Abstract All-trans retinoic acid (ATRA) induces leukemic cell differentiation and complete remission (CR) in a high proportion of patients with acute promyelocytic leukemia (AML3 subtype). However, relapses occur when ATRA is prescribed as maintenance therapy, and resistance to a second ATRA-induction therapy is frequently observed. An induced hypercatabolism of ATRA has been suggested as a possible mechanism leading to reduced ATRA sensitivity and resistance. CRABPII, an RA cytoplasmic binding protein linked to RA's metabolization pathway, is induced by ATRA in different cell systems. To investigate whether specific features of the AML3 cells at relapse could explain the in vivo resistance observed, we studied the CRABP levels and in vitro sensitivity to ATRA of AML3 cells before and at relapse from ATRA. Relapse-AML3 cells (n = 12) showed reduced differentiation induction when compared with “virgin”-AML3 cells (n = 31; P < .05). Dose-response studies were performed in 2 cases at relapse and showed decreased sensitivity to low ATRA concentrations. CRABPII levels and in vitro differentiation characteristics of AML3 cells before and at relapse from ATRA therapy were studied concomittantly in 4 patients. High levels of CRABPII (median, 20 fmol/mg of protein) were detected in the cells of the 4 patients at relapse but were not detected before ATRA therapy. Three of these patients showed a decrease in differentiation induction of their leukemic cells, and a failure to achieve CR with a second induction therapy of ATRA 45 mg/m2/day was noted in all patients treated (n = 3). Results from this study provide evidence to support the hypothesis of induced-ATRA metabolism as one of the major mechanisms responsible for ATRA resistance. Monitoring CRABPII levels after ATRA withdrawal may help to determine when to administer ATRA in the maintenance or relapse therapy of AML3 patients.

Treatment of human HL-60 leukemic cells with 12-O-tetradecanoylphorbol- 13-acetate (TPA) is associated with activation of protein kinase C (PKC) and induction of monocytic differentiation. An HL-60 variant cell line, termed HL-525, derived from long-term exposure to TPA (Homma et al, Proc Natl Acad Sci USA 83: 7316, 1986) is resistant to TPA-induced differentiation and displays decreased PKC beta expression compared with the HL-60 parent line. However, this variant exhibits features of granulocytic differentiation, including nitroblue tetrazolium reduction, when exposed to all-trans retinoic acid (ATRA). Whereas treatment of HL-525 cells with ATRA or TPA alone had no effect on features of monocytic differentiation, these agents in combination resulted in cellular adhesion, nonspecific esterase staining, and induction of the c-fms (monocyte growth factor receptor) gene. In order to measure PKC expression associated with the reversal of TPA resistance by ATRA, we exposed HL-525 cells to ATRA and analyzed PKC- mRNA and protein levels. Exposure of HL-525 cells to ATRA for 3 days resulted in induction of PKC beta transcripts, whereas there was little change in PKC alpha mRNA levels. ATRA treatment was also associated with an increase in PKC activity and an induction of cytosolic PKC beta protein levels. These findings are consistent with the hypothesis that ATRA reverses TPA resistance in HL-525 cells by enhancing the expression of PKC.

Treatment of SV40-transformed keratinocytes (Z114) with epidermal growth factor (EGF) resulted in an increase in ornithine decarboxylase (ODC) activity and a dose-dependent increase in ODC mRNA levels. Pretreatment of keratinocytes with all-trans-retinoic retinoic acid inhibited the EGF induction of ODC activity. In both quiescent and EGF-stimulated cells, all-trans-retinoic acid inhibited ODC gene transcription and lowered ODC mRNA levels, whereas glyceraldehyde phosphate dehydrogenase expression remained unaffected. Treatment with all-trans-retinoic acid for 24 h resulted in a dose- and time-dependent decrease of up to 52% in EGF binding to EGF receptors and a 30-75% decrease in EGF-receptor quantity. In addition, when cells were treated with both UV radiation and all-trans-retinoic acid, their effects were additive in causing a decrease in EGF binding. Blocking of EGF receptors with a neutralizing antibody for EGF receptors inhibited the induction of ODC activity by EGF. The effects of several other retinoids, including Ro15-0778, etretinate, Ro13-7410, etarotene, Ro40-8757, 13-cis-retinoic acid and acitretin, were also studied to determine their effects on EGF binding and ODC activity. Two of these other retinoids, 13-cis-retinoic acid and Ro13-7410, inhibited EGF binding the most (35-46%, P < 0.001); several others (etarotene, Ro40-8757 and etretinate) were less effective (7-16%), but significantly decreased EGF binding (P < 0.05), and two retinoids (Ro15-0778 and acitretin) showed no significant effect on EGF binding. In contrast, all of the retinoids tested inhibited the induction of ODC activity by EGF, although etretinate and Ro15-0778 were less effective. EGF signal transduction is important in ODC gene regulation, and retinoids are significant modulators of this pathway.

The treatment of solid cancers with pharmacological all-trans retinoic acid (ATRA) concentrations, even if it is a gold standard therapy for the acute promyelocytic leukaemia (APL), is not always effective due to some resistance mechanisms. Here the resistance to ATRA treatment of T24 cell line, bladder cancer, was investigated. T24 was not only resistant to cell death when treated at concentrations up to 20 µM of ATRA, but it was also able to stimulate the cellular proliferation. An over-expression of the fatty acid binding protein 5 (FABP5) in conjunction with the cellular retinol-binding protein-II (CRABP-II) down-expression was found. However, the direct inhibition of the peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor β/δ (PPARβ/δ) did not abolish T24 proliferation, but rather potentiated it. Moreover, considering the ability of the long-chain fatty acids (LCFAs) to displace ATRA from FABP5, the actions of the saturated palmitic acid (PA), unsaturated omega-6 linoleic acid (LA) and omega-3 docosahexaenoic acid (DHA) were evaluated to counteract ATRA-related proliferation. ATRA-PA co-treatment induces cellular growth inhibition, while ATRA-LA co-treatment induces cellular growth enhancement. However, even if DHA is unsaturated LCFA as LA, it was able to reverse the ATRA-induced cellular proliferation of T24, bringing the viability percentages at the levels of the control.

The surfactant proteins (SPs) are required for the normal function of pulmonary surfactant, a lipoprotein substance that prevents alveolar collapse at end expiration. We characterized the effects of cortisol and all trans-retinoic acid (RA) on SP-A and SP-B gene expression in H441 cells, a human pulmonary adenocarcinoma cell line. Cortisol, at 10−6M, caused a significant inhibition of SP-A mRNA to levels that were 60–70% of controls and a five- to sixfold increase in the levels of SP-B mRNA. RA alone (10−6M) had no effect on SP-A mRNA levels and modestly reduced the inhibitory effect of cortisol. RA alone and the combination of cortisol and RA both significantly increased SP-B mRNA levels. RA had no effect on the rate of SP-A gene transcription or on SP-A mRNA stability. Cortisol alone and the combination of cortisol and RA significantly inhibited the rate of SP-A gene transcription but had no effect on SP-A mRNA half-life. RA at 10−6 M had no effect on the rate of SP-B gene transcription but prolonged SP-B mRNA half-life. Cortisol alone and the combination of cortisol and RA caused a significant increase in the rate of SP-B gene transcription and also caused a significant increase in SP-B mRNA stability. We conclude that RA has no effect on SP-A gene expression and increases SP-B mRNA levels by an effect on SP-B mRNA stability and not on the rate of SP-B gene transcription. In addition, the effects of the combination of RA and cortisol were generally similar to those of cortisol alone.
