Pathogenicity of the encephalomyocarditis (EMC) virus for adult mice was increased when polycations of diverse type were mixed with virus and inoculated by the subcutaneous or intraperitoneal routes. Diethylaminoethyl (DEAE) dextran, hexadimethrine (polybrene), polymyxin B, polylysine, and calf thymus histone in various concentrations stimulated multiplication of virus in tissues at the injection site and enhanced entry of virus into the blood. The nonpathogenic r(+) variant of EMC which grows locally in tissues but fails to disseminate after subcutaneous and intraperitoneal inoculation was used in most experiments. This virus caused viremia and fatal central nervous system disease only when the polycations were included in the inoculum. DEAE dextran and polybrene stimulated the release of interferon in infected tissues but had no effect in the absence of virus multiplication. Histological studies of tissues from the injection site showed that polycations provoke a mononuclear cell reaction and alter the integrity of connective tissue. However, the mechanism by which the substances enhance virus growth and dissemination was not defined. 相似文献

Addition of high molecular weight dextran to culture medium prevents the initiation of T lymphocyte-mediated killing by holding the cytolytic T lymphocytes (CTL) and target cells in suspension and preventing intercellular contact. Suspension in 10% dextran was used to interrupt the ongoing formation of adhesions between CTL and target cells already in contact in a centrifuged pellet. The results demonstrate that 1) firm adhesions form between CTL and target cells within 1 min at 37 degrees C; 2) once formed, these adhesions are stable at low temperature and are resistant to mechanical shearing forces; 3) these adhesions can be disrupted by EDTA; 4) immediately after the adhesions form, separation of the CTL from the target cells prevents lysis of the latter; 5) after incubation of targets adhering to CTL for an additional 6 min at 37 degrees C, removal of the CTL no longer prevents target cell lysis. Thus, target cells become "programmed" for subsequent lysis within a few minutes after contact with CTL, after which lysis occurs during the next several hours without further participation of the effector cell. At 15 degrees C, adhesions form 1/17 as fast as at 37 degrees C. Programming of target cells for lysis occurs 1/76 as fast at 15 degrees C as at 37 degrees C. Thus, the programming for lysis step is about 4-fold more temperature dependent than the adhesion step. In addition to being detected by subsequent target cell lysis in 10% dextran, the adhering cell clusters can be counted with low power microscopy. This permitted verification that EDTA separates the clusters after programming for lysis is complete. Moreover, the great majority of the clusters seen at 37 degrees C are antigen-specific. Knowledge of the cluster size distribution and the subsequent level of lysis permits the deduction that not less than 6% of the sensitized peritoneal cell populations used were CTL. 相似文献

Previous work in our laboratory indicates that the nuclear matrix protein lamin B is a "prompt" heat shock protein, which increases significantly when human U-1 melanoma and HeLa cells are exposed to 45.5 degrees C for 5-40 min. Using Western blotting, we found that the lamin B content in U-1 and HeLa cells increased to a greater extent during post-heat incubation at 37 degrees C than during the heat dose itself. When HeLa cells were heated at 45.5 degrees C for 30 min, and then incubated at 37 degrees C for up to 7 h, lamin B content was increased significantly (1.69-fold maximum increase at 3 h) compared to unincubated heated cells. Also, thermotolerant HeLa cells showed a greater increase (up to 1.72-fold) in lamin B content during subsequent heating compared to nontolerant cells. The increase in lamin B content in thermotolerant cells, or when heated cells were incubated at 37 degrees C, was also observed in U-1 cells. HeLa cells heated in the presence of glycerol (a heat protector) showed a 1.21-1.72-fold increase in lamin B content compared to cells heated for 10-30 min without glycerol. In contrast, lamin B content decreased 1.23-1.85-fold when cells were heated for 10-30 min in the presence of procaine (a heat sensitizer) compared to cells heated without procaine. These data suggest that lamin B may play an important role in the heat shock response, and that modulation of lamin B content by heat sensitizers or protectors may play a role in regulation of heat sensitivity. 相似文献

