中文摘要
急性白血病是一种毁灭性的癌症,起源于骨髓中被称为干细胞的原始细胞。我们已经鉴定了一种在白血病干细胞中高度表达的蛋白质(PRMT5)。我们的初步实验表明,用一种新药阻断这种蛋白质的功能可以阻止这些细胞的生长。该项目将使用各种急性白血病小鼠模型来确定PRMT5如何保持干细胞存活,以及这种药物是否会成为一种有价值的新治疗方法。
英文摘要
Acute leukemia is a devastating cancer arising from primitive cells in the bone marrow called stem cells. We have identified a protein (PRMT5) that is highly expressed in leukemia stem cells. Our preliminary experiments suggest that blocking the function of this protein with a novel drug can stop the growth of these cells. This project will use a variety of mouse models of acute leukemia to determine how PRMT5 keeps stem cells alive and whether this drug will be a valuable new treatment.
