We measured changes in the deformability of human promyelocytic leukemic (HL-60) cells induced to differentiate for 5-6 days along the granulocyte pathway by 1.25% dimethylsulfoxide (DMSO). Differentiation resulted in an approximately 90% reduction in the transit times of the cells through capillary-sized pores over a range of aspiration pressures. Cell volume, as measured by two methods, decreased by an average of 35%. To account for the contribution of the volume decrease to the decrease in transit time, the liquid drop model, developed to describe neutrophil deformability, was used to calculate an apparent viscosity of the cells during this deformation. The apparent viscosity of both uninduced and induced HL-60 cells was a function of aspiration pressure, and an approximately 80% reduction in viscosity occurred with induction, as determined by regression analysis. The deformation rate-dependent viscosities of the induced cells were between 65 and 240 Pa-sec, values similar to those measured for circulating neutrophils. To assess the role of polymerized actin in these viscosity changes, intracellular F-actin content was measured, and the effect of dihydrocytochalasin B (DHB), an agent that disrupts actin polymerization, was determined. Despite the significant decrease in cellular viscosity, F-actin content per cell volume did not change significantly after induced differentiation. Treatment with 3 and 30 microM DHB lowered cellular F-actin content in a dose-dependent manner in both uninduced and induced cells. Cellular viscosity of both uninduced and induced cells decreased sharply with 3 microM DHB treatment (85% and 76% respectively). 30 microM DHB treatment caused a further significant reduction in the viscosity of uninduced cells, but for induced cells the additional decrease in viscosity was not significant. These data indicate that reductions in both cell volume and intrinsic viscosity contribute to the increased deformability of HL-60 cells with DMSO-induced differentiation. However, changes in the concentration of F-actin cannot account for the decrease in cellular viscosity that occurs. 相似文献

Actin is a ubiquitous protein in eukaryotic cells. It plays a major role in cell motility and in the maintenance and control of cell shape. In this article, we intend to address the contribution of actin to the passive mechanical properties of human neutrophils. As a framework for assessing this contribution, the neutrophil is modeled as a simple viscous fluid drop with a constant cortical ("surface") tension. The reagent cytochalasin B (CTB) was used to disrupt the F-actin structure, and the neutrophil cortical tension and cytoplasmic viscosity were evaluated by single-cell micropipette aspiration. The cortical tension was calculated by simple force balance, and the viscosity was calculated according to a numerical analysis of the cell entry into the micropipette. CTB reduced the cell cortical tension in a dose-dependent fashion: by 19% at a concentration of 3 microM and by 49% at 30 microM. CTB also reduced the cytoplasmic viscosity by approximately -25% at a concentration of 3 microM and by approximately 65% at a concentration of 30 microM when compared at the same aspiration pressures. All three groups of neutrophils, normal cells, and cells treated with either 3 or 30 microM CTB, exhibited non-Newtonian behavior, in that the apparent viscosity decreased with increasing shear rate. The dependence of the cytoplasmic viscosity on deformation rate can be described empirically by mu = mu c(gamma m/gamma c)-b, where mu is cytoplasmic viscosity, gamma m is mean shear rate, mu c is the characteristic viscosity at the characteristic shear rate gamma c, and b is a material coefficient.(ABSTRACT TRUNCATED AT 250 WORDS) 相似文献

