Popis: A comprehensive gene-expression analysis during platelet (PLT) production from megakaryocytes may give important information on genes involved in the PLT production process. However, the low abundance of primary megakaryocytes makes the gene expression analysis difficult. Therefore, we employed MEG-01 cells, a human megakaryocytic cell line, and confirmed that the cell line produces PLT-like particles by treatment with phorbol myristate acetate (PMA). After treatment of MEG-01 cells with PMA for 8 or 24 h, comprehensive gene expression analysis was carried out using a microarray and Reverse Transcription-Polymerase Chain Reaction (RT-PCR). From the microarray analysis, 141 genes were up-regulated (>2-fold) and 164 genes were down-regulated (
