Transcription factor 12-mediated self-feedback regulatory mechanism is required in DUX4 fusion leukaemia.

ABSTRACT:

Background

IGH::DUX4 is frequently observed in 4% B-cell acute lymphoblastic leukaemia patients. Regarding the IGH::DUX4-driven transactivation and alternative splicing, which are the main reasons behind this acute leukaemia outbreak, it remains unclear how transcriptional cofactors contribute to this oncogenic process. Further investigation is required to elucidate their specific role in leukaemogenesis.

Methods

In order to investigate the cofactors of IGH::DUX4, integrated mining of Chromatin immunoprecipitation (ChIP)-sequencing and RNA-sequencing of leukaemia cells and patient samples were conducted. Furthermore, to elucidate the synergistic interaction between transcription factor 12 (TCF12) and IGH::DUX4, knockdown and knockout experiment, mammalian two-hybridisation a