The mechanical behavior of the neutrophil plays an important role in both the microcirculation and the immune system. Several laboratories in the past have developed mechanical models to describe different aspects of neutrophil deformability. In this study, the passive mechanical properties of normal human neutrophils have been further characterized. The cellular mechanical properties were assessed by single cell micropipette aspiration at fixed aspiration pressures. A numerical simulation was developed to interpret the experiments in terms of cell mechanical properties based on the Newtonian liquid drop model (Yeung and Evans, Biophys. J., 56: 139-149, 1989). The cytoplasmic viscosity was determined as a function of the ratio of the initial cell size to the pipette radius, the cortical tension, aspiration pressure, and the whole cell aspiration time. The cortical tension of passive neutrophils was measured to be about 2.7 x 10(-5) N/m. The apparent viscosity of neutrophil cytoplasm was found to depend on aspiration pressure, and ranged from approximately 500 Pa.s at an aspiration pressure of 98 Pa (1.0 cm H2O) to approximately 50 Pa.s at 882 Pa (9.0 cm H2O) when tested with a 4.0-micron pipette. These data provide the first documentation that the neutrophil cytoplasm exhibits non-Newtonian behavior. To further characterize the non-Newtonian behavior of human neutrophils, a mean shear rate gamma m was estimated based on the numerical simulation. The apparent cytoplasmic viscosity appears to decrease as the mean shear rate increases. The dependence of cytoplasmic viscosity on the mean shear rate can be approximated as a power-law relationship described by mu = mu c(gamma m/gamma c)-b, where mu is the cytoplasmic viscosity, gamma m is the mean shear rate, mu c is the characteristic viscosity at characteristic shear rate gamma c, and b is a material coefficient. When gamma c was set to 1 s-1, the material coefficients for passive neutrophils were determined to be mu c = 130 +/- 23 Pa.s and b = 0.52 +/- 0.09 for normal neutrophils. The power-law approximation has a remarkable ability to reconcile discrepancies among published values of the cytoplasmic viscosity measured using different techniques, even though these values differ by nearly two orders of magnitude. Thus, the power-law fluid model is a promising candidate for describing the passive mechanical behavior of human neutrophils in large deformation. It can also account for some discrepancies between cellular behavior in single-cell micromechanical experiments and predictions based on the assumption that the cytoplasm is a simple Newtonian fluid. 相似文献

Human tonsil non-T cells were successfully separated into surface IgM+G-ve (sIgM+G-), sIgM+G+, sIgM-G-, and sIgM-G+ B cell fractions. The two-step separation technique used did not affect the pokeweed mitogen- (PWM) induced plasma cell differentiation of the B cells. The highest percentages of plasma cells after PWM stimulation were found in the sIgM- fractions, and the lowest percentage was in the sIgM+G- fraction (20.8 +/- 2.3%), the latter predominantly cytoplasmic mu-chain-positive (c mu +) (84.1 +/- 3.5%) plasma cells. In this fraction, almost no c gamma + plasma cells were found. The sIgM+G+ produced c mu + (47.5 +/- 7.5%), c gamma + (35.7 +/- 5.8%), and c alpha + (16.8 +/- 4.0%) plasma cells. All three isotypes were found on the surface of the B cells in this fraction before PWM stimulation. The sIgM-G- fraction contained about 10% plasma cells before stimulation, which were predominantly c gamma +. After PWM stimulation, primarily c alpha + (64.2 +/- 4.3%) plasma cells were found. The sIgM-G+ fraction produced both c gamma + (75.0 +/- 2.3%) and c alpha + (24.1 +/- 2.5) plasma cells. A mu to gamma class switch did not occur in vitro in the sIgM+G- fraction on PWM stimulation, and the sIgM+G+ fraction did not complete in vitro the mu to gamma switch it had started in vivo. 相似文献

In this study we examined whether microtubules and heat shock protein 90 (Hsp90) are involved in phorbol myristate acetate (PMA) and N-formyl-Met-Leu-Phe (fMLP)-induced oxidative burst in DMSO-differentiated HL-60 cells. Our results showed that microtubule interfering agents, paclitaxel (1-5 microM), colchicine (1-100 microM), nocodazole (1-20 microM), and vincristine (1-50 microM), did not affect either PMA or fMLP-induced oxidative burst. In contrast, radicicol, an inhibitor of Hsp90, inhibited fMLP-induced oxidative burst in time and concentration-dependent manner where IC50 value for 30 min pre-incubation was 16.5 +/- 3.5 microM radicicol. We conclude that both PMA and fMLP-induced oxidative burst in DMSO-differentiated HL-60 cells is microtubule-independent while the latter requires Hsp90 activity. 相似文献

