Regulation of myeloperoxidase gene expression during differentiation of human myeloid leukemia HL-60 cells.
When human myeloid leukemia HL-60 cells were induced to differentiate into mature cells by dimethyl sulfoxide or retinoic acid, the amount of myeloperoxidase activity per cell decreased to 20 to 30% of that of uninduced cells, and the rate of myeloperoxidase biosynthesis decreased to an undetectable level in 19 h after induction of differentiation. After 19-h exposure to an inducer, the cells could not resume myeloperoxidase synthesis on further incubation in inducer-free medium. When polysomes and mRNAs prepared from untreated and treated cells were translated in rabbit reticulocyte lysates, the former showed myeloperoxidase polypeptide synthesis, and the latter did not. These results indicate that the inability of induced cells to synthesize myeloperoxidase is due to the absence of myeloperoxidase mRNA.
