The temperature sensitive leucyl-tRNA synthetase mutant tsHl and two revertants have been compared to the parental Chinese hamster ovary cells with respect to the effects of amino acid concentrations in the medium on growth. Elevating the leucine concentration 30- or 100-fold allowed tsHl to grow exponentially at 38.5 degrees C, normally the nonpermissive temperature. Partial revertants that had recovered some enzyme activity required smaller supplements for growth. Measurements of the leucine pools indicated that they respond directly to the extracellular leucine concentration and may mediate the effect. Use of combinations of amino acids confirmed that isoleucine has a similar though weaker effect on tsHl and identified an even weaker protection by valine. The triple combination of leucine, isoleucine and valine was a much more efficient medium supplement and three times normal concentrations of these amino acids supported growth of tsHl at 38.5 degrees C. It is postulated that they are acting at their respective aminoacyl-tRNA synthetases to help stabilize a complex which also contains the mutant leucyl-tRNA synthetase. The pool size measurements also showed that the leucine pools of tsHl and a revertant increased 2-fold more in a response to increased temperature than those of WT. It is suggested that this is a regulatory response to low leucyl-tRNA synthetase activity and is important in determining growth phenotypes. 相似文献

The influence of conditioned medium (CM) on cell physiology and recombinant protein production in Trichoplusia ni insect cells (T. ni, BTI-Tn-5B1-4) has been investigated. Cell cycle analysis showed that a high proportion of the cell population (80-90%) was in G1 during the whole culture, indicating that the S and G2/M phases are short relative to the G1 phase. Directly after inoculation, a rapid decrease of the S-phase population occurred, which could be observed as a lag-phase. The following increase in the number of cells in S occurred after 7 h of culture for cells in fresh medium, whereas for cells with the addition of CM it occurred at an earlier time point (5 h) and these cells had therefore a shorter lag-phase. The initial changes in the S-phase population were also affected by the inoculum cell density, as higher seeding cell densities resulted in a more rapid increase in the S-phase population after inoculation. These changes in cell cycle distribution were reflected in the cell size, and the CM-cells were smaller than the cells in fresh medium. Recombinant protein production in T. ni cells was improved by the addition of CM. The specific productivity was increased by 30% compared to cells in fresh medium. This beneficial effect was seen between 20 and 72 h of culture. In contrast, the highest specific productivity was obtained already at 7 h for the cells in fresh medium and then decreased rapidly. The total product concentration was around 30% higher in the culture with CM compared to the culture in fresh medium, and the maximum product concentration was obtained on day 2 compared to day 3 for the cells in fresh medium. Our results indicate that the positive effect on productivity by CM is related to its growth-promoting effect, suggesting that the proliferation potential of the culture determines the productivity. 相似文献

Calcium ion-dependent proliferation of L1210 cells in culture 总被引:2,自引:0,他引:2
J G Cory G L Carter R C Karl 《Biochemical and biophysical research communications》1987,145(1):556-562
Maximum growth of L1210 cells in culture required the presence of free extracellular calcium ions. Reducing the free extracellular calcium ion concentration with EGTA served to decrease the growth rate of the cells. The decrease in cell growth was not due to cell death but rather due to the "pile-up" of the L1210 cells in the GO/Gl phase of the cell cycle. With the readdition of excess calcium ions, there was a lag period of 3 to 6 hours before the L1210 cells initiated DNA synthesis or transited from the G0/G1 phase to S-phase. Cells enriched for S and G2/M phase by elutriation and which were incubated in EGTA-containing culture medium, continued through the cell cycle and were blocked in GO/Gl. These data indicate that the proliferation of L1210 cells in culture requires a calcium ion-dependent process to allow movement from the G0/G1 to S-phase of the cell cycle. 相似文献

