Abstract
The expression of c- myc mRNA was examined after 4 h of sodium butyrate treatment in a mouse plasmacytoma (MPC) cell line (S194). Steady-state levels of rearranged c- myc mRNA were suppressed by the agent in S194 cells. Run-on assay demonstrated that the suppression of the rearranged c- myc mRNA in the MPC was correlated with the transcriptional downregulation of the gene. The suppression was also accompanied by the reduced DNase I sensitivity of the gene. These findings suggest that the rapid downregulation of c- myc mRNA by sodium butyrate is subject to regulation at the transcriptional level following the alteration of the DNase I sensitive chromatin structure in mouse plasmacytoma cells.
