ResumoPhosphoinositide 3-kinase (PI 3-K) activity increases in HL-60 cells that are induced to granulocytic differentiation by all-trans-retinoic acid. Immunochemical and immunocytochemical analyses by confocal microscopy also reveal an increase in the amount of the enzyme, which is particularly evident at the nuclear level. Inhibition of PI 3-K activity by nanomolar concentrations of wortmannin and of its expression by transfection with an antisense fragment of p85alpha prevented the differentiative process. The data obtained indicate that PI 3-K activity plays an essential role in promoting granulocytic differentiation.
