Abstract excerpt
The human erythroleukemic cell line K562 was used as a model for analysis of the mechanisms responsible for alterations in gene expression during differentiation. K562 cells normally synthesize fetal hemoglobin (gamma-globin), but treatment with tumor-promoting phorbol esters (phorbol myristate acetate and tetradecanoyl phorbol acetate) results in the loss of the erythroid phenotype of the cells and causes a...
