## Abstract Various N‐substituted polymethylene diamides were synthesized and tested for their potency to induce erythroid differentiation in murine erythro‐leukemia cells. N,N,N′,N′‐tetramethyl‐1.6‐hexane‐dicarboxamide (IIc) was the most potent inducer among 15 compounds tested. The effectiveness

Abstract
Exposure of murine leukemia cells in culture to bis‐acetyl‐diaminopentane (BADP) caused erythroid maturation as measured by the accumulation of hemoglobin in treated cells. The appearance of differentiated cells in cultures exposed to BADP occurred 18 to 20 hours earlier than in those treated with dimethylsulfoxide (DMSO), a standard inducer of differentiation in this system. Studies with [^3^H]BADP indicated the occurrence of relatively rapid association of the inducer with cells, and subsequent linear accumulation. Fractionation of cellular components and measurement of radioactivity from BADP therein demonstrated that this agent preferentially associates with a fraction enriched for plasma membrane. In addition, [^3^H]BADP was capable of binding to the plasma membrane‐enriched fraction isolated from murine erythroleukemia cells as measured by gel filtration. These findings support the concept that interaction of inducers of murine erythroleukemia differentiation such as BADP with components of the surface membrane may be important in the cascade of events that lead to the erythroid maturation of these leukemic cells.

## Abstract We studied the effects of differentiation‐inducers on the integrin profile and adhesive properties of K562 leukemia cells. The fibronectin (Fn) receptor integrin, α~5~β~1~, was the only integrin expressed in suspension cultured K562 cells. When the cells were exposed to 12‐O‐tetradecano
In a previous study we reported that ribosomal protein S5 gene is suppressed in differentiating and not in proliferating or apoptotic murine erythroleukaemia (MEL) cells (Vizirianakis et al., 1999).

We found that over-expression of PU.1, a member of the ets family of transcription factors, induces apoptotic cell death along with differentiation of DMSO stimulation in murine erythroleukemia (MEL) cells.

Mast cells are found in the brain of many species. Although a considerable body of information is available concerning the development and differentiation of peripheral mast cells, little is known about brain mast cells. In the present study, the ontogeny of mast cells in the dove brain was followed
