The responses of the Chinese Hamster ovary (CHO) cell lines TR3 (transformed) and LR73 (normal), as well as those of several independently-isolated spontaneous transformants of LR73 (termed LR73SA+ variants), to the histidine analogue L-histidinol and to L-histidinol/cytosine arabinoside combinations are presented. On the basis of relative cell survival assays, L-histidinol protected both quiescent and proliferating LR73 cells from cytosine arabino-side (AraC) but enhanced the vulnerability of the transformed TR3 and LR73SA+ variants to AraC. These observations suggest that, for these CHO cell lines, the proliferative response to L-histidinol is determined by phenotypic status. 相似文献

We investigated various phenotypic characteristics of radiation-induced morphologically transformed C3H 10T1/2 mouse fibroblasts.
The cells were treated with 8 Gy x-rays, and type II/III foci were isolated. Cell lines were developed from these foci, and
subsequently clones were established from these focal lines. The clones were examined for DNA content, radiosensitivity and
inducible cell cycle arrests. Besides the morphological changes associated with the transformed state, the major difference
between the isolated focal lines or derived clones and the parental C3H 10T1/2 line was one of ploidy. The transformed cells
often displayed aneuploid and multiple polyploid populations. No change in the radiosensitivity of the transformed cells was
observed. Furthermore, the two major radiation- and staurosporine-induced G1 and G2 cell cycle arrests observed in the parental
cell line were also observed in the morphological transformants, suggesting that checkpoint function was normal.

Differentiation of cloned populations of immature B cells after transformation with Abelson murine leukemia virus 总被引:23,自引:0,他引:23
The nature of the target cell for Abelson virus transformation and the effect of transformation on B cell differentiation were studied with six cloned lines of nontransformed immature B lymphocytes. Three clones were at the pre-B cell stage of maturation prior to A-MuLV infection; two were at the B cell stage, and one appeared to represent a stage prior to rearrangement of the mu heavy chain gene. All six cloned lines could be transformed by Abelson virus. Many of the transformants of the pre-B cell clones underwent kappa light chain gene rearrangement and expression following viral infection. Distinct light chain gene rearrangements were segregated by further subcloning these transformed lines. Abelson virus infection of one cloned cell line believed to represent a stage of maturation prior to the pre-B cell stage produced pre-B cell transformants with a variety of heavy chain gene rearrangements. Thus B lymphoid target cells for Abelson virus are not restricted to a single developmental stage, and some transformed subclones can undergo extensive immunoglobulin gene rearrangements shortly after viral infection. 相似文献

Mouse teratocarcinoma cells derived from embryoid bodies of 129SVsl mice were cultured in vitro to permit their differentiation. These cells were then infected with simiam virus 40 (SV40) and 31 cloned cell lines (SVTER) were derived from these cultures. All 31 SVTER cell lines contained the SV40 tumor (T) antigen and grew as permanent lines in culture. Mock-infected embryoid body cultures did not give rise to permanent cell lines. The morphology of each SVTER cell line was distinct and did not change during successive subclonings. The growth properties and tumorigenic potential of all 31 SVTER cell lines were investigated. None of these lines produced tumors in 129SVsl mice. Each cell line was tested for its ability to (1) grow in medium containing 1% serum, (2) plate on cell monolayer, and (3) form clones in methocel suspension. Only three of the SVTER cell lines were transformed with respect to all three of these criteria. Most of these cell lines were minimal transformants. The SVTER cell lines were tested for creatine phospholinase (CPK), an enzyme activity chracteristic of mouse brain and muscle tissue, and the protease, plasminogen activator (PA) which is found in embryoid bodies and several differentiated cell types. Some of the SVTER cell lines contained high levels of CPK, while others had high levels of PA and a third group of cells contained neither enzyme activity. No SVTER cell line was found with high levels of both these enzyme activities. This result suggests that mutually exclusive sets of genes are expressed in these cells as might be expected from the distinct tissue distribution of the two enzyme activities studied. These SVTER cell lines may be useful in reconstructing developmental pathways of differentiating teratomas in vitro. 相似文献

BHK-21 cells were transformed with polyoma virus mutants Ts-a and Ts-25 by using a temperature shift from 31 to 39 C at 5 days after infection so that rescuable transformants could be isolated. Clones which yielded virus after fusion with mouse cells were scored and maintained at 39 C in the presence of antipolyoma virus antiserum. Generally, no infectious viral deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA) could be found in Hirt supernatant fractions of these lines when maintained at 39 C, but DNA-DNA reannealing measurements detected two to six viral genomes per diploid cell genome in the nuclear DNA. Fusion with permissive cells was not necessary to induce the synthesis of infectious virus; cell lines shifted to 31 C produce the equivalent of 100 viral genomes per cell after 5 days. In some cell lines up to 1% of the cells formed infectious centers upon a shift to 31 C, and 100% of the subclones of a line were inducible. Growth at 31 C selected for a noninducible population which was still transformed. 相似文献

