Genes and Main Pathways Involved
- The molecular mechanism is not completely understood, but the fusion protein may modulate chromatin organization, HOX-induced differentiation and extracellular signaling pathways associated with leukemogenesis[11]. The fusion of MKL1 to RBM15 deregulates the normal intracellular localization of MKL1 such that it is becomes constitutively localized to the nucleus, resulting in serum response factor (SRF) activation even in the absence of stimuli[12]. SRF is a transcription factor that regulates the expression of genes involved in cell growth, proliferation, and differentiation, as well as genes that control the actin cytoskeleton[13]. Of note, while a RBM15::MKL1 fusion knock-in model mouse showed abnormal megakaryopoiesis, it was not sufficient to induce leukemia[14].
