Transforming growth factor beta: possible roles in the regulation of normal and leukemic hematopoietic cell growth

We have recently demonstrated that transforming growth factor (TGF)-beta 1 and TGF-beta 2 are potent inhibitors of the growth and differentiation of murine and human hematopoietic cells. The proliferation of primary unfractionated murine bone marrow by interleukin-3 (IL-3) and human bone marrow by IL-3 or granulocyte/macrophage colony-stimulating factor (GM-CSF) was inhibited by TGF-beta 1 and TGF-beta 2, while the proliferation of murine bone marrow by GM-CSF or murine and human marrow with G-CSF was not inhibited. Mouse and human hematopoietic colony formation was differentially affected by TGF-beta 1. In particular, CFU-GM, CFU-GEMM, BFU-E, and HPP-CFC, the most immature colonies, were inhibited by TGF-beta 1, whereas the more differentiated unipotent CFU-G, CFU-M, and CFU-E were not affected. TGF-beta 1 inhibited IL-3-induced growth of murine leukemic cell lines within 24 h, after which the cells were still viable. Subsequent removal of the TGF-beta 1 results in the resumption of normal growth. TGF-beta 1 inhibited the growth of factor-dependent NFS-60 cells in a dose-dependent manner in response to IL-3, GM-CSF, G-CSF, CSF-1, IL-4, or IL-6. TGF-beta 1 inhibited the growth of a variety of murine and human myeloid leukemias, while erythroid and macrophage leukemias were insensitive. Lymphoid leukemias, whose normal cellular counterparts were markedly inhibited by TGF-beta, were also resistant to TGF-beta 1 inhibition. These leukemic cells have no detectable TGF-beta 1 receptors on their cell surface. Last, TGF-beta 1 directly inhibited the growth of isolated Thy-1-positive progenitor cells. Thus, TGF-beta may be an important modulator of normal and leukemic hematopoietic cell growth.     

Comparative analysis of p21 proteins from various cell types by two-dimensional gel electrophoresis

The products of the ras gene family are related proteins at a molecular weight of 21 kDa, designated p21. In the present study we used two-dimensional gel electrophoresis to compare p21 proteins from five different normal and malignant cell lines. Using a known protein (3H-labeled translation initiation factor [eIF-4D]) as a standard internal marker for isoelectric point (pI), we show that p21 proteins from various cells differ only slightly in molecular weight (21-24 kDa) but express a wide variety in charge (pI 4.8 to 7) that could only be detected by the use of two-dimensional gel electrophoresis. p21 in NIH/3T3 cells was expressed as a single protein, which migrated at 21 kDa and pI 5.1. This peptide, which is probably the product of the normal cellular ras gene, was also detected in normal human lymphocytes. The synthesis of this peptide was not elevated in the transformed cells. However, transformation of NIH/3T3 fibroblasts and of human leukocytes was found to be associated with expression of qualitatively different forms of p21 peptides. Four additional p21-associated peptides of identical molecular weight (23 kDa), but multiple charge forms, were detected selectively in Kirsten murine sarcoma virus-transformed NIH/3T3 cells. Transformation of cells with Harvey murine sarcoma virus was found to be associated with prominent expression of two major pairs of p21-associated proteins, one at 21 kDa (pI, 5.2 and 5.3) and the other at 23 kDa (pI, 5.1 and 5.2). In HL-60 leukemic cells there was an additional, more acidic form (pI 5.0) of p21, which appeared to be absent or reduced in normal human lymphocytes. These results indicate that p21 from viral origin or cellular origin might be expressed in the cells in multiple charge forms. The capability to distinguish multiple forms of p21 and slight charge modifications associated with malignancy should call for the use of 2-D gel electrophoresis as an important tool in future studies involving p21 proteins.     

Low-molecular- weight Rauscher leukemia virus protein with preferential binding for single-stranded RNA and DNA.

A sensitive nitrocellulose filter assay that measures the retention of 125I single-stranded calf thymus DNA has been used to detect and purify DNA-binding proteins that retain a biological function from Rauscher murine leukemia virus. By consecutive purification on oligo (dT)- cellulose and DEAE-Bio-Gel columns and centrifugation in 10 to 30% glycerol gradients, RNA-dependent DNA polymerase has been separated from a second virion DNA-binding protein. The binding of this protein to DNA was strongly affected by NaCl concentration but showed little change in activity over a wide range of temperature or pH. After glycerol gradient purification, polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis of this protein showed one major band with a molecular weight of approximately 9,800. This protein binds about as well as to single-stranded Escherichia coli or calf thymus DNA or 70S type C viral RNA. The binding to 125I single-stranded calf thymus DNA is very efficiently inhibited by unlabeled single-stranded DNA from either E. coli or calf thymus and by 70S murine or feline viral RNA. Much larger amounts of double-stranded DNA are required to produce an equivalent percentage of inhibition. This protein, therefore, shows preferential binding to single-stranded DNA or viral RNA.     

Selective cytotoxicity of marine algae extracts to several human leukemic cell lines

Extracts from 8 species of marine algae which showed selective cytotoxicity in our previous screening program, were further examined for cytotoxic spectra to five human leukemic cell lines. The extract from a red alga, Amphiroa zonata exhibited strong cytotoxicity to all human leukemic cell lines tested and murine leukemic cells L1210 at the final concentrations from 15 to 375 μg ml−¹. Then the cytotoxicity was not found in normal human fibroblast HDF and murine normal cells NIH-3T3. The active extract fraction from this alga was soluble in higher polar organic solvents and water and heat-stable. The extract from a brown alga Dilophus okamurae with weak selective cytotoxic activity to L1210 cells exhibited not only strong cytotoxicity to L1210, but also to human leukemic cells, HL60 and MOLT-4 at 50 μg ml-¹. While, the extract from a green alga, Cladophoropsis vaucheriaeformis with most selective cytotoxic activity, did not show cytotoxicity to any human leukemic cell lines tested at 50 μg ml-¹. However, this extract showed strong cytotoxicity to two human leukemic cell lines and NIH-3T3 at 100 μg ml−¹. Thus, it was considered that a red alga, Amphiroa zonata might be suitable natural source for development of anti-cancer agents without side-effect.
