Oxidative stress has been implicated in a wide range of cellular damage which includes DNA oxidation, membrane lipid peroxidation, and apoptosis. In our study, we found that overexpression of PLC-beta1 in NIH3T3 fibroblasts protected them from cell death occuring in response to oxidative stress. Cell death caused by treatment with prooxidant tert-butylhydroperoxide (TBH), H2O2, or CdCl2 was considerably suppressed in PLC-beta1 overexpressed NIH/beta1-14 cells in comparison to control NIH/neo cells. However, overexpression of PLC-beta1 failed to protect the cells from toxicity by diamide or KCN. In addition, while accumulation of c-fos mRNA was observed within 30 min of TBH treatment in vector transfected NIH/neo cells, TBH-induced c-fos mRNA generation was completely suppressed in NIH/beta1-14 cells, while that of c-jun and GAPDH was not affected. These findings suggest that PLC-beta1 may play a role in process that can protect cells from oxidative stress-induced cell death.  相似文献

The human CD81 (hCD81) molecule has been identified as a putative receptor for hepatitis C virus (HCV). In this study, eukaryotic expression vector pCDM8-hCD81 containing hCD81 cDNA and pSV2neo helper plasmid was used to cotransfect with lipofectamine into murine fibroblast cell line NIH/3T3 to establish an hCD81-expressing cell line. Resistant cell clones were obtained 20 days after the selection with neomycin (600 micro/ml) and then cultured as monoclones. The expression of the transfected hCD81 gene in the cells was verified by RT-PCR and flow cytometry analyses. One of the selected cell clones showed obvious expression of hCD81 and was named NIH/3T3-hCD81. Competitive inhibition tests indicated that the binding of monoclonal anti-hCD81 (JS-81) to NIH/3T3-hCD81 cells was inhibited by recombinant HCV E2 protein, suggesting that the expressed hCD81 molecules on NIH/3T3-hCD81 cells maintain natural conformation of binding to HCV E2. The transfected NIH/3T3-hCD81 cells should be of great potential value in studies on HCV attachment and onset of infection.  相似文献

Transformation of NIH 3T3 fibroblasts by v-mos causes a decrease in the levels of type I collagen RNA. In NIH 3T3 cells that have been made resistant to G418 by transfection with a plasmid in which the mouse alpha 2(I) collagen promoter is linked to the neo gene, subsequent v-mos transformation causes a loss of G418 resistance. After mutagenesis of these v-mos-transformed cells, G418-resistant colonies were selected. Two of these G418-resistant mutants showed an increased expression of the neo gene and of the endogenous type I collagen and fibronectin genes, without changes in their levels of v-mos RNA or in their ability to induce tumors. The mutations might alter cellular trans-acting factors that either directly or indirectly control the expression of the type I collagen and fibronectin genes in transformed cells.  相似文献

NIH 3T3 mouse cells were transfected by the plasmid pSV3neo (G418-resistant) with the help of high-velocity mechanical DNA injection based on the principle of bombarding cells with tungsten particles covered with the DNA. Stable transformants were obtained. Dot-hybridization and Southern analysis revealed the integration into the genome of 5-20 copies per cell of original plasmid DNA. The plasmid DNA was shown to have tandem organization.  相似文献

Our previous studies show that the depletion of cholesterol or sphingolipids (raft-associated lipids) from receptor-bearing adherent cell lines blocks HIV-1 entry and HIV-1 Env-mediated membrane fusion. Here we have evaluated the mechanism(s) by which these lipids contribute to the HIV-1 Env-mediated membrane fusion. We report the following: (1) GSL depletion from a suspension T lymphocyte cell line (Sup-T1) reduced subsequent fusion with HIV-1IIIB-expressing cells by 70%. (2) Cholesterol depletion from NIH3T3 cells bearing HIV-1 receptors (NIH3T3CD4R5/NIH3T3CD4X4) did not impair subsequent fusion with HeLa cells expressing the corresponding HIV-1 Envs. In contrast GSL depletion from these targets reduced fusion by 50% suggesting that GSL facilitate fusion in different ways. (3) GSL-deficient GM95 cells bearing high receptors fused with HIV-1 Env-expressing cells at 37°C with kinetics similar to that of GSL + NIH3T3 targets. Based on these observations, we propose that the plasma membrane cholesterol is required to maintain the integrity of receptor pools whereas GSLs are involved in stabilizing the coupling of inter-receptor pools.  相似文献

