Sodium butyrate (3 mM) inhibited the entry into the S phase of quiescent 3T3 cells stimulated by serum, but had no effect on the accumulation of cellular ribonucleic acid. Simian virus 40 infection or manual microinjection of cloned fragments from the simian virus 40 A gene caused quiescent 3T3 cells to enter the S phase even in the presence of butyrate. NGI cells, a line of 3T3 cells transformed by simian virus 40, grew vigorously in 3 mM butyrate. Homokaryons were formed between G1 and S-phase 3T3 cells, Butyrate inhibited the induction of deoxyribonucleic acid synthesis that usually occurs in B1 nuclei when G1 cells are fused with S-phase cells. However, when G1 3T3 cells were fused with exponentially growing NGI cells, the 3T3 nuclei were induced to enter deoxyribonucleic acid synthesis. In tsAF8 cells, a ribonucleic acid polymerase II mutant that stops in the G1 phase of the cell cycle, no temporal sequence was demonstrated between the butyrate block and the temperature-sensitive block. These results confirm previous reports that certain virally coded proteins can induce cell deoxyribonucleic acid synthesis in the absence of cellular functions that are required by serum-stimulated cells. Our interpretation of these data is that butyrate inhibited cell growth by inhibiting the expression of genes required for the G0 leads to G1 leads to S transition and that the product of the simian virus 40 A gene overrode this inhibition by providing all of the necessary functions for the entry into the S phase.  相似文献

tsAF8 cells are temperature-sensitive (ts) mutants of BHK-21 cells that arrest at the nonpermissive temperature in the G1 phase of the cell cycle. When made quiescent by serum restriction, they can be stimulated to enter the S phase by 10% serum at 34 degrees C, but not at 40.6 degrees C. Infection by adenovirus type 2 or type 5 stimulates cellular DNA synthesis in tsAF8 cells at both 34 and 40.6 degrees C. Infection of these cells with deletion Ad5dl312, Ad5dl313, Ad2 delta p305, and Ad2+D1) and temperature-sensitive (H5ts125, H5ts36) mutants of adenovirus indicates that the expression of both early regions 1A and 2 is needed to induce quiescent tsAF8 cells to enter the S phase at the permissive temperature. This finding has been confirmed by microinjection of selected adenovirus DNA fragments into the nucleus of tsAF8 cells. In addition, we have shown that additional viral functions encoded by early regions 1B and 5 are required for the induction of cellular DNA synthesis at the nonpermissive temperature.  相似文献

Cytoplasmic regulation of two G1-specific temperature-sensitive functions   总被引:4,自引:0,他引:4

tsAF8 and ts13 cells are temperature-sensitive (ts) mutants of BHK cells that specifically arrest, at nonpermissive temperature, in the G1 phase of the cell cycle. These two mutants can complement each other. Both cell lines can be made quiescent by serum deprivation (G0). When subsequently stimulated by serum, they can enter S phase at 34 degrees C but not at 39.5 degrees-40.6 degrees C. We have used these mutants to determine whether the nucleus is needed during the G0 leads to S transition for the expression of the G1 ts functions. For this purpose, we fused cytoplasts of G0-tsAF8 with whole ts13 cells in G0, and cytoplasts of G0-ts13 with whole tsAF8 cells in G0. Serum stimulation at the nonpermissive temperature induced DNA synthesis in both types of such fusion products. No DNA synthesis was induced by serum stimulation at the nonpermissive temperature in fusion products constructed between either G0-tsAF8 cytoplasts and whole G0-tsAF8 cells or G0-ts13 cytoplasts and whole G0-ts13 cells. These results demonstrate that the information for these two ts functions, which are required for entry of serum-stimulated cells into the S phase, are already present in the cytoplasm of G0 cells--that is, before serum stimulation commits them to the transition from the nonproliferating to the proliferating state.  相似文献

