Abstract
Acute myeloid leukemia (AML) is characterized by the accumulation of immature blood cell precursors in the bone marrow. Pharmacologically overcoming the differentiation block in this condition is an attractive therapeutic avenue, which has achieved success only in a subtype of AML, acute promyelocytic leukemia (APL). Attempts to emulate this success in other AML subtypes have thus far been unsuccessful. Autophagy is a conserved protein degradation pathway with important roles in mammalian cell differentiation, particularly within the hematopoietic system. In the study described here, we investigated the functional importance of autophagy in APL cell differentiation. We found that autophagy is increased during all-trans-retinoic acid (ATRA)-induced granulocytic differentiation of the APL cell line NB4 and that this is associated with increased expression of LC3II and GATE-16 proteins involved in autophagosome formation. Autophagy inhibition, using either drugs (chloroquine/3-methyladenine) or short-hairpin RNA targeting the essential autophagy gene ATG7, attenuates myeloid differentiation. Importantly, we found that enhancing autophagy promotes ATRA-induced granulocytic differentiation of an ATRA-resistant derivative of the non-APL AML HL60 cell line (HL60-Diff-R). These data support the development of strategies to stimulate autophagy as a novel approach to promote differentiation in AML.

Retinoid differentiation therapy for common types of acute myeloid leukemia. LEUKEMIA RESEARCH AND TREATMENT 2012; 2012:939021.

Abstract
Many cancers arise in a tissue stem cell, and cell differentiation is impaired resulting in an accumulation of immature cells. The introduction of all-trans retinoic acid (ATRA) in 1987 to treat acute promyelocytic leukemia (APL), a rare subtype of acute myeloid leukemia (AML), pioneered a new approach to obtain remission in malignancies by restoring the terminal maturation of leukemia cells resulting in these cells having a limited lifespan. Differentiation therapy also offers the prospect of a less aggressive treatment by virtue of attenuated growth of leukemia cells coupled to limited damage to normal cells. The success of ATRA in differentiation therapy of APL is well known. However, ATRA does not work in non-APL AML. Here we examine some of the molecular pathways towards new retinoid-based differentiation therapy of non-APL AML. Prospects include modulation of the epigenetic status of ATRA-insensitive AML cells, agents that influence intracellular signalling events that are provoked by ATRA, and the use of novel synthetic retinoids.

Abstract
All-trans retinoic acid (ATRA) induces granulocytic maturation of WEHI-3B D+ leukemia cells and LiCl enhances this maturation, while WEHI-3B D- cells are non-responsive to ATRA. Transfection of SCL, expressed in D- but absent in D+ cells, into D+ cells, caused resistance to ATRA, while transfection of GATA-1 into D+ cells produced resistance to the combination of ATRA and LiCl. SCL expression in D+ cells did not induce the expression of c-Kit, a putative target gene for SCL. LiCl, known to inhibit some kinases by displacing Mg2+, did not affect tyrosine kinase activity of the cytoplasmic domain of c-Kit.

Abstract
Exogenous expression of the transcription factor Scl (Tal1) in WEHI-3B D+ myelomonocytic leukemia cells interferes with their capacity to respond to all-trans retinoic acid (ATRA) induced differentiation; combination of ATRA with LiCl, however, circumvents the inhibition of differentiation produced by Scl. To gain information on the possible involvement of this transcription factor in the non-responsiveness of acute myelocytic leukemia (AML) patients to ATRA, we compared the endogenous expression levels of Scl and its transcription complex partners [i.e., Rbtn1 (LMO1), Rbtn2 (LMO2), Ldb1, and GATA family proteins] in leukemic blast cells from patients with AML and acute promyelocytic leukemia (APL), and determined the effects of lithium chloride alone or in combination with ATRA on the capacity of blast cells to differentiate during short-term ex vivo culture. Levels of Scl, Rbtn2, GATA1, and Ldb1 expression were comparable in AML and APL blasts, while the levels of expression of Rbtn1, GATA2, and GATA3 were absent or markedly lower in APL cells. Differentiation markers (cell surface myeloid antigens CD11b, CD15, CD14, and CD33) were also analyzed in blast cells. ATRA produced changes in at least one surface antigen differentiation marker in 89% of patient blasts, while LiCl caused such changes in 72% of the leukemic cells of patients. The combination of LiCl and ATRA induced the differentiation of leukemic blasts from 94% of patients. Although the expression of the transcription factors did not act as individual predictors of responsiveness or non-responsiveness to the inducers of differentiation, ATRA or ATRA plus LiCl, the addition of LiCl to ATRA increased the differentiation response over that of ATRA alone in a number of leukemic samples. These findings suggest that the combination of LiCl and ATRA may produce some clinical benefit in the treatment of the myeloid leukemias.

