Research Abstract

In this study, we investigated roles of senescence/longevity related molecules in the development, maintenance and differentiation of leukemia stem cells. We found that FOXO, which is a critical regulator of longevity of C. elegans, is essential for maintenance of leukemia stem cells. In addition, it was suggested that constitutive Ras, which is known to induce cellular senescence, causes leukemogenesis, collaborating with factors controlling cellular differentiation.