The expression of genes coding for the four core histones (H2A, H2B, H3, and H4) was studied in tsAF8 cells. These baby hamster kidney-derived cells are a temperature-sensitive (ts) mutant of the cell cycle that arrest in G1 at the restrictive temperature. When serum-deprived tsAF8 cells are stimulated with serum, they enter the S phase at the permissive temperature of 34 degrees C, but are blocked in G1 at the nonpermissive temperature of 39.6 degrees C. Northern blot analysis using cloned human histone DNA probes detected only very low levels of histone RNA either in quiescent tsAF8 cells or in cells serum stimulated at the nonpermissive temperature for 24 h. Cellular levels of histone RNA were markedly increased in cells serum stimulated at 34 degrees C for 24 h. Temperature shift-up experiments after serum stimulation of quiescent populations showed that the amount of histone RNA was related to the number of cells that entered the S phase. Those cells that synthesized histone RNA and entered the S phase were capable of dividing. This is the first demonstration in a mammalian G1-specific ts mutant that the expression of H2A, H2B, H3, and H4 histone genes depends on the entry of cells into the S phase of the cell cycle.  相似文献

HeLa cells in S phase induce DNA synthesis in cycling cells, serum-deprived quiescent cells, and non-replicative senescent cells following cell fusion. In contrast normal human diploid fibroblasts (HDF) do not induce DNA synthesis in either quiescent cells or senescent cells. Instead, the replicative HDF nuclei are inhibited from entering S phase in heterokaryons formed with these two types of non-replicative cells. These differences in the inducing capabilities of normal HDF and HeLa cells raise the question whether normal HDF in S phase can induce DNA synthesis in cycling cells. This paper demonstrates that young HDF in S phase can induce DNA synthesis in cycling HDF. Thus, the hypothesis that initiation of DNA synthesis in cycling cells is positively controlled by inducer molecules appears to be valid for normal HDF as well as for transformed cells such as HeLa.  相似文献

The mechanism for cessation of proliferation in density-inhibited quiescent human diploid fibroblasts (HDF) and serum-deprived quiescent HDF was compared in two ways. Density-inhibited HDF were fused to either replicating HDF or SV40-transformed HDF and DNA synthesis was measured in the resulting heterokaryons. DNA synthesis was inhibited in the replicating HDF nuclei in heterokaryons in a way that suggested that entry into S phase was blocked, but ongoing DNA synthesis was not inhibited. In contrast, DNA synthesis was induced in the quiescent nuclei in heterokaryons formed with SV40-transformed HDF. Previous experiments had shown that serum-deprived HDF also behave in this way in heterokaryons. To test this similarity further, we examined the inhibitory activity of cell membranes prepared from both types of quiescent HDF. We found that both types of quiescent HDF contain DNA synthesis-inhibitory activity that is (1) effective on replicating HDF; (2) ineffective on SV40-transformed HDF; (3) sensitive to heat and trypsin. Thus, these results support the hypothesis that both density-inhibited HDF and serum-deprived HDF share a common mechanism for arrest in G1 phase. They also suggest that a membrane-bound protein plays a role in the inhibition of DNA synthesis in quiescent HDF.  相似文献

tsAF8, ts13, tsHJ-4, and TK?ts13 cells are G1-specific temperature-sensitive (ts) mutants of BHK cells that do not enter S phase when serumstimulated from quiescence at nonpermissive temperature (39.6°-40.6°). TK?ts13 are, in addition, defective in thymidine kinase. Different G1 functions must be involved in these cells, since the first three cell lines complement each other when forming heterokaryons. We have used these cells to study the role of the nucleus in the cytoplasmic expression of these G1 functions during the transition of cells from the non-proliferating to the proliferating state. We fused cytoplasts from either serumstarved (G0) or serum-stimulated (S) tsAF8 cells with G0-ts13, G0-tsHJ-4, and G0-TK?ts13 recipient cells and determined, after serum stimulation of the fusion products, which type of cytoplasts could complement the defective G1 functions. Cytoplasts from S-tsAF8 cells complemented all three functions, i.e., cybridoids between S phase cytoplasts and ts13 or tsHJ-4 recipient cells entered S at the nonpermissive temperature, and TK?ts13 recipient cells incorporated exogenous thymidine. Cytoplasts isolated from G0-tsAF8 cells (3 days of serum starvation) complemented ts13 cells but not tsHJ-4 and TK?ts13 cells. Cytoplasts from 6-day starved tsAF8 cells lost the complementing capacity for ts13 cells. However, when the 6-day starved tsAF8 cells were fused with G0-ts13 cells, the heterokaryons entered S phase at the nonpermissive temperature. Also, cytoplasts isolated from the 6-day starved cells that were serum stimulated for 40 hr before enucleation regained the capacity to complement ts13 cells. These results demonstrate that three functions required in G1 cannot be detected in the cytoplasm of serum-starved cells, although they are present in the cytoplasm of S-phase cells. These results suggest that a functional nucleus is required for the cytoplasmic appearance of certain G1 functions in serumstimulated cells.  相似文献

