In Chinese hamster ovary cells, [3H]formycin B is metabolized into formycin B-5'-monophosphate, formycin A-5'-monophosphate and higher phosphorylated derivatives of formycin A which are incorporated into RNA. Mutants of CHO cells independently selected for resistance to various adenosine analogs viz. toyocamycin, tubercidin, 6-methylmercaptopurine riboside, which contain no detectable activity of adenosine kinase (AK) in cell extracts, all exhibited between 2- to 3-fold increased resistance to formycin B. Formycin B-resistant mutants of CHO cells are also affected in AK, as indicated by the absence of AK activity in cell extracts. Both types of AK- mutants showed reduced uptake and phosphorylation of [3H]formycin B in comparison to the parental (AK+) cells. In addition, toxicity of formycin B towards CHO cells was reduced in presence of adenosine in a concentration dependent manner. These observations strongly indicate that in CHO cells, formycin B is phosphorylated via AK and that like other nucleoside analogs its phosphorylation may be essential for the drugs cellular toxicity.  相似文献

The chemiosmotic theory of oxidative phosphorylation and the action of uncouplers was examined by characterizing a clone, UH5, of Chinese hamster ovary (CHO TK-) cells resistant to 5-chloro-3-tert-butyl-2'-chloro-4'-nitrosalicylanilide (S-13), a potent uncoupler of oxidative phosphorylation. About 9-times and 4-times more S-13 was required to effect growth and respiration respectively of UH5 cells compared to the parental CHO TK- cells. UH5 cells were cross-resistant to the uncouplers SF-6847 (3,5-di-tert-butyl-4-hydroxy-benzylidenemalononitrile), carbonylcyanide p-trifluoromethoxyphenylhydrazone and 2,4-dinitrophenol but not to oligomycin, venturicidin or Tevenel. Size, chromosome number and DNA content indicated that the UH5 cell line was probably pseudotetraploid compared to the parental pseudodiploid CHO TK- cells. Hybrid and cybrid cells formed from crosses of UH5 cells and cytoplasts, respectively, with an uncoupler-sensitive cell line were sensitive to S-13 indicating that resistance is probably nuclear-determined. UH5 cell mitochondria had increased cytochrome oxidase and decreased H+-ATPase activities. A fivefold resistance of oxidative phosphorylation to uncouplers was found at the mitochondrial level with respiration driven by either succinate or ascorbate/N,N,N',N'-tetramethyl-p-phenylenediamine. In contrast, no difference in sensitivity was found to valinomycin between mitochondria from UH5 and CHO TK- cells. The oligomycin-sensitive H+-ATPase activity of UH5 and CHO TK- cell mitochondria was equally stimulated by the uncoupler S-13. Uncoupler-resistant mitochondria would not be expected on the basis of the chemiosmotic theory, and the relation of the results to other modes of coupling is considered.  相似文献

The acquisition of high-level resistance to tubercidin (an adenosine analog) in CHO cells occurs in a single step at high frequency (10(-3) to 10(-4)) without mutagenesis. Analysis of a large number of independent mutants by a fluctuation test (Luria and Delbruk, 1943) indicates that they arise independently of the selection medium and all fall into the same complementation group. All mutants tested lack detectable adenosine kinase activity. An analysis of hybrids between mutant and wild-type cells indicates that resistance to tubercidin is a recessive marker which segregates as would be expected if it were a haploid locus in the parental CHO cell. Resistance to tubercidin is not linked to the X chromosome in CHO cells and appears to occur at much lower frequency in primary Chinese hamster cells and other cultured cell lines.  相似文献

