[SP600125-induced polyploidization of megakaryocytic leukemia cell lines by ribosomal protein S6 kinase 1 depends on the degree of cell differentiation].
Objective To investigate regulatory role of ribosomal protein S6 kinase 1 (S6K1) in the polyploidization of different megakaryocytic leukemia cell lines at the different differentiation stages. Methods Megakaryocytic leukemia cell lines (Dami, Meg-01 and HEL cells) were induced towards polyploidization by SP600125, a c-Jun N-terminal kinase (JNK) inhibitor. The SP600125-inducing process was blocked by H-89, a cAMP-dependent protein kinase (PKA) inhibitor. The phenotype (CD41a, CD42a and CD42b) and DNA ploidy were detected by flow cytometry. The expression and phosphorylation of S6K1 and related proteins were detected by Western blotting. Results SP600125 induced polyploidization and increased the phosphorylation of eukaryotic initiation factor 4E binding protein 1 (4E-BP1) in Dami, Meg-01 and HEL cells. However, the effect of SP600125 on polyploidization of the three cell lines was different, with the strongest effect on Dami cells and the weakest on Meg-01 cells. Moreover, SP600125 increased the phosphorylation of S6K1 Thr421/Ser424 and decreased the phosphorylation of Thr389 in Dami cells. However, it only increased the phosphorylation of Thr389 in HEL cells and had no effect on the phosphorylation of S6K1 in Meg-01 cells. Interestingly, H-89 only partially blocked the polyploidization of Dami cells, although it decreased the phosphorylation of 4E-BP1 in all SP600125-induced three cell lines. Noticeably, H-89 decreased the phosphorylation of S6K1 Thr421/Ser424 and increased the phosphorylation of Thr389 in Dami cells. However, H-89 had no effect on the phosphorylation of Thr421/Ser424, although it increased the phosphorylation of Thr389 in Meg-01 and HEL cells. Phenotypic analysis showed that the three cell lines were at different levels of differentiation in megakaryocytic lineage, with the highest differentiation in Dami and the lowest in Meg-01 cells. Conclusion SP600125-induced polyploidization of megakaryocytic leukemia cell lines is dependent on the effect of SP600125 on phosphorylation of S6K1 in cell lines at the different differentiation stages.

Evidence for a novel thrombopoietin signalling event: activation of protein kinase A in human megakaryoblastic CMK cells.
Thrombopoietin (TPO) plays a crucial role in megakaryocyte development. TPO signalling, which is mediated by its receptor Mpl, includes Janus kinase, (JAK) signal transducer and activator of transcription (STAT) and Shc/Ras/mitogen-activated protein kinase (MAPK) pathways. The precise nature of these signalling routes has not been clarified in detail up until now. We investigated the effect of TPO on activation of cAMP-dependent protein kinase (PKA) and its involvement in MAPK signalling in human megakaryoblastic leukaemia CMK cells. For estimation of PKA activity, phosphorylation of a PKA-specific peptide substrate was assayed in CMK cell lysates. Since activation of PKA is associated with translocation of its catalytic subunit alpha (C-PKA) into the cell nucleus, Western blot analysis of nuclear fractions with an anti-C-PKA antibody was additionally performed. The activation of TPO-induced MAPK activation and the effect of the PKA inhibitor H-89 was measured using immunoblotting with a monoclonal anti-pERK antibody. TPO enhanced cAMP and induced activation of PKA in CMK cells. In addition, H-89 partly blocked TPO-induced MAPK activation in CMK cells. Our results indicate a novel TPO-triggered signalling event, activation of the cAMP/PKA pathway in human megakaryoblastic CMK cells. This signal transduction route seems to be involved in TPO-induced MAPK signaling.