The data obtained indicate that spontaneous mutations in Saccharomyces cerevisiae are formed during DNA replication. With no DNA replication in the lag-period, in the stationary growth phase, spontaneous mutations are not formed in cell culture during the G1 phase of cell cycle. Experimental data show the absence of primary spontaneously occurring DNA lesion accumulation in the cell G1 phase. Spontaneous mutations of yeasts are formed in the S phase of cell cycle, apparently as DNA replication errors. It is established that the frequency of spontaneous reversions of the leu2 gene in Saccharomyces cerevisiae strain NA3-24 increases when the cells are cultivated on the culture medium with different concentrations of leucine. 相似文献

Psoriasis is a chronic skin disease characterized by epidermal hyperproliferation, disturbed differentiation, and inflammation. It is still a matter of debate whether the pathogenesis of psoriasis is based on immunological mechanisms, on defective growth control mechanisms, or possibly on a combination of both. Several in vivo cell biological differences between psoriatic lesional epidermis and normal epidermis have been reported. However, it is not clear whether these changes are causal or consequential. In case that keratinocytes from psoriatic patients have genetically determined deficiencies or polymorphisms with respect to autocrine growth regulation and the response to inflammatory cytokines, we hypothesize that these differences should be maintained in culture. Here we have started a systematic comparison of first passage keratinocytes cultured from normal skin and uninvolved psoriatic skin to address the question whether there are intrinsic differences in basic cell cycle parameters. In an established, defined culture system using keratinocyte growth medium (KGM) we have determined: (i) cell cycle parameters of exponentially growing keratinocytes, (ii) induction of quiescence by transforming growth factor β1 (TGF-β1), and (iii) restimulation from the G0-phase of the cell cycle. Bivariate analysis of Iodo-deoxyuridine incorporation and relative DNA content was performed by flow cytometry. Within the limitations of this model no gross differences were found between normal and psoriatic keratinocytes with respect to S-phase duration (Ts), total cell cycle duration (Tc), responsiveness to TGF-β1 and the kinetics for recruitment from G0. In psoriatic keratinocytes we found a lower amount of cells in S-phase and a shorter duration of G1, compared to normal keratinocytes. The methodology developed here provides us with a model for further studies on differences between normal and psoriatic keratinocytes in their response to immunological and inflammatory mediators. © 1996 Wiley-Liss, Inc. 相似文献

Development of the mammalian embryonic palate depends on the precise temporal and spatial regulation of growth. The factors and mechanisms underlying differential growth patterns in the palate remain elusive. Utilizing quiescent populations of murine embryonic palate mesenchymal (MEPM) cells in vitro, we have begun to investigate hormonal regulation of palatal cell proliferation. MEPM cells in culture were rendered quiescent by 48 hr serum deprivation and were subsequently released from growth arrest by readdition of medium containing 10% (v/v) serum. The progression of cells into S-phase of the cell cycle was monitored by autoradiographic analysis of tritiated thymidine incorporation. Palate mesenchymal cell entry into S-phase was preceded by a 6- to 8-hr prereplicative lag period, after which time DNA synthesis increased and cells reached a maximum labeling index by 22 hr. Addition of 10 microM isoproterenol to cell cultures at the time of release from growth arrest lengthened the prereplicative lag period and delayed cellular entry into S-phase by an additional 2 to 4 hr. The rate of cellular progression through S-phase remained unaltered. The inhibitory effect of isoproterenol on the initiation of MEPM cell DNA synthesis was abolished by pretreatment of cells with propranolol at a concentration (100 microM) that prevented isoproterenol-induced elevations of cAMP. Addition of PGE2 to cell cultures, at a concentration that markedly stimulates cAMP formation, mimicked the inhibitory effect of isoproterenol on cellular progression into S-phase. These findings demonstrate the ability of the beta-adrenergic catecholamine isoproterenol to modulate MEPM cell proliferation in vitro via a receptor-mediated mechanism and raise the possibility that the delayed initiation of DNA synthesis in these cells is a cAMP-dependent phenomenon. 相似文献

