In mouse models of MLL-driven leukemia (left panel), Watson et al. show heterozygous deletion of Atg5 gene increases leukemogeneisis, whereas loss of both alleles is deleterious for leukemic cells. In human hematopoiesis (right panel), the more differentiated myeloid hematopoietic cells represses autophagic flux. However, in human leukemic cells, there is copy-number loss of chromosomal regions that encode a number of autophagy genes, and this occurs more frequently than might be expected by chance alone. That raises the possibility that that decreased autophagy flux, as a result of haploinsufficiency of autophagy genes, might contribute to the development of acute myeloid leukemia