We have previously established a murine flat revertant cell line R1 from an activated H-ras transformant EJ-NIH/3T3 by subjecting it to ethyl methanesulfonate. From the R1 cells, we cloned a mutated gelsolin gene His321 and have shown the inhibitory activity of His321 against EJ-NIH/3T3 tumors. Our present experiments were conducted to find out whether the His321 gene has any effects on untransformed NIH/3T3 fibroblasts. Rhodamine-phalloidin staining revealed that two NIH/3T3 clones expressing His321 (NIH/λ2S-3 and NIH/λ2S-6) form organized actin stress fibers as two clones transfected with the vector alone (NIH/neo-3 and NIH/neo-5). We also found that in a liquid medium, NIH/λ2S-3 and NIH/λ2S-6 grew more slowly than NIH/neo-3 and NIH/neo-5 and that the doubling times of the former were about 10 h slower than those of the latter. To investigate the effects of His321 on the signal transduction pathway necessary for cell growth, we stimulated the cell lines by prostaglandin E1 (PGE1), a platelet-derived growth factor (PDGF), or the epidermal growth factor (EGF). Although stimulation by PGE1 increased intercellular cyclic AMP in R1 cells, it did not do so in NIH/λ2S-3 and NIH/λ2S-6 cells. On the other hand, stimulation by PDGF or EGF induced far less DNA synthesis in NIH/λ2S-3 and NIH/λ2S-6 than in NIH/neo-3 and NIH/neo5. These results suggest that through the effects on the signal transduction pathway of PDGF and/or EGF His321-mutated gelsolin inhibits the growth of NIH/3T3.  相似文献

vav, a novel human oncogene, was originally generated in vitro by replacement of its normal 5' coding sequences with sequences from pSV2neo DNA, cotransfected as a selectable marker (S. Katzav, D. Martin-Zanca, and M. Barbacid, EMBO J. 8:2283-2290, 1989). The vav proto-oncogene is normally expressed in cells of hematopoietic origin. To determine whether the 5' rearrangement of vav or its ectopic expression in NIH 3T3 cells contributes to its transforming potential, we isolated murine and human proto-vav cDNA clones as well as human genomic clones corresponding to the 5' end of the gene. Normal proto-vav was poorly transforming in NIH 3T3 cells, whereas truncation of its 5' end greatly enhanced its transforming activity. The relative failure of full-length proto-vav cDNA clones to transform NIH 3T3 cells indicates that the transforming activity of vav is not simply due to ectopic expression. Analysis of the predicted amino terminus of the vav proto-oncogene shows that it contains a helix-loop-helix domain and a leucine zipper motif similar to that of myc family proteins, though it lacks a basic region that is usually found adjacent to helix-loop-helix domains. Loss of the helix-loop-helix domain of proto-vav, either by truncation or by rearrangement with pSV2neo sequences, activates its oncogenic potential.  相似文献

UV-irradiated plasmids (pNPV B and pBSCATSV) were transfected into RBCF-1 cells derived from a goldfish (Carassius auratus) and into a xeroderma pigmentosum (group A) cell line, XP20SSV. The frequency of stable neor transformation by pNPV B decreased in a dose-dependent manner. However, in spite of large differences in UV sensitivity detected in the colony formation assay, the dose-response curves of RBCF-1 cells and XP20SSV cells were almost the same. The photorecovery (PR) of transforming activity of UV-irradiated plasmids was confirmed in RBCF-1 cells but its extent was much smaller than that observed in the survival assay. The expression of the transfected cat (chloramphenicol acetyltransferase; CAT) gene after 24-h incubation in the dark was much more sensitive to UV irradiation when compared with the stable transformation assay. The extent of PR of cat gene expression in RBCF-1 cells was high and comparable with that of the survival assay. The CAT value of RBCF-1 cells transfected with UV-irradiated plasmids relative to that of unirradiated controls increased as incubation time in the dark after transfection became longer. This suggests that the UV lesions on the plasmids transfected in the RBCF-1 cells were repaired in the dark. The cat gene expression of UV-irradiated plasmids in XP20SSV was very low and independent of incubation time after transfection.  相似文献

Human papillomavirus (HPV) type 16 DNA induces progressive transformation in NIH 3T3 cells. Two types of cell lines, PM3T3G0 and PM3T3Fo, were isolated by G418 or focus selection, respectively, after transfection of cells by a recombinant HPV 16 DNA carrying the neo gene. These cell lines exhibited distinct phenotypes compared with controls. Saturation densities of PM3T3G0 and PM3T3Fo lines were two- to three- and five- to sevenfold greater than that of control NIH 3T3 cells, respectively. Neither cell type required high serum for growth, in contrast to NIH 3T3 cells. PM3T3G0 lines were premalignant, whereas PM3T3Fo lines manifested tumorigenicity within 2 weeks. Subpopulations of three PM3T3G0 lines underwent progressive transformation as reflected by focus formation. Analysis of HPV 16-specific mRNA species demonstrated that high levels of early and late gene expression were detected in premalignant PM3T3G0 lines, whereas relatively low quantities of selected gene messages were expressed in malignant transformants. Thus, high levels of viral gene expression are not crucial for malignant transformation.  相似文献

