Expression of CD38 in Human Promyelocytic Leukemia HL-60 Cell Line during Differentiation by Niacin-related Compounds

It was found that three niacin-related compounds, isonicotinic acid, nicotinamide, and nicotinamide N-oxide, induced granulocytic differentiation in HL-60 cells. We investigated the expression of CD38, which catalyzes the synthesis of cyclic ADP-ribose, a Ca²⁺ mobilizer, during differentiation by niacin-related compounds. It was found that CD38 was induced by isonicotinic acid, whereas nicotinamide and nicotinamide N-oxide containing an amino group did not induce it. The difference in expression of CD38 may provide some useful information for the elucidation of the mechanisms of cell differentiation.     

ATRA-induced HL-60 myeloid leukemia cell differentiation depends on the CD38 cytosolic tail needed for membrane localization, but CD38 enzymatic activity is unnecessary

Leukocyte antigen CD38 expression is an early marker of all-trans retinoic acid (ATRA) stimulated differentiation in the leukemic cell line HL-60. It promotes induced myeloid maturation when overexpressed, whereas knocking it down is inhibitory. It is a type II membrane protein with an extracellular C-terminal enzymatic domain with NADase/NADPase and ADPR cyclase activity and a short cytoplasmic N-terminal tail. Here we determined whether CD38 enzymatic activity or the cytoplasmic tail is required for ATRA-induced differentiation. Neither a specific CD38 ectoenzyme inhibitor nor a point mutation that cripples enzymatic activity (CD38 E226Q) diminishes ATRA-induced differentiation or G1/0 arrest. In contrast a cytosolic deletion mutation (CD38 Δ11–20) prevents membrane expression and inhibits differentiation and G1/0 arrest. These results may be consistent with disrupting the function of critical molecules necessary for membrane-expressed CD38 signal transduction. One candidate molecule is the Src family kinase Fgr, which failed to undergo ATRA-induced upregulation in CD38 Δ11–20 expressing cells. Another is Vav1, which also showed only basal expression after ATRA treatment in CD38 Δ11–20 expressing cells. Therefore, the ability of CD38 to propel ATRA-induced myeloid differentiation and G1/0 arrest is unimpaired by loss of its ectoenzyme activity. However a cytosolic tail deletion mutation disrupted membrane localization and inhibited differentiation. ATRA-induced differentiation thus does not require the CD38 ectoenzyme function, but is dependent on a membrane receptor function.     

Induction of Differentiation in Human Promyelocytic Leukemia HL-60 Cell Line by Niacin-related Compounds

Water-soluble vitamin, niacin, and its related compounds were examined for their differentiation-inducing activity in human promyelocytic leukemia cells (HL-60). Among the compounds, which inhibited cell proliferation measured by MTT assay, isonicotinic acid, nicotinamide N-oxide, and nicotinamide induced NBT reducing activity. HL-60 cells were differentiated into granulocyte-like cells by these compounds, judging from morphological changes and loss of nonspecific esterase activity. The differentiation-inducing activity of water-soluble vitamin and its related compounds suggest that these compounds may be applicable for medical use.     

5－氮－2＇－脱氧胞苷（5－aza－CdR）对HL－60细胞分化和DNA甲基化酶的影响

以５－氮－２＇－脱氧胞苷（５－ａｚａ－ＣｄＲ）为诱导物,在０．５μｍｏｌ／Ｌ的最佳浓度下,可诱导ＨＬ－６０细胞分化达１５％左右。同时,用［￣３Ｈ］－ｍｅｔｈｙｌ－ｓ－ａｄｅｎｏｓｙｌｍｅｔｈｉｏｎｉｎｅ（￣３Ｈ－ＳＡＭ）为底物,通过同位素参入法,测定了不同浓度诱导物对ＨＬ－６０细胞ＤＮＡ甲基化酶活力的影响,发现在最佳诱导物浓度下,可使ＨＬ－６０细胞ＤＮＡ甲基化酶活力明显下降,此外,也比较了不同分化水平的ＨＬ－６０细胞中具有不同甲基化水平的ＤＮＡ在体外接受甲基的能力,从而证明５－ａｚａ－ＣｄＲ诱导ＨＬ－６０细胞分化与其ＤＮＡ甲基化状态密切相关。     

