The human cell lines HL-60 (acute promyelocytic leukemia) and U-937 (histiocytic monoblast-like lymphoma) differentiate to functionally mature cells by incubation with retinoic acid (RA). This differentiation is potentiated by agents known to increase intracellular cyclic adenosine 3':5'-monophosphate (cAMP) levels. The present study shows that these cells can be primed for differentiation by treatment for approximately one day with RA followed by exposure to a cAMP-inducing agent. The reverse sequence was ineffective. Thus, HL-60 could be primed by incubation for less than 20 hr with 10 nM RA to respond by differentiation to the addition of 10 nM prostaglandin E2 or 1 nM cholera toxin, whereas 10 nM RA alone was almost inactive. RA-primed HL-60 also responded with differentiation to a concentration of T-lymphocyte-derived differentiation-inducing factor which alone was inactive. U-937 primed by incubation for 24 hr with 100 nM RA responded to cAMP-inducing agents and differentiation-inducing factor, which alone were inactive on this cell line. Priming of these cell lines does not depend on the normal rate of protein synthesis, as it occurs even better in the presence of a concentration of cycloheximide that inhibits growth completely, suggesting that a decrease in synthesis of some protein(s) favors RA-induced differentiation. Cycloheximide alone produced some priming of HL-60 but not of U-937. HL-60, but not U-937, primed with RA responded to adenosine triphosphate and other nucleoside triphosphates, consistent with the notion that modulation of the RA effect may be mediated through protein kinase activity at the plasma membrane. The finding that myeloid cell lines, like HL-60 and U-937, blocked at a late stage of maturation can be primed by RA to respond to cAMP-inducing agents and differentiation-inducing factor may improve our understanding of the arrest in maturation typical of some forms of leukemia.

Retinoic acid induces the differentiation of many murine teratocarcinoma stem cell lines. To elucidate the molecular mechanism of action of retinoic acid, we have selected a series of mutants which exhibit altered differentiation responses to retinoic acid. All of the mutants display abnormal morphology following addition of 5 X 10(-7) M retinoic acid (RA) and dibutyryl cAMP. In addition, none of the mutants are resistant to the cytotoxic effects of higher concentrations of retinoic acid (greater than 75 microM). After the addition of retinoic acid, one mutant, RA-3-10, does not differentiate by any of the biochemical criteria we have used; this mutant also possesses less than 5% of the wild type level of cellular retinoic acid binding protein (CRABP). Other mutants, such as RA-3-3, RA-3-4, and RA-5-1, contain the same amount of CRABP as wild type F9 cells. However, the mutants RA-3-3 and RA-3-4 exhibit lower levels of plasminogen activator activity, and RA-3-4 also exhibits only 10-20% of the wild type synthesis and secretion of laminin and collagen IV following treatment with RA. After RA treatment of the mutant RA-5-1, laminin and collagen IV are synthesized and secreted at reduced rates relative to wild type cells, and the secreted collagen IV has a lower molecular weight than that of wild type; this suggests that RA-5-1 cells have a mutation in one of the enzymes responsible for post-translational modification of collagen IV. None of the mutants tested exhibits alterations in either cytosolic or membrane bound cAMP-dependent protein kinase activity. These studies provide genetic evidence that the CRABP is required for the differentiation of F9 teratocarcinoma stem cells by retinoic acid. However, even in the presence of CRABP, other types of alterations, such as synthesis of collagen IV with an abnormal molecular weight, appear to cause alterations in the differentiation response of cells to retinoic acid.

