Abstract
Gene-modified cell vaccines are the best way to achieve the immunotherapy for all types of acute leukemia. In this study, the recombinant eukaryotic expression vector (pDisplay-HSP70) of heat shock protein 70 (HSP70) of Bacille Calmette-Guérin (BCG) was constructed by amplifying the whole BCG HSP70 gene using polymerase chain reaction (PCR) and sub-cloning into the polyclone endonuclease sites in pDisplay. Then the HL-60 cell vaccine expressing the protein onto the cell surface was prepared by lipofectamine transfection and its anti-tumor effect and mechanism were further studied. Results showed that the fragment of BCG HSP70 was consistent with Mycobacterium tuberculosis HSP70 gene published in GeneBank. DNA sequencing showed that the recombinant vector was correctly constructed and named pDisplay-HSP70. After BCG HSP70 gene transfection, the yellow-green fluorescence on the HL-60 cells surface was observed under a fluorescence microscope. The immunogenicity of HSP70-transfected HL-60 cells exhibited upregulated proliferation of lymphocytes, increased cytokine secretion (IFN-γ) and enhanced killing activity. These results suggested that gene transfection of BCG HSP70 could significantly enhance the immunogenicity of HL-60 cells. It may be used as a suitable candidate gene-modified cell vaccine for cancer immunotherapy.

Abstract
Surface molecules are important biomarkers for cell proliferation and differentiation and play important roles in cell function and cell interaction. Notch is a transmembrane receptor that regulates developmental processes and cell-fate decision. Histamine is used as an adjunct to immunotherapy in myelogenous leukemia, and regulates hematopoietic cell development. Thus, we investigated the effects of histamine on immunophenotype and Notch signaling in human HL-60 leukemia cells. Histamine (0.1-10 microM) inhibited the colony-forming efficiency of HL-60 cells in a dose-dependent fashion and shifted the growth curve to the right. HL-60 cells were treated with histamine 0.1-1.0 microM for 6 days, and surface molecules were analyzed by flow cytometry. Histamine decreased CD49d positive cells by 74% while increasing CD31 positive cells by 53% as compared to controls. Histamine did not affect the expression of CD11b, CD14, CD34, CD44, CD54, CD49e, and CD62L. To examine Notch signaling in histamine-induced immunophenotype alterations in HL-60 cells, total RNA was isolated, purified, and subjected to real-time RT-PCR analysis. The expressions of Notch1, Notch4, the ligands Jagged1, Delta4, and the downstream hairy enhancer of split 1 gene (HES1) were not significantly altered by histamine. In summary, this study demonstrated that histamine inhibited HL-60 cell growth and regulated immunophenotypes of CD49d and CD31. These effects are not mediated through the Notch signaling.

Abstract
Disseminated candidiasis is a frequent infection in neutropenic patients, in whom it causes 50% mortality, despite antifungal therapy. As the duration of neutropenia is the strongest predictor of survival in neutropenic patients with invasive fungal infections, neutrophil transfusions are a logical, therapeutic option. However, significant technical barriers have prevented the clinical use of neutrophil transfusions. To overcome these barriers, we identified a human phagocytic cell line that could be administered to candidemic hosts in lieu of freshly harvested neutrophils. HL-60 cells killed Candida albicans in vitro. Activation of HL-60 cells with dimethyl sulfoxide and retinoic acid abrogated the cells' proliferation and augmented their killing of C. albicans. Administration of activated HL-60 cells to candidemic, neutropenic mice significantly improved survival (53% vs. 0%). Live HL-60 cells chemotaxed to sites of infection, phagocytized C. albicans, and reduced the fungal burden in key target organs. Although unactivated HL-60 cells also reduced tissue fungal burden in vivo, they did not improve survival as a result of their toxicity in infected mice. In contrast, no toxicity as a result of activated HL-60 cells was observed at up to 2 months of follow-up. To our knowledge, this is the first description of a cell line-based immunotherapy for an infectious disease. With further refinements, activated HL-60 cells have the potential to overcome the technical barriers to neutrophil transfusions.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Advanced glycation end-products (AGEs) have been identified to be accumulated in blood and tissues of patients with end-stage renal disease (ESRD). AGEs have been shown to modulate immune competent cell activities and in this way they may contribute to the progression of atherosclerosis. All studies in this context have been performed, however, with generated mix of glycation compounds, and not with structures similar to those encountered in uremia. In the present study, the immunologic effect of specific AGE compounds, known to be retained in uremia, has been evaluated. METHODS Four albumin preparations, modified chemically at lysine or arginine residues, respectively, to contain N-epsilon-carboxymethyllysine (CML albumin), N-epsilon-carboxyethyllysine (CEL albumin), glyoxal-induced imidazolinones (Arg I albumin) or methylglyoxal-induced imidazolinones (Arg II albumin) were applied. Their effect on chemiluminescence production, CD14 expression, and the DNA synthesis of calcitriol-differentiated HL-60 (monocyte/macrophage phenotype) was studied. RESULTS The phorbol 12-myristate 13-acetate (PMA)-stimulated chemiluminescence production of the calcitriol differentiated HL-60 cells was enhanced in the presence of CEL albumin (44.1 +/- 18.5 vs. 64.7 +/- 28.1 counts 10(3)/30 min) (P < 0.05), Arg I albumin (46.4 +/- 18.8 vs. 66.1 +/- 32.6 counts 10(3)/30 min) (P < 0.05) and CML albumin (41.9 +/- 25.5 vs. 60.9 +/- 5.5 counts 10(3)/30 min) (P= 0.0625) pointing to an increase in free radical production. The latter AGE compounds also significantly increased the calcitriol-induced CD14 expression on HL-60 cells (1675 +/- 796 vs. 2075 +/- 1044; 768 +/- 143 vs. 890 +/- 150; 647 +/- 63 vs. 716 +/- 69 mean fluorescence intensity) (P < 0.05, respectively) pointing to an increase in expression of the lipopolysaccharide (LPS) receptor. Finally, the DNA synthesis of the calcitriol-differentiated HL-60 cells was enhanced in the presence of Arg I albumin [34.5 +/- 4.6 vs. 27.7 +/- 9.7% 5-bromo-2'-deoxyuridine (BrdU)-positive cells] (P < 0.05) resulting in an increased cell proliferation. CONCLUSION Genuine AGE compounds, as they are encountered in the uremic condition, activate leukocyte response, and hence could play a role in uremia related atherogenesis.

