Induction of hemoglobin synthesis by downregulation of MYB protein with an antisense oligodeoxynucleotide.
نویسندگان
چکیده
Reduced expression of the proto-oncogene c-myb appears necessary for erythroid differentiation induced by chemical agents and by the natural regulator, erythropoietin (Epo). Treatment of Epo-responsive Rauscher erythroleukemia cells with an anti-sense oligodeoxynucleotide to c-myb in the absence of other inducers downregulated myb protein markedly and caused hemoglobinization of the cells within 48 hours. Epo treatment, which downregulates c-myb in these cells, induced hemoglobinization to the same degree. Epo also induced the appearance of anion transport protein on the plasma membrane, consistent with terminal differentiation. In contrast, antisense c-myb did not induce this erythroid marker. The results are consistent with a role for myb protein in the regulation of hemoglobin synthesis.

In the present study, using anti-sense oligonucleotides the inhibition of expression of the PML protein hasbeen investigated. The anti-sense oligonucleotides were designed against the translation initiation site ofthe PML gene, and their effects were investigated on cellular growth and DNA synthesis. Incubation of normalhuman fibroblast cells with the anti-sense oligonucleotid...

Transfection of a neuroblastoma cell line with expression vectors containing two different segments of human c-myb complementary DNA in antisense orientation yielded far fewer transfectant clones than did the transfection with the identical segments in sense orientation. In cell clones expressing c-myb antisense RNA, levels of the c-myb protein were down-regulated and the proliferation rate was...

متن کاملRole of cAMP-dependent protein kinase (PKA) in opioid agonist-induced mu-opioid receptor downregulation and tolerance in mice.
Studies suggest that acute and chronic opioids can regulate the cAMP-dependent protein kinase (PKA) signaling pathway and that changes in this pathway may be involved in opioid tolerance. In the present study, we examined the role of cAMP-PKA on mu-opioid receptor downregulation and tolerance in mice. Mice were injected intracerebroventricular (i.c.v.) and intrathecal (i.t.) once a day with an ...
متن کاملStimulation of tissue-type plasminogen activator expression by retinoic acid in human endothelial cells requires retinoic acid receptor beta 2 induction.
We previously showed the involvement of retinoic acid receptor alpha (RAR alpha) in the induction of tissue-type plasminogen activator (t-PA) synthesis by RA in human umbilical vein endothelial cells (HUVECs). However, the rather slow onset of this induction of t-PA synthesis suggested an indirect role of RAR alpha. Here, we show that the protein synthesis inhibitor, cycloheximide completely bl...
