Abstract
All-trans-retinoic acid (RA) is known to induce terminal granulocytic differentiation and cell cycle arrest of HL-60 cells. Responding to an RA-induced cytosolic signaling machine, c-Raf translocates to the nucleus, providing propulsion for RA-induced differentiation. This novel mechanism is not understood, but presumably reflects c-Raf binding with nuclear gene regulatory proteins. RRD-251 is a small molecule that prevents the interaction of c-Raf and RB, the retinoblastoma tumor suppressor protein. The involvement of c-Raf and RB in RA-induced differentiation motivates interest in the effects of combined RA and RRD-251 treatment on leukemic cell differentiation. We demonstrate that RRD-251 enhances RA-induced differentiation. Mechanistically, we find that nuclear translocated c-Raf associates with pS608 RB. RA causes loss of pS608 RB, where cells with hypophosphorylated S608 RB are G0/G1 restricted. Corroborating the pS608 RB hypophosphorylation, RB sequestration of E2F increased with concomitant loss of cdc6 expression, which is known to be driven by E2F. Hypophosphorylation of S608 RB releases c-Raf from RB sequestration to bind other nuclear targets. Release of c-Raf from RB sequestration results in enhanced association with GSK-3 which is phosphorylated at its S21/9 inhibitory sites. c-Raf binding to GSK-3 is associated with dissociation of GSK-3 and RARα, thereby relieving RARα of GSK-3 inhibition. RRD-251 amplifies each of these RA-induced events. Consistent with the posited enhancement of RARα transcriptional activity by RRD-251, RRD-251 increases the RARE-driven CD38 expression per cell. The RA/c-Raf/GSK-3/RARα axis emerges as a novel differentiation regulatory mechanism susceptible to RRD-251, suggesting enhancing RA-effects with RRD-251 in therapy.

The c-Raf modulator RRD-251 enhances nuclear c-Raf/GSK-3/VDR axis signaling and augments 1,25-dihydroxyvitamin D3-induced differentiation of HL-60 myeloblastic leukemia cells. Oncotarget 2018.

Abstract
Differentiation therapy is used in cancer treatment. Epidemiologic studies showed that higher vitamin D levels are associated with reduced cancer risks. However, the therapeutic doses needed for differentiation are accompanied by hypercalcemia and intolerable pathological sequelae. In the present work we evaluated if RRD-251, a small-molecule, can enhance vitamin D3-induced differentiation of leukemic cells, in the hope of decreasing the needed vitamin D3-dose. We demonstrate that RRD-251 enhances vitamin D3-induced differentiation of leukemic cells, the enrichment of the c-Raf kinase in the nucleus, the binding of nuclear c-Raf to GSK-3, increased phosphorylation of GSK-3 ser 21/9 inhibitory sites, and the binding of GSK-3 to VDR, where GSK-3 inhibition is known to enhance transcriptional activation by VDR. Enhancement of D3-induced p-GSK-3 ser 21/9 by RRD-251 was associated with enhanced Akt-GSK-3 binding, Akt being a known GSK-3 inhibitor, and diminished Erk1/2 binding. Diminishing Erk interaction with GSK-3 was associated with enhanced interaction with Vav1, a known driver of myeloid differentiation. This is redolent of an ATRA/c-Raf/GSK-3/RARα axis we previously reported, although the phosphorylation effects to enhance transcriptional activation on RARα vs VDR diverge. Taken together this indicates potential therapeutic significance for a c-Raf/GSK-3/VDR or RARα axis for leukemic myelo-monocytic differentiation.

Abstract
The vitamin D receptor (VDR) binds the secosteroid hormone 1,25(OH)2D3 with high affinity and regulates gene programs that control a serum calcium levels, as well as cell proliferation and differentiation. A significant focus has been to exploit the VDR in cancer settings. Although preclinical studies have been strongly encouraging, to date clinical trials have delivered equivocal findings that have paused the clinical translation of these compounds. However, it is entirely possible that mining of genomic data will help to refine precisely what are the key anticancer actions of vitamin D compounds and where these can be used most effectively.

