Lymphoblasts from roughly 20% of B cell precursor ALL patients express the TSLP receptor.
TSLP triggers proliferation and JAK/STAT-mediated gene regulation in TSLPR+ BCP-ALL cells.
TSLPR inhibition represses proliferation and STAT activity in TSLPR+ BCP-ALL cells.
Blockade of the TSLPR is a potential therapeutic option for a subset of BCP-ALL patients.
