Abstract

Background: GM-CSF signaling is important in establishing and maintaining juvenile/chronic myelomonocytic leukemia (JMML/CMML). Results: The common β chain of GM-CSF receptor (βc) is dispensable for the function of CMML-initiating cells, but βc-/- prolongs the survival of CMML-bearing mice. Conclusion: βc-/- slows down CMML progression but does not abrogate its initiation. Significance: Inhibiting GM-CSF signaling might alleviate JMML/CMML symptoms but would not eradicate the disease.
