The t(8;21)-encoded AML1-ETO chimeric product is believed to be
causally involved in up to 15% of acute myelogenous leukemias through
an as yet unknown mechanism. To directly investigate the role of
AML1-ETO in leukemogenesis, we used gene targeting to create an
AML1-ETO "knock-in" allele that mimics the t(8;21). Unexpectedly, embryos heterozygous for AML1-ETO
(AML1-ETO/+) died around E13.5 from a complete absence of
normal fetal liver-derived definitive hematopoiesis and lethal
hemorrhages. This phenotype was similar to that seen following
homozygous disruption of either AML1 or
CBF . However, in contrast to AML1- or
CBF -deficient embryos, fetal livers from AML1-ETO/+
embryos contained dysplastic multilineage hematopoietic progenitors
that had an abnormally high self-renewal capacity in vitro. To further
document the role of AML1-ETO in these growth abnormalities, we used
retroviral transduction to express AML1-ETO in murine adult bone
marrow-derived hematopoietic progenitors. AML1-ETO-expressing cells
were again found to have an increased self-renewal capacity and could
be readily established into immortalized cell lines in vitro. Taken together, these studies suggest that AML1-ETO not only neutralizes the
normal biologic activity of AML1 but also directly induces aberrant
hematopoietic cell proliferation.
