Abstract. The tumour promotor 4 β -phorbol 12-myristate 13-acetate (TPA) reduces the rate of junction formation between V79 Chinese hamster lung cells in culture but not between BHK21/13 Syrian hamster fibroblasts. TPA may act on all cells but only affect junction formation in those situations where the rate of junction formation is already low. 相似文献

The effect of 12-O-tetradeconylphorbol-13-acetate (TPA) on gap junction assembly between Novikoff hepatoma cells was examined. Cells were dissociated with EDTA to single cells and then reaggregated to form new junctions. When TPA (25 nM) was added to the cells at the onset of the 60-min reaggregation, dye transfer was detected at only 0.6% of the cell-cell interfaces compared to 72% for the untreated control and 74% for 4-alpha TPA, an inactive isomer of TPA. Freeze-fracture electron microscopy of reaggregated control cells showed interfaces containing an average of more than 600 aggregated intramembranous gap junction particles, while TPA-treated cells had no gap junctions. However, Lucifer yellow dye transfer between nondissociated cells via gap junctions was unaffected by 60 min of TPA treatment. Therefore, TPA dramatically inhibited gap junction assembly but did not alter channel gating nor enhance disassembly of preexisting gap junction structures. Short term TPA treatment (< 30 min) increased phosphorylation of the gap junction protein molecular weight of 43,000 (Cx43), but did not change the cellular level of Cx43. Cell surface biotinylation experiments suggested that TPA did not substantially reduce the plasma membrane concentration of Cx43. Therefore, the simple presence of Cx43 in the plasma membrane is not sufficient for gap junction assembly, and protein kinase C probably exerts an effect on assembly of gap junctions at the plasma membrane level. 相似文献

The tumor promoter TPA is found to inhibit gap junction permeability in monolayer cultures of hamster fibroblasts. This effect is associated with an increase in intracellular pH. Here we show that neither an increase in pHi alone nor TPA treatment under conditions preventing pHi-shift affect gap junction permeability. It is not the level of pHi reached, but rather the pHi-shift itself that is essential for the inhibition of gap junction permeability in the presence of TPA. 相似文献

Currently little is known about the regulation of gap junction communication in the lens. We report here on the effects of the protein kinase C activator, 12-O-tetradecanoylphorbol-13-acetate (TPA), on cultured bovine lens cells which appeared to be epithelial in nature. Dramatically reduced intercellular transfer of the fluorescent dye Lucifer yellow was observed when the cultured lens cells were treated with octanol, a known inhibitor of gap junction communication. TPA (4 beta isomer) was also shown to reduce intercellular permeability within these cultures. In contrast, an inactive form of TPA, 4 alpha-TPA, did not decrease dye transfer. Permeability was evaluated in terms of both the number of cells receiving dye and the rate of decrease in fluorescence intensity in the injected cell. The maximum decreases in dye transfer occurred at 2 h of TPA treatment and dye transfer gradually increased to control levels over a time course of many hours. Incubation of cultures with 32Pi and immunoprecipitation using antibodies to the N- and C-terminal regions of connexin43 demonstrated a gap junction phosphoprotein of 43,000 Da. Phosphorylation of connexin43 increased during the first 2 h of TPA treatment. These results suggest that protein kinase C has a direct or indirect effect on gap junction communication in cultured lens cells. 相似文献

Simian virus 40 (SV40)-transformed Syrian hamster kidney cells produce infectious SV40 virus particles after treatments which damage DNA, such as UV irradiation or mitomycin C treatment. We have found that the induction of SV40 by DNA-damaging agents is greatly stimulated when a typical tumor promoter, 12-O-tetradecanoylphorbol 13-acetate (TPA), is present in the medium. Phorbol, which has a molecular structure similar to TPA but does not have any tumor-promoting activity, showed no such stimulatory effect on SV40 induction. This apparent synergistic effect of DNA-damaging agents and tumor promoter (TPA) was more pronounced when a tumor initiator, benzo [a]pyrene or 2-acetamido-fluorene, was combined with TPA. The effect of TPA on UV-triggered SV40 induction was greatly influenced by the timing of TPA addition to the culture medium, which was most efficient when addition of TPA was 5 to 20 h before UV irradiation. The effect of TPA, however, was not observed in SV40 rescue from hamster cells by cell fusion with permissive monkey (C7) cells. 相似文献

