The identification of early markers of myeloid differentiation can facilitate an understanding of how differentiation is arrested in leukemogenesis. Using murine bone marrow and the granulocyte-precursor cell line 32Dc13, we show that message for the granulocyte colony-stimulating factor receptor (G-CSFR) is upregulated by G-CSF in an immediate early fashion that is specific to the differentiation pathway and is antagonized by interleukin-3. We further show that G-CSFR message is superinduced by cycloheximide and that these patterns of regulation are altered in leukemic cell lines. In particular, the v-abl oncogene product suppresses both ligand- mediated upregulation and superinduction of the G-CSFR gene.
