Overview of Gene Research
Tcl1, short for T-cell leukemia/lymphoma 1, is a proto-oncogene. It functions as a co-activator of the serine/threonine AKT/PKB kinase, enhancing its activity, and is involved in pathways related to cell proliferation, survival, and energy metabolism [3,4]. Tcl1 is also expressed in totipotent cells of mouse pre-implantation embryos and is among the genes required for maintaining the mitotic self-renewal state of embryonic stem cells, highlighting its importance in early development [1]. Genetic models, such as mouse models, are valuable for studying Tcl1.
In the Eµ-Tcl1 mouse model, a B-cell specific overexpression of human Tcl1 leads to a CLL-like disease with increasing age. This model has been crucial for developing targeted therapies against constitutive B-cell receptor signaling in CLL, though its translatability to human CLL is debated as it lacks the driver mutations found in patients [2]. In T-cell prolymphocytic leukemia (T-PLL), Tcl1 overexpression is a common driver of pathogenesis, and the cooperativity between Tcl1 family members and ATM seems unique to T-PLL among T-cell neoplasms [5].
In conclusion, Tcl1 plays essential roles in cell proliferation, survival, and energy metabolism, and is crucial in early development. Mouse models, like the Eµ-Tcl1 mouse, have significantly contributed to understanding its role in CLL. Tcl1 overexpression is also a key factor in T-PLL pathogenesis, highlighting its importance in lymphoid malignancies.
