An enzyme with properties similar to those of beta-N-acetylhexosaminidase S is expressed in the promyelocytic cell line HL-60.

ABSTRACT: Extracts of the human promyelocytic cell line HL-60 contain a form of beta-N-acetylhexosaminidase that is not retained on columns of benzeneboronate-agarose ('phenylboronate-agarose') and has a pI value lower than that of beta-N-acetylhexosaminidase A. It is clearly distinct from beta-N-acetylhexosaminidase A in its behaviour on DEAE-cellulose columns, and it requires a higher concentration of salt for its elution. This 'extra' form has a higher ratio of activity towards 4-methylumbelliferyl beta-N-acetylglucosaminide 6-sulphate and 4-methylumbelliferyl beta-N-acetylglucosaminide than has beta-N-acetylhexosaminidase A and is less stable when heated at 50 degrees C. It has a pH optimum of 4.5 and is therefore not beta-N-acetylglucosaminidase C. Anti-(human beta-N-acetylhexosaminidase alpha-subunit) serum precipitated both beta-N-acetylhexosaminidase A and the 'extra' form, whereas an anti-(beta-subunit) serum precipitated beta-N-acetylhexosaminidase A but not the 'extra' form. Western blotting and immunodetection of polypeptides derived from the 'extra' form revealed a band corresponding in size to mature alpha-subunits. On the basis of this and of its behaviour on isoelectric focusing, chromatofocusing and its kinetic properties, we conclude that the 'extra' form is composed of alpha-subunits and resembles beta-N-acetylhexosaminidase S, the residual form in Sandhoff's disease.

Cultivation of Anaplasma ovis in the HL-60 human promyelocytic leukemia cell line.

Project description:The tick-borne bacterium Anaplasma ovis is a widely distributed pathogen affecting sheep, goats and wild ruminants. Here, the HL-60 human promyelocytic leukemia cell line was used to isolate A. ovis from PCR-positive sheep and goats in Heilongjiang Province, China. Two weeks after inoculation, morulae were observed in cytoplasmic vacuoles in four different HL-60 cultures. Confocal microscopy using a Cy3-labeled A. ovis-specific probe confirmed that the HL-60 cells were infected with A. ovis. Cells from the 6th HL-60 subculture displayed positive fluorescence when incubated with A. ovis antiserum in the indirect fluorescent antibody assay. PCR amplification and sequencing of 16S rRNA, groEL, gltA, msp2 and msp4 Anaplasma genes revealed that the four A. ovis culture isolates were identical. Phylogenetic analysis showed that the sequences clustered with other A. ovis strains but could clearly be distinguished from other Anaplasma species. When the 18th subculture of infected HL-60 cells was examined by electron microscopy, lysosomes were often observed near the vacuoles. After the 24th subculture, Giemsa staining and PCR indicated that the HL-60 cells were negative for A. ovis. Although A. ovis can infect HL-60 cells for only four months, the ability of the organism to infect and multiply in HL-60 cells provides a tool to study intra-erythrocytic Anaplasma and host cell interactions.

Treatment of HL-60 cells with dimethyl sulphoxide inhibits the formation of beta-N-acetylhexosaminidase S.

Project description:beta-N-Acetylhexosaminidase of HL-60 cells was separated into two main forms, A and S, by chromatography on DEAE-cellulose. Analysis of developmental changes in the isoenzyme pattern was complicated by the fact that the specific activity of beta-N-acetylhexosaminidase underwent a 6-fold change during the normal growth cycle. Two other lysosomal enzymes, beta-galactosidase and alpha-mannosidase, behaved similarly. Induction of differentiation of HL-60 cells with dimethyl sulphoxide at a low cell density (3 x 10(5) cells/ml) had a greater effect on the abundance of alpha-subunits of beta-N-acetylhexosaminidase, measured with 4-methylumbelliferyl-beta-N-acetylglucosaminide 6-sulphate, than of beta-subunits, measured with 4-methylumbelliferyl-beta-N-acetylglucosamine, and resulted in an isoenzyme profile in which A and B were the major forms, with the levels of form S greatly decreased.

TNF-α Differentially Regulates Cell Cycle Genes in Promyelocytic and Granulocytic HL-60/S4 Cells.