Abstract
The mechanism of chemotherapeutic drug-induced apoptosis in leukaemic cells was studied to further investigate whether Fas/FasL system was involved in apoptosis induced by chemotherapeutic drugs and assess their effects when used in combination with soluble FasL (sFasL). The expression of Fas on human leukaemic cell lines K562, HL-60 and U937 treated with daunorubicin (DNR) or cytosine arabinoside (Ara-C) was detected by using flow cytometry. The activities of sFasL, DNR and Ara-C inducing apoptosis of leukaemic cells, in the absence or presence of neutralizing anti-Fas IgG antibody, were detected by using flow cytometry and TUNEL. The results showed that flow cytometric profiles of K562, HL-60 and U937 cells treated with DNR or Ara-C failed to show any significant increase in Fas expression over 18 h (P > 0.05). Anti-Fas monoclonal antibody (IgG) could not block the apoptosis in leukaemic cells induced by DNR or Ara-C, but could block the apoptosis induced by sFasL. A role of sFasL in a cytotoxic synergistic effect when used in combination with chemotherapeutic drugs was revealed. It was concluded that chemotherapeutic drug-induced apoptosis in human leukaemic cells (UG37, HL-60) is independent of the Fas/FasL system, but combination of sFasL and drug treatment produces a synergistic cytotoxic effect on human leukaemic cells.

Abstract
Candida albicans is an opportunistic human pathogen causing both superficial and disseminated diseases. It is a dimorphic fungus, switching between yeast and hyphal forms, depending on cues from its microenvironment. Hyphae play an important role in the pathogenesis of candidiasis. The host's response to Candida infection is multifaceted and includes the participation of granulocytes as key effector cells. The aim of this investigation was to study host gene expression during granulocyte-Candida interaction. Effector cells were generated by the granulocytic differentiation of HL60 cells. The resulting cell population was shown to be morphologically and functionally equivalent to granulocytes and is therefore referred to as HL60 granulocytoids for the purposes of this study. Gene expression profiles were determined 1 h after hosts were infected with C. albicans. Three Candida-granulocytoid ratios were chosen to reflect different degrees of HL60 granulocytoid inhibition of C. albicans. The data demonstrate that at the high pathogen-host ratio, C. albicans modulated the HL60 granulocytoid's response by downregulating the expression of known antimicrobial genes. In addition, looking at the expression of a large number of genes, not all of which have necessarily been implicated in candidastatic or candidacidal mechanisms, it has been possible to describe the physiological response of the HL60 granulocytoid to an infectious challenge with C. albicans. Finally, some of the observed changes in HL60 granulocytoid gene expression were investigated in freshly isolated human polymorphonuclear leukocytes infected with C. albicans. Similar changes were seen in these primary human cells, lending support to the validity of this model.

Abstract
An assay for inhibitors of LFA-1/ICAM-1 mediated cell-cell adhesion has been employed to identify new pharmacologically active compounds from marine cyanobacteria and algae. From a panel of sixty unusual marine natural products, seventeen compounds inhibited LFA-1/ICAM-1-based cell aggregation without showing significant cytotoxicity in the primary assay. Six compounds inhibited the cell-cell adhesion of HL-60 cells to CHO-ICAM-1 cells. The unusual oxylipin Cymathere aldehyde methyl ester (IC (50) 3.5 microM), cyanobacterial lipopeptides microcolins B (IC (50) 0.15 microM) and D (IC (50) 0.9 microM), bromophenol avrainvilleol (IC (50) 2.2 microM), sesquiterpene cymopol (IC (50) 2.7 microM), and cryptophyte derived compound styrylchromone hormothamnione diacetate (IC (50) 1.5 microM) significantly inhibited LFA-1/ICAM-1 mediated cell adhesion. The pharmacological activity and structure-activity relationships of selected marine algal metabolites are described. Abbreviations.

Abstract
This study was designed to determine the effect of immunotoxin HuM195/rGel on normal human bone marrow before clinical purging. HuM195/rGel is composed of the recombinant plant toxin gelonin (rGel) chemically coupled to the anti-CD33 human chimeric antibody HuM195. The CD33 antigen is of significant interest as a target for therapy of acute myelogenous leukemia because it is present in leukemic blasts of most patients but absent in the earliest progenitor bone marrow cells. HuM195/rGel was optimally cytotoxic to acute myelogenous leukemia HL60 cells with 24 hours of exposure. We developed an in vivo purging model by mixing mobilized peripheral blood progenitor cells with HL60 cells to simulate a remission in bone marrow. Cells were treated with 10 nmol/L of HuM195/rGel either with or without exposure to freeze/thaw procedure, which has been reported to act synergistically with HuM195/rGel to produce cytotoxic effect. When clonogenic cell recovery rates were determined, HuM195/rGel alone did not affect normal peripheral blood progenitor cells, whereas HuM195/rGel plus freeze/thaw provided 2 logs of tumor cell elimination in our purging model. We also observed similar results under conditions used in the transplantation setting. We concluded that for acute myelogenous leukemia blasts expressing CD33, HuM195/rGel could be useful as a purging reagent for autologous transplantation.

Abstract
The expression of interleukin-1beta (IL-1beta) messenger RNA (mRNA) in macrophage-like cells cultured on phospholipid polymers was evaluated to determine the extent of the inflammatory response. As phospholipid polymers, poly(2-methacryloyloxyethyl phosphorylcholine(MPC)-co-n-butyl methacrylate(BMA)s (PMBs) were synthesized. Poly(ethylene terephthalate) (PET), poly(2-hydroxyethyl methacrylate) (PHEMA), and segmented poly(ether urethane) (Tecoflex 60) were used as reference biomedical polymers. The protein adsorption onto the polymer surfaces from a cell culture medium was determined. The amount of the total protein adsorbed onto the PMBs was lower than that adsorbed onto the reference polymers, and the amount of adsorbed protein decreased with an increase in the MPC units in the PMBs. Human premyelocytic leukemia cell line (HL-60) was used, and the expression of IL-1beta mRNA was investigated with the reverse transcription polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR) method. When HL-60 cells were cultured on PMBs, the expression of IL-1beta mRNA in the cells was much less than that on the reference polymers. In particular, the expression of IL-1beta mRNA in HL-60 cells cultured on the PMBs containing more than 10 mol % MPC units was not detected. This corresponded to the reduced amount of adsorbed proteins on the PMB surfaces. These results suggest that the PMBs effectively suppressed the activation and inflammatory response of adherent macrophagelike cells.

Abstract
To investigate the underlying mechanism for induction of CD86 molecules, we analysed the ability of the histone deacetylase (HDAC) inhibitor, sodium butyrate (NaB), to induce CD86 at the transcriptional level in HL60 cells. Our studies showed that the expression of CD86 on the cell surface was increased by 24 hr of NaB treatment, and the enhancement of CD86 mRNA expression was observed by real-time polymerase chain reaction. When we measured NF-kappaB binding activity, significant activity was induced upon NaB stimulation, which was suppressed by the addition of pyrrolidine dithiocarbamate. Butyrate also induced phosphorylated cAMP response element-binding protein (CREB), which bound to cAMP-responsive elements. Dibutyryl (db) -cAMP induced active CREB and increased the levels of CD86 by 24 hr. These observations indicated that NF-kappaB and/or CREB are crucial for butyrate-dependent activation of CD86 gene expression. We examined the inhibitory effects of various caspase inhibitors on the expression of CD86 in cells treated with NaB, because NaB also induced apoptosis with slow kinetics. Intriguingly, our results demonstrated that inhibitors of the interleukin-1beta converting enzyme subfamily (caspase-1, -4, -5 and -13) blocked the butyrate-induced increase in level of CD86. These inhibitors interfered with CD86 gene transcription in the presence of activated NF-kappaB, whereas phosphorylated CREB was down-regulated in the reactions where these inhibitors were added to inhibit CD86 gene expression. These results suggested that butyrate not only acetylates histones on the CD86 promoter through the suppression of HDAC activity, but that butyrate also regulates CREB-mediated transcription, possibly through the caspase activities triggered by NaB.

