摘要：Previous studies demonstrated that 12-O-tetradecanoyl-phorbol-13-acetate (TPA), a tumor promoter, is a potent inhibitor of inducer-mediated differentiation of murine erythroleukemia cells. Inhibition of cell differentiation was associated with inhibition of cell growth. The present studies, employing a cell line adapted for growth in TPA, demonstrate that inhibition of differentiation is not dependent upon inhibition of cell growth or a change in the cell division cycle; neither is inhibition of differentiation accompanied by detectable effect on cell uptake of [3H]hexamethylene bisacetamide, the inducer used in these studies. TPA causes an inhibition of expression of all hexamethylene bisacetamide-inducible erythroid characteristics measured, including commitment to terminal cell division, accumulation of globin mRNA, and synthesis of globins, spectrin, heme synthetic enzymes (delta-aminolevulinic acid dehydratase and uroporphyrinogen-I synthase) and heme. A hypothetical model for the inhibitory action of tumor promoters on terminal cell differentiation is discussed.
