MDS is characterized by a disturbed function of the myeloid lineage of the hematopoietic system that may transform to AML, a malignant disease of the myeloid compartment. Epigenetic and genetic aberrations contribute to the initiation and progression of MDS/AML. GFI1 is a transcriptional repressor, ...

Using Gfi1b conditional mice, deletion of gfi1b in the hematopietic system was induced by injecting MxCre tg Gfi1bfl/fl mice with pIpC. 30 days after injection, Cd150 pos, Cd 48 neg, Lin neg Sca and c-kit pos stem cells were sortrted from Gfi1bfl/fl and Mxcre tg Gfi1bfl/fl mice and analysed. We used...

GFI136N is a coding Single Nucleotide Polymorphism (SNP) in the gene GFI1 that increases the risk for Acute myeloid leukemia (AML) by 60%. It is present in 3-5% of Caucasians and has a prevalence of 12% among AML patients. We generated knockin mice expressing either the human GFI136N variant or the ...

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 c...

Using (conditional) Gfi1 knock-out mice we show that ablation of the transcriptional repressor Gfi1 cures mice from lymphoid leukemia and reduces the expansion of primary human T-ALL xenografts in mice. We find that Gfi1 alters the p53 dependent transcriptional activation of a substantial subset of ...