Effects of Elevated Temperatures on Mengovirus Ribonucleic Acid Synthesis and Virus Production in Novikoff Rat Hepatoma Cells 总被引:2,自引:2,他引:0
The production of mengovirus in Novikoff rat hepatoma cells is progressively reduced with an increase in incubation temperature of the cells from 34 to 40 C, in spite of the fact that about the same amounts of single-stranded and double-stranded viral ribonucleic acid (RNA) are synthesized at 34, 37, and 40 C; the rate of overall protein synthesis is as high at 40 C as at 37 C. At 40 C, progeny viral RNA accumulates in an undegraded form without being incorporated into virus particles. The results suggest that virus maturation is preferentially inhibited at supraoptimal temperatures. At 42 C, on the other hand, no viral RNA is produced and no viral RNA polymerase activity is detectable in cell lysates. Failure of infected cells to form viral RNA polymerase at 42 C is probably due to an impairment of protein synthesis since most of the polyribosomes are rapidly lost during incubation at 42 C and the rate of amino acid incorporation into protein is 70% lower at 42 C than at 37 C. When infected cells are shifted from 37 to 42 C during the period of active viral RNA synthesis, viral RNA polymerase activity is rapidly lost from the cells, and viral RNA synthesis ceases within 45 min. In contrast, the RNA polymerase is as active in vitro at 42 C as at 37 C, and the activity is relatively stable at 42 C. 相似文献

Hyperthermic treatment of HeLa cells at 42 degrees C for 60 min depressed the specific activity of these cells when incubated with 3H-uridine both during and post heating compared to cells maintained at 37 degrees C. These changes were unlikely to arise from increased leakage from the cells and may partially be attributed to membrane damage influencing facilitated diffusion. Diffusion kinetic data for incorporation of the radiolabel into the T.C.A. soluble and T.C.A. insoluble fractions of HeLa cells indicated that a significant depression of Vmax and a significant elevation of Km for incorporation of 3H UdR into RNA may possibly result from an isotope dilution effect attributed to degrading pre-ribosomal RNA under the effect of hyperthermia. 相似文献

Intracellular particle movements, of both saltatory and streaming types, in HeLa S-3 cells were simultaneously interrupted after 1 h exposure of cells to 43 degrees C, within 10 min at 44 degrees C and within 5 min at 45 degrees C. Intracellular movement inhibited after 15 min at 44 degrees C and 10 min at 45 degrees C was not reversible in cells rescued at 37 degrees C. Brownian motion was not observed in heat-treated cells while they were maintained at elevated temperatures, but became pronounced in blebbing which occurred shortly after they were returned to 37 degrees C. Returning these cells to 45 degrees C intensified the Brownian activity inside blebs, and rapidly induced cell lysis. The same heat-treated cells were simultaneously studied by laser-Doppler microscopy, which confirmed: a) that flow (cytoplasmic streaming) is completely arrested at 44 degrees C within 10 min, b) flow recovered in 10-15 min in cells rescued after 10-15 min at 44 degrees C, c) submicroscopic particles down to the size of water molecules had faster self-diffusion coefficients at 44 degrees C than at 37 degrees C. Proton nmr studies on cells exposed from 4 to 45 degrees C gave corrected relaxation times T1 and T2 which rose with temperature in a predictable manner. Inhibition of cellular movement at elevated temperatures was not specifically attributable to the depletion of intracellular ATP levels. 相似文献

The infectivity of intact poliovirus was not affected by exposure to the antibiotic phleomycin at concentrations as high as 200 mug/ml, whereas that of the singlestranded poliovirus ribonucleic acid (RNA) was inactivated to 99% by pretreatment of the RNA with phleomycin at a concentration of 2 mug/ml. The infectivity of double and multistranded RNA was 10 times less sensitive than that of singlestranded RNA to the action of this antibiotic. Preincubation of HeLa cells for 30 min with 10 to 50 mug of phleomycin reduced the sensitivity of the cells to infection by viral RNA and intact virus, indicating that phleomycin interferes with cellular functions necessary for virus replication. When phleomycin was added to cells at different times after infection with single- or double-stranded RNA, the highest inactivation of infective centers was observed immediately after infection. With time of incubation at 37 C, the infective centers became more resistant to the action of phleomycin. 相似文献

A Vero cell adapted Green strain of canine distemper virus (CDV) was tested for its plaque-forming capacity in different cell lines. Plaque formation was observed in HEp-2, BS-C-1, and HeLa cells but not in Vero or dog kidney cells even though replication and cytopathology were observed in the latter cell types. In the cells in which the virus was capable of producing plaques, the plaques were observed within 24 h post infection and continued to increase in size with subsequent cellular destruction such that by 72 h postinfection the size of the plaques approached 0.5 mm. With the use of the plaquing technique, it was possible to demonstrate the thermal lability of the virus as well as the kinetics of adsorption. Thus, it was shown that the half-life of the virus was 125 min at 25 degrees C, 75 min at 35 degrees C, and 65 min at 37 degrees C. The rate of adsorption of CDV to HEp-2 cells was 17.2% in 30 min at 37 degrees C and continued slowly for 4 h before completion. Application of this rapid plaque-forming assay to plaque-reduction tests for CDV antibody and for CDV-infected cells by the infectious center assay are described. 相似文献

