Alkaline phosphatase activity during sphinganine potentiation of retinoic acid-induced differentiation of human promyelocytic leukemia cell line, HL-60.

Abstract:

:Sphinganine (SP) pre-treatment potentiated the retinoic acid (RA)-induced (4-96h exposures) differentiation and increase of alkaline phosphatase (ALP) activity. A higher percentage of SP pre-treated cells in RA exposures resembled mature myelocytes or granulocytes; greater increase in ALP activity was observed. In cells exposed to RA alone for only a period of 24h, the ALP activity could still increase and reach a similar maximum ALP activity (8.5-10.0 units/mg protein) at 48h as it was under continuous RA treatment. In all cells with longer exposures (24-96h) to RA, SP pre-treatment increased ALP activity to more or less the same higher maximum (14.0-15.5 units/mg protein). SP, added 24h before or concomitantly, but not 24 nor 48h after the addition of RA, could potentiate the RA-induced differentiation and increase of ALP activity.

  • Regulatory mechanisms of choline production.

    abstract::This paper gives a short account of the mechanisms regulating choline production. Although choline is absorbed from the GI tract and biosynthesized in the liver, its subsequent metabolism to choline esters and phospholipids seems to dominate in importance as to its regulatory role in maintaining a constant source of f...
