Insertional mutagenesis as a route to identifying genes involved in self renewal of haemopoietic stem cells.

The genes controlling self renewal in the haemopoietic system are still unknown. Using retroviral insertional mutagenesis we have established multipotent haemopoietic stem cell lines (FDCP-mix) that possess an increased self renewal capacity in vitro. To identify genes involved in the regulation of self renewal, proviral integration sites were cloned from FDCP-mix cells and used as probes to screen independently isolated FDCP-mix cell lines for a common proviral insertion site. So far, two common integration sites have been identified, A25 and M4. A25 is rearranged in 50% of the FDCP-mix cell lines and M4 in 10%. Genes located at or near these sites are likely candidates for the control of self renewal of haemopoietic stem cells.[1]
