Stimulation of synthesis de novo of NAD(+)-dependent 15-hydroxyprostaglandin dehydrogenase in human promyelocytic leukaemia (HL-60) cells by phorbol ester.

ABSTRACT: Human promyelocytic leukaemia (HL-60) cells were employed to study the induction of NAD(+)-dependent 15-hydroxyprostaglandin dehydrogenase (15-PGDH), the key enzyme in controlling prostaglandin inactivation. Phorbol 12-myristate 13-acetate (PMA) stimulated 15-PGDH activity in a time- and concentration-dependent manner. Dimethyl sulphoxide (DMSO) also stimulated the enzyme activity, although a much delayed stimulation was observed. Western blot studies indicated that PMA increased significantly a 28 kDa immunoreactive protein characteristic of 15-PGDH. L-[35S]Methionine labelling of the PMA-treated cells showed a similar enhancement over the control cells. These studies indicate that PMA induced synthesis of 15-PGDH. Stimulation of 15-PGDH activity by PMA or DMSO appears to be mediated by protein kinase C activation, since an inactive analogue of PMA failed to induce the effect, and both staurosporine and H-7 blocked the stimulation. Stimulation by PMA was optimal at 10 nM and less effective at higher concentrations. Western blot studies indicated that a similar, if not greater, amount of enzyme protein was induced at high concentrations of PMA, suggesting that enzyme inactivation might be occurring. Possible enzyme inactivation by protein kinase C activation was further examined by incubating DMSO-treated cells with a high concentration of PMA (50 nM). Time-dependent inactivation of 15-PGDH within the first 1 h was observed and this inactivation was partially blocked by staurosporine and H-7. Pulse-chase experiments indicated that 15-PGDH had a rapid turnover rate (t 1/2 = 47 min), and PMA shortened the half-life of the enzyme (t 1/2 = 33 min), suggesting that PMA might have an additional effect on 15-PGDH degradation. The rapid turnover of 15-PGDH indicates that the enzyme activity depends on continued enzyme synthesis, and this could be susceptible to hormone and drug control mechanisms.

Project description:Poly(ADP-ribose) polymerase (PARP) is a nuclear enzyme which has been shown to play a role in the differentiation of haematopoietic cells. We report here that neutrophils are the first nucleated mammalian cell type demonstrated to be devoid of immunoreactive PARP. Both NB4 acute promyelocytic leukaemia and HL-60 (acute myelocytic leukaemia) cells were differentiated into non-malignant neutrophils with all-trans-retinoic acid (ATRA). Western blot analysis demonstrated that ATRA had no effect on PARP expression in HL-60 cells. However, PARP was completely down-regulated in NB4 cells within 36 h of treatment initiation. This decrease in PARP polypeptide coincided with growth arrest and preceded the appearance of neutrophilic differentiation features. NB4 cells require a combination of 1,25-dihydroxyvitamin D3 (1,25-D3) and phorbol 12-myristate 13-acetate (PMA) to differentiate completely into monocyte/macrophages, whereas HL-60 cells can be made to differentiate by combined or single agents. PARP expression was up-regulated 90-fold when NB4 cells were treated with PMA and 1,25-D3 together, and this increase accompanied expression of the monocyte/macrophage phenotype. Only modest changes in PARP expression were observed when each agent was used alone in NB4 cells or when HL-60 cells were differentiated along the monocyte/macrophage pathway. In addition, PARP activity was modulated in a pattern similar to protein levels when NB4 cells were induced to differentiate along the neutrophilic and monocyte/macrophage pathways. This suggests that the activity of PARP may be controlled through regulation of protein levels during NB4 cell differentiation. We conclude that PARP levels are dramatically modulated during monocyte/macrophage and neutrophilic differentiation. On the basis of the tremendous changes in PARP polypeptide and total activity during myeloid differentiation, we propose that modulation of PARP gene expression is required for cellular maturation in both lineages.