Project description:Tumor necrosis factor alpha (TNF-α) is a potent cytokine involved in systemic inflammation and immune modulation. Signaling responses that involve TNF-α are context dependent and capable of stimulating pathways promoting both cell death and survival. TNF-α treatment has been investigated as part of a combined therapy for acute myeloid leukemia due to its modifying effects on all-trans retinoic acid (ATRA) mediated differentiation into granulocytes. To investigate the interaction between cellular differentiation and TNF-α, we performed RNA-sequencing on two forms of the human HL-60/S4 promyelocytic leukemia cell line treated with TNF-α. The ATRA-differentiated granulocytic form of HL-60/S4 cells had an enhanced transcriptional response to TNF-α treatment compared to the undifferentiated promyelocytes. The observed TNF-α responses included differential expression of cell cycle gene sets, which were generally upregulated in TNF-α treated promyelocytes, and downregulated in TNF-α treated granulocytes. This is consistent with TNF-α induced cell cycle repression in granulocytes and cell cycle progression in promyelocytes. Moreover, we found evidence that TNF-α treatment of granulocytes shifts the transcriptome toward that of a macrophage. We conclude that TNF-α treatment promotes a divergent transcriptional program in promyelocytes and granulocytes. TNF-α promotes cell cycle associated gene expression in promyelocytes. In contrast, TNF-α stimulated granulocytes have reduced cell cycle gene expression, and a macrophage-like transcriptional program.

Transcriptomic effects of Capridine on the acute promyelocytic leukemia HL-60 cell line

Project description:We used Agilent human gene expression arrays to test whether Capridine, a chemotherapeutic agent with specificity towards prostate cancer, deregulates the genomic fabric of acute myeloyd leukemia in HL-60 cells. This cell line was derived at the National Cancer Institute from a 36-year-old woman with acute promyelocytic leukemia. We found that Capridine down-regulates the pathways responsible for formation of hematopoietic progenitor cells, for anti-apoptosis and for proliferation of clonal neoplastic cells. Our results indicates the therapeutic potential of Capridine against acute myeloid leukemia. Two-conditions: HO = not treated, HA = Capridine-treated HL-60 cells. Four biological replicates of each condition. Differently labeled biological replicates were cohybridized with each array. Results of similarly labeled different conditions were compared then averaged for the two fluorescent labels. For instance: HO1 & HO3 were compared with HA1 & HA3, HO2 & HO4 were compared with HA2 & + HA4, and the results of the comparisons averaged. This design uses 100% of the resources, has a better normlaiztion and allows all possible comparisons among the conditions.

Analysis of leukotriene B4 metabolism in human promyelocytic HL-60 cells.

Project description:We previously reported that human alveolar macrophages rapidly metabolize the chemotactic active lipid mediator leukotriene B4 (LTB4) into the dihydro-LTB4 by reduction of one of the conjugated double bonds. We herein report that human HL-60 cells (a myeloid precursor which can be differentiated into granulocyte- as well as monocyte-like cells by dimethyl sulphoxide or phorbol myristate acetate) express a highly active LTB4 reductase in the undifferentiated state. Differentiation by dimethyl sulphoxide (1.3%) along the granulocyte lineage, as confirmed by light microscopy, conversion of NitroBlue Tetrazolium into formazan, failed to induce a substantial capacity for omega-oxidation of LTB4; this reaction is exclusively found in mature granulocytes. Studies with the cell homogenate of undifferentiated HL-60 cells indicated that the activity of the enzyme depends on the presence of NADPH, Ca2+ and Mg2+, with a pH optimum of 7.5 at 37 degrees C. The enzyme was not released into the supernatant after stimulation of HL-60 cells with phorbol myristate acetate (100 ng) or Ca2+ ionophore (7.5 microM). Subcellular fractionation revealed evidence that the LTB4 reductase is located within the membrane fraction. Purification of the enzyme by gel filtration and gel electrophoresis suggests an apparent molecular mass of 40 kDa.

Oxidative stress-mediated intrinsic apoptosis in human promyelocytic leukemia HL-60 cells induced by organic arsenicals.

Project description:Arsenic trioxide has shown the excellent therapeutic efficiency for acute promyelocytic leukemia. Nowadays, more and more research focuses on the design of the arsenic drugs, especially organic arsenicals, and on the mechanism of the inducing cell death. Here we have synthesized some organic arsenicals with Schiff base structure, which showed a better antitumor activity for three different kinds of cancer cell lines, namely HL-60, SGC 7901 and MCF-7. Compound 2a (2-(((4-(oxoarsanyl)phenyl)imino)methyl)phenol) and 2b (2-methoxy-4-(((4-(oxoarsanyl)phenyl)imino)methyl)phenol) were chosen for further mechanism study due to their best inhibitory activities for HL-60 cells, of which the half inhibitory concentration (IC50) were 0.77 μM and 0.51 μM, respectively. It was illustrated that 2a or 2b primarily induced the elevation of reactive oxygen species, decrease of glutathione level, collapse of mitochondrial membrane potential, release of cytochrome c, activation of Caspase-3 and apoptosis, whereas all of the phenomena can be eliminated by the addition of antioxidants. Therefore, we concluded that compound 2a and 2b can induce the oxidative stress-mediated intrinsic apoptosis in HL-60 cells. Both the simplicity of structure with Schiff base group and the better anticancer efficiency demonstrate that organic arsenicals are worthy of further exploration as a class of potent antitumor drugs.

