title: [Progress of study on relationship between Mcl-1 gene and hematologic malignancies - review].
abstract: Mcl-1 (myeloid cell leukemia-1) is a member of Bcl-2 (B cell leukemia-2) family, which may play an important role in cell apoptosis regulation, occurrence and development of tumors. This paper reviews advance of studies on the function of the mcl-1 gene and MCL-1 protein, the signal transduction pathways (JAK/STAT, MAPK, PI-3K) regulating the expression of mcl-1 gene, and the relationship between mcl-1 gene and hematologic malignancies.