The antitumor drug fostriecin (phosphotrienin, FST) has been reported to exert its cytostatic and cytotoxic effects via inhibition of DNA topoisomerase II. The sensitivity of human lymphocytic leukemic MOLT-4 and promyelocytic HL-60 leukemic cells to a wide range of FST concentrations was studied by analyzing the cell cycle-specific effects and changes in nuclear chromatin induced by this inhibitor. The latter was evaluated by assaying the sensitivity of DNA in situ to acid-induced denaturation cytofluorimetrically, with the use of the metachromatic fluorochrome acridine orange (AO), which differentially stains double-stranded and denatured DNA. The cytostatic effects were observed soon after addition of FST (at concentrations of 1-30 microM for MOLT-4 cultures and 1-5 microM for HL-60 cultures) as a perturbation of cell progression through S and G2 phases of the cell cycle. Cell progression through the cycle was halted at greater than 30 microM FST in MOLT-4 cultures and at greater than 5 microM in HL-60 cultures; the effect was instantaneous and affected all phases of the cycle, so that no changes in the cell cycle distribution were apparent with increasing length of exposure to the drug. Instead, at these high FST concentrations, immediate cytotoxic effects became evident, manifesting either as cell apoptosis or necrosis. Apoptosis was observed only in the case of HL-60 cells, at FST concentrations of 5-100 microM, and was characterized by markedly increased sensitivity of DNA to denaturation combined with a decrease in overall DNA stainability, either with the DNA-specific dye DAPI or with AO, indicative of the activation of endogenous nucleases. Necrotic cell death was observed at FST concentrations of 1 mM and at greater than 30 microM for HL-60 and MOLT-4 cells, respectively: in both cases the overall DNA stainability, with either DAPI or AO, was unchanged compared to the control, but their DNA was very sensitive to denaturation. Interestingly, DNA in G2 and late S phase MOLT-4 cells, which were undergoing necrotic death, was much more sensitive to denaturation than was DNA in G1 cells of this lineage. The data indicate that chromatin changes induced by DNA topoisomerase II inhibitors in cells that undergo apoptotic or necrotic death can be conveniently monitored by the assay of DNA in situ sensitivity to denaturation. 相似文献

The role of nucleoside-diphosphate kinase reactions in G protein activation of NADPH oxidase by guanine and adenine nucleotides 总被引:3,自引:0,他引:3

NADPH-oxidase-catalyzed superoxide (O2-) formation in membranes of HL-60 leukemic cells was activated by arachidonic acid in the presence of Mg2+ and HL-60 cytosol. The GTP analogues, guanosine 5'-[gamma-thio]triphosphate (GTP[gamma S] and guanosine 5'-[beta,gamma-imido]triphosphate, being potent activators of guanine-nucleotide-binding proteins (G proteins), stimulated O2- formation up to 3.5-fold. The adenine analogue of GTP[gamma S], adenosine 5'-[gamma-thio]triphosphate (ATP[gamma S]), which can serve as donor of thiophosphoryl groups in kinase-mediated reactions, stimulated O2- formation up to 2.5-fold, whereas the non-phosphorylating adenosine 5'-[beta,gamma-imido]triphosphate was inactive. The effect of ATP[gamma S] was half-maximal at a concentration of 2 microM, was observed in the absence of added GDP and occurred with a lag period two times longer than the one with GTP[gamma S]. HL-60 membranes exhibited nucleoside-diphosphate kinase activity, catalyzing the thiophosphorylation of GDP to GTP[gamma S] by ATP[gamma S]. GTP[gamma S] formation was half-maximal at a concentration of 3-4 microM ATP[gamma S] and was suppressed by removal of GDP by creatine kinase/creatine phosphate (CK/CP). The stimulatory effect of ATP[gamma S] on O2- formation was abolished by the nucleoside-diphosphate kinase inhibitor UDP. Mg2+ chelation with EDTA and removal of endogenous GDP by CK/CP abolished NADPH oxidase activation by ATP[gamma S] and considerably diminished stimulation by GTP[gamma S]. GTP[gamma S] also served as a thiophosphoryl group donor to GDP, with an even higher efficiency than ATP[gamma S]. Transthiophosphorylation of GDP to GTP[gamma S] was only partially inhibited by CK/CP. Our results suggest that NADPH oxidase is regulated by a G protein, which may be activated either by exchange of bound GDP by guanosine triphosphate or by thiophosphoryl group transfer to endogenous GDP by nucleoside-diphosphate kinase. 相似文献

