title: Stimulation of osteopontin mRNA expression in HL-60 cells is independent of differentiation.
abstract: 12-O-Tetradecanoylphorbol 13-acetate (TPA) induces HL-60 cells to differentiate along the monocyte/macrophage pathway and stimulates expression of the extracellular adhesion protein osteopontin (OPN). In this study, the mechanism of TPA-mediated OPN mRNA expression and its relationship to differentiation were investigated. The induction of OPN mRNA by TPA was dose dependently inhibited by staurosporine (0.4-10.0 nM) and chelerythrine (0.1-5.0 microM), indicating that OPN expression requires PKC activation. Furthermore, the mitogen-activated protein kinase kinase (MAPKK) inhibitor, PD 098059 (1.0-10.0 microM), inhibited the effect of TPA in a dose-dependent fashion. Cycloheximide (10 microg/ml) ablated the induction of OPN mRNA by TPA. To determine if OPN mRNA expression was associated with a particular differentiational pathway, HL-60 cells were treated with RA, 9-cis-RA, calcitriol, or sodium butyrate. None of these agents stimulated OPN mRNA. Treatment with TPA subsequent to a 120-h pretreatment with retinoic acid (RA), 9-cis-RA, or calcitriol resulted in a potentiation of the induction of OPN mRNA. These results support a role for protein kinase C (PKC) in promoting OPN expression because each of these agents increased PKC levels. An hOPN promoter/reporter construct was responsive to TPA, indicating that this effect is at the level of transcription. Thus, TPA-stimulated transcription of the OPN gene apparently occurs via a PKC/MAPK-dependent mechanism that is independent of that associated with differentiation and is not dependent on the maturational state of these cells.
