Malignant transformation induced by cytokine genes: a comparison of the abilities of germline and mutated interleukin 3 genes to transform hematopoietic cells by transcriptional and posttranscriptional mechanisms.

Abstract excerpt

The effects of inheritance of germline (gIL3) and rearranged interleukin 3 (rIL3) genes on the factor dependency and tumorigenicity of a hematopoietic cell line were compared. The rIL3 gene arose after intracisternal type A particle transposition into the 3' untranslated region (UTR). The rlL3 gene efficiently transformed cells. In contrast, factor-independent cell lines were recovered only rarely from...
