Induction of hemoglobin synthesis in original K 562 cell line. 1981

J E Fuhr, and E G Bamberger, and C B Lozzio, and B B Lozzio

Cells of the original human myelogenous leukemia cell line, K 562 were induced to synthesize hemoglobin by incubation with 0.05 mM hemin. Analysis by isoelectric focusing indicated major bands in the region of hemoglobin F, Bart's hemoglobin, and embryonics. Cytochemical analysis by the Lepehene peroxidase reaction for hemoglobin indicated an heterogeneous population of cells with respect to hemoglobin induction. Approximately 50% of the cells were positive for hemoglobin. The benzidine-positive material was present as granules in the region of the Golgi apparatus of large blasts with undifferentiated nuclei. There was no indication of normal maturation or of terminal differentiation into reticulocytes or erythrocytes.

D005319 Fetal Hemoglobin The major component of hemoglobin in the fetus. This HEMOGLOBIN has two alpha and two gamma polypeptide subunits in comparison to normal adult hemoglobin, which has two alpha and two beta polypeptide subunits. Fetal hemoglobin concentrations can be elevated (usually above 0.5%) in children and adults affected by LEUKEMIA and several types of ANEMIA. Hemoglobin F,Hemoglobin, Fetal

D006454 Hemoglobins The oxygen-carrying proteins of ERYTHROCYTES. They are found in all vertebrates and some invertebrates. The number of globin subunits in the hemoglobin quaternary structure differs between species. Structures range from monomeric to a variety of multimeric arrangements. Eryhem,Ferrous Hemoglobin,Hemoglobin,Hemoglobin, Ferrous
D006455 Hemoglobins, Abnormal Hemoglobins characterized by structural alterations within the molecule. The alteration can be either absence, addition or substitution of one or more amino acids in the globin part of the molecule at selected positions in the polypeptide chains. Abnormal Hemoglobins