Initiation of proliferation in density-inhibited chick embryo fibroblast cultures induced by insulin or trypsin was partially reversed by replacing the medium with supernatants from parallel non-stimulated cultures. Growth stimulation by neuraminidase, pokeweed mitogen, bacterial lipopolysaccharides or purified tuberculin was less, or not at all, affected by this procedure. Medium change per se caused some proliferation in non-stimulated cultures. Increased rate of sugar uptake in insulin-stimulated cultures returned to the level of that in non-stimulated cultures within a few hours after medium change. This reversion took place apparently irrespective of the phase of the cell cycle. Replacing the medium with supernatant from non-stimulated cultures induced a rapid decline in subsequent thymidine incorporation during the first S-phase, and completely abolished the second peak of DNA synthesis. The fraction of cells irreversibly committed to mitosis increased when the time after stimulation increased. Less than three hours' incubation with insulin or trypsin was needed to initiate proliferation of a significant fraction of the cell population. It is concluded that reversion of the initiated cycle of a given cell is no more possible after the cell has entered the S-phase. 相似文献

The ATM protein has been implicated in pathways controlling cell cycle checkpoints, radiosensitivity, genetic instability, and aging. Expression of ATM fragments containing a leucine zipper motif in a human tumor cell line abrogated the S-phase checkpoint after ionizing irradiation and enhanced radiosensitivity and chromosomal breakage. These fragments did not abrogate irradiation-induced G1 or G2 checkpoints, suggesting that cell cycle checkpoint defects alone cannot account for chromosomal instability in ataxia telangiectasia (AT) cells. Expression of the carboxy-terminal portion of ATM, which contains the PI-3 kinase domain, complemented radiosensitivity and the S-phase checkpoint and reduced chromosomal breakage after irradiation in AT cells. These observations suggest that ATM function is dependent on interactions with itself or other proteins through the leucine zipper region and that the PI-3 kinase domain contains much of the significant activity of ATM. 相似文献

Nine spontaneous and seven ethyl methanesulfonate induced revertants of the Chinese hamster ovary cell line mutant (tsHl), which possesses a temperature sensitive leucyl-tRNA synthetase, were isolated and characterized with respect to growth rate, leucyl-tRNA synthetase activity and thermolability, intracellular leucine pool size, and rRNA content. Although most revertants had increased leucyl-tRNA synthetase activity, and of those tested, all but one had increased thermostability, each appears to be unique. One revertant may be an intergenic suppressor since it appears to contain an elevated level of tsHl-like synthetase. There was no evidence for any of the revertants having increased rRNA and tRNA contents, however, many showed leucine pools two to three times larger than wild type cells. Since similar increases have been observed in tsHl cells they are believed to result from regulation of leucine pool size by the leucyl-tRNA synthetase and are of a magnitude sufficient to affect significantly the growth of revertants at 38.5 degrees C. 相似文献

A temperature-sensitive mutant of Chinese hamster cells is described which has two interesting properties: (1) it is a cell cycle mutant and (2) glycoprotein synthesis appears to be affected at the at the non-permissive temerature (40degreesC). Synchronized cells shifed to 40degreesC in the beginning of their G1 phase do not incorporate [3H]-thymidine into DNA during the expected S-phase, but once DNA synthesis has been initiated ( approximately 10 hours after termination of serum starvation) a shift to 40 degrees C no longer leads to an arrest of DNA synthesis. Flow microfluorimetric analysis of DNA content/cell supports this conclusion and indicates that a majority of cells become arrested in the G1 phase of the cell cycle when a non-synchronized population of cells is transferred to 40degreesC. Apparently at all times in the cell cycle there is a drastic reduction if incorporation of labeled sugars (particularly fucose) into glycoproteins. The uptake of fucose and its conversion to GDP-fucose appears to be normal at 40degreesC. Chromatographic analysis indicates that all classes of glycoproteins are affected, and we do not find any evidence for partially completed oligosaccharides at 40 degrees C. Overall protein synthesis is not reduced at he nonpermissive temperature during the time interval under consideration and the number of polysomes attached to membranes (RER) is also normal at 40degreesC. This suggests that the defect is at an early step in the synthesis or regulation of synthesis of glycoproteins. The mutation is a recessive mutation in hybrid cells and mutagen induced revertants can be obtained which grow normally at 40degreesC and in which glycoprotein synthesis at 40 degrees C is restored to normal, wild type levels. 相似文献