Abstract
Immunoblots of a two-dimensional PAGE-separated HL-60 cell proteomic map and mass spectrometry were combined to characterize proteins targeted by autoantibodies produced by male (New Zealand White x BXSB)F(1) (WB) mice that develop lupus and anti-phospholipid syndrome. Analysis of sera sequentially obtained from seven individual mice at different ages showed that six proteins, vimentin, heat shock protein 60, UV excision-repair protein RAD23, alpha-enolase, heterogeneous nuclear ribonucleoprotein L, and nucleophosmin, were the targets of the B cell autoimmune response, and that autoantibodies to them were synthesized sequentially in an orderly pattern that recurred in all the male WB mice analyzed: anti-vimentin first and anti-nucleophosmin last, with anti-RAD23 and anti-heat shock protein 60, then anti-alpha-enolase and anti-heterogeneous nuclear ribonucleoprotein L Abs occuring concomitantly. Anti-vimentin reactivity always appeared before anti-cardiolipin and anti-DNA Abs, suggesting that vimentin is the immunogen initiating the autoimmune process. The pattern of HL-60 proteins recognized by female WB sera differed from that of male sera, indicating that the Y chromosome-linked autoimmune acceleration gene is not an accelerator but a strong modifier of the autoimmune response. Thus, 1) combining two-dimensional PAGE and mass spectrometry constitutes a powerful tool to identify the set of Ags bound by autoantibodies present in a single serum and the whole autoantibody pattern of an autoimmune disease; 2) the diversification of the autoimmune response in male WB mice occurs in a predetermined pattern consistent with Ag spreading, and thus provides a useful model to further our understanding of the development of the autoantibody response in lupus.

Abstract
Shedding of intercellular adhesion molecule 1 (ICAM-1) is believed to play a role in tumor cell resistance to cell-mediated cytotoxicity. However, the mechanism whereby ICAM-1 is shed from the surface of tumor cells remains unclear. In this study, we have addressed the possibility that matrix metalloproteinases are implicated in ICAM-1 shedding. Our observations suggest a functional relationship between ICAM-1 and matrix metalloproteinase 9 (MMP-9) whereby ICAM-1 provides a cell surface docking mechanism for proMMP-9, which, upon activation, proteolytically cleaves the extracellular domain of ICAM-1 leading to its release from the cell surface. MMP-9-dependent shedding of ICAM-1 is found to augment tumor cell resistance to natural killer (NK) cell-mediated cytotoxicity. Taken together, our observations propose a mechanism for ICAM-1 shedding from the cell surface and provide support for MMP involvement in tumor cell evasion of immune surveillance.

Abstract
Neutrophils are critical effector cells in humoral and innate immunity and play a vital role in phagocytosis and bacterial killing. If they and/or their specific functions are lacking, then immunoparalysis may occur, and severe diseases like systemic inflammatory response syndrome (SIRS) or sepsis can take a fatal course. In this paper, we discuss the possibility of using preconditioned cells in an extracorporeal biohybrid immune support system. A human promyelocytic cell line was stimulated for different times with all-trans retinoic acid. The resulting cells displayed major signs and functions of mature neutrophilic granulocytes including oxygen radical production, phagocytosis of living and dead Escherichia coli, Staphylococcus aureus, Candida albicans, intracellular killing, and interleukin production. The cells can be expanded to yield a sufficient cell mass, and subsequent prestimulation results in an expression of specific neutrophil functions. Extracorporeal bioreactor experiments seem to be feasible to test the benefit in immunoparalysis-associated diseases like SIRS or sepsis.

Abstract
Different leukemias express on their plasma membranes particular subsets of the 247 defined cluster of differentiation (CD) antigens, which may resemble those of precursor cells along the lineages of differentiation to mature myeloid and lymphoid leukocytes. The extent of use of CD antigen expression (immunophenotyping) for identification of leukemias has been constrained by the technique used, flow cytometry, which commonly specifies only three CD antigens in any one assay. Currently, leukemias and lymphomas are diagnosed using a combination of morphology, immunophenotype, cytochemistry, and karyotype. We have developed a rapid, simple procedure, which enables concurrent determination of 50 or more CD antigens on leukocytes or leukemia cells in a single analysis using a microarray of antibodies. A suspension of cells is applied to the array, and cells only bind to antibody dots for which they express the corresponding CD antigen. For patients with significantly raised leukocyte counts, the resulting dot pattern then represents the immunophenotype of those cells. For patients at earlier stages of disease, the diagnosis depends on recognition of dot patterns distinct from the background of normal leukocytes. Distinctive and reproducible dot patterns have been obtained for normal peripheral blood leukocytes, chronic lymphocytic leukemia (CLL), hairy cell leukemia, mantle cell lymphoma, acute myeloid leukemia, and T-cell acute lymphoblastic leukemia. The consensus pattern for CD antigen expression found on CLL cells taken from 20 patients in descending order of cells bound was CD44, HLA-DR, CD37, CD19, CD20, CD5, CD52, CD45RA, CD22, CD24, CD45, CD23, CD21, CD71, CD11c, and CD9. The antigens that provided the best discrimination between CLL and normal peripheral blood leukocytes were CD19, CD20, CD21, CD22, CD23, CD24, CD25, and CD37. Results obtained for the expression of 48 CD antigens from the microarray compared well with flow cytometry. The microarray enables extensive immunophenotyping, and the intact cells captured on antibody dots can be further characterized using soluble, fluorescently labeled antibodies.

Abstract
Jaspamide, a natural peptide isolated from the marine sponge Hemiastrella minor, was used in the study of polyploidy in HL-60 cells. Jaspamide at 5 x 10(-8) M concentration exhibited antiproliferative activity and an increased CD4 and CD14 surface expression. After 2 days of cultivation, 56.3% of the exposed cells became multinuclear compared with 2.4% in controls. Moreover, the size and the number of nuclei of the cells increased in a time-dependent manner. An increased number of metaphase chromosomes was observed by microscopical enumeration after colcemid treatment for 60 min. The analysis of the DNA content of these cells, measured by propidium iodide staining, revealed a significant increase in the cells percentage with increased DNA content. Taken together, these findings indicate that the jaspamide treatment induces polyploidization in the HL-60 cell line.

