Figure 7. Model of APL development in Ctsg-PML-RARA mice.

Figure 7

Murine APL requires the expression of PML-RARA in a multipotent progenitor, and cooperation of PML-RARA with myeloid restricted elements; expression of PML-RARA within promyelocytes is insufficient to cause leukemia. Orange ellipses indicate compartments with expression of the indicated genes used to direct expression in transgenic models. Red arrows indicate inappropriate self-renewal resulting from Ctsg-PML-RARA expression. Broken arrows indicate that multiple differentiation steps exist between indicated compartments. SLAM: lineage negative/Kit+/Sca-1+/CD150+/CD41/CD48. KLS: c-Kit+/lineage negative/Sca-1+. Pro: promyelocyte. PMN: polymorphic neutrophil. Concept after Lane and Ley [28].
