Maintenance of hematopoietic stem cells and their potential to give rise to progenitors of differentiated lymphoid and myeloid cells are accomplished by a network of regulatory processes. As a part of this network, the heteromeric transcription factor GA-binding protein (GABP) plays a crucial role in self-renewal of murine hematopoietic and leukemic stem cells. Here, we report the consequences of functional impairment of GABP in human hematopoietic and in leukemic stem/progenitor cells. Ectopic overexpression of a dominant-negative acting GABP mutant led to impaired myeloid differentiation of CD34\(^{+}\) hematopoietic stem/progenitor cells obtained from healthy donors. Moreover, drastically reduced clonogenic capacity of leukemic stem/progenitor cells isolated from bone marrow aspirates of chronic myeloid leukemia (CML) patients underlines the importance of GABP on stem/progenitor cell maintenance and confirms the relevance of GABP for human myelopoiesis in healthy and diseased states.
