Recent studies have suggested that one of the polycomb group genes, BMI-1, has an important role in the maintenance of normal and leukemic stem cells by repressing the INK4a/ARFlocus. Here, we quantitatively examined BMI-1 expression level in samples from patients with acute myeloid leukemia (AML) and other hematologic malignancies. Moderate to high BMI-1 expression was detected in AML patients, and the BMI-1 expression levels in AML samples were significantly higher than in normal bone marrow controls (P =.0011). Specimens of French-American-British classification subtype MO showed higher relative expression of the BMI-1 transcript (median, 390.2 X 10(-3)) than the other subtypes (median, 139.0 X 10-3) (p
