Germline Single-Nucleotide Polymorphism <i>GFI1-36N</i> Causes Alterations in Mitochondrial Metabolism and Leads to Increased ROS-Mediated DNA Damage in a Murine Model of Human Acu... by Jan Vorwerk, Longlong Liu, Theresa Helene Stadler, Daria Frank, Helal Mohammed Mohammed Ahmed, Pradeep Kumar Patnana, Maxim Kebenko, Eva Dazert, Bertram Opalka, Nikolas von Bubnoff, Cyrus Khandanpour

“…<b>Methods</b>: We pursued this question in a murine model of human AML by knocking in human <i>GFI1-36S</i> or <i>GFI1-36N</i> variant constructs into the murine <i>Gfi1</i> gene locus and retrovirally expressing <i>MLL-AF9</i> to induce AML. <b>Results</b>: Following the isolation of leukemic bone marrow cells, we were able to show that the <i>GFI1-36N</i> SNP in our model is associated with enhanced oxidative phosphorylation (OXPHOS), increased ROS levels, and results in elevated γ-H2AX levels as a marker of DNA double-strand breaks (DSBs). …”
