MEK/ERK signal pathway was required for the differentiation of granulocytes, megakaryocytes and erythrocytes. Recently, MEK/ERK cascade was reported to be involved in all-trans retinoic acid (ATRA) induced differentiation in acute promyelocytic leukemia (APL) cells. However, the upstream and downstream molecules of MEK/ERK signal pathway in this cell model remains to be elucidated. In this work, we showed that RAF-1 was activated and the blockade of RAF-1 activation attenuated MEK/ERK activation as well as ATRA-induced differentiation. ATRA-enhanced protein levels of C/EBPβ, C/EBPε and PU.1, which were required for differentiation in APL cells, were suppressed by the specific inhibitor of MEK. However, MEK inhibition had no effect on the degradation of PML-RARα fusion protein or the restoration of PML nuclear bodies by ATRA treatment. Taken together, our study suggested that RAF-1/MEK/ERK cascade was involved in ATRA-induced differentiation in APL cells through enhancing the protein level of C/EBPβ, C/EBPε and PU.1.
