Description
The transcription factor STAT5 plays a critical role in B cell acute lymphoblastic leukemia (B-ALL). How STAT5 mediates this effect is unclear. Here we demonstrate that STAT5 activation cooperates with defects in the pre-BCR signaling components encoded by Blnk, Btk, Prkcb, Nfkb1, and Ikzf1 to initiate B-ALL. STAT5 antagonizes NF-B and IKAROS by opposing regulation of shared target genes. STAT5 binding was enriched at super-enhancers, which were associated with an opposing network of transcription factors, including PAX5, EBF1, PU.1, IRF4, and IKAROS. Patients with high ratios of active STAT5 to NF-B or IKAROS have more aggressive disease. Our studies illustrate that an imbalance of two opposing transcriptional programs drive B-ALL, and suggest that restoring the balance of these pathways may inhibit B-ALL.
