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

ABSTRACT: 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.

Inhibition by pertussis toxin of the activation of Na(+)-dependent uridine transport in dimethyl-sulphoxide-induced HL-60 leukaemia cells.

Project description:The effects of pertussis toxin on the Na(+)-dependent transport of uridine were studied in HL-60 leukaemia cells induced to differentiate along the granulocytic or monocytic pathways by dimethyl sulphoxide (DMSO) or phorbol 12-myristate 13-acetate (PMA) respectively. Pertussis toxin at 50 ng/ml completely inhibited the activation of Na(+)-dependent uridine transport and consequently prevented the formation of intracellular pools of free uridine which occurs in HL-60 cells induced to differentiate by DMSO. The inhibition of Na(+)-dependent uridine transport by pertussis toxin in cells exposed to DMSO was associated with a 14-fold decrease in affinity, with no change in Vmax. Pertussis toxin, however, had no effect on Na(+)-dependent uridine transport in PMA-induced HL-60 cells. Furthermore, 500 ng of cholera toxin/ml had no effect on the Na(+)-dependent uptake of uridine in DMSO-treated HL-60 cells. These results suggest that the activation of the Na(+)-dependent transport of uridine in HL-60 cells induced to differentiate along the granulocytic pathway by DMSO is coupled to a pertussis-toxin-sensitive guanine-nucleotide binding protein (G-protein).

Increased expression of the inositol 1,4,5-trisphosphate receptor in human leukaemic (HL-60) cells differentiated with retinoic acid or dimethyl sulphoxide.

Project description:The Ins(1,4,5)P3 receptor was examined in human promyelocytic leukaemic cells (HL-60) and in HL-60 cells differentiated towards granulocytes with either retinoic acid (RA) or dimethyl sulphoxide (Me2SO). HL-60 cell membranes enriched in marker enzyme activities of the endoplasmic reticulum and the plasma membrane possess a high-affinity binding site for [3H]Ins(1,4,5)P3 (KD = 22 nM). Electrotransfer studies indicate that Ins(1,4,[32P]5)P3 binds specifically to a 260 kDa protein of HL-60 cell membranes. This Ins(1,4,5)P3-binding protein selectively binds Ca(2+)-mobilizing inositol phosphates and other inositol phosphates which also bind to the purified InsP3 receptor, suggesting that the Ins(1,4,5)P3-binding protein of HL-60 cell membranes is the InsP3 receptor. When HL-60 cells are incubated with 1 microM-RA or with 1.25% Me2SO the cells differentiate within 5-7 days into cells resembling neutrophils in both structure and function. Treated cells cease to proliferate, acquire the ability to reduce Nitro Blue Tetrazolium dye, and undergo morphological changes typical of differentiated granulocytes. Concomitant with HL-60 cell differentiation, the maximal [3H]Ins(1,4,5)P3 binding in membranes increases 3-4-fold, with no change in KD. The results suggest that there is an absolute increase in the level of the InsP3 receptor during HL-60 cell differentiation and that the expression of this signal-transducing protein may be specifically regulated by differentiation factors.

Resveratrol induces autophagy-dependent apoptosis in HL-60 cells.

Project description:BACKGROUND:All known mechanisms of apoptosis induced by resveratrol act through cell cycle arrest and changes in mitochondrial membrane potential. It is currently unknown whether resveratrol-induced apoptosis is associated with other physiological processes, such as autophagy. METHODS:Apoptosis-related markers involved in the intrinsic and extrinsic apoptotic pathways, and autophagic markers were detected by using western blotting and immunofluorescence. Mitochondrial membrane potential was assayed by flow cytometry. Pharmaceutical or genetic inhibition of autophagy involved were carried by 3- methyladenine or knockdown of autophagy-related (Atg) genes by siRNA. Differences between two values were tested by Student's unpaired t test. RESULTS:We show that resveratrol-induced apoptosis occurs through both the intrinsic and extrinsic apoptotic pathways. Mitochondrial membrane potential and apoptosis-related markers, such as an increased Bax/Bcl-2 ratio, and cleaved forms of caspase-8 and caspase-3, arise following resveratrol addition. Moreover, we find that resveratrol increases both the levels of microtubule-associated protein 1 light chain 3-II and the number of autophagosomes, and further demonstrate that resveratrol-induced autophagy depends on the LKB1-AMPK-mTOR pathway. We next reveal that some apoptosis-related markers induced by resveratrol are further attenuated by the inhibition of autophagy with 3-methyladenine or knockdown of autophagy-related (Atg) genes by siRNA. CONCLUSIONS:These results suggest that resveratrol induced apoptotic cell death of HL-60 cells depends on the autophagy activated through both the LKB1-AMPK and PI3K/AKT-regulated mTOR signaling pathways.

Nuclear translocation of beta-actin is involved in transcriptional regulation during macrophage differentiation of HL-60 cells.

