Stimulation of phagocytic cells with micromolar concentrations of extracellular ATP primes the production of toxic oxygen metabolites in response to chemoattractants and independently activates a secretory response in vitro. It is hypothesized that extracellular ATP derived from platelet storage granules and damaged endothelium at sites of localized tissue damage or infection may potentiate the pro-inflammatory effects of phagocytic cells in vivo. ATP-dependent functional responses in the phagocyte appear to be due to stimulation of putative P2 purinoreceptors that are coupled to the activation of a phospholipase C via a pertussis toxin-sensitive G-protein. The existence in nature of at least four subtypes of P2 purinoreceptors has been proposed based on the rank order of potency of nucleotide analogs of ATP studied in a variety of cell types. However, no studies involving the structural identification and characterization of the putative receptors have been reported. We have used the Xenopus oocyte expression system to demonstrate acquired adenosine 5'-(thio) triphosphate (ATP gamma S) responsiveness in oocytes injected with mRNA from the promyelocytic leukemia cell line HL60 by measuring the accelerated efflux of intracellular calcium. Two peaks of ATP gamma S responsiveness (Peak I and Peak II) were detected in sucrose gradient fractionated RNA that corresponded to transcript sizes of 4 and 6 kilobases and that were distinct from a third peak previously shown to be enriched in formyl peptide chemoattractant receptor activity. Peak I and Peak II RNA endowed receptor activity in the oocyte that was pharmacologically indistinguishable: ADP and AMP were inactive whereas UTP and ITP exhibited activity that was similar in potency to that of ATP gamma S. Both Peak I and Peak II ATP gamma S-dependent activity was inhibited by pertussis toxin. These data strongly support the concept of phagocytic cell receptors for extracellular nucleotide triphosphates whose ligand specificity is distinct from all other previously described P2 purinoreceptor subtypes, with the exception of the P2 receptor described in Ehrlich ascites tumor cells, by virtue of the ineffectiveness of ADP as a stimulus. These receptors are most likely composed of a single polypeptide chain that can be expressed in the Xenopus oocyte in a functional form regulated by a pertussis toxin-sensitive G-protein.

Histamine H2 receptor (H2R) has been shown to be coupled to adenylate cyclase. However, we have previously demonstrated that H2R-specific stimulation also activated phospholipase C in human HL-60 promyelocytic leukemia cells (Mitsuhashi M. et al. J. Biol. Chem. 264:18356, 1989). We have extended these studies on HL-60 cells to investigate whether histamine-bovine serum albumin conjugates (HA-BSA) specifically recognize H2R and activate phospholipase C pathways. Both histamine (HA) and HA-BSA increased intracellular concentrations of calcium in a H2R specific manner. However, HA-induced calcium mobilization was transient and returned to the basal level within 1-2 min, whereas HA-BSA-induced calcium mobilization was sustained for more than 10 min as a result of the additional influx of extracellular calcium. More interestingly, fluorescein (FITC) labeled HA-BSA was less incorporated into cytosols and present in the membrane fractions for more than 60 min, whereas membrane-bound FITC-HA was rapidly incorporated into cytosols. Furthermore, the levels of inositol 1,3,4,5-tetrakisphosphate, which is known to activate calcium channels were more sustained after HA-BSA stimulation than those of HA alone. These data suggest that H2R activation mechanism is more complex and may be modified by this slowly metabolized "compound ligand".

