The interrelationship between the differentiation and expression of mRNA for transferrin in the HL-60 leukemia cell line was studied. Transferrin mRNA was expressed in HL-60 leukemia cells and the amount was 50% of that in the positive control cell line, HepG-2 cells. The expression of $T_f$ mRNA in HL-60 cells was not regulated by IL-1, IL-6 and $TNF-{\alpha}$, respectively. The expression of $T_f$ mRNA in the differentiated cells into a granulocyte lineage by DMSO, or all-trans RA, was up-regulated (160-170% of control cells); whereas, the expression was not regulated in the differentiated cells into a macrophage lineage by PMA. These results suggest that the differentiation to a granulocyte lineage of HL-60 leukemia cells appear to be related with the upregulation of transferrin mRNA expression.

Human polymorphonuclear leukocytes(PMN) constitute a first line of defense against all forms of injury and microbial challenge, which share a common cell lineage with macrophage. Microbial component LPS activates macrophages to produce IL-1, MIP-1${\alpha}$, -1${\beta}$, TNF-${\alpha}$ and IL-6, etc. Those cytokines have autocrine function to the macrophages, and paracrine function to other cell such as PMN and affect them to produce some biological functions. Having a responsive homogeneous cell line, HL-60, offers us the possibility of studying extensively on the function of PMN, which were not possible previously with peripheral PMN, due to the short-lived nature and difficulty of getting a purified PMN. In the present study, I performed MIP-1 receptor binding assay using HL-60 cell and human peripheral PMN. Also, in vitro antimicrobial assay was performed using differentiated or undifferentiated HL-60 cell. Differentiation was induced by treatment with 500 M of $N^6,O^2-dibutyryl$ adenosine 3'5' cyclic monophosphate(dbcAMP) (PMN-like cell), or 20ng/ml of 12-O-tetradecanoylphorbol-13-acetate(TPA) (macrophage/monocyte-like cell). Receptors for MIP-1${\alpha}$ were identified on dbcAMP-treated HL-60 as well as peripheral PMN. However, bound radioactive MIP-1${\alpha}$ on differentiated HL-60 was much higher than that of peripheral PMN, which suggest receptor number of differentiated HL-60 cell is higher than that of peripheral PMN. Although both of TPA and dbcAMP treatment significantly enhanced antimicrobial action of HL-60 cell, dbcAMP-treated cell(PMN-like HL-60) killed S.aureus more effectively in this experiment. TPA or dbcAMP treatment significantly enhanced antimicrobial action of undifferentiated HL-60 cell. MIP-1${\alpha}$ further increased enhancing effect of TPA or dbcAMP. IL-1${\alpha}$, however, increased only dbcAMP-induced enhancing effect of antimicrobial action of HL-60 cell. These results suggest that differentiated HL-60 cell could replace peripheral PMN in analysis of various biological functions of cytokines on PMN cell.

Disulfiram (DSF) is a member of the dithiocarbamate family that can bind copper. Recent studies have shown that DSF has anti-cancer activities, but the mechanism has not been clarified. Therefore, it is important to study the action mechanism of DSF to maximize its anticancer effects. A human leukemia cell line, HL-60, was used in this study. HL-60 cells were treated with DSF and the cellular metabolic activity was measured. DSF increased the cell death of HL-60 cells in annexin V-fluorescein isothiocyanate/propidium iodide staining analysis. In addition, DSF decreased the mitochondrial membrane potential (MMP) of the HL-60 cells. The cytotoxicity of DSF on HL-60 cells was observed at 0.4 μM. Interestingly, the reduction of MMP by DSF was recovered by N-acetyl-L-cysteine, an inhibitor of reactive oxygen species (ROS) production. This suggests that the decrease in MMP by DSF is closely related to the production of ROS in HL-60 cells, which indicates the relationship between the apoptosis of HL-60 cells by DSF and the role of the mitochondria. This study provides clinicians and researchers with valuable information regarding the anti-cancer activity of DSF in terms of the action mechanism.

Baicalin, a biologically active flavonoid form the roots of Scutallaria baicalensis (Skullcap), have been reported to not only function as anti-oxidants but also cause anticancer effect. We investigated the mechanism of baicalin-induced cytotoxicity and the macro scale gene expression analysis in leukemia cell line, HL-60 cells. Baicalin (10 μM) were used to treat the cells for 6h, 12h, 24h, 48h and 72h. In a human cDNAchip study of 65,000 genes evaluated 6, 12, 24, 48. 72 hours after treated with Baicalin in HL-60 cells. Hierarchical cluster against the genes which showed expression changes by more than two fold. One hundred one genes were grouped into 6 clusters according to their profile of expression by a hierarchical clustering algorithm. For genes differentially expressed in response to baicalin treatment, we tested functional classes based on Gene Ontology (GO) terms. This study provides the most comprehensive available survey of gene expression changes in response to baicalin treatment in HL-60 cell line.

Baicalein, one of the major flavonoid in Scutellaria baicalensis, has been known for its effects on proliferation and apoptosis of many tumor cell lines. Most biological effects of baicalein are thought to be from its antioxidant and prooxidant activities. In this report, baicalein was found to induce apoptosis in HL60 human promyelocytic leukemia cell line. Baicalein treatment induced DNA fragmentation and typical morphological features of apoptosis. To elucidate the mechanism of baicalein-induced apoptosis, the activities of the members of caspase family were measured. Interestingly caspase 2, 3, and 6 were significantly activated whereas caspase 1, 8, and 9 were not activated, suggesting selective involvement of specific caspases. Further, treatment with caspase inhibitors also supports the involvement of caspase 2 in apoptosis process. Although it has been reported that baicalein can induce apoptosis through many caspase pathways, the present study indicates that caspase 2 not caspase 9 pathway may be the important step in apoptosis on HL60 cell line.

