Influence of denervation on the regeneration of Pleurodele limbs   总被引:2,自引:0,他引:2  
Abstract. A cytophotometric study of Feulgen-stained mesenchymal cell nuclei from regeneration blastemas of both innervated and denervated limbs over the 1st 7 days following the midbud stage showed a diminution of the percentage of cells in the S + G2 phases and a corresponding augmentation of the percentage of cells in the G0+ G1 phases. This change, which was temporally correlated with the redifferentiation of the innervated blastemas, was greater in denervated blastemas, even though they do not redifferentiate. From these results, it is concluded that the denervation of midbud blastemas brings about either an extension of the G1 phase or an exiting from the cell cycle to G1 (G0–1), or both phenomena.  相似文献

The second messenger cAMP is a key regulator of growth in many cells. Previous studies showed that cAMP could reverse the growth inhibition of indoleamines in the dinoflagellate Crypthecodinium cohnii Biecheler. In the present study, we measured the level of intracellular cAMP during the cell cycle of C. cohnii . cAMP peaked during the G1 phase and decreased to a minimum during S phase. Similarly, cAMP-dependent protein kinase activities peaked at both G1 and G2+M phases of the cell cycle, decreasing to a minimum at S phase. Addition of N6, O2'-dibutyryl (Bt2)-cAMP directly stimulated the growth of C. cohnii . Flow cytometric analysis of synchronized C. cohnii cells suggested that 1 mM cAMP shortened the cell cycle, probably at the exit from mitosis. The size of Bt2-cAMP treated cells at G1 was also larger than the control cells. The present study demonstrated a regulatory role of cAMP in the cell cycle progression in dinoflagellates.  相似文献

The effects of inhibition of the synthesis of protein, mRNA or rRNA on the progression of the cell cycle have been analyzed in cultures of Catharanthus roseus in which cells were induced to divide in synchrony by the double phosphate starvation method. The partial inhibition of protein synthesis at the G1 phase by anisoniycio or cycloheximide caused the arrest of cells in the G1 phase or delayed the entry of cells into the S phase. When protein synthesis was partially inhibited at the S phase, cell division occurred to about the same extent as in the control. When asynchronously dividing cells were treated with cycloheximide, cells accumulated in the G1 phase, as shown by flow-cytometric analysis. The partial inhibition of mRNA synthesis by α-amanitin at the G1 phase caused the arrest of cells in the G1 phase, although partial inhibition of mRNA synthesis at the S phase had little effect on cell division. In the case of inhibition of synthesis of rRNA by actinomycin D at the G1 phase, initiation of DNA synthesis was observed, but no subsequent DNA synthesis or the division of cells occurred. However, the addition of actinomycin D during the S phase had no effect on cell division. These results suggest that specific protein(s), required for the progression of the cell cycle, are synthesized in the G1 phase, and that the mRNA(s) that encode these proteins are also synthesized at the G1 phase.  相似文献

Abstract. Differentiation of mammalian cells is accompanied by reduced rates of proliferation and an exit from the cell cycle. Human leukemic cells HL60 present a widely used model of neoplastic cell differentiation, and acquire the monocytic phenotype when exposed to analogs of vitamin D3 (VD3). The maturation process is accompanied by two blocks in the cell cycle: an arrest in the G1/G0 phase, and a recently described G2+ M block. In this study we have analyzed the traverse of the cell cycle phases of the well-differentiating HL60-G cells exposed to one of ten analogs of VD3, and compared the cell cycle effects of each compound with its potency as a differentiation-inducing agent. We found that in general there was a good correlation between the effects of these compounds on the cell cycle and on differentiation, but the best cell cycle predictor of differentiation potency was the extent of accumulation of the cells in the G2 compartment. All analogs induced a marked decrease in the mitotic index, and polynucleation of HL60 cells was produced, especially by compounds which were effective as inducers of differentiation. Time course studies showed that induction of differentiation was accompanied by a transient increase of the proportion of cells in the G2+ M compartment, but preceded the G1 to S, and the G2 compartment blocks. These studies indicate that complex changes in the cell cycle traverse accompany, but do not precede, the acquisition of the monocytic phenotype by HL60 cells.  相似文献

