5-Azacytidine increases the synthesis of embryonic hemoglobin (E2) in murine erythroleukemic cells. 1983

R M Zucker, and D L Decal, and K B Whittington

The addition of 5-azacytidine to erythroleukemic cells which were induced to differentiate with DMSO or BA altered the expression of the hemoglobins. After the addition of 5-azacytidine there was an increase in hemoglobin synthesis especially in the embryonic E2 band. The beta-globin increased in synthesis after 5-azacytidine treatment. The level of hemoglobin synthesis in DMSO-induced cells is less than BA-induced cells while the effect of the 5-azacytidine stimulation was greater with DMSO induction than with BA induction.