This study demonstrates the involvement of phosphotyrosine phosphatases on the activity and regulation of GSH ATP-dependent transport system that we have previously identified in NIH3T3 fibroblasts. This is shown by the fact that increases of the initial rate of GSH uptake were measured in NIH3T3 overexpressing a synthetic gene coding for a low-Mr-phosphotyrosine protein phosphatase (LMW-PTP), while decreases were obtained in NIH3T3 overexpressing the phosphatase inactive mutant (LMW-C12SPTP), with respect to NIH3T3neo. Moreover, these results have been confirmed by experiments performed in the same cells by vanadate, and H2O2 treatment on both GSH transport and mediated passive transport of glucose. A possible regulation of this transport system by platelet-derived growth factor receptor (PDGFr) with tyrosine kinase activity is also demonstrated. Moreover, these data show a relationship among GSH, PDGFr and phosphotyrosine phosphatase activity, and suggest a role of GSH transport systems on the cell proliferation process.  相似文献

Chromosomal loci that are specifically active in embryonal carcinoma stem cells were cloned from the mouse genome by functional selection. P19 cells, a pluripotent embryonal carcinoma cell line, were transfected with an enhancer trap (a plasmid containing an enhancerless inactive neo gene), and NEO+ transformants were isolated. All of the NEO+ cell lines retained pluripotency and expressed the neo gene. When the cells were induced to differentiate, most of the cell lines continued to express the neo gene, while the neo gene in some cell lines became repressed. From the latter group of cell lines, we have cloned the integrated neo gene plus the flanking cellular DNA sequences. Three of the six cloned DNAs possessed a high NEO+-transforming activity in undifferentiated P19 cells. Among these three, two (015 and 052) were inactive in differentiated P19 cells and NIH 3T3 cells, while the remaining one was active in these differentiated cells. Deletion analysis suggested that both 015 and 052 contain two regulatory elements (promoter and enhancer) of cellular DNA origin. The putative enhancer and promoter are separated by at least 6 kilobases in 015 and 1 kilobase in 052. Therefore, 015 and 052 cloned fragments contain regulatory DNA elements that are specifically active in the embryonal carcinoma stem cells.  相似文献

High-efficiency transformation of mammalian cells by plasmid DNA.   总被引:649,自引:121,他引:528       下载免费PDF全文
We describe a simple calcium phosphate transfection protocol and neo marker vectors that achieve highly efficient transformation of mammalian cells. In this protocol, the calcium phosphate-DNA complex is formed gradually in the medium during incubation with cells and precipitates on the cells. The crucial factors for obtaining efficient transformation are the pH (6.95) of the buffer used for the calcium phosphate precipitation, the CO2 level (3%) during the incubation of the DNA with the cells, and the amount (20 to 30 micrograms) and the form (circular) of DNA. In sharp contrast to the results with circular DNA, linear DNA is almost inactive. Under these conditions, 50% of mouse L(A9) cells can be stably transformed with pcDneo, a simian virus 40-based neo (neomycin resistance) marker vector. The NIH3T3, C127, CV1, BHK, CHO, and HeLa cell lines were transformed at efficiencies of 10 to 50% with this vector and the neo marker-incorporated pcD vectors that were used for the construction and transduction of cDNA expression libraries as well as for the expression of cloned cDNA in mammalian cells.  相似文献

Phosphorylase kinase is a multimeric enzyme of composition (alpha, beta, gamma, delta)4 whose catalytic activity resides in the gamma-subunit. As an approach to understand further its regulation, a cDNA for the gamma-subunit of phosphorylase kinase (gamma PhK) has been cloned into a mammalian expression vector behind the mouse metallothionein-1 promoter. NIH 3T3 cells were co-transfected with this construct (pEV gamma PhK) and pSV2neo, G418-resistant clones were selected, and several were found to have stably incorporated the gamma-subunit cDNA into their genomic DNA. Phosphorylase kinase activity was clearly present in extracts from cultures of pEV gamma PhK-transformed cells and increased several-fold after 24 h of incubation with Zn2+, whereas it was undetectable in the parent 3T3 cells. A significant, but variable, proportion (15-70%) of the activity was Ca2+-dependent. We conclude that the phosphorylase kinase activity expressed by the cells transformed with pEV gamma PhK is due to free gamma-subunit and gamma-subunit associated with cellular calmodulin, which replaces the delta-subunit normally associated with the gamma-subunit in the holoenzyme.  相似文献
