The tumour-promoting phorbol ester 12-O-tetradecanoylphorbol 13-acetate (TPA) induces insulin secretion from isolated pancreatic islets, and this suggests a potential role for protein kinase C in the regulation of stimulus-secretion coupling in islets. In the present study, the hypothesis that the insulinotropic effect of TPA is mediated by activation of protein kinase C in pancreatic islets has been examined. TPA induced a gradual translocation of protein kinase C from the cytosol to a membrane-associated state which correlated with the gradual onset of insulin secretion. The pharmacologically inactive phorbol ester 4 alpha-phorbol 12,13-didecanoate did not mimic this effect. TPA also induced a rapid time-dependent decline of total protein kinase C activity in islets and the appearance of a Ca2+- and phospholipid-independent protein kinase activity. Insulin secretion induced by TPA was completely suppressed (IC50 approximately 10 nM) by staurosporine, a potent protein kinase C inhibitor. Staurosporine also inhibited islet cytosolic protein kinase C activity at similar concentrations (IC50 approximately 2 nM). In addition, staurosporine partially (approximately 60%) inhibited glucose-induced insulin secretion at concentrations (IC50 approximately 10 nM) similar to those required to inhibit TPA-induced insulin secretion, suggesting that staurosporine may act at a step common to both mechanisms, possibly the activation of protein kinase C. However, stimulatory concentrations of glucose did not induce down-regulation of translocation of protein kinase C, and the inhibition of glucose-induced insulin release by staurosporine was incomplete. Significant questions therefore remain unresolved as to the possible involvement of protein kinase C in glucose-induced insulin secretion. 相似文献

Cx50 (connexin50), a member of the α-family of gap junction proteins expressed in the lens of the eye, has been shown to be essential for normal lens development. In the present study, we identified a CaMBD [CaM (calmodulin)-binding domain] (residues 141-166) in the intracellular loop of Cx50. Elevations in intracellular Ca2+ concentration effected a 95% decline in gj (junctional conductance) of Cx50 in N2a cells that is likely to be mediated by CaM, because inclusion of the CaM inhibitor calmidazolium prevented this Ca2+-dependent decrease in gj. The direct involvement of the Cx50 CaMBD in this Ca2+/CaM-dependent regulation was demonstrated further by the inclusion of a synthetic peptide encompassing the CaMBD in both whole-cell patch pipettes, which effectively prevented the intracellular Ca2+-dependent decline in gj. Biophysical studies using NMR and fluorescence spectroscopy reveal further that the peptide stoichiometrically binds to Ca2+/CaM with an affinity of ~5 nM. The binding of the peptide expanded the Ca2+-sensing range of CaM by increasing the Ca2+ affinity of the C-lobe of CaM, while decreasing the Ca2+ affinity of the N-lobe of CaM. Overall, these results demonstrate that the binding of Ca2+/CaM to the intracellular loop of Cx50 is critical for mediating the Ca2+-dependent inhibition of Cx50 gap junctions in the lens of the eye. 相似文献

Human SH-SY5Y neuroblastoma cells could be induced to differentiate morphologically and biochemically in the presence of 12-O-tetradecanoylphorbol-13-acetate (TPA), retinoic acid (RA), or a combination of these two substances. The phenotypical changes induced by these substances differed, but one effect of both was an inhibition of the cell growth. Addition of TPA or RA to non-treated cells had no effect on the activation of ornithine decarboxylase (ODC, EC 4.1.1.17.), while a change to fresh medium stimulated the ODC to maximum activity after 4-6 h. The activity was not altered by the presence of RA in the fresh medium, but TPA partially inhibited the medium-stimulated ODC activity. Cells treated for 4 or 8 days with TPA or a combination of TPA and RA had a low ODC activity which could not be induced by fresh medium. However, RA-treated (and thus growth-inhibited) cells still responded to a change of medium by exhibiting an ODC activity of the same magnitude and duration as in medium-stimulated control cells. The results seem to suggest that the growth inhibition induced by TPA and RA, respectively, is mediated by different mechanisms. 相似文献

Acute treatment of rat spinal cord-dorsal root ganglion cocultured neurons with 12-O-tetradecanoylphorbol 13-acetate (TPA), a known activator of protein kinase C, inhibited the dihydropyridine-sensitive voltage-dependent 45Ca2+ influx measured in these cells (IC50 of approximately 100 nM, 66% inhibition at 1 microM TPA). However, prolonged preincubation (24 h) of the cells with 100 nM TPA followed by extensive washing completely abolished, i.e., desensitized, the capacity of a second application of TPA to inhibit the activity of the voltage-dependent Ca2+ channels. Moreover, this treatment also abolished the inhibition of Ca2+ influx produced by kappa-opiate as well as by alpha 2-adrenergic and muscarinic receptor agonists. Substantial desensitization was already observed following a 1-h pretreatment with 100 nM TPA. In contrast to TPA, an inactive phorbol ester (4 beta-phorbol 13-acetate) did not affect the inhibition of the voltage-dependent Ca2+ influx by these receptor agonists. These results suggest that protein kinase C may have a role in the modulation of Ca2+ channels by kappa-opiate, alpha 2-adrenergic, and muscarinic receptor agonists. 相似文献