Abstract
The cysteinyl leukotrienes, leukotriene (LT) C(4), LTD(4), and LTE(4), are lipid mediators that have been implicated in the pathogenesis of several inflammatory processes, including asthma. The human LTD(4) receptor, CysLT(1)R, was recently cloned and characterized. We had previously shown that HL-60 cells differentiated toward the eosinophilic lineage (HL-60/eos) developed specific functional LTD(4) receptors. The present work was undertaken to study the potential modulation of CysLT(1)R expression in HL-60/eos by IL-5, an important regulator of eosinophil function. Here, we report that IL-5 rapidly up-regulates CysLT(1)R mRNA expression, with consequently enhanced CysLT(1)R protein expression and function in HL-60/eos. CysLT(1)R mRNA expression was augmented 2- to 15-fold following treatment with IL-5 (1-20 ng/ml). The effect was seen after 2 h, was maximal by 4 h, and maintained at 8 h. Although CysLT(1)R mRNA was constitutively expressed in undifferentiated HL-60 cells, its expression was not modulated by IL-5 in the absence of differentiation. Differentiated HL-60/eos cells pretreated with IL-5 (10 ng/ml) for 24 h showed enhanced CysLT(1)R expression on the cell surface, as assessed by flow cytometry using a polyclonal anti-CysLT(1)R Ab. They also showed enhanced responsiveness to LTD(4), but not to LTB(4) or platelet-activating factor, in terms of Ca(2+) mobilization, and augmented the chemotactic response to LTD(4). Our findings suggest a possible mechanism by which IL-5 can modulate eosinophil functions and particularly their responsiveness to LTD(4), and thus contribute to the pathogenesis of asthma and allergic diseases.

Abstract
P-selectin (CD62P) is an adhesion molecule expressed on the activated endothelium and activated platelets that is involved in the initial attachment of leukocytes to inflamed vascular endothelium. Blocking monoclonal antibodies (mAbs) and P-selectin-deficient mice have shown that P-selectin is a potential target in anti-inflammatory therapy. Most mAbs against P-selectin do not bind to conserved epitopes, including the ligand-binding region, since P-selectin from mammalian species shares high amino acid sequence homology. The aim of this study was to generate a novel panel of anti-P-selectin mAbs against the conserved epitopes present in several animal species. To produce these mAbs, P-selectin-deficient mice were immunized with a pre-B-cell line transfected with human P-selectin cDNA. Twelve mouse mAbs that recognize human P-selectin were obtained. Individual mAbs that bound to human, rat, mouse, rabbit and pig activated platelets were characterized by flow-cytometry, immunohistochemistry, adhesion assays and immunoprecipitation. Four of these mAbs (P-sel.KO.2.3, P-sel.KO.2.4, P-sel.KO.2.7 and P-sel.KO.2.12) cross-reacted with human, rat and mouse P-selectin. Another three mAbs (P-sel.KO.2.2, P-sel.KO.2.11 and P-sel.KO.2.12) blocked the attachment of HL60 cells to P-selectin-transfected COS cells, demonstrating that these mAbs inhibit P-selectin-mediated adhesion. MAb cross-blocking experiments showed that these three mAbs bind to very close and overlapping epitopes. An ELISA assay using mAbs P-sel.KO.2.3 and P-sel.KO.2.12 was designed to measure soluble rat, mouse and human P-selectin. These anti-P-selectin mAbs are unique since they recognize common epitopes conserved during mammalian evolution and they may be useful for studying P-selectin function in inflammatory models in various species.

Abstract
The maintenance of telomere length is crucial for cell survival. Recently, it has been indicated that the human telomeric protein TRF1 is involved in the negative feedback mechanism that stabilizes telomere length. We studied TRF1 mRNA expression in hematopoietic cells to clarify the relation between TRF1 and telomerase by semiquantitative reverse transcriptase-polymerase chain reaction. In polymorphonuclear cells and monocytes isolated from peripheral blood, relatively low levels of TRF1 mRNA expression were seen, compared with those of lymphocytes and CD34+. We then assessed TRF1 mRNA expression in CD34+ cells cultured in vitro with growth factors. After 4 weeks of culture, all the cells showed myeloid differentiation, and telomerase activity was down-regulated. TRF1 mRNA was expressed in CD34+ cells but was down-regulated in cells cultured for 4 weeks. We conclude that TRF1 mRNA expression is down-regulated in accordance with telomerase down-regulation during the course of myeloid differentiation.

Abstract
In a previous report, we indicated that 1alpha,23(S), 25-trihydroxy-24-oxovitamin D(3) [1alpha,23(S), 25(OH)(3)-24-oxo-D(3)], a natural metabolite of 1alpha, 25-dihydroxyvitamin D(3) [1alpha,25(OH)(2)D(3)] is almost equipotent to 1alpha,25(OH)(2)D(3) in suppressing parathyroid hormone (PTH) secretion (Lee et al., 1997. Biochemistry 36, 9429-9437). Also, 1alpha,23(S),25(OH)(3)-24-oxo-D(3) has been shown to possess only weak in vivo calcemic actions. Thus, vitamin D(3) analogs structurally related to 1alpha,23(S),25(OH)(3)-24-oxo-D(3) may have therapeutic value. Furthermore, biologic activity studies of various synthetic analogs of 1alpha,25(OH)(2)D(3) showed that the removal of carbon-19 (C-19) reduces the calcemic activity of 1alpha, 25(OH)(2)D(3.) Therefore, in an attempt to produce vitamin D(3) analogs with a better therapeutic index, we synthesized C(23) epimers of 1alpha,23,25(OH)(3)-24-oxo-19-nor-vitamin D(3) [1alpha,23, 25(OH)(3)-24-oxo-19-nor-D(3)]. The two epimers were compared to 1alpha,25(OH)(2)-19-nor-D(3) and 1alpha,25(OH)(2)D(3) in their ability to generate biologic activities in several in vitro assay systems. In the assay measuring the suppression of parathyroid hormone (PTH) secretion in bovine parathyroid cells, 1alpha,23(S), 25(OH)(3)-24-oxo-19-nor-D(3) was as potent as 1alpha, 25(OH)(2)-19-nor-D(3) but was less potent than 1alpha,25(OH)(2)D(3). In the same assay 1alpha,23(R),25(OH)(3)-24-oxo-19-nor-D(3) exhibited greater potency than 1alpha,23(S), 25(OH)(3)-24-oxo-19-nor-D(3). In the assays measuring the ability of vitamin D compounds to inhibit clonal growth and to induce differentiation of human promyelocytic leukemia (HL-60) cells, 1alpha,23(S),25(OH)(3)-24-oxo-19-nor-D(3) was less potent than 1alpha,25(OH)(2)-19-nor-D(3) but was equipotent to 1alpha, 25(OH)(2)D(3). More importantly, in the same assays, 1alpha,23(R), 25(OH)(3)-24-oxo-19-nor-D(3) was more potent than 1alpha,23(S), 25(OH)(3)-24-oxo-19-nor-D(3) and was equipotent to 1alpha, 25(OH)(2)-19-nor-D(3). Also, the vitamin D receptor-mediated transcriptional activity of 1alpha,23(R), 25(OH)(3)-24-oxo-19-nor-D(3) was almost equal to that of 1alpha, 25(OH)(2)-19-nor-D(3), but higher than that of 1alpha,23(S), 25(OH)(3)-24-oxo-19-nor-D(3). This finding explains in part the greater in vitro biologic activities of 1alpha,23(R), 25(OH)(3)-24-oxo-19-nor-D(3). In summary, our results indicate that 1alpha,23(R),25(OH)(3)-24-oxo-19-nor-D(3) and to a lesser extent 1alpha,23(S),25(OH)(3)-24-oxo-19-nor-D(3) are potent 19-nor vitamin D(3) analogs, which suppress PTH secretion in bovine parathyroid cells and strongly inhibit clonal growth and induce differentiation of HL-60 cells in vitro.

