BASP1 and B-cell chronic lymphocytic leukemia: Other findings, reporting the frequent down-regulation of BASP1 expression in ALL (acute lymphocytic leukaemia) and CLL (chronic lymphocytic leukaemia) (Yeoh et al. 2002; Wang et al. 2004), as well as apoptosis-induced cleavage of BASP1 and its subsequent translocation to the cytoplasm (Ohsawa et al. 2008), again highlight the importance of BASP1 in transcription regulation.
