Description
Downregulation of the hematopoietic transcription factor PU.1 in PU.1 low acute myeloid leukemia cells (AML) by novel heterocyclic diamidines or PU.1 inhibitors leads to decrease cell proliferation and apoptosis, representing a new therapeutic strategy for AML treatment. These inhibitors induces decreased PU.1 binding on its target sites, as well as deregulation in PU.1 canonical target genes
