## Abstract The Wiskott‐Aldrich Syndrome (WAS) is a disease associated with mutations in the WAS gene and characterised by developmental defects in haematopoietic cells such as myeloid cells. The Wiskott‐Aldrich Syndrome protein (WASP)‐family includes Scar1 and WASP, which are key regulators of act

✦ Synopsis
Promyelocytic leukemia HL-60 cells promoted by PMA to differentiate along the monocyte pathway adhere to tissue culture plates. To explore the regulation of adhesion molecules in cells promoted to differentiate, the expression and secretion of osteopontin (OPN) and expression of associated cell surface receptors, CD44 and integrin subunits a v , b 3 , b 1 , were examined. Results were as follows: 1) PMA induced OPN mRNA and OPN secretion into media; 2) untreated cells expressed b 1 and CD44 mRNA, and PMA induced a v and b 3 mRNA and increased b 1 and CD44 mRNA expression; 3) PMA increased levels of a v , b 3 , b 1 and CD44 protein on the cell surface; and 4) retinoic acid, which promotes granulocytic differentiation of HL-60 cells, did not affect OPN, a v , b 3 , b 1 , or CD44 mRNA or protein expression. These data suggest that induction of OPN and associated receptors may play a role during monocytic differentiation of HL-60 cells.

Prior to morphologic and functional maturation, terminally differentiating hematopoietic cells first exit the cell cycle and undergo growth arrest. Relatively little is known about which molecules regulate differentiation-induced growth arrest. In the present report, we sought to determine whether t
