Abstract
Differentiation therapy of cancer is being explored as a potential modality for treatment of myeloid leukemia, and derivatives of vitamin D are gaining prominence as agents for this form of therapy. Cyclooxygenase (COX) inhibitors have been reported to enhance 1,25-dihydroxyvitamin D(3) (1,25D)-induced monocytic differentiation of promyeloblastic HL60 cells, but the mechanisms of this effect are not fully elucidated, and whether this potentiation can occur in other types of myeloid leukemia is not known. We found that combination treatment with 1,25D and non-specific COX inhibitors acetyl salicylic acid (ASA) or indomethacin can robustly potentiate differentiation of other types of human leukemia cells, i.e., U937, THP-1, and that ASA +/- 1,25D is effective in primary AML cultures. Increased cell differentiation is paralleled by arrest of the cells in the G(1) phase of the cell cycle, and by increased phosphorylation of Raf1 and p90RSK1 proteins. However, there is no evidence that this increase in phosphorylation of Raf1 is transmitted through the ERK module of the MAPK signaling cascade. Transfection of small interfering (si) RNA to Raf1 decreased differentiation of U937 cells induced by a combination of ASA or indomethacin wi...Continue Reading
