for AML.