Hepatocytes from mouse liver with experimental post-toxic cirrhosis (received by means of 10-12 inhalations with CCl4) were fused with serum-deprived (0.2%) resting NIH 3T3 mouse fibroblasts to elucidate mechanisms of liver stroma cells proliferation at cirrhosis. After fusion, nuclei of fibroblasts in such heterokaryons were found to enter into S-period without any exogenous stimulation of cell proliferation (in the medium with low content of serum). The obtained data allow us to suggest that hepatocytes from mouse liver with experimental post-toxic cirrhosis can produce and secrete into the medium (blood) factor (s) capable of stimulating the mesenchymal origin cell proliferation.  相似文献

Cytoplasts prepared from fibroblasts arrested by hydroxyurea were fused with serum-arrested, quiescent fibroblasts. In contrast to unfused mon-nucleated cells in the same culture, a sizable fraction of these cybridoids entered S phase in the absence of extracellular serum stimulation. Because DNA synthesis commenced only after a considerable lag following fusion, it was concluded that the cytoplasts contain factors which initiate the progression of quiescent cells toward S phase.  相似文献

We have investigated the capacity of a murine cell line with a temperature-sensitive (ts) mutation in the DNA polymerase α (Pola) locus and a series of ts non-Pola mutant cell lines from separate complementation groups to stimulate DNA synthesis, in senescent fibroblast nuclei in heterokaryons. In the Pola mutant × senescent heterodikaryons, both human and murine nuclei display significantly diminished levels of DNA synthesis at the restrictive temperature (39.5°C) as determined by [3H]thymidine labeling in autoradiographs. In contrast, all of the non-Pola mutants, as well as the parental (wild-type) murine cells, induced similar levels of DNA synthesis in both parental nuclei at the nonpermissive and permissive temperatures. Similarly, young human fibroblasts are also able to initiate DNA synthesis in heterokaryons with the ts Pola mutant at the two temperatures. In order to determine if complementation of the non-Pola mutants requires induction of serum responsive factors in the senescent cells, fusion studies of similar design were conducted with young and old human fibroblasts incubated in low serum (0.2%) for 48 hr prior to and after cell fusion. Again, a diminished level of DNA synthesis was observed at 39.5°C in the Pola mutant x senescent cell heterokaryons. In these low-serum studies, both parental nuclei in the Pola x young cell heterokaryons and the human nuclei in heterokaryons with one of the non-Pola mutants (FT107) also displayed diminished levels of DNA synthetic activity. All of the other mutants are able to support similar levels of synthetic activity at both temperatures in the presence of reduced serum. The nature of the mutation in three of the non-Pola lines has not been determined but, like the Pola mutant cells, are inhibited in the G1 phase of the cell cycle when incubated at the nonpermissive temperature (39.5°C). The fourth non-Pola mutant line is known to have at least one ts mutation in the cdc2 gene and is inhibited in the G2 phase when exposed to 39.5°C. These results suggest that there may be a functional deficiency of pol α in senescent human fibroblasts, and this replication factor may be one of the rate-limiting factors involved in loss of the capacity to initiate DNA synthesis in senescent cells. © 1994 Wiley-Liss, Inc.  相似文献

