HPI在肝癌组织中的表达及其对肝癌细胞特异性抑增殖效应研究

肝细胞增殖抑制因子（Ｈｅｐａｔｉｃｐｒｏｌｉｆｅｒａｔｉｏｎｉｎｈｉｂｉｔｏｒ,ＨＰＩ）粗制品、半纯品和纯品对体外培养的人肝癌细胞具有显著抑增殖作用,随样品纯度提高抑制活性逐渐增强。纯品（浓度５μｇ／ｍｌ）的抑制率达７７．７１％。正常成年大鼠肝细胞呈ＨＰＩ阳性表达。在ＤＥＮ诱发大鼠肝细胞癌的发生发展过程中,转化的癌前期细胞和肝癌细胞呈ＨＰＩ阴性表达。表明肝细胞ＨＰＩ的表达能力在其癌变过程中消失,从而失去了自身的抑癌作用。

Effect of metanil yellow and malachite green on DNA synthesis in N-nitrosodiethylamine induced preneoplastic rat livers

Metanil yellow (MY) and malachite green (MG) are textile dyes, which, despite the ban occurs unsrupulously as food colouring agents. Accordingly they constitute a serious public health hazard and are of sufficient environmental concern. We have earlier reported that both MY and MG have tumor enhancing effects on the development of hepatic preneoplastic lesions induced by N-nitrosodiethylamine in rats. In order to understand the possible mechanisms by which MY and MG enhance tumor development, in this study we have tested the effects of MY and MG on DNA synthesis and PCNA expression in preneoplastic hepatic lesions during N-nitrosodiethylamine (DEN) induced hepatocarcinogenesis in male Wistar (WR) rats. Rats were administered 200 ppm DEN through drinking water for a period of one month. Administration of DEN for a period of one month showed an upregulation of cell cycle regulatory proteins namely cyclin D1, CDK4, cyclin E and CDK2. Accordingly, in other experiments, the animals were further administered MY and MG for a period of one month following one month DEN treatment. The effects of MY and MG were monitored on the basis of cell proliferation markers--DNA synthesis and PCNA expression both by immunohistochemical and immunoblotting. Following DEN administration, MY, MG and PB showed stimulation of DNA synthesis and increased PCNA expression when compared with either the corresponding controls or only DEN treated animals. In the present study, enhancing effect of MY, MG and PB on the cell proliferation markers during DEN-induced hepatic preneoplasia in rats was observed.     

A microinjected monoclonal antibody against human DNA polymerase-alpha inhibits DNA replication in human, hamster, and mouse cell lines

We have examined the effect that microinjection of a monoclonal antibody directed against human DNA polymerase-alpha (SJK-287) has on DNA synthesis in exponentially growing human, mouse, and hamster cell lines. We show that the SJK-287 antibody, when microinjected directly into the nuclei of cells is capable of inhibiting DNA synthesis in all three cell lines tested. Moreover, the effectiveness with which this antibody can inhibit ongoing DNA synthesis by the microinjection assay is closely correlated with the ability of the antibody to neutralize DNA polymerase-alpha activity fractionated from each cell line in vitro. Two other monoclonal antibodies of the same class, one directed against the cellular p53 protein (PAb122), and one directed against the c-myc protein (PM-8) were also tested for their ability to inhibit ongoing DNA synthesis by direct microinjection and in lysolecithin permeabilized cells. Both monoclonal antibodies failed to inhibit ongoing DNA synthesis in exponentially growing cells by these assays.     

Triton X-100 activates nucleoside triphosphate-dependent, recBC-dependent DNA synthesis in toluene-treated Escherichia coli.