Induction of Growth Inhibition and Differentiation of Human Leukemia HL-60 Cells by a Tunisian Gerboui Olive Leaf Extract

Cancer protection associated with the consumption of olive products is well established, but not for leukemia. The protective effects of olive (Olea europaea L.) leaves were investigated by incubating human promyelocytic leukemia HL-60 cells with olive leaf extracts (OLEs) from seven principal Tunisian olive varieties, namely, Chemchali, Chemlali, Chétoui, Gerboui, Sayali, Zalmati and Zarrazi. The results showed significant growth inhibition of HL-60 cells incubated for 48 h with a 100-fold dilution of each OLE which had been obtained by incubating 10 g of dried leaves in 100 ml of 70% ethanol for one week with subsequent ultrafiltration. DNA fragmentation was observed in the cells incubated for 19 h with a 100-fold dilution of the Chemchali, Chemlali and Zalmati extracts. The results of a nitroblue tetrazolium (NBT) assay revealed NBT reduction, a differentiation marker, by the OLE-treated cells after an overnight incubation. The Gerboui extract showed the highest NBT reduction ability at more than 90%. An HPLC analysis revealed the presence of apigenin 7-glucoside in the extract, which was found in subsequent experiments to be responsible for the Gerboui extract-mediated cell differentiation.

 本实验以二甲基亚砜(Dimethyl Sulfoxide,DMSO)为诱导剂,诱导人早幼粒白血病细胞系HL-60沿粒系统成熟分化。动态观察了诱导后1—6天HL-60的形态、功能成熟度改变、膜流动性和增殖活性的变化。结果表明,早幼粒细胞由诱导前的78％降至5％,杆核与分叶核细胞由6％和1.5％分别增加至32.5％和5.5％。NBT(Nitroblue tetrazolium,四唑氮蓝)还原试验显示其功能亦渐超成熟。诱导后HL-60 DNA合成速率明显降低(降低40～75％),膜脂流动度亦显著降低(降低30％,P<0.01)。提示诱导分化后的HL-60细胞不仅获得了与正常成熟粒细胞相似的形态功能特征,同时还失去了膜流动性增高及快速繁殖增生的恶性特征。     

UV辐射所致HL－60细胞DNA不均一修复的研究

在特定基因水平检测了ＵＶ照射后ＨＬ－６０细胞的ＤＮＡ修复。结果显示活性转录的ｃ－ｍｙｃ基因的修复水平明显高于非活性转录的β珠蛋白基因和全基因组。而进一步应用链专一性ＲＮＡ探针检测,发现ｃ－ｍｙｃ基因中的转录链和非转录链的修复效率没有明显差异。上述结果表明,ＨＬ－６０细胞能够对活跃表达基因的损伤进行选择性高效修复,但不能对活跃表达基因中的转录链进行进一步的选择性修复。

Induction of the Differentiation of HL-60 Promyelocytic Leukemia Cells by l-Ascorbic Acid

The present study was undertaken to examine the effect of l-ascorbic acid (LAA) on the growth of HL-60 promyelocytic leukemia cells, besides induction of apoptosis. LAA (≥10^-4?M) was found to markedly inhibit the proliferation of HL-60 in liquid culture and clonogenicity in semisolid culture. Moreover, LAA-treated HL-60 showed activity to produce chemiluminescence and expressed CD 66b cell surface antigens, indicating that LAA induces the differentiation of HL-60 mainly into granulocytes. The results are supported by morphological changes of LAA-treated HL-60 into segmented neutrophils. Therefore, the inhibitory effect of LAA on the growth of HL-60 cells seems to arise from the induction of differentiation. To assess the potential role of LAA, cells were exposed to oxygen radical scavengers in the absence or presence of LAA. Catalase abolished and superoxide dismutase promoted LAA-induced differentiation of HL-60. Thus, H²O² produced as a result of LAA treatment seems to play a major role in induction of HL-60 differentiation.     

