The E2A-PBX1 gene fusion is a common translocation in B-cell acute lymphoblastic leukaemia. Patients harbouring the E2A-PBX1 fusion gene typically exhibit an intermediate prognosis. Furthermore, minimal residual disease has unsatisfactory prognostic value in E2A-PBX1 B-cell acute lymphoblastic leukaemia. However, the mechanism of E2A-PBX1 in the occurrence and progression of B-cell acute lymphoblastic leukaemia is not well understood. Here, we mainly review the roles of E2A and PBX1 in the differentiation and development of B lymphocytes, the mechanism of E2A-PBX1 gene fusion in B-cell acute lymphoblastic leukaemia, and the potential therapeutic approaches.
E2A-PBX1 基因融合是 B 细胞急性淋巴细胞白血病的常见易位。携带 E2A-PBX1 融合基因的患者通常表现出中等预后。此外,微小残留病在 E2A-PBX1 B 细胞急性淋巴细胞白血病中的预后价值并不理想。然而,E2A-PBX1 在 B 细胞急性淋巴细胞白血病发生和进展中的机制尚不清楚。在这里,我们主要综述 E2A 和 PBX1 在 B 淋巴细胞分化和发育中的作用、E2A-PBX1 基因融合在 B 细胞急性淋巴细胞白血病中的作用机制以及潜在的治疗方法。
