Tyrosol, at the Concentration Found in Maltese Extra Virgin Olive Oil, Induces HL-60 Differentiation towards the Monocyte lineage

Tyrosol is a phenolic found in extra virgin olive oil (EVOO). In a Maltese monocultivar EVOO, it was present at a concentration of 9.23 ppm. The HL-60 acute myeloid leukaemia cell line, which can be differentiated to both monocytes and neutrophils, was exposed to tyrosol at this concentration and an...

Sumario:Tyrosol is a phenolic found in extra virgin olive oil (EVOO). In a Maltese monocultivar EVOO, it was present at a concentration of 9.23 ppm. The HL-60 acute myeloid leukaemia cell line, which can be differentiated to both monocytes and neutrophils, was exposed to tyrosol at this concentration and analysed for evidence of differentiation and effects of cytotoxicity. The polyphenol induced a 1.93-fold increase in cellular oxidative activity (<i>p</i>-value 0.044) and enhanced surface expression of CD11b and CD14. This indicates that tyrosol induces monocytic-like differentiation. An RNA-seq analysis confirmed the upregulation of monocyte genes and the loss of neutrophil genes concomitant with the bi-potential promyelocyte precursor moving down the monocytic pathway. A cell cycle analysis showed an accumulation of cells in the Sub G<sub>0</sub>/G<sub>1</sub> phase following tyrosol exposure for 5 days, which coincided with an increase in apoptotic and necrotic markers. This indicates differentiation followed by cell death, unlike the positive monocyte differentiation control PMA. This selective cytotoxic effect following differentiation indicates therapeutic potential against leukaemia.
