Induction of early-response genes (tetradecanoyl phorbol acetate [TPA]-induced sequences, or TIS genes; R.W. Lim, B.C. Varnum, and H.R. Herschman, Oncogene 1:263-270, 1987) by granulocyte-macrophage colony-stimulating factor (GM-CSF) and TPA was examined both in a factor-dependent murine cell line, 32D clone 3, and in mature human neutrophils. When GM-CSF-deprived 32D clone 3 cells were exposed to GM-CSF or to TPA, four TIS mRNAs (TIS7, TIS8, TIS10, and TIS11) were rapidly and transiently induced. However, neither GM-CSF nor TPA could induce accumulation of TIS1 mRNA in 32D clone 3 cells, even under superinducing conditions. Both GM-CSF and TPA also elicited rapid, transient expression of TIS8 and TIS11 mRNA in postmitotic human neutrophils. However, neither agent could induce accumulation of TIS1 mRNA in human neutrophils. TIS1 is a member of the nuclear receptor supergene family that codes for ligand-dependent transcription factors. Cell-type restriction of inducible transcription factors may contribute to developmental specification.
