title: Repression of the 5-lipoxygenase gene by c-myb overexpression in differentiated HL-60 cells.
abstract: This paper reports on the involvement of c-MYB in the regulation of 5-lipoxygenase gene expression during differentiation of human HL-60 cells. We demonstrate that c-MYB binds the 5-lipoxygenase promoter in undifferentiated cells but not in DMSO-differentiated cells. Also, we show that overexpression of c-myb cDNA in differentiated HL-60 cells represses the 5-lipoxygenase gene expression.
