The effect of various differentiation inducers on membrane cell dynamics was studied using HL-60 and K562 leukemic cell lines. Membrane lipid dynamics was measured by the steady-state fluorescence polarization (P) method utilizing either 1,6-diphenyl-1,3,5-hexatriene (DPH) or the trimethyl ammonium derivative of DPH (TMA-DPH), which ascertains anchorage of the label to the membrane-water-lipid interface. Decrease in membrane microfluidity was observed in HL-60 cells undergoing differentiation into macrophages by 1,25-dihydroxyvitamin D3 and by K562 cells induced to differentiate by DMSO.