The aim of this study was to investigate the apoptotic effect and its mechanism on Radix Aconiti (RA) extract in HL-60 human leukemia cell line. RA extract induced apoptosis as confirmed by discontinuous fragmentation of DNA. To clarify the mechanisms on RA extract-induced apoptosis, we examined the caspase-3, -8 enzyme activity and protein levels including Fas, FasL in HL-60 cells. Treatment with RA extracts resulted in the increase of caspase-3 enzyme activity in a time and dose-dependent manners, which was accompanied by the cleavage of poly-(ADP-ribose) polymerase (PARP). This activation of caspase-3 enzyme resulted from cleavage of procaspase-8, which was followed by increases of FasL, Fas protein expression in RA extracts-treated HL-60 cells. In conclusion, RA extract induced apoptosis of HL-60 human leukemia cell line. This results suggest that the apoptotic mechanisms of RA extract on HL-60 cells involved in FasL, Fas activation, procaspase-8 cleavage, activation of caspase-3 and cleavage of PARP. Collectively, these results suggest that RA may be a valuable agent as a anti-cancer drug.

급성 전골수구성 백혈병(acute promyelocytic leukemia, APL)은 치료제가 한정적이고 그 또한 다양한 부작용을 초래한다. 최근 암세포 형성 억제에 세균 추출물을 사용하는 경우가 증가하는데 이를 이용하여 기존의 약제보다 효과적이면서 부작용이 적은 치료제 개발이 필요하다. 본 연구에서는 L. monocytogenes에서 분비되는 물질(LmSup)과 세균 자체가 함유하고 있는 물질(LmE)을 추출하여 HL-60 세포에 처리한 다음 세포증식 억제 효과를 보고자 하였다. 세포 생존율 및 세포고사를 확인하여 세포를 죽음으로 유도하는 지 파악한 다음 작용기전을 규명하고자 세포주기의 변화 및 ROS 생성을 관찰하였다. 그 결과, LmSup와 LmE가 급성 전골수구성 백혈병(APL) 세포인 HL-60의 세포고사를 유도하고, sub G0/G1기 증가로 세포주기를 비정상적으로 차단함으로써 세포고사를 유도함을 확인하였다. 이때, ROS가 관여함을 관찰하였다. 이를 통해, LmSup 또는 LmE의 구체적인 항암효과 및 기전 분석을 통해 난치병인 APL의 치료 방법 및 치료제 개발에 기여하고자 한다.

단일클론항체 AP64 IgM은 인간의 급성 비임파성 골수암(ANLL) 세포주 HL60에 결합하며 쥐의 ANLL 세포에도 교차결합(cross-react)한다. 또한 complement에 의해 매개되어지면 골수암 억제효과를 나타낸다. 본 연구에서는 RT-PCR에 의해 AP64 IgM을 분비하는 하이브리도마의 $V_H$ 및 $V_L$ cDNA로부터 유래된 재조합 single-chain variable domain fragment (ScFv)를 제조하였다. $V_H$ 및 $V_L$은 15개 아미노산으로 구성된 linker $(G_4S)_3$으로 연결되었다. 재조합 ScFv는 Escherichia coli BMH 71-18에서 single polypeptide chain으로 발현되었다. Periplasmic extract를 $Ni^+$-NTA-agarose affinity column에 가하여 발현된 재조합 ScFv를 정제하였으며 westernblot으로 정제된 단백질을 탐지하였다. 정제된 재조합 ScFv는 AP64 IgM 모항체가 탐지하는 항원과 같은 HL60 세포의 표면항원(약 30 kDa)을 인지하였다. 그러나 HL60의 표면항원에 대한 ScFv의 결합력은 AP64 IgM 모항체보다 낮아서 추후 이에 대한 개선이 필요하다. 종합하여 볼 때 HL60 세포주에 특이적인 재조합 ScFv는 진단 또는 치료목적으로 유용한 생물학적 제재가 될 수 있을 것이다.

Methanolic and aqueous extracts from 37 seaweed species (10 green and 27 brown seaweeds) collected from Jeju Island coast were prepared at high ($70^{\circ}C$) and room ($20^{\circ}C$) temperatures and examined for cytotoxic activity against 4 tumor cell lines: U937 (human monoblastoid leukemia cell line), HL60 (human promyelocytic leukemia cell line), HeLa (woman cervical carcinoma cell line) and CT26 (mouse colon carcinoma line). Both MeOH extracts of Desmarestia tabacoides and Dictyota dichotoma possessed strong cytotoxic activities against all the tumor cell lines tested, but the aqueous extract exhibited no activity. On the other hand Ecklonia cava showed strong cytotoxic activities for the $20^{\circ}C$ aqueous extract against the three tumor cells except HeLa cell. Sagassum coreanum and Sagassum siliquastrum $20^{\circ}C$ aqueous extracts also exhibited strong cytotoxic activities against U937, HL60, HeLa cells. Even though green seaweeds showed less activity than brown seaweeds, $20^{\circ}C$ aqueous extracts of Codium contractum and Codium fragile exhibited strong cytotoxic activities against HL60 or CT26 cells, respectively.