The pyrrolopyrimidine nucleosides toyocamycin and tubercidin show several unique features of growth inhibition in Chinese hamster ovary (CHO) cells. Stable mutants which are more than 600-fold resistant to these drugs are obtained in CHO cells at a strikingly high frequency of approximately 10(-3), in the absence of mutagenesis. The mutants resistant to toyocamycin (Toyr) and tubercidin (Tubr) exhibit similar cross-resistance patterns to the two selective drugs as well as to adenosine and 6-methyl mercaptopurine riboside, indicating that the same lesion is probably involved in all cases. The mutants examined were found to be deficient in the enzyme adenosine kinase (AK), indicating that the phosphorylation of these analogs is an essential first step in their toxic action. The above mutants (AK-) behaved recessively in cell hybrids, and segregation studies indicate that the AK locus is not linked to the X chromosome. The frequencies of similar Toyr mutants in other Chinese hamster lines, e.g., V79, CHW, M3-1, GM7, and CHO-K1, varied from similar to more than three logs less than that observed for CHO cells, indicating that various cell lines probably differ in the number of functional gene copies for this locus.  相似文献

Wild-type Chinese hamster ovary (CHO) cells were transfected with a DNA clone (MT-REV, site A) carrying a mouse gene for a dominant mutant regulatory subunit (RI) gene of cAMP-dependent protein kinase (PKA) from S49 cells along with a marker for G418 resistance. G418-resistant transfectant clone R-2D1 was resistant to 8-Br-cAMP-induced growth inhibition and morphological changes. The cells also did not phosphorylate a 50-kDa protein after cAMP stimulation and had decreased PKA activity, both characteristics of PKA mutants. Northern blot analysis indicated that clone R-2D1 was actively transcribing the MT-REV (site A)-specific RNA. We also tested clone R-2D1 for sensitivity to certain natural product hydrophobic drugs and found increased sensitivity to several drugs including adriamycin. Hypersensitivity to these drugs has previously been shown by us to be a characteristic of a CHO PKA mutant cell line. Expression of the mutant RI gene is also associated with a decrease in expression of the multidrug resistance associated P-glycoprotein (gp170) mRNA and protein. These results show that the PKA mutant RI gene from S49 cells acts as a dominant mutation to reduce the total PKA activity in the CHO transfectants as it does in mouse S49 cells. This study also confirms that reduced PKA activity modulates the basal multidrug resistance of these cells, apparently by causing decreased expression of the mdr gene at the protein and mRNA level.  相似文献

The effect of alteration of the glycolytic pathway on cell damage induced by oxidative stress was investigated with dihydrofolate reductase-deficient Chinese hamster ovary (CHO) cells that either overexpress cytosolic glycerol-3-phosphate dehydrogenase (CHO/cGPDH cells) or are depleted of the A subunit of lactate dehydrogenase as a result of anti-sense RNA expression (CHO/anti-LDH cells). The extent of oxidative phosphorylation in CHO/anti-LDH and CHO/cGPDH cells was increased and decreased, respectively, relative to that in parental CHO cells, as revealed by measurement of the intracellular content of ATP, the rate of cellular O(2) consumption, the mitochondrial membrane potential (DeltaPsi(m)), and the generation of reactive oxygen species. The sensitivity of these cell lines to cell death induced by the exogenous oxidant tert-butyl hydroperoxide decreased according to the rank order CHO/anti-LDH>CHO>CHO/cGPDH. Exogenous pyruvate markedly increased the sensitivity of CHO/cGPDH cells to oxidant-induced death. The differences among the three cell lines in susceptibility to oxidant-induced death were reflected in the proportion of oxidant-treated cells with a subdiploid DNA content, with a collapsed DeltaPsi(m), and with cytochrome c in the cytosol, indicating that death was mediated by apoptosis. These results demonstrate that the influx of respiratory substrate into mitochondria is an important determinant of cell sensitivity to oxidant-induced apoptosis.  相似文献

Chinese hamster ovary (CHO) cells selected for resistance to the cytotoxicity of phytohemagglutin (PHA) have been found to exhibit stable alterations at their plasma membranes. The PHA-resistant (PhaR) cells bind markedly less 125I-PHA than do sensitive CHO cells and also exhibit an increased sensitivity to the cytotoxicity of concanavalin A, a lectin of different receptor specificity. Mutagenesis with ethylmethanesulfonate increases the proportion of PhaR cells 20- to 100-fold. PHA-resistant cells maintained for up to 8 months in continuous culture in the absence of the selective agent have retained the PhaR phenotype. These and other characteristics of the experimental system suggest that CHO cells selected for PHA resistance are authentic somatic cell mutants. The Pha marker appears to behave recessively in hybrids formed between PhaR and PhaS cells.  相似文献

