abstractText | We analyzed the expression of c-fos and jun family gene in murine pre-B cells developed in the interleukin-7-(IL-7) dependent bone marrow cell culture. The c-fos gene was expressed in the pre-B cells. The c-fos RNA became undetectable after IgM+ B cells were developed in the culture. The c-fos expression in the pre-B cells was IL-7-dependent. However, the c-fos RNA was not induced when the pre-B cells cultured without IL-7 for 6 h were restimulated with IL-7. The expression of c-jun RNA was slightly induced in the restimulated pre-B cells. The junB and junD RNA were the steady state level in the cells. These gene products formed AP-1 molecule in the pre-B cells. These results suggest that the AP-1 plays a role in the IL-7-dependent pre-B cell development. |
