## Abstract Actin is an important protein in nucleus and has been implicated in transcription, however, the mechanism of its function in transcription is still not clear. In this article, we studied the role of actin in the regulation of human CSF1 gene transcription. Our results showed that nuclea

Abstract
The hematopoietic stem cell line, Myl‐D7, is maintained by a self‐renewing stem cell population that spontaneously generates myeloid, lymphoid, and erythroid progeny. MS‐5 stromal cells are necessary for the growth of Myl‐D7 cells. One component of the Myl‐D7 cells proliferation activity released by MS‐5 stromal cells was enriched by Q sepharose fractionation and shown to be colony stimulating factor‐1 (CSF‐1) by Western blotting, BAC1.2F5 cell bioassay and inhibition of Myl‐D7 proliferation by CSF‐1 antibody. The requirement of Myl‐D7 cells for CSF‐1 was also demonstrated independently by selecting for rare, stroma‐independent Myl‐D7 mutant clones able to grow without stroma and additional factors. Eighty‐nine stroma‐independent mutant clones were obtained and belonged to two classes. The majority of mutants did not secrete any growth promoting activity. The second, rarer class of mutants releases a factor that stimulates proliferation/survival for up to several months and approximately half of the secretors express high levels of CSF‐1 mRNA. Wild type Myl‐D7 grown with supernatants from the secretor cells retained the stem cell phenotype. These data suggest that CSF‐1 may act as a key factor in stroma‐regulated hematopoiesis and cell–cell interaction. J. Cell. Physiol. 206: 556–562, 2006. © 2005 Wiley‐Liss, Inc.

## Abstract Erythropoiesis requires the stepwise action on immature progenitors of several growth factors, including stem cell factor (SCF), interleukin 3 (IL‐3), and erythropoietin (Epo). Epo is required to sustain proliferation and survival of committed progenitors and might further modulate the
We have previously reported that continuous in vitro passage in the presence of 3T3 feeders of a non-tumorigenic adenoma-derived epithelial cell line, designated PCIAA, resulted in its becoming immortal. At early passage PCIAA was normal diploid, whereas every cell of PCIAA late passage had an isoch
A non-tumorigenic epithelial cell line designated PCIAA, derived from a large pre-malignant colorectal adenoma from a patient with familial polyposis coli (also referred to as hereditary adenomatosis of the colon and rectum) has become immortal in vitro.

Type-2 NF1 deletions spanning 1.2 Mb are frequently of postzygotic origin and hence tend to be associated with mosaicism for normal cells and those harboring the deletion (del(+/-) cells). Eleven patients with mosaic type-2 deletions were investigated by FISH and high proportions (94-99%) of del(+/-
In human ovarian carcinomas, the p53 tumor-suppressor gene is frequently mutated. Interleukin-6 (IL-6) in these tumors is known to stimulate tumor-cell proliferation. In order to evaluate the effect of several p53 phenotypes on the IL-6 promoter activity, the human ovarian wild-type (wt)-p53 cell li
