The role of magnesium ions in the differentiation of human promyelocytic leukemia HL-60 cells was investigated. When HL-60 extracellular magnesium was deficient (less than 0.01 mM), the total intracellular magnesium content and [3H] leucine incorporation rates decreased to 61 and 28%, respectively,

City, lowa 52242
Butylated hydroxytoluene (BHT), which has both antioxidant and membrane active properties, has been reported to affect cellular differentiation. We studied its etfect on the bipolent lineage differentiation of the important HL-60 human myeloblastic leukemia cell line using reduction of nitroblue tetrazolium, cell cycle analysis, population growth rate, monoclonal antibodies, and morphology. BHT markedly accelerated retinoic acid-induced myelocytic differentiation and dihydroxyvitamin D,-induced monocytic differentiation in a concentration and timedependent manner. Butylated hydroxyanisole (BHA) had a comparable effect.
Preincubation with the compounds was not necesary to evoke the acceleration.
Other antioxidants and inhibitors of eicosanoid synthesis were inactive. We conclude that the important food preservatives BHT and BHA accelerate the kinetics of terminal differentiation of human leukemia and that this effect is likely due at least in part to their membrane active properties.
