Relieving Effects of Oligoglucosamine on the Inhibition Induced by Deoxynivalenol in Wheat Embryo Cells

The growth of etiolated wheat ( Triticum aestivum L. cv. Lumai No.22) seedlings and the activation of the cell cycle in embryo cells were estimated by flow cytometric analyses in wheat after the seeds being treated with oligoglucosamine and deoxynivalenol (DON). The results indicated that both the root number in etiolated wheat seedlings and the activation of the cells which had been arrested at G1 phase of the cell cycle in wheat embryos were enhanced by oligoglucosamine, suggesting that the mitosis in wheat embryo cells could be promoted by oligoglucosamine. The inhibition of DON on the growth of etiolated wheat seedlings and on the activation of the cell cycle in wheat embryo cells were relieved when the seeds were immersed in oligoglucosamine solution for 12 h before DON treatment. The results indicated that oligoglucosamine increased the hardiness to the poisoning of DON in wheat embryo cells. This might be the reason why such oligosaccharide elicits the resistance of plants to pathogen infection.     

Calcium ion-dependent proliferation of L1210 cells in culture

Maximum growth of L1210 cells in culture required the presence of free extracellular calcium ions. Reducing the free extracellular calcium ion concentration with EGTA served to decrease the growth rate of the cells. The decrease in cell growth was not due to cell death but rather due to the "pile-up" of the L1210 cells in the GO/Gl phase of the cell cycle. With the readdition of excess calcium ions, there was a lag period of 3 to 6 hours before the L1210 cells initiated DNA synthesis or transited from the G0/G1 phase to S-phase. Cells enriched for S and G2/M phase by elutriation and which were incubated in EGTA-containing culture medium, continued through the cell cycle and were blocked in GO/Gl. These data indicate that the proliferation of L1210 cells in culture requires a calcium ion-dependent process to allow movement from the G0/G1 to S-phase of the cell cycle.     

Cell division and subsequent radicle protrusion in tomato seeds are inhibited by osmotic stress but DNA synthesis and formation of microtubular cytoskeleton are not

We studied cell cycle events in embryos of tomato (Lycopersicon esculentum Mill. cv Moneymaker) seeds during imbibition in water and during osmoconditioning ("priming") using both quantitative and cytological analysis of DNA synthesis and beta-tubulin accumulation. Most embryonic nuclei of dry, untreated control seeds were arrested in the G(1) phase of the cell cycle. This indicated the absence of DNA synthesis (the S-phase), as confirmed by the absence of bromodeoxyuridine incorporation. In addition, beta-tubulin was not detected on western blots and microtubules were not present. During imbibition in water, DNA synthesis was activated in the radicle tip and then spread toward the cotyledons, resulting in an increase in the number of nuclei in G(2). Concomitantly, beta-tubulin accumulated and was assembled into microtubular cytoskeleton networks. Both of these cell cycle events preceded cell expansion and division and subsequent growth of the radicle through the seed coat. The activation of DNA synthesis and the formation of microtubular cytoskeleton networks were also observed throughout the embryo when seeds were osmoconditioned. However, this pre-activation of the cell cycle appeared to become arrested in the G(2) phase since no mitosis was observed. The pre-activation of cell cycle events in osmoconditioned seeds appeared to be correlated with enhanced germination performance during re-imbibition in water.     

Effects of foscarnet on the cell kinetics of Madin-Darby canine kidney cells

The antiherpes compound, foscarnet (trisodium phosphonoformate), showed concentration-dependent effects on the cell kinetics of Madin-Darby canine kidney cells. At 1 mM, only minor effects could be seen on cell proliferation and cell cycle distribution, as measured by flow cytometry DNA analysis. Treatment with 5 mM foscarnet resulted in an accumulation of cells in the S-phase although no complete cell cycle block was evident. At 10 mM foscarnet, cells accumulated earlier in the S phase, probably at the G1/S border. However, at both 5 and 10 mM foscarnet the block was not established until after 15 h incubation. Upon removing 10 mM foscarnet after 24 h incubation, G1 cells rapidly entered the S phase, whereas the progression through S and G2 + M was delayed considerably. The DNA synthesizing S phase seems, therefore, to be the main cell cycle phase affected by foscarnet.     

DNA synthesis in the second and third cell cycles of mouse preimplantation development. A cytophotometric study

Female Swiss mice were sacrificed at 2 h intervals between 16–30 and 40–56 h after insemination. One-, 2- and 4-cell embryos were stained by the Feulgen method and cytophotometric measurement of their nuclear DNA content was carried out. The cells with 2C and 4C DNA content were assumed to be in G1 and G2 phase and those with intermediate DNA content in S phase of the cell cycle. The fractions of cells which had passed a given phase of the cell cycle were calculated for various times after insemination and utilized for measurements of the second and third cell cycle timing. Results of measurements for the second cell cycle: G1 phase 1.3 h, S phase 6.1 h, G2 phase 15.4 h, whereas for the third cell cycle: G1 phase 1.6 h, S phase 7.4 h, G2 phase 0.5 h. The first cleavage division was calculated as 1.6 h, the second as 1.3 h and the third as 1.2 h. Complete intra-embryonic synchronization of the DNA-synthesizing nuclei was preserved during the entire synthesis phase of 2-cell embryos, while in 4-cell embryos they were slightly asynchronized. Among mitotic cells of the first cleavage division and G1 cells of 2-cell embryos a slight interembryonic asynchronization was found which deepened during subsequent cell cycle phases.     

