TL;DR
A human erythroleukemia cell line was used as a model to study dynamic changes in human 12-, 15-, 5-lipoxygenases, five lipoxygenase activating protein (FLAP), and leukotriene A4 (LTA4) hydrolase gene expression during megakaryocytic differentiation induced by diosgenin.
Abstract
A human erythroleukemia (HEL) cell line was used as a model to study dynamic changes in human 12-, 15-, 5-lipoxygenases, five lipoxygenase activating protein (FLAP), and leukotriene A4 (LTA4) hydrolase gene expression during megakaryocytic differentiation induced by diosgenin (Beneytout, J.L., Nappez, C., Leboutet, M.J. and Malinvaud, G., Biochem. Biophys. Res. Commun., 207 (1995) 398-404). The study was performed at the transcriptional level: 12- and 5-lipoxygenase mRNAs, FLAP mRNA and LTA4 hydrolase mRNA were detected before and after diosgenin treatment in HEL cells while 15-lipoxygenase mRNA was undetected. When HEL cells were incubated with arachidonic acid, 5-, 12-, 15-hydroxyeicosatetraenoic acids (HETE) and LTC4 were synthesized. In contrast, the diosgenin treatment induced the suppression of 12-lipoxygenase activity and only 5-, 15-HETEs and LTC4 were synthesized.

By indicating the existence of an additional pathway through which retinoic acid may exert its effects, these data lead to a re-evaluation of retinoid physiology.

Since the chemical characterization of the slow-reacting substance of anaphylaxis as several cysteinyl leukotrienes and the identification and biochemical assessment of the enzymes in the 5-lipoxygenase pathway, the products of this pathway have been implicated in a much broader variety of functions.

Evidence is provided that expression of the gene for cellular retinol-binding protein type II (CRBPII), a key protein in the intestinal absorption of vitamin A, is dramatically up-regulated by retinoic acid in the presence of RXR but not RAR, suggesting that an RXR-mediated pathway exists for modulating vitamin A metabolism.

KPC-zeta does not translocate or down-regulate in response to phorbol esters or diacylglycerol derivatives, however, for reasons discussed these studies do not resolve the issue of whether this isoform is activated by TPA.

It is demonstrated that HEL, a human erythroleukemic cell line, has numerous megakaryocytic markers which were markedly enhanced following the addition of the inducers dimethyl sulfoxide or 12‐O‐tetradecanoylphorbol‐13‐acetate to the culture medium.

Results indicate that this region might position the substrate in the active site of 15-lipoxygenase, which is implicated in inflammatory disorders and can oxidize low-density lipoprotein to its atherogenic form3'4.

Megakaryocyte differentiation is associated with endomitotic DNA synthesis (i.e., continued DNA synthesis in the absence of mitosis and cytokinesis), with HEL cells reaching a DNA content of 3-12 times that of unstimulated cells.

In HEL cell homogenates, a partial translocation of the cytosolic enzyme to the membrane takes place in a Ca(2+)-dependent manner, resulting in an increase in membrane-associated 12-lipoxygenase activity and a concomitant decrease in cytosol 12- Lipoxygen enzyme activity above 0.1 microM Ca2+.