Resident peritoneal mouse macrophages (non-dividing differentiated cells) were fused with mouse embryo fibroblasts (cells with a limited lifespan), NIH 3T3 and C3H 10T 1/2 cells ('immortal' cell lines) and SV 3T3 cells (a malignant cell line). DNA synthesis was investigated in the resultant heterokaryons. No inhibitory effect upon the transition of NIH 3T3 and mouse embryo fibroblasts nuclei to the S-phase was observed. C3H 10T 1/2, NIH 3T3 and SV 3T3 cells induced the reactivation of DNA synthesis in the macrophage nuclei in the heterokaryons. At the same time, no replication was detected in the macrophage nuclei after fusion with mouse embryo fibroblasts.  相似文献

Summary tsAF8 cells area temperature-sensitive (ts) mutant of BHK cells that arrest in the G1 phase of the cell cycle at the non-permissive temperature of 40.6 °C. Previous reports had suggesed that the temperature-sensitivity of these cells was based on a defect in either the synthesis, assembly or turnover of RNA polymerase II. We now show that the direct microinjection of purified RNA polymerase 11 into nuclei of tsAF8 cells corrects the ts defect and allows these cells to enter the S phase of the cell cycle.  相似文献

Serum-deprived (0.2%) resting and serum-stimulated (10%) proliferating NIH 3T3 mouse fibroblasts were fused with hepatocytes from intact, regenerating and embryonic mouse livers to elucidate mechanisms of liver cell proliferation, DNA synthesis being investigated in nuclei of heterokaryons and non-fused cells using radioautography. Hepatocytes in heterokaryons were found to have no inhibitory effect on the entry of stimulated fibroblast nuclei into the S-period, but on the contrary they were involved in DNA synthesis. In addition, the nuclei in heterokaryons mutually stimulated each other to enter the S-period. In their turn, the resting fibroblasts did not prevent the proliferating hepatocytes from the regenerating and embryonic livers to enter the S-period. Possible reasons of the absence of inhibitory effect of differentiated cells in heterokaryons are discussed. The data obtained enable us to conclude that the mechanism of proliferative process control in resting immortalized cells differs from that in differentiated cells where proliferation seems to be stopped without affecting the endogenous inhibitor postulated for the resting and ageing fibroblasts.  相似文献

Hepatocyte proliferation in the liver regenerating after partial hepatectomy ceases when the organ is restored, and the mechanism of this phenomenon is still unclear. In the experiments on fusing hepatocytes from the regenerated mouse liver (15 days after partial hepatectomy) with NIH 3T3 mouse fibroblasts, we revealed no DNA synthesis in the nuclei of stimulated fibroblasts in heterokaryons (in the presence of hepatocyte nuclei), whereas DNA synthesis in nonfused cells was undisturbed. In this work, our purpose was to find out whether the suppression of DNA synthesis in heterokaryons could be due to the appearance in hepatocytes of some endogenous factors having an inhibitory effect on proliferation. To this end, hepatocytes from the mouse liver regenerated after partial hepatectomy were treated with cycloheximide for 1–4 h and were then fused with stimulated fibroblasts. Such a short-term treatment of hepatocytes with cycloheximide proved to result in the loss of their ability to inhibit DNA synthesis in the nuclei of stimulated or quiescent fibroblasts in heterokaryons, but hepatocytes proper actively proliferated in the medium with a low serum content (0.2%). When the mice with the liver regenerated after partial hepatectomy were treated with a single sublethal dose of cycloheximide (3 mg/kg), their hepatocytes taken two days after this treatment had no inhibitory effect. Puromycin, another inhibitor of protein synthesis, had the same effect on hepatocytes. These results may be interpreted as evidence that the final stage of liver regeneration after damage is controlled by the factors having a negative effect on cell proliferation.  相似文献