The physicochemical properties of size, shape and surface charge have been determined for the soluble fraction of cytoplasmic glucocorticoid receptors which are located in the HeLa S3 cell cytoplasm after incubation of whole cells with glucocorticoid at 37 degrees C. Under hypotonic buffer conditions approximately 80% of the total recovered [3H]triamcinolone acetonide receptor complexes sedimented through a 5-20% density gradients to the tube bottom, and approximately 90% eluted from a Sephacryl S-300 gel exclusion column in the void volume. Increasing the [KCl] of the buffer in the sucrose density gradients, and gel exclusion columns to 0.15 M caused a reduction in the percentage of this large aggregate to approximately 64% and approximately 75%, respectively. Further increases in the [KCl] during analysis to 0.4 M reduced the percentage of rapidly sedimenting receptors to approximately 62%, and shifted the sedimentation coefficient of the slower sedimenting receptors from approximately 5.2 S to 3.9 S. These conditions also decreased the fraction of receptor in the void volume of gel exclusion columns to 67%. Ion exchange analysis of receptor binding to DEAE cellulose, hydroxylapatite, phosphocellulose, and DNA cellulose revealed heterogenous populations of receptor species; comprising both "unactivated" and "activated" receptor forms. The ratios of unactivated/activated receptors was highly dependent on the matrix employed and differed substantially among those evaluated. For example, by the criteria of DEAE cellulose and phosphocellulose chromatography approximately 60% of the total 37 degrees C cytoplasmic receptors were in the "activated" state. A large fraction of these receptors, however, failed to bind to DNA cellulose. These results demonstrate that the glucocorticoid receptors which remain in the HeLa S3 cytoplasm at 37 degrees C do not bind to ion exchange materials, which are used as indexes of receptor "activation," in a uniform manner. We hypothesize that the diminished DNA binding capability of these receptors accounts for their cellular localization in the HeLa S3 cell cytoplasm at 37 degrees C. 相似文献

Separation and quantitation of intracellular forms of poliovirus RNA by agarose gel electrophoresis.
Intracellular poliovirus-specific RNA species can be measured directly by electrophoresis of total cytoplasmic nucleic acids through 1% agarose gels, resulting in the separation of single- and double-stranded forms of poliovirus RNA from each other and from HeLa cell 28S ribosomal RNA. Single-stranded RNA molecules differing by only 15% in length are resolved in this gel system. RNA species can be visualized as fluorescen bands appearing after staining of the gels with ethidium bromide and observation under ultraviolet illumination. The total amount of RNA can be determined by densitometric quantitation of the fluorescent response. In this way, the amount of poliovirus-specific RNA within the cytoplasm of HeLa cells infected for various times has been estimated. At 170-min postinfection, there are 0.67 X 10(5) molecules of single-stranded poliovirus RNA per cell and at 230 min, the amount has increased to 3.7 X 10(5) molecules/cell. Poliovirus double-strnaded RNA reaches a maximum of 0.7 X 10(5) molecules/cell at 330 min after infection. 相似文献

5,6-Dichloro-1-beta-D-ribofuranosylbenzimidazole (DRB) inhibits RNA synthesis in L-929 cells (mouse fibroblast line) and HeLa cells (human epitheloid carcinoma line) within 2 min of addition of the compound to the medium. By removing DRB from the medium, the inhibition is promptly and completely reversed after treatment of cells for as long as 1 h or even longer. The inhibitory effect of DRB on the overall rate of RNA synthesis is similar in L and HeLa cells and is markedly concentration-dependent in the low dose range (5-20 muM or 1.6-6.4 mug/ml), but not as higher concentrations of DRB. At a concentration of 12 muM, DRB has a highly selective inhibitory effect on the synthesis of nuclear heterogenous RNA in L cells. At higher concentrations, there is also inhibition of 45 S ribosomal precursor RNA synthesis, but at all concentrations the effect on heterogeneous RNA synthesis in L cells in considerably greater than that on preribosomal RNA synthesis. In HeLa cells, too, DRB has a selective effect on heterogeneous RNA synthesis, but quantitatively the selectivity of action is somewhat less pronounced. In both L and HeLa cells, the inhibition of synthesis of nuclear heterogeneous RNA is incomplete even at very high concentrations of DRB (150 muM). Thus, while DRB is a selective inhibitor of nuclear heterogeneous RNA synthesis, not all such RNA synthesis is sensitive to inhibition. It is proposed that messenger precursor RNA synthesis may largely be sensitive to inhibition by DRB. In short-term experiments, DRB has no effect on protein synthesis in L or HeLa cells. DRB has a slight to moderate inhibitory effect on uridine uptake into L cells and a moderate to marked effect on uptake of uridine into HeLa cells. 相似文献

