    Description: Several recent studies have suggested a role for 1,25-dihydroxyvitamin D3 (calcitriol) in myeloid differentiation. We have examined the effects of calcitriol on the U937 monoblast cell line and found that calcitriol, at near physiologic concentrations, is a potent inhibitor of U937 growth. Moreover, calcitriol induces differentiation to a monocyte-macrophage phenotype marked by enhanced alpha-naphthyl esterase staining. Morphologic changes were attended by de novo induction of the myeloid specific antigen detected by the monoclonal antibody AML-2–23, as well as dramatic increases in Fc receptors for IgG. In addition, calcitriol induced U937 cells to perform phagocytosis and antibody-dependent cellular cytotoxicity. These results indicate the potential activity of calcitriol in myeloid differentiation and additionally suggest a role for calcitriol in monocyte-macrophage activation.

    Description: The expression of three distinct myeloid-specific cell surface antigens detected by monoclonal antibodies (PMN 6, PMN 29, and AML-2–23) on acute and chronic myeloid leukemia cells is correlated with blast cell morphology and normal myeloid cell antigen display. In studies on normal peripheral blood cells, monoclonal antibodies PMN 6 and PMN 29 have previously been shown to react exclusively with neutrophils while AML-2–23 reacts with both neutrophils and monocytes. The present report demonstrates that these antigens are absent from blast cells of patients with acute myelocytic leukemia (AML) classified as M1 and M2 in the French-American-British system and chronic myelocytic leukemia in myeloid blast crisis. However, leukemia cells with myelomonocytic morphology (M4) expressed all three antigens, while cells with pure monocytic features (M5) were generally only positive for AML-2–23. Based on the absence of these antigens on both leukemic and normal myeloblasts and granulocyte-monocyte progenitors and their characteristic patterns of display on more differentiated leukemic and normal cells, we propose a modified concept of normal myelopoiesis. In this hypothesis, the myeloblast is an uncommitted cell that gives rise to a series of intermediate precursors that acquire committment to either the granulocytic or monocytic lineage marked by the acquisition of specific cell surface markers.

    Description: Antigenic changes detected by myeloid-specific monoclonal antibodies on HL-60 cells induced to differentiate by various chemical mediators were investigated using flow cytometry. Antigen levels detected by monocyte- granulocyte-specific monoclonal antibodies AML-2–23, 61D3, and 63D3 increased dramatically after differentiation of HL-60 cells along the granulocytic pathway by the addition of dimethyl formamide (DMF), dimethylsulfoxide (DMSO), or cis-retinoic acid. The expression of these same antigens also increased in conjunction with monocytoid differentiation when HL-60 cells were treated with supernatants from leukocytes stimulated with phytohemagglutinin (PHA-LCM) or with mixed lymphocyte conditioned medium (MLC). In contrast, treatment of HL-60 cells with phorbol 12-myristate 13-acetate (PMA), which also induced differentiation along the monocyte pathway, had no effect on the expression of these monocyte-associated antigens. The expression of antigens on HL-60 cells recognized by the granulocyte-specified monoclonal antibodies PMN 6 and PMN 29 decreased after treatment of HL- 60 cells with PMA, but remained constant after treatment with DMF, DMSO, cis-retinoic acid, PHA-LCM, or MLC. These results suggest that normal myeloid differentiation may be dependent on various signals and that morphological and cell surface marker maturity may, under some conditions, be separable. The utility of the HL-60 cell line as a model of myeloid differentiation and for evaluation of inductive signals is discussed.