We have investigated the role of protracted phosphatase inhibition and the consecutive protracted protein phosphorylation on neuronal viability. We found that in primary cultures of cerebellar granule neurons, the protracted (24-h) inhibition of the serine/threonine protein phosphatases 1 and 2A (EC 3.1.3.16) by treatment of the cultures with okadaic acid (OKA; 5-20 nM) caused neurotoxicity that could be inhibited by the protein kinase inhibitor 1-(5-isoquinolinylsulfonyl)-2-methylpiperazine (H7) or by the previous down-regulation of the neuronal protein kinase C (PKC; ATP:protein phosphotransferase; EC 2.7.1.37). PKC was down-regulated by exposure of the cultures for 24 h to 100 nM phorbol 12-myristate 13-acetate (TPA). The effect of the drugs used in the viability studies on the pattern of protein phosphorylation was measured by quantitative autoradiography. In particular, the 50- and 80-kDa protein bands showed dramatic changes in the degree of phosphorylation: increase by OKA and brief TPA treatment; decrease by H7 or 24 h of TPA treatment; and inhibition of the OKA-induced increase by H7 or 24 h of TPA treatment. The results suggest that the protracted phosphorylation, in particular that mediated by PKC, may lead to neuronal death and are in line with our previous suggestion that prolonged PKC translocation is operative in glutamate neurotoxicity. 相似文献

CP-46,665-1, an antineoplastic lipoidal amine, was found to inhibit phospholipid/Ca2+-dependent protein kinase (PL/Ca-PK, or protein kinase C), with an IC50 (concentration causing a 50% inhibition) of 10 microM. Its inhibition of the enzyme was reversed by phosphatidylserine, but not by Ca2+. The agent also inhibited the enzyme activity which was further augmented by 12-0-tetradecanoylphorbol-13-acetate (TPA), mezerein or diolein. Phosphorylation of endogenous proteins from HL-60 cells by the enzyme, with or without being further augmented by TPA, was inhibited by CP-46,665-1 as well as by alkyllysophospholipid (an antineoplastic agent). CP-46,665-1, while without effect on cyclic AMP-dependent protein kinase, also inhibited myosin light chain kinase (a calmodulin/Ca2+-dependent protein kinase). The present findings suggest that inhibition of the Ca2+-effector enzymes may be related in part to the antimetastatic activity of the lipoidal amine. 相似文献

The growth inhibition of a murine hybridoma mediated by ammonium chloride was shown to vary with the pH of the culture medium. Values for the initial media concentration causing 50% growth inhibition (IC50) ranged from 4 mM to 7.6 mM as the pH was reduced from 7.8 to 6.8. A significant negative correlation was observed between the IC50 and the NH3 concentration of the medium, suggesting that ammonia and not ammonium may be the toxic species in the culture medium. The optimum initial pH for cell growth was 7.4. However, this optimum shifts to lower pH as ammonia accumulates in culture as a metabolic by-product. This suggests that in order to obtain high cell yields, it may be beneficial to adopt a culture strategy of lowering pH during cell growth to offset the inhibitory effects of accumulated ammonia. 相似文献

Studies with rodent cells have indicated that the abilities of various tumour promoters to inhibit metabolic cooperation correlate with their potencies as mitogens. Here we have examined the effects of the most potent phorbol ester tumour promoter 12-O-tetradecanoyl phorbol-13-acetate (TPA), on metabolic cooperation and growth of human epidermal cells transformed by SV40 (SVK14 cells). In this system, TPA inhibits Junctional communication and at the same concentration also inhibits growth in a reversible fashion. These effects appear to be mediated by binding of phorbol ester to a single class of high affinity binding site with a Kd similar to that reported for rodent cells (Kd = 20.9 nM at 4 °C). Further studies on the effects of phorbol esters on other human epithelial cell lines reveal that the inhibitory effects of TPA on growth and metabolic cooperation may be completely dissociated. Alternative mechanisms by which TPA may exert its growth-inhibitory effects are discussed. 相似文献

