Our previous studies demonstrated that 12-O-tetradecanoylphorbol-13-acetate (TPA) had pharmacological activity for the treatment of myeloid leukemia patients. In the present study, we investigated the effects of TPA alone or in combination with capsaicin (8-methyl-N-vanillyl-6-nonenamide) on growth and differentiation in myeloid leukemia HL-60 cells and in a TPA-resistant HL-60 variant cell line termed HL-525. Treatment of HL-60 cells with TPA (0.16-1.6 nM) for 48 h resulted in concentration-dependent growth inhibition and cell differentiation (via the macrophage pathway). Capsaicin (5-50 microM) inhibited the growth of HL-60 cells in a concentration-dependent manner. Treatment of HL-60 cells with capsaicin alone only resulted in a small increase in the number of differentiated cells but treatment of the cells with TPA in combination with capsaicin synergistically increased differentiation. Moreover, inhibitors of protein kinase C (PKC), 7-hydroxystaurosporin (UCN-01; 100 nM) and chelerythrine (0.5 microM), significantly decreased HL-60 cell differentiation induced by the combination of TPA and capsaicin. These results suggest that PKC may be involved in HL-60 cell differentiation induced by TPA in combination with capsaicin. Capsaicin alone caused a very small increase in differentiation in the TPA-resistant HL-525 cells. However, treatment of HL-525 cells with combinations of TPA (0.16 nM) and capsaicin (10-50 microM) caused a strong synergistic increase in differentiation. Results from the present study suggest that a combination of TPA and capsaicin may improve the therapeutic efficacy of TPA and overcome resistance to TPA in some myeloid leukemia patients.

D008264 Macrophages The relatively long-lived phagocytic cell of mammalian tissues that are derived from blood MONOCYTES. Main types are PERITONEAL MACROPHAGES; ALVEOLAR MACROPHAGES; HISTIOCYTES; KUPFFER CELLS of the liver; and OSTEOCLASTS. They may further differentiate within chronic inflammatory lesions to EPITHELIOID CELLS or may fuse to form FOREIGN BODY GIANT CELLS or LANGHANS GIANT CELLS.

D010617 Phenanthridines
D011493 Protein Kinase C An serine-threonine protein kinase that requires the presence of physiological concentrations of CALCIUM and membrane PHOSPHOLIPIDS. The additional presence of DIACYLGLYCEROLS markedly increases its sensitivity to both calcium and phospholipids. The sensitivity of the enzyme can also be increased by PHORBOL ESTERS and it is believed that protein kinase C is the receptor protein of tumor-promoting phorbol esters.