Actinomycin D (0.5 μg/ml) did not prevent M stage cells from entering G1 stage, but blocked their progress from G1 to S stage. The position of the block was approximately 1.4 hr before S stage or just after the beginning of G1 stage. Actinomycin D in this concentration also significantly depressed uridine-3H uptake into G1 stage cells, but did not suppress leucine-3H uptake by M and G1 cells. This suggests that some proteins may be synthesized in M and G1 stage cells by messenger RNA left over from the previous cell cycle. However, entry of G1 cells into S stage would require synthesis of new messenger RNA near the beginning of G1 stage. Puromycin (10 μg/ml) did not prevent M cells from entering G1 stage, but blocked their progress from G1 to S stage. The site of blockage was about 0.7 hr before S stage or in the first two-third of G1 stage. This might be the site where the cells synthesize new G1 proteins necessary for entry to S stage.
Comparison of sensitivities of G1 and G2 stages to the two antibiotics reveals that the puromycin sensitivity of G1 cells was similar to that of G2 cells, but the actinomycin D sensitivity of G1 was greater than that of G2 cells.  相似文献

Abstract. Multivariate analysis of the expression of cyclin proteins and DNA content has opened new possibilities for the study of the cell cycle. By virtue of their cell cycle phase specificity, the expression of cyclins may serve, in addition to DNA content, as another marker of a cell's position in the cycle, and provide information about the proliferative potential of cell populations. Several applications of the methodology based on bivariate analysis of DNA content v . expression of B, E and D type cyclins are reviewed: 1 expression of cyclins by individual cells during their progression through the cycle can be studied, using exponentially growing cells without the necessity of cell synchronization or other perturbations of the cycle; 2 cells having the same DNA content but residing in different phases of the cycle (e.g. G2 diploid v. G1 tetraploid) can be distinguished; 3 cell transition from G0 to G1 and progression through G1 (e.g. mitogen stimulated lymphocytes) can be assayed; 4 the population of proliferating cells can be distinguished from noncycling cells based on dual cell labelling with a G1 and G2 cyclin antibody; 5 cyclin restriction points can serve as additional cell cycle landmarks to map the point of action of antitumour drugs; 6 unscheduled expression of cyclins (e.g. the presence of cyclin B1 during G1 and S) can be detected in several tumour transformed cell lines, possibly indicating disregulation of the machmery of cell cycle progression. The last finding 6 is of special importance, because such disregulation may be of prognostic consequence in human tumours.  相似文献

Abstract. The physiologically active form of vitamin D3, 1,25-dihydroxy-vitamin D3, (1,25(OH)2, D3), induces differentiation of several types of myeloid leukaemia cells. The acquisition of monocyte-like phenotype is accompanied by slower progression through the cell cycle, and G1, block has been reported to be the basis of this effect. It is shown here that human promyelocytic leukaemia HL60 cells treated with analogues of vitamin D3, which are potent inducers of monocytic differentiation, have an additional cell cycle block. Exposure to 10-7m 1,25(OH)2, D3, or 1,25-(OH)2,-16-ene-D3 resulted in monocytic differentiation and the expected G1, block evident at approximately 48 h in a rapidly differentiating variant of HL60 cells (HL60-G), and at 96 h in the more slowly differentiating HL60-240 cells. In addition, a G2,+M block was noted at approximately 72 h in HL60-G and HL60-240 cells. Exposure to vitamin D3, analogues also markedly increased the number of dikaryons, suggesting that cytokinesis was impaired more than karyokinesis. Treatment with a third analogue 25-hydroxy-16,23-diene-D3, produced little differentiation and had minimal effects on the cell cycle parameters. These findings indicate that vitamin D3, analogues regulate cell proliferation by control of the transition of G1, and G2,+M phases, reminiscent of the cdc2/CDK2 type of cell cycle control.  相似文献