Mutant CHO cells have been isolated which are resistant to NY 3170, a member of the metahalone group of antimitotic drugs. One NY 3170 resistant mutant is hypersensitive to the microtubule-stabilising drug, taxol, but there is not a reciprocal relationship between levels of resistance to these drugs in CHO cells, since it was found that sixteen other mutants isolated on the basis of taxol resistance had wild type levels of NY 3170 resistance. Our NY 3170 resistant mutants are cross-resistant to vincristine and other mutants, selected on the basis of vincristine resistance, are cross-resistant to NY 3170.  相似文献

Stable mutants exhibiting high degree of resistance (100-1000-fold) to various nucleoside analogs viz, toyocamycin, tubercidin, 6-methyl mercaptopurine riboside (6-MeMPR) and pyrazofurin, are obtained at similar frequency (congruent to 1 X 10(-4] in CHO cells. The mutants resistant to any of the above analogs exhibit similar degree of cross-resistance to the other three nucleoside analogs, and all of the mutants examined contained no measurable activity of the purine salvage pathway enzyme adenosine kinase (AK) which converts these analogs to their phosphorylated derivatives. These results indicate that very similar mutants are selected using any of these analogs. The recovery of AK- mutants in CHO cells is not affected by cell density (up to at least 5 X 10(5) cells per 100-mm diameter dish) and after treatment with mutagen(s) maximum mutagenic effect is observed after 7-8 days, which then remains unchanged for the next several days. Treatment of CHO cells with a number of mutagenic agents e.g. ethyl methanesulfonate, ICR170, ultraviolet light, and benzo[a]pyrene, led to a nearly linear concentration-dependent increase in the frequency of the AK- mutants in cultures. The mutagenic response of the AK locus to these agents compared favorably with that of the HGPRT locus (6-thioguanine resistance) within the same experiments. These results show that the selection system for AK- mutants provides an additional valuable genetic marker for quantitative mutagenesis studies in CHO cells.  相似文献

Stable mutants resistant to an anticancer antibiotic, bleomycin-A2, were selected in Chinese hamster ovary (CHO) cell either spontaneously or after ethylmethane sulfonate mutagenesis. Fluctuation analysis showed that bleomycin resistance occurs in CHO at a rate of 6.50--6.58 x 10(-7) mutations per cell per generation. Bleomycin-A2-resistant cell lines exhibited increased resistance to bleomycin analogs--bleomycin-A5, -B2, -B4, and pepleomycin. Colchicine, mitomycin C, and ultraviolet light irradiation inhibited colony formation equally in CHO cells and in bleomycin-resistant mutants. Cell-cell hybridization tests showed that bleomycin-resistance behaves as a dominant trait. Bleomycin-inactivating activity in the mutant cell extracts was three to fourfold higher than that in extracts of the parental CHO cell.  相似文献

To evaluate the peroxisomal requirement for beta-oxidation of hydroxyeicosatetraenoic acids (HETES), we tested 5-, 12- and 15-HETE oxidation in wild-type and mutant Chinese hamster ovary (CHO) cells. Mutant CHO cells contain peroxisomal ghosts, have random cytosolic localization of catalase and lack two of the enzymes necessary for peroxisomal beta-oxidation. Reverse-phase HPLC indicated that 33% of 12-HETE radioactivity was converted by wild-type CHO cells during a 2 h incubation to one major and several minor polar metabolites. Wild-type CHO cells also converted 15-HETE to one major and several minor polar metabolites. Neither 12- nor 15-HETE were converted to any metabolites by the mutant CHO cell lines, despite appreciable cellular uptake of these hydroxyeicosanoids. 5-HETE was not converted to any metabolic products by either the wild-type or the mutant CHO cells. Docosahexaenoic acid beta-oxidation was substantially reduced in the mutants as compared to the wild-type cells, palmitic acid beta-oxidation was reduced to an intermediate extent in the mutants, but octanoate beta-oxidation and citrate synthase activity were not impaired. Protein immunoblotting for mitochondrial manganese superoxide dismutase indicated a single band of identity at 20 kDa in both wild-type and mutant CHO cells. Since mutant CHO cells fail to convert 12- and 15-HETE to oxidative metabolites but contain normal mitochondrial enzymatic activities, intact peroxisomes appear to be the organelle responsible for HETE oxidation.  相似文献

