MLL encodes a histone methyltransferase that is critical in maintaining gene expression during embryonic development and hematopoiesis. 11q23 translocations encode chimeric MLL fusions that act as potent drivers of acute leukemia. However, it remains unclear what portion of the leukemic genome is un...

The histone methyltransferase mixed lineage leukemia (MLL) is essential to maintain hematopoietic stem cells and is a leukemia protooncogene. Although Hox genes are well-characterized targets of MLL and MLL fusion oncoproteins, the range of Mll-regulated genes in normal hematopoietic cells remains u...

We report the genome wide distribution of H3K79 dimethylation in mouse MLL-AF6 positive leukemias to assess whether this epigenetic mark drives MLL-target gene expression. Examination of H3K79 dimethylation in bone marrow cells from sacrificed terminally ill MLL-AF6 positive leukemic mice. The retr...

MLL-fusions may induce leukemogenic gene expression programs by recruiting the histone H3K79 methyltransferase to MLL-target promoters. We evaluated gene expression changes after cre-mediated loss of Dot1l in leukemia cells obtained from mice injected with MLL-9 transformed lineage negative bone mar...

The MLL gene on chromosome 11 fuses to the AF6 gene on chromosome 6 in a balanced chromosomal translocation that is characetristic of certain adult and pediatric human leukemias. We established a murine leukemia model of MLL-AF6 using the retroviral MLL-AF6 contruct in a bone marrow transplantation ...

In this study we explored the genotype of Infant ALL to detect MLL-cooperating aberrations, hidden to conventional techniques. In order to limit further heterogeneity, we focused on patients carrying the t(4;11) translocation, the most frequent genetic abnormality in Infant ALL. Final aim was to get...

MLL-fusions represent a large group of leukemia drivers, whose diversity originates from the vast molecular heterogeneity of C-terminal fusion partners of MLL protein. While studies of selected MLL-fusions have revealed critical molecular pathways, unifying mechanisms across all MLL-fusions remain p...

We studied the chromatin modification patterns induced by the presence of the MLL-AF9 fusion protein in a model of human hematopoietic stem/progenitor cells (HSPC) transduced with retrovirus expressing MLL-AF9cDNA (HSPC-MA9). Comparative ChIP-seq analysis between HSPC-MA9 and control HSPC, revealed ...

We evaluated gene expression changes in secondary recipient murine leukemia caused by retroviral overexpression of MLL-AF9. We compared wild-type (WT) leukemia cells with mutant leukemia cells after cre-mediated inactivation of a homozygous conditional allele for Ezh2, a component of the Polycomb Re...

The histone 3 lysine 79 (H3K79) methyltransferase Dot1l has been implicated in the development of leukemias bearing translocations that involve the Mixed Lineage Leukemia (MLL) gene. We identified the MLL-fusion targets in a murine MLL-AF9 leukemia model, and conducted epigenetic profiling for H3K7...
