Abstract:
:The murine pre-B leukemic cell line 70Z/3 contains both an unrearranged immunoglobulin kappa-light-chain gene and a functionally rearranged but silent kappa-light-chain gene. Mitogenic stimulation of growing 70Z/3 cells with bacterial lipopolysaccharide (LPS) activates kappa-light-gene transcription and results in a 10- to 20-fold increase in cytoplasmic kappa-light-chain mRNA. The induction of kappa gene expression by LPS was probed by using an inhibitor of protein synthesis. Concomitant treatment of 70Z/3 cells with LPS and cycloheximide failed to block kappa-light-chain mRNA accumulation, indicating that new protein synthesis is not required for the activation of kappa-gene expression. Treatment of 70Z/3 cells with cycloheximide alone resulted in kappa-mRNA induction equivalent to those produced by LPS alone. The kappa mRNA synthesized in the presence of cycloheximide was intact and able to direct the synthesis of kappa light chains. Nuclear transcription assays revealed that cycloheximide, like LPS, activated kappa-gene transcription. These findings indicate that the trans-acting factors necessary for kappa-light-chain-gene transcription are present in pre-B cells, but their activity is blocked by short-lived inhibitory proteins.
