Data from Dysregulated Hematopoiesis Caused by Mammary Cancer Is Associated with Epigenetic Changes and <i>Hox</i> Gene Expression in Hematopoietic Cells
Abstract:<div>Abstract<p>Cancer is associated with immune dysfunction characterized by the presence of proinflammatory and immunosuppressive cells and factors that contribute to tumor growth and progression. Here we show that mammary tumor growth is associated with defects in hematopoiesis, leading to myeloproliferative-like disease (leukemoid reaction), anemia, and disruption of the bone marrow stem/progenitor compartment. The defects we characterized included impaired erythropoiesis, leukocytosis, loss of… Show more
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
