Effects of thymidine and phorbol 12-myristate 13-acetate on erythroid differentiation of K562 cells and their sensitivity to nonspecific lysis by rat splenocytes

Induction of hemoglobin synthesis in K562 cells by thymidine (2 mM)in vitro did not significantly enhance major histocompatibility complex antigen-unrestricted lysis of splenocyte-exposed K562 cells. Inhibition of thymidine-induced hemoglobin synthesis by simultaneous incubation of cells with thymid...

Description
Summary:Induction of hemoglobin synthesis in K562 cells by thymidine (2 mM)in vitro did not significantly enhance major histocompatibility complex antigen-unrestricted lysis of splenocyte-exposed K562 cells. Inhibition of thymidine-induced hemoglobin synthesis by simultaneous incubation of cells with thymidine and phorbol 12-myristate 13-acetate (100 nM) decreased cytolytic activity of splenocytes against K562 cells. Preincubation of tumor cells with phorbol ester alone did not affect major histocompatibility complex antigen-unrestricted lysis induced by rat splenocytes but decreased the basal level of hemoglobin synthesis.[PUBLICATION ABSTRACT]