Previous studies showed that the pesticide lindane (gamma-hexachlorocyclohexane) inhibits gap junction intercellular communication in rat myometrial cells. The present study tested the hypothesis that lindane and the phorbol ester 12-O-tetradecanoylphorbol-13-acetate (TPA) inhibit gap junction communication in rat myometrial and liver WBr-F344 cells by the common mechanism of increasing phosphorylation of the gap junction protein connexin43. We evaluated changes of connexin43 phosphorylation using Western blot of standard SDS-PAGE gels and cell immunostaining, and we monitored gap junction communication using microinjection and transfer of Lucifer yellow dye. Exposure of rat myometrial cells to lindane or TPA nearly abolished dye transfer but did not alter the electrophoretic mobility of connexin43, and neither lindane nor TPA increased phosphorylation of connexin43 as assessed by immunoblot with anti-phospho-connexin43 (S368) antibody. However, TPA increased punctate immunofluorescence staining of phospho-connexin43 (S368) in myometrial cells whereas lindane had no such effect. In WBr-F344 cells, lindane and TPA inhibited dye transfer. Lindane increased immunostaining for phospho-connexin43 (S368) in WBr-F344 cells without altering the abundance, electrophoretic mobility or phosphorylation of connexin43 as detected in immunoblots. TPA intensified a slower migrating connexin43 band and increased phospho-connexin43 (S368) in immunoblots, and intensified phospho-connexin43 immunostaining at WBr-F344 cell interfaces and nuclear regions. These results show that phosphorylation of connexin43 at serine 368 occurred in cell and toxicant specific manners and was independent of changes in electrophoretic mobility in standard SDS-PAGE gels. Moreover, lindane inhibited gap junction communication in myometrial cells by a mechanism that was not be explained by changes in phosphorylation of connexin43. 相似文献

A potent mouse skin tumor promoter, 12-O-tetradecanoylphorbol-13-acetate (TPA), enhanced the increase in the size of aggregates of Chinese hamster V79 C-2 cells cultured in rotation flasks for 24 h. The effective concentrations of TPA were 1-100 ng/ml. Phorbol used as the negative control did not enhance aggregate formation of V79 C-2 cells. When aggregates that had formed in culture with TPA for 24 h were transferred to normal medium and cultured for another 24 h in rotation culture, aggregate size was not markedly enhanced as compared with that in the control culture. These results suggest that some changes produced in the cell surface by TPA remain irreversible on further culture in normal medium. No such difference in aggregate-forming activity was found in aggregates formed with phorbol. Dimethyl sulfoxide (DMSO) as the solvent had no effect at the concentrations used in these experiments. 相似文献

Phorbol ester stimulates the hydrolysis of phosphatidylethanolamine in leukemic HL-60, NIH 3T3, and baby hamster kidney cells 总被引:4,自引:0,他引:4
Treatment of leukemic HL-60, NIH 3T3, and baby hamster kidney (BHK-21) cells, prelabeled with [2-14C]ethanolamine, with 12-O-tetradecanoylphorbol-13-acetate (TPA), a potent activator of protein kinase C, resulted in increased degradation of both 14C-labeled phosphatidylethanolamine and its alkenyl (plasmalogen) derivate. A half-maximal and a maximal (approximately 3.4-fold) stimulation of ethanolamine phospholipid degradation required 3 and 10-20 nM TPA, respectively. TPA had a similar concentration-dependent stimulatory effect on the hydrolysis of phosphatidylcholine in cells previously prelabeled with [methyl-14C]choline. Increased phospholipid degradation was not accompanied by the formation of lysophosphatidylethanolamine, indicating that a phospholipase A-type enzyme was not involved. About 80% of total water-soluble degradation products was ethanolamine, suggesting that phospholipid hydrolysis was catalyzed by a phospholipase D-type enzyme. Increased formation of ethanolamine with exposure of cells to TPA was observed only after a 10-min lag period. Mezerein, bryostatin, sn-1-oleoyl-2-acetylglycerol, and polymyxin B, all of which mimic the action of TPA on protein phosphorylation in vivo, also stimulated the hydrolysis of ethanolamine phospholipids in HL-60 cells, suggesting that the TPA effect was mediated by protein kinase C. 相似文献

