Standard name MARTENS_BOUND_BY_PML_RARA_FUSION
Systematic name M2094
Brief description Genes with promoters occupied by PML-RARA fusion [GeneID=5371] [GeneID=5914] protein in acute promyelocytic leukemia(APL) cells NB4 and two APL primary blasts, based on Chip-seq data.
Full description or abstract Many different molecular mechanisms have been associated with PML-RARalpha-dependent transformation of hematopoietic progenitors. Here, we identified high confidence PML-RARalpha binding sites in an acute promyelocytic leukemia (APL) cell line and in two APL primary blasts. We found colocalization of PML-RARalpha with RXR to the vast majority of these binding regions. Genome-wide epigenetic studies revealed that treatment with pharmacological doses of all-trans retinoic acid induces changes in H3 acetylation, but not H3K27me3, H3K9me3, or DNA methylation at the PML-RARalpha/RXR binding sites or at nearby target genes. Our results suggest that PML-RARalpha/RXR functions as a local chromatin modulator and that specific recruitment of histone deacetylase activities to genes important for hematopoietic differentiation, RAR signaling, and epigenetic control is crucial to its transforming potential.
