We have characterized a new human cell line AP-217, derived from the peripheral blood of a patient with chronic myeloid leukemia in blastic crisis. The analysis of cell surface antigens and ploidy showed that AP-217 was an erythro-megakaryocytic cell line. The effects of inducers of differentiation were studied and focused on retinoic acid (RA). Uninduced AP-217 cells produced a low level of hemoglobin (Hb) that showed a moderate but significant dose-dependent increase after 13 cis-RA induction (four times above the control at 10(-5) M). To outline this effect, AP-217 cells were cloned at limiting dilution. A subclone (clone 2) was isolated which expressed glycophorin A on 12% of cells, and showed a marked sensitivity to RA. After a 4 day induction with increasing concentrations of RA (1-10 x 10(-6) M) Hb production by clone 2 cells was enhanced 12 times over the control at the highest concentration (10(-5) M). No effect of RA on the Hb production of K-562 and HEL was observed. This increased Hb production occurred simultaneously with a growth inhibition in clonogenic cultures (20% reduction) associated with a drastic reduction of the colony size. Moreover, we demonstrated the expression of mRNA for the beta globin gene in clone 2 and AP-217-cells. This is the first report of a positive effect of RA on the erythroid differentiation of a human leukemic cell line.