Phorbol ester tumor promoters and growth factors rapidly stimulate ornithine decarboxylase activity in the transformed hamster fibroblast line HE68BP. We report here a close correspondence between the time courses and magnitudes of induction of ornithine decarboxylase activity and immunoreactive ornithine decarboxylase protein following treatment of HE68BP cells with 12-O-tetradecanoylphorbol 13-acetate (TPA) and/or refeeding with fresh medium. Cycloheximide addition to induced cells caused a rapid fall in the levels of both ornithine decarboxylase activity and ornithine decarboxylase protein. Northern blot analysis of RNA isolated from HE68BP cells indicated that treatment with TPA and fresh medium increased the amount of two species of mRNA of lengths 2.4 and 2.1 kilobase. This increased accumulation of ornithine decarboxylase mRNA corresponded temporally to that observed at the protein level, with a 15-fold maximal induction 7 h after treatment followed by a rapid decline in hybridizable RNA. These data indicate that stimulation of ornithine decarboxylase activity by TPA or refeeding involves changes in levels of ornithine decarboxylase mRNA as well as changes in the rate of synthesis of ornithine decarboxylase protein. 相似文献

The tumor promoter 12-O-tetradecanoyl-phorbol-13-acetate (TPA) does not increase the sister-chromatid exchange (SCE) frequency in either Chinese hamster ovary (CHO) or lung (V 79) cells which are cultured in the presence of 5-bromodeoxyuridine. Moreover, TPA does not alter the induction of SCEs in CHO cells by mitomycin C during the first 3 cycles following addition of the alkylating agent. These SCE induction data do not by themselves support the hypothesis that tumor promotion by TPA depends on the enhancement of mitotic recombination. 相似文献

The effect of a tumor promoter, 12-O-tetradecanoyl-phorbol 13-acetate (TPA) alone and in combination with mitomycin C (MMC) or cyclophosphamide (CPP) on the induction of sister-chromatid exchanges (SCE) in Chinese hamster V79 cells was investigated. TPA alone at various doses and durations caused no increase of SCE frequency. MMC either at the dose of 0.03 or 0.003 μg/ml alone or in combination with TPA (2 μg/ml) all caused a significant increase of SCE frequencies. There was no difference in SCE frequencies between the cultures treated with MMC alone at 0.03 μg/ml and those treated with MMC plus TPA. However, cultures treated with MMC at 0.003 μg/ml plus TPA had significantly and consistently higher SCE frequencies than those treated with MMC alone at all durations. Treatment of CPP at 1 μg/ml activated by S9 mix caused significant increase of SCE frequencies. Surprisingly, the cultures treated with CPP, S9 mix plus TPA (2 μg/ml) caused a drastic reduction of SCE frequencies as compared to those treated with CPP and S9 mix only at all durations. These results indicate that TPA alone had no effect on SCE in V79 cells. TPA enhanced the SCE induction in V79 cells treated with MMC at a low dose, i.e. 0.003 μg/ml, but it inhibited SCE induction in cultures treated with the indirect mutagen CPP. Thus, TPA has no direct effect on genetic materials but it may indirectly alter the effects of a mutagen. 相似文献

The present paper deals with effects of 12-O-tetradecanoylphorbol-13-acetate (TPA) on the frequency of induced mutations to 6-mercaptopurine (6MP) and ouabain resistance in Chinese hamster and mouse cells. UV light, bovine adenovirus 3(BAV-3) and 5-bromodeoxyuridine (BrdU) were used as mutagens. TPA was shown to raise the frequency of gene mutations induced by UV light and BAV-3 but it did not enhance the mutagenic effect of BrdU. We also examined the ability of BAV-3 and BrdU to induce tumours in mice. BrdU was shown to have no carcinogenic effect. The results suggest that TPA enhances the mutagenic effect only for carcinogenic mutagens. 相似文献

Nectin-1 is a member of the immunoglobulin superfamily and a Ca(2+)-independent adherens junction protein involved in synapse formation. Here we show that nectin-1alpha undergoes intramembrane proteolytic processing analogous to that of the Alzheimer's disease amyloid precursor protein, mediated by a presenilin (PS)-dependent gamma-secretase-like activity. 12-O-tetradecanoylphorbol-13-acetate (TPA) treatment of Chinese hamster ovary cells activated a first proteolytic event, resulting in ectodomain shedding of nectin-1alpha. Subsequent cleavage of the remaining 26-kDa membrane-anchored C-terminal fragment (CTF) was inhibited independently by three specific gamma-secretase inhibitors and by expression of the dominant negative form of PS1. The PS/gamma-secretase-like cleavage product was detected in vivo following proteasome inhibitor treatment of cells. An in vitro gamma-secretase assay confirmed the generation of a 24-kDa nectin-1alpha intracellular domain, peripherally associated with the membrane fraction. We also found nectin-1alpha to interact with the N-terminal fragment of PS1. Finally, gamma-secretase inhibition resulted in beta-catenin release from cell junctions, concomitantly with the accumulation of the 26-kDa nectin-1alpha CTF, suggesting that high levels of nectin-1alpha CTF interfere with TPA-induced remodeling of cell-cell junctions. Our results are consistent with a previously reported role for PS/gamma-secretase in adherens junction function involving cleavage of cadherins. Similar to nectin-1, other members of the immunoglobulin superfamily involved in synapse formation may also serve as substrates for PS/gamma-secretase-like intramembrane proteolytic activity. 相似文献