Withdrawal of a single amino acid (arginine) from freely cycling early passage primary human fibroblasts caused a halt to proliferation, characterized by an accumulation of cells in the G1 phase of the cell cycle. This arrest was accompanied by the suppression of cyclin D1- and cyclin E-associated kinase activities and the appearance of hypophosphorylated retinoblastoma protein. Arginine-deprived cells remained viable for in excess of 4 days and could be made to synchronously reenter the cell cycle by restoration of the amino acid, with kinetics characteristic of exit from a quiescent state. Stimulation of cells arrested by serum withdrawal did not result in S-phase entry when arginine was omitted from the culture medium. Although cyclin D1 accumulated on normal schedule, cdk4, which increased following restimulation in amino acid-replete medium, was not induced when arginine was absent. These results suggest that arginine deprivation-in common with other "suboptimal" conditions-inhibits the passage of normal human cells through the restriction point and implicate cdk4 as the key regulatory element in amino acid-sensitive cell cycle control. 相似文献

Myeloid colonies obtained by culturing mouse bone marrow cells with mouse lung conditioned medium were kept for up to 21 days in culture and the aminopeptidase content in single cells measured after staining with leucine 4-methoxy-2-naphthylamide. The enzyme was detectable only in mononuclear and not in granulocytic cells. The number of cells carrying the enzyme and the concentration of the enzyme in the mononuclear cells taken from whole dishes or single colonies increased remarkably but not uniformly from 7 days to maximal values at 13 days of culture, and then decreased again. The timing varied for individual colonies. Maximal enzyme concentrations were found in cells intermediate between the center and the fringe of a colony. However, most cells in a given colony showed concentration increases up to 13 days of culturing. During its life span in culture the mononuclear cell appears to gain aminopeptidase at the cell membrane and lose it again prior to death. 相似文献

There was shown a difference in the biological properties and the ultrastructure of two strains of brucellae, spheroplasts obtained from them under the action of penicillin, L-form and revertants obtained from the L-form. Spheroplasts formation was characterized by a change of brucellae into R-form and some virulence reduction. The cells had an outer and a cytoplasmic membranes, and usually lost their capacity to binary division. L-forms were obtained during the 9th and the 35th passage on a medium with penicillin; their formation was accompanied by the change in serological properties of the culture and significant reduction of the virulence; the cells were characterized by a marked polymorphism and the capacity to budding; they had 2 membranes on the cell surface and an intensively developed system of intracytoplasmic membranes. The revertants formed on the medium without penicillin during the 16th-30th passage or spontaneously on the medium with penicillin. They differed from the initial strains of brucella culture by a marked increase in penicillin-resistance, by the changes in serological properties, and also by polymorphism of cells, capable, however, of binary division. 相似文献

In vitro exposure of estrogen receptor-negative (ER-) EVSA-T human breast cancer cells to insulin and/or estradiol had no effect on cell cycle distribution, in contrast to a 3–5-fold increase in the percentages of cells in the S-phase of the cell cycle in the ER+ MCF-7 cell line. Estrogen pretreatment of MCF-7 cells followed by incubation with doxorubicin resulted in an augmented inhibition of cell growth compared to unstimulated controls. This delay in growth was accompanied by a decrease in the percentages of cells actively synthesizing DNA, and by an augmented percentage of cells exhibiting a G2M-amount of DNA at the end of a 6–9 day period of culture in complete growth medium. 相似文献

