Gene aberrations of B-cell regulators and growth signal components such as the JAK-STAT pathway are frequently found in B-cell acute lymphoblastic leukemia (B-ALL). EBF1 is a B-cell regulator that regulates the expression of PAX5 and co-operates with PAX5 to regulate B-cell differentiation. Here, we analyzed the function of the fusion protein of EBF1 and JAK2, EBF1-JAK2 (E-J). E-J caused constitutive activation of JAK-STAT and MAPK pathways and induced autonomous cell growth in a cytokine-dependent cell line. E-J did not affect the transcriptional activity of EBF1 but inhibited that of PAX5. Both the physical interaction of E-J with PAX5 and kinase activity of E-J were required for E-J to inhibit PAX5 function, although the detailed mechanism of inhibition remains unclear. Importantly, gene set enrichment analysis using the results of our previous RNA-seq data of 323 primary BCR-ABL1-negative ALL samples demonstrated repression of the transcriptional target genes of PAX5 in E-J-positive ALL cells, which suggests that E-J also inhibited PAX5 function in ALL cells. Our results shed new light on the mechanisms of differentiation block by kinase fusion proteins.