The mutagenic and carcinogenic effect of two EcoRI-fragments of bovine adenovirus type 3 (BAV-3) DNA inserted into pBR325 has been studied. The C fragment (located between 3,6 and 19,7 map units) contains the viral oncogene, the C fragment (between 44,3 and 63,7 map units) displays no transforming activity. It has been established that oncogene BAV-3 statistically true increases the yield of mutants resistant to 6-mercaptopurine (6MP) in Chinese hamster cells. The C fragment, pBR325 without viral sequences and DNA fragments of different molecular weights from normal Syrian hamster cells have no mutagenic effect. The control over tumor formation in syngenic mice after injection of C3H10T 1/2 and D. C fragments and pBR325 treatment exposed a parallelism between the mutagenic and transforming effect. The study of the combined effect of viral DNA fragments and the tumor promoter 12-O-tetradecanoylphorbol-13-acetate (TPA) which increases the transforming activity of different carcinogens, shows that the promoter increases the frequency of mutants after viral oncogene treatment and does not induce mutagenic activity of those types of DNA which are unable to transform the cells. 相似文献

Inhibition of connexin43 gap junctional intercellular communication by TPA requires ERK activation 总被引:13,自引:0,他引:13
The phorbol ester, 12-O-tetradecanoylphorbol-13-acetate (TPA), is a potent inhibitor of gap junctional intercellular communication (GJIC). This inhibition requires activation of protein kinase C (PKC), but the events downstream of this kinase are not known. Since PKC can activate extracellular signal regulated kinases (ERKs) and these also downregulate GJIC, we hypothesized that the inhibition of GJIC by TPA involved ERKs. TPA treatment (10 ng/ml for 30 min) of WB-F344 rat liver epithelial cells strongly activated p42 and p44 ERK-1 and -2, blocked gap junction-mediated fluorescent dye-coupling, and induced connexin43 hyperphosphorylation and gap junction internalization. These effects were completely prevented by inhibitors of PKC (bis-indolylmaleimide I; 2 microM) and ERK activation (U-0126; 10 microM). These data suggest that ERKs are activated by PKC in response to TPA treatment and are downstream mediators of the gap junction effects of the phorbol ester. 相似文献

Tumor promoters are a class of chemicals which, when given to cells in vitro or to organisms that have been previously exposed to physical or chemical carcinogens, decrease the latency period for the appearance of transformed colonies or tumors. 12-O-tetradecanoyl phorbol-13-acetate (TPA), a powerful tumor promoter, has been shown to inhibit metabolic cooperation in V79 Chinese hamster cells and rat hepatocytes as well as between mouse epidermal and 3T3 cells. We report comparative studies utilizing V79 and CHO cells indicating that metabolic cooperation is inhibited by TPA in V79 cells while CHO cells show the opposite response with a slight enhancement of metabolic cooperation following promoter treatment. We speculate that these observations are the result of membrane differences between these cell lines. 相似文献

Control of CYP11B2 gene expression through differential regulation of its promoter by atypical and conventional protein kinase C isoforms 总被引:1,自引:0,他引:1
We reported previously that the protein kinase C (PKC) inhibitor GF109203X stimulated the hamster CYP11B2 promoter activity in transfected NCI-H295 cells. PKCalpha, -epsilon, and -zeta were detected in hamster adrenal zona glomerulosa and NCI-H295 cells, and PKCtheta in NCI-H295 cells. 12-O-Tetradecanoylphorbol-13-acetate (TPA) inhibited basal and stimulated cytochrome P450 aldosterone synthase mRNA expression by angiotensin (AII), dibutyryl cyclic adenosine 3':5'-monophosphate (Bt2cAMP), or KCl in NCI-H295 cells. Basal CYP11B2 promoter activity was inhibited in cells cotransfected with constitutively active (CA) PKCalpha, -epsilon, and -theta mutants, whereas it was increased with CA-PKCzeta. Dominant negative (DN) PKCalpha, -theta, -epsilon, and -zeta mutants stimulated the promoter activity. AII-, KCl-, and Bt2cAMP-stimulatory effects were abolished in cells cotransfected with CA-PKCalpha, -epsilon, or -theta. The effect of Bt2cAMP was abolished by CA-PKCzeta but AII and KCl were still able to enhance the promoter activity. DN-PKCalpha, -epsilon, -theta, or -zeta did not inhibit these effects. G?6976 enhanced promoter activity, providing further evidence that PKCalpha was involved. Various CYP11B2 promoter constructs were used to identify the area associated with TPA and PKC inhibition. TPA and CA-PKCalpha, -epsilon, or -theta abolished the effects of AII, KCl, and Bt2cAMP on the activity of -102 and longer constructs. In summary, our findings suggest that the hamster CYP11B2 gene is under differential control by conventional (alpha) and atypical (zeta) PKC. 相似文献

