Ectopic expression of MYC and BCL2 induced lymphoid leukemia, whereas the MYC/SOX4 combination exclusively induced myeloid leukemia (Figure 6—figure supplement 1B), suggesting that BCL2 confers relatively stronger survival advantages in the lymphoid lineage than in the myeloid lineage in vivo, while SOX4 does in the myeloid lineage. This evidence concerns the gene BCL2 and myeloid leukemia.
