Abstract:
Transcription factors play a key role in the commitment of hematopoietic stem cells to differentiate into specific lineages [78]. This is particularly important in that a block in terminal differentiation is the key contributing factor in acute leukemias. This general theme of the role of transcription factors in differentiation may also extend to other tissues, both in terms of normal development and cancer. Consistent with the role of transcription factors in hematopoietic lineage commitment is the frequent finding of aberrations in transcription factors in AML patients. Here, we intend to review recent findings on aberrations in lineage-restricted transcription factors as observed in patients with acute myeloid leukemia (AML).