Lymphoblasts of the normal embryonic follicles of the chicken bursa of Fabricius undergo rapid apoptosis when exposed to gamma-radiation or when cell-cell contacts are disrupted by mechanical dispersion in short term culture. We have observed previously that overexpression of v-myc sensitizes preneoplastic bursal lymphoblasts to induction of cell death, whereas resistance to induced cell death is acquired during progression to neoplasia. In this study we observed extensive DNA degradation in the large majority of the lymphoblast population within the first hour after dispersion-induced apoptosis. Paradoxically these cells continued to progress into S-phase with the bulk of DNA cleavage and death occurring in S-phase cells (i.e., in cells with more than 2C and less than 4C DNA content). We confirmed the S phase status of apoptotic cells by determining that detection of nuclear cyclin A in individual cells also corresponded with detection of DNA breakage. Levels of cyclin E, cyclin E-dependent H1 histone kinase, and p53 proteins were maintained during dispersion-induced DNA cleavage. gamma-radiation failed either to inhibit cell cycle progression or to raise p53 levels in dispersed bursal lymphoblasts. In intact bursal follicles low doses of gamma-radiation induced p53 whereas higher, apoptosis-inducing doses failed to induce p53 or prevent G1 to S-phase progression. These results suggest that normal DNA damage-induced cell cycle checkpoint controls are lost or overridden when apoptosis is induced in bursal lymphoblasts. 相似文献

The effect of omission of individual amino acids from growth medium on the multiplication of Chlamydia psittaci (strain guinea pig inclusion conjunctivitis) in cycloheximide-treated McCoy cells has been examined. Marked differences were observed in the amounts of particular amino acids required for normal chlamydial multiplication: omission of either leucine, phenylalanine or valine completely inhibited multiplication, whereas absence of any one of another 10 amino acids had no effect on numbers of cells infected. Threshold concentrations of 80, 80 and approx. 8 nmol ml-1 for leucine, valine and phenylalanine, respectively, were needed for normal chlamydial multiplication. These requirements could not be related either to unusually high content in the whole organism, to degradation in the medium, or, from studies with leucine, to deficient association of leucine with host cells. Leucine deprivation at late stages of the developmental cycle also appeared to regulate multiplication. Possible mechanisms responsible for these effects are discussed. 相似文献

Long-term exposure to hypertonic (HT) culture media has been found to perturb the cell cycle and change gene expression in various animal cell types. A lower growth rate, with exit of cells from the cycling compartment has been observed previously in human transformed EUE. cells. The aim of this study was to investigate if the kinetic changes after long-term HT stress, were typical of transformed cells or could be also found in primary cultures of normal cells. Human transformed cells from normal and neoplastic tissues, and normal human cells of epithelial and connective origin have been studied. After the incorporation of bromodeoxyuridine (BrdUrd), the frequency of S-phase cells was estimated by dual-parameter flow cytometry of DNA content versus BrdUrd immuno-labelling; the total growth fraction was also estimated, after immunolabelling with an anti-PCNA antibody. We also investigated, by polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis, changes in the amount of a 35 kDa protien band, which increased in EUE cells grown in an HT medium, and which may be directly involved in cell resistance to hypertonicity. Lower BrdUrd labelling indices and higher frequencies of cells in the G0/1 range of DNA content were common features of all the cells in HT media, irrespective of their tissue of origin; other cycle phases may also be involved, depending on the cell type considered. The mechanisms by which cells cope with the HT environment could however, differ, since only some cell types showed an increase of the 35 kDa stress protein found originally in HT EUE cells. 相似文献

A method has been developed for the preparation of hepatocytes that contained 98.6% of that cell type with a yield of 50%. No change was detected in the DNA content per nucleus but losses were noted in RNA and proteins in freshly isolated hepatocytes. The hepatocytes have been kept alive for long periods in suspension or static cultures without any mitoses being observed. However DNA content doubled over a period of two weeks. This level was maintained during the third week. Tritiated thymidine incorportation similarly increased for a period of two weeks and then remained constant. RNA content went down rapidly to one fourth of the original level and remained unchanged thereafter. The protein content did not vary significantly. Incorporation of labelled leucine into proteins has also been measured at various periods of time following isolation of the cells. Even after 62 days in suspension culture, the hepatocytes continued to incorporate leucine into proteins. The incorporation of leucine proceeded through the normal pathway since the presence of t-RNA-bond-leucine was observed. The results reported here suggest that the hepatocytes are arrested in the G2 phase of the cell cycle. 相似文献
