Modulation of c-myc gene expression by extracellular stimuli in H4IIE rat hepatoma cells was investigated by Northern blot analysis. Treatment of these cells with phorbol 12-O-tetradecanoate 13-acetate (TPA), insulin and concanavalin A (Con A) resulted in transient accumulation of c-myc transcripts within 2 hours. The induction of c-myc mRNA was dose dependent with similar responses for all three agents. The maximally induced c-myc mRNA levels varied from 5- to 15-fold of the control. Treatment with cycloheximide (10 micrograms/ml) and H7, a protein kinase C inhibitor (20 microM), inhibited this induction, suggesting that c-myc induction by these agents requires protein synthesis and protein kinase C activation.

UI MeSH Term Description Entries
D007328 Insulin A 51-amino acid pancreatic hormone that plays a major role in the regulation of glucose metabolism, directly by suppressing endogenous glucose production (GLYCOGENOLYSIS; GLUCONEOGENESIS) and indirectly by suppressing GLUCAGON secretion and LIPOLYSIS. Native insulin is a globular protein comprised of a zinc-coordinated hexamer. Each insulin monomer containing two chains, A (21 residues) and B (30 residues), linked by two disulfide bonds. Insulin is used as a drug to control insulin-dependent diabetes mellitus (DIABETES MELLITUS, TYPE 1).

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.