The role of microtubules in determining the mechanical rigidity of neutrophils was assessed. Neutrophils were treated with colchicine to disrupt microtubules, or with paclitaxel to promote formation of microtubules. Paclitaxel caused an increase in the number of microtubules in the cells as assessed by immunofluorescence, but it had no effect on the presence or organization of actin filaments or on cellular mechanical properties. Colchicine at concentrations <1.0 microM caused disruption of microtubular structures, but had little effect on either F-actin or on cellular mechanical properties. Higher concentrations of colchicine disrupted microtubular structure, but also caused increased actin polymerization and increases in cell rigidity. Treatment with 10 microM colchicine increased F-actin content by 17%, the characteristic cellular viscosity by 30%, the dependence of viscosity on shear rate by 10%, and the cortical tension by 18%. At 100 microM colchicine the corresponding increases were F-actin, 25%; characteristic viscosity, 50%; dependence of viscosity on shear rate, 20%; and cortical tension, 21%. These results indicate that microtubules have little influence on the mechanical properties of neutrophils, and that increases in cellular rigidity caused by high concentrations of colchicine are due to a secondary effect that triggers actin polymerization. This study supports the conclusion that actin filaments are the primary structural determinants of neutrophil mechanical properties. 相似文献

Currently, information regarding the influence of growth factors on the cytoskeleton, including G-CSF and GMCSF, remains limited. In the present study we show alterations in F-actin distribution and cell cycle progression in HL-60 promyelocytic leukemia cells, resulting from treatment with these cytokines in vitro. We found that both agents caused F-actin reorganization. Although multiple potential effects of various growth factors have been described previously, in our experimental conditions, we observed some rather subtle differences between the effects of G-CSF and GM-CSF on studied cells. The presence of these cytokines in the cell environment caused not only increased F-actin labeling in the cytoplasm, but also a weaker intensity of peripheral ring staining in comparison with control cells. In spite of the fact that HL60 cells exposed to G-CSF and GM-CSF contained different F-actin structures such as aggregates and F-actin network, the rate of actin polymerization was not significantly enhanced. Moreover, alterations were mainly related to considerable changes in the relative proportion of these different structures, what might be reflected by specific features of the differentiation process, with regard to the kind of stimulating factor used. Thus, reorganization of F-actin and other results obtained in our experimental conditions, might reflect unique characteristics of the differentiation process in HL-60 cells, involving low apoptosis frequency, the G1 to S phase transition in the cell cycle, as well as possible alternative ways of the cell death. 相似文献

ATP promoted biphasic effects on both basal and fMLP-stimulated arachidonic acid (AA) release in neutrophil-like HL60 cells: stimulation in the micromolar range (EC50 = 3.2 +/- 0.9 microM) and inhibition at higher concentrations (EC50 = 90 +/- 11 microM). ATP also inhibited UTP- and platelet activating factor-stimulated AA release. Only stimulatory effects of ATP on basal or fMLP-stimulated phospholipase C were observed. The inhibitory effect of ATP on AA release was not due to reacylation of released AA, chelation of extracellular Ca2+, cell permeabilization, or changes in the rise of [Ca2+]i induced by agonist. The inhibition was rapid, being detected within 5-15 s. The inhibitory effect of ATP on fMLP-stimulated AA release could be desensitized by pretreatment of the cells with 2 mM ATP, but not 20 microM ATP, the concentration that resulted in maximal release of AA and inositol phosphates. The inhibition by ATP was neither dependent on generation of adenosine by ATP hydrolysis nor the result of direct interaction of ATP with P1 purinergic receptors. Among other nucleotides tested (CTP, GTP, ITP, TTP, XTP, adenosine 5'-(beta,gamma-methylene)triphosphate (AMP-PCP), adenyl-5'-yl imidodiphosphate (AMP-P(NH)P), ADP, adenosine 5'-O-(3-thiotriphosphate) (ATP gamma S), and UTP), only UTP and ATP gamma S displayed biphasic effects with potencies and efficacies almost identical to those of ATP. The other nucleotides only exhibited stimulatory effects (EC50 = 60-300 microM). The results are consistent with a model of dual regulation of AA release by two distinct subtypes of P2U receptors in HL60 cells. 相似文献

