We verified that the inhibition of HCK severely impaired CXCL12-induced migration of leukemic cell lines and CD34 positive cells from AML patients bone marrow, through a disruption of the activation of CXCL12/CXCR4/PI3K/AKT and CXCL12/CXCR4/MAPK/ERK signaling, and by a decreased cytoskeleton dynamic through a lower rate of actin polymerization. Here, HCK is linked to acute myeloid leukemia.
