Finally, RNA-seq analysis of BCP-ALL cell line RCH-ACV after NKX6-3 knockdown revealed MPP7 as an upregulated target gene of both NKX6-3 and TCF3::PBX1, revealing a role for the HIPPO-pathway in B-cell progenitors and TCF3::PBX1-positive BCP-ALL. Here, PBX1 is linked to acute lymphoblastic leukemia.
