title: Adsorption and uptake of the alkyllysophospholipid ET-18-OCH3 by HL-60 cells during induction of differentiation by dimethylsulfoxide.
abstract: The human leukemic cell line HL-60 is highly sensitive to the antineoplastic agent alkyllysophospholipid, 1-octadecyl-2-methyl-sn-glycerol-3-phosphocholine (ET-18-OCH3). We investigated the adsorption and uptake of radiolabeled ET-18-OCH3 in undifferentiated HL-60 cells and during differentiation to granulocytes induced by dimethylsulfoxide. HL-60 cells become less sensitive to the cytotoxic action of ET-18-OCH3 during differentiation. The decrease in sensitivity is correlated with a decrease in both adsorption and uptake of [3H]ET-18-OCH3 during differentiation. Binding studies revealed that the binding of ET-18-OCH3 to both undifferentiated and differentiated HL-60 cells is non-saturable which renders the existence of a specific binding place highly unlikely.