Abstract
The influence of interferential current (IFC) on the release of four cytokines was investigated. IFC is an amplitude-modulated 4 kHz current used in therapeutic applications. Human promyelocytes (HL-60) were differentiated to monocytes/macrophages by treatment with calcitriol. Release of tumor necrosis factor alpha (TNFalpha) and interleukines 1beta, 6, and 8 (IL-1beta, IL-6, and IL-8) into the supernatant was measured after exposure to IFC at different modulation frequencies. TNFalpha release was stimulated about twofold by 4 kHz sine waves alone. The influences of exposure time (5-30 min) and current density (2.5-2500 microA/c m(2)) were tested. A maximum field effect was found at an exposure time of 15 min and a current density of 250 microA/cm(2). With these exposure conditions (15 min and 250 microA/cm(2) ), cells were treated at different modulation frequencies and reacted for TNFalpha, IL-1beta, and IL-8 release in a complex manner. Within the frequencies studied (0-125 Hz), we found stimulation as well as depression of the release. In a second run the cells were activated by pretreatment with 10 microg/ml lipopolysaccharide (LPS) and exposed in the same way as the nonactivated cells. Again the modulation frequency influenced, in a complex way, the induction of TNFalpha, IL-1beta, and IL-8, resulting in a pattern of stimulation and depression of release different from that found in nonactivated cells. For IL-6 production no significant changes were detected in activated or non-activated cells.

Abstract
There are several competing models of stem cell involvement in acute myeloid leukemia (AML). At issue is whether the disease origin is in the pluripotent stem cell or whether it arises later in a more mature progenitor cell. The observation that the CD33 antigen is present on AML cells, and on normal and leukemic progenitors, suggested that one might be able to target these cells while sparing the normal stem cells. Response rates of acute myelogenous leukemia patients treated with the newly developed anti-CD33 antibody-calicheamicin conjugate suggest that at least for a proportion of patients early precursors responsible for re-establishing hematopoiesis are likely to be predominantly normal in origin.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE To investigate the killing efficacy of cord blood monocyte activated by Anti-CD3 monoclonal antibody(McAb) in K562 and HL-60 cell lines. METHODS By using indirect rosette forming test, antigen expression rate of monocyte was detected. The levels of interleukin-8 (IL-8), IL-6 and tumor necrosis factor alpha (TNF-alpha) were measured by ELISA. The killing efficacy in 3H-thymidine target cells was detected by beta-liquid scintillator. RESULTS After being activated by Anti-CD3McAb and rIL-2, the antigen expression of monocyte was changed markedly. The levels of IL-8, IL-6 and TNF-alpha were increased; The Anti-CD3 McAb activated killer cells produced significant lysis in K562 and HL-60 cell lines and the optimum conditions were as follows: concentration of cells, 1 x 10(6)/ml; Anti-CD3McAb, 1 microgram/ml; rIL-2 1,000 U/ml; time of culture, 72 hrs; ratio of effector/target: 100:1. CONCLUSION Anti-CD3 McAb activated killer cells exhibited a strong cytotoxicity to leukemic cells. Our study provides a theoretical basis for the adoptive immunotherapy of leukemia by activated cord blood.

Abstract
We have shown previously that calcium ionophore (CI) treatment of various myeloid origin cells results in rapid acquisition of properties associated with mature, activated dendritic cells. These properties include increased CD83 and costimulatory molecule expression, tendencies to form dendritic processes, loss of CD14 expression by monocytes, and typically an enhanced capacity to sensitize T lymphocytes to Ag. We here analyze the intracellular signaling pathways by which CI induces acquisition of such properties. Thapsigargin, which raises intracellular Ca2+ levels by antagonizing its sequestration, induced immunophenotypic and morphologic changes that paralleled CI treatment. CI-induced activation was broadly attenuated by the Ca2+ chelating compound EGTA and by calmodulin antagonists trifluoperazine dimaleate and W-7. However, antagonists of signaling pathways downstream to calmodulin displayed more selective inhibitory effects. Calcineurin antagonists cyclosporin A and the FK-506 analogue, ascomycin, diminished costimulatory molecule and CD83 expression, as well as formation of dendritic processes in CI-treated myeloid cells, and strongly attenuated the T cell allosensitizing capacity of CI-treated HL-60 cells. These calcineurin antagonists displayed minimal effect on CI-induced CD14 down-regulation in monocytes. In contrast, the calmodulin-dependent protein kinase antagonists, K252a and KT5926, while displaying only modest effects on CI-induced costimulatory molecule and CD83 expression, strongly blocked CD14 down-regulation. These results are consistent with a Ca2+-dependent mechanism for CI-induced differentiation of myeloid cells, and indicate that multiple discrete signaling pathways downstream to calcium mobilization and calmodulin activation may be essential in regulating this process.

Abstract
The in vitro anti-proliferative properties of various supernatants from MUC1-expressing cell lines and of purified preparations of MUC1 were evaluated. We have observed that supernatants from the MUC1-and MUC3-positive cell line T47D, but not from the MUC1- and MUC4-positive cell line MCF7, were able to inhibit proliferation of cells from various haematopoietic cell lines. Although the activity of T47D supernatants could be abrogated by immunodepletion of MUC1, immunopurified MUC1 from T47D was unable to inhibit cell proliferation. Significantly, supernatants from mouse 3T3 cells transfected with a secreted form of MUC1 or from BHK-21 cells infected with a recombinant vaccinia virus coding for the secreted form of MUC1, as well as preparations of purified MUC1 from bile or urine, were likewise unable to inhibit T cell proliferation. Surprisingly, a crude mixture of bile mucins had a suppressive effect on T cell growth. Our results suggest that other molecules, such as amino sugars or other mucins, which can associate with MUC1, are likely to be responsible for the observed anti-proliferative effects of T47D cells.

