The 10A1 murine leukemia virus induces tumors that lack lineage-specific markers found on myeloid, T-cell, and B-cell lineages. Either erythroid or multipotent stem cells can have this phenotype; therefore we have used fluorescence-activated cell sorter analysis with either multipotent stem cell markers or markers found on lineage-restricted precursors to differentiate between these two possibilities. The results showed that tumors induced by 10A1 expressed multipotent stem cell markers as well as some lineage-restricted precursor markers. To further study the tumor phenotype, we analyzed total RNAs from 10A1-induced tumors by Northern blotting for c-kit, erythropoietin receptor, and T-cell gamma receptor mRNAs. Most of the tumors contained these mRNAs, which are characteristic of early hematopoietic cells. These results are consistent with the hypothesis that 10A1-induced tumor cells are early multipotent hematopoietic stem cells. Southern blot analysis revealed that 14 of 14 10A1-induced tumor cell DNAs examined contained MuLV integrations into the fli-1 gene. The results strongly suggested that promoter insertion into fli-1 is required for tumor formation.
