Abstract

In this study, we have examined the synthesis of heat shock protein (HSP70) in leukemia cells from acute myelogenous leukemia (AML) patients and in mononuclear cells from normal individuals, before and after growth factor stimulation. We have shown that the HSP70 protein was expressed in these cells in the absence of temperature elevation. Stimulation of proliferation of AML cells by the growth factors interleukin-3 and granulocyte-macrophage colony-stimulating factor and stimulation of normal lymphocytes by phytohemagglutinin (PHA) resulted in decreased synthesis of HSP70, suggesting that high levels of HSP70 are associated with cellular differentiation.
