Prost et al. showed that PPARγ agonist, pioglitazone, can purge the residual CML LSC pool by downregulating expression of STAT5 and its downstream targets, Hif2a and Cited2, which are key regulators of the stemness of CML LSCs [25]. Here, STAT5A is linked to chronic myelogenous leukemia, BCR-ABL1 positive.