Abstract
Emergent resistance can be progressive and driven by global signaling aberrations. All-trans retinoic acid (RA) is the standard therapeutic agent for acute promyelocytic leukemia, but 10-20% of patients are not responsive, and initially responsive patients relapse and develop retinoic acid resistance. The patient-derived, lineage-bipotent acute myeloblastic leukemia (FAB M2) HL-60 cell line is a potent tool for characterizing differentiation-induction therapy responsiveness and resistance in t(15;17)-negative cells. Wild-type (WT) HL-60 cells undergo RA-induced granulocytic differentiation, or monocytic differentiation in response to 1,25-dihydroxyvitamin D3 (D3). Two sequentially emergent RA-resistant HL-60 cell lines, R38+ and R38-, distinguishable by RA-inducible CD38 expression, do not arrest in G1/G0 and fail to upregulate CD11b and the myeloid-associated signaling factors Vav1, c-Cbl, Lyn, Fgr, and c-Raf after RA treatment. Here, we show that the R38+ and R38- HL-60 cell lines display a progressive reduced response to D3-induced differentiation therapy. Exploiting the biphasic dynamic of induced HL-60 differentiation, we examined if resistance-related defects occurred during the first 24 h (the early or "precommitment" phase) or subsequently (the late or "lineage-commitment" phase). HL-60 were treated with RA or D3 for 24 h, washed and retreated with either the same, different, or no differentiation agent. Using flow cytometry, D3 was able to induce CD38, CD11b and CD14 expression, and G1/G0 arrest when present during the lineage-commitment stage in R38+ cells, and to a lesser degree in R38- cells. Clustering analysis of cytometry and quantified Western blot data indicated that WT, R38+ and R38- HL-60 cells exhibited decreasing correlation between phenotypic markers and signaling factor expression. Thus differentiation induction therapy resistance can develop in stages, with initial partial RA resistance and moderate vitamin D3 responsiveness (unilineage maturation block), followed by bilineage maturation block and progressive signaling defects, notably the reduced expression of Vav1, Fgr, and c-Raf.

Abstract
NSC3852 (5-nitroso-8-quinolinol) has cell differentiation and antiproliferative activity in human breast cancer cells in tissue culture and antitumor activity in mice bearing P388 and L1210 leukemic cells. We investigated the mechanism of NSC3852 action in MCF-7 human breast cancer cells using electron spin resonance (ESR). Reactive oxygen species (ROS) were detected in MCF-7 cell suspensions incubated with NSC3852 using the spin trap 5,5-dimethyl-1-pyrroline-N-oxide (DMPO). Formation of the DMPO-OH adduct was quenched by the addition of superoxide dismutase but not by catalase, and we concluded that superoxide was generated in the NSC3852-treated cells. The flavoprotein inhibitor diphenylene iodonium suppressed ROS production, providing evidence for the involvement of a flavin-dependent enzyme system in the ROS response to NSC3852. A biologically significant oxidative response to NSC3852 occurred in MCF-7 cells. An early marker of oxidative stress was a decrease in the [glutathione]/[glutathione disulfide] ratio 1 h after NSC3852 addition. Oxidative DNA damage, marked by the presence of 8-oxoguanine, and DNA-strand breakage occurred in cells exposed to NSC3852 for 24 h. Apoptosis peaked 48 h after exposure to NSC3852. Pretreatment with the glutathione precursor N-acetyl-l-cysteine (NAC) prevented DNA-strand breakage and apoptosis. Pretreatment with NAC also reversed NSC3852 decreases in E2F1, Myc, and phosphorylated retinoblastoma protein, indicative of redox-sensitive pathway(s) in MCF-7 cells during G(1) phase of the cell cycle. We conclude that ROS formation is involved in the apoptotic and cell differentiation responses to NSC3852 in MCF-7 cells.

Abstract
Sodium butyrate induced cell cycle arrest in mammalian cells through an increase in p21Waf1/Cip1, although another study showed that this arrest is related to pRB signaling. We isolated variants of HeLa cells adapted to growth in 5 mm butyrate. One of these variants, clone 5.1, constitutively expressed elevated levels of p21Waf1/Cip1 when incubated in regular growth medium and in the presence of butyrate. Despite this elevated level of p21Waf1/Cip1, the cells continue to proliferate, albeit at a slower rate than parental HeLa cells. Western blot analyses showed that other cell cycle regulatory proteins were not up-regulated to compensate for the elevated expression of p21Waf1/Cip1. However, cyclin D1 was down-regulated by butyrate in HeLa cells but not in clone 5.1. We conclude that continued expression of cyclin D1 allowed clone 5.1 to grow in the presence of butyrate and elevated levels of p21Waf1/Cip1.

