Abstract In this report we describe the production and characterization of a monoclonal antibody to the human promyelocytic leukemia cell line HL- 60. The antibody, NC-2, is of the IgG1 subclass and precipitates a 50- Kd protein from 125I-labeled HL-60 cells. The antigen is insensitive to treatment with trypsin, papain, or neuraminidase. NC-2 did not react with a number of established human cell lines, including Daudi, Molt-4, K562, U937, KG-1, CEM, Raji, and Gash-P. Neutrophils and monocytelike cells derived from HL-60 cells that were induced to differentiate continued to express the antigen. NC-2 reacted with all peripheral- blood cells except erythrocytes from eight (5%) of 150 normal individuals tested. Bone marrow samples from patients with myelogenous leukemias were more frequently reactive with NC-2 than were those from normal individuals (12/33 v 1/10). Family studies indicated that the antigen was inherited in an autosomal-dominant manner. These findings suggest that the expression of the above alloantigen is associated with an increased incidence of leukemia.

The aim of this study was to investigate the endpoints related to cell death, either necrosis or apoptosis, induced by four chemicals in the promyelocytic leukemia cell line, HL-60. Cell morphology, DNA fragmentation, cytofluorimetric analysis and oxygen consumption were used to classify the type of cell death observed. In our analysis, we found that not all the selected parameters reproduced the differences observed in the cell death caused by the four chemicals tested. As cell death is a very complex phenomenon, several factors should be taken into account (cell type, exposure time and chemical concentration), if chemicals are to be classified according to differences in the mechanisms more directly involved in cell death.

The HL-60 human promyelocytic leukemia cell line can be induced to terminally differentiate to mature myeloid cells sharing a number of functional characteristics with normal granulocytes including response to chemoattractants, development of complement receptors, phagocytosis, superoxide production, and nitroblue tetrazolium dye reduction. Hence the Me2SO-induced HL-60 cells provide a unique in vitro model for studying various important aspects of human myeloid cell differentiation.

The human promyelocytic leukemia cell line HL-60 is induced to differentiate along a myelocytic pathway by dibutyryl cyclic adenosine monophosphate (dbcAMP). Other cAMP analogs are ineffective as inducing agents. The effect of these compounds on expression of c-myc was investigated using a DNA probe for c-myc to detect RNA transcripts. The dose response and time to commitment for reduction in c-myc expression with dbcAMP was similar to the findings for phenotypic changes. Bromo- cyclic AMP and butyrate alone caused no changes in c-myc expression in 24 hours, but demonstrated dramatic synergism together, suggesting that butyrate contributes in part to the effects of dbcAMP. Evidence for mechanisms of action of cAMP other than activation of the cAMP- dependent protein kinase is reviewed.
