| Research Abstract |
Expression of c-abl, c-fos, c-sis and myc gene family (c-myc, L-myc and N-myc) was examined during 12-O-tetradecanoyl-phorbol-13-acetate (TPA) induced maturation in a newly established human acute megakaryoblastic leukemia cell line (MEG-01), which shows dominant morphological changes and/or productions of cell lineage specific functional proteins after TPA treatment. Upon maturation induction, constitutive expression of c-myc oncogene in the cell line was rapidly decreased and become fairly undetectable within 4 h. The level of c-myc was fully recovered after 24 h in MEG-01 cells, whereas it remained undetectable in NOMO-1 cells, a human acute monoblastic leukemia cell line. C-fos RNA was induced within 15 min after TPA treatment, reached to the maximum transcriptional level in 1 h and thereafter decreased. Expression of c-abl, L-myc and N-myc was detected in neither uninduced nor induced condition. Actinomycin D treatment on TPA-induced cells made no effect on the induced reduction of c-myc expression in MEG-01 cells, whereas the stability of c-myc transcripts in NOMO-1 cells was decreased by the presence of actinomycin D. DNAse I treatment of nucleic DNA of both uninduced and induced cell lines showed that the loss of a single DNAse I hypersensitive site 5' of the c-myc gene was accompanied with reduced c-myc expression in NOMO-1 cells.
