Constitutive uncoupling of pathways of gene expression that control growth and differentiation in myeloid leukemia: a model for the origin and progression of malignancy.

Chemical carcinogens and tumor promoters have pleiotropic effects. Tumor initiators can produce a variety of mutations and tumor promotres can regulate a variety of physiological molecles that control growth and differentiation. The appropriate mutation and the regulation of the appropriate molecules to induce cell growth can initiate and promote the sequence of changes required for transformation of normal cells into malignant cells. After this sequence of changes, some tumors can still be induced to revert with a high frequency from a malignant phenotype to a nonmalignant phenotype. Results obtained from analysis of regulation of growth and differentiation in normal and leukemic myeloid cells, the phenotypic reversion of malignancy by induction of normal differentiation in myeloid leukemia, and the blocks in differentiation-defective leukemic cell mutants have been used to propose a general model for the origin and progression of malignancy. The model states that malignancy originates by changing specific pathways of gene expresion required for growth from inducible to constitutive in cells that can still be induced to differentiate normally by the physiological inducer of differentiation. The malignant cells, unlike the normal cells, then no longer require the physiological inducer for growth. This changes the requirements for growth and uncouples growth from differentiation. Constitutive expression of other specific pathways can uncouple other controls, which then causes blocks in differentiation and the further progression of malignancy. The existence of specific constitutive pathways of gene expression that uncouple controls in malignant cells can also exlain the expresion of fetal proteins, hormones, and some other specialized products of normal development in various types of tumors.
