A protein complex expressed during terminal differentiation of monomyelocytic cells is an inhibitor of cell growth

A protein complex (PC) composed of the MRP8 and MRP14 proteins has previously been shown to be a specific inhibitor of casein kinase I and II. This PC is expressed during the late stages of terminal differentiation induced in human promyelocytic HL-60 leukemia cells by 1 alpha,25-dihydroxyvitamin D3 and in human monocytic THP-1 leukemia cells by phorbol 12-myristate 13-acetate. This expression is associated with terminal cell differentiation because incubation of HL-60 cells with an agent or condition that causes suppression of growth but not induction of differentiation does not result in expression of the PC. At concentrations of 5-15 nM, the purified PC inhibited the growth of HL-60 cells and THP-1 cells, as well as other cell types belonging to different cell lineages. This growth inhibition was preceded by a reduction in [32P]phosphate incorporation and, at the higher PC concentrations, was associated with a reduction in [3H]thymidine, [3H]uridine, and [32S]methionine incorporation. The specific expression pattern and growth-inhibitory character of the PC suggests that the complex may have a role in suppressing cell growth during monomyelocytic terminal differentiation induced by specific chemical stimuli and during physiological and pathological events associated with monomyelocytic cell functions.
