Popis: Friend erythroleukemia cells were labelled with high levels of [3H]myo-inositol and the radioactivity in PI, PIP and PIP2, extracted from isolated nuclei, was measured. A parallel analysis employing a picomole sensitive assay for both PIP and DAG has been carried out. The results indicate that the differentiation process is characterised by an accumulation of nuclear PIP and PIP2 and by a decrease of DAG mass. We suggest that as differentiation proceeds toward erythrocytes in Friend cells, this is accompanied by a reduction in the amount of these messengers in the nucleus.