beta]-Tubulin Accumulation and DNA Replication in Imbibing Tomato Seeds

The activation of the cell cycle in embryo root tips of imbibing tomato (Lycopersicon esculentum Mill. cv Lerica) seeds was studied by flow cytometric analyses of the nuclear DNA content and by immunodelection of [beta]-tubulin. With dry seeds, flow cytometric profiles indicated that the majority of the cells were arrested at the G1 phase of the cell cycle. In addition, [beta]-tubulin was not detectable on western blots. Upon imbibition of water, the number of cells in G2 started to increase after 24 h, and a 55-kD [beta]-tubulin signal was detected between 24 and 48 h. Two-dimensional immunoblots revealed at least three different [beta]-tubulin isotypes. Thus, [beta]-tubulin accumulation and DNA replication were induced during osmotic priming. These processes, as well as seed germination rate, were enhanced upon subsequent imbibition of water, compared with control seeds that imbibed but were not primed. By contrast, when aged seeds imbibed, DNA replication, [beta]-tubulin accumulation, and germination were delayed. In all cases studied, both DNA replication and [beta]-tubulin accumulation preceded visible germination. We suggest that activation of these cell-cycle-related processes is a prerequisite for tomato seed germination. Furthermore, [beta]-tubulin expression can be used as a parameter for following the initial processes that are activated during seed imbibition.     

RB-dependent S-phase response to DNA damage

The retinoblastoma tumor suppressor protein (RB) is a potent inhibitor of cell proliferation. RB is expressed throughout the cell cycle, but its antiproliferative activity is neutralized by phosphorylation during the G(1)/S transition. RB plays an essential role in the G(1) arrest induced by a variety of growth inhibitory signals. In this report, RB is shown to also be required for an intra-S-phase response to DNA damage. Treatment with cisplatin, etoposide, or mitomycin C inhibited S-phase progression in Rb(+/+) but not in Rb(-/-) mouse embryo fibroblasts. Dephosphorylation of RB in S-phase cells temporally preceded the inhibition of DNA synthesis. This S-phase dephosphorylation of RB and subsequent inhibition of DNA replication was observed in p21(Cip1)-deficient cells. The induction of the RB-dependent intra-S-phase arrest persisted for days and correlated with a protection against DNA damage-induced cell death. These results demonstrate that RB plays a protective role in response to genotoxic stress by inhibiting cell cycle progression in G(1) and in S phase.     

Mouse 24p3 protein has an effect on L929 cell viability

It is well known that mouse uterine 24p3 protein, is an acute phase protein, secreted from the L929 cell line, and that it will be induced by the dexamethasone stimulation of the cell. We investigated the possible effects of 24p3 protein on the L929 cell line, by observing its morphological change, ROS increase and viability decrease, by the process of culturing in a 24p3 protein-supplemented medium. Following the L929 cells' exposure to the 24p3 protein supplement for a period of 72 hours, S-phase cells accumulated to a significant degree, suggesting that the entry into the G2/M phase from the S phase, in the cell cycle progression, was blocked. There was a significant decrease in cell numbers and increased DNA damage within the cells in the presence of 24p3 protein within the medium for 96 hours, implying that they have undergone pathway of cell death. After 96h incubation in low concentration of 24p3 protein, the result of PI/annexin V double staining showed cell death obviously. These results suggest that 24p3 protein-induced S phase arrest in the cell cycle, would cause DNA damage, followed by cell death in the L929 cells.     

The cell cycle dependence of thermotolerance. III. HeLa cells heated at 45.0 degrees C

We have extended our studies on the cell cycle dependence of thermotolerance to include HeLa cells heated at 45.0 degrees C to compare the results to Chinese hamster ovary (CHO) cells. We found that asynchronous HeLa cells were more resistant to heat than CHO cells but showed a similar development and decay of thermotolerance. Flow cytometry (FCM) was used to study redistributions in the cell cycle after an initial heat dose. Cells heated for 35 min at 45.0 degrees C were delayed in G1 by about 7 h compared to controls, with delays in late S and G2/M phase also. The heat sensitivity varied through the cell cycle; G1 cells were the most resistant to heat, while S-phase cells were uniformly sensitive throughout S phase, and G2 cells were resistant. Thermotolerance could be induced and expressed in early or late S-phase cells, but to a lesser extent than for G1 cells. The results were similar in many respects to CHO cells, but there were significant differences.     

An in vivo study on the synchronizing effect of hydroxyurea

The effect of hydroxyurea (HU; 0.5 mg/g body wt) on L 1210 ascites tumor cells has been studied using various cell kinetic methods. In contrast to the general assumption that HU blocks cells at the G1/S boundary [J. Brachet (1985) Molecular Cytology, Vol. I, p. 266, Academic Press, New York], the present results show that the cells are not held at G1/S but enter S at about the normal rate and are accumulated in early S phase due to a dose-dependent inhibiting effect of HU on DNA synthesis. Partial synchronization of the cells demonstrated by a distinct mitotic peak 10 h after HU application is not due to a G1/S block of the cells and their subsequent synchronous passage through the cycle after release from the block but is due to rather complex mechanisms of action of HU: a differential cytocidal effect and an effect on the passage of the cells through the cycle, both depending on the position of the cells throughout the cycle. HU kills S-phase cells, mainly cells in early S phase; i.e., a great portion of the cells "accumulated" in early S phase is killed by the drug, while G1-phase cells are almost not affected by the lethal effect of HU. These G1-phase cells pass through the cycle more rapidly after cessation of the HU effect. The same is true for the surviving cells accumulated in early S phase, while part of the cells in the remaining S phase are delayed in their passage through the cycle. This causes partial synchronization, since a great portion of all cells that survive HU treatment reach mitosis at the same time.
