In this issue of Cell Stem Cell, Heidel et al. (2012) use genetic and pharmacological approaches to reveal that Wnt/β-catenin signaling is required for leukemic stem cell (LSC) maintenance in chronic myeloid leukemia. They demonstrate that β-catenin inactivation targets imanitib-resistant LSCs in vivo.
在本期《细胞干细胞》中,Heidel 等人(2012)利用遗传和药理学方法揭示了 Wnt/β-catenin 信号通路对于慢性髓性白血病中白血病干细胞(LSC)的维持是必需的。他们证明了β-catenin 的失活可以靶向伊马替尼耐药的 LSCs 并在体内发挥作用。