Therapeutic nucleoside analogue 3-deazauridine (DU) exerts cytotoxic activity against cancer cells by disruption of DNA synthesis resulting in cell death. The present study evaluates whether DU alone at doses 2.5-15 microM or in combination with all trans retinoic acid (RA) or dibutyryl cAMP (dbcAMP) is effective against myelogenous leukemia. The data of this study indicate that DU induces dose-dependent cell death by apoptosis in myeloid leukemia cell lines HL-60, NB4, HEL and K562 as demonstrated by cell staining or flow cytometry and agarose gel electrophoresis. 24h-treatment with DU produced dose-dependent HL-60 cell growth inhibition and dose-independent S phase arrest that was not reversed upon removal of higher doses of DU (10-15 microM). Exposition to nontoxic dose of DU (2.5 microM) for 24h followed by RA or dbcAMP and 96 h-cotreatment with DU significantly enhanced RA- but not dbcAMP-mediated granulocytic differentiation. Cell maturation was paralleled with an increase in the proportion of cells in G1 or G2+M phase. We conclude that, depending on the dose or the sequence of administration with RA, an inhibitor of DNA replication, DU triggers a process of either differentiation or apoptosis in myeloid leukemia cells. 相似文献

Immunochemical evidence that three protein kinase C isozymes increase in abundance during HL-60 differentiation induced by dimethyl sulfoxide and retinoic acid 总被引:10,自引:0,他引:10
Activity of the Ca2+/phospholipid-dependent protein kinase C has been shown to increase during differentiation of the human promyelocytic leukemia cell line HL-60 by dimethyl sulfoxide and retinoic acid (Zylber-Katz, E., and Glazer, R. I. (1985) Cancer Res. 45, 5159-5164). Antipeptide antibodies were prepared that specifically recognize the alpha, beta, and gamma isozymes of protein kinase C in rat brain cytosol and HL-60 cell extracts. The three isozymes do not share a common tissue distribution pattern. The gamma enzyme is abundant in brain but a relatively minor component in HL-60 cells; the opposite is true for the alpha enzyme. All three isozymes increase at least 2-fold in abundance in HL-60 cells exposed to 1.2% dimethyl sulfoxide for 48 h. The increase in abundance of the alpha and beta isoforms reaches 7- and 5-fold, respectively, by 96 h without further increase in the abundance of the gamma isozyme. Similarly, all three isozymes increase at least 1.5-fold in abundance after 48 h and 3-fold after 96 h with 1 microM retinoic acid. No further increase in the abundance of any of the isozymes is seen between 96 and 144 h of incubation with retinoic acid. The increase in protein kinase C activity is not limited to the cytosolic forms of the enzyme; a parallel increase in membrane-associated protein kinase C is also observed during differentiation. Approximately 10% of total protein kinase C activity is membrane-associated in both control and differentiating cells. These studies provide the first immunochemical evidence that all three protein kinase C isozymes increase during HL-60 cell differentiation, and they suggest that the increase in the isozyme levels may be coordinately regulated. 相似文献

19-Nor-1alpha,25-dihydroxyvitamin D2 (paricalcitol) is an analogue of 1,25(OH)2D3 with reduced calcemic effects that is approved in the United States for the suppression of parathyroid hormone in chronic renal failure. Paricalcitol has anticancer activity in prostate cancer cells. We tested the effects of paricalcitol on the HL-60 leukemia cells, studying cellular differentiation, cell cycle changes, apoptosis and cellular proliferation. Paricalcitol at 10(-8)M concentration induced the maturation of HL-60 cells in a time-dependent manner, as shown by increased expression of CD11b differentiation surface antigen. The ability of HL-60 cells to reduce nitroblue tetrazolium (NBT) was markedly increased after exposure to paricalcitol at 10(-8)M for 72 h. Paricalcitol inhibited colony formation of HL-60 cells in a soft agar semisolid media after 10-day incubation (estimated IC50 of 5 x 10(-9) M. Exposure to 10(-8)M paricalcitol for 72 h increased the number of cells in G0/G1 phase, and decreased the number of cells in S phase, and significantly increased the number of HL-60 cells undergoing apoptosis. The concentration required to achieve inhibition of growth of HL-60 cells is comparable to clinically achievable levels. These findings support the clinical evaluation of paricalcitol as an antileukemia agent. 相似文献

