GATA-1, Transcriptionally, and Thrombopoietin-Mediated Akt Activation, Post-Translationally, Regulate Continuous Expression of Bcl-xL Protein during Megakaryopoiesis.
Abstract:Thrombopoietin (TPO) plays a relevant role for megakaryocyte differentiation from stem cells. One of the important biological activities of TPO is to prevent the apoptosis of megakaryocytic cells. As an anti-apoptotic protein Bcl-xL, which has been proved to be indispensable for erythroid differentiation, is also abundantly expressed in megakaryocytes, it is assumed that Bcl-xL plays an important role for megakaryopoiesis. We thus investigated the expression of Bcl-xL during megakaryopoiesis and the underlying… 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.
