As retinoic acid (RA) and dibutyryl cAMP (cAMP) treatment induces differentiation of mouse teratocarcinoma F9 cells into parietal endoderm cellsin vitro, we initiated studies on the molecular mechanisms underlying early mammalian cell differentiation in this system. We constructed cDNA libraries on the po1y(A)+RNAs extracted from the undifferentiated F9 cells, and screened for cDNA sequences expressed abundantly in F9 cells, but not in terminally differentiated mouse parietal endoderm PYS-2 cells. Six different cDNA clones were isolated and characterized. The levels of RNAs hybridizable to these clones were at most 5 to 24in the PYS-2 cells when compared with those in the undifferentiated F9 cells. The six clones were classified into two groups on the basis of their responses to the RA and cAMP treatment. In F9 cells, the levels of RNAs hybridizable to the first group, which contained four clones, were decreased within 72 h after the addition of RA and cAMP, while those of the second group, which contained the remaining two clones, did not decrease significantly. One of the first group clones, named pF9-1, corresponded to the mouse“early transposon-like elements”and another, named pF9-4, hybridized to multi-size RNAs extracted from the undifferentiated F9 cells. The mouse genomic DNA sequences hybridizable to pF9-4 were repeated approximately 5,000 times, and comprise a new gene family, the expression of which is developmentally regulated in mouse F9 ce
