Abstract:
The role of the transcription factor CCATT/enhancer binding protein alpha (C/EBPalpha) as a lineage instructive determinant in myelopoiesis is widely accepted. Furthermore, early mutational events ultimately leading to acute myeloid leukemia (AML) often involve abrogation of C/EBPalpha expression and/or function. The main focus of this review is the progression from a preclinical state to AML, and which preleukemic cell population(s) might-in general and in particular in patients with CEBPA mutations-be a target for the secondary genetic and epigenetic events leading to this progression.
