Alteration in gene expression of the proto-oncogene c-myc in HL-60 cells is associated with differentiation of these cells. We have studied the steady state levels of c-myc transcripts, the levels of transmethylation metabolites S-adenosylmethionine and S-adenosyl-homocysteine and the methylation pattern of the c-myc gene after treatment of HL-60 cells with the transmethylation inhibitor and granulocytic inducer, 3-deaza-(+/-)-aristeromycin. A transient increase in c-myc RNA levels after 45 min of drug exposure was observed which was accompanied by changes in the ratio of transmethylation metabolites in both whole cells and nuclei. The changes in transmethylation metabolites in whole cells, although compatible with levels frequently associated with hypomethylation of cellular components, caused no changes in methylation of c-myc DNA sequences of the HL-60 cells as detected by HpaII or MspI digestion and Southern blotting.

pubmed:articleTitle
Is there an association between an increase in c-myc RNA steady state levels and c-myc methylation in HL-60 cells treated with 3-deaza-(+/-)-aristeromycin, an indirect inhibitor of methylation?
