Chromosomal translocation-mediated evasion from miRNA induces strong MEF2D fusion protein expression, causing inhibition of PAX5 transcriptional activity
MEF2D fusion genes are newly discovered recurrent gene abnormalities that are detected in approximately 5% of acute lymphoblastic leukemia cases. We previously demonstrated that the vector-driven expression of...

The synergistic effect of BCR signaling inhibitors combined with an HDAC inhibitor on cell death in a mantle cell lymphoma cell line
Mantle cell lymphoma (MCL) is a B cell malignancy characterized by aberrant expression of cyclin D1 due to a t(11;14) translocation. MCL is refractory to conventional chemotherapy, and treatment remains challe...

Open AccessMicrovesicles released from hormone-refractory prostate cancer cells facilitate mouse pre-osteoblast differentiation
Bone metastasis is often occurs in patients with prostate cancer. There is a vicious cycle for bone metastases involving prostate cancer cells, osteoblasts, and osteoclasts. Acting among those cells during the...

Altered interaction of HDAC5 with GATA-1 during MEL cell differentiation
The transcription factor GATA-1 plays a significant role in erythroid differentiation and association with CBP stimulates its activity by acetylation. It is possible that histone deacetylases (HDACs) repress t...

Mechanism of constitutive activation of FLT3 with internal tandem duplication in the juxtamembrane domain
Internal tandem duplication (ITD) of the juxtamembrane (JM) domain of FLT3 is the most frequent mutation in human acute myeloid leukemia, and is significantly associated with leukocytosis and a poor prognosis....

Tandem-duplicated Flt3 constitutively activates STAT5 and MAP kinase and introduces autonomous cell growth in IL-3-dependent cell lines
We have recently identified an internal tandem duplication of the human Flt3 gene in approximately 20% of acute myeloid leukemia (AML) cases. In the present study, the wild-type and the mutant Flt3 genes were ...
