We have studied the actions of the protein phosphatase inhibitor okadaic acid (OA) on the expression of bcl-2 in HL60 human leukemia cells. OA induced downregulation of bcl-2 mRNA and protein prior to the induction of apoptosis. Downregulation of bcl-2 mRNA levels did not result from actions of OA on the bcl-2 upstream negative response element. Nuclear run-off analyses confirmed that OA did not affect bcl-2 gene transcription. However, OA caused a rapid increase in the rate of degradation of bcl-2 mRNA. Therefore, OA induces down-regulation of bcl-2 expression via destabilization of its transcript. The constitutive action of an OA-sensitive protein phosphatase may therefore maintain HL60 cell survival by blocking bcl-2 mRNA degradation.

D012333 RNA, Messenger RNA sequences that serve as templates for protein synthesis. Bacterial mRNAs are generally primary transcripts in that they do not require post-transcriptional processing. Eukaryotic mRNA is synthesized in the nucleus and must be exported to the cytoplasm for translation. Most eukaryotic mRNAs have a sequence of polyadenylic acid at the 3' end, referred to as the poly(A) tail. The function of this tail is not known for certain, but it may play a role in the export of mature mRNA from the nucleus as well as in helping stabilize some mRNA molecules by retarding their degradation in the cytoplasm.

D017209 Apoptosis A regulated cell death mechanism characterized by distinctive morphologic changes in the nucleus and cytoplasm, including the endonucleolytic cleavage of genomic DNA, at regularly spaced, internucleosomal sites, i.e., DNA FRAGMENTATION. It is genetically programmed and serves as a balance to mitosis in regulating the size of animal tissues and in mediating pathologic processes associated with tumor growth.

D018922 HL-60 Cells A promyelocytic cell line derived from a patient with ACUTE PROMYELOCYTIC LEUKEMIA. HL-60 cells lack specific markers for LYMPHOID CELLS but express surface receptors for FC FRAGMENTS and COMPLEMENT SYSTEM PROTEINS. They also exhibit phagocytic activity and responsiveness to chemotactic stimuli.