Abstract
We have previously shown that forced expression of the transcription factor Scl in WEHI-3B D(+) cells prevents ATRA-induced cell differentiation. We now find that the overexpression of Rbtn2 also interferes with induction of differentiation by ATRA. Addition of LiCl to ATRA treatment restored the capacity of both Scl- and Rbtn2-expressing cells to respond to the retinoid in a synergistic manner. Similar results were obtained with Scl-transfected HL60 cells where its expression diminished responsiveness to ATRA. These findings suggest that if Scl and/or Rbtn2 are involved in the non-responsiveness of AML patients to ATRA-induced differentiation, addition of LiCl may reverse insensitivity.

Abstract
LiCl interacts synergistically with all-trans-retinoic acid, promoting the terminal differentiation of WEHI-3B D(+) cells, a phenomenon partially due to the ability of the monovalent lithium cation to inhibit the proteasome-dependent degradation of retinoic acid receptor alpha protein. In this report, the 20S proteasome was purified from WEHI-3B D(+) cells and the effects of LiCl on chymotrypsin-like (Chtl) activity and peptidyl-glutamyl peptide hydrolyzing (PGPH) activity were determined. LiCl functions to inactivate both proteasomal activities in a time-dependent manner, without affecting non-proteasomal proteases. The half-lives for inactivation of Chtl and PGPH hydrolyzing activities were approximately 23 and 36min, respectively, at 10mM LiCl. Both SDS and peptide substrate increased the rate of inactivation. Partial enzymatic activity was recovered after dialysis in the absence of SDS, indicating that the off-rate for lithium was extremely slow. The findings suggest that the inactivation of Chtl and PGPH activities by LiCl occurs through a proteasomal conformational change.

Abstract
Lithium affects several enzymatic activities, however, the molecular mechanisms of lithium actions are not fully understood. We previously showed that LiCl interacts synergistically with all-trans-retinoic acid to promote terminal differentiation of WEHI-3B D(+) cells, a phenomenon accompanied by the recovery of the retinoid-induced loss of retinoic acid receptor alpha protein pools. Here, we demonstrate the effects of LiCl on proteasome-dependent degradation of retinoic acid receptor alpha proteins. LiCl alone, or in combination with all-trans-retinoic acid, increased cellular levels of ubiquitinated retinoic acid receptor alpha and markedly reduced chymotryptic-like activity of WEHI-3B D(+) 20 S and 26 S proteasome enzymes. Neither KCl nor all-trans-retinoic acid affected enzyme activity, whereas NaCl produced a modest reduction at relatively high concentrations. In addition, LiCl inhibited 20 S proteasome chymotryptic-like activity from rabbits but had no effect on tryptic-like activity of the 26 S proteasome. This effect has significant consequences in stabilizing the retinoic acid receptor alpha protein levels that are necessary to promote continued differentiation of leukemia cells in response to all-trans-retinoic acid. In support of this concept, combination of proteasome inhibitors beta-clastolactacystin or benzyloxycarbonyl-Leu-Leu-Phe with all-trans-retinoic acid increased differentiation of WEHI-3B D(+) cells in a manner that was analogous to the combination of LiCl and all-trans-retinoic acid.

