The effect of lithium and trifluoperazine (TFP) was studied on cell proliferation in callus cultures of Amaranthus paniculatus. TFP (20 μM) and lithium (40 mM) inhibited the callus growth by 50% and 80%, respectively. The inhibition by lithium was reversed by the addition of myoinositol (2.5 mM). Equimolar concentration of NaCl, as that of LiCl, had no significant effect on callus growth. The activity of calmodulin was inhibited by TFP as tested both by in vivo and in vitro experiments. The level of phosphatidylinositol (PI) in calli grown on lithium was lower than the calli grown on the medium containing inositol alone. The activity of the enzyme glyoxalase-I was inhibited by lithium and TFP. The inhibition of the enzyme activity by lithium was reversed by the addition of inositol. Possible involvement of phosphoinositide cycle, calcium and calmodulin in cell proliferation in in vitro cultures is suggested.  相似文献

The development of enzyme patterns was followed in the course of: (a) the irreversible cell differentiation via division and expansion to maturity in the root tip and coleoptile of the intact seedlings, (b) the irreversible cell dedifferentation associated with induction and establishment of callus from the growing internodes, and (c) the growth cycle (proliferationstationary phase) in callus and cell-suspension cultures of maize (Zea mays L.). By measuring the activities of glycolytic, mitochondrial, microbody and hydrolytic enzymes cells proliferating in vivo and in vitro could be compared and changes related to cessation or resumption of cell division could be studied.Proliferating cells of callus and suspension cultures maintained by serial culture did not differ from those of the root meristem and coleoptile in the specific activities of hexokinase, phosphoglycerate kinase and phosphopyruvate hydratase. Proliferation in vitro resulted in an enormous increase in the ratio g glutamate-dehydrogenase/cytochrome-oxidase activity and in the level of acid-phosphatase activity, with concomitant drop in galactosidase and xylosidase activity. A 3-5-fold increase of alcohol-dehydrogenase, lactate-dehydrogenase and catalase activities was characteristic of dividing callus cells, while a ca. 100-fold increase in the fructofuranosidase-to-glucosidase activity ratio marked cell proliferation in suspension-cultured cells.Changing enzyme activities after cessation of proliferation were quite similar in root tips and coleoptiles, except those of alcohol dehydrogenase and catalase. The enzyme rearrangement during callus establishment and in the growth cycle of callus cultures was in most cases comparable to that in the intact tissues, while the changes from the dividing to the non-dividing cells in suspension cultures, in contrast, differed widely from those in the intact tissues and callus. Galactosidase and xylosidase were the only activities that showed a similar trend of changes in all the investigated, intact and in-vitro-grown cells.Thus, judged by the pattern of enzyme development, the cell suspension appears to be a unique system, virtually unrelated to the growing cells of the intact tissues. It is also very difficult to draw a definite distinction between the metabolic consequences of cell growth and enzyme modulations in cell suspensions as the cells adapt their metabolism to the environmental changes in liquid medium.  相似文献

Treatment of tobacco liquid suspension cultures with methylglyoxal bis(guanylhydrazone) (MGBG) an inhibitor of S-adenosylmethionine decarboxylase, resulted in a dramatic overproduction of a 35-kDa peptide on sodium dodecyl sulfate-polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis (Malmberg, R.L., and McIndoo, J. (1983) Nature 305, 623-625). MGBG treatment also resulted in a 20-fold increase in the activity of S-adenosylmethionine decarboxylase. Purification of S-adenosylmethionine decarboxylase from MGBG-treated cultures revealed that the overproduced 35-kDa peptide and S-adenosylmethionine decarboxylase are identical. Precursor incorporation experiments using [3H] methionine and [35S]methionine revealed that MGBG does not induce any increased synthesis of S-adenosylmethionine decarboxylase but rather stabilizes the protein to proteolytic degradation. The half-life of the enzyme activity was increased when MGBG was present in the growth medium. In addition to stabilizing S-adenosylmethionine decarboxylase, MGBG also resulted in the rapid and specific loss of arginine decarboxylase activity with little effect ornithine decarboxylase. The kinetics of this effect suggest that arginine decarboxylase synthesis was rapidly inhibited by MGBG. Exogenously added polyamines had little effect on ornithine decarboxylase, whereas S-adenosylmethionine and arginine decarboxylase activities rapidly diminished with added spermidine or spermine. Finally, inhibition of ornithine decarboxylase was lethal to the cultures, whereas inhibition of arginine decarboxylase was only lethal during initiation of growth in suspension culture.  相似文献

