Description
From preliminary experiments, HSP70 deficient MEF cells display moderate thermotolerance to a severe heatshock of 45.5 degrees after a mild preshock at 43 degrees, even in the absence of hsp70 protein. We would like to determine which genes in these cells are being activated to account for this thermotolerance.

Description
Differentiation of hematopoietic stem cells (HSCs) is regulated by a concert of different transcription factors (TFs). A disturbed function of TFs can be the basis of (pre)malignancies such as myelodysplastic syndrome (MDS) or acute myeloid leukemia (AML). Growth Factor Independence 1b (Gfi1b) is a repressing TF with a key role in quiescence of HSCs and emergence and maturation of erythrocytes and platelets. Here, we show that low expression of GFI1B in blast cells is associated with inferior prognosis of MDS and AML patients. Using mouse models with either reduced expression or conditional deletion of Gfi1b, crossed with a mouse model reflecting human MDS or AML, we demonstrate that AML development was accelerated with heterozygous loss of Gfi1b, and latency was further decreased when Gfi1b was conditionally deleted. Loss of Gfi1b significantly enhanced stemness of leukemic cells with upregulation of genes fundamentally involved in leukemia development. On a molecular level, we found that loss of Gfi1b not only increased the levels of reactive oxygen species (ROS) but also induced gene expression changes of key AML pathways such as the p38/AKT pathway. These results demonstrate that Gfi1b functions as an oncosuppressor in MDS/AML development.

Description
To understand the underlying cause for the observed apoptosis in E2f1-3 deficient myeloid cells. We compared gene expression profiles of Cd11b+ sorted myeloid cells isolated from bone marrow of control (E2F1-/- ) and experimental (Mxcre;E2F1-/-2-/-3f/f ) mice.
Publication Title
E2f1-3 are critical for myeloid development.
