Comparative assessment of the activity of beta-carotene, retinoyl-beta-D-glucuronide and retinoic acid on growth and differentiation of a human promyelocytic leukemia cell line HL-60.

    We compared the ability of all-transretinoic acid (RA), all-trans-retinoyl-beta-D-glucuronide (RAGL), and all-trans-beta-carotene (BC) to inhibit growth and to induce differentiation of the human promyelocytic leukemia cell line HL-60 into morphologically mature granulocytes. BC was made water-soluble by the solutol-solvent-system. RA (1 microM) could induce differentiation of 85% of the HL-60 cells after a total incubation time of 180 hours, RAGL (5 microM) induced 64% of the cells, whereas 33% of the HL-60 cells were differentiated after incubation with BC (10 microM), which was determined by assessing cell functional capacity to reduce nitroblue tetrazolium dye in response to phorbolesters. The absence of RA in RAG and BC treated cells gives strong evidence that RAG and BC exert intrinsic biological effects.
