Sustained CUX1 loss is required for the development of t-MNs. Restoration of CUX1 prevents t-MNs. (A) Mutational burden in primary samples from patients with CUX1-wild type (n = 1731) and CUX1 mutations or deep deletions (n = 35). Samples are from patients with myeloid neoplasms, including AML, MDS, MPN, and MDS/MPN. AACR GENIE Cohort v9.088 (B) Ren and Cux1low mice were treated with Dox and ENU as in Figure 6. One month after ENU, Dox was removed and CUX1 expression restored in a cohort of Ren (n = 6) and Cux1low (n = 7) mice (dashed lines). A cohort of Ren (n = 3) and Cux1low (n = 3) mice continued to receive Dox (solid lines). Ren mice were euthanized when Cux1low mice showed signs of disease. (C) RI-RIV erythroid precursor populations quantified as a percentage of erythroblasts in the spleen. The mean ± SD is shown, and P values were calculated using a 2-way ANOVA. (D) Representative images of spleens at autopsy from Ren and Cux1low mice at autopsy. (E) Representative images from Ren and Cux1low spleens stained with H&E are shown; original magnification, ×40. (F) RBC count and RDW from complete blood count analysis at autopsy. The mean ± SD and 1-way ANOVA comparison P values are shown.
