Establishment and characterization of an erythropoietin-dependent subline, UT-7/Epo, derived from human leukemia cell line, UT-7.

چکیده
UT-7 is a human leukemic cell line capable of growing in interleukin-3 (IL-3), granulocyte/macrophage colony-stimulating factor (GM-CSF), or erythropoietin (Epo) (Komatsu et al, Cancer Res 51:341, 1991). To study the effect of Epo on proliferation and differentiation of UT-7, we maintained the UT-7 cell culture for more than 6 months in the presence of Epo. As a result, a subline, UT-7/Epo, was established. The growth of UT-7/Epo could be supported by Epo but not by GM-CSF or IL-3. UT-7/Epo showed a greater level of heme content and ratio of benzidine-positive staining cells than did UT-7. Butyric acid promoted the synthesis of hemoglobin in UT-7/Epo, but not UT-7. Further, the mRNA concentrations of the c-myb oncogene and GM-CSF receptor beta-subunit were decreased substantially in UT-7/Epo cells. These findings showed that UT-7/Epo cells had progressed further in erythroid development than UT-7 cells, and suggested that long-term culture in Epo had promoted this differentiation. Whereas availability of the Epo receptor (Epo-R) for binding of Epo was reduced in UT-7/Epo cells compared with UT-7 cells, the Epo-R showed a similar affinity for Epo. This observation suggested that change(s) in postreceptor signaling step might be involved in the establishment and maintenance of the UT-7/Epo phenotype.

Thrombopoietin (TPO) acts on megakaryopoiesis and erythropoiesis in vitro and in vivo. We isolated a novel subline, UT-7/GMT, from the human leukemia cell line UT-7/GM (N. Komatsu, et al., Blood, 89: 4021-4033, 1997). A small population of UT-7/GM cells positively stained for hemoglobin (Hb) after a 7-day exposure to TPO. More than 50% of TPO-treated UT-7/GMT cells positively stained for Hb. Us...

UT-7 is a human megakaryoblastic leukemia cell line with nuclei. These findings indicate that UT-7/GM is a bipotential cell line that can be induced to differentiate into erythroid absolute dependence on interleukin-3, granulocyte-macrophage colony-stimulating factor (GM-CSF), or erythropoietin and megakaryocytic lineages by EPO and TPO, respectively. Moreover, a minority of UT-7/GM cells acqui...
