Growth and differentiation of a human megakaryoblastic cell line, CMK.
Recently, a human megakaryoblastic cell line, CMK, was established from the peripheral blood of a megakaryoblastic leukemia patient with Down syndrome. Using this cell line, we studied the proliferation and differentiation of megakaryocytic cells in the presence of highly purified human hematopoietic factors and phorbol 12-myristate-13-acetate (PMA). In a methylcellulose culture system, interle...
متن کاملTumor necrosis factor stimulates epithelial tumor cell motility.
Cellular motility is a critical function in embryonic development, tissue repair, and tumor invasion. We used assays of scattering (epithelial colony dispersion), cell migration, and cell invasion to study cytokine-regulated motility in epithelial and carcinoma cell lines. Tumor necrosis factor (TNF) stimulated motility in 12 of 14 cell lines in one or more assay systems. The motility-stimulati...
متن کاملEstablishment of a human megakaryoblastic cell line (T-33) from chronic myelogenous leukemia in megakaryoblastic crisis.
A megakaryoblastic cell line, termed T-33, was established from the peripheral blood of a patient with Philadelphia chromosome-positive chronic myelogenous leukemia in megakaryoblastic crisis. T-33 cells have been maintained in RPMI 1640 medium containing 10% fetal calf serum in a single cell suspension with a doubling time of 24-36 h for over 2 years. Giemsa-banded karyotypes were female hyper...
متن کاملAPRIL, a New Ligand of the Tumor Necrosis Factor Family, Stimulates Tumor Cell Growth
Members of the tumor necrosis factor (TNF) family induce pleiotropic biological responses, including cell growth, differentiation, and even death. Here we describe a novel member of the TNF family designated APRIL (for a proliferation-inducing ligand). Although transcripts of APRIL are of low abundance in normal tissues, high levels of mRNA are detected in transformed cell lines, and in human c...
متن کاملTumor necrosis factor stimulates amino acid transport
Epidemiological evidence and studies in whole animals and cell culture have indicated that carotenoids have cancer chemopreventive action. In mouse C3H1OTI/2 cells, this activity is highly correlated with the ability of carotenoids to up-regulate gap junctional intercellular communication. Here. we report that in mouse cells. carotenoids increase the expression of connexin43. a gene that encode...
