Actually, in patients, SCL transcription initiated at promoter 1b is restricted to primitive CD34+CD41- progenitor cells, while it is detectable in both cell subsets from healthy subjects; (iii) the full-length isoform of SCL protein is present in patients' CD34+ cells and in PBMC; in the latter the SCL-expressing cells mainly belong to the MK lineage in which its sublocalization is both nuclear and cytoplasmic, which contrasts with the sole nuclear staining observed in normal MK cells.

The interstitial deletion at 1p32 involving SIL (SCL-interrupting locus)/SCL (stem cell leukemia) is a case involving two non-V(D)J sites that have been suggested to be V(D)J recombination mistakes.

Previous data suggested that CD34 expression may be associated with other poor prognosis factors in AML such as undifferentiated leukemia, secondary AML (SAML), and clonal abnormalities involving chromosome 5 and 7.
In addition, the leukemic cells occurring during blast crisis of one of our patients displayed the typical features of a stem cell leukemia (CD34+, CD19-, CD2-, myeloperoxidase-).
The SCL gene, initially discovered at the site of a translocation breakpoint associated with the development of a stem cell leukemia, encodes a protein that contains the highly conserved basic helix-loop-helix (bHLH) motif found in a large array of eukaryotic transcription factors.

This translocation may identify a gene for which we propose the name SCL (stem-cell leukemia) that is important for hemopoietic development and oncogenesis and that has been disrupted or altered in this stem-cell line.
We have identified the human gene, SCL.We discovered this gene because of its involvement in a chromosomal translocation associated with the occurrence of a stem cell leukemia manifesting myeloid and lymphoid differentiation capabilities.

Indeed, LSCs are highly enriched in CD34+CD38- leukemic cells that exhibit positive aldehyde dehydrogenase activity (ALDH+) on flow cytometry, these LSCs are resistant to currently existing treatments in AML such as cytarabine and anthracycline that, at the cost of great toxicity on normal cells, are highly active against the leukemic bulk, but spare the LSCs responsible for relapse.
Direct confirmation of quiescence of CD34+CD38- leukemia stem cell populations using single cell culture, their molecular signature and clinicopathological implications.
The present study demonstrates that DZNep induces robust apoptosis in AML cell lines, primary cells, and targets CD34(+)CD38(-) leukemia stem cell (LSC)-enriched subpopulations.
SIGNIFICANCE: RHOA activation is a critical event in the progression of BCR-FGFR1-driven leukemogenesis in stem cell leukemia and lymphoma syndrome and is regulated by the BCR GEF domain.
Here, we provide an update on what is currently known on the mechanisms underlying progression and present the latest acquisitions on BCR-ABL1-independent resistance and leukemia stem cell persistence.
Mechanism studies using both pharmacological and genetic approaches demonstrate that these local anesthetics target LSC via inhibiting Wnt/β-catenin but not Hedgehog or NF-ĸB signaling.
Of these genes, HOXA9 has been shown to be critical for leukemia cell survival, while MEIS1 has been identified as an essential regulator for leukemia stem cell (LSC) maintenance.

TRIM62 loss was associated with altered expression of proteins involved in leukemia stem cell homeostasis (β-catenin and Notch), cell motility, and adhesion (integrin-β3, ras-related C3 botulinum toxin substrate [RAC], and fibronectin), hypoxia (Hypoxia-inducible factor 1-alpha [HIF1α], egl-9 family hypoxia-inducible factor 1 [Egln1], and glucose-regulated protein, 78 kDa [GRP78]), and apoptosis (B-cell lymphoma-extra large (BclXL) and caspase 9).
