Downregulation and Upregulation of the c-kit mRNA Levels Are Immediate Consequences of Stroma Cell Interaction

Clones Relative Level of c-kit mRNA Expression
Continuous Growth on Removal ofReexposure to Stroma
TF-1S #MB6  1 ± 0.2* 7,980 ± 1,860* 9 ± 2* 
TF-1S #MB8  1 ± 0.3 360 ± 100 4 ± 1 
Clones Relative Level of c-kit mRNA Expression
Continuous Growth on Removal ofReexposure to Stroma
TF-1S #MB6  1 ± 0.2* 7,980 ± 1,860* 9 ± 2* 
TF-1S #MB8  1 ± 0.3 360 ± 100 4 ± 1 

The mRNA levels of the TF-1S clones each were set to 1. The c-kit mRNA level of #MB8 is 2.7-fold higher than the c-kit mRNA level of #MB6. Removal of and reexposure to stroma was performed for a period of 2 days each.
