title: Alkaline phosphatase activity in the human promyelocytic leukemia cell line, HL-60, induced by retinoic acid and recombinant human granulocyte colony-stimulating factor.
abstract: Recombinant human granulocyte colony-stimulating factor (rhG-CSF) not only enhanced the growth of HL-60 cells, but also significantly increased NBT-reducing ability and alkaline phosphatase (ALP) activity of the cells, which were enhanced by the treatment with retinoic acid (RA). Protein kinase C inhibitors (H-7 and staurosporine) significantly suppressed this induction of ALP. The pretreatment with RA followed by rhG-CSF treatment showed almost the same degree of ALP activity as that induced by the simultaneous treatment with RA and rhG-CSF. This study suggests that RA and rhG-CSF are the potent inducers of ALP activity of HL-60 cells and protein kinase C is supposed to have a role in this induction of ALP.
