HL60) Variants Insensitive to Phorbol Ester Tumor Promoters1 [CANCER RESEARCH 44, 3280-3285, August 1984] Analysis of Human Promyelocytic Leukemia Cell (HL60) Variants Insensitive to Phorbol Ester Tumor Promoters1 Deborah W.

Fatty Acid Metabolism Mediated by 12/15-Lipoxygenase is a Novel Regulator of Hematopoietic Stem Cell Function and Myelopoiesis Abstract Fatty acid metabolism governs critical cellular processes in multiple cell types. The goal of my dissertation was to investigate the intersection between fatty acid metabolism and hematopoiesis. Although fatty acid metabolism has been extensively studied in mature hematopoietic subsets during inflammation, in developing hematopoietic cells the role of fatty acid metabolism, in particular by 12/ 15-Lipoxygenase (12/15-LOX), was unknown. The observation that 12/15-LOX-deficient (Alox15) mice developed a myeloid leukemia instigated my studies since leukemias are often a consequence of dysregulated hematopoiesis. This observation lead to the central hypothesis of this dissertation which is that polyunsaturated fatty acid metabolism mediated by 12/15-LOX participates in hematopoietic development. Using genetic mouse models and in vitro and in vivo cell development assays, I found that 12/15-LOX indeed regulates multiple stages of hematopoiesis including the function of hematopoietic stem cells (HSC) and the differentiation of B cells, T cells, basophils, granulocytes and monocytes.

To identify potent therapeutic targets with the ability to block multiple cancer-driving pathways is thus imperative. The unique peptidyl-prolyl cis-trans isomerase Pin1 has been reported to promote tumorigenesis through upregulation of numerous cancer-driving pathways. Although Pin1 is a key drug target for treating acute promyelocytic leukemia (APL) caused by a fusion oncogene, much less is known about the role of Pin1 in other heterogeneous leukemia. Methods: The mRNA and protein levels of Pin1 were detected in samples from de novo leukemia patients and healthy controls using real-time quantitative RT-PCR (qRT-PCR) and western blot. The establishment of the lentiviral stable-expressed short hairpin RNA (shRNA) system and the tetracycline-inducible shRNA system for targeting Pin1 were used to analyze the biological function of Pin1

The levels and patterns of gene expression differ greatly between differentiated and undifferentiated HL60 cells. Epigenetic histone modifications play a crucial role in transcriptional activation and alterations in the modification levels greatly affect the gene expression pattern. Acetylation of Histone H4 Lysine 16 (H4K16ac) is one such modification and has a significant role in transcriptional activation. Changes in its acetylation level either due to a physiological or pathological effect will have a dramatic effect on cellular gene expression. Here, a study was done to see the effect of TPA induced differentiation on H4K16ac levels in HL60 cells. Results obtained from flow cytometric analysis showed expression of macrophage cell surface marker CD11b on TPA differentiated HL60 cells and the western blots revealed a drastic downregulation of H4K16ac in differentiated cells. Immunoblotting and co-immunoprecipitation assay revealed DNA damage dependent enhancement of H4K16 acetylation and its co-localization with γH2AX in undifferentiated cells. Whereas, TPA differentiated cells (CD11B+ve) didn’t show any such enhancement in H4K16acetylation levels in the presence of DNA damage.

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 stud- ied cells. The presence of these cytokines in the cell environment caused not only increased F-actin labeling in the cyto- plasm, but also a weaker intensity of peripheral ring staining in comparison with control cells. In spite of the fact that HL- 60 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 differen- tiation process, with regard to the kind of stimulating factor used.

  • HL60 Cell Line Profile
    Cell line profile HL60 (ECACC catalogue no. 98070106) Cell line history HL60 is a human cell line derived from peripheral blood lymphocytes of a 36 year old woman suffering from acute promyleocytic leukaemia. It was one of the first human myeloid leukaemia cells to be established as a continuous suspension cell culture which had previously been difficult to achieve. Some attempts to create a long-term human myeloid leukaemia suspension using the Epstein-Barr virus (EBV) had occasionally generated cell lines, however it was found that these cells originated from other lymphocytes, not the leukaemia myeloid cells (Collins et al, 1977). 48 hours post resuscitation. Prior to cryopreservation. Key characteristics HL60 is a suspension cell line with a lymphoblastic morphology. It is known that around 10% of HL60 cells spontaneously differentiate (Gallagher et al, 1979); however differentiation can also be stimulated by a number of polar planar compounds such as DMF (0.8% v/v), and DMSO (1% - 1.5% v/v) and other known inducers of differentiation such as hypoxanthine, actinomycin D, retinoic acid (Fleck et al, 2005) or mixtures of retinoic acid and sodium butyrate (He and Breitman, 1991). HL60 cells can also be induced towards a monocyte/macrophage morphology using sodium butyrate alone (Martinez et al, 2002) or phorbol myristic acid, (PMA) (Padilla et al, 2000). Applications This cell line can be used as a model to study the cellular and molecular events involved in the proliferation and differentiation of leukaemic cells (Collins, 1987). It has also been used to produce extracellular vesicles (EVs) in studies aiming to understand the effects of leukaemic-derived EVs on human stem cells (Lavoie et al, 2018).
