Summary

Acute lymphoblastic leukemias (ALLs) are characterized by multistep oncogenic processes leading to cell-differentiation arrest and proliferation. Specific abrogation of maturation blockage constitutes a promising therapeutic option in cancer, which requires precise understanding of the underlying molecular mechanisms. We show that the cortical thymic maturation arrest in T-lineage ALLs that overexpress TLX1 or TLX3 is due to binding of TLX1/TLX3 to ETS1, leading to repression of T?cell receptor (TCR) ¦Á enhanceosome activity and blocked TCR-J¦Á rearrangement. TLX1/TLX3 abrogation or enforced TCR¦Á¦Â expression leads to TCR¦Á rearrangement and apoptosis. Importantly, the autoextinction of clones carrying TCR¦Á-driven TLX1 expression supports TLX ¡°addiction?in TLX-positive leukemias and provides further rationale for targeted therapy based on disruption of TLX1/TLX3.