Foliar explants of Nicotiana tabacum cv Xanthi n.c. were cultured on four different media: a basal medium, basal medium plus benzyladenine, basal medium plus 2,4-dichlorophenoxyacetic acid (2,4-D), and the basal medium containing both hormones. No differentiation or cell division occurred in leaf explants cultured on the basal medium. Addition of benzyladenine caused the formation of buds on the explants, while 2,4-D caused callus formation and proliferation. Likewise, only callus was formed when explants were cultured on medium containing both hormones, but growth was significantly greater than that of callus grown on a medium containing 2,4-D alone. The levels of amines and hydroxycinnamoyl putrescines were determined in the four types of explants. In nongrowing explants, amines (except an aromatic amine, tyramine) and hydroxycinnamoyl putrescines were always at a low level and only small changes in their concentrations were observed. In callus cultures, amine (except an aromatic amine, phenethylamine) and hydroxycinnamoyl putrescine levels were higher than those found in bud cultures. In all the media, transitory accumulation of aromatic amines occurred after a few days of culture. Higher levels of hydroxycinnamoyl putrescines were attained in callus cultures with a slow growth rate (2,4-D alone) than in callus cultures with a fast growth rate (benzyladenine + 2,4-D). The formation of buds was accompanied by significant changes in putrescine and hydroxycinnamoyl putrescine levels. Increasing levels were found during the first 14 days in culture when cell multiplication was rapid, followed by a sharp decline after 20 days in culture as the rate of cell division decreased and differentiation took place. The relationship among amines, hydroxycinnamoyl putrescines, and cell division and bud formation is discussed.  相似文献

Cell division in suspension cultures obtained from leaf cellsof coconut was influenced by pH of the culture media. A 3-foldincrease in cell number was obtained at pH 7.0 compared to suspensionsgrowing at pH 5.0. The pH of both cells and media changed after48 h of growth. Internal cell pH showed a significant increasewhen cultures were grown at pH 7.0 and 8.0 and increased onlyslightly at pH 5.0 and 6.0. Glyoxalase-I activity of cells insuspension culture was found to be pH-depcndent, showing maximumactivity at pH 7.0. Glutathione, a co-enzyme for the substratemethylglyoxaJ for glyoxalase-I, produced a 2-fold increase incell number at a concentration of 5 x 10–3 mol dm –3.The polyamine, spermidine, promoted cell division maximallyat a concentration of 10–6 mol dm–3. Methylglyoxal-bis(guanylhydrazone), an inhibitor of spermidine biosynthesis,strongly inhibited cell division giving maximum inhibition ata concentration of 3 x 10–6 mol dm –3. These resultsindicate a positive correlation between cell division and glyoxalase-Iactivity. Key words: Cocos nucifera, glyoxalase-I, pH, spermidine  相似文献

MGBG [methylglyoxal bis(guanylhydrazone)], when added to the initial of callus subculture, promoted ethylene production in callus grawn in Bsh medium, and enhanced the ACC (1-aminocyclopropane-l-carboxylic acid) level and the ACC synthase activity both in the callus grown in Bsh medimn, and in the suspension cultures in Bsg liquid medium for induction of somatic embryogenesis. However, MGBG reduced the malonyl-ACC (MACC) level of the suspension tissues. The treatments of MGBG caused growth of the cultured tissues and induction efficiency of somatic embryogenesis to reduce. Moreover, the effects of MGBG was enhanced when it was added at induction medium of somatic embryogenesis. It could be concluded that this inhibitory effect of MGBG could be due to its promotion of ethylene, ACC levels and ACC synthase activity which has shown to inhibit somatic embryogenesis. The reduction of MACC level could be also involved in the MGBG effect on induction of the embryogenesis.  相似文献