Mouse cells expressing the human poliovirus receptor (PVR-mouse cells) as well as human HeLa cells are susceptible to poliovirus type 1 Mahoney strains and produce a large amount of progeny virus at 37 degrees C. However, the virus yield is markedly reduced at 40 degrees C in PVR-mouse cells but not in HeLa cells. The reduction in virus yield at 40 degrees C appears to be due to a defective initiation process in positive-strand RNA synthesis (K. Shiroki, H. Kato, S. Koike, T. Odaka, and A. Nomoto, J. Virol. 67:3989-3996, 1993). To gain insight into the molecular mechanisms involved in this detective process, naturally occurring heat-resistant (Hr)-mutants which show normal growth ability in PVR-mouse cells even at 40 degrees C were isolated from a virus stock of the Mahoney strain and their mutation sites that affect the phenotype were identified. The key mutation was a change from adenine (A) to guanine (G) at nucleotide position (nt) 133 within the 5' noncoding region of the RNA. This mutation also gave an Hr phenotype to the viral plus-strand RNA synthesis in PVR-mouse cells. Mutant Mahoney strains with a single point mutation at nt 133 (A to G, C, or T or deletion) were investigated for their ability to grow in PVR-mouse cells at 40 degrees C. Only the mutant carrying G at nt 133 showed an Hr growth phenotype in PVR-mouse cells. These results suggest that a host cellular factor(s) interacts with an RNA segment around nt 133 of the plus-strand RNA or the corresponding region of the minus-strand RNA, contributing to efficiency of plus-strand RNA synthesis. 相似文献

Characterization of nonactivated and activated glucocorticoid-receptor complexes from intact rat thymus cells 总被引:4,自引:0,他引:4

In cells exposed to glucocorticoids at 37 degrees C activated glucocorticoid-receptor complexes (complexes with affinity for nuclei and DNA) are formed after nonactivated complexes. Activation thus appears to be an obligatory physiological process. To investigate this process we have characterized cytoplasmic complexes formed in rat thymocytes at 0 and 37 degrees C. Complexes in cytosols stabilized with molybdate were analyzed by sucrose gradient centrifugation and by chromatography on DNA-cellulose, DEAE-cellulose, and agarose gels. Two major complexes were observed: the nonactivated complex, eluted from DEAE at approximately 200 mM KCl, was formed at 0 and 37 degrees C, gave S20,w = 9.2 S, Stokes radius = 8.3 nm, and calculated Mr = 330,000; the activated complex, eluted from DEAE at approximately 50 mM KCl, appeared only at 37 degrees C, gave S20,w = 4.8 S, Stokes radius = 5.0 nm, and Mr = 100,000. A third, minor complex, probably mero-receptor, which appeared mainly at 37 degrees C, bound to neither DNA nor DEAE, and gave S20,w = 2.9 S, Stokes radius = 2.3 nm, and Mr = 27,000. With three small columns in series (DNA-cellulose, DEAE-cellulose and hydroxylapatite), the three complexes can be separated in 5-10 min. By this method we have examined the stability of complexes under our conditions. We conclude that in intact thymus cells glucocorticoid-receptor complexes occur principally in two forms, nonactivated and activated, and that activation is accompanied by a large reduction in size. The origin of the mero-receptor complex remains uncertain. 相似文献

The spreading of HeLa cells on plastic substratum is mediated by fibronectin-depleted foetal calf serum but not by fibronectin isolated by gelatin-Sepharose affinity chromatography. The same is true for freshly explanted chick embryonic chondrocytes. In contrast, BHK cell spreading exceeds 67% after 120 min at 37 degrees C in fibronectin-supplemented (10 micrograms ml-1) serum-free medium. Long-term cultivation of HeLa cells in Eagle's MEM supplemented with fibronectin-free serum is associated with the accumulation of cells in mitosis or before cytokinesis; many cells die and the remaining living cells, characterized by marked changes in morphology, multiply very slowly. It can be concluded therefore that fibronectin does not produce spreading in HeLa cells but forces them into mitosis. 相似文献

