Expression of the soluble lectin L-14 is low in normal and very high in transformed thyroid cells. We show that L-14 gene expression is transiently induced upon thyrotropin stimulation of normal quiescent FRTL-5 rat thyroid cells. Permanent activation of L-14 gene expression is obtained in the same cells infected with a wild-type and a temperature sensitive mutant of Kirsten murine sarcoma virus, both at the permissive and non permissive temperature for transformation. We also find that L-14 mRNA is undetectable in rat brain but is abundant in rat oligodendrocytes precursors transformed by polyoma middle T oncogene. Retinoic acid treatment of these transformed cells leads to acquisition of a differentiated phenotype accompanied by a 30-fold decrease of L-14 mRNA levels. Removal of retinoic acid restores both the transformed undifferentiated phenotype and high L-14 expression. Taken together these results indicate that growth stimulation and induction of cell differentiation are accompanied by strong modulation of L-14 gene expression.
