RT Journal Article SR Electronic A1 Vrba, Jiří A1 Modrianský, Martin T1 N-FORMYL-MET-LEU-PHE-INDUCED OXIDATIVE BURST IN DMSO-DIFFERENTIATED HL-60 CELLS REQUIRES ACTIVE HSP90, BUT NOT INTACT MICROTUBULES JF Biomedical papers YR 2004 VO 148 IS 2 SP 141 OP 144 DO 10.5507/bp.2004.025 UL https://biomed.papers.upol.cz/artkey/bio-200402-0006.php AB In this study we examined whether microtubules and heat shock protein 90 (Hsp90) are involved in phorbol myristate acetate (PMA) and N-formyl-Met-Leu-Phe (fMLP)-induced oxidative burst in DMSO-differentiated HL-60 cells. Our results showed that microtubule interfering agents, paclitaxel (1-5 µM), colchicine (1-100 µM), nocodazole (1-20 µM), and vincristine (1-50 µM), did not affect either PMA or fMLP-induced oxidative burst. In contrast, radicicol, an inhibitor of Hsp90, inhibited fMLP-induced oxidative burst in time and concentration-dependent manner where IC50 value for 30 min pre-incubation was 16.5 ± 3.5 µM radicicol. We conclude that both PMA and fMLP-induced oxidative burst in DMSO-differentiated HL-60 cells is microtubule-independent while the latter requires Hsp90 activity.