Abstract
A subclone HL60/DOX was selected from a human leukemic HL60 cell line for resistance to doxorubicin (DOX) by exposure to stepwise increasing concentrations of the drug and coexposure to a potential P-glycoprotein (P-gp) inhibitor, cepharanthine (a biscoclaurine alkaloid). Compared with the parent HL60 cells, the HL60/DOX cells were 13.0-fold more resistant to DOX and showed multidrug-resistant (MDR) phenotype characterized by 4.6-fold, 2.3-fold, and 5.7-fold cross-resistance to vincristine, pirarubicin, and etoposide, respectively, but no cross-resistance to alkylating agent, cisplatin. Immunocytochemical analyses using the specific monoclonal antibody, MRPr1, and quantitative analyses using a competitive reverse transcription-polymerase chain reaction (CRT-PCR) confirmed overexpression of MRP gene products (about 8-fold determined by CRT-PCR) in this resistant clone. The P-gp expression was not detectable by the monoclonal antibody, C219, in the HL60/DOX cells, and that was consistent with extremely low levels of mdr1 mRNA expression determined by CRT-PCR in this clone. Drug accumulation and efflux studies demonstrated the significantly increased efflux rate of DOX compared to the parent HL60 cells. This enhancement of DOX efflux was reversed by the addition of 10 microM verapamil. To investigate the additional underlying mechanisms contributing to MDR phenotype in the HL60/DOX cells, the levels of DNA topoisomerases (Topo) including Topo I, Topo IIalpha, and Topo IIbeta, and gamma-glutamylcystein synthetase (y-GCS) expression were determined using CRT-PCR techniques. Normal expression of each enzyme at the transcriptional level was demonstrated in this resistant clone. Southern blot analysis of the gene organization in the HL60/DOX cells revealed the amplification of MRP gene. These results indicate that alteration of the drug accumulation from enhanced efflux appears to be a major mechanism(s) of MDR phenotype and attributable to high levels of MRP expression in the HL60/DOX cells. Overexpression of MRP in this clone is regulated by the genomic amplification of DNA and increased levels of the MRP mRNA, independently with the normal expression of Topo I, Topo IIalpha, Topo IIbeta, or gamma-GCS.

Abstract
Flow cytometry was used to examine the effect of hydrodynamic forces in a stirred tank bioreactor on the CD13 and CD33 receptor surface content of HL60 (human promyelocytic leukemia) cells. A step increase in agitation rate from 80 to 400 rpm reduced the HL60 cell apparent growth rate and increased the CD13 receptor surface content per cell, on average, by 95%. In contrast, this step increase in agitation rate to 400 rpm decreased the CD33 receptor surface content per cell, on average, by 10%. The protective effects of 0.1% Methocel A15LV, polyethylene glycol (PEG), and polyvinyl alcohol (PVA) on CD13 and CD33 receptor surface content were examined under agitation at 300 rpm in parallel 2 L bioreactor runs. The average CD33 receptor surface content was unaffected by the presence of Methocel A15LV or PEG, while PVA had a slight protective effect. In contrast, in terms of CD13 receptor content, HL60 cells agitated at 300 rpm with Methocel A15LV, PEG, or PVA behaved like cells agitated at 80 rpm with no media additives (McDowell and Papoutsakis, 1998). That is, Methocel A15LV, PEG, and PVA prevented the transduction of mechanical forces which affect CD13 cell content. HL60 cells cultured with 0.1% A15LV, PEG or PVA under conditions of mild agitation (60 rpm) in spinner flasks exhibited glucose consumption and lactate production rates that were approximately 20% lower than values of cultures containing no additive. Under conditions of agitation at 300 rpm in the 2 L bioreactor, the presence of A15LV, PEG, and PVA reduced the HL60 glucose consumption and lactate production rates by approximately 50%. Thus, media additives can dramatically reduce lactate accumulation in agitated bioreactors due to cell growth, in addition to providing protection from cellular injury.

Abstract
Flow cytometry and Northern blotting were used to examine the effects of hydrodynamic forces in stirred tank bioreactors on CD13 receptor surface content and mRNA levels of HL60 (human promyelocytic leukemia) cells. A step increase in agitation rate from 80 to 300 or 400 rpm reduced the apparent HL60 growth rate in a dose-dependent manner. This step increase in agitation rate (to 300 or 400 rpm) also increased the CD13 receptor surface content on averge by 30% and 100%, respectively. This increase in CD13 receptor surface content was correlated with a 10% and a 60% increase in CD13 mRNA levels. We also observed a significant and very reproducible drop in CD13 expression over the course of a batch bioreactor run (80 rpm). Although we have no explanation for this, we show that the decrease in CD13 receptor surface content can be (at least partially, if not fully) explained by the corresponding decrease in CD13 mRNA. HL60 cell cultures agitated at 300 and 400 rpm exhibited glucose consumption and lactate production rates that were approximately 40% and 90% greater than values of the cultures agitated at 80 rpm. The physiological and practical implications of these results are discussed.

Abstract
CD14 is a pattern recognition receptor involved in the interaction with multiple ligands, including LPS from gram-negative bacteria and lipoarabinomannan (LAM) from mycobacteria. While the interactions between LPS and soluble CD14 (sCD14) have been analyzed in detail, LAM/CD14 interactions remain uncharacterized due to the lack of suitable functional assays. We describe herein a novel bioassay for the analysis of CD14/ligand interactions. CD14-negative myeloid HL-60 cells up-regulate endogenous CD14 gene expression when stimulated with LPS in the presence of recombinant soluble CD14(1-348). Using the HL-60 bioassay, we showed that sCD14(1-348) confers responsiveness not only to LPS, but also to LAM. The response to LAM, but not that to LPS, was highly dependent on LPS binding protein (LBP). The N-terminal half of CD14 was sufficient to mediate HL-60 responses to LAM, since HL-60 cells responded with similar efficiency when stimulated with LAM and LBP in the presence of sCD14(1-348) or sCD14(1-152). Thus, the N-terminal 152 amino acids of CD14 contain the site(s) involved in the interaction with LAM and LBP, as well as the residues required for LAM-dependent CD14 signaling.

