Overexpression of CDX2 perturbs HOX gene expression in murine progenitors depending on its N-terminal domain and is closely correlated with deregulated HOX gene expression in human acute myeloid leukemia

Abstract: IntroductionIn recent years, substantial progress has been made in understanding the biology of acute myeloid leukemia (AML). One of the pathogenetic hallmarks of AML are chromosomal translocations generating leukemogenic fusion genes that often act as aberrant transcription factors. 1 The second key genetic characteristics in AML are mutations, particularly those found in patients with normal karyotype and affecting the receptor tyrosine kinase FLT3 or the nucleophosmin protein (NPM1). Beside these structural… Show more

“…Thus, it extends our knowledge about the deregulation of this transcription factor that was reported earlier to be one of the most frequent ectopically expressed proto-oncogenes in AML, 8,11 and underlines that aberrant expression of this homeobox gene is not restricted to myeloid malignancies. This aberrant expression of CDX2 in human leukemias stands in clear contrast to highly related genes such as CDX4 or CDX1, which were not expressed in our series of AML patients or were detected only in a minor fraction of patients with AML.…”

The reason for this is unknown.…”
