FOXP1 regulates oxidative stress, SIRT1 expression, and resistance to chemotherapies in acute myeloid leukemia cells.

ABSTRACT: Transcription factor Forkhead box P1 (FOXP1) belongs to the same protein family as the FOXOs that are well-known regulators of murine hematopoietic stem progenitor cell (HSPC) maintenance via dampening oxidative stress. FOXP1 and FOXOs can play opposite, or similar, roles depending on cell context; they can crossregulate each other's expression. In a previous study, we have shown that FOXP1 contributes to healthy human HSPC and acute myeloid leukemia (AML) cell growth. Here, we investigated the role of FOXP1 in HSPCs and AML cell oxidative stress defense in a human context. FOXP1 expression level was associated with an inferior survival outcome in patients with cytogenetically normal AML. FOXP1 knockdown enhanced superoxide anion levels of human-committed CD34+CD38+ cells but not stem cell