Chinese hamster ovary (CHO) cells and appropriate drug-resistant mutants derived from them have been analyzed for nucleoside kinase activities relevant to the phosphorylation of adenosine, deoxyadenosine, deoxyguanosine and deoxycytidine and for resistance to a variety of nucleoside analogs. Fractionation of extracts by DEAE-cellulose chromatography revealed three major peaks of activity. Adenosine kinase (ATP:adenosine 5'-phosphotransferase, EC 2.7.1.20), the first to elute from the column is responsible for the majority of the deoxyadenosine phosphorylation in cell extracts and, according to resistance data, appears to phosphorylate most adenosine analogs tested, including 9-beta-D-arabinosyladenine (ara-A). A deoxyguanosine kinase, the second enzyme to elute from the column, was responsible for the majority of deoxyguanosine and deoxyinosine phosphorylation in cell extracts. The function of this enzyme in cell metabolism is unclear. 2-Chlorodeoxyadenosine, on the other hand, appeared from resistance data to be phosphorylated, at least in part, by deoxycytidine kinase (ATP:deoxycytidine 5'-phosphotransferase, EC 2.7.1.74), which in cell extracts could also phosphorylate deoxyguanosine and deoxyadenosine, though much less efficiently than deoxycytidine.  相似文献

The small heat shock proteins (sHsps) from human (Hsp27) and mouse (Hsp25) form large oligomers which can act as molecular chaperones in vitro and protect cells from heat shock and oxidative stress when overexpressed. In addition, mammalian sHsps are rapidly phosphorylated by MAPKAP kinase 2/3 at two or three serine residues in response to various extracellular stresses. Here we analyze the effect of sHsp phosphorylation on its quaternary structure, chaperone function, and protection against oxidative stress. We show that in vitro phosphorylation of recombinant sHsp as well as molecular mimicry of Hsp27 phosphorylation lead to a significant decrease of the oligomeric size. We demonstrate that both phosphorylated sHsps and the triple mutant Hsp27-S15D,S78D,S82D show significantly decreased abilities to act as molecular chaperones suppressing thermal denaturation and facilitating refolding of citrate synthase in vitro. In parallel, Hsp27 and its mutants were analyzed for their ability to confer resistance against oxidative stress when overexpressed in L929 and 13.S.1.24 cells. While wild type Hsp27 confers resistance, the triple mutant S15D,S78D,S82D cannot protect against oxidative stress effectively. These data indicate that large oligomers of sHsps are necessary for chaperone action and resistance against oxidative stress whereas phosphorylation down-regulates these activities by dissociation of sHsp complexes to tetramers.  相似文献

The availability of isotype-specific antisera for beta-tubulin, coupled with genetic and biochemical analysis, has allowed the determination of beta-tubulin isotype expression and distribution in Chinese hamster ovary (CHO) cells. Using genetic manipulations involving selection for colcemid resistance followed by reversion and reselection for drug resistance, we have succeeded in isolating cell lines that exhibit three major and one minor beta-tubulin spots by two-dimensional gel electrophoresis. In concert with isotype-specific antibodies, analysis of these mutants demonstrates that CHO cells express two copies of isotype I, at least one copy of isotype IV, and very small amounts of isotype V. All three isotypes assemble into both cytoplasmic and spindle microtubules and are similar in their responses to cold, colcemid, and calcium-induced depolymerization. They have comparable turnover rates and are equally sensitive to depression of synthesis upon colchicine treatment. These results suggest that beta-tubulin isotypes are used interchangeably to assemble microtubule structures in CHO cells. However, of 18 colcemid-resistant mutants with a demonstrable alteration in beta-tubulin, all were found to have the alteration in isotype I, thus leaving open the possibility that subtle differences in isotype properties may exist.  相似文献

