Overview of Gene Research
Npm1, also known as nucleophosmin 1, encodes a multifunctional protein with prominent nucleolar localization that shuttles between the nucleus and cytoplasm [1,2,3,4,5,6,7]. It acts as a histone chaperone and is involved in multiple cellular functions such as ribosome biogenesis, chromatin remodeling, genomic stability, cell cycle progression, and apoptosis [6,7]. Npm1-mutated acute myeloid leukemia (AML) is a distinct entity in the hematopoietic neoplasms classification, as Npm1 mutations are the most common genetic lesion in adult AML, occurring in about one-third of cases [1,3,4,5].
Mouse models of Npm1 mutations have been studied to understand the biological functions of the mutant protein. The Npm1 mutant undergoes C-terminus changes leading to its cytoplasmic delocalization in leukemic cells [6]. Studies have shown that Npm1-mutated cells rely on overexpression of HOX/MEIS1, which is related to the aberrant cytoplasmic localization of mutant Npm1 protein (Npm1c) [3]. This finding may explain the promising response of Npm1-mutated AML to novel agents like menin inhibitors and second-generation XPO1 inhibitors [3].
In conclusion, Npm1 is crucial for normal cellular functions, and its mutation is highly significant in AML. Mouse models of Npm1 mutations have been instrumental in revealing the biological mechanisms underlying Npm1-mutated AML, such as the role of HOX/MEIS1 overexpression, which may guide the development of new therapeutic strategies for this disease [3,6].
