Description
HOTAIRM1 is a long intergenic non-coding RNA located in the human HOXA gene cluster, with gene expression highly specific for maturing myeloid cells, particularly during all-trans retinoic acid (ATRA) induction of granolopoiesis in NB4, a human t(15;17) acute promyelocytic leukemia (APL) cell line. We sought to assess the impact of HOTAIR knockdown on the global programme of gene expression underlying the granulocytic maturing process in NB4 cells.