In order to determine if cyclic adenosine 3':5'-monophosphate- (cyclic AMP)-dependent protein kinase has a role in the expression of chemically induced differentiation of HL-60 cells, levels and subcellular distribution of this enzyme were studied during this process. Cyclic AMP binding protein and stimulated kinase activities increased moderately in cytosol and more markedly in nucleosol and nonhistone chromatin-associated protein fractions of cells induced to differentiate with dimethyl sulfoxide or 12-O-tetradecanoylphorbol-13-acetate. Retinoic acid induced similar cytosolic changes but less marked intranuclear increases. Nuclear increases did not occur in the differentiation-resistant subline, HL-60 Blast II, treated with dimethyl sulfoxide. DEAE-cellulose chromatography, as well as photoaffinity labeling and gel electrophoresis, disclosed higher ratios of type I to type II kinase in cytosol than in intranuclear fractions. Differences of the qualitative binding protein patterns between cytosol and nucleosol were enhanced following chemically induced differentiation. Dibutyryl cyclic AMP increased cytoplasmic and nuclear binding protein levels when given alone or in combination with retinoic acid or dimethyl sulfoxide, and it enhanced differentiation. These results suggest that intranuclear cyclic AMP-dependent protein kinase is associated with the expression of the differentiative program in HL-60 cells.

The human leukemia cell line HL60 which resembles promyelocytes can be induced to differentiate to cells displaying features of the mature myeloid phenotype by a variety of agents including retinoic acid (RA) and agents that elevate intracellular adenosine 3:5 cyclic monophosphate (cyclic AMP) levels, e.g., 8-bromo-cyclic adenosine 3:5 monophosphate (8-Br-cyclic AMP), cholera toxin. Since most, if not all the effects of cyclic AMP, are mediated by adenosine 3:5 cyclic monophosphate-dependent protein kinase (cyclic AMP-dPK), we investigated the role of cyclic AMP-dPK and adenosine 3:5 cyclic monophosphate-independent protein kinase (cyclic AMP-iPK) in the induced differentiation of HL60 cells. Marked stimulation of cyclic AMP-dPK and cyclic AMP-iPK appears to be intimately involved with and specific for HL60 myeloid differentiation as evidenced by: (1) Stimulation of cyclic AMP-dPK and cyclic AMP-iPK early during HL60 myeloid differentiation and prior to phenotypic changes. (2) RA and dimethylformamide (DMF), agents that induce differentiation along the myeloid pathway, cause a marked increase in the type l cytosolic cyclic AMP-dPK and cyclic AMP-iPK (protamine kinase) while no such increases are noted in cells treated with 12-0-tetradecanoyl-phorbol-13-acetate (TPA) which induces differentiation along the monocyte/macrophage pathway. (3) Both native polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis as well as photoaffinity labeling with 8-azido-cyclic AMP demonstrate marked increases in type l cyclic AMP-dPK in the cytosols of cells exposed to agents that induce myeloid differentiation but no increase in TPA-differentiated cells. (4) The appearance and disappearance of specific cyclic AMP-dependent and -independent protein phosphorylations are associated with the induced myeloid differentiated state.

We have previously reported [(1980) J. Biol. Chem. 255, 5999-6002] that retinoic acid inhibited growth and increased cyclic-AMP-dependent protein kinase activity in mouse melanoma cells. A variant melanoma line having depressed levels of cyclic-AMP-dependent protein kinase was not growth-inhibited by retinoic acid. In this report we describe the effect of retinoic acid on cyclic AMP binding proteins in B16 mouse melanoma cells. Using the technique of photoaffinity labeling, we found three major proteins of Mr 49 000, 52 000, and 55 000 which were specifically labeled with 8-N3-[32P]AMP in both control and treated cells. Based upon their molecular weight, relative affinity for 8-N3-[32P]AMP and comigration with standards, we have designated the 49 000-Mr and 55 000-Mr species as RI and RII respectively. The position of the intermediate band (Mr 52 000) was not affected by pre-incubation with ATP or alkaline phosphatase, and two-dimensional gel analysis indicated that it had the same pI as RI. Retinoic acid increased the 8-N3-[32P]AMP labeling of RI within 24 h, reaching a maximal six fold increase by 48 h. These increases were limited to the 40 000 X g supernatant fraction and occurred prior to any growth inhibition. By using increasing concentrations of 8-N3-cAMP we were able to construct a saturation curve for RI binding. Calculation of apparent Kd values from these curves showed nearly identical affinities for RI binding of 8-N3-cAMP from control and retinoic-acid-treated cells. Therefore we conclude that retinoic acid is increasing the amount of RI rather than altering its properties. Corroboration of these results was obtained by DEAE-cellulose chromatography. Peak I (corresponding to type I protein kinase) from retinoid-treated cells was increased about six fold in binding activity.