Induction of chromosomal aberrations and sister-chromatid exchanges (SCEs) was studied in wild-type Chinese hamster ovary (CHO-K1) cells and its 2 X-ray-sensitive mutants xrs 5 and xrs 6 (known to be deficient in repair of DNA double-strand breaks (DSBs] by restriction endonucleases (REs) and inhibitors of DNA topoisomerase II known to induce DNA strand breaks. Five different types of REs, namely CfoI, EcoRI, HpaII (which induce cohesive DSBs), HaeIII and AluI (which induce blunt DSBs) were employed. REs that induce blunt-end DNA DSBs were found to be more efficient in inducing chromosomal aberrations than those inducing cohesive breaks. xrs 5 and xrs 6 mutants responded with higher sensitivity (50-100% increase in the frequency of aberrations per aberrant cell) to these REs than wild-type CHO-K1 cells. All these REs were also tested for their ability to induce SCEs. The frequency of SCEs increased in wild-type as well as mutant CHO cells, the induced frequency being about 2-fold higher in xrs mutants than in the wild-type cells. We also studied the effect of inhibitors of DNA topoisomerase II, namely 4'-(9-acridinylamino)methanesulfon-m-anisidide (m-AMSA) and etoposid (VP 16), at different stages of the cell cycle of these 3 types of cells. Both drugs increased the frequency of chromosomal aberrations in G2 cells. The mutants showed increased sensitivity to m-AMSA and VP 16, xrs 6 cells being 10- and 2-fold more sensitive than wild-type CHO-K1 cells respectively, and xrs 5 responding with 2-fold higher sensitivity than xrs 6 cells. G1 treatment of CHO cells with m-AMSA increased both chromosome- and chromatid-type aberrations, xrs mutants being about 3-fold more sensitive than CHO-K1 cells. The frequency of SCEs increased also after treatment of exponentially growing and S-phase CHO cells with m-AMSA and the higher sensitivity of xrs mutants (2-fold) was evident. The S-phase appeared to be a specific stage which is most prone for the induction of SCEs by m-AMSA. The results indicate that DNA DSBs induced by REs and inhibitors of DNA topoisomerase II correlate closely with induced chromosomal aberrations and SCEs in these cell lines, indicating that DSBs are responsible for the production of these 2 genetic endpoints.  相似文献

Colchicine-resistant Chinese hamster ovary (CHO) cell mutants whose resistance results from reduced drug permeability have been isolated previously in our laboratories. This reduced permeability affects a wide range of unrelated drugs, resulting in the mutants displaying a multiple drug resistance phenotype. A 170,000-dalton cell surface glycoprotein (P-glycoprotein) was identified, and its expression appears to correlate with the degree of resistance. In this study we were able to confer the multiple drug resistance phenotype on sensitive mouse L cells by DNA-mediated gene transfer of DNA obtained from the colchicine-resistant mutants. P-glycoprotein was detected in plasma membranes of these DNA transformants by staining with an antiserum raised against membranes of mutant CHO cells. These results are consistent with a causal relationship between P-glycoprotein expression and the multiple drug resistance phenotype.  相似文献

This study aimed to evaluate the effects of dietary carbohydrate/lipid (CHO:L) ratios on stress, liver oxidative status and non-specific immune responses of fingerling blunt snout bream. Fish were fed six isonitrogenous and isoenergetic diets containing various CHO:L ratios for 10 weeks. After the feeding trial, fish were challenged by Aeromonas hydrophila and survival rate was recorded for the next 10 days. The lowest plasma cortisol, lactate, aspartate aminotransferase and alanine aminotransferase were all observed in fish fed a CHO:L ratio of 5.64. They were significantly (P < 0.05) lower than those of fish offered the lowest CHO:L ratio, but showed little difference (P > 0.05) with those of fish fed the highest CHO:L ratio. This also held true for liver catalase and glutathione peroxidase activities, whereas the opposite was true for liver reduced glutathione contents, plasma lysozyme and alternative complement (ACH50) activities. Contrary to leucocyte counts, plasma glucose levels, liver malondialdehyde contents, blood haemoglobin contents and erythrocyte numbers all increased significantly (P < 0.05) with decreasing dietary CHO:L ratios. The highest plasma total protein and globulin content both observed in fish fed a CHO:L ratio of 2.45 was significantly (P < 0.01) higher than that of fish offered the lowest CHO:L ratio, but showed no statistical difference (P > 0.05) with that of the other groups. After challenge, fish fed the lowest CHO:L ratio obtained significantly (P < 0.05) low survival rate. However, survival rate showed little difference (P > 0.05) as dietary CHO:L ratios ranged from 3.67 to 24.20. The results of this study indicated that high dietary lipid may cause metabolic stress of fingerling blunt snout bream, as might consequently lead to the elevated liver oxidation rates, impaired liver function, depressed immunity and reduced resistance to A. hydrophila infection of this species, whereas the opposite was true for carbohydrate enriched diets.  相似文献

