| Research Abstract |
Mice transplanted with RUNX1/EVI1-expressed bone marrow cells showed increased number of platelets and splenomegaly. In these mice increased number of megakaryocyte was recognized in bone marrow and spleen. RUNX1/EVI1 enhanced colony replating activity of hematopoietic cells. The expression level of Skp2, which is one of a target genes of RUNX1/EVI1, was decreased in colony forming cells gradually. Some mice developed leukemia after transplantation. c-Kit-positive leukemic cells invaded bone marrow, spleen and liver.
