ABSTRACT
HL-60 cells (human promyelocytic leukemia cells) differentiate into the monocyte/macrophage like cells that die spontaneously by apoptosis when treated with 12-O-tetradecanoylphorbol-13-acetate (TPA). It is known that inhibitors of apoptosis proteins (IAP) bind to and inhibit caspase 3, 7, 9 activity and the induction of apoptosis. In this study, we examined the expression of IAP genes during TPA induced differentiation of HL-60 cells. During the differentiation, HIAP-1, HIAP-2, and XIAP expressions were decreased in protein levels. The pan-caspase inhibitor z-VAD-fmk blocked the decrease of HIAP-1 and HIAP-2, which indicates HIAP-1 and HIAP-2 could be caspase substrates. These findings suggest that the decrease of IAP proteins is related to the induction of apoptosis that is associated with TPA- induced HL-60 cell differentiation.
