The most common chromosomal translocation in acute promyelocytic
leukemia (APL), t15;17(q22;q21), creates PMLRAR and
RAR PML fusion genes. We previously developed a mouse model
of APL by expressing PMLRAR in murine myeloid cells. In
order to examine the mechanisms by which PMLRAR can initiate
leukemia, we have now generated transgenic mice expressing
PMLRAR m4 and RAR m4, proteins that are unable to
activate transcription in response to retinoic acid.
PMLRAR m4 transgenic mice developed myeloid leukemia,
demonstrating that transcriptional activation by PMLRAR is
not required for leukemic transformation. The characteristics of the
leukemias arising in the PMLRAR m4 transgenic mice varied from those previously observed in our PMLRAR transgenic
mice, indicating that ligand responsiveness may influence the phenotype of the leukemic cells. The leukemias that arose in PMLRAR m4
transgenic mice did not differentiate in response to retinoic acid
therapy. This result supports the hypothesis that a major therapeutic
effect of retinoic acid is mediated directly through the
PMLRAR protein. However, a variable effect on survival
suggested that this agent may be of some benefit in APL even when
leukemic cells are resistant to its differentiative effects.
Transgenic mice expressing high levels of RAR m4 have
not developed leukemia, providing evidence that the PML domain of
PMLRAR plays a specific and critical role in the
pathogenesis of APL.
