Modulation of a number of protooncogene expression occurs during differentiation of eukaryotes. Changes in expression of c-myb and c-myc during the HMBA-induced terminal differentiation of murine erythroleukemia cells were characterized by an early decrease (within 4 hrs), followed by the recovery of c-myc mRNA by 10 hrs, and the retention of suppression of c-myb expression for the rest of the induction period. Two MELC variants were used to further define the relationship between the differentiation and the protooncogene expression. R1 was a MELC variant completely resistant to HMBA, and R1 (VCR), a vincristine resistant R1, became inducible by HMBA again. The cell differentiation and the c-myb and c-myc expression were determined on R1 or R1 (VCR) cultured with HMBA respectively. The results demonstrated that the c-myc mRNA increased and remained relatively high as the cells grew to a saturated density regardless of the induction of differentiation. The R1 (VCR) cultured with HMBA displayed an early decrease in c-myb mRNA and a subsequent suppression of its expression, while the R1 cultured with HMBA showed a stable level of c-myb mRNA. These results suggest that the c-myb expression, rather than c-myc expression, is closely related to the HMBA-induced terminal differentiation.

UI	MeSH Term	Description	Entries
D011519	Proto-Oncogenes	Normal cellular genes homologous to viral oncogenes. The products of proto-oncogenes are important regulators of biological processes and appear to be involved in the events that serve to maintain the ordered procession through the cell cycle. Proto-oncogenes have names of the form c-onc.	Proto-Oncogene,Proto Oncogene,Proto Oncogenes
D002455	Cell Division	The fission of a CELL. It includes CYTOKINESIS, when the CYTOPLASM of a cell is divided, and CELL NUCLEUS DIVISION.	M Phase,Cell Division Phase,Cell Divisions,Division Phase, Cell,Division, Cell,Divisions, Cell,M Phases,Phase, Cell Division,Phase, M,Phases, M
D004351	Drug Resistance	Diminished or failed response of an organism, disease or tissue to the intended effectiveness of a chemical or drug. It should be differentiated from DRUG TOLERANCE which is the progressive diminution of the susceptibility of a human or animal to the effects of a drug, as a result of continued administration.	Resistance, Drug

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.

D016259	Genes, myc	Family of retrovirus-associated DNA sequences (myc) originally isolated from an avian myelocytomatosis virus. The proto-oncogene myc (c-myc) codes for a nuclear protein which is involved in nucleic acid metabolism and in mediating the cellular response to growth factors. Truncation of the first exon, which appears to regulate c-myc expression, is crucial for tumorigenicity. The human c-myc gene is located at 8q24 on the long arm of chromosome 8.
