Key result
The UT-7/TPO cell line, established from UT-7/GM, exhibits absolute dependence on thrombopoietin for growth and survival and displays mature megakaryocytic features.
The establishment of the UT-7/TPO cell line provides a useful in vitro model for analyzing gene regulation of megakaryocytic maturation and studying the specific actions of thrombopoietin.

No immediate clinical application; extends in vitro models for megakaryopoiesis research.
Komatsu et al. (1996) studied Human megakaryoblastic leukemia cell line. Thrombopoietin (TPO) vs. Absence of TPO was evaluated on Proliferation and differentiation of UT-7 and its sublines. The UT-7/TPO cell line, established from UT-7/GM, exhibits absolute dependence on thrombopoietin for growth and survival and displays mature megakaryocytic features.