Analyses of mutation in pSV2gpt-transformed CHO cells 总被引:3,自引:0,他引:3
We have developed a system to study mutations which affect expression of the E. coli xanthine-guanine phosphoribosyl transferase (XPRT) gene (gpt) in hypoxanthine-guanine phosphoribosyl transferase-deficient (HPRT-) Chinese hamster ovary (CHO) cells that have been transformed by the plasmid pSV2gpt. Several gpt-transformed cell lines have been isolated and characterized with respect to integrated pSV2gpt sequences, expression of the gpt gene, and cytotoxic and mutagenic responses to UV light. While the gpt-transformed CHO and wild-type CHO-K1-BH4 cell lines have similar cytotoxic responses to UV light, the gpt-transformed cell lines respond differently from the parental CHO-K1-BH4 cell line in terms of mutation induction. As with CHO-K1-BH4 HPRT mutants, spontaneous or induced XPRT mutants derived from the gpt+ cell lines can be selected for 6-thioguanine resistance (TGr). Analysis of cell-free extracts from a number of these TGr clones indicates that the mutant phenotype is due to the absence of XPRT activity. One transformant, designated AS52, has previously been described in limited detail. Here we describe additional characteristics of this cell line, as well as several related transformants. 相似文献

Nine variant cell lines isolated from cloned 7,12-dimethylbenz(a) -ahthracene transformed Balb/3T3 mouse cells by treatment with FUdR had growth parameters closely resembling nontransformed cells. Chromosome analysis of the variant lines demonstrated that six variants had a diminished number and three variants had an increased number of chromosomes compared to the parental transformed cell line. All variants had unique marker chromosomes not present in the parental transformed Balb/3T3 cells. The distribution of marker chromosomes and heterochromatin suggested that the initial event in variant formation was a reduction in chromosome number with a subsequent polyploidization of the reduced chromosome complement. 相似文献

Characterization of chemically and virally transformed variants of Madin-Darby canine kidney (MDCK) epithelial cells 总被引:3,自引:0,他引:3
Oncogenic derivatives of Madin-Darby canine kidney (MDCK) cells were isolated in the nude mouse, and nononcogenic anchorage-independent transformants were isolated in vitro following chemical mutagenesis in vitro. These transformed cell lines as well as a Moloney sarcoma virus (MSV) transformed line were characterized with respect to their serum and anchorage requirements, growth rates, final saturation densities, and sensitivities to contact inhibition. None of these in vitro growth characteristics were found to correlate with tumorigenicity in nude mice. One tumorigenic clone, MDCK-T1, was characterized with respect to serum-free growth requirements, cAMP production, and ornithine decarboxylase (ODC) activity. These cells exhibited a significant reduction in the PGE1 requirement for growth, they produced higher levels of cAMP, and they expressed a reduced level of ODC activity relative to the parental MDCK cells. These findings may reflect changes in growth control mechanisms which accompany kidney epithelial cell tumorigenesis and suggest that the study of transformed lines derived in this manner could lead to the identification of in vitro properties which are associated with malignancy. 相似文献

Lead and cadmium toxicity was evaluated in three mammalian cell lines (tumour : HeLa, transformed : XC and normal : NRK) by means of the modifications of the 3H-TdR incorporation rate in the nucleus of the treated cells. The three cell lines showed different degrees of sensitivity. Sensitivity depended on the line, metal, its concentration and duration of incubation. Cadmium was found to be at least five times more toxic than lead except at low concentration. The normal cell line was more sensitive to cadmium and less sensitive to lead than other lines. 相似文献

The composition of gangliosides was examined in a normal rat embryo fibroblast cell line (REF52) and in two viral transformants: a polyoma transformant (REF52-PyMLV) and a simian viral 40 transformant (REF52-SV40). The distribution of gangliosides in the cell lines was determined using gas-liquid chromatography and high-performance thin-layer chromatography. N-acetylneuraminic acid was the predominant sialic acid species detected in the three cell lines. The total ganglioside concentration (microgram/100 mg dry weight of cells) in the normal, PyMLV, and SV40 lines was 144.7 +/- 10.4, 153.8 +/- 9.2, and 86.1 +/- 6.8, respectively. Gangliosides GM3, GM2, GM1, and GD1a were the major species in the normal and transformed lines. The distribution of these gangliosides, however, differed markedly between the normal and the transformed lines and also between the transformed lines themselves. The transformed cells also differed from the normal cells in growth rate, morphology, and social behavior. The cell line with highest GM3 content (PyMLV) formed islands, whereas the normal and SV40 cell lines, which had lower GM3 levels, grew as monolayers. The findings suggest that PyMLV and SV40 transformation can have multiple and different effects on cellular ganglioside distribution and growth behavior. 相似文献

