Abstract/OtherAbstract:
The subcellular distribution of the elastase in human myeloid leukemia HL-60 cells was studied in comparison with that in normal leukocytes. On differential centrifugation, most of the elastase activity of HL-60 cell lysates was recovered in the 105,000 x g supernatant, while that of human peripheral blood leukocyte lysates was recovered in the 500 x g precipitate (azurophil granule-rich fraction). Moreover, on Percoll density gradient centrifugation, the elastase activity in HL-60 cell extracts was recovered in the lightest fraction with none in the azurophil granule-rich fractions, whereas most of the activity in leukocyte extracts was recovered in the azurophil granule-rich fractions. This subcellular localization of elastase did not change when HL-60 cells differentiated into monocytes and granulocytes by induction with 12-O-tetradecanoyl phorbol-13-acetate and retinoic acid, respectively. Furthermore, on Sephadex G-75 gel filtration, the elastase activity in HL-60 cell extracts was eluted earlier than that in leukocyte extracts. The size estimation indicated that the elastase of HL-60 cells was 36-30 kDa, corresponding to the size of an elastase precursor reported. The relevance of a large form of the elastase in HL-60 cells to its subcellular localization is discussed.
