All-trans retinoic acid (ATRA) induces granulocytic maturation of WEHI-3B D+ leukemia cells and LiCl enhances this maturation, while WEHI-3B D- cells are non-responsive to ATRA. Transfection of SCL, expressed in D- but absent in D+ cells, into D+ cells, caused resistance to ATRA, while transfection of GATA-1 into D+ cells produced resistance to the combination of ATRA and LiCl. SCL expression in D+ cells did not induce the expression of c-Kit, a putative target gene for SCL. LiCl, known to inhibit some kinases by displacing Mg2+, did not affect tyrosine kinase activity of the cytoplasmic domain of c-Kit.
全反式维甲酸(ATRA)可诱导WEHI-3B D+白血病细胞的粒细胞成熟,而氯化锂可增强这种成熟,而WEHI-3B D-细胞对ATRA无反应。将在D-细胞中表达但在D+细胞中不存在的SCL转染到D+细胞中,会导致对ATRA产生抗性,而将GATA-1转染到D+细胞中则会产生对ATRA和氯化锂组合的抗性。D+细胞中SCL的表达并未诱导c-Kit(一种推测的SCL靶基因)的表达。已知氯化锂通过置换Mg2+来抑制某些激酶,但它并不影响c-Kit胞质结构域的酪氨酸激酶活性。
