Hox genes in hematopoiesis and leukemogenesis

Argiropoulos, B, Humphries, R K·2007·Oncogene

Abstract

Gene expression analyses, gene targeting experiments and retroviral overexpression studies in the murine bone marrow transplantation model have provided strong correlative evidence for the involvement of clustered Hox genes in normal hematopoiesis. The data strongly support the hypothesis that the role of Hox genes in normal hematopoiesis is primarily at the level of hematopoietic stem cell function. A large body of evidence now links Hox genes to leukemic transformation including dysregulated HOX expression in leukemic patient samples, their involvement as oncogenic fusion proteins with NUP98 and their requirement for the oncogenicity of Mll fusions. In recent years, much attention has been devoted to the identification and characterization of leukemic stem cells. Given the documented role of Hox genes in hematopoiesis and leukemogenesis, we propose that Hox-dependent pathways are closely linked to the self-renewal program crucial to the origin and function of leukemic stem cells.

Recomputing p-values needs the paper’s full text.

Claims the paper makes

This paper’s full text isn’t openly available, so its claims and self-check weren’t run. The registry and citation checks still apply.

Claims other papers make about this one

Each is checked against this paper’s own text: does it say what the citing paper says it does?

  • HOXA9 is frequently overexpressed in human AMLs, notably in patients harbouring the IDH1R132H mutation.

    “The homeobox protein HOXA9 contributes to haematopoiesis and is frequently overexpressed in human AMLs,8 notably in patients harbouring the IDH1R132H mutation.9”

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
