Butyrate induces cytodifferentiation in many tumor cells of different origin, suggesting that an as yet unidentified common mechanism inherent to malignant cells is the target of butyrate action. This study determined the role of different mitogen-activated protein (MAP) kinase signal transduction pathways in butyrate-induced erythroid differentiation of K562 human leukemia cells. Using a panel of anti-ERK, JNK, and p38 phosphospecific antibodies, the study showed that phosphorylation of ERK and JNK is decreased following treatment of cells with butyrate, whereas phosphorylation of p38 is increased. In contrast, a K562 subline defective in butyrate-mediated induction of erythroid differentiation did not reveal these changes in phosphorylation patterns. Inhibition of ERK activity by UO126 induces erythroid differentiation and acts synergistically with butyrate on hemoglobin synthesis and inhibition of cell proliferation, whereas inhibition of p38 activity by SB203580 completely abolished induction of hemoglobin expression by butyrate. Taken together, our data suggest a model in which butyrate induces erythroid differentiation of K562 cells by inhibition of ERK and activation of p38 signal transduction pathways.
