Differentiation of F9 embryonal carcinoma cells induced by the c-jun and activated c-Ha-ras oncogenes.
نویسندگان
چکیده
The activated c-Ha-ras oncogene induced AP1-site DNA-binding activity in F9 cells. This induction appeared to be due, at least in part, to the induction of c-jun transcription. Both activated c-Ha-ras and c-jun induced the differentiation of F9 cells to endoderm-like cells. Thus, AP1 appears to play a key role in the initial stage of F9 cell differentiation.

Changes in c-onc expression during embryonal carcinoma cell differentiation.
Protooncogenes expressed in murine embryonal carcinoma (EC) cells or their differentiated daughter cells include more or less ubiquitously expressed protooncogenes such as c-myc, c-K-ras, and c-abl, as well as c-onc genes with a very restricted expression pattern. Examples of the latter are N-myc, c-mos, and int-2. These c-onc genes are transcriptionally active in EC cells, as well as in germ c...
متن کاملConstitutive expression of c-fos antisense RNA blocks c-fos gene induction by interferon and by phorbol ester and reduces c-myc expression in F9 embryonal carcinoma cells.
To address the role of c-fos proto-oncogene we constructed a plasmid that allows constitutive expression of RNA complementary to c-fos mRNA, and stably introduced this plasmid into F9 embryonal carcinoma cells. Some F9 clones expressing c-fos antisense RNA had a reduced basal level of c-fos mRNA, and were unable to induce a c-fos mRNA as well as its protein when stimulated with phorbol ester or...
متن کاملP-88: Comparing Epigenetic Profile of Oct4 Regulatory Region in Embryonal Carcinoma Cells under Retinoic Acid Induction
Background: Embryonal carcinoma (EC) cells derived from germ cell tumors are valuable tools for investigating differentiation and developmental biology processes in vitro. The advantage of the reproducible and rapid expansion of these cell lines provides a useful alternative to embryos for the study of mammalian cell differentiation. During early stages of cell differentiation, the rate of tran...
متن کاملUndifferentiated F9 embryonal carcinoma cells produce a short-chain collagen molecule.
The undifferentiated F9 embryonal carcinoma cells produce a unique collagen that decreases in amount during retinoic acid-induced differentiation of F9 cells into basement-membrane parietal endoderm. A bacterial-collagenase-sensitive protein of approx. 60,000 Da was resolved on polyacrylamide-gel electrophoresis. After pepsin digestion, two pepsin-resistant fragments containing hydroxyproline w...

HL 60 cells were subcloned into variants with different sensitivities to the differentiation-inducing effect of 1,25 dihydroxyvitamin D3 (1,25(OH)2D3), as shown by increased oxidative and phagocytic activity and the appearance of cytoplasmic alpha-naphthyl butyrate esterase. Brief treatment (4 h) with 1,25(OH)2D3 or 5-azacytidine (5-Aza CR) of sensitive sublines induced monocytic differentiatio...