Glucoamylase and α-amylase are present in callus and suspension cultures of sugar beets (Beta vulgaris L.) as well as in mature roots. The subcellular localization of glucoamylase differed in callus and suspension-cultured cells: in callus, glucoamylase was present together with α-amylase in the soluble fraction of cells, but in suspension cultures, it was present predominantly in the extracellular fraction while most of the α-amylase activity remained in cells. Glucoamylase activity was considerably lower in callus protoplasts relative to the activities of α-mannosidase and α-galactosidase and the suspension of callus in Murashige-Skoog liquid medium or in mannitol by brief agitation resulted in the release of glucoamylase to the medium. These findings suggest that glucoamylase in callus may be present in a soluble form in the free space in the cell wall. Both mature roots and callus contained α-amylase and glucoamylase in the soluble fraction. Glucoamylases in the soluble fraction of callus and in the medium of suspension cultures were purified separately to homogeneity by the same four-step purification procedure, which included fractionation with ammonium sulfate, column chromatography on carboxymethyl cellulose, gel filtration on Bio-Gel P-150, and preparative disc electrophoresis. The identity of the glucoamylases from the two sources was confirmed by a comparison of chromatographic behavior during purification, mobility during gel electrophoresis, Mr (83,000 D by SDS PAGE), and enzymic and kinetic properties of the catalytic reaction, such as optimal pH and temperature, heat stability, and Km value for soluble starch. Glucoamylase from suspension cultures was one of the major proteins that were secreted into the medium. Dedifferentiation of leaves of young plants to callus was accompanied by induction of glucoamylase and repression of some α-amylases and the debranching enzyme.  相似文献

The role of polyamines in myoblast proliferation was studied by treating cells of Yaffe's L6 line of rat myoblasts with inhibitors of polyamine synthesis. Both an irreversible inhibitor of ornithine decarboxylase--difluoromethyl-ornithine (DFMO)--and a competitive inhibitor of S-adenosyl-methionine decarboxylase--methylglyoxal-bis(guanylhydrazone) (MGBG)--depressed spermidine levels and inhibited myoblast proliferation. Spermine levels were not significantly depressed by either inhibitor and putrescine levels were decreased only by DFMO. Putrescine and spermidine, but not magnesium, prevented inhibition of myoblast proliferation by DFMO and MGBG; determination of 14C-DFMO uptake in the presence and absence of these compounds demonstrated that they did not reduce the rate or extent of inhibitor uptake and thus prevent its inhibition of ornithine decarboxylase. Thus it seems likely that these inhibitors reduce cell proliferation by inhibiting polyamine formation. Addition of spermidine to the cells led to a substantial reduction in the activity of S-adenosyl-methionine-decarboxylase, suggesting that the enzyme is subject to negative regulation by the products of the polyamine biosynthetic pathway. Unexpectedly, addition of spermidine also increased intracellular putrescine levels; this apparently resulted from conversion of spermidine to putrescine. Addition of putrescine or spermidine in the absence of serum did not increase the rate of myoblast proliferation although it did elevate intracellular polyamine levels as expected. We conclude that some threshold level of one or more polyamines (probably spermidine) is necessary but not sufficient for initiation and maintenance of myoblast proliferation in culture.  相似文献

