Expression profile of active genes in granulocytes.

A number of genes active in granulocytes have been intensively studied as to the function of their products and their expression controls. However, the intensities and relative order of these gene activities have not been studied. This report describes an expression profile of 748 different species of active genes in human peripheral granulocytes obtained by analyzing a 3'-directed cDNA library that faithfully represents the mRNA population in the source cells. A significant fraction (20.3% of the total) of the expressed genes in granulocytes consisted of nuclear proteins such as DNA binding proteins, of secretory proteins such as cytokines, and of membrane proteins such as major histocompatibility complex (MHC) proteins and receptors. By comparing this expression profile with 11 profiles similarly obtained with unrelated human cells/tissues, we discovered 10 novel genes that are likely to act specifically in granulocytes. Comparison of this expression profile with that obtained with granulocytoids widely used as a granulocyte model by inducing a cultured promyelocytic leukemia cell line HL60 showed similarities and dissimilarities of gene expressions.
