title: Inhibition by islet-activating protein, pertussis toxin, of retinoic acid-induced differentiation of human leukemic (HL-60) cells.
abstract: Human promyelocytic leukemic (HL-60) cells were induced to differentiate into neutrophil- or macrophage-like cells by incubation of the cells with retinoic acid, dibutyryl cyclic AMP (Bt2cAMP) or phorbol 12-myristate 13-acetate (PMA). Differentiation was determined by an increase in the percentage of morphologically mature cells. The retinoic acid-induced differentiation of HL-60 cells was, but the Bt2cAMP- or PMA-induced one was not, inhibited by prior exposure of the cells to islet-activating protein (IAP), pertussis toxin. The IAP-induced inhibition was correlated with the toxin-catalyzed ADP-ribosylation of a membrane GTP-binding protein with a molecular mass of 40 kDa. Thus, the IAP-substrate GTP-binding protein appears to be involved in the retinoic acid-induced differentiation of HL-60 cells.