Abstract
The receptor for urokinase plasminogen activator (uPAR; CD87) is a 50- to 65-kDa glycosylphosphatidylinositol (GPI)-anchored glycoprotein expressed by leukocytes and tumor cells where it facilitates uPA-dependent, plasmin-mediated pericellular proteolysis during cellular invasion. Because uPAR is inducibly shed into culture supernatants and human body fluids, we tested the hypothesis that soluble uPAR (suPAR) can bind to the plasma membrane of hematopoietic cells where it might modulate their invasive phenotype. As measured by flow cytometry, recombinant biotinylated-suPAR (B-suPAR) bound in a specific fashion to THP-1 leukemia cells and blood PMNs and monocytes (but not to lymphocytes). B-suPAR also demonstrated specific binding to a variety of leukemic lines, including cells that are positive or negative for membrane uPAR expression. Binding of B-suPAR to THP-1 cells was enhanced four- to sevenfold by 24-h exposure of cells to PMA or by co-incubation with uPA ligand (but not its isolated catalytic and binding fragments). Conversely, binding of B-suPAR to PMNs was unaffected by brief exposure to fMLP, and was inhibited by co-incubation with uPA. B-suPAR biding to PMA-differentiated THP-1 cells in the presence of uPA was further enhanced by acid washing (removing endogenous uPA) but was partially inhibited by treatment of cells with trypsin. Pretreatment of PMA-differentiated THP-1 cells and unstimulated PMNs with soluble sugars, calcium chelators, and antibodies specific for integrins or extracellular matrix proteins failed to consistently block the binding of B-suPAR. Whereas the binding of suPAR did not measurably affect cell-associated plasmin activation, suPAR did competitively inhibit the binding of exogenous uPA to membrane-associated uPAR. These observations support the hypothesis that suPAR can bind specifically to trypsin-sensitive receptors expressed by certain normal and neoplastic hematopoietic cells where its binding is variably influenced by uPA ligand.

Abstract
Pharmaceutical preparations of normal human immunoglobulin (IgG) are known to contain high-avidity and neutralizing antibodies (Ab) to the cytokines interleukin (IL)-1alpha, IL-6, and interferon (IFN)alpha. To test for other cytokine Ab, 23 batches of IgG were tested for saturable binding to eight 125I-labeled recombinant cytokines. All batches bound granulocyte-macrophage colony-stimulating factor (GM-CSF) with high avidity (Kav approximately 10 pmol/L) and capacities of up to 5 mumol GM-CSF/mol IgG. Only 1 of 15 batches bound IL-5, also with high avidity, whereas 13 of 15 batches bound to IL-10 but with lower capacities and avidities. None of the IgG preparations bound IL-1 receptor antagonist (IL-1ra), IL-2, IL-3, IL-4, or G-CSF. Cross-binding and absorption analyses revealed identical or slightly stronger binding of recombinant GM-CSF, IL-5, and IL-10 than their native counterparts. GM-CSF-IgG complexes did not bind to cellular GM-CSF receptors, but Fc-dependent binding occurred to blood polymorphonuclear cells. Increased binding of GM-CSF to patient sera correlated positively with the binding capacities of infused IgG preparations. Patient and normal sera did not interfere with the binding of Ab to GM-CSF. From these and previous experiments, we conclude that pools of normal human IgG contain variable amounts of specific and high-avidity Ab to some cytokines, and that Ab to GM-CSF constitute a dominant anti-cytokine activity in these preparations. These Ab are available for reaction in vivo following IgG therapy.

Abstract
BACKGROUND The goal of differentiation therapy is to induce cancer cells to stop proliferating and to express characteristics of normal cells. Vitamin D analogues, such as the deltanoids, are being evaluated as differentiation agents in the treatment of several human cancers (e.g., myeloid leukemias); however, these compounds have a tendency to produce hypercalcemia in patients receiving therapy. A combination of a differentiation-inducing deltanoid with a compound that blocks entry of calcium into cells (e.g., ketoconazole) may offer a new approach to differentiation therapy and address the problem of hypercalcemia. We investigated whether various ketoconazole-deltanoid combinations would alter cellular differentiation or intracellular calcium homeostasis in comparison with deltanoids used alone. METHODS Cultured human leukemia HL60 cells were treated with ketoconazole-deltanoid combinations. Markers of differentiation (expression of CD11b and CD14 antigens and of non-specific esterase) were measured by flow cytometry and cytochemistry; cell cycle distribution was measured by flow cytometry of propidium iodide-stained cells. Expression of differentiation-related genes was assessed by northern blotting and immunoblotting, and changes in intracellular calcium homeostasis were monitored by fluorescence analysis of fura-2-containing cells. RESULTS Ketoconazole strongly potentiated the differentiating activity of the deltanoids, which exhibited low potency when used alone. Ketoconazole-deltanoid combinations had little effect on HL60 cell-cycle distribution, although the cells did stop proliferating and they differentiated. Ketoconazole-deltanoid combinations produced only minor changes in intracellular calcium homeostasis compared with changes produced by 1,25-dihydroxyvitamin D3, either alone or in combination with ketoconazole. CONCLUSION These results suggest that ketoconazole may be useful in combination with vitamin D analogues in the differentiation therapy for myeloid leukemias.

Abstract
Host protection against pneumococcal disease i primarily mediated by phagocytosis. We developed and standardized an opsonophagocytic assay using HL-60 cells (human promyelocytic leukemia cells). Fifty-five serum samples were analyzed for the presence of functional antibody against seven pneumococcal serogroups or serotypes (4, 6B, 9V, 14, 18C, 19F, and 23F) by using differentiated HL-60 cells (granulocytes) and peripheral blood leukocytes (PBLs). Six of the 55 serum samples were from unvaccinated adult volunteers, 31 serum samples were from adults who received one dose of the 14-valent or the 23-valent polysaccharide vaccine, and 18 serum samples were from 16-month-old infants who received four doses of an investigational 7-valent polysaccharide-protein conjugate vaccine. The results of an opsonophagocytic assay with HL-60 cells correlated highly with those of an assay with PBLs as effector cells (median r for seven serotypes = 0.87: P < 0.01). Opsonophagocytic titers were compared with the immunoglobulin G antibody concentrations determined by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA). The r values for serogroups or serotypes 4, 6B, 9V, 14, 18C, 19F, and 23F were 0.61, 0.60, 0.67 0.90, 0.61, 0.39, and 0.57, respectively, when HL-60 cells were used as effector cells and 0.56, 0.47, 0.61, 0.90, 0.71, 0.31, and 0.62, respectively, when PBLs were used. The assay requires small amounts of serum (40 microliters per serotype), making this test suitable for assaying infant sera. Culturable cells aid in assay standardization and likely reduce donor-to-donor variability. This standardized assay, in combination with the standardized ELISA, can be used to evaluate current and developing pneumococcal vaccines, in which functional opsonophagocytic antibody activity may correlate with protection against pneumococcal disease.

