Abstract: | The association between the phosphorylation status of the retinoblastoma protein, pRb and changes in cell cycle control caused by either protein kinase C (PKC) or protein kinase A (PKA) stimulation was evaluated in human myeloblastic leukaemia ML-1 cells. TPA-induced PKC activation resulted in dephosphorylation of pRb and subsequently induced ML-1 differentiation based on morphological changes and CD14 expression. In the present study, we showed that inhibition of protein phosphatases (PP-1 and PP-2a) prevented the TPA-induced differentiation in ML-1 cells. Preinhibition of PP-1 and PP-2a activities with 1–100 nM okadaic acid dose-dependently blunted the decrease in the phosphorylation status of pRb obtained with TPA and overrode cell cycle arrest. PKA stimulation with 8-chlorophenylthio-cAMP (100 µM) decreased cell proliferation by 65% and the distribution of cells in the G1 phase significantly increased from 38% to 83% concomitant with a 34% decline in the number of cells present in the S phase. In addition, PKA stimulation significantly decreased the pRb phosphorylation status but did not elicit CD14 expression, indicating that cAMP-induced dephosphorylation of pRb cannot by itself trigger differentiation in ML-1 cells. |
