Dimethylsulfoxide-induced differentiation and hemoglobin synthesis in tissue cultures of rat erythroleukemia cells transformed by 7,12-dimethylbenz(a)anthracene.

Permanent cell lines from transplantable tumors from 7, 12-dimethylbenz(a)anthracene-induced erythroleukemia of the rat were established. These cell lines maintain their erythroid nature. Erythroid differentiation can be induced by dimethylsulfoxide. This is shown by decrease in cell size, appearance of red and benzidine positive cells, and induced synthesis of four out of six adult globin chains.

Differentiation of Friend virus-induced leukemia cells.

A long-term cultured Friend leukemia cell is able to differentiate along the erythrocytic series following treatment with some substances and that can be demonstrated by a conjugated erythrocyte membrane-specific antibody technique. Differentiation is induced by inhibition of DNA synthesis and by dimethylsulfoxide (DMSO), erythropoietin (EP) and Vitamin B12 (B12), and other agents. The effective substances were divided into 2 groups by the mode of differentiation of Friend cells. A differentiated state continues for several days when cells are re-cultured in the medium without substances. The decreased tumorigenecity of differentiated cells is proved by back transplantation to mice.
