Blocking G9a did not affect the cell cytoskeleton or integrin expression of ALL cell lines, and only its depletion reduced slightly F-actin polymerization.
Using a sensitive, isotopic duplex RT-PCR procedure amplifying WT1 or GATA-1 together with beta-actin as the internal control in a single reaction mix, we quantitated the expression of WT1 and GATA-1 mRNA of 16 patients with myelodysplastic syndrome (MDS), 56 with acute myeloid leukemia (AML) and 22 with acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL).
