Northern blot analysis using probes specific for each of the human embryonic (epsilon), fetal (gamma), and adult (beta) globin genes indicates that the human lymphoblastoid F-265 cells express the embryonic and fetal globin genes. Unlike the erythroid cell line K562, in which globin RNA levels increase during treatment with hemin in culture, globin RNA levels decrease in F-265 cells in the presence of hemin. This effect is reversible after passage of F-265 cells in fresh medium without hemin. Both the rates of globin RNA synthesis and the presence of DNase I-hypersensitive sites in hemin treated and untreated F-265 cells were investigated to identify the levels at which globin gene expression is controlled.

Objective: To observe the effect of SSd on reversing the malignant phenotype of HepG2 cells and to investigate its mechanism in order to prove that SSd is a new choice to prevent and treat HCC.
Methods: HepG2 cells were cultured and treated by different concentration (0 mg/L, 2.5 mg/L, 5.
The envelope glycoprotein (GP) of lymphocytic choriomeningitis virus (LCMV) is posttranslationally cleaved into two subunits. We show here that this endoproteolytic processing is not required for transport to the cell surface but is essential for LCMV GP to mediate infectivity of pseudotyped retroviral vectors. By systematic mutational analysis of the LCMV GP cleavage site, we determined that the consensus motif R-(R/K/H)-L-(A/L/S/T/F)(265) is essential for the endoproteolytic processing.

Proc Natl Acad Sci U S A
September 1981
In vitro human natural cell-mediated cytotoxicity (NCMC) to K-562, Molt-4, and F-265 cells is inhibited in a dose-dependent manner by mannose 6-phosphate, fructose 1-phosphate and fructose 6-phosphate. This inhibition is not observed with mannose, glucose, fucose, glucose 6-phosphate, mannose 1-phosphate, galactose 1-phosphate, or galactose 6-phosphate. Preincubation of the effector cells, obtained from fresh whole blood, with mannose-6-phosphate, fructose-1-phosphate, or fructose-6-phosphate did not inhibit cytotoxicity, which indicated that these hexose phosphates are not nonspecifically toxic towards the effector lymphocytes.
