The effect of cortisol on the ultrastructure of normal, leukemic, and cultured human lymphocytes during a 2-hr incubation was investigated. The presence of 10(-5) M cortisol in the incubation medium produced in normal lymphocytes a variety of alterations in cytoplasmic organelles. Mitochondria were most affected and showed evidence of irreversible deterioration (formation of myelin figures). Occasional cells demonstrated an overt rearrangement of their cytoplasmic membranes resulting in a bizarre array of parallel cisternae-like structures. More commonly, the usually underdeveloped Golgi of normal lymphocytes became very pronounced in structure. All of these alterations were produced within 2 hr of incubation, but only in normal human lymphocytes. Under identical conditions, no evidence of ultrastructural changes were produced by cortisol in either lymphocytes from chronic lymphocytic leukemic patients, or those from the RPMI 1788 cell line. 相似文献

Prostaglandins E (PGE) and F2 alpha (PGF2 alpha) were measured in lymphocytes of normal subjects, children with acute lymphocytic leukemia (ALL), and adults with chronic lymphocytic leukemia (CLL). In ALL lymphocytes PGE increased from a normal value of 25 pgrams to 270 pgrams/10(6) cells, and PGF 2 alpha increased from a normal value of 31 pgrams to 482 pgrams/10(6) cells. In CLL lymphocytes, levels of PGE and PGF2 alpha were normal or low. When normal lymphocytes were stimulated with phytohemagglutinin (PHA), the level of PGE and PGF2 alpha fluctuated, followed by corresponding changes in the level of cyclic nucleotides. In cultured ALL lymphocytes, the level of PGE remained high, while cyclic 3':5'-adenosine monophosphate (c-AMP) level was constantly low, and the initial level of PGF2 alpha fluctuated in relation to similar oscillations of cyclic 3':5'-guanosine monophosphate (c-GMP). These values were lower, although not significantly, when ALL lymphocytes were stimulated with PHA. When CLL lymphocytes were stimulated with PHA, the level of PGE remained low (20 pgrams), as did that of c-AMP. The level of PGF2 alpha, after a brief initial increase (130 pgrams), returned to and remained at a lower level (60 pgrams) while the level of c-GMP was persistently high. These results suggest: (1) prostaglandins may indirectly influence the cell cycle, possibly through modulation of cyclase activity and levels of cyclic nucleotides; and (2) some derangement of this regulatory mechanism may be present in leukemic lymphocytes. 相似文献

Prostaglandins E (PGE) and F2 (PGF2) were measured in lymphocytes of normal subjects, children with acute lymphocytic leukemia (ALL), and adults with chronic lymphocytic leukemia (CLL). In ALL lymphocytes PGE increased from a normal value of 25 pgrams to 270 pgrams/106 cells, and PGF2 increased from a normal value of 31 pgrams to 482 pgrams/106 cells. In CLL lymphocytes, levels of PGE and PGF2 were normal or low. When normal lymphocytes were stimulated with phytohemagglutinin (PHA), the level of PGE and PGF2 fluctuated, followed by corresponding changes in the level of cyclic nucleotides. In cultured ALL lymphocytes, the level of PGE remained high, while cyclic 3′:5′-adenosine monophosphate (c-AMP) level was constantly low, and the initial high level of PGF2 fluctuated in relation to similar oscillations of cyclic 3′:5′-guanosine monophosphate (c-GMP). These values were lower, although not significantly, when ALL lymphocytes were stimulated with PHA. When CLL lymphocytes were stimulated with PHA, the level of PGE remained low (20 pgrams), as did that of c-AMP. The level of PGF2, after a brief initial increase (130 pgrams), returned to and remained at a lower level (60 pgrams) while the level of c-GMP was persistently high.

Lymphocytes from normal and leukemic patients, and phytohemagglutinin-stimulated lymphocytes were investigated by means of immunofluorescence procedures and a silver reaction for the demonstration of proteins characteristic of nucleolus organizer regions in interphasic cells to provide basic information on the presence of satellite nucleoli in these cells. The results clearly indicated that satellite nucleoli are present in a limited but constant percentage of peripheral lymphocytes. An increased percentage of lymphocytes with satellite nucleoli was found only in leukemic patients and after silver staining. In contrast, a decreased percentage of satellite nucleoli was found 24 h after stimulation with phytohemagglutinin vitro. In leukemic patients, the discrepancy in the percentage of lymphocytes with satellite nucleoli between immunostained and silver-stained preparations may suggest that the silver reaction demonstrates the presence of an additional argyrophilic protein besides proteins B23 and C23, or altered forms of these proteins, which does not react with the specific antibodies. 相似文献

The NAD+ level in lymphocytes obtained from an individual with acute monocytic leukemia increased five-fold and then remained constant when the cells were adapted to growth in suspension culture. When the NAD+ level of established cells was lowered by means of a nicotinamide-poor medium or by the action of 1-methyl-1-nitrosourea, there was a concomitant decrease in the rate of DNA synthesis. These results indicate that there is a direct correlation between intracellular NAD+ and the synthesis of DNA in cultured leukemic lymphocytes. However, the exact nature of the relationship remains speculative. 相似文献