Abstract Stationary-phase cells of Cryptococcus neoformans displayed two morphological characteristics: virtually all the cells were unbudded even in the early stationary phase and even when grown in rich media, and average cell size increased from that of exponential-phase cells. DNA contents for small and large stationary-phase cells were determined by quantitative fluorescence microscopy after DNA staining with propidium iodide or DAPI. Small cells contained G, DNA, whereas large unbudded cells had either a G2 or G1 DNA content, indicating that Cr. neoformans can enter into the stationary phase from either the G1 or G2 period.  相似文献

Cytophotometric determination of single-cell DNA after repeated 3H-thymidine labelling of the JB-1 ascites tumour in the plateau phase of growth showed a massive accumulation of unlabelled cells with both G1 and G2 content. Autoradiography combined with cytophotometry or colcemid block demonstrated that some of these unlabelled cells were rapidly triggered into the cell cycle when plateau tumours were transferred to new hosts. This indicated that tumour cells may be held up in non-cycling stages corresponding to both the G1 and the G2 phase of the cell cycle.  相似文献

Unscheduled expression of cyclins D1 and D3 in human tumour cell lines   总被引:2,自引:0,他引:2  
D-type cyclins are involved in regulation of cell traverse through G1 primarily by activating the cyclin-dependent kinase 4 (CDK4) and targeting it to the retinoblastoma tumour suppressor protein. There is a vast body of evidence that defective expression of D-type cyclins is associated with tumour development and/or progression. Immunocytochemical detection of D cyclins combined with multiparameter flow cytometry makes it possible to measure the expression of these proteins in individual cells in relation to their cell cycle position without the need for cell synchronization. This approach was used in the present study to compare the cell cycle phase specific expression of cyclins D3 and D1 in human normal proliferating lymphocytes and fibroblasts, respectively, with nine tumour cell lines of different lineage. During exponential, unperturbed growth, expression of cyclin D1 in fibroblasts from donors of different age, or cyclin D3 in lymphocytes, was limited to mid-G1 cells: Less than 7% of the cells entering S phase or progressing through S and G2 were cyclin D positive. In contrast, expression of either cyclin D1 or cyclin D3 in tumour cell lines of different lineage was not limited to G1 phase. Namely, over 80% of the cells in S and G2+M were cyclin D positive in eight of the nine cell lines studied. The data indicate that while expression of cyclin D1 or D3 in normal cells is discontinuous, occurring transiently in G1, these proteins are expressed in some tumour lines persistently throughout the cell cycle. This suggests that the partner kinase CDK4 is perpetually active throughout the cell cycle in these tumour lines.  相似文献

Abstract. By flow cytometric dual parameter analysis of proliferating cell nuclear antigen (PCNA) and the Ki-67 antigen a detailed cell cycle analysis can be performed. In this study the co-ordinated expression of these two growth-related antigens was investigated in human haematopoietic cells at entrance into the cell cycle as well as at exit from the cycle. In mitogen-stimulated peripheral blood lymphocytes entering the first cell cycle, the Ki-67 antigen was found to be expressed in S phase cells and not in G1 cells. Thus, the Ki-67 antigen expression in PCNA-positive S phase cells differed between continuously cycling cells and cells entering the cell cycle. Based on this difference, it was possible to visualize and evaluate the recruitment of cells into the first cell cycle from a resting stage. This new cell cycle parameter can give additional information concerning tumour growth. The Ki-67 antigen was also studied during different stages of G1 and was found to be expressed at high levels in early G1 cells compared with other parts of G1.  相似文献

