title: 1 alpha,25-dihydroxyvitamin D3-induced regulation of protein kinase C gene expression during HL-60 cell differentiation.
abstract: The human promyelocytic leukemia cell line HL-60 differentiates in vitro when treated with various inducers. It has previously been shown that protein kinase C (PKC) isozymes are modulated during granulocytic differentiation of HL-60 cells induced by dimethyl sulfoxide or retinoic acid (M. Makowske, R. Ballester, Y. Cayre, and O.M. Rosen, J. Biol. Chem., 263: 3402-3410, 1988; K. Hashimoto, A. Kishimoto, H. Aihara, I. Yasuda, K. Mikawa, and Y. Nishizuka, FEBS Left., 263: 31-34, 1990). HL-60 responds to 1 alpha, 25-dihydroxyvitamin D3 (1,25-(OH)2D3) or to 12-O-tetradecanoylphorbol-13-acetate by giving rise to monocytic cells. In the present study, we demonstrate that treatment of HL-60 cells with 1,25-(OH)2D3 causes dramatic increases in PKC-alpha and PKC-beta protein levels detected by immunoblotting with PKC isoform-specific antibodies and in Ca(2+)- and phospholipid-dependent protein kinase activity. We also observed a transient increase in the steady-state levels of PKC-alpha and PKC-beta mRNA species in Northern blotting experiments, with maximal induction occurring 48 h after addition of 1,25-(OH)2D3. Analyses of 1,25-(OH)2D3-induced PKC mRNA expression by nuclear run-on transcription experiments suggest that the observed increases in PKC mRNA levels may occur by a posttranscriptional mechanism(s). In contrast to the transient increases in PKC mRNA levels, the increases in PKC Mr 80,000 protein species and in PKC enzyme activity were progressive in HL-60 cells treated with 1,25-(OH)2D3 between 1 and 5 days, thus implying the existence of a further up-regulation of PKC proteins occurring at the translational and/or posttranslational levels.(ABSTRACT TRUNCATED AT 250 WORDS)