Antipain (AP) and 12-O-tetradecanoyl-phorbol-13-acetate (TPA) were tested in V79 Chinese hamster cells for cytotoxicity and effects on survival and 6-thioguanine-resistant (6TGr) mutation after UV-irradiation. AP and/or TPA were relatively non-cytotoxic and had no significant effects on UV survival. Despite their non-mutagenicity, the recovery of UV-induced 6TGr colonies was significantly enhanced by the pretreatment with either AP (0.5–2 mM) or TPA (0.1–1 μg/ml) only during the expression period before the 6TG selection at a low density of cells in the absence of AP or TPA. Such enhancing effects were maximal when AP or TPA was present during the late expression period after the mutation fixation and extensive dilution of DNA lesions. Reconstruction experiments revealed the antagonistic actions that TPA and AP tended to eliminate and increase, respectively, the metabolic co-operation. In the TPA-plus-AP treatment, AP abolished the TPA-enhanced recovery of induced mutants. Thus, it seems that TPA increases the mutant recovery largely through decreased metabolic co-operation and AP could modulate the mutation expression. Further, an error-prone inducible repair may not exist or, if it exists, AP may not inhibit it in V79 Chinese hamster cells. 相似文献

Nerve growth factor (NGF) has previously been shown to increase the rate of adhesion of PC-12 pheochromocytoma cells to cell culture dishes. This increase in the rate of adhesion was postulated to be important in NGF-mediated neurite outgrowth. We now report that epidermal growth factor (EGF) is also able to increase the rate of adhesion of PC-12 cells to cell culture dishes, but does not elicit neurite outgrowth. The dose-response curve for EGF is bell-shaped, in contrast to the more classically shaped dose-response curve obtained with NGF. Tetradecanoyl-phorbol-acetate (TPA), a potent tumor promoter, blocks the EGF-induced increase in adhesion rate of PC-12 cells, but does not alter the NGF-induced increase in adhesion rate. TPA shifts the EGF binding curve to the right for PC-12 cells, but does not alter maximal EGF binding at saturating concentrations of EGF. The binding of NGF to PC-12 cells is not affected by TPA. NGF-induced neurite formation by PC-12 cells is unaffected by TPA, in contrast to the previously reported delay of neurite outgrowth of serum-deprived neuroblastoma cells and NGF-exposed chick embryonic ganglia cells. NGF and EGF both cause a decrease in the number of short microvilli and an increase in the number of long microvilli on PC-12 cells. TPA blocks the decrease in the number of short microvilli in EGF-treated cells, but not in NGF-treated cells. Long microvilli formation is blocked by TPA in both conditions, suggesting the latter are not involved in the increased adhesion rates. 相似文献

The influence of some agents on gene amplification in Djungarian hamster and mouse cells was studied. The tumor promotor 12-O-tetradecanoylphorbol-13-acetate (TPA), the epidermal growth factor (EGF), insulin, and 5-bromodeoxyuridine (BUdR) increase the incidence of colchicine-resistance, connected with amplification of the genes, which probably encode the polypeptide p22. The highest frequency of gene amplification was observed after the pretreatment of cells with TPA, which enhanced the number of colchicine-resistant colonies 44-200-fold. Mitostatic agents colchicine and colcemid increased the number of methotrexate-resistant cells, 2.0-6.5 times. These cells usually arise as the result of amplification of dihydrofolate reductase genes. Dexamethasone and ethidium bromide did not change the portion of cells resistant to colchicine. Ethylmethane sulfonate (EMS) decreased the number of colchicine-resistant cells. The cells of two Djungarian hamster colchicine-resistant clones obtained after treatment with TPA did not differ from those of spontaneously derived colchicine-resistant clones. Both have similar survival patterns in the medium with different colchicine concentrations, unstable inheritance of the drug resistance, the additional chromosome 4 and small chromatin bodies-the structures containing the amplified genes. Possible mechanisms of the induction of gene amplification by the agents used are discussed. 相似文献