红细胞分化因子诱导HL-60细胞排核过程中酪氨酸蛋白质磷酸化的改变

Molecular Mechanisms of Apoptosis in HL-60 Cells Induced by a Nitric Oxide-Releasing Compound

Nitric oxide (NO) generated from 1-hydroxy-2-0×0-3, 3-bis(2-aminoethyl)-l-triazene (NOC 18), an NO-releasing compound, induced monocytic differentiation of human promyelocytic leukemia HL-60 cells as assessed by expression of nonspecific esterases and morphologic maturation. Simultaneously, DNA fragmentation and morphological alterations typical of apoptosis were also induced. To investigate the mechanisms of apoptosis during differentiation of HL-60 cells induced by NO, the endogenous levels of Bcl-2 and Bax were assessed by immunoblotting. Treatment of cells with NOC 18 slightly reduced the level of Bcl-2 followed by Bax. These changes might be involved in the induction of apoptosis. The involvement of the activation of the interleukin-lβ converting enzyme (ICE) family of proteases (caspases), such as ICE and CPP32, in the pathways was also investigated. CPP32, but not ICE, was strongly activated in response to NOC 18 stimulation, thereby implicating CPP32-like activity in the induction of apoptosis. Moreover, the possible involvement of tyrosine phosphorylation in apoptosis was investigated. Pretreatment of cells with herbimycin A, an inhibitor of tyrosine kinases, suppressed DNA fragmentation and CPP32-like activity, whereas pretreatment with vanadate, an inhibitor of tyrosine phosphatases, enhanced both parameters, suggesting that tyrosine phosphorylation might be involved in the pathways of apoptosis in HL-60 cells induced by NO.

几种药物对HL-60细胞的诱导分化作用及其过程中蛋白激酶C活力分布的变化

本文就HHT、RA、WB_(852)对HL-60细胞的诱导分化作用及此过程中PKC活力在细胞胞浆部分及膜溶脱部分的变化进行研究。结果表明,在适当的用药浓度下,从细胞生长抑制情况、形态学观察及NBT还原能力测定判断,三种药物对HL-60细胞有明显的诱导分化作用。PKC活力分布变化的研究结果表明,用药组细胞胞浆部分酶活力有不同程度的下降,尤在用药早期(约6h以前)下降显著;而膜部分PKC活力则表现上升、或下降,或活力相差不大的结果。暗示在信息传递过程中起核心作用的PKC对不同的胞外刺激可能采取不同的应答方式。PKC的作用可能主要发生在信息传递的早期。     

Nuclear CD38 in retinoic acid-induced HL-60 cells

The cell surface antigen, CD38, is a 45-kDa transmembrane protein which is predominantly expressed on hematopoietic cells during differentiation. As a bifunctional ectoenzyme, it catalyzes the synthesis of cyclic ADP-ribose (cADPR) from NAD(+) and hydrolysis of either NAD(+) or cADPR to ADP-ribose. All-trans-retinoic acid (RA) is a potent and specific inducer of CD38 in myeloid cells. In this report, we demonstrate that the nuclei of RA-treated human HL-60 myeloblastic cells reveal enzymatic activities inherent to CD38. Thus, GDP-ribosyl cyclase and NAD(+) glycohydrolase activities in the nuclear fraction increased very significantly in response to incubation with RA. With Western blotting, we detected in the nuclear protein fraction from RA-treated cells a approximately 43-kDa protein band which was reactive with the CD38-specific monoclonal antibody OKT10. The expression of CD38 in HL-60 nuclei was also shown with FACScan analysis. RA treatment gave rise to an increase in in vitro ADP ribosylation of the approximately 43-kDa nuclear protein. Moreover, nuclei isolated from RA-treated HL-60 cells revealed calcium release in response to cADPR, whereas a similar response was not observed in control nuclei. These results suggest that CD38 is expressed in HL-60 cell nuclei during RA-induced differentiation.     

3H]Ouabain binding and 86 rubidium uptake during the dimethyl sulfoxide-induced differentiation of human promyelocytic leukemia HL-60 cells

When HL-60 cells were induced to differentiate into granulocyte-like cells by culture in the presence of 1.3% dimethyl sulfoxide, an increase in the rate of ouabain-sensitive 86Rb transport was observed during the first 6 h followed by a constant decrease which became stable on day 4 at about 40% of control level. By contrast, the number of ouabain binding sites remained constant during the first 24 h then decreased with the same kinetics as that of the 86Rb transport rate. These results suggest that alterations in ionic fluxes, through activation of the sodium pump, are part of the early events resulting in HL-60 cell differentiation.     