We have previously reported that aseptically cultured mesophyll protoplasts of Vigna divide rapidly and regenerate into complete plants, while mesophyll protoplasts of Avena divide only sporadically and senesce rapidly after isolation. We measured polyamine titers in such cultures of Vigna and Avena, to study possible correlations between polyamines and cellular behavior. We also deliberately altered polyamine titer by the use of selective inhibitors of polyamine biosynthesis, noting the effects on internal polyamine titer, cell division activity and regenerative events.In Vigna cultures, levels of free and bound putrescine and spermidine increased dramatically as cell division and differentiation progressed. The increase in bound polyamines was largest in embryoid-forming callus tissue while free polyamine titer was highest in root-forming callus. In Avena cultures, the levels of total polyamines decreased as the protoplast senesced. The presence of the inhibitors -difluoromethyl-arginine (specific inhibitor of arginine decarboxylase) and dicyclohexylamine (inhibitor of spermidine synthase) reduced cell division and organogenesis in Vigna cultures. Addition of low concentration of polyamines to such cultures containing inhibitors or removal of inhibitors from the culture medium restored the progress of growth and differentiation with concomitant increase in polyamine levels.  相似文献

The effect of amino acids has been investigated with respect to the capacity ofBrassica cultures to undergo proliferation and differentiation. Hormone medium without any amino acid resulted in 6% shoot formation. Addition of optimal concentrations of L-leucine and L-isoleucine enhanced shoot formation upto 30% and 60%, respectively. L-methionine, L-threonine and pyruvic acid supported only proliferation but no differentiation. Amino acids had a marked effect on the activity of enzyme threonine deaminase (TD), bothin vivo andin vitro. TD in proliferating callus cultures was 3-fold higher than in differentiating cultures. Amino acids which induced cell proliferation increased TD while those which supported differentiation repressed it. Amino acids which did not alter TD activity had no effect on morphogenesis. The results suggest that amino acids play a regulatory role inBrassica morphogenesis which can be correlated with the activity of threonine deaminase.  相似文献

The effects of methylglyoxal bis(guanylhydrazone) (MGBG) onsomatic embryogenesis, titres of cellular polyamines and 1-aminocyclopropane-l-carboxylicacid, and the activity of arginine decarboxylase (ADC) werestudied using suspension cultures of carrot (Daucus carota L.).Whereas MGBG (0.1–0.5 mM) significantly inhibited thecellular levels of spermidine and spermine, putrescine levelswere higher in the treated tissue. MGBG also promoted ACC levelsin the cells. The activity of ADC was inhibited in the presenceof MGBG. Somatic embryogenesis in the auxin-free medium wascompletely inhibited by MGBG. The effects of MGBG on somaticembryogenesis were reversed by 0.1–0.2 mM spermidine butnot by spermine. These results are consistent with the suggestionthat an interaction between ethylene and polyamine bio-syntheticpathways through competition for the common precursor, S-adenosylmethionine,plays an important role in the development of somatic embryosin carrot cell cultures. 1Scientific Contribution Number 1649 from the New HampshireAgricultural Experiment Station.

Combined administration of methylglyoxal-bis-guanylhydrazone (MGBG) (25 mg/kg) with difluoromethylornithine (DFMO), or MGBG alone at a higher dose (50 mg/kg), to mice resulted in a decreased white cell count (WBC) in the peripheral blood while DFMO or MGBG alone at a lower dose (25 mg/kg) had no effect. As expected, DFMO alone increased the number of colony forming units spleen (CFU-s), colony forming units diffusion chamber granulocyte (CFU-dg) and colony forming units culture (CFU-c) in the bone marrow. MGBG treatment led to an increase in CFU-dg alone. Combined treatment seemingly had no effect on marrow stem cells. Total tibial and differential counts were not affected by any of the treatments. Cell proliferation in diffusion chamber cultures, as judged by CFU-dg colony formation, was impaired by MGBG alone or in combination with DFMO, at dose levels which had no effect or increased the precursor cell number in the bone marrow. This effect was partially reversed with either putrescine or spermidine. Determination of intracellular polyamine concentrations, demonstrated decreased putrescine and spermidine levels after DFMO administration. As expected, MGBG treatment resulted in decreased spermidine and spermine levels, concomitant with an increase in putrescine. In mice which received both agents, rather than only MGBG, after 3 days higher intracellular polyamine concentrations were observed. After 11 days, however, there was no significant difference between the two groups.  相似文献