We studied the cellular regulation of vesicle exocytosis by Entamoeba histolytica utilizing release of endocytosed 125iodine (125I) labeled tyrosine conjugated dextran; 125I-dextran entered the acid pH vesicles of the amebae and was not degraded during these studies. Exocytosis was temperature dependent with 74%, 36%, 4%, and 0% of 125I-dextran released after 120 min at 37 degrees C, 31 degrees C, 25 degrees C, and 4 degrees C, respectively (P less than 0.01 for each). Exocytosis at 37 degrees C was inhibited by cytochalasin D (10 micrograms/ml), EDTA (10 mM), or the putative intracellular calcium antagonist TMB-8 (250 microM) (P less than 0.01 for each at greater than or equal to 60 min). Calcium ionophore A23187 (1 microM) enhanced exocytosis at 5 and 15 min (P less than 0.01). Elevation of vesicle pH with NH4Cl (10 mM) had no effect on release of 125I-dextran; phorbol myristate acetate (10(-6) M) increased exocytosis by 46% at 30 min (P less than 0.01). Centrifugation of amebae with target Chinese hamster ovary cells resulted in decreased 125I-dextran release into the cell supernatant after 30 and 60 min at 37 degrees C (by 40% and 42%, respectively, P less than 0.01); release of 125I-dextran returned to control values with addition of 1.0 g% galactose or GalNac but not with mannose or N-acetyl-D-glucosamine. Amebic phagocytosis of serum-exposed latex beads had no effect on release of dextran by amebae (n = 16). Exocytosis of acid pH vesicles by E. histolytica is temperature-, microfilament-, and calcium-dependent, and stimulated by phorbol esters. 相似文献

The binding of Ricinus communis lectins to HeLa cells, Sarcoma 180 ascites tumor cells and human erythrocytes was studied in detail. Scatchard plots of binding of 125I-lectins to these cells gave biphasic lines except for HeLa cells at 0 degree C. The association constants of lectins for the three cell types at 37 degrees C were lower than those at 0 degree C. The numbers of total binding sites were estimated to be 7 to 16 X 10(7) per HeLa cell, 3 to 4 X 10(7) per Sarcoma 180 ascites tumor cell and 0.4 to 1 X 10(6) per erythrocyte. A fraction, 16 to 27% of the total amount of cell-bound lectin at 37 degrees C, appeared to be bound irreversibly as judged by non-removal on washing with 0.1 M lactose, whereas no lectin was irreversibly bound at 0 degree C. In the case of erythrocytes, no lectin became irreversibly bound even at 37 degrees C. The toxicity of lectins on HeLa cells and Sarcoma 180 ascites tumor cells was investigated. The toxicity of ricin D was 50 times for Sarcoma 180 ascites tumor cells and 140 times for HeLa cells as much as that for castor bean hemagglutinin. As to the sensitivities of both cell types to these lectins, it became apparent that Sarcoma 180 ascites tumor cells were more susceptible than HeLa cells. 相似文献

Infection of HeLa cells by mixtures of standard poliovirus and defective, interfering (DI) poliovirus particles leads to a higher ratio of DI particles in the progeny than in the inoculum. The extent of this enrichment could be varied by various manipulations of the co-infected cells. At any time during the infection cycle, virions made within short times after addition of radioactive uridine were hyperenriched in DI particles; this transient hyperenrichment fell to the equilibrium enrichment level within 45 min after uridine addition. A shift of the temperature of infection from 37 to 31 C also led to a hyperenrichment of DI particles and pulse-labeling revealed a superimposed transient hyperenrichment. By contrast, cells continuously infected at 31 C showed a severe decrement in DI particles apparently because poliovirus DI particles behave as cold-sensitive mutants for RNA synthesis. Cycloheximide treatment early in the infection cycle also led to hyperenrichment. Study of the cycloheximide effect showed that the drug acted as if to change the input ratio of standard to DI particles. These effects on enrichment can be explained as aspects of two different phenomena: enrichment due to preferential DI RNA synthesis and enrichment due to preferential encapsidation of DI RNA. Both mechanisms probably play a role in the normal level of enrichment. 相似文献
