Regulation of cell cycle by the novel GATA1/TAL1/Sphingomyelin Synthase 1 (SGMS1) transcriptional axis. Implications for anti-leukemic strategies.

Abstract Sphingomyelin Synthase 1 (gene name: SGMS1) participates in regulation of sphingolipid levels by synthesizing sphingomyelin from ceramide and phosphatidylcholine. Evidence have supported SGMS1's functions in regulating proliferation, cell cycle, cell death and migration. While its functions have begun to be explored, very little is known about upstream regulators.

Abstract Patients with Acute Myeloid Leukemia (AML) subtypes, acute erythroleukemia and acute megakaryocytic leukemia (M6 and M7 AMLs, respectively) have a median survival of only a few months with no targeted effective treatment. Our gene expression analysis using the Cancer Cell Line Encyclopedia and CRISPR screen from DepMap showed that M6/M7 AMLs have high levels of the transcription factor GATA1 and depend on GATA1 for survival.
