Association of phorbol ester-induced hyperphosphorylation and reversible regulation of transferrin membrane receptors in HL60 cells.

Abstract

Phorbol diesters are tumor-promoting agents that cause differentiation of HL60 human leukemic cells and concomitantly alter surface transferrin-receptor expression [Rovera, G., Ferreo, D., Pagliardi, G. L., Vartikar, J., Pessano, S., Bottero, L., Abraham, S. & Lebman, D. (1982) Ann. N.Y. Acad. Sci. 397, 211-220]. Transferrin-receptor regulation is shown here to result from a rapid and reversible internalization process that is temporally associated with reversible increased phosphorylation (hyperphosphorylation) of the transferrin receptor. Such a reversible mechanism involving regulation of these surface proteins could result in the rapid generation of an early signal for HL60 cellular differentiation.