Guanine nucleotide binding proteins (G proteins) are regulatory molecules that couple membrane receptors to effector systems such as adenylate cyclase and phospholipase C. The alpha subunits of G proteins bind to guanosine 5'-diphosphate (GDP) in the unstimulated state and guanosine 5' triphosphate (GTP) in the active state. Tiazofurin (2-beta-D-ribofuranosylthiazole-4-carboxamide), a specific inhibitor of inosine monophosphate (IMP) dehydrogenase, decreases guanylate synthesis from IMP in HL-60 promyelocytic leukemia cells and depletes intracellular guanine nucleotide pools. This study demonstrates that treatment of HL-60 cells with tiazofurin is associated with a fourfold increase in membrane binding sites for the nonhydrolyzable analogue GDP beta S. This increase in binding sites was associated with a 3.2-fold decrease in GDP beta S binding affinity. Similar findings were obtained with GTP gamma S. These effects of tiazofurin treatment on guanine nucleotide binding were also associated with decreased adenosine diphosphate-ribosylation of specific G protein substrates by cholera and pertussis toxin. The results further demonstrate that tiazofurin treatment results in inhibition of G protein-mediated transmembrane signaling mechanisms. In this regard, stimulation of adenylate cyclase by prostaglandin E2 was inhibited by over 50% in tiazofurin-treated cells. Furthermore, tiazofurin treatment resulted in inhibition of N-formylmethionylleucylphenylalanine-induced stimulation of phospholipase C. Taken together, these results indicate that tiazofurin acts at least in part by inhibiting the ability of G proteins to function as transducers of intracellular signals.

The effects of Li+ on signal transduction in dibutyryl cAMP-differentiated HL-60 cells were studied. Upon differentiation, these human promyelocytic leukemia cells express a chemotactic formyl peptide receptor, which is coupled through a guanine nucleotide-binding protein to phospholipase C. Stimulation with fMet-Leu-Phe results in changes in intracellular pH which are thought to be mediated by protein kinase C regulation of Na+/H+ antiporter function. Acute LiCl treatment (10 mM) was without any effect on Na+/H+ activity. However, pretreatment of HL-60 cells with 1 or 10 mM LiCl for at least 5 days resulted in a marked attenuation of fMet-Leu-Phe effects on Na+/H+ activity. In undifferentiated HL-60 cells, which lack fMet-Leu-Phe receptors, intracellular acidification induced by the proton ionophore nigericin generates an alkalinization response. Chronic (but not acute) Li+ treatment also resulted in an inhibition of the nigericin-mediated response. Furthermore, stimulation of the Na+/H+ antiporter by the phorbol ester, phorbol-12-myristate-13-acetate, was also markedly attenuated by chronic LiCl treatment, suggesting an impairment of protein kinase C activity. In contrast, fMet-Leu-Phe-induced increases in intracellular Ca2+ and phospho-inositide breakdown were unchanged in cells treated with Li+ for 5 days. These results indicate that chronic but not acute Li+ treatment alters intracellular pH regulation possibly at a site distal to the fMet-Leu-Phe receptor.

We have previously determined that human neutrophils and monocytes, as well as neutrophil/monocyte progenitor cells, express a subtype of P2-purinergic receptors (for ATP) which activate the inositol phospholipid signalling system. In the present study, membranes prepared from HL-60 promyelocytic leukemia cells were used to examine the mechanism by which these ATP receptors activate phosphatidylinositol-specific phospholipase C (PI-PLC) under defined in vitro conditions. Micromolar concentrations of the receptor agonists ATP, UTP, and ATP gamma S stimulated the GTP-dependent formation of inositol bisphosphate (IP2) and inositol trisphosphate (IP3) in washed membranes prepared from undifferentiated HL-60 cells prelabeled with [3H]inositol. The stimulatory effects of these nucleotides on PI-PLC appeared to be mediated through a GTP binding protein since minimal inositol polyphosphate accumulation was observed in the absence of guanine nucleotides. The increased inositol polyphosphate formation triggered by these nucleotide receptor agonists did not result from inhibition of GTP breakdown. Neither was it a consequence of increased [3H]polyphosphatidylinositol levels resulting from enhanced activity of membrane-associated PI- or PIP-kinases. Instead, the stimulated phospholipase activity was apparently receptor-mediated. The rank order of potency observed in these in vitro membrane assays (ATP = UTP greater than ATP gamma S much greater than TTP greater than CTP much greater than beta, gamma-CH-ATP) was similar to that observed with intact HL-60 cells. This order of potency appears to distinguish the P2-purinergic receptors expressed by human phagocytic leukocytes from the P2 gamma-purinergic receptors which activate PI-PLC in turkey erythrocyte membranes.

