Cyclooxygenase (COX)-1 or -2 and specific prostaglandin (PG) synthases catalyze the formation of various PGs. We investigated the expression and activity of COX-1 and -2 during granulocyte-oriented maturation induced by all-trans-retinoic acid (ATRA) of NB4 cells, originated from a human acute promyelocytic leukemia (APL), and in blasts from APL patients. The expression of COX isoenzymes or prostaglandin synthases was also investigated in circulating granulocytes and human bone marrow. COX-1 was expressed and enzymatically active in NB4 cells and primary blasts. COX-1 mRNA and protein were induced by ATRA. COX-1 protein increased approximately 2-3.5-fold by culture day 3 in NB4 cells and primary blasts, while basal COX-2 expression was very low and unaffected by ATRA. COX-1-dependent PGE(2) biosynthesis increased during differentiation approx. 5-fold. Indomethacin and the selective COX-1 inhibitor SC-560, but not selective COX-2 inhibition, impaired NB4 differentiation, reducing NADPH-oxidase activity, CD11b and CD11c expression. The immunohistochemistry of granulocytes and myeloid precursors in the bone marrow showed a large prevalence of COX-1 as compared to COX-2. In conclusion, COX-1 is induced during ATRA-dependent maturation and appears to contribute to myeloid differentiation both in vitro and ex vivo, and COX-1 activity may potentiate the differentiation of human APL.Leukemia (2004) 18, 1373-1379. doi:10.1038/sj.leu.2403407 Published online 10 June 2004