Abstract
Retinoic acid (RA) has been shown to be effective in suppressing premalignant lesions and preventing second primary malignancies in patients cured of squamous cell carcinoma of the head and neck. However, the precise mechanisms of these effects are still uncertain. In the present study, we examined the effect of 9-cis-RA on the growth of six oral cancer cell lines (HSC-2, HSC-3, HSC-4, Ca9-22, Ho-1-N-1 and Ho-1-u-1). In addition, the relationship among growth and differentiation of tumor cells, RA responsiveness and the expression of nuclear retinoic acid receptors were also investigated. Among the six cell lines examined, five (HSC-2, HSC-3, HSC-4, Ca9-22 and Ho-1-u-1) displayed growth inhibition after treatment with 1x10(-6) M 9-cis-RA, while Ho-1-N-1 cells were resistant to 9-cis-RA. The expression level of RARbeta in 9-cis-RA resistant Ho-1-N-1 cells was very low in comparison with the sensitive cell lines. On the other hand, all of the six the cell lines expressed RARalpha, RARgamma, and RXRalpha at various levels. 9-cis-RA induced accumulation of cell population in G1 phase in HSC-3 cells on the 6th day of the treatment, followed by a marked reduction in the levels of hyperphosphorylated pRB, whereas p53 level was not altered. Interestingly, 9-cis-RA induced transiently the expression of p21(Waf1/Cip1), p27(Kip1), p300, CBP, BAX, Bak and bcl-2 proteins, respectively. This effect was associated with reduction of cyclin D1, cdk4 and CDK-activating kinase (cyclin H and cdk7) protein in HSC-3 cells. These results suggest that the growth inhibitory effect of 9-cis-RA on oral squamous cell carcinoma may depend on the expression levels of RARs, especially RARbeta proteins and RXRalpha proteins, and that 9-cis-RA may provide a powerful therapeutic agent for head and neck cancers.

Abstract
Lycopene, the major tomato carotenoid, has been found to inhibit proliferation of several types of cancer cells, including those of breast, lung, and endometrium. By extending the work to the HL-60 promyelocytic leukemia cell line, we aimed to evaluate some mechanistic aspects of this effect. Particularly, the possibility was examined that the antiproliferative action of the carotenoid is associated with induction of cell differentiation. Lycopene treatment resulted in a concentration-dependent reduction in HL-60 cell growth as measured by [3H]thymidine incorporation and cell counting. This effect was accompanied by inhibition of cell cycle progression in the G0/G1 phase as measured by flow cytometry. Lycopene alone induced cell differentiation as measured by phorbol ester-dependent reduction of nitro blue tetrazolium and expression of the cell surface antigen CD14. Results of several recent intervention studies with beta-carotene, which have revealed no beneficial effects of this carotenoid, suggest that a single dietary component cannot explain the anticancer effect of diets rich in vegetables and fruits. Thus another goal of our study was to examine whether lycopene has the ability to synergize with other natural anticancer compounds, such as 1,25-dihydroxyvitamin D3, which when used alone are therapeutically active only at high and toxic concentrations. The combination of low concentrations of lycopene with 1,25-dihydroxyvitamin D3 exhibited a synergistic effect on cell proliferation and differentiation and an additive effect on cell cycle progression. Such synergistic antiproliferative and differentiating effects of lycopene and other compounds found in the diet and in plasma may suggest the inclusion of the carotenoid in the diet as a cancer-preventive measure.

Abstract
We report that sodium butyrate, a natural product of fiber degradation by colonic bacteria, markedly suppresses c-Myc-mediated apoptosis induced in murine plasmacytomas and human Burkitt lymphomas by growth factor deprivation, but not in cell lines devoid of c-myc translocations. Attenuation of cell death is associated with downregulation of the rearranged c-myc and activation of pRb via its dephosphorylation. We suggest that in vivo sodium butyrate may play an important role in plasmacytomagenesis by supporting the survival of cells with c-myc translocations, which otherwise would be eliminated by the lack of growth factors.

