  • Title: Induction of myeloid differentiation of HL-60 cells with naphthalene sulfonamide calmodulin antagonists.
    Author: Veigl ML, Sedwick WD, Niedel J, Branch ME.
    Journal: Cancer Res; 1986 May; 46(5):2300-5. PubMed ID: 3008985.
    Abstract:
    The naphthalene sulfonamide calmodulin antagonists, N-(6-aminohexyl)-5-chloro-1-naphthalenesulfonamide and N-(4-aminobutyl)-5-chloro-2-naphthalenesulfonamide, both induce limited myeloid differentiation of the human promyelocytic cell line, HL-60. In addition, these inhibitors augment the differentiation observed when HL-60 cells are induced with retinoic acid, dimethyl sulfoxide, or dibutyryl cyclic adenosine monophosphate. The dose-response curve for HL-60 differentiation was consistent with the published 50% inhibitory dose for inhibition of calmodulin-activated phosphodiesterase and with the calmodulin drug-binding potential of N-(6-aminohexyl)-5-chloro-1-naphthalenesulfonamide and N-(4-aminobutyl)-5-chloro-2-naphthalenesulfonamide and their less active congeners, N-(6-aminohexyl)-1-naphthalenesulfonamide and N-(4-aminobutyl)-2-naphthalenesulfonamide. These effects, of the naphthalene sulfonamide calmodulin antagonists, are consistent with a regulatory role for calmodulin in cell differentiation, but parallel effects on protein kinase C cannot be excluded.
