The Friend-virus-derived1mouse erythroleukaemia (MEL) cell lines represent transformed early erythroid precursors that can be induced to differentiate into more mature erythroid cells by a variety of agents including dimethyl sulphoxide (DMSO)2There is a latent period of 12 hours after inducer is added, when 80–90% of the cells become irreversibly committed to the differentiation programme, undergoing several rounds of cell division before permanently ceasing to replicate3,4. After DMSO induction, a biphasic decline in steady-state levels of c-myc5,6and c-myb6messenger RNAs occurs. Following the initial decrease in c-mycmRNA expression, the subsequent increase occurs in, and is restricted to, the Glphase of the cell cycle7. We sought to determine whether the down-regulation is a necessary step in chemically induced differentiation. Experiments reported here indicate that expression in MEL cells of a transf ected human c-mycgene inhibits the terminal differentiation process.