Ca2+-activated, phospholipid-dependent protein kinase from rabbit retina was partially purified. Vitamin A acid (retinoic acid) stimulated this protein kinase in the presence of Ca2+, while other metabolites of vitamin A such as retinol or retinal were less effective. The order of the extent of phosphorylation of the various substrate proteins by this protein kinase was identical in the presence of vitamin A acid or phosphatidylserine. The major spots of the 32P labeled peptide from histone H1 phosphorylated in the presence of vitamin A acid by this protein kinase did not differ from those obtained from histone H1 phosphorylated in the presence of phosphatidylserine. Retinol caused a further enhancement of the enzymatic activity, whereas the addition of retinal inhibited the activation by vitamin A acid. Thus, vitamin A and its metabolites may play an important role in the regulation of Ca2+-activated, phospholipid-dependent protein kinase activity in the retina.

We have addressed the question of the possible presence of calcium-activated phospholipid-dependent protein kinase (Ca2+-PL protein kinase) activity in undifferentiated embryonal carcinoma cells, and if this activity might be altered during differentiation to a parietal endoderm cell type. Undifferentiated nullipotent F9 embryonal carcinoma cells, as well as differentiated parietal endoderm cells (PYS-2), were utilized. Using an in vitro assay with histone H1 as phosphate acceptor, Ca2+-PL protein kinase activity could not be found in the 100,000 X g supernatant prepared from either cell type. However, passage of 100,000 X g supernatant from PYS cells over a DEAE-cellulose column revealed Ca2+-PL protein kinase activity which eluted with 0.045 M NaCl. The partially purified PYS enzyme has an approximate Mr = 70,000 as determined by Sephadex G-150 gel filtration, and exhibits an apparent Ka for Ca2+ of 32 microM. The PYS Ca2+-PL protein kinase also exhibits a requirement for Mg2+, with maximal activity noted at 10 mM Mg2+. This enzyme is stimulated by acidic phospholipids, while neutral phospholipids such as phosphatidylcholine have little effect. Diacylglycerol markedly increased histone H1 phosphorylation in the presence of Ca2+ and phospholipid. Unlike that of PYS cells, when the 100,000 X g supernatant prepared from F9 cells was passed over a DEAE-cellulose column no Ca2+-PL protein kinase activity could be found in the eluted fractions. Previously it has been reported that exposure of F9 cells to all-trans-retinoic acid induces differentiation to a parietal endoderm cell type. Treatment of F9 cells with 0.1 microM retinoic acid provoked a time-dependent increase in cytosolic Ca2+-PL protein kinase activity as measured after DEAE-cellulose chromatography of the 100,000 X g supernatant. This increase in Ca2+-PL protein kinase activity correlates with differentiation to the parietal endoderm cell type. These findings indicate that cytosolic Ca2+-PL protein kinase activity is very low, or nonexistent, in undifferentiated embryonal carcinoma stem cells. With differentiation to a parietal endoderm cell type there is a marked increase in soluble Ca2+-PL protein kinase activity which exhibits properties similar to those described for this enzyme in other differentiated tissues.