Abstract: Monolayer cultures of neuroblastome × glioma hybrid (clonal) cell line NG108-15, synchronized by the isoleucine/glutamine deprivation method, showed maximal expression of opiate binding sities at the same point in the cell cycle at which prostaglandin E1(PGE1) had a maximum stimulatory effect of cyclinc AMP synthesis. However, the capacity of enkephalin (D-Ala2D-Leu5] to block the stimulation of cyclic AMP synthesis by PGE1 was not related to the number of opiate receptors expressed. The K1 for the inhibition of cyclic AMP synthesis by opioid peptides increased substanitilly during the period of the cell cycle at which maximal expression of opiate binding sites occurred, making the effectivel level of inhibition of adenylate cyclase activity by 0.1μM enkephalin [D-Al2D-Leu3] the same throght the cell cycle. Data are presented to suggest the enkephalin receptor coupling to adenylate cyclase, via a GTP-binding protein, is maximal during G1 phase (which may approximate the state of the differentiated neuron) and minimal during S + G2 phase, just prior to cell division, when many receptors are uncoupled.  相似文献

Abstract. We have previously found that DNA replication was affected within one cell cycle after seeding Chinese hamster ovary (CHO) cells in the presence of the polyamine biosynthesis inhibitor 2-difluoromethylornithine (DFMO). We could, however, not rule out if this was due to an effect on the G1/S transition and/or on DNA synthesis elongation. In the present paper, we use a bromodeoxyuridine-flow cytometric method to more specifically study the G1/S transition, the S phase length, and the progression of cells from S phase through G2+ M and into G1, after seeding plateau phase CHO cells at low density in the absence or presence of 5 mM DFMO. We report here that DFMO-induced polyamine depletion increased the length of the S phase within one cell cycle after seeding of CHO cells in the presence of the inhibitor. No effect on the G1/S transition was observed until 2 days after seeding, suggesting that a DFMO-induced lengthening of the G1 phase occurred later than the effect on S phase progression. These results imply that the G2+ M phase was not prolonged until 2 days after seeding CHO cells in the presence of DFMO.  相似文献

Abstract: Rat glioma mouse neuroblastoma hybrid neurotumor cells (NG108-15), synchronized by amino acid deprivation, showed a cell-cycle-dependent peak of activity of a ganglioside N-acetylgalactosaminyl transferase 14-24 h following release from the cell cycle block (S/G2 phase). Maximal expression of two typical lysosomal hydrolases, N-acetyl-β-hexosaminidase and β-galactosidase, occurred between 18 and 21 h following release (S phase), declining to G1 phase levels during the peak of N-acetylgalactosamine (GalNAc) transferase activity. In addition, glycosyltransferase activity in G2 phase cells showed an increase in apparent Vmax (suggesting the presence of more enzyme/mg of cell protein) and apparent binding affinity for uridine diphosphate N-acetylgalactosamine (UDP-GalNAc) (32 versus 14 M) when compared to transferase activity in the G1 phase. However, the opioid peptide enkephalin [D-Ala2, o-Leu5], which inhibits ganglioside GalNAc transferase activity in unsynchronized NG108-15 cultures, was much more inhibitory in whole cells 8 h after release from the cell cycle block (G1 phase) than in cells 20 h after release (G, phase), with 50% inhibition occurring at 2 ± 10-9M and 2 ± 10-7M, respectively. These results suggest that the GalNAc transferase activity is regulated in more than one way during the cell cycle, since both Vmax and Km changes are observed, and that the cyclic AMP-dependent mechanism by which opiates reduce transferase activity is receptor mediated and cell cycle dependent.  相似文献

Abstract.  The influence of temperature on the insect cell line, BmN, derived from the silkworm, Bombyx mori is investigated. These cells proliferate at an accelerated pace as the temperature increases from 22 to 30 °C, but the growth rate slows at 34 °C, and proliferation stops at 38 °C. At high temperatures, abnormal cellular morphology is observed. Cells treated at 38 °C have cytoplasmic bilateral protrusions and they gradually aggregate and float in the medium. BmN cells without proliferation at 38 °C are viable but have reduced DNA synthesis. At high temperatures, the cell cycle of BmN cells halts at the G2 phase. After heat treatment of the larvae, an accumulation of larval haemocytes with high DNA content is found, which suggests that the cell cycle arrest at G2 also occurs in the silkworm at high temperatures.  相似文献

