【Abstract】 The differentiation index of HL 60 cells was measured after HL 60 cells were treated with S adenosyl L methionine (SAM) by using the NBT staining method.The value of differentiation index was 16% or so when the concentration of SAM was 10 μmol/L.The methylation level of genomic DNA of HL 60 was analysed by HPLC.It was found that the DNA methylation level of SAM treated cells increased compared with control cells.The DNA methylase activities of HL 60 cells treated with SAM were assayed by using 3H methyl SAM as methyl donor,but it did not show that HL 60 cells treated with SAM had higher activities than control cells.All these demonstrated that the increase of DNA methylation level was the result of more methyl group in the cells provided by SAM,rather than the change of DNA methylase activities.更多还原
