Abstract
The core of the 26S proteasome, the 20S prosome, is a highly organized multi-protein complex found in large amount in malignant cells. Differentiation of several cell lines, including the monoblastic U937 and the lymphoblastoid CCRF-CEM, is accompanied by a general decrease in the prosome concentration when phorbol-myrirtic-acetate (PMA) and retinoic acid plus dihydroxyvitamine D3 (RA+VD) are used. Incubation of U937 cells for three days with PMA or RA+VD causes differentiation, but the resulting patterns of prosome labeling in the cell and on the plasma membrane are not the same. In contrast, the same kind of prosome changes occur in U937 and CCRF-CEM cells when PMA is used as inducer. The intracellular distribution of prosomes is also linked to malignancy and differentiation. Prosomes are found in the nucleus and the cytoplasm of cancer cells; and treatment with RA+VD decreases the prosomes in the nucleus whereas PMA causes various prosome proteins changes. These results indicate that prosomes are important in cell regulation and in the expression of malignancy.Keywords