Changes in the gene expression of C-myc and CD38 in HL-60 cells during differentiation induced by nicotinic acid-related compounds

Changes in gene expression levels of c-myc and CD38 were examined during the differentiation of HL-60 cells to granulocytes due to three nicotinic acid-related compounds. CD38 expression was increased by isonicotinic acid and all-trans-retinoic acid (ATRA). Nicotinamide and nicotinamide N-oxide drastically decreased c-myc expression, but isonicotinic acid had no effect, suggesting that these compounds differentiate HL-60 to granulocytes through different pathways. These results should provide useful information as to the mechanisms of cell differentiation.     

Changes in the Susceptibility of 12-O-Tetradecanoylphorbol 13-Acetate (TPA)-Treated HL-60 Cells to Staphylococcal Leukocidin

Susceptibility of human promyelocytic leukemia HL-60 cells to staphylococcal leukocidin following treatment of cells with 12-O-tetradecanoylphorbol 13-acetate (TPA) was examined. TPA treatment for 6 hr rendered the cells very resistant transiently to leukocidin. There was no change in binding of leukocidin to the cells, but leukocidin-induced ⁴⁵CaCl₂ influx, phospholipase A₂ and C activities were inhibited. Further incubation with TPA rendered the cells sensitive again and then more sensitive than original HL-60 cells following increase of the binding, and leukocidin-induced activities described above appeared again. Those cells treated with TPA for more than 18 hr started to differentiate to macrophages morphologically and functionally. These data suggest that the differentiated cells were more sensitive than original HL-60 cells because of increased binding of leukocidin and that treatment of TPA for 6 hr may transiently impair the signal transduction system of leukocidin after binding of leukocidin to the specific receptor of the cell membrane. Using these TPA-treated cells, it was shown in this report that calcium influx, phospholipase A₂ and C activities were important to induce cytotoxic action of leukocidin after binding of leukocidin to specific receptors on the cells.     

在fMLP刺激的HL-60细胞中PI3-K介导的肌动蛋白聚合

趋化肽fMLP能够诱导中性粒细胞粘附、游走和吞噬.为了澄清这种趋化反应的发生机理,将HL-60细胞诱导分化为中性粒细胞样细胞,然后利用激酶特异性抑制剂研究了在fMLP刺激下细胞内PI3-K、p38和ERK激酶在肌动蛋白聚合中的作用.结果0.1 μmol/L的PI3-K抑制物Wortmannin抑制fMLP诱导的肌动蛋白聚合;而50 μmol/L的p38激酶抑制物SB203580和50 μmol/L的ERK激酶抑制物PD098059对fMLP诱导的肌动蛋白聚合没有影响, 但p38和ERK在不同程度上受到PI3-K的调节.这说明PI3-K介导的肌动蛋白聚合信号传导途径不同于PI3-K介导的p38和ERK激活途径.     

STAT3反义核酸对HL-60细胞周期及c-myc mRNA表达的影响

实验分反义组、无义组、脂质体组、空白组,转染后,应用四唑盐（MTT）比色法分析细胞增殖率,流式细胞仪检测细胞周期,RT-PCR检测细胞中STAT3 mRNA和c-myc mRNA的表达。探讨STAT3反义寡核苷酸对白血病细胞HL-60细胞周期及c-myc的影响。STAT3 ASODN抑制HL-60细胞增殖呈时间和浓度依赖性;反义寡核苷酸作用后,G0/G1期细胞明显减少,S期细胞增多,细胞周期进程受到明显阻滞;反义寡核苷酸作用48h后细胞内STAT3mRNA及c-myc mRNA的表达水平下降,与各对照组比较有显著性差异（P〈0.05）。STAT3 ASODN能够明显抑制HL-60细胞增殖,并能阻滞HL-60细胞于G0/G1期、并下调c-myc mRNA的表达。     

An Artificial Protein with the Biological Activity of the Differentiation Factor for the HL-60 Cell Line of Human Promyelocyte Leukemia

The ABB-df artificial protein was prepared by inserting the TGENHR biologically active peptide corresponding to the 41–46 sequence of the differentiation factor for the HL-60 cell line of the human promyelocyte leukemia into the N-terminus of the polypeptide chain of albebetin, an artificial protein with the preset structure. The ABB-df protein was found to induce the differentiation of HL-60 cells and to inhibit their proliferation; its efficiency was almost the same as that of the starting peptide. According to CD spectroscopy, the inclusion of the peptide fragment into albebetin exerts virtually no effect on the regular secondary structure of albebetin.