Sugar beet cells grown in batch suspension culture have been used to study the regulation of polyamine levels during the transition from a quiescent to a proliferating state. The quiescent state was achieved by maintenance of the phytohormone autonomous cells in the stationary phase of the batch culture cycle. After subculture into fresh medium there was an increase in DNA synthesis which was accompanied by a dramatic increase in cellular polyamine levels. The levels of both free and bound cellular putrescine and spermidine within the cells reached a peak before the onset of the first synchronous division. The levels of putrescine, spermidine and to some extent spermine in the culture medium also increased dramatically shortly after subculture. The increase in polyamines was preceded by a rapid but transient increase in omithine decarboxylase (EC 4.1.1.17) and S -adenosylmethionine decarboxylase (EC 4.1.1.50). Arginine decarboxylase (EC 4.1.1.19) and S -adenosylmethionine synthetase (EC 2.5.1.6) activity did not show the same pattern of cell division-related variation. Inhibition of S -adenosylmethionine biosynthesis with methylglyoxal bis-(guanylhydra-zone) (MGBG) reduced cell division in the suspension culture. Inhibitors of ornithine decarboxylase and arginine decarboxylase individually had little effect on cell division, but in combination led to a reduction in cell division. Addition of polyamines and their precursors to cells in the stationary phase of a batch culture cycle led to the induction of expression of a mitotic cyclin sequence ( BvcycII ).  相似文献

Exogenous spermidine (Spd) and methylglyoxal bis(guanylhydrazone) (MGBG), a putative inhibitor of Spd synthesis, improved somatic embryo formation of Scots pine (Pinus sylvestris L.). The induced maturation due to MGBG and Spd was accompanied by significantly retarded proliferation growth and by reduction in the concentration of free polyamines compared to the control cultures. The action of MGBG revealed that it has a non-specific effect on the whole polyamine metabolism of Scots pine. Furthermore, at certain concentrations it may induce plant differentiation as well.  相似文献

In Chrysanthemum leaf explants cultivated in vitro the capacity to covalently link polyamines to protein substances exists. This plant enzyme activity shows some similarities with mammalian transglutaminases. In foliar explants cultured on a medium promoting bud or root formation increasing levels of transglutaminase-like activity occurred during the first days of culture when cell multiplication was rapid then the levels declined as the rate of cell division decreased and differentiation occurred. Undifferentiated callus exhibited low transglutaminase-like activity. Transglutaminase-like activity also increased in rapidly proliferating and growing organs (roots and buds initiated from the foliar explants) and decreased during maturity. The relationship among transglutaminases-like activity, cell division, bud and root formation is discussed.Abbreviations TGase transglutaminase - BA benzyladenine - 2,4-D 2,4-dichlorophenoxyacetic acid - Put putrescine - Spd spermidine  相似文献

Clinacanthus nutans (Burm.F.) Lindau is an herbaceous plant that has long been used for traditional medicinal purposes in Asia. It has recently gained popularity as an alternative treatment for cancer. The aim of this study was to establish cell suspension cultures of C. nutans and to identify targeted bioactive compounds in the cultures. Young leaf explants were cultured on Murashige and Skoog medium supplemented with various combinations of 2,4-dichlorophenoxyacetic acid (2,4-D) and kinetin to identify a suitable medium for callus induction and proliferation. Proliferated, friable calluses were cultured in different combinations of plant growth regulators (2,4-D, naphthaleneacetic acid [NAA], picloram, kinetin, and 6-benzylaminopurine) in liquid medium to establish cell suspension cultures. Three cell lines of suspension culture, callus, and intact plant parts were subjected to ethyl acetate extraction followed by thin layer chromatography for identification of selected bioactive compounds. Medium supplemented with 0.25 mg L?1 2,4-D and 0.75 mg L?1 kinetin was found to be optimal for callus induction, whereas supplementation with 0.50 mg L?1 2,4-D was efficient for callus proliferation. Liquid medium supplemented with 0.25 mg L?1 2,4-D and 0.50 mg L?1 NAA produced the highest growth index (2.52). Quercetin, catechin, and luteolin were present together in the callus and cell suspension cultures of C. nutans, but all three compounds were detected separately in young leaves, mature leaves, and stems. This study is the first to report the establishment of cell suspension culture of C. nutans with both cell and callus cultures producing quercetin, catechin, and luteolin.  相似文献

