The p210bcr/abl chimeric protein is implicated in the pathogenesis of Philadelphia chromosome-positive human leukemias. Previously, we generated transgenic mice expressing p210bcr/abl by the metallothionein enhancer/promoter (MT/p210bcr/abl) and observed that these mice reproducibly developed T cell leukemia. In this report, we describe the establishment, characterization, and chromosomal analysis of two novel leukemic cell lines derived from MT/p210bcr/abl leukemic mice. Both cell lines carried the transgene and showed the same gene rearrangement patterns as observed in the parental leukemic cells. Expression, tyrosine-phosphorylation, and enhanced kinase activity of the p210bcr/abl were also detected. RT-PCR/SSCP for p53 transcript revealed that one of the cell lines carried a mutation, in contrast to the normal pattern shown by the parental leukemic cells. In addition, the other cell line showed a karyotype of trisomy 15. These results suggest that the p53 mutation and chromosomal abnormality may confer a proliferative ability on leukemic cells in vitro. These new cell lines are considered to be a valuable model not only for examining the biologic properties of p210bcr/abl but also for investigating the malignant process that promotes the proliferation of the leukemic cells expressing p210bcr/abl. Furthermore, these cell lines could be used in therapeutic studies, including adoptive immunotherapy.

D012333 RNA, Messenger RNA sequences that serve as templates for protein synthesis. Bacterial mRNAs are generally primary transcripts in that they do not require post-transcriptional processing. Eukaryotic mRNA is synthesized in the nucleus and must be exported to the cytoplasm for translation. Most eukaryotic mRNAs have a sequence of polyadenylic acid at the 3' end, referred to as the poly(A) tail. The function of this tail is not known for certain, but it may play a role in the export of mature mRNA from the nucleus as well as in helping stabilize some mRNA molecules by retarding their degradation in the cytoplasm.
