An intracellular activity, which is induced by dimethyl sulfoxide (DMSO) or hexamethylenebisacetamide (HMBA) and leads to erythroid differentiation in mouse Friend cells, was characterized by cell fusion between genetically marked intact cells and cytoplasts. For this, a procedure for rapid selection of cybrids was devised by sensitizing non-fused cells with oligomycin. We were able to demonstrate that cytoplasts derived from DMSO- (or HMBA)-treated cells trigger erythroid differentiation upon fusion with UV-irradiated cells. The activity in the cytoplasts remained only transiently and its induction was inhibited by biologically active phorbol esters or cycloheximide. The activity, however, was not induced in cytoplasts by directly treating them with DMSO (or HMBA). These results indicate that (1) the intracellular erythroid-inducing activity is located in cytoplasts, (2) it acts intransand induces erythroid differentiation as a dominant factor and (3) its production requiresde novonuclear protein synthesis. The mechanisms of the induction of the intracellular activity and of how it triggers erythroid differentiation are discussed.
