Zusammenfassung
ETV6/RUNX1 (ER) initiates leukemia development but is insufficient to generate overt leukemia by itself. The high number of secondary alterations in these leukemias suggests that DNA damage response is attenuated by the fusion gene, an assumption that is supported by microarray data from primary ALL. Based on its central role as guardian of genomic integrity, we focused on p53 and its regulation by ER. While transient transfection of ER in LNCaP cells resulted in reduced phosphorylation of ATM and its downstream target p53 upon treatment with the DNA-damaging agent VP16, reporter assays indicated that p53 direct…
