HL-60 human promyelocytic leukocytes express G protein-coupled P2U-purinergic nucleotide receptors (P2UR or P2Y2R) that activate inositol phospholipid hydrolysis and Ca24 mobilization in response to ATP or UTP. We examined the expression of functional P2UR and P2UR mRNA levels during in vitro differentiation of HL-60 cells by dibutyryl-cAMP (Bt2cAMP), which induces a granulocyte/neutrophil phenotype, or by phorbol-12-myristate-13-acetate (PMA), which induces a monocyte/macrophage phenotype. Both P2UR function and P2UR mRNA levels were only modestly attenuated during granulocytic differentiation by Bt2cAMP. In contrast, P2UR function, as assayed by either Ca2+ mobilization or inositol trisphosphate generation, was greatly reduced in PMA-differentiated cells. This inhibition of P2UR function was strongly correlated with PMA-induced decreases in P2UR mRNA levels, as assayed by Northern blot analysis or reverse transcription-polymerase chain reaction-based quantification. Although PMA induced an early, transient up-regulation of P2UR mRNA, this was rapidly followed by a sustained decrease in P2UR mRNA to a level 5-10-fold lower than that in undifferentiated HL-60 cells. The half-life of the P2UR transcript in HL-60 cells was approximately 60 min, and this was not affected by acute exposure (< or = 4 hr) to Bt2cAMP or PMA. PMA down-regulated P2UR mRNA in THP-1 monocytes and HL-60 granulocytes but not in A431 human epithelial cells or human keratinocytes. P2UR mRNA was also down-regulated in THP-1 monocytes differentiated into inflammatory macrophages by gamma-interferon and endotoxin. These data indicate that myeloid leukocytes possess tissue-specific mechanisms for the rapid modulation of P2UR expression and function during differentiation and inflammatory activation. |