A Chinese herb, wikstroemia Chamaedaphen (WC) extract, recently has been shown to be a potential tumor promoting agent on uterine cervical carcinoma induced by HSV-2 or MCA in mice. To determine whether the tumor promoting effects of WC extract were mediated through inhibition of gap junctional intercellular communication (GJIC) with relation to cellular growth, experiments were conducted on Chinese hamster V79 cells and rat WB liver cells by utilization of SLDT method for GJIC detection and cell growth curve examination, 3H-TdR incorporation, mitotic index (MI) and Flow Cytometry (FCM) methods. TPA was used for comparative purpose. WC extract inhibited GJIC and stimulated cell growth in a dose (2-200 micrograms/ml) and time (0-72 hr)-dependent manner in both cell lines. Both WC extract and TPA treatments increased V79 cell growth rate. The average cell doubling-time was decreased from 36.5 hr in control V79 cells to 28.2 hr in WC extract (10 micrograms/ml) and 20.9 hr in TPA (50 ng/ml) treatment by the 3rd day. Stimulating effect of both drugs on DNA synthesis of V79 cells was demonstrated. The results of FCM and MI indicated that the cell number of M-phase cells was increased after drug treatment. It is suggested that (1) tumor promoting effect of WC extract might be mediated through inhibition of GJIC: (2) inhibition of GJIC is closely correlated with increased cell growth rate and entry of cell division cycle. 相似文献

Following an outbreak of proliferative pneumonia in a guinea pig breeding colony and subsequet treatment with Tylan, a litter of guinea pigs was found to have multiple urogenital and ocular anomalies. Subsequent mating of the parents produced no abnormal offspring. Chromosome typing on the litter showed no abnormalities. A review of normal developmental anatomy and reports of similar anomalies was made in order to elucidate the pathogenesis of the multiple anomalies seen. It was concluded that the teratogenic effect occurred after the formation of the masonephros. The teratogen may have been an infectious agent or the drug Tylan. 相似文献

An original technique was used to study the growth pattern of cells of varying origin on limited areas (from 1 to 0.01 mm2). During cultivation on limited areas, the growth of primary and continuous fibroblast-like cells was inhibited, whereas that of normal and transformed epithelioid cells was not. The growth of fibroblast-like skin cells of diploid lines and human embryonal muscles was completely inhibited in cultivation on 0.1-0.02 mm2 areas and partially inhibited in cultivation on 0.03-0.16 mm2 areas. Other normal fibroblast-like cells used in the experiment were also marked by growth inhibition of varying degree during cultivation on limited areas. The technique suggested and the data thus obtained may be used for studying substrate-cell and cell-cell interactions, selection of epithelioid cells, and the development of optimal microcarrier technology for cell cultures. 相似文献

The growth of a human B lymphoma cell line B104, an experimental model for mature B cells, was inhibited by ionomycin but not 12-O-tetradecanoylphorbol-13-acetate (TPA). Ionomycin inhibited B104 cells from entering into the M phase of the cell cycle without affecting DNA synthesis. The inhibition of cell division of B104 cells by ionomycin occurred within 24 h after stimulation. Because such a mode of action resembles that of anti-IgM antibodies, signals transduced by Ca2+ may be responsible for the inhibition of cell division of B104 cells by anti-IgM antibodies. Indeed, EGTA suppressed the inhibition of cell division of B104 cells caused not only by ionomycin, but also by anti-IgM antibody. Although TPA itself did not have any ability to promote the growth of B104 cells, it could cancel the inhibition of cell division of B104 cells by ionomycin and increase the proportion of B104 cells entering into the M phase of the cell cycle. Staphylococcus aureus Cowan I causes the greatest proliferation of normal human peripheral blood B cells during the period from 48 to 72 h after stimulation. When ionomycin was added to S. aureus Cowan I-stimulated peripheral blood B cells at 48 h of culture, it inhibited cell division during this period without affecting DNA synthesis. In the presence of TPA, this activity of ionomycin was suppressed, and the proportion of M-phase cells increased. These results suggest that cell division of mature B cells is regulated by the signals mediated by Ca2+ and protein kinase C in a mode quite different from that of regulation of DNA synthesis. 相似文献

In vivo gap junctions (gj) are common in the subumbrellar plate endoderm of anthomedusa. When isolated and cultivated in artificial sea water the tissue, consisting of one cell type only, forms a spheroid in which all gap junctions disappear. Gap junction (gj) formation can, however, be induced by attachment and consecutive spreading of the endodermal tissue (spheroid) on stretched extracellular matrix (ECM) material isolated from the polyp stage (with Ca2+-Mg2+-free sea water, without EDTA). Formation, and loss of gj is reversible and strictly corresponds with the alteration from the monolayer 'spread' (on stretched ECM) to 'spheroid' arrangement (no ECM) of the endodermal cells. The functional competence of induced gj is ascertained by injection of Lucifer Yellow, and the transfer of the dye is used to map the pattern of communication. The experimental conditions that result in gj formation simulate the in vivo situation of the endoderm. The influence of the ECM on gj formation, and the structural organization of the isolated endodermal tissue in this well defined in vitro system are discussed. 相似文献

