Outline of Final Research Achievements |
In this study, I identified a novel ABL1 fusion gene (UBAP2L-ABL1) newly found in patients with T-cell acute lymphoblastic leukemia (T-ALL) by RNA sequencing and performed amplification of UBAP2L-ABL1. ABL1 gene forms a BCR-ABL1 fusion gene in chronic myelocytic leukemia which has a persistent tyrosine kinase activity. It strongly promotes cell proliferation and is involved in leukemogenesis. In the future, UBAP2L-ABL1 will be introduced into the mouse cell line, and functional analysis will be performed to clarify the role of UBAP2L-ABL1 in T-ALL. This research may lead to treatment with tyrosine kinase inhibitors for T-ALL with UBAP2L-ABL1.
