In contrast to NANOG-mediated repression of MIR17HG in HL-60 our gene expression data have shown that AML cell line NOMO-1 shared elevated transcript levels of MIR17HG with chronic myeloid leukemia (CML) cell line K-562 (Fig 5B). Here, NANOG is linked to chronic myelogenous leukemia, BCR-ABL1 positive.