Transformation by the oncogenic virus SV40 has been shown to alter the expression of cellular genes at the level of RNA abundance. Many of these genes have yet to be identified. We have determined, by Northern blot analysis, the abundance levels of several growth-regulated genes in SV40-transformed cell lines to determine if their expression is altered and correlates with the ability of SV40 transformed cells to grow in low serum containing media. The mRNA abundance levels of the G1-specific genes 2A9/calcyclin, 2F1/translocase, and 4F1/vimentin were determined in the parental hamster fibroblast cell line, tk-ts13, and in two SV40 transformants, HR5 and HR8 cells, grown in medium containing 10% calf serum (normal medium) and in HR5 and HR8 cells adapted to passage in medium containing low serum. A spontaneous transformant of the parental line capable of growth in low serum in the absence of SV40 transformation (tk-ts13/1%), was also included in these studies. The low serum adapted SV40-transformed cells and the spontaneous tk-ts13 transformed cells grew more vigorously than their nonadapted counterparts in medium containing low serum. The low serum adapted cells also grew to higher saturation densities in low serum and to densities comparable to those in high serum, whereas the nonadapted cells grew to low saturation densities in low serum, but not as low as the untransformed parental.(ABSTRACT TRUNCATED AT 250 WORDS) 相似文献

A retrovirus encoding polyoma middle T antigen has been used to infect a murine hemopoietic cell line (FDC-P1) dependent on either granulocyte-macrophage colony-stimulating factor (GM-CSF) or multipotential colony-stimulating factor (Multi-CSF). A number of cell lines have been established on the basis of their initial ability to proliferate in the absence of added colony-stimulating factor (CSF). The transformed lines display one of three patterns of growth in vitro: those able to grow fully autonomously; those whose proliferation depends on cell density; and those displaying dependence on added CSF regardless cell density. This latter class of cells are reminiscent of the majority of primary myeloid leukemic cells. Unlike parental FDC-P1 cells, all three classes of transformed cells are leukemogenic in syngeneic mice; moreover, they produce variable amounts of GM-CSF which we believe underlies their neoplastic behavior. 相似文献

Human skin fibroblasts deficient in peroxisome biogenesis were transformed by transfecting SV40 ori- DNA with the use of an electroporator, and the biochemical, immunocytochemical, and cytogenetic properties of the transformants were analyzed. Cells (1 x 10(6)) from a patient with Zellweger syndrome and one with neonatal adrenoleukodystrophy were suspended with 2 micrograms of SV40 ori- DNA in PBS; then a high-voltage pulse (2000 V, 30 microseconds) was generated two times. Several colonies expressing large T-antigen were picked up 4 weeks after transfection. Doubling time of the transformants was about half of that and the saturation density was 5 to 10 times greater than that of the parental cells. Biochemical abnormalities including defective lignoceric acid oxidation, dihydroxyacetone phosphate acyltransferase deficiency, and disturbed biosynthesis of peroxisomal beta-oxidation enzymes were preserved in the transformants. Peroxisomes were defective in all colonies, as determined by immunofluorescence staining using anti-catalase IgG. Cell fusion studies confirmed that the transformants belong to the same complementation groups as those of the parental cells. These transformed mutant cell lines are expected to be useful tools for investigating the pathogenesis of inherited diseases related to defects in peroxisome biogenesis. 相似文献

Simian virus 40 (SV40)-mediated transformation of human fibroblasts offers an experimental system for studying both carcinogenesis and cellular aging, since such transformants show the typical features of altered cellular growth but still have a limited life span in culture and undergo senescence. We have previously demonstrated (D. S. Neufeld, S. Ripley, A. Henderson, and H. L. Ozer, Mol. Cell. Biol. 7:2794-2802, 1987) that transformants generated with origin-defective mutants of SV40 show an increased frequency of overcoming senescence and becoming immortal. To clarify further the role of large T antigen, we have generated immortalized transformants by using origin-defective mutants of SV40 encoding a heat-labile large T antigen (tsA58 transformants). At a temperature permissive for large-T-antigen function (35 degrees C), the cell line AR5 had properties resembling those of cell lines transformed with wild-type SV40. However, the AR5 cells were unable to proliferate or form colonies at temperatures restrictive for large-T-antigen function (39 degrees C), demonstrating a continuous need for large T antigen even in immortalized human fibroblasts. Such immortal temperature-dependent transformants should be useful cell lines for the identification of other cellular or viral gene products that induce cell proliferation in human cells. 相似文献