Inferior colliculus neuronal response abnormalities in genetically epilepsy-prone rats: evidence for a deficit of inhibition 总被引:1,自引:0,他引:1
The genetically epilepsy-prone rat (GEPR) is abnormally susceptible to induction of seizures by acoustic stimulation. The inferior colliculus (IC) is critically important to audiogenic seizure susceptibility. The GEPR is more susceptible to induction of audiogenic seizures at 12 kHz than at other pure tone frequencies. IC neurons in the GEPR exhibit significantly elevated response thresholds and broader tuning characteristics than normal. These findings along with previous neurophysiological and anatomical data suggest that a hearing deficit occurs in the GEPR. IC neurons in the GEPR exhibit a significantly elevated incidence of a response pattern with a peak of activity at the beginning and end of the stimulus, the onset-offset response. This response pattern occurs at 12 kHz and at characteristic frequency with high stimulus intensities and may represent an afterdischarge phenomenon. The onset-offset pattern may be a manifestation of central mechanisms developed to compensate for reduced peripheral auditory input that appears to be involved in the hearing deficit of the GEPR. Such compensatory mechanisms may involve alterations of the actions of neurotransmitters of the brain-stem auditory nuclei. GABA is implicated as an inhibitory transmitter in the IC. Iontophoretic application of GABA or a benzodiazepine produces significantly less inhibition of IC neurons of the GEPR than of the normal rat. Endogenous sound-induced (binaural) inhibition which is suggested to be GABA-mediated is also significantly reduced in IC neurons of the GEPR. Iontophoresis of the GABAA antagonist, bicuculline, often converts normal response patterns in the IC to onset-offset responses seen with high incidence in GEPR IC neurons, suggesting that the decreased effectiveness of GABA may lead to the onset-offset prevalence. This reduced effectiveness of inhibition may be unable to compensate for the rise in the putative excitatory transmitter, aspartate, in IC during high intensity acoustic stimulation in the GEPR. These altered transmitter actions may be important mechanisms subserving initiation of audiogenic seizures in the genetically epilepsy-prone rat. 相似文献

Effects of phorbol ester on mitogen and orthovanadate stimulated responses of cultured human fibroblasts 总被引:1,自引:0,他引:1

Mitogenic stimulation of quiescent human fibroblasts (HSWP) with serum or a mixture of growth factors (consisting of vasopressin, bradykinin, EGF, and insulin) stimulates the release of inositol phosphates, mobilization of intracellular Ca, activation of Na/H exchange and subsequent incorporation of [3H]-thymidine. We have determined previously that pretreatment with the tumor-promoting phorbol ester 12-0-tetradecanoyl-phorbol-13-acetate (TPA) inhibits mitogen-stimulated Na influx in HSWP cells. We report herein that TPA pretreatment also substantially inhibits the mitogen-stimulated release of inositol phosphates in HSWP cells. Half maximal inhibition of mitogen-stimulated inositol phosphate release occurs at 1-2 nM TPA. Treatment of cells with TPA alone has no effect on inositol phosphate release. The effect of TPA pretreatment on inositol phosphate release induced by individual growth factors has also been determined. Orthovanadate, reported by Cassel et al. (1984) to increase Na/H exchange in A431 cells, has been demonstrated to stimulate both Na influx and inositol phosphate release in HSWP cells. TPA pretreatment also inhibits both orthovanadate-stimulated inositol phosphate release and Na influx. In addition, orthovanadate was determined to increase intracellular Ca activity by mobilizing intracellular calcium stores, as determined with the fluorescent intracellular calcium probe fura-2. TPA pretreatment blocks orthovanadate stimulated mobilization of intracellular Ca stores. It appears clear that in HSWP cells pretreatment of cells with phorbol ester is capable of artificially desensitizing the early cellular responses to mitogenic stimuli (growth factors, orthovanadate) by blocking the signal transduction mechanism involved at a point prior to the release of inositol phosphates. We hypothesize that in HSWP cells the normal desensitization of both inositol phosphate release and Na/H exchange is mediated via activation of protein kinase C subsequent to the stimulus-mediated activation of phospholipase C and release of protein kinase C activator diacylglycerol. However it is interesting to note that TPA-mediated inhibition of these early responses in HSWP cells does not inhibit their ability to be stimulated to incorporate [3H]-thymidine.(ABSTRACT TRUNCATED AT 400 WORDS) 相似文献
