Identification of genome wide Hoxa9 binding sites in primary murine and human AML cells

Relative overexpression of HOXA9 is a key feature of aggressive AML (acute myeloid leukemia). Here we determined genome wide binding sites of Hoxa9 in primary murine cells transformed by Hoxa9 and in a human AML cell line. In addition global H3K4 monomethylation and H3K27acetylation levels were determined in cells transformed by an inducible Hoxa9-ER construct in Hoxa9-active conditions and 72h after Hoxa9 was inactivated.
