We have previously reported the isolation of several temperature-sensitive (ts) mutants of F9 cells. Further investigations showed that some mutants were induced to differentiate at non-permissive temperature of cell growth, accompanied by changes in the expression of various genes, whereas others were not. During the differentiation induced by shifting up to the non-permissive temperature, a rapid and transient decrease in both c-myc and p53 mRNA levels and rapid induction of c-jun mRNA were observed. These changes were specific in differentiation-inducible mutants and were not observed in a non-inducible mutant. In both types of mutants, the level of c-myc mRNA decreased in association with growth retardation at the non-permissive temperature. The p53 mRNA, however, showed specific increase in the differentiation-inducible ts mutants. These observations suggest distinct roles for p53 and c-myc from proliferation to differentiation in teratocarcinoma stem cells.

D000818 Animals Unicellular or multicellular, heterotrophic organisms, that have sensation and the power of voluntary movement. Under the older five kingdom paradigm, Animalia was one of the kingdoms. Under the modern three domain model, Animalia represents one of the many groups in the domain EUKARYOTA. Animal,Metazoa,Animalia
D012333 RNA, Messenger RNA sequences that serve as templates for protein synthesis. Bacterial mRNAs are generally primary transcripts in that they do not require post-transcriptional processing. Eukaryotic mRNA is synthesized in the nucleus and must be exported to the cytoplasm for translation. Most eukaryotic mRNAs have a sequence of polyadenylic acid at the 3' end, referred to as the poly(A) tail. The function of this tail is not known for certain, but it may play a role in the export of mature mRNA from the nucleus as well as in helping stabilize some mRNA molecules by retarding their degradation in the cytoplasm.

D013696 Temperature The property of objects that determines the direction of heat flow when they are placed in direct thermal contact. The temperature is the energy of microscopic motions (vibrational and translational) of the particles of atoms. Temperatures
D013724 Teratoma A true neoplasm composed of a number of different types of tissue, none of which is native to the area in which it occurs. It is composed of tissues that are derived from three germinal layers, the endoderm, mesoderm, and ectoderm. They are classified histologically as mature (benign) or immature (malignant).