Escherichia coli cells whose chromosome replication has been terminated in vivo, either by growth into stationary phase or by incubation of a mutant carrying a temperature-sensitive initiation mutation under restrictive conditions, are inactive in in vitro DNA synthesis as measured in toluene-treated cells. Addition of the non-ionic detergent Triton X-100 to such inactive systems results in a marked stimulation of ATP-dependent in vitro DNA synthesis. This Triton-stimulated DNA synthesis appears to proceed by a semi-conservative mechanism, in that DNA synthesized in vitro in the presence of a density labeled precursor bands in CsCl equilibrium centrifugation at a hybrid density. Neutral sucrose gradient centrifugation demonstrates that most of this hybrid material exhibits a molecular weight in excess of 1 X 10(7). Triton-stimulated synthesis requires the presence of DNA polymerase III, as does normal in vivo replication. We show here, however, several anomalous properties of the DNA synthesis in the Triton/toluene system. In particular, Triton-stimulated synthesis is absent in cells harboring a recB mutation which lack the ATP-dependent exonuclease V, an enzyme implicated in recombinational repair synthesis in vivo. Furthermore, the ATP requirement for Triton-stimulated synthesis is relatively non-sepcific, and a variety of nucleoside triphosphates can effectively substitute for ATP. Finally, despite their high molecular weight in neutral sucrose gradient centrifugation, Triton-stimulated DNA synthesis generates DNA molecules of low molecular weight (less than 500 000) as determined by alkaline sucrose gradient centrifugation. In contrast, DNA synthesis in the normal toluene-treated cell system is not dependent on recB activity, shows a nearly absolute requirement for ATP which cannot be replaced by other nucleoside triphosphates, and produces molecules of far greater molecular weight as measured on alkaline sucrose gradients. Taken altogether the data strongly suggest that Triton activates an unusual form of DNA synthesis in toluene-treated cells which shows both repair and replicative aspects. These results caution against the use of Triton-activated toluene-treated cells system, for studying simple replicative DNA synthesis.     

Apoptosis in dissociation between DNA synthesis and cellular functions of activated hepatic stellate cells--a study with carbon tetrachloride-induced rat liver injury

It is widely believed that DNA synthesis and expressions of smooth muscle alpha actin and TGF-beta are all together increased in activated hepatic stellate cells both in vitro and in vivo. Our previous reports disclosed that these increases did not always coexist under experimental conditions. Liver necrosis was induced in rats by oral administration of carbon tetrachloride. Hepatic stellate cells were isolated from these rats 2 days later. When these cells were cultured on plastic dishes for 3 days, they showed marked DNA synthesis and smooth muscle alpha actin and TGF-beta mRNA expressions assessed by (3)H-thymidine incorporation and Northern blotting, respectively. In the cells further cultured for 7 days, the DNA synthesis was decreased, whereas both smooth muscle alpha actin and TGF-beta mRNA expressions were increased, compared to the cells cultured for 3 days. The cells cultured for 10 days showed apoptotic nuclei positive for nick-end labeling, and DNA extracted from the cells revealed laddering patterns on agarose gels by electrophoresis. Apoptotic nuclei were also immunohistochemically found in stellate cells in the liver of rats 4 days after the intoxication. We conclude that apoptosis developed in activated hepatic stellate cells both in vitro and in vivo, and this may contribute to the discrepancy between DNA synthesis and cellular functions of the cells.     

Genetic and physiological studies of Bacillus subtilis sigma A mutants defective in promoter melting.

The Bacillus subtilis sigA gene encodes the primary sigma factor of RNA polymerase and is essential for cell growth. We have mutated conserved region 2.3 of the sigma A protein to substitute each of seven aromatic amino acids with alanine. Several of these aromatic amino acids are proposed to form a melting motif which facilitates the strand separation step of initiation. Holoenzymes containing mutant sigma factors recognize promoters, but some are defective for DNA melting in vitro. We have studied the ability of each mutant sigma factor to support cell growth by gene replacement and complementation. The two region 2.3 mutants least impaired in promoter melting in vitro (Y180A and Y184A) support cell growth in single copy, although the Y184A allele imparts a slow-growth phenotype at low temperatures. A strain expressing only the Y189A variant of the sigma A protein, known to be defective in DNA melting in vitro, grows very slowly and is altered in its pattern of protein synthesis. Only the wild-type and Y180A sigma A proteins efficiently complement a temperature-sensitive allele of sigA. Overexpression of three of the sigma A proteins defective for promoter melting in vitro (Y189A, W192A, and W193A) leads to a decrease in RNA synthesis and cell death. These results indicate that mutations which specifically impair DNA melting in vitro also impair sigma function in vivo and therefore support the hypothesis that sigma plays an essential role in both DNA melting and promoter recognition.     

