Recent observations have demonstrated the expression of several members of the homeobox-containing (HOX) gene complexes within the hematopoietic compartment. We have analyzed the expression pattern of the entire HOX 1 locus in a panel of leukemia-derived human cell lines representing various blood phenotypes. The expression of the eleven HOX 1 genes is lineage-restricted and these genes are predominantly detected within cells of myelomonocytic origin. This is in strong contrast with the erythro-megakaryocytic specific expression of HOX 2 genes. Furthermore, we have observed that the expression of three HOX 1 genes within B lymphoid lineages is stage-related and that the expression of several of them is switched off during TPA-induced differentiation of Kg1 and U937. These observations suggest that HOX 1 homeoproteins could be regulators of lineage determination during hematopoiesis.

D008264 Macrophages The relatively long-lived phagocytic cell of mammalian tissues that are derived from blood MONOCYTES. Main types are PERITONEAL MACROPHAGES; ALVEOLAR MACROPHAGES; HISTIOCYTES; KUPFFER CELLS of the liver; and OSTEOCLASTS. They may further differentiate within chronic inflammatory lesions to EPITHELIOID CELLS or may fuse to form FOREIGN BODY GIANT CELLS or LANGHANS GIANT CELLS.

D002454 Cell Differentiation Progressive restriction of the developmental potential and increasing specialization of function that leads to the formation of specialized cells, tissues, and organs. Differentiation, Cell,Cell Differentiations,Differentiations, Cell
D002460 Cell Line Established cell cultures that have the potential to propagate indefinitely. Cell Lines,Line, Cell,Lines, Cell
D005801 Genes, Homeobox Genes that encode highly conserved TRANSCRIPTION FACTORS that control positional identity of cells (BODY PATTERNING) and MORPHOGENESIS throughout development. Their sequences contain a 180 nucleotide sequence designated the homeobox, so called because mutations of these genes often results in homeotic transformations, in which one body structure replaces another. The proteins encoded by homeobox genes are called HOMEODOMAIN PROTEINS.

D012322 RNA Precursors RNA transcripts of the DNA that are in some unfinished stage of post-transcriptional processing (RNA PROCESSING, POST-TRANSCRIPTIONAL) required for function. RNA precursors may undergo several steps of RNA SPLICING during which the phosphodiester bonds at exon-intron boundaries are cleaved and the introns are excised. Consequently a new bond is formed between the ends of the exons. Resulting mature RNAs can then be used; for example, mature mRNA (RNA, MESSENGER) is used as a template for protein production.
