    Notes: Human T cells require two discrete signals to initiate their proliferation. In Jurkat T cells the first signal can be provided by the phorbol ester TPA and the second by the calcium ionophore A23187. We have isolated a cDNA from Jurkat T cells representing mRNA induced by TPA but inhibited by simultaneous treatment of the cells with antibody, lectin, or A23187. Sequencing revealed identity of the Jurkat clone to a cDNA, termed ETR101, recently isolated from HL60 promyelocytic leukaemia cells and shown to be an immediate early gene expressed upon TPA stimulation of these cells [Shimizu et al.: J Biol Chem 266:12157, 1991]. The gene is also induced very rapidly upon TPA treatment of Jurkat cells and is superinduced by co-treatment with cycloheximide. The predicted amino acid sequence encoded by ETR101 has weak homology to JunB and JunD, therefore it is of some interest that these three genes share the chromosomal localization, 19p13.2. The divergent effects of TPA treatment upon cell proliferation and differentiation in different circumstances allow some speculation about a possible role for the ETR101 gene product upon cellular differentiation.

    Notes: The role of colony-stimulating factors (CSFs) in regulating the synthesis of thrombospondin 1 (TSP1) by cultured human macrophages is investigated. Macrophage (M)-CSF is shown rapidly and transiently to induce two predominant species of TSP1 mRNA. One of these species was 3.2 kb in size and appeared to be specific to M-CSF-stimulated macrophages. Adherent M-CSF-treated macrophages are also shown to express abundant surface cell-associated TSP rapidly when examined by indirect immunofluorescence staining. Granulocyte-macrophage (GM)-CSF induced TSP1 mRNA at a later time point, and this was attributable to the effects of endogenous M-CSF induced by the GM-CSF; the GM-CSF-treated cells did not display surface-associated TSP after 3 hr of treatment. Analysis of the TSP1 protein synthesised by the M-CSF-treated macrophages revealed the expected trimeric form of the molecule. In addition, an unidentified 95-kDa protein was found to be covalently associated with immunoreactive TSP1, and this appeared to be specific to the macrophages as it was not found in TSP1 precipitated from other cell types. It is suggested that the induction of TSP1 by M-CSF may play an important role in the major physiological functions of macrophages. © 1995 Wiley-Liss, Inc.
