Granulocytic maturation of HL-60 promyelocytic leukemia cells induced by dimethylsulfoxide has been shown to produce a decrease in cellular protein phosphotyrosine residues and increases in both tyrosine kinase and protein phosphotyrosine phosphatase activities (D. A. Frank and A. C. Sartorelli, Biochem. Biophys. Res. Commun., 140: 440-447, 1986). These changes have been shown to not be restricted to dimethylsulfoxide-induced differentiation, since similar changes occur in HL-60 cells initiated with retinoic acid and in HL-60 sublines resistant to dimethylsulfoxide-induced differentiation treated with the retinoid. These regulatory events are not directly coupled to growth arrest, which accompanies terminal maturation, since the anthracycline antibiotics aclacinomycin A and marcellomycin, which induce HL-60 differentiation, cause these changes in phosphotyrosine metabolism, while Adriamycin, at a level which produces an equivalent degree of growth inhibition but does not initiate the maturation of HL-60 cells, does not. Furthermore, an HL-60 subline deficient in hypoxanthine-guanine phosphoribosyltransferase, which differentiates in the presence of 6-thioguanine, produced a decrease in phosphotyrosine residues and increases in tyrosine kinase and phosphotyrosine phosphatase activities in response to the purine antimetabolite, while the parental HL-60 line, in which 6-thioguanine inhibits cellular proliferation but does not induce maturation, does not exhibit these changes. Finally, similar alterations in phosphotyrosine regulation were exhibited during anthracycline-induced differentiation of the murine myelomonocytic leukemia cell line WEHI-3B D+, supporting the concept that the phenomena measured represent a general response to inducers of the granulocytic differentiation of leukemia cells.

Various types of DNA-peptide conjugates were synthesized by solid phase fragment condensation (SPFC). DNA-LNS (nuclear localizing signal) peptide conjugate was proved to be delivered and localized into cellular nucleus and exhibited higher antisense inhibitory effect against telomerase than antisense phosphorothioate DNA. In contrast, DNAzymes conjugated with NES (nuclear export signal) peptide was shown to be taken up and localized in cytoplasm. Inhibitory effect of the conjugate DNAzyme against BCR-ABL tyrosine kinase was evaluated to be more significant than the native DNAzyme.
