ABSTRACT: We studied the temporal changes in gene expression in K562 cells at intervals from 2following induction using differential display polymerase chain reaction and gene expression arraythan 110 cDNA fragments representing 86 unique mRNAs were either up- or downregulated during edifferentiation. Sixty-one of the differentially expressed cDNA fragments had more than 95% homoknown GenBank sequences; 21 represented cDNA sequences with only dbEST or high-throughpscreening database matches. Four fragments had no database matches. Using gene expressiondifferentially expressed genes were observed. Unique expressed sequence tags (ESTs) were usedtwo novel genes from available databases and their tissue expression was examined. Erythroid matinduced K562 cells is associated with differential expression of many genes. Some differentially exclones were transcription factors and 25 expressed fragments with open reading frames were founfunction remains unknown. © 2001 Academic Press

Using differential display polymease chain reaction (ddPCR) and gene exprearrays, we now report a partial profile of gedifferentially expressed during the induction of dferentiation of K562 cells with sodium butyrate. Whave “cloned” two unique genes from public dabases using their differentially displayed ESTsprobes and studied their expression.

At intervals of 2, 4, and 62 3 107 cells were harvested from induced acontrol culture flasks, centrifuged and the pelsnap frozen in liquid N2 and stored at280°C forRNA preparation.

In kinetic studies we used primer cbinations only for cDNA fragments that mighttranscription factors or, that in our original stuies, lacked homology to known genes.
Sequencing amplified gel bands and databsearches.Part of the amplified gel band was usas a template for cycle sequencing (SequithEpicentre Technologies, Madison, WI), usprimer combinations from the initial displaysequencing primers. Some differentiallypressed mRNA could not be sequenced direand were cloned before sequencing (7).
Confirmation of differential gene expressiWe used both semiquantitative PCR and Northanalysis to verify that gene fragments wereferentially expressed. The Titan One Tube RPCR system (Roche) was employed with scially designed nested primers for semiquantive PCR. Nested primers were synthesized asequencing cDNA fragments isolated from diffential display gels and cDNA was amplifiedrectly from total cellular mRNA at each timpoint studied.
Northern blot analysis.Ten micrograms of total RNA was loaded into each lane of a 1% arose-LE gel (Ambion, Austin, TX) and probed w[32P]dATP-labeled cDNA according to the Ge-

Our goal was the discovery oftrans-actingactors that may activateg-globin gene expreion. K562 cells, an erythroid cell line that eresses theg-globin gene when induced to diffentiate by incubation with the short-chain facid, sodium butyrate, was used as a moderythroid differentiation. This agent may be u
