Abstract:The myeloid transcription factor CEBPA is crucial for normal differentiation of granulocytes. In addition, genomic mutations and deregulated expression of CEBPA have been reported in specific subsets of patients with acute myeloid leukemia (AML). We here investigated the prognostic significance of CEBPA mRNA, CEBPA protein, and CEBPA function in 105 consecutive de novo AML patients with a particular focus on AML patients with a normal karyotype. We found that the DNA binding activity of CEBPA in normal karyoty… 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.