Abstract
AbstractPrevious studies have demonstrated that combinations of all-trans retinoic acid (ATRA) with either granulocyte-colony stimulating factor (G-CSF) or lithium chloride (LiCl) produced synergistic terminal differentiation of WEHI-3B myelomonocytic leukemia (D+) cells. It was found that steady-state retinoic acid receptor alpha (RARα) protein levels were markedly reduced in these cells after exposure to ATRA. Because the presence of receptors for a hormone ligand is required for its action, differentiation therapy with ATRA may be self-limiting. The combination of G-CSF with ATRA significantly attenuated the loss of RARα protein, and synergistic terminal differentiation occurred. LiCl was more effective than G-CSF in preserving RARα pools and synergized with ATRA more strongly than G-CSF. These findings suggested that the prevention of RARα protein loss by G-CSF or LiCl in ATRA-treated cells functioned to extend the differentiation response to the retinoid and was responsible, at least in part, for the observed synergism. D+ cells transfected with an expression plasmid containing RARα cDNA had a 6- to 8-fold increase in steady-state RARα mRNA compared with vector-transfected cells and showed a 2- to 3-fold increase in RARα protein. ATRA caused a reduction, but not a complete loss, of RARα protein in these transfectants, which were considerably more responsive than parental D+ cells to ATRA as a single agent, supporting the concept that the protection of RARα pools results in a heightened differentiation response to ATRA.

Abstract
Some of the psychotropic agents widely used for the amelioration of anxiety, depression, and psychosis also show an effect at the cellular proliferation level. Surprisingly little research, however, has been directed to the antitumoral potential of these drugs, alone or in combination with established cancer treatments. Our review of the literature to date has yielded some promising early findings. Ligands active at the benzodiazepine (BZ) receptors have been studied the most extensively and were found to have differential, concentration-dependent effects on the growth and proliferation of both normal and cancer cells. Of the phenothiazines tested, chlorpromazine (CPZ) and perphenazine (PPZ) had the most potent cytotoxic action on fibroblasts and glioma cells. Antiproliferative effects also were noted by these and other agents in leukemic and breast cancer cell lines. Additional psychotropic drugs studied include the atypical antipsychotics, antidepressants, and mood stabilizers, especially lithium. Most of the reported activities were observed in in vitro studies and were achieved at high pharmacological concentrations. Further in vivo studies in well-designed animal models are warranted to determine whether these well-tolerated, relatively inexpensive, and widely available drugs or their derivatives may be added in the future to the armamentarium of cancer pharmacotherapy.

Abstract
The WEHI-3B D+ leukemia is a near-diploid differentiation-competent cell line that undergoes myeloid differentiation in response to retinoic acid. WEHI-3B D- cells, derived from WEHI-3B D+ cells, are near tetraploid and not responsive to the differentiation-inducing properties of the retinoid. To gain information on mechanisms that regulate the maturation of these two cell lines, several multiploid cell lines have been established through fusion of WEHI-3B D+ and WEHI-3B D- cells. Studies with the multiploid cell lines have shown that (a) the cellular growth rate decreases with increased DNA ploidy; (b) near-tetraploid D+/+ cells, obtained by fusing WEHI-3B D+ with WEHI-3B D+ cells, remain differentiation-competent, demonstrating that no direct relationship exists between differentiation competency and DNA ploidy; and (c) near-hexaploid D +/- and D -/+ cells, formed by fusion of WEHI-3B D+ with WEHI-3B D- cells, do not respond to differentiation inducers, suggesting the inhibition of the differentiation machinery of WEHI-3B D+ cells by components from maturation-incompetent WEHI-3B D- cells. The scl transcription factor gene is expressed in WEHI-3B D- cells and is absent in WEHI-3B D+ cells. Overexpression of scl by transfection of scl cDNA in WEHI-3B D+ cells markedly decreased the capacity of retinoic acid to induce differentiation, suggesting that scl functions as a repressor of differentiation in WEHI-3B cell lines.