Callus cultures established from Phaseolus vulgaris seedlings were used to investigate hormonal influence on lectin biosynthesis. The plant tissue cultures were initiated using defined levels of both a cytokinin (kinetin) and an auxin (2,4-dichlorophenoxyacetic acid) and were then transferred to media containing different amounts of these hormones. The lectin content of each callus culture was determined using an enzyme immunoassay specific for the seed lectin of the P. vulgaris plant. The lectin biosynthesis was directly affected by the levels of auxin and cytokinin in the culture media and no lectin was detected in hormone-free medium. This enabled us to compose culture media yielding a maximal or minimal lectin content of the callus cultures, illustrating the ability to induce an enhancement or suppression of the in vitro lectin biosynthesis. The lectin level of callus tissue during the growth cycle of a culture was, furthermore, related to the cellular growth rate which might indicate an involvement of the lectin in cellular events during rapid cell division.  相似文献

Abstract. Combined administration of methylglyoxal-bis-guanylhydrazone (MGBG) (25 mg/kg) with difluoromethylornithine (DFMO), or MGBG alone at a higher dose (50 mg/kg), to mice resulted in a decreased white cell count (WBC) in the peripheral blood while DFMO or MGBG alone at a lower dose (25 mg/kg) had no effect. As expected, DFMO alone increased the number of colony forming units spleen (CFU-s), colony forming units diffusion chamber granulocyte (CFU-dg) and colony forming units culture (CFU-c) in the bone marrow. MGBG treatment led to an increase in CFU-dg alone. Combined treatment seemingly had no effect on marrow stem cells. Total tibial and differential counts were not affected by any of the treatments. Cell proliferation in diffusion chamber cultures, as judged by CFU-dg colony formation, was impaired by MGBG alone or in combination with DFMO, at dose levels which had no effect or increased the precursor cell number in the bone marrow. This effect was partially reversed with either putrescine or spermidine. Determination of intra-cellular polyamine concentrations, demonstrated decreased putrescine and spermidine levels after DFMO administration. As expected, MGBG treatment resulted in decreased spermidine and spermine levels, concomitant with an increase in putrescine. In mice which received both agents, rather than only MGBG, after 3 days higher intracellular polyamine concentrations were observed. After 11 days, however, there was no significant difference between the two groups.  相似文献

The polyamines are cell constituents essential for growth and differentiation. S-Adenosylmethionine decarboxylase (AdoMetDC) catalyzes a key step in the polyamine biosynthetic pathway. Methylglyoxal bis(guanylhydrazone) (MGBG) is an anti-leukemic agent with a strong inhibitory effect against AdoMetDC. However, the lack of specificity limits the usefulness of MGBG. In the present report we have used an analog of MGBG, diethylglyoxal bis(guanylhydrazone) (DEGBG), with a much greater specificity and potency against AdoMetDC, to investigate the effects of AdoMetDC inhibition on cell proliferation and polyamine metabolism in mouse L1210 leukemia cells. DEGBG was shown to effectively inhibit AdoMetDC activity in exponentially growing L1210 cells. The inhibition of AdoMetDC was reflected in a marked decrease in the cellular concentrations of spermidine and spermine. The concentration of putrescine, on the other hand, was greatly increased. Treatment with DEGBG resulted in a compensatory increase in the synthesis of AdoMetDC demonstrating an efficient feedback control. Cells seeded in the presece of DEGBG ceased to grow after a lag period of 1–2 days, indicating that the cells contained an excess of polyamines which were sufficient for one or two cell cycles in the absence of polyamine synthesis. The present results indicate that analogs of MGBG, having a greater specificity against AdoMetDC, might be valuable for studies concerning polyamines and cell proliferation.  相似文献