Abstract
A new monoclonal antibody (TU-1) directed against the Gal alpha 1-4Gal beta 1-4Glc residue of the Gb3Cer/CD77 antigen was prepared by the hybridoma technique following immunization of mice with an emulsion composed of monophosphoryl lipid A, trehalose dimycolate, and Gb3Cer isolated from porcine erythrocytes. TU-1 showed reactivity towards Gb3Cer and lyso-Gb3Cer(Gal alpha 1-4Gal beta 1-4Glc beta 1-1'Sph), although the reactivity towards lyso-Gb3Cer was about 10-fold lower than that to Gb3Cer. But it did not react with other structurally-related glycolipids, such as LacCer (Gal beta 1-4Glc beta 1-1'Cer), Gg3Cer, Gg4Cer, Gb4Cer (GalNAc beta 1-3Gal alpha 1-4Gal beta 1-4Glc beta 1-1'Cer), galactosylparagloboside (Gal alpha 1-3Gal beta 1-4GlcNAc beta 1-3Gal beta 1-4Glc beta 1-1'Cer), sulfatide (HSO3-3Gal beta 1-1'Cer), other gangliosides (GM3, GM2, GM1a, GD1a and GT1b), or P1 antigen (Gal alpha 1-4Gal beta 1-4GlcNAc beta 1-3Gal beta 1-4Glc beta 1-1'Cer) among neutral glycolipids prepared from P1 phenotype red blood cells. Furthermore, TU-1 reacted with viable lymphoma cells, such as human Burkitt lymphoma cell line, Daudi, and Epstein-Barr virus (EBV)-transformed B cells by the immunofluorescence method, and also with germinal centre B cells in human tonsil and vessel endothelial cells in human thymus histochemically. These results indicate that TU-1 is a monoclonal antibody directed against Gb3Cer/CD77 antigen and can be utilized as a diagnostic reagent for Burkitt's lymphoma and also for detection of the blood group Pk antigen in glycolipid extracts of erythrocytes.

Abstract
Employing a new procedure, we established many monoclonal antibodies (mAbs) which inhibit E- or P-selectin-dependent cell adhesion. One of these mAbs is capable of staining selectin in paraffin-embedded histological sections. The procedure is based on immunization of BALB/c mice with irradiated mouse myeloma NS-1 cells (syngeneic HAT-sensitive fusion partner cells) transfected with cDNA encoding human E- or P-selectin. Resulting NS-1 transfectant cells permanently express human E- or P-selectin as immunogen. The mAbs are useful for detecting selectins by flow cytometric and immunohistological methods, and for inhibiting selectin-dependent adhesion in experimental models. In contrast, the majority of anti-selectin mAbs previously established do not have these capabilities.

Abstract
Studies toward the biologic and molecular understanding of programmed cell death have been stimulated by the recent identification of genes and their products that regulate apoptosis. A panel of mAbs has been raised against dying cells in the present study by immunizing mice with apoptotic Jurkat cells. One of these Abs, anti-7A6, was found to react with apoptotic cells. Using ELISA or flow cytometry, little reactivity of anti-7A6 was observed in normal or digitonin-permeabilized human peripheral blood lymphocytes and a number of hemopoietic cell lines tested. The Ab, however, strongly reacted with these cells when they were induced to undergo apoptosis by irradiation or treatment with apoptosis-inducing agents. Cell sorting and DNA fragmentation experiments revealed that 7A6-positive cells, but not 7A6-negative cells, had apparent DNA fragments characteristic of cells undergoing apoptosis. By immunoblot, under reducing conditions, anti-7A6 detected a 38-kDa protein band in the cell lysates prepared from apoptotic cells. Immunoelectron microscopy showed the 7A6 Ag to be localized to the membrane of mitochondria in apoptotic Jurkat cells. These results indicate that anti-7A6 defines a novel epitope on the mitochondrial membrane protein that appears to be exposed on cells undergoing apoptosis, suggesting that the 7A6 molecule may be involved in the molecular cascade of apoptotic cell death.

Abstract
There has been considerable interest and controversy over the potential clinical role of combination antiretroviral therapy, primarily in the treatment of patients with established HIV infection. In order to model the hematologic toxicity of high-dose combination antiretroviral therapy, the HL60 myeloid leukemia cell line was exposed to zidovudine, dideoxycytidine and/or didanosine. The results suggest that the myelotoxicity of high-dose combination antiretroviral therapy may be controlled by using very brief periods of drug exposure. Brief intense antiretroviral therapy may offer a useful approach, particularly in the treatment of patients with AIDS-related neoplasms who are also receiving myelotoxic antineoplastic drugs.

Abstract
1,25-Dihydroxyvitamin D3 [1,25-(OH)2D3] induces monocytic differentiation of the HL-60 leukemic cell line. The present study investigated whether and to what extent this differentiation resembles the normal maturation of monocytic cells in the bone marrow. Multidimensional flow cytometry was used to identify changes in antigen expression that occur in normal bone marrow cells at distinct stages of monocytic and granulocytic maturation. HL-60 cells were analyzed in the same manner after exposure to 1,25-(OH)2D3 to determine whether the hormone induces a similar sequence of phenotypic changes. In the leukemic cells, monocytic features were sequentially induced and several maturational steps could be resolved. CD14, CD32, CD53, CD15, CDw65, CD29, CD16, and CD66b were modulated in 1,25-(OH)2D3-induced HL-60 cells as in the normal monocytic maturational pathway. Differences were observed for CD15s and CDw17. The expression pattern of CD44 during differentiation of HL-60 cells resembled that in granulocytic cells. The results therefore suggest that 1,25-(OH)2D3 induces a differentiation program in HL-60 cells that in many ways resembles that of normal monocytic cells in the bone marrow but also carries elements of the granulocytic pathway.

Abstract
A human acute myeloid leukemia model has been developed by i.v. transplantation of HL-60 myeloid leukemia cells into Swiss nude mice pretreated with cyclophosphamide. HL-60 cells disseminated into hematopoietic tissues as determined by flow cytometric analysis, fluorescence microscopy, fluorescence in situ hybridization analysis, and colony formation assay. Passive immunotherapy using murine anti-CD13 (F23) or anti-CD33 (M195) mAbs was able to eliminate completely the HL-60 cells in the mice, as determined by fluorescence in situ hybridization analysis, colony formation assay, and culture of mouse blood and tissue cells in vitro. Although F23 is able to inhibit completely CD13/aminopeptidase N enzymatic activity, actinonin, another potent inhibitor of CD13/aminopeptidase N, was not active as an antileukemic agent. HL-60 cell surface antigens, including CD13 (aminopeptidase N) and CD33 (p67), down-regulated over time, and murine anti-HL-60 antibody was generated while the cells grew in the mice. This response was suppressed by cyclophosphamide. These data suggest that leukemia cell elimination was antibody mediated.

Abstract
The present study reports the identification and partial characterization of a novel antigen with M(r) 100,000 by a monoclonal antibody (D29A8) that was obtained by immunizing BALB/c mice with nuclei of HL-60 cells. D29A8 detected mainly a nucleolar macromolecule with M(r) 100,000 (p100). On the other hand, when HL-60 cells were induced to differentiate either into a granulocytic or monocytic pathway, the antibody detected mainly a cytoplasmic macromolecule with M(r) 95,000 (p95). Since two subtypes of the antigen (p100 and p95) appear to be present in the same cells that differ in the stage of cell differentiation, the antigen may play an important role in cellular differentiation.