Griseofulvin (GF), an oral antifungal agent, has been shown to exert antitumorigenesis effect through G2/M cell cycle arrest in colon cancer cells. But the underlying mechanisms remained obscure. The purpose of this study is to test the cytotoxic effect of GF on HL-60 and HT-29 cells and elucidate its underlying molecular pathways. Dose-dependent and time-course studies by flow cytometry demonstrated that 30 to 60 microM GF significantly induced G2/M arrest and to a less extend, apoptosis, in HL-60 cells. In contrast, only G2/M arrest was observed in HT-29 cells under similar condition. Pretreatment of 30 microM TPCK, a serine protease inhibitor, completely reversed GF-induced G2/M cell cycle arrest and apoptosis in HL-60 cells but not in HT-29 cells. The GF-induced G2/M arrest in HL-60 cells is reversible. Using EMSA and super-shift analysis, we demonstrated that GF stimulated NF-kappaB binding activity in HL-60 cells, which was completely inhibited by pretreatment of TPCK. Treatment of HL-60 with 30 microM GF activated JNK but not ERK or p38 MAPK and subsequently resulted in phosphorylation of Bcl-2. Pretreatment of TPCK to HL-60 cells blocked the GF-induced Bcl-2 phosphorylation but not JNK activation. Time course study demonstrated that activation of cdc-2 kinase activity by GF correlated with Bcl-2 phosphorylation. Taken together, our results suggest that activation of NF-kappaB pathway with cdc-2 activation and phosphorylation of Bcl-2 might be involved in G2/M cell cycle arrest in HL-60 cells. 相似文献

The ability of GTP gamma S to activate release of inositol polyphosphates from isolated permeabilised guinea pig uterine smooth muscle cells and from partially purified PI-PLC alpha has been studied. Streptolysin O permeabilised and [3H]inositol prelabelled cells show a time dependent release of inositol polyphosphates, predominantly inositol 4-phosphate. Ca2+ stimulated IP release with a Ka of 161 +/- 1.1 nM and this was further enhanced in an additive manner by GTP gamma S between 1-100 microM; the Ka for Ca2+ in the presence of 0.1 mM GTP gamma S was 117 +/- 0.7 nM. GTP gamma S activation of IP production did not require Ca2+ in the medium. Permeabilisation of the uterine smooth muscle cells with Streptolysin O readily released PI-PLC activity into the medium. However, unlike studies with isolated membranes 63.4 +/- 6.4% of the enzyme activity remained associated with membranes and/or particulate fractions of the cell. Studies were undertaken with PI-PLC alpha, the predominant isoenzyme form, partially purified from uterine smooth muscle at different stages of pregnancy by Q-Sepharose and Heparin-Agarose chromatography. The enzyme co-purifies with firmly associated GTP-binding activity. Enzyme prepared from near-term uterus is activated by 0.1 mM GTP gamma S, up to 100% when Ca2+ is between 0.1-1 microM, while 10 microM AlF4- under those conditions caused complete inhibition of the enzymes. Responses for enzymes prepared from non-pregnant uteri were broadly similar. In contrast enzyme preparations from guinea pig uteri at 20-60 days of pregnancy show an inhibition of activity in response to 0.1 mM GTP gamma S addition.(ABSTRACT TRUNCATED AT 250 WORDS) 相似文献

