Induction of monocytic differentiation and tumorigenicity by v-Ha-ras in
differentiation arrested hematopoietic cells

Activated ras genes are often associated with human myeloid leukemias with
a monocytic differentiated phenotype. To investigate the role of the
activated ras gene in leukemogenesis, a myeloid nontumorigenic cell line
(FDC-P1) was infected with a selectable retroviral vector carrying the
v-Ha-ras gene (H1neo). Infected FDC-P1 cells were not only tumorigenic, but
also showed increased monocytic differentiation in vitro. Monocytic
differentiation and tumorigenicity in vivo were correlated with
several-fold increased levels of activated ras gene expression. Tumorigenic
cells were arrested with respect to monocytic marker expression at a much
later stage of macrophage differentiation than the parental noninfected
FDC-P1 cells. These data thus suggest a model of how activated ras genes
could be involved in the preferential induction of hematopoietic
malignancies with a myelomonocytic phenotype.