The phosphorylation of retinoic acid receptor-alpha 1 (RAR alpha 1) by PKA was investigated both in vitro and in vivo. We show that bacterially expressed RAR alpha 1 is phosphorylated in vitro by protein kinase A (PKA) at the unique serine residue 369 located in the C-terminal end of the E region. We also show that RAR alpha 1 overexpressed in COS-1 cells is phosphorylated on multiple serine residues and that phosphorylation at serine 369 occurs only when COS-1 cells are cotransfected with PKA or treated with forskolin. RAR alpha 1 mutants were constructed in which serine 369 was replaced by an alanine (S369A) or a glutamic acid (S369E) residue. Comparison of the tryptic phosphopeptide patterns of wild type and mutated RAR alpha 1 overexpressed in COS-1 cells allowed us to confirm that serine 369 is the unique phosphorylation site for PKA in cultured cells. The DNA-binding efficiency of RAR alpha/retinoid X receptor-alpha (RXR alpha) heterodimers was enhanced in vitro by the S369E mutation. However, in transfected RAC65 cells, the same S369E mutation did not affect the ligand-dependent transcriptional activation by RAR alpha 1 of reporter genes containing a retinoic acid (RA)-response element. In contrast, the S369A mutation slightly decreased both DNA binding and the efficiency of PKA to enhance RA-induced transactivation by RAR alpha 1. Finally, we show that endogenous RAR alpha is also phosphorylated in vivo at serine 369 in forskolin-treated F9 cells, supporting the idea that phosphorylation of RARs at this site is involved in the modulation of the RA-induced differentiation of F9 cells by (Bu)2cAMP.

Retinoylation (retinoic acid acylation) is a posttranslational modification of proteins occurring in many eukaryotic cell lines. The widespread occurrence of retinoylation suggests that it may play a role in many effects of retinoic acid (RA) on cells. The regulatory subunits of cyclic AMP-dependent protein kinase are retinoylated in the human myeloid leukemia cell line HL60 (Takahashi, N., Liapi, C., Anderson, W. B., and Breitman, T. R. (1991) Arch. Biochem. Biophys. 290, 293-302), and cytokeratins are retinoylated in normal human keratinocytes (Takahashi, N., Jetten, A. M., and Breitman, T. R. (1991) Biochem. Biophys. Res. Commun. 180, 393-400). We show, in this study, that the intermediate filament protein vimentin is retinoylated in HL60 cells during a 24-h exposure to 100 nM [3H]RA. We found that a retinoylated protein of M(r) 55,000 coeluted on anion exchange chromatography and comigrated on either one- or two-dimensional polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis with a protein that also was stained on immunoblots by an anti-vimentin antibody. About 50% of the [3H]RA was released from this M(r) 55,000 retinoylated protein after hydrolysis with either NH2OH (1 M, pH 10) or CH3OH, 0.1 M KOH. These results indicated that a large fraction of the RA was bound to vimentin by an ester bond. Both the M(r) 55,000 retinoylated protein and immunoreactive vimentin were associated with cell nuclei isolated by two procedures. They were detached during exposure to a nonionic detergent buffer, suggesting that they are bound to the nuclear envelope. These results indicate that retinoylation is a new modification of vimentin that may be an early event in RA-induced differentiation of HL60 cells.

The human acute promyelocytic leukemia (APL) cell line HL-60 differentiates to functionally mature granulocytes by incubation with all-trans-retinoic acid (RA). Since T3 and RA are important in cell differentiation and development, and since their receptors are highly homological, we investigated the T3 effects on RA-induced HL-60 cell differentiation. Although T3 alone did not induce cell differentiation, RA-mediated differentiation was significantly enhanced in the presence of 10(-7) M T3. This effect of T3 was considered to be mediated, at least in part, by increased intracellular cAMP, since the phosphodiesterase inhibitor enhanced, and the protein kinase A antagonist partially blocked, T3 potentiation. When HL-60 cells were pretreated with RA for 20 h, T3 alone stimulated the cell differentiation. The time-course study showed that incubation with RA for 12 h was necessary for HL-60 cells to be primed to respond to T3 for differentiation. The present finding that T3 potentiates RA-induced HL-60 cell differentiation may raise the possibility that T3 supplement increases clinical remission in APL patients who are treated with RA.
