title: Dimethylsulfoxide, retinoic acid and 12-O-tetradecanoylphorbol-13-acetate induce a selective decrease in the phosphorylation of P150, a surface membrane phosphoprotein of HL60 cells resistant to adriamycin.
abstract: Studies have been carried out to analyze protein phosphorylation in membranes isolated from adriamycin resistant HL60 cells which have been grown for various time periods in the presence of dimethylsulfoxide (DMSO), retinoic acid (RA) or 12-O-tetradecanoylphorbol-13-acetate (TPA). The results show that membranes isolated from cells treated with these agents are defective in the phosphorylation of P150, a membrane phosphoprotein associated with drug resistance in HL60 cells. This response is highly selective since only a few membrane proteins show decreased phosphorylation levels under these conditions. Magnesium dependent protein kinase activity in membranes from cells treated with DMSO, RA or TPA is not altered relative to untreated membranes under conditions where there is a major decrease in P150 phosphorylation. Additional studies also show that treatment of resistant cells with TPA results in a major decrease in the in vivo phosphorylation of P150. These results thus demonstrate that agents capable of inducing differentiation in HL60 cells can selectively modulate the phosphorylation of P150. This system should be of value in clarifying mechanisms involved in the phosphorylation of this protein.