The ganglioside composition of bovine peripheral lymphocytes was shown to change sharply under lymphoid leukemia. In normal lymph, lymph nodes, spleen and blood lymphocytes the major ganglioside is N-glycolylhematoside, whereas in calf thymus lymphocytes appreciable amounts of more polar components (GM1- and GD1a-like gangliosides) were found. In leukemic lymphocytes isolated from the same tissues the hematoside content is decreased, while the amount of more polar gangliosides is increased. Possible causes of the altered ganglioside pattern in leukemic lymphocytes are discussed. 相似文献

The specific activity of cylic AMP phosphodiesterase and cyclic GMP phosphodiesterase of leukemic lymphocytes was 5–10-fold greater than that of purified normal lymphocytes or homogenates of spleen, thymus or lymph nodes of normal mice. This rise was demonstrable over a wide range of substrate concentrations. Both normal and leukemic lymphocytes contained a heat-stable, calcium-dependent activator of phosphodiesterase. However, the increased activity of phosphodiesterase in leukemic lymphocytes was not due to this protein activator since (a) phophodiesterase activity from these cells was not stimulated by this activator and (b) phosphodiesterase activity of leukemic lymphocytes was not inhibited by the calcium chelator, ethyleneglycol-bis-(β-aminoethylether)-N′,N′-tetraacetic acid, suggesting that the enzyme was not already maximally activated. A comparison of several other properties of phosphodiesterase from normal and leukemic lymphocytes showed that the enzymes have similar pH optima, similar stabilitis to freezing and thawing and similar sensitivities to inhibition by the phosphodiesterase inhibitors, chlorpromazine, papaverine and isobutylmethylxanthine. However, the subcellular distribution of the phosphodiesterases was different, and the phosphodiesterase of leukemic lymphocytes was significantly more resistant to heat than that of normal lymphocytes.Although no differences were found between the phosphodiesterases of normal and leukemic lymphocytes in their sensitivities to drugs, there were marked differences in drug sensitivity between the phosphodiesterase of lymphocytes and that of other tissue. For example, concentrations of chlorpromazine which inhibited phosphodiesterase of cerebrum by 70% had no effect on phosphodiesterase activity of lymphocytes. On the other hand, the papaverine-induced inhibition of phosphodiesterase was similar in lymphocytes and cerebrum.Since an optimal concentration of cyclic nucleotides is essential to maintain normal cell growth, these results suggest that the abnormal growth characteristics of leukemic lymphocytes may be explained by their high activity of phosphodiesterase. Furthermore, the qualitative and quantitative differences between the phosphodiesterases of leukemic lymphocytes and other tissues raise the possibility of selectively inhibiting the phosphodiesterase of the leukemic lymphocytes, thereby reducing their rate of growth, without affecting other tissues. 相似文献

The apparent protein content of a single spherical lymphocyte or a similar cell, as well as its diameter, can be measured by a modified and stabilized AO-Baker interference microscope which is either fitted with an AO half-shade eyepiece or connected to a photomultiplier. This paper gives results for the apparent protein content and the diameter of normal mouse lymphocytes and thymocytes; these do not differ significantly from each other. It also gives values for the apparent protein concentration and the diameter of the lymphocytes of mice of the same strain which have developed leukemia or lymphoma; these values are significantly different from those of normal mice. Related data are given for the apparent protein content and for the diameter of normal human lymphocytes and the white cells found in myeloblastic leukemia and in stem cell leukemia in man; here the values differ significantly from those of the normal human lymphocyte. The rule seems to be that the abnormal white cells become more watery and larger as the disease advances. 相似文献

Summary We have reviewed the studies on neutral glycosphingolipids and gangliosides of normal and leukemia human leukocytes. In this review, we examine (a) the glycosphingolipid composition of various leukocyte populations, (b) the differences in glycosphingolipids found among subsets of these cells, (c) the possible use of these compounds as markers of differentiation, and (d) the changes in glycosphingolipid composition that occur with leukemogenesis. 相似文献

The effect of theobromine (TB) and diphylline (DP) or (1,2-dihydroxy-3-propyl)theophylline on SCE rates induced in vitro by mitomycin C (MMC), and the effect of caffeine on SCE rates induced in vitro by cytosine arabinoside (Ara-C) was studied. The combined treatments with MMC plus TB or DP showed the potentiating ability of the latter drugs. Caffeine also enhanced SCEs induced by Ara-C in cultured human lymphocytes. Caffeine and adriamycin (ADR) did not act synergistically on induction of SCEs. In a combined study, in vivo and in vitro, lymphocytes taken from 2 leukemic patients who had been given chlorambucil (CBC) or Ara-C by injection 3 h before, and then treated with caffeine in vitro, were found to have synergistically increased exchange frequencies. 相似文献
