Expression data from bone marrow derived granulocyte monocyte precursors (GMPs) from wt -, Gfi1 knock-out -, human-Gfi1-SNP36N knock in and human wt-Gfi1 knock in mice

ABSTRACT: The incidence of cancer is not only influenced by exposure to environmental factors such as toxic substances and chemotherapy, but is also a result of individual predispositions. Single Nucleotide Polymorphisms (SNPs) represent one such individual predisposition to cancer1. Gfi136N is a SNP in the coding region of the gene “Growth factor independence 1 (Gfi1)” predisposing to development of Acute myeloid leukemia (AML). However, the mechanisms how this polymorphism is associated with AML are unknown. Here we present a mouse model in which the presence of Gfi136N leads to altered epigenetic modifications in the myeloid progenitor fraction “Granulocytic Monocytic Progenitor (GMP)” and demonstrates how this might predispose to AML. Presence of Gfi136N leads to a different epigenetic programm