Several types of culture cells with limited life span (rat embryo fibroblasts, rat chondrocytes and mouse premacrophages) were found to be unable to induce the reactivation of DNA synthesis in the nuclei of non-dividing differentiated cells (mouse peritoneal resident macrophages) in heterokaryons. By contrast, malignant HeLa cells have this ability. In heterokaryons formed by fusion of mouse macrophages with HE239 cells (Syrian hamster fibroblasts transformed with a ts mutant of the SV40 virus), DNA synthesis in macrophage nuclei is reactivated only at the permissive temperature (33° C), at which viral T antigen is stable. Immortalization of rat chondrocytes by transfection with p53 gene enables to induce DNA synthesis in macrophage nuclei upon fusion. All the evidence indicates that the function of immortalizing oncogenes is necessary for the resumption of the DNA synthesis in macrophage nuclei in heterokaryons.  相似文献

Fusion of chick erythrocytes with human primary fibroblasts results in the formation of heterokaryons in which the inactive chick nuclei become reactivated. The expression of chick DNA repair functions was investigated by the analysis of the DNA repair capacity after exposure to ultraviolet (UV) irradiation of such heterokaryons obtained after fusion of chick erythrocytes with normal human or xeroderma pigmentosum (XP) cells of complementation groups A, B, C and D. Unscheduled DNA synthesis (UDS) in normal human nuclei in these heterokaryons is suppressed during the first 2–4 days after fusion. The extent and duration of this suppression is positively correlated with the number of chick nuclei in the heterokaryons. Suppression is absent in heterokaryons obtained after fusion of chicken embryonic fibroblasts with XP cells (complementation group A and C).Restoration of DNA repair synthesis is found after fusion in XP nuclei of all complementation groups studied. It occurs rapidly in XP group A nuclei, starting one day after fusion and reaching near normal human levels after 5–8 days. In nuclei of the B, C and D group increased levels of UDS are found 5 days after fusion. At 8 days after fusion the UDS level is about 50% of that found in normal human nuclei. The pattern of UDS observed in the chick nuclei parallels that of the human counterpart in the fusion. A fast complementation pattern is also observed in chick fibroblast-XP group A heterokaryons resulting within 24 h in a UDS level comparable with that in chick fibroblast-normal human heterokaryons. In heterokaryons obtained after fusion of chick fibroblasts with XP group C cells UDS remains at the level of chick cells. These data suggest that reactivation of chick erythrocyte nuclei results in expression of repair functions which are able to complement the defects in the XP complementation groups A, B, C and D.  相似文献

A temperature sensitive mutant of Rous sarcoma virus (tsNY68) was used to obtain cultures of quiescent virus-infected chicken embryo fibroblasts arrested by serum starvation at the non-permissive temperature. Upon shift to the permissive temperature, these cells enter the replicative cell cycle as evidenced by increases in 2-deoxyglucose uptake, 3H-thymidine incorporation and percent labeled nuclei. These changes occur in the absence of serum and the cells become morphologically transformed within eight to ten hours after the temperature shift. Entry into the S phase temporally resembles that of normal quiescent fibroblasts stimulated with serum. This experimental system was used to examine the proliferative response of transformed cells to serum and purified multiplication-stimulating activity (MSA) during the transition from the resting to the growing state. Data are presented which show that the presence of serum in the medium enhances the proliferative response of quiescent infected cells shifted to the permissive temperature over those shifted in the absence of serum. In contrast, the presence of MSA has no additional effect on the response exhibited by infected cells shifted to the permissive temperature in serum-free medium. Labeled MSA binding experiments show that this lack of response is not due to a loss of MSA receptors on the cell surface since transformed cells are still capable of binding MSA at the same level as normal cells. The results are consistent with the hypothesis that the set of biochemical events initiated by MSA in normal cells are turned on in infected cells shifted to the permissive temperature by the activation of the src gene product.  相似文献