A soybean cytosolic glutamine synthetase gene (GS15) fused to a constitutive promoter (CaMV 35S), a putative nodule-specific promoter (LBC(3)), or a putative root-specific promoter (rolD) was transformed into Pisum sativum L. cv. Greenfeast. Four lines with single copies (Lines 1, 7, 8 and 9) and four lines with two copies each of GS15 (Lines 2, 4, 6 and 11) were compared to the wild-type (WT) parental line for levels of cytosolic glutamine synthetase (GS1), glutamine synthetase (GS) activity, N accumulation, N derived form the atmosphere (NDFA), and biomass of plants grown on 0.0, 0.1, 1.0 or 10.0 mM NH(4)(+). Enhanced levels of GS1 were detected in leaves of one of the two lines transformed with the 35S-GS15 construct, and all three lines containing the rolD-GS15 construct. All three lines containing the LBC(3)-GS15 construct had increased levels of GS1 in nodules. Despite the increased levels of GS1 in many transformants, only the roots of lines containing the rolD-GS15 construct consistently demonstrated enhanced levels of GS activity (up to 12-fold). Positive responses in plant N content, NDFA, and biomass were rare, but increases in plant biomass and N content of up to 17% and 54%, respectively, occurred in some of the rolD-GS15 lines at certain levels of ammonium. In general, GS15 copy number did not seem to differentially affect phenotype of the transformants, and transformants respond to ammonium concentrations in similar patterns to that previously observed with nitrate. Despite the fact that the rolD-GS15 transformants consistently resulted in increased GS activity in roots and resulted in some occurrences of increases in biomass and plant N content, the lack of consistent positive growth effect across all transformants indicates that the generalized overexpression of GS1 in tissues holds little potential for positive growth responses in pea. 相似文献

Rat 3T3 cells transformed by simian virus 40 were injected into rats to examine their capacity to develop into tumors. Both large T-dependent (N) transformants and large T-independent (A) transformants were used. All the transformed cell lines contained large T and small t and could multiply efficiently in agar. Only some transformants could develop into tumors. All tumor cells examined had lost both large T and small t. Tumor cells in which the viral genome could still be detected were found together with tumor cells in which the simian virus 40 DNA could no longer be detected. N transformants which displayed the transformed phenotype in a temperature-sensitive manner became temperature insensitive during tumor formation. 相似文献

Production of non-defective and defective oligomers of viral DNA in mouse 3T3 cells transformed by a thermosensitive mutant of polyoma virus 总被引:1,自引:0,他引:1
Cultures of three lines of mouse 3T3 cells transformed independently by the thermosensitive ts-a mutant of polyoma virus yield virus upon lowering their incubation temperature to 31°C. At 31°C, the internal pools of DNA of all three lines contain not only superhelical viral monomers, but also a small proportion of viral oligomers.From one of these three cell lines, several sublines of different clonal morphology were isolated at 38.5°C. The viral DNA synthesized at 31°C by each different subline displayed a unique oligomer pattern which has been stable through many cell passages and further reclonings. In contrast to the parental line, the monomer in most of these sublines is a minor component of the viral DNA pool. In one subline, more than 80% of the viral DNA consists of superhelical molecules about 1.6-times the size of a monomer. The specific infectivity of these molecules is only about one-tenth that of monomers, whereas the efficiency in transforming hamster (BHK21) cells is about twice that of monomers. 相似文献

Transformation of rodent cells with isolated restriction endonuclease fragments of herpes simplex virus type 2 DNA identified a region of the genome located between map positions 0.58 and 0.62. These sequences were cloned into pBR322, and the recombinant plasmid was used to transform primary rat embryo cells and NIH 3T3 cells. The transformants were selected for their ability to form dense foci on a monolayer or to form colonies in semisolid medium. In contrast to the parental rat or mouse cells, cell lines transformed with the cloned herpes simplex virus type 2 fragment grow to high saturation densities, replicate in medium containing 1% serum, form colonies in dilute methylcellulose, show reduced levels of fibronectin, and are tumorigenic in nude mice and in their syngeneic hosts. Southern blot hybridizations have detected sequences homologous to the viral fragment in high-molecular-weight DNA from the transformed cell lines that are not present in DNA from normal rodents. In all cases, the plasmid DNA was present in less than one copy per cell, and the patterns of viral sequences changed with passage of the cell line in vivo. 相似文献