In order to analyze the complex activities of histamine H2 receptor activation on neutrophils, human HL-60 promyelocytic leukemia cells were differentiated into neutrophils by incubation with dimethyl sufoxide, loaded with the Ca2+-sensitive indicator dyes, indo-1 or fura-2, and the levels of intracellular Ca2+ ([Ca2+]i) measured in a fluorescent-activated cell sorter and fluorimeter, respectively. Histamine increased [Ca2+]i in a dose-dependent manner with a half-maximal concentration (EC50) of approximately 10(-6) to 10(-5) M, which exhibited H2 receptor specificity. Prostaglandin E2 and isoproterenol also induced [Ca2+]i mobilization in HL-60 cells, whereas the cell permeable form of cAMP and forskolin failed to increase [Ca2+]i. Since H2-receptor mediated [Ca2+]i mobilization was not inhibited by reducing the concentration of extracellular Ca2+ nor by the addition of Ca2+ channel antagonists, LaCl3 and nifedipine, [Ca2+]i mobilization is due to the release of Ca2+ from intracellular stores. Furthermore, both 10(-4) M histamine and 10(-6) M fMet-Leu-Phe increased the levels of 1,4,5-inositol trisphosphate. However, histamine-induced mobilization of [Ca2+]i was inhibited by cholera toxin but not by pertussis toxin, whereas the action of fMet-Leu-Phe was inhibited by pertussis toxin but not by cholera toxin. These data suggest that H2 receptors on HL-60 cells are coupled to two different cholera toxin-sensitive G-proteins and activate adenylate cyclase and phospholipase C simultaneously.

A new series of amphiphilic 1-octadecyl glycerolipids (eleven compounds, 1a-k) were designed and synthesized, in which the 3-phosphocholine portion of platelet-activating factor (1-alkyl-2-acetyl-sn-glycero-3-phosphocholine, PAF) was replaced by the 2-(2-trimethylammonioethoxy)ethyl group and congeneric groups having oligo(ethyleneoxy)ethyl bridges of various lengths at position 3, together with modification at position 2 (lower alkyl, acetonyl, acetoacetyl, carboxymethyl and pyrimidin-2-yl groups). These ether lipids, characterized by a nonphosphorus lysoglycerolipid structure, showed potent antitumor activity in vitro (human promyelocytic leukemia cells, HL-60, and human epidermoid carcinoma cells, KB) and in vivo (mouse sarcoma S180 and mouse mammary carcinoma MM46). Maximal in vitro potency was obtained with 1-O-octadecyl-2-O-(2-pyrimidinyl)-3-O-[2-(2-trimethylammonioethoxy )ethyl] glycerol (1g; IC50 values for both HL-60 and KB were 0.32 microgram/ml, indicating a higher activity than alkyl-lysophospholipid, ET18-OMe). Several appropriately 2-substituted 1-octadecylglycerolipids with the 3-[2-(2-trimethylammonioethoxy)ethyl] group (e.g., methyl, 1b; butyl, 1f; 2,2,2-trifluoroethyl, 1j; and acetonyl, 1k) showed a potent life-span-prolonging effect on mice with ascites sarcoma S180 and on those with mammary carcinoma MM46, when administered intraperitoneally at 16.5 and 12.5 mg/kg/d, respectively. Compounds 1b and 1k showed definite tumor growth inhibition against solid sarcoma S180 in mice, whether given p.o. or i.v. at 16.5 mg/kg/d. Studies on the structure-activity relationships indicate that the metabolic stability to phospholipase C or related enzymes is at least partly responsible for the potent antitumor activity of this series of ether lipids.

