K562 human erythroleukemia cells demonstrate commitment.
Commitment, ie, the decision to express a differentiated phenotype and to terminate proliferation irreversibly in the absence of inducer, was investigated in K562 human erythroleukemia cells. Cells were cultured for 0, 1, 2, 3, or 4 days with inducer and then plated in medium containing methylcellulose without inducer. Daily after plating, hemoglobin content was scored by benzidine staining, an...
متن کاملRegulation of intracellular iron distribution in K562 human erythroleukemia cells.
Following a pulse with 59Fe-transferrin, K562 erythroleukemia cells incorporate a significant amount of 59Fe into ferritin. Conditions or manipulations which alter the supply of iron to cells result in changes in the rate of ferritin biosynthesis with consequent variations in the size of the ferritin pool. Overnight exposure to iron donors such as diferric transferrin or hemin increases the fer...
متن کاملSpecific globin mRNAs in human erythroleukemia (K562) cells.
Specific globin mRNA accumulation was quantitated in several lines of K562 cells in the absence and the presence of hemin. Using specific cloned DNA probes, the amounts of zeta, alpha, epsilon and gamma mRNAs were shown to be increased 2-3-fold in the presence of 20 microM hemin. No delta- or beta-globin mRNAs were detectable in any of the lines. In one line, Bos, there was a marked decrease in...
متن کاملStable transfer and expression of exogenous human globin genes in human erythroleukemia (K562) cells.
To study the expression of globin genes in human cells, human epsilon-globin genes were transferred into a K562 cell line, Bos, which synthesizes very low amounts of epsilon-globin mRNA. A plasmid (pSV2neo-epsilon) containing a complete epsilon-globin gene and 2 kilobases (kb) of 5' flanking DNA as well as a neomycin-resistance gene and a simian virus 40 origin of replication was transfected in...
متن کاملInhibitors of cell division reversibly modify hemoglobin concentration in human erythroleukemia K562 cells.
The human leukemia K562 cell line can be induced by 20 micro M hemin to reversibly accumulate embryonic and fetal hemoglobins without any change in the rate of cell division. When we reduced the rate of cell division by glutamine starvation or addition of hydroxyurea, the cells increased by tenfold the basal hemoglobin level of 0.3-0.5 pg Hb/cell. The combined effects of hemin and inhibitors of...