Project description:Studies have shown that nuclear translocation of actin occurs under certain conditions of cellular stress; however, the functional significance of actin import remains unclear. Here, we demonstrate that during the phorbol 12-myristate 13-acetate (PMA)-induced differentiation of HL-60 cells toward macrophages, beta-actin translocates from the cytoplasm to the nucleus and that this process is dramatically inhibited by pretreatment with p38 mitogen-activated protein kinase inhibitors. Using chromatin immunoprecipitation-on-chip assays, the genome-wide maps of beta-actin binding to gene promoters in response to PMA treatment is analyzed in HL-60 cells. A gene ontology-based analysis shows that the identified genes belong to a broad spectrum of functional categories such as cell growth and differentiation, signal transduction, response to external stimulus, ion channel activity, and immune response. We also demonstrate a correlation between beta-actin occupancy and the recruitment of RNA polymerase II at six selected target genes, and beta-actin knockdown decreases the mRNA expression levels of these target genes induced by PMA. We further show that nuclear beta-actin is required for PMA-induced transactivation of one target gene, solute carrier family 11 member 1, which is important for macrophage activation. Our data provide novel evidence that nuclear accumulation of beta-actin is involved in transcriptional regulation during macrophage-like differentiation of HL-60 cells.

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

Project description: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.

Automatic quantitative analysis of morphology of apoptotic HL-60 cells.

Project description:Morphological identification is a widespread procedure to assess the presence of apoptosis by visual inspection of the morphological characteristics or the fluorescence images. The procedure is lengthy and results are observer dependent. A quantitative automatic analysis is objective and would greatly help the routine work. We developed an image processing and segmentation method which combined the Otsu thresholding and morphological operators for apoptosis study. An automatic determination method of apoptotic stages of HL-60 cells with fluorescence images was developed. Comparison was made between normal cells, early apoptotic cells and late apoptotic cells about their geometric parameters which were defined to describe the features of cell morphology. The results demonstrated that the parameters we chose are very representative of the morphological characteristics of apoptotic cells. Significant differences exist between the cells in different stages, and automatic quantification of the differences can be achieved.

Chemotaxis and swarming in differentiated HL-60 neutrophil-like cells.

Project description:The human leukemia cell line (HL-60) is an alternative to primary neutrophils in research studies. However, because HL-60 cells proliferate in an incompletely differentiated state, they must undergo differentiation before they acquire the functional properties of neutrophils. Here we provide evidence of swarming and chemotaxis in differentiated HL-60 neutrophil-like cells (dHL-60) using precise microfluidic assays. We found that dimethyl sulfoxide differentiated HL-60 cells (DdHL-60) have a larger size, increased length, and lower ability to squeeze through narrow channels compared to primary neutrophils. They migrate through tapered microfluidic channels slower than primary neutrophils, but faster than HL-60s differentiated by other protocols, e.g., using all-trans retinoic acid. We found that dHL-60 can swarm toward zymosan particle clusters, though they display disorganized migratory patterns and produce swarms of smaller size compared to primary neutrophils.

Temperature-sensitive migration dynamics in neutrophil-differentiated HL-60 cells.

Project description:Cell migration plays an essential role in wound healing and inflammatory processes inside the human body. Peripheral blood neutrophils, a type of polymorphonuclear leukocyte (PMN), are the first cells to be activated during inflammation and subsequently migrate toward an injured tissue or infection site. This response is dependent on both biochemical signaling and the extracellular environment, one aspect of which includes increased temperature in the tissues surrounding the inflammation site. In our study, we analyzed temperature-dependent neutrophil migration using differentiated HL-60 cells. The migration speed of differentiated HL-60 cells was found to correlate positively with temperature from 30 to 42 °C, with higher temperatures inducing a concomitant increase in cell detachment. The migration persistence time of differentiated HL-60 cells was higher at lower temperatures (30-33 °C), while the migration persistence length stayed constant throughout the temperature range. Coupled with the increased speed observed at high temperatures, this suggests that neutrophils are primed to migrate more effectively at the elevated temperatures characteristic of inflammation. Temperature gradients exist on both cell and tissue scales. Taking this into consideration, we also investigated the ability of differentiated HL-60 cells to sense and react to the presence of temperature gradients, a process known as thermotaxis. Using a two-dimensional temperature gradient chamber with a range of 27-43 °C, we observed a migration bias parallel to the gradient, resulting in both positive and negative thermotaxis. To better mimic the extracellular matrix (ECM) environment in vivo, a three-dimensional collagen temperature gradient chamber was constructed, allowing observation of biased neutrophil-like differentiated HL-60 migration toward the heat source.

KN-62 analogues as potent differentiating agents of HL-60 cells.

Project description:KN-62, an inhibitor of the calmodulin-dependent protein kinases (CaMKs), enhances the terminal differentiation of retinoic acid sensitive human myeloid leukemia cell lines. In an effort to identify additional CaMK inhibitors that exhibit more potent activity in triggering leukemia cell differentiation, we synthesized 45 analogues of KN-62 and determined their ability to induce HL-60 cell differentiation. Sixteen of these novel analogues exhibited significant differentiation-inducing activity, and one analogue, AS-004, was five times more potent than KN-62 in inhibiting proliferation and inducing differentiation of HL-60 cells. Such KN-62 analogues and/or related compounds may prove useful in treating promyelocytic leukemia.
