Abstract Activation-induced cytidine deaminase (AID, encoded by Aicda) plays a key role in somatic hypermutation and class switch recombination in germinal center B cells. However, off-target effects of AID are implicated in human leukemia and lymphoma. A mouse model of precursor B cell acute lymphoblastic leukemia driven by deletion of the related transcription factors PU.1 and Spi-B revealed C->T transition mutations compatible with being induced by AID.
Abstract B cell acute lymphoblastic leukemia (B-ALL) is the most prevalent type of cancer in young children and is associated with high levels of reactive oxygen species (ROS). The antioxidant N-acetylcysteine (NAC) was tested for its ability to alter disease progression in a mouse model of B-ALL. Mb1-CreDPB mice have deletions in genes encoding PU.1 and Spi-B in B cells and develop B-ALL at 100% incidence.