Prolactin administration stimulates rat hepatic DNA synthesis

Prolactin is an important growth modulatory hormone in fetal and adult tissues. Its administration stimulates enzymatic markers of the G1 phase of cell cycle in rat liver and other tissues. To determine the effects of prolactin administration on hepatic DNA synthesis (S phase), rats received prolactin at 12 hour intervals for 48 hours and DNA synthesis was assessed by [3H]-thymidine incorporation. Prolactin administration stimulated DNA synthesis 2-4 fold above controls in the livers of adult and weanling animals. Increased incorporation of radiolabel was associated with the nucleus of hepatoparenchymal cells. These data support the hypothesis that prolactin may be a physiological regulator of hepatic DNA synthesis. Further, since stress stimulates prolactin secretion, we suggest that prolactin may participate in the hepatic compensatory hyperplasia elicited by the stress associated with partial hepatectomy.     

Further characterization of the phenotype of ts20, a DNAts mutant of BALB/3T3 cells

Ts20 is a temperature-sensitive mutant cell line derived from BALB/3T3 cells that is blocked at a step in DNA synthesis involving chain elongation. Following a shift from 33 degrees to 39 degrees C, mutant cells lost ability to grow or form colonies. When mutant cells were infected with polyomavirus, both cell and virus DNA synthesis were inhibited at the restrictive temperature of 39 degrees C. When cell extracts from wild-type cells were added in vitro to lysed infected mutant cells that had been incubated in vivo at 39 degrees C for expression of the mutation, cell DNA synthesis was increased 3-fold (similar to the effect in uninfected mutant cells), whereas virus DNA synthesis was increased only 60%. With harsher lysis conditions, the effect of added extract on virus DNA synthesis was greater, although baseline DNA synthesis (prior to addition of extracts) was much lower. Analysis by alkaline sucrose gradients showed that the addition of cell extract converted small cellular DNA molecules into larger ones, while it increased the synthesis of small virus DNA molecules rather than completed genomes. Analysis of cytosol extracts (in which the activity stimulating DNA synthesis resides) showed that DNA topo-isomerase I activity was more heat-labile when assayed in mutant extracts compared to wild-type extracts. In contrast, cytosol DNA polymerase activity was equally heat-labile in mutant and wild-type extract. This suggested the factor in extract was likely associated with the activity of DNA topo-isomerase I. Analysis of virus DNA synthesized in vitro in restricted mutant cells by gel electrophoresis and fluorography showed an accumulation of topo-isomers migrating between form I and II. These topo-isomers, thought to be a manifestation of the ts defect, did not disappear when extract from wild-type cells was added back in vitro or when mutant cells were shifted back to permissive temperature prior to lysis for in vitro synthesis. The results indicate that polyoma DNA synthesis and cell DNA synthesis differ in their response to the mutant gene product in ts20, although both are inhibited at a step early in DNA chain elongation that may involve DNA topo-isomerase I.     

GROWTH CONTROL OF DIFFERENTIATED FETAL RAT HEPATOCYTES IN PRIMARY MONOLAYER CULTURE : V. Occurrence in Dialyzed Fetal Bovine Serum of Macromolecules Having Both Positive and Negative Growth Regulatory Functions

Dialyzed fetal bovine serum contains two distinct growth-controlling macromolecular fractions: one stimulates and the other inhibits proliferation of primary cultured differentiated fetal rat hepatocytes. Both fractions are precipitated by ammonium sulfate (50% saturation, pH 7.4, 4°C). Serum fraction I (SFI, mol wt ≥ 120,000 daltons estimated by gel filtration with Bio-gel P200) appears to contain at least two factors which function, respectively, to initiate DNA synthesis (activity pH 4–10 stable) and to increase the rate at which initiated cells traverse the cell cycle (activity pH 4 and pH 10 labile). Intraperitoneal injections of SFI into adult rats have produced detectable stimulation of hepatic but not renal DNA synthesis. Serum fraction II (SFII, mol wt 40,000–80,000 daltons) suppresses in vitro incorporation of CH₃-[³H]thymidine into DNA under conditions which diminish neither cell viability nor cell attachment. Mixing experiments indicate that SFI and SFII mutually antagonize each other with respect to DNA synthesis and cell multiplication. Thus, both the relative and absolute serum levels of multiple factors control in vitro fetal hepatocyte proliferation.