Abstract. The initiation of DNA synthesis and further cell cycle progression in cells during and following exposure to extremely hypoxic conditions in either G1 or G2+M has been studied in human NHIK 3025 cells. Populations of cells, synchronized by mitotic selection, were rendered extremely hypoxic (< 4 p.p.m. O2) for up to 24n h. Cell cycle progression was studied from flow cytometric DNA recordings. No accumulation of DNA was found to take place during extreme hypoxia. Cells initially in G1 at the onset of treatment did not enter S during up to 24 h exposure to extreme hypoxia, but started DNA synthesis in a highly synchronous manner within 1.5 to 2.25 h after reoxygenation. The duration of S phase was only slightly affected (increased by ≅10%) by the hypoxic treatment. This suggests that the DNA synthesizing machinery either remains intact during hypoxia or is rapidly restored after reoxygenation. Cells initially in G2 at the onset of hypoxia were able to complete mitosis, but further cell cycle progression was blocked in the subsequent G^ Following reoxygenation, these cells progressed into S phase, but the initiation of DNA synthesis was delayed for a period corresponding to at least the duration of normal G1 and did not appear in a synchronous manner. In fact, cell cycle variability was found to be increased rather than decreased as a result of exposure to hypoxia starting in G2. We interpret these findings as an indication that important steps in the preparation for initiation of DNA synthesis take place before mitosis. Furthermore, the change in cell cycle duration induced by hypoxia commencing in G1 is of a nature other than that induced by hypoxia commencing in other parts of the cell cycle.  相似文献

Abstract. The transit times of Chinese hamster ovary cells through the phases of their cell cycle were measured using dual parameter flow cytometry to measure DNA content and the presence of monoclonal antibodies to bromodeoxyuridine. Up to four separate populations can be accurately measured: unlabelled cells in G2+ M; labelled cells that have not yet divided; labelled cells that have already divided; and the unlabelled cells that were originally in G1 plus the cells that were originally in G2+ M and have since divided. The fractions of cells in these populations can be easily followed in time and the usual kinetic properties can be estimated from these fractions, or combinations thereof, including the times through G1, S, G2+ M and the cycle time. We present equations for analysing this type of data and comment on which equations are most appropriate for measuring specific kinetic properties of the cells.  相似文献

The duration of the mitotic cycle and of its components was analysed for each of the six successive generations of differentiating spermatogonia (A1, A2, A3, A4, intermediate and B), using radioautographed whole mounts of seminiferous tubules from testes of adult Sprague-Dawley rats. Cell cycles were determined from two successive waves of per cent labeled metaphases obtained during the period of 81 hr after a single dose of 3H-thymidine. Except for the A1 spermatogonia, all spermatogonial types (A2 to B) had similar cell cycle durations of 41-42.5 hr and comparable pre-DNA synthesis phases (G1) of 11-13 hr. Although the combined duration of DNA synthesis (S) and the post-synthesis phase (G2) remained identical for all the cell types including A1, there was a progressive lengthening of the S period at the expense of G2 during the process of spermatogonial maturation. This change was most marked during the transition from A1 to A3 spermatogonia when the S period increased from 14 hr to 21 hr, and the G2 phase shortened from 13 hr to 7.5 hr. This feature seems to be unique to germ cells and may be associated with an increasing amount of heterochromatin in the nucleus. Excluding the development of type A1 cells, the entire process of spermatogonial maturation lasted for 208 hr. Combined data on cell cycle times indicated that every 313 hr or 13 days, a new sequence of spermatogonial differentiation was initiated by the A1 cells. This was equivalent to the duration of one 'cycle' of the seminiferous epithelium as measured by other techniques.  相似文献