The mechanisms whereby P2-purinergic receptors for extracellular ATP are coupled to the inositol phospholipid-signaling system were studied in the HL60 human promyelocytic leukemia cell line. Brief pretreatment of either undifferentiated or differentiated HL60 cells with various activators of protein kinase C Ca2+/phospholipid-dependent enzyme (e.g. phorbol myristate acetate) produced a 50-fold decrease in the potency of extracellular ATP to induce mobilization of intracellular Ca2+. The ATP-induced increase in rate of inositol trisphosphate (InsP3) accumulation in these 4-beta-phorbol 12-myristate-13-acetate-treated cells was characterized by a 40% decrease in the maximal rate of InsP3 accumulation. Incubation of the cells with NaF also induced mobilization of the same Ca2+ stores released in response to extracellular ATP; this provided indirect evidence that the transmembrane signaling actions of P2-purinergic receptors may be mediated by GTP-binding regulatory proteins. This latter possibility was further supported by the finding that treatment of either undifferentiated or differentiated HL60 cells with pertussis toxin produced a significant, but partial, inhibition of ATP-induced signaling actions. These included: 1) a 60-70% decrease in the maximum rate of InsP3 accumulation, and 2) a 1.5 log unit increase in the half-maximally effective [ATP] required for mobilization of intracellular Ca2+. In cells treated with both pertussis toxin and 4-beta-phorbol 12-myristate-13-acetate, there was an 80% decrease in maximal rate of ATP-induced InsP3 accumulation and near-complete inhibition of ATP-induced Ca2+ mobilization. Significantly, the residual, pertussis toxin-insensitive portion of ATP-induced signaling was observed in the same samples of differentiated HL60 cells wherein pertussis toxin treatment produced complete abolition of InsP3 accumulation and Ca2+ mobilization in response to occupation of chemotactic peptide receptors. These results indicate that the activation of inositol phospholipid breakdown by P2-purinergic receptors in HL60 cells may be mediated by both pertussis toxin-sensitive and toxin-insensitive mechanisms; this suggests that these myeloid progenitor cells may express two distinct types of GTP-binding proteins coupled to phospholipase C.

Phosphoinositide-specific phospholipase C (PLC) is a crucial enzyme in transmembrane signaling. A cDNA encoding the putative phospholipase C was cloned from human lymphocytes that were transformed by infection with Epstein-Barr virus. The deduced amino acid sequence of the cDNA accounted for 146.1 kDa of the molecular mass of the complete enzyme and showed 50.2% sequence similarity to bovine brain PLC. This cDNA contained regions, the sequences of which were similar to those of some tyrosine kinase-related oncogene products. Northern blotting demonstrated that the mRNA for this PLC is expressed in human promyelocytic leukemia cells (HL-60). Since the other cloned cDNAs for PLCs could not hybridize with the RNA from this cell, it is strongly suggested that the gene obtained here encodes an additional isozyme of PLC in blood cells.

Both phorbol ester or diacylglycerol (DAG) reduce cell surface transferrin receptor (TFR) number in CEM cells (a human T-cell acute lymphoblastic leukemia line) and HL-60 cells (a human promyelocytic leukemia cell line). This effect occurs with a t1/2 of approx. 30 min and is mimicked by addition of phospholipase C to cell cultures. Although cell surface TFR number is reduced to 25-30% of the control level 5 h after phorbol ester administration, apparent cell proliferation (as measured by [3H]thymidine incorporation) remains unaffected. Although independent of extracellular calcium (EGTA is slightly enhancing), the phenomenon is completely blocked by 30-min pretreatment with the calcium channel blocker diltiazem. Dilitazem pretreatment, while preventing receptor redistribution, does not completely block the phorbol ester-induced increase in TFR phosphorylation thought to be associated with receptor redistribution. Thus, calcium channel blockade effectively dissociates the effects of tetradecanoylphorbol acetate (TPA) on TFR internalization and phosphorylation. Our results also demonstrate that phorbol ester-induced effects on the TFR can be mimicked by the endogenous stimulator of protein kinase C, DAG, whether added directly to cultures or produced by the cells in response to exogenous phospholipase C. Furthermore, the phenomenon of TFR redistribution here described is not associated with a decreased proliferative capacity.