Abstract
The effect of 9-cis-retinoic acid (9-cis-RA) on the growth of eight gastric cancer cell lines was related to their transcription levels of mRNAs for retinoid receptors. Northern blot analysis showed that seven (TMK-1, MKN-1, -28, -45, -74, HSC-39, KATO-III) out of eight gastric cancer cell lines synthesized mRNAs for retinoic acid receptors (RARs) and retinoid X receptor-alpha (RXR-alpha). MKN-7 cells did not transcribe either RARs or RXR-alpha at the mRNA level although they appeared to have no alterations at the gene level. The growth of all of the cell lines except for MKN-7 cells was inhibited by 1 x 10(-6) M 9-cis-RA. Cell cycle distribution analysis revealed that G0-G1 arrest was not induced by exposure to 9-cis-RA in the sensitive TMK-1 and KATO-III cells or the resistant MKN-7 cells. Interestingly, 9-cis-RA temporarily increased the amount of the cyclin dependent kinase (cdk) inhibitor, Waf1/Cip1/Sdi1/p21 protein, and also reduced the amount of cdk-7, epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR) and cyclin D1 proteins, followed by reduction in phosphorylation of the product of the retinoblastoma tumor suppressor gene (Rb) in the sensitive TMK-1 cells, but not in the resistant MKN-7 cells. These results suggest that 9-cis-RA has a cytostatic effect on gastric cancer cells that synthesize the receptor molecules through cell cycle regulatory machinery.

Abstract
AbstractThe biochemical signaling mechanisms involved in transducing the effects of interferon-γ (IFN-γ) on human leukemia-derived HL-60 cell differentiation are not completely understood. Recent studies established the existence of a sphyngomyelin (SM) cycle that operates in response to the action of IFN-γ on HL-60 cells, but the mechanisms by which IFN-γ induces the SM hydrolysis remain unexplored. In this study, biochemical events mediating IFN-γ effects on SM turnover and their specificity and role in HL-60 differentiation were investigated. The activation of the SM cycle by IFN-γ occurred rapidly, with a decrease of approximately 20% in the SM level observed after 60 minutes with a concomitant increase in ceramide level. Treatment of HL-60 cells with IFN-γ did not influence the 1,2-diacylglycerol concentration, intracellular Ca2+ concentration, or phospholipase D activity. IFN-γ stimulated a rapid release of arachidonic acid (AA) from HL-60 cells; the effect was abolished by the pretreatment of cells with pertussis toxin, suggesting a role for a pertussis-toxin–sensitive G protein in IFN-γ–mediated activation of phospholipase A2 (PLA2 ). At 4 to 120 hours after the stimulation of the cells with IFN-γ, a significant increase in the particulate and soluble PLA2 activity was observed, corresponding to an increase in the level of immunoreactive cPLA2 in both cytosol and membrane fractions. The treatment of cells with tyrosine kinase inhibitor herbimycin A completely abolished the effect of IFN-γ on PLA2 activity in membrane and cytosolic fractions, but had no effect on IFN-γ–mediated early AA release suggesting dual mechanism of PLA2 activation. Melittin, potent activator of PLA2 , and AA mimicked the effect of IFN-γ on SM hydrolysis. Pretreatment of HL-60 cells with the PLA2 inhibitor, bromophenacyl bromide (BPB), or pertussis toxin abolished the effect of IFN-γ on SM hydrolysis; exogenous addition of AA overcame the effects of BPB and pertussis toxin. Long-term exposure (5 days) of HL-60 cells to IFN-γ caused an increase in nitroblue tetrazolium (NBT)-reducing and nonspecific esterase (NSE) activity and induced expression of FcγRI (CD64) without significant effects on cell number, adherence, or fagocytic activity. The treatment of cells with AA or melittin induced NBT, NSE, and CD64 expression to the level similar to that observed with IFN-γ, and no further increase was observed with the combination of IFN-γ and AA or IFN-γ and melittin. Treatment of HL-60 cells with indomethacin, an inhibitor of cyclo-oxygenase, and nordihydroguaiaretic acid (NDGA), an inhibitor of lipoxygenase, had no effects on IFN-γ–mediated induction of CD64 expression. These studies indicate a key role for the phospholipase A2/AA pathway, as an early biochemical signal elicited by the occupation of IFN-γ–receptor, in mediating IFN-γ induction of the SM cycle and phenotypic changes associated with differentiation of HL-60 along monocytic lineage.

The treatment of cells with AA or melittin induced NBT, NSE, and CD64 expression to the level similar to that observed with IFN-γ, and no further increase was observed with the combination of IFN-γ and AA or IFN-γ and melittin. Treatment of HL-60 cells with indomethacin, an inhibitor of cyclo-oxygenase, and nordihydroguaiaretic acid (NDGA), an inhibitor of lipoxygenase, had no effects on IFN-γ–mediated induction of CD64 expression. These studies indicate a key role for the phospholipase A2/AA pathway, as an early biochemical signal elicited by the occupation of IFN-γ–receptor, in mediating IFN-γ induction of the SM cycle and phenotypic changes associated with differentiation of HL-60 along monocytic lineage.
