By comparing the transcriptional profiles of APL cases with those induced by gene mutations or drugs, Chen and collaborators identified a list of at least 15 proteins (i.e., PML, RARA, ABL1, AFF1, BCR, CEBPA, FGFR1, FOS, HDAC3, MEIS1, NPM1, NUP98, PDGFRB, PTEN, and SPI1) potentially able to revert the transcriptional patterns of APL when properly targeted with specific drugs [142]. This evidence concerns the gene NPM1 and acute promyelocytic leukemia.
