Description

General description

The BMI1 protein is a member of the polycomb group (PcG) proteins. PcG proteins form multiprotein complexes that function as transcriptional repressors. Several lines of evidence implicate BMI1 in tumorigenesis. BMI1 cooperates with c-Myc in the generation of lymphomas in double transgenic mice. BMI1 blocks senescence and immortalizes mouse embryo fibroblasts, although not human fibroblasts, and in combination with an activated H-ras gene, leads to neoplastic transformation. The BMI1 gene is amplified in certain mantle cell lymphomas and is overexpressed in a subset of non-small cell lung cancer, colorectal carcinomas, multiple myelomas and medulloblastomas, but not glioblastomas. The transformation of human hematopoietic progenitor cells by the oncogenic fusion protein E2a-Pbx1 requires BMI1.
