Journal ArticleDOI

Developmental stage–selective effect of somatically mutated leukemogenic transcription factor GATA1

TL;DR: It is shown that the dominant action of GATA1s leads to hyperproliferation of a unique, previously unrecognized yolk sac and fetal liver progenitor, which is proposed accounts for the transient nature of TMD and the restriction of DS-AMKL to infants.
Journal ArticleDOI

miR-125b-2 is a potential oncomiR on human chromosome 21 in megakaryoblastic leukemia

TL;DR: The role of Hsa21-encoded miR-125b-2, a microRNA overexpressed in DS-AMKL/TL, in hematopoiesis and leukemogenesis is investigated and proposed as a positive regulator of megakaryopoiedis and an oncomiR involved in the pathogenesis of trisomy 21-associatedmegakaryoblastic leukemia.
Journal ArticleDOI

ETV6-NTRK3 fusion oncogene initiates breast cancer from committed mammary progenitors via activation of AP1 complex.

TL;DR: A mouse model that recapitulates expression of the ETV6-NTRK3 (EN) fusion oncoprotein, the product of the t(12;15)(p13;q25) translocation characteristic of human secretory breast carcinoma, provides genetic evidence that, in nulliparous Wap-Cre;EN females, committed alveolar bipotent or CD61(+) luminal progenitors are targets of tumorigenesis.
Journal ArticleDOI

Developmental stage-specific interplay of GATA1 and IGF signaling in fetal megakaryopoiesis and leukemogenesis

TL;DR: This study addresses the vexing issue of how developmental restriction is achieved in Down syndrome acute megakaryoblastic leukemia (DS-AMKL), and explains resistance to transformation of ostensibly similar adult progenitors.