Cellular fibronectin is expressed only at very low levels on the surface of the spontaneously transformed Chinese Hamster Ovary (CHO) cell line, as detected by immunofluorescence studies and confirmed by resistance of CHO cells to complement-mediated lysis in the presence of anti-fibronectin antibody. Treatment of CHO cells with sodium butyrate results in a marked susceptibility to anti-fibronectin complement-mediated killing. Using selected complement-containing sera from rabbits, it is possible to demonstrate that killing of butyrate-treated CHO cells is absolutely and specifically dependent on the presence of antibody to fibronectin. The increased susceptibility of butyrate-treated cells to complement-mediated killing correlates with an increase in cell surface fibronectin detected by immunofluorescence studies. This increased antigen expression should allow the isolation of mutants with altered regulation of fibronectin expression in a cell line of proven value for somatic cell genetic studies.  相似文献

We have previously reported that the uptake of colchicine and other drugs in Chinese hamster ovary (CHO) cells can be greatly enhanced by the addition of metabolic inhibitors such as cyanide (See, Y.P., Carlsen, S.A., Till, J.E. and Ling, V. (1974) Biochim. Biophys. Acta 373, 242-252). This has led us to postulate the presence of an active drug permeability barrier in these cells. In this paper we provide evidence for the dependence of this permeability barrier on intracellular ATP levels. Colchicine-resistant mutants of CHO cells exhibiting a reduced drug permeability, however, can maintain this drug permeability barrier at much lower ATP levels, suggesting that they possess an altered active drug permeability barrier. We have also observed a membrane-associated protein kinase-phosphoprotein phosphatase system in the isolated membranes of mutant and wild-type cells. Differences in the intrinsic protein phosphorylation patterns between the membranes of these cells have led us to conclude that the control of the drug permeability barrier may be mediated via the phosphorylation of at least two high molecular weight surface glycoproteins.  相似文献

Some research studies have produced data indicating that resistance exercise induces oxidative stress, despite minimal increases in VO2. These studies have primarily relied on oxidative stress markers with low sensitivity and debatable reliability. However, F2-isoprostanes as measured by gas chromatography mass spectrometry are considered to be a reliable and precise indicator of oxidative stress. Carbohydrate ingestion during exercise is associated with reduced levels of stress hormones, which may influence oxidative stress and plasma antioxidant potential. Therefore, the purpose of this study was to investigate the influence of carbohydrate ingestion during resistance training on F2-isoprostanes and plasma antioxidant potential. Thirty strength-trained subjects were randomized to carbohydrate (CHO) or placebo (PLA) groups that lifted weights for 2 h. Subjects received 10 ml kg- 1 h- 1 CHO (6%) or PLA beverages during the exercise. Blood and vastus lateralis muscle biopsy samples were collected before and after exercise and analyzed for cortisol as a marker of general stress, F2-isoprostanes as a measure of oxidative stress, and ferric reducing ability of plasma (FRAP) as a measure of antioxidant potential, and for muscle glycogen, respectively. Decreases in muscle glycogen content did not differ between CHO and PLA. Cortisol and FRAP increased significantly in CHO and PLA (P = 0.008 and 0.044, respectively), but the pattern of change was not different between groups. F2-isoprostanes were unaffected by exercise. These results indicate that exhaustive resistance exercise and carbohydrate ingestion have no effect on oxidative stress or plasma antioxidant potential in trained subjects.  相似文献
