Although phospholipid scramblase 1 (PLSCR1) was originally identified based on its capacity to promote transbilayer movement of membrane phospholipids, subsequent studies also provided evidence for its roles in cell proliferation, maturation, and apoptosis. In this report we investigate the potential role of PLSCR1 in leukemic cell differentiation. We show that all-trans retinoic acid (ATRA), an effective differentiation-inducing agent of acute promyelocytic leukemic (APL) cells, can elevate PLSCR1 expression in ATRA-sensitive APL cells NB4 and HL60, but not in ATRA-resistant NB4-LR1 cells. ATRA- and PMA-induced monocytic differentiation of U937 cells is accompanied by increased PLSCR1 expression, whereas only a slight or no elevation of PLSCR1 expression is observed in cells differentiated with DMSO, sodium butyrate, or vitamin D3. Cell differentiation with ATRA and PMA, but not with vitamin D3 or DMSO, results in phosphorylation of protein kinase C (PKC ), and the PKC -specific inhibitor rottlerin nearly eliminates the ATRA- and PMA-induced expression of PLSCR1, while ectopic expression of a constitutively active form of PKC directly increases PLSCR1 expression. Finally, decreasing PLSCR1 expression with small interfering RNA inhibits ATRA/PMA-induced differentiation. Taken together, these results suggest that as a protein induced upon PKC activation, PLSCR1 is required for ATRA and PMA-triggered leukemic cell differentiation.