HL-60 promyelocytic leukemic cells can differentiate into more mature myeloid cells with the addition of dimethylsulfoxide, butyric acid or retinoic acid and can differentiate into macrophages with the addition of phorbol ester 12-0-tetradecanoylphorbol-13-acetate (TPA). After the addition of an inducer, the HL-60 cell volume shows a daily decrease while the cell number increases at a rate similar to the untreated control cells. Flow cytometry measurements show an increase in G1 cells and a decrease in S cells after day 1. Since the generation time is constant, the data suggest that the length of time spent in the different cell cycle stages has changed during differentiation. Within 3 hours after the addition of TPA to HL-60 cells, selective adhesion of G1 cells occurs. Smaller sized cells are recovered from the flask bottom and larger sized cells are recovered from the supernate. Flow cytometric analysis reveals a G1 and S block in cells obtained from both the supernatant and from the flask bottom. After 1 day of TPA incubation, there is preferential adhesion of G1 and G2 cells with the nonadherent cells being primarily in the S and G2 cell cycle stages and undergoing a cell cycle traverse. 相似文献

The human promyelocytic leukaemia cell line HL-60 can be induced to differentiate towards mature granulocytes by treatment with dibutyryl cyclic adenosine-3',5'-monophosphate (dbcAMP). Differentiation begins within 16-24 h of treatment and is associated with a time- and dose-dependent accumulation of cells in the G0/G1 phase of the cell cycle with a concomitant decrease in the number of cells in the S and G2 + M phases. Using acridine orange staining, we found that the RNA content of the cells also decreased following differentiation. Stathmokinetic analysis of HL-60 cell populations following dbcAMP treatment showed no effect on the total number of cells in the G0/G1 or S phases, or the rate of progression of cells through these cell cycle compartments. In contrast, dbcAMP was found to induce a transient arrest of the cells in the G2 phase. We also found that differentiation induced by dbcAMP did not require progression of the cells through the cell cycle. Cells arrested in either G1/S by hydroxyurea or G2 + M by colcemid eventually expressed markers of mature granulocytes. These results demonstrate that dbcAMP modulates cell cycle progression. However, these cell cycle changes alone are insufficient to induce granulocytic differentiation of HL-60 cells. 相似文献

Novel tolmetin derivatives 5a–f to 8a–c were designed, synthesised, and evaluated for antiproliferative activity by NCI (USA) against a panel of 60 tumour cell lines. The cytotoxic activity of the most active tolmetin derivatives 5b and 5c was examined against HL-60, HCT-15, and UO-31 tumour cell lines. Compound 5b was found to be the most potent derivative against HL-60, HCT-15, and UO-31 cell lines with IC50 values of 10.32 ± 0.55, 6.62 ± 0.35, and 7.69 ± 0.41 µM, respectively. Molecular modelling studies of derivative 5b towards the VEGFR-2 active site were performed. Compound 5b displayed high inhibitory activity against VEGFR-2 (IC50 = 0.20 µM). It extremely reduced the HUVECs migration potential exhibiting deeply reduced wound healing patterns after 72 h. It induced apoptosis in HCT-15 cells (52.72-fold). This evidence was supported by an increase in the level of apoptotic caspases-3, -8, and -9 by 7.808-, 1.867-, and 7.622-fold, respectively. Compound 5b arrested the cell cycle in the G0/G1 phase. Furthermore, the ADME studies showed that compound 5b possessed promising pharmacokinetic properties. 相似文献

Antileukemic effect of coral-prostanoids clavulones from the stolonifer Clavularia viridis on human myeloid leukemia (HL-60) cells 总被引:1,自引:0,他引:1

To elucidate the biological activities of coral-prostanoids, clavulones, discovered from the Japanese stolonifer Clavularia viridis, we examined the effect of clavulone on the cell growth of human cancer (human promyelocytic leukemia (HL-60) cells and HeLa cells) and normal (Chang liver cells and lung fibroblasts) cells in vitro. Clavulone showed strong antiproliferative and cytotoxic activities in the human cells and it had some selectivity to leukemic (HL-60) cells over other HeLa cells or normal cells on the basis of the IC50 values and cytotoxic effect of the cells. The IC50 value of clavulone in the HL-60 cells was about 0.4 microM (0.2 micrograms/ml). Over 1.0 microM (0.5 micrograms/ml), clavulone showed a significant cytotoxic activity on the HL-60 cells. The data on DNA synthesis and flow cytometric analysis revealed that clavulone arrests the cells in the G1-phase and inhibits the cell growth of HL-60 cells by inhibiting S-phase DNA synthesis. These results suggest that clavulone has a potent antileukemic effect on HL-60 cells. 相似文献
