## Abstract Basic fibroblast growth factor (bFGF) is produced by bone marrow stromal cells as well as by normal and leukemic hematopoietic cells. In this study, we examine the direct effects of bFGF on erythroid differentiation in K562 cells in order to determine whether bFGF can promote the expres

Upon appropriate drug treatment, the human erythroleukemic K562 cells have been shown to produce hemoglobin and F-cells. Fetal hemoglobin (Hb F) inhibits the polymerization events of sickle hemoglobin (Hb S), thereby ameliorating the clinical symptoms of sickle cell disease. Ribonucleotide reductase
HeLa cells in monolayer cultures were treated with the following inhibitors of DNA synthesis: mitomycin C, nitrogen mustard, fluorodeoxyuridine, hydroxyurea, arabinofuranosylcytosine and high concentrations of thymidine. The concentration of each inhibitor used was, in most cases, just sufficient to
Transgenic mice expressing hK10 under the keratin K5 promoter display several alterations in the epidermis including decreased cell proliferation, and reduced susceptibility to tumor development. Given that K5 promoter is also active in the epithelial cells of the thymus, we explored the possible al
Telomerase activity provides a mechanism for the unlimited division potential of neoplastic cells. Induced differentiation of these cells was found to be associated with repression of telomerase activity irrespective of the inducing agent. We have employed a series of sublines of human promyelocytic
The pattern of growth, adhesion and protein synthesis in Vero cells submitted to nutritional stress conditions was investigated. The control cells presented a characteristic pattern, with monolayer growth, while the stressed cells presented multilayered growth, with aggregate or spheroid formation w
