Trib2 expression in granulocyte-monocyte progenitors drives a highly drug resistant acute myeloid leukaemia linked to elevated Bcl2.

Trib2 pseudokinase has oncogenic and tumour suppressive functions depending on the cellular context. We investigated the ability of Trib2 to transform different haemopoietic stem and progenitor cells (HSPCs). Our study identified the granulocyte-macrophage progenitor (GMP) subpopulation as a potent leukaemia initiating cell of Trib2-driven AML .