Kinetics of G1 transit following brief starvation for serum factors   总被引:7,自引:0,他引:7  
Growing fibroblasts such as 3T3 cells are well-known to enter a quiescent state (G0) after many hours of serum deprivation. They emerge from G0 upon readdition of serum and initiate DNA synthesis about 12 h later. In this paper, we analyzed the effects of brief periods of serum deprivation on the ability of cells in G1 to initiate DNA synthesis. Exponentially growing 3T3 fibroblasts were briefly deprived of serum and their progress into S phase was monitored by autoradiography of labeled nuclei. When 10% serum was added back to cultures deprived of serum for a few hours, the progress of G1 cells into S phase was delayed for intervals far in excess of the length of the serum deprivation. Longer serum starvations resulted in longer excess delays. Several transformed 3T3 derivatives were markedly less sensitive to this serum-induced G1 regression following deprivation. When 1 microgram/ml insulin (rather than 10% serum) was added back to the starved cultures, the G1 cells entered S phase immediately. Delay in S phase entry following serum readdition was completely prevented if insulin (and, to a lesser extent, EGF) was present during the starvation, was diminished if a lower serum concentration was used for readdition, and was partially abolished if 10% serum plus insulin was restored to the cultures. The above results, then, suggest that serum deprivation sensitizes the cells to an unidentified serum component which sets the cells back in G1, unless insulin is present to maintain the flow of cells into S.  相似文献

Deprivation of growth factors has been shown to induce programmed cell death in many cell types, including mouse 3T3 fibroblasts. Programmed cell death (apoptosis) is an active process of self-destruction which is thought to require the expression of unique genes. Recently, the expression of cell cycle genes such as c-fos and c-myc, and re-entrance to cell cycle traverse, are thought to be necessary to induce programmed cell death. Previous work in this laboratory has shown that statin is a nonproliferation-specific nuclear protein present in the nuclei of young quiescent or senescent human fibroblasts, as well as in growth-arrested mouse 3T3 fibroblasts; we have reported that statin disappears rapidly after the blockage of growth arrest is removed and cells are allowed to resume cell cycle traverse. In this report we address the question of whether cells induced to enter the programmed cell death process also lose the expression of statin. We studied density-arrested quiescent mouse 3T3 cells, which undergo rapid cell death by apoptosis upon serum deprivation. Our results suggest that c-myc expression is induced, as previously reported in other systems of apoptotic death. Interestingly, we also find that statin indeed disappears after the induction of programmed cell death is initiated. These results further support the notion that when apoptosis is induced, cells behave as though released from replication arrest, and experience some part of the G1 phase of the cell cycle. The difference between this event and normal cell cycle traverse is that this experience of the G1 phase in the apoptotic process is an abortive one, with the end result of cell demise. © 1995 Wiley-Liss, Inc.  相似文献

The rapid increase in uridine uptake produced by the addition of serum to quiescent cultures of fibroblasts is primarily caused by an enhanced rate of nucleoside phosphorylation. While quiescent and serum-stimulated cells display identical initial rates of transport, they show a considerable change in the composition of the acid-soluble pools labelled with [3H] uridine for five seconds. The radioactivity recovered in the phosphorylated pools increases 2-, 3-, 4- and 6-fold after addition of serum to cultures of Swiss 3T3 cells, tertiary mouse embryo fibroblasts, Swiss 3T6 and Balb 3T3, cells respectively. Furthermore, insulin, a growth factor isolated from medium conditioned by SV40 BHK cells (FDGF) and epidermal growth factor (EGF) also stimulate uridine phosphorylation within minutes. The initial rate of uridine uptake is 2- to 3-fold faster in rapidly growing normal and Simian virus 40 or polyoma virus transformed 3T3 cells as compared to untransformed 3T3 cells in the quiescent state. When quiescent cultures of 3T3 or mouse embryo cells are stimulated to leave G1 and enter into DNA synthesis, transport increases several hours after addition of serum and apparently coincides with the S phase of the cell cycle. The results demonstrate that an increase in uridine phosphorylation is a rapid metabolic response elicited by growth-promoting agents in a variety of cell types and that uridine transport and phosphorylation are independently regulated.  相似文献
