Induction of nuclear lamins A/C during in vitro-induced differentiation of F9 and P19 embryonal carcinoma cells.

Lamin B is the major constituent of the nuclear lamina of undifferentiated mouse embryonal carcinoma cells. The full complement of the three major lamins A, B, and C, found in somatic mammalian cells, is acquired after induction of differentiation in vitro by certain drugs. In this study we have examined the time course of lamin A/C expression in the two embryonal carcinoma cell lines F9 and P19. We show here that lamins A/C are detectable in these cell lines, at the mRNA level and at the protein level, after 3 days of growth in media containing retinoic acid or retinoic acid + 3-isobutyl-1-methylxanthine. The data reported here indicate that the expression of lamins A/C is mainly regulated at the transcriptional level and occurs when the cells, by morphological and functional criteria, have differentiated along their developmental pathway.[1]
