title: Selection and characterization of an erythroeosinophilic subclone (LAMA-87) and an eosinophilic subclone (LAMA-88) from the multipotential cell line LAMA-84.
abstract: The human leukemic cell line LAMA-84 was established and characterized as an erythromegakaryocytic cell line. In the present study we show that these cells can differentiate in estrone-treated athymic mice and give rise to an erythroeosinophilic cell line (LAMA-87). This new cell line expressed glycoporin A, alpha beta and gamma globin chain mRNA but also eosinophilic peroxidase. Hemin slightly increased the total hemoglobin production of the cells and phorbol diester (TPA), dimethyl sulfoxide (DMSO) and sodium butyrate (SB) increased the expression of megakaryocytic markers (gpIIb/IIIa complex). When inoculated into non-treated athymic mice, LAMA-87 cells can differentiate to give rise to eosinomonocytic cells (LAMA-88). This new cell line expresses eosinophilic peroxidase, Luxol fast blue stain and synthesizes lysozyme. Depending on the inducer used, LAMA-88 can differentiate along a monocytic lineage (TPA, DMSO, SB and vitamin D3). These three LAMA cell lines should be useful in further studies of the molecular regulation of the pluripotent cell commitment and may provide a model for the understanding of human hematopoiesis.
