X Abstract

Oncogenic tyrosine kinases, such as BCR-ABL, TEL-ABL, TEL-PDGFbetaR and FLT3-ITD, play a major role in the development of hematopoietic malignancy. They activate many of the same signal transduction pathways. To identify the critical target genes required for transformation in hematopoietic cells, we used a comparative gene expression strategy in which selective small molecules were applied to 32Dc13 cells that had been transformed to factor-independent growth by these respective oncogenic alleles. We identified inhibitor of DNA binding 1 (Id1), a gene involved in development, cell cycle and tumorigenesis, as a common target of these oncogenic kinases. These findings were prospectively confirmed in cell lines and primary bone marrow cells engineered to express the respective tyrosine kinase alleles, and were also confirmed in vivo in murine models of disease. Moreover, human AML cells lines Molm-14 and K562 that express the FLT3-ITD or BCR-ABL tyrosine kinases respectively, showed high levels of Id1 expression. Antisense and siRNA based knock-down of Id1 inhibited growth of these cells associated with increased p27(Kip1) expression and increased sensitivity to Trail-induced apoptosis. These findings indicate that Id1 is an important target of constitutively activated tyrosine kinases, and may be a therapeutic target for leukemias associated with oncogenic tyrosine kinases.

CiteULike organises scholarly (or academic) papers or literature and provides bibliographic (which means it makes bibliographies) for universities and higher education establishments. It helps undergraduates and postgraduates. People studying for PhDs or in postdoctoral (postdoc) positions. The service is similar in scope to EndNote or RefWorks or any other reference manager like BibTeX, but it is a social bookmarking service for scientists and humanities researchers.
