Application
Phorbol 12-Myristate 13-Acetate is suitable as an inducer of cell differentiation in monocytic cell lines such as U937 and THP-1.
Biochem/physiol Actions
Phorbol 12-Myristate 13-Acetate is a tumor-promoting phorbol ester. It regulates various processes such as gene transcription, cellular growth and differentiation, apoptosis, the immune response, and receptor desensitization via activating protein kinase C (PKC) signaling pathways. It promotes differentiation of human monocytic THP-1 cells to functional macrophages.

General description
Phorbol 12-Myristate 13-Acetate (PMA) is obtained from the unripe fruit of Sapium indicum. It is a pro-inflammatory agent. PMA shows its effects by the release of cytokines, nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide phosphate (NADPH) oxidases, and proteases that result in tissue damage or activates histamine production. This promotes vascular remodeling, heat, and redness. PMA exhibits antimicrobial, proliferative, antiproliferative, anti-neoplastic effects.

Orthodontic tooth movement is a complex process involving the remodeling of extracellular matrix and bone as well as inflammatory processes. During orthodontic treatment, sterile inflammation and mechanical loading favor the production of receptor activator of NF-κB ligand (RANKL). Simultaneously, expression of

Phorbol-12-myristate-13-acetate (PMA) and 1,25-dihydroxyvitamin D3 (VD3) are stimuli commonly used to induce macrophage differentiation in monocytic cell lines, but the extent of differentiation in comparison to primary tissue macrophages is unclear. Here, we examine the morphological/phenotypic markers associated with differentiation

Human monocytic THP-1 cells can be induced to differentiate to macrophages when treated with phorbol 12-myristate 13-acetate (PMA). It is understood that before initiating cell differentiation, PMA treatment must first induce an inhibition of cell growth. Since the initial biochemical
