Description: Acute myeloid leukemia (AML) remains a highly lethal malignancy with limited therapeutic options. Full transformation in AML requires coupling of aberrant molecular events associated with multiple cellular processes. For example, mutation of the FLT-3 receptor tyrosine kinase is frequently observed in AML and drives abnormal proliferation. Signaling from oncogenic FLT-3 phosphorylates the transcription factor C/EBPα and leads to disrupted myeloid differentiation. We are using iTRAQ-based quantitative proteomics approaches to explore divergent signaling downstream of two common FLT-3 mutants, and to monitor remodeling of C/EBPα protein complexes between transcriptionally competent and repressed states. Representative proteomics data and biochemical results will be described, in addition to and methodological improvements in proteomics-related technologies.
