| abstractText | ETR103 cDNA was cloned as an immediate early gene in the course of macrophagic differentiation of HL-60 cells stimulated by TPA (12-O-tetradecanoylphorbol-13-acetate). The induction by TPA was immediate-early (within 30 min) and transient. This gene was not induced by vitamin D3 or by retinoic acid, which stimulates differentiation of HL-60 cells to the monocytic or granulocytic lineage, respectively. The ETR103 mRNA was induced by TPA in lymphoid or myeloid leukemia cell lines of several maturation stages. The induction by TPA seems to proceed by a protein kinase C-mediated mechanism, on the basis of the results obtained by using protein kinase C inhibitor (H-7), protein kinase C activator (diC8), and an activator of protein kinase A (dibutyryl cAMP). Okadaic acid, an inhibitor of protein phosphatases, also induced the ETR103 mRNA expression. The nucleotide sequence of the ETR103 cDNA reveals that ETR103 encodes a human zinc finger-containing transcription factor identical to Egr-1 and 225, which is homologous to mouse Egr-1, Zif/268, Krox-24, and TIS8, or to rat NGFI-A. |
