SummaryThe acute myeloid leukemia (AML)-associated CBFβ-SMMHC fusion protein impairs hematopoietic differentiation and predisposes to leukemic transformation. The mechanism of leukemia progression, however, is poorly understood. In this study, we report a conditional Cbfb-MYH11 knockin mouse model that develops AML with a median latency of 5 months. Cbfβ-SMMHC expression reduced the multilineage repopulation capacity of hematopoietic stem cells (HSCs) while maintaining their numbers under competitive conditions. The fusion protein induced abnormal myeloid progenitors (AMPs) with limited proliferative potential but leukemic predisposition similar to that of HSCs in transplanted mice. In addition, Cbfβ-SMMHC blocked megakaryocytic maturation at the CFU-Meg to megakaryocyte transition. These data show that a leukemia oncoprotein can inhibit differentiation and proliferation while not affecting the maintenance of long-term HSCs.
