Knockdown of Zfp521 in BCL1 cell culture reduces viability and promotes apoptosis. Genes expressed in B cells are down-regulated in cells with Zfp521 knockdown. Cyclin D1 expression is increased in mouse tumors with Zfp521 over-expression. Leukemia arises due to the dysregulated proliferation of hematopoietic progenitor cells. Errors in the multi-step commitment process result in excessive numbers of immature lymphocytes, causing malignant disease. Genes involved in the differentiation of lymphocytes are often associated with leukemia. One such gene, Zfp521, has been found to cause B-cell leukemia in mice when over-expressed. The role of Zfp521 in B-cell differentiation, and the mechanisms by which it leads to leukemic transformation, are unclear. In this study we report that Zfp521 knockdown causes apoptosis in a B-cell culture system and promotes down-regulation of genes acting at late stages of B-cell differentiation. We identify Pax5 and cyclin D1 as Zfp521 target genes, and suggest that excessive B-cell proliferation observed in mice with retroviral insertions near the Zfp521 gene is due to an up-regulation of cyclin D1 in B-cells. Overall, these results suggest links between dysregulated Zfp521 and B-cell survival.