Biosynthesis, transport and processing of myeloperoxidase in the human leukaemic promyelocytic cell line HL-60 and normal marrow cells.

Project description:The processing and intracellular transport of myeloperoxidase were studied in the human promyelocytic leukaemia cell line HL-60 and in normal marrow cells labelled with [35S]methionine or [14C]leucine. Myeloperoxidase was precipitated with antimyeloperoxidase serum; the immunoprecipitates were subjected to sodium dodecyl sulphate/polyacrylamide-gel electrophoresis and radiolabelled myeloperoxidase visualized by fluorography. During a 1 h pulse, myeloperoxidase was labelled in a chain of apparent Mr 90 000. With a subsequent chase, the Mr 90 000 polypeptide disappeared and was replaced by chains of Mr 62 000 and 12 400 corresponding roughly to the size of neutrophil myeloperoxidase subunits. The identification of the radioactive polypeptides as different forms of myeloperoxidase was established also by the similarity in patterns generated by partial proteolysis with V8 proteinase from Staphylococcus aureus. Processing of myeloperoxidase in HL-60 was slow; mature polypeptides were significantly increased only after 6 h. Another myeloperoxidase chain of apparent Mr 82 000 was an intermediate precursor or degradation form. Pulse-chase experiments in combination with sucrose-density-gradient separations of homogenates showed that the Mr 90 000 precursor was located in light density organelles only and not in granule fractions, whereas the Mr 82 000 precursor was located only in intermediate density organelles, suggesting that the latter is a product of the former. Processed mature myeloperoxidase was concentrated in the granule fraction, but some occurred in lower density organelles, which may indicate processing during intracellular transport. Only the Mr 90 000 polypeptide was secreted into the culture medium; this was also the only form found in the cytosol fraction.

Regulation of ROS-Dependent JNK Pathway by 2'-Hydroxycinnamaldehyde Inducing Apoptosis in Human Promyelocytic HL-60 Leukemia Cells.

Project description:The present study demonstrated that 2'-hydroxycinnamaldehyde (2'-HCA) induced apoptosis in human promyelocytic leukemia HL-60 cells through the activation of mitochondrial pathways including (1) translocation of Bim and Bax from the cytosol to mitochondria, (2) downregulation of Bcl-2 protein expression, (3) cytochrome c release into the cytosol, (4) loss of mitochondrial membrane potential (ΔΨm), and (5) caspase activation. 2'-HCA also induced the activation of c-Jun N-terminal kinase (JNK) and extracellular signal-regulated kinase1/2 (ERK1/2) in HL-60 cells. The pharmacological and genetic inhibition of JNK effectively prevented 2'-HCA-induced apoptosis and activator protein-1 (AP-1)-DNA binding. In addition, 2'-HCA resulted in the accumulation of reactive oxygen species (ROS) and depletion of intracellular glutathione (GSH) and protein thiols (PSH) in HL-60 cells. NAC treatment abrogated 2'-HCA-induced JNK phosphorylation, AP-1-DNA binding, and Bim mitochondrial translocation, suggesting that oxidative stress may be required for 2'-HCA-induced intrinsic apoptosis. Xenograft mice inoculated with HL-60 leukemia cells demonstrated that the intraperitoneal administration of 2'-HCA inhibited tumor growth by increasing of TUNEL staining, the expression levels of nitrotyrosine and pro-apoptotic proteins, but reducing of PCNA protein expression. Taken together, our findings suggest that 2'-HCA induces apoptosis via the ROS-dependent JNK pathway and could be considered as a potential therapeutic agent for leukemia.

Differentiated vs. undifferentiated promyelocytic cell lines (HL-60 and KG-1) and Neutrophiles

Project description:We identify the tetraspanin CD82 as the recognition site for xenogeneic endothelial cells independently of Gala1,3-gal structures. We demonstrate that in contrast to undifferentiated cells, differentiated promyelocytic cell lines (HL-60, THP-1 and KG-1) are capable of recognizing xenogeneic porcine endothelial cells in a calcium-dependent manner. We used serial analysis of gene expression (SAGE) to identify the differentially expressed transcripts in these cell lines. Interrogation of these transcripts revealed a number of differentially expressed genes that include the Gala1,3-gal-independent recognition moiety(s). Comparing these SAGE transcripts with those expressed in resting human naive neutrophils identified the tetraspanin CD82 as the most likely candidate responsible for xenogeneic recognition. Blocking antibodies to CD82 in human naive neutrophils inhibited the calcium response and abolished the subsequent Reactive Oxygen Metabolite (ROM) production evoked by the xenogeneic encounter of either Gala1,3-gal knockout or wild-type porcine aortic endothelial cells. Our data identify CD82 on innate immune cells as the major recognition moiety of the xenogeneic endothelium, independently of Gala1,3-gal-structures and open new avenues of intervention to making xenotransplantation a clinical reality.
