We constructed a recombinant plasmid which expresses antisense src RNA in human cells and used it as a tool for investigating the role of pp60c-src in proliferation and differentiation of K562 human leukemia cells. In erythropoietin (EPO)-responsive cells, EPO induces rapid tyrosine phosphorylation of several cellular proteins including EPO receptor (EPOR) although EPOR has no tyrosine kinase domain. Here we show that antisense src RNA expression suppresses pp60c-src synthesis in the recombinant plasmid-transfected K562 cells, reduces the proliferation and inhibits hemoglobin synthesis and glycophorin A expression promoted by EPO in K562 cells. These findings suggest that pp60c-src plays crucial roles in the proliferation and EPO-induced erythroid differentiation of K562 cells.

D004920 Erythropoiesis The production of red blood cells (ERYTHROCYTES). In humans, erythrocytes are produced by the YOLK SAC in the first trimester; by the liver in the second trimester; by the BONE MARROW in the third trimester and after birth. In normal individuals, the erythrocyte count in the peripheral blood remains relatively constant implying a balance between the rate of erythrocyte production and rate of destruction. Erythropoieses
D004921 Erythropoietin Glycoprotein hormone, secreted chiefly by the KIDNEY in the adult and the LIVER in the FETUS, that acts on erythroid stem cells of the BONE MARROW to stimulate proliferation and differentiation.
D006021 Glycophorins The major sialoglycoprotein of human erythrocyte membranes. It consists of at least two sialoglycopeptides and is composed of 60% carbohydrate including sialic acid and 40% protein. It is involved in a number of different biological activities including the binding of MN blood groups, influenza viruses, kidney bean phytohemagglutinin, and wheat germ agglutinin.

D006454 Hemoglobins The oxygen-carrying proteins of ERYTHROCYTES. They are found in all vertebrates and some invertebrates.

D016372 RNA, Antisense RNA molecules which hybridize to complementary sequences in either RNA or DNA altering the function of the latter. Endogenous antisense RNAs function as regulators of gene expression by a variety of mechanisms. Synthetic antisense RNAs are used to effect the functioning of specific genes for investigative or therapeutic purposes. Antisense RNA,Anti-Sense RNA,Anti Sense RNA,RNA, Anti-Sense
