Abstract:
Ecotropic viral integration site-1 (EVI-1) has been recognized as one of the dominant oncogenes associated with murine and human myeloid leukemia. Recent clinical studies demonstrated that high EVI-1 expression was an independent negative prognostic indicator of survival in leukemia patients. In addition, gene-targeting studies in mice reveal that Evi-1 is preferentially expressed in hematopoietic stem cells (HSCs) and plays an essential role in proliferation/maintenance of HSCs. Proteins associated with EVI-1, signaling pathways regulated by EVI-1, and downstream mediators of EVI-1 transcriptional regulation have been described and characterized. In this study, we summarize current knowledge regarding biochemical properties and biological functions of EVI-1, which provides a foundation for the development of novel therapeutic strategies.

When the function of certain critical genes, especially those involved in cell cycle regulation and cell growth signaling cascades, gets disrupted, it upsets the cell cycle progression. Such cells with unchecked cell cycles start proliferating uncontrollably and eventually develop into tumors.
