Abstract
H-toxin of Clostridium septicum potentiated dimethyl sulfoxide (DMSO)-induced differentiation of human promyelocytic leukemia HL-60 cells which were monitored by nuclear morphology and production of oxidative radicals. But, H-toxin did not induce differentiation of HL-60 cells in the absence of DMSO. These phenomena were not observed by staphylococcal leukocidin, a cytotoxin affecting to HL-60 cells. In HL-60 cells, ADP-ribosylation of 118, 93, 75 and 58 kDa membrane proteins was observed, but the ADP-ribosylation was not detected either in differentiated HL-60 cells by DMSO or in normal polymorphonuclear leukocytes of human. When the membranes of HL-60 cells were incubated with H-toxin, ADP-ribosylation of the membrane proteins was inhibited. Such suppressive effects on ADP-ribosylation were not observed by DMSO or staphylococcal leukocidin. These data suggest that inhibition of the ADP-ribosylation by H-toxin may play an important role in potentiation of DMSO-induced differentiation of HL-60 cells.
