The myelodysplasia/myeloid leukemia factor 1-interacting protein MLF1IP is a novel gene which encodes for a putative transcriptional repressor. It is localized to human chromosome 4q35.1 and is expressed in both the nuclei and cytoplasm of cells. Northern and Western blot analyses have revealed MLF1IP to be present at very low amounts in normal brain tissues, whereas a number of human and rat
glioblastoma
(
GBM
) cell lines demonstrated a high level expression of the
MLF1IP protein
. Immunohistochemical analysis of rat F98 and C6
GBM
tumor models showed that MLF1IP was highly expressed in the tumor core where it was co-localized with MLF1 and nestin. Moreover, MLF1IP expression was elevated in the contralateral brain where no tumor cells were detected. These observations, together with previous data demonstrating a role for MLF1IP in erythroleukemias, suggest a possible function for this protein in glioma pathogenesis and potentially in other types of malignancies.
