Early T-cell precursor leukaemia (ETP-ALL) is a high-risk subtype of human leukaemia that is poorly understood at the molecular level. Here we report translocations targeting the zinc finger E-box-binding transcription factor ZEB2 as a recurrent genetic lesion in immature/ETP-ALL. Using a conditional gain-of-function mouse model, we demonstrate that sustained Zeb2 expression initiates T-cell leukaemia. Moreover, Zeb2-driven mouse leukaemia exhibit some features of the human immature/ETP-ALL gene expression signature, as well as an enhanced leukaemia-initiation potential and activated Janus kinase (JAK)/signal transducers and activators of transcription (STAT) signalling through transcriptional activation of IL7R. This study reveals ZEB2 as an oncogene in the biology of immature/ETP-ALL and paves the way towards pre-clinical studies of novel compounds for the treatment of this aggressive subtype of human T-ALL using our Zeb2-driven mouse model.
早期T细胞前体白血病（ETP-ALL）是一种人类白血病的高危亚型，在分子水平上人们对其了解甚少。在此，我们报告锌指E盒结合转录因子ZEB2的易位是未成熟/ETP-ALL中反复出现的遗传病变。使用条件性功能获得小鼠模型，我们证明持续的Zeb2表达会引发T细胞白血病。此外，Zeb2驱动的小鼠白血病表现出人类未成熟/ETP-ALL基因表达特征的一些特点，以及增强的白血病起始潜能，并通过IL7R的转录激活激活了Janus激酶（JAK）/信号转导子和转录激活子（STAT）信号通路。本研究揭示ZEB2是未成熟/ETP-ALL生物学中的一种癌基因，并为使用我们的Zeb2驱动小鼠模型对治疗这种侵袭性人类T-ALL亚型的新型化合物进行临床前研究铺平了道路。
