Since we had previously shown that both basic fibroblast growth factor (bFGF) and testosterone stimulate the growth of mouse mammary carcinoma cells (SC-3) in serum-free culture, we tested the effect of bFGF or testosterone on FGF receptor mRNA levels. Northern blot analyses revealed that stimulation with bFGF resulted in a 5-fold increase in FGF receptor mRNA levels at 6-8 h followed by a decline to the unstimulated levels at 24 h. Simultaneous addition of cycloheximide blocked bFGF-induced accumulation of FGF receptor mRNA, although exposure of SC-3 cells to cycloheximide alone caused marginal increase in its basal level. Neither phorbol ester nor forskolin stimulated FGF receptor mRNA expression, but testosterone could raise FGF receptor mRNA levels. To obtain the maximum stimulation, however, testosterone required the longer stimulation period (12 h) than bFGF, suggesting that testosterone-induced FGF receptor mRNA accumulation is mediated through an induction of FGF-like growth factor. 相似文献

Fibroblasts represent one of the in vivo sites of insulin-like growth factor-I (IGF-I) production. In this study rat dermal fibroblasts in culture were used as a model system to assess the effect of activation of protein kinase-C on the levels of the mRNAs encoding IGF-I and another growth factor, basic fibroblast growth factor (bFGF). IGF-I and bFGF mRNA levels were determined using a solution hybridization/RNase protection assay. Treatment of cells in serum-free medium containing 0.25% BSA (MEM + BSA) with the tumor-promoting phorbol ester phorbol 12-myristate 13-acetate (PMA) decreased IGF-I and increased bFGF mRNA levels in a time- and dose-dependent fashion. The peak effect of 100 nM PMA on IGF-I mRNA levels occurred at 9 h, whereas the peak effect on bFGF mRNA levels occurred after 3 h of incubation. In dose-response studies, half-maximal inhibition of IGF-I mRNA levels was achieved with approximately 0.08 nM PMA, while half-maximal stimulation of bFGF mRNA levels was achieved with approximately 3 nM PMA. Inhibition of protein synthesis with cycloheximide abrogated the effect of PMA on bFGF mRNA levels, but only partially inhibited the effect of PMA on IGF-I mRNA levels. Studies employing sphingosine or staurosporine to inhibit protein kinase-C or preincubation in high doses of PMA to down-regulate protein kinase-C suggested that the effect of PMA on IGF-I and bFGF mRNA levels was mediated by activation of protein kinase-C, although both staurosporine and sphingosine had independent effects on the levels of these mRNAs and down-regulation of protein kinase-C had a sustained effect on IGF-I mRNA levels. Ligands known to activate protein kinase-C were then tested. Treatment of cells with 100 micrograms/ml of the synthetic diacylglycerol 1-oleoyl-2-acetyl-sn-glycerol decreased IGF-I mRNA levels to 25% and increased bFGF mRNA levels to 520% of the level present in cells maintained in MEM + BSA. Treatment of cells with thrombin or bradykinin also decreased IGF-I mRNA levels and increased bFGF mRNA levels, but whereas the effect of thrombin on IGF-I mRNA levels was marked, the effect of bradykinin was minimal, and whereas the effect of thrombin on bFGF mRNA levels was sustained, the effect of bradykinin was transient.(ABSTRACT TRUNCATED AT 400 WORDS) 相似文献

The addition of all-trans retinoic acid (ATRA) in combination with basic fibroblast growth factor (bFGF) to human fibroblasts results in a synergistic induction of tissue inhibitor of metalloproteinases-1 (TIMP-1) protein production. The synergistic stimulation of TIMP-1 protein by ATRA and bFGF increased across 72 h. An incubation of 10 min to 12 h with bFGF alone followed by ATRA gave a similar synergistic induction of TIMP-1 protein to that seen with both agents together. Treatment of cells with ATRA first followed by bFGF was ineffective. Expression of RARbeta mRNA was induced by ATRA alone, but not further induced by ATRA and bFGF; expression of RARgamma mRNA was induced by both ATRA or bFGF alone, and further induced by both reagents together; expression of RXRgamma was repressed by ATRA alone, but not by ATRA in combination with bFGF. Steady-state levels of TIMP-1 mRNA were induced 14 to 40-fold above control by ATRA and bFGF. Treatment with ATRA and bFGF did not alter the stability of TIMP-1 mRNA. The induction of TIMP-1 mRNA by ATRA and bFGF was greatly diminished by cycloheximide and therefore required new protein synthesis. The tyrosine kinase inhibitor genistein caused a dose-dependent inhibition of TIMP-1 protein induction by ATRA and bFGF. A MEK1 inhibitor (PD98059) inhibited both basal and induced levels of TIMP-1. At high concentrations, p38 MAP kinase inhibitors further enhanced the synergistic stimulation of TIMP-1 protein by ATRA and bFGF, but at these concentrations, p42/44 MAP kinase was strongly activated. These data begin to elucidate the mechanisms by which TIMP-1 gene expression can be upregulated. 相似文献

Rapid increase in poly(A) (+) mRNA content following inhibition of protein synthesis 总被引:2,自引:0,他引:2
When resting 3T6 cells undergo a serum-induced transition to the growing state, the cytoplasmic content of ribosomal, transfer and messenger RNA increase as the cells prepare for DNA synthesis. The normal linear increase in mRNA content occurs even when the production of ribosomes is blocked. In this paper we determine the effect of inhibiting protein synthesis on the increase in poly(A) (+) mRNA content. Resting cells were serum stimulated in the presence of cycloheximide or puromycin at levels which inhibit protein synthesis by greater than 95%. Cytoplasmic poly(A) (+) mRNA content was determined at various times thereafter. We found that mRNA content increased five to ten times more rapidly in drug treated cells than in control cells stimulated in the absence of inhibitors. mRNA content increased 50–70% by one hour, and 60–90% by two hours following stimulation in the presence of inhibitor, and remained more or less constant thereafter. In contrast, mRNA content increased linearly in control stimulated cultures and did not double until about 15 hours after stimulation. The rapid increase in mRNA content is most likely the result of inhibition of protein synthesis rather than a secondary effect of the drug since the same observations were made in growth stimulated cells if protein synthesis was blocked with either puromycin or cycloheximide. A similar effect was also observed with resting 3T6, exponentially growing 3T6 and growing HeLa cells following exposure to cycloheximide, although the magnitude of the increase was less than that observed with growth stimulated cells. Puromycin had negligible effect on mRNA content in resting or exponentially growing cells. The rapid increase in cytoplasmic poly(A) (+) mRNA content was not due to rapid unbalanced export of nuclear poly(A) (+) RNA into the cytoplasm since there was no decrease in nuclear poly(A) content following serum stimulation in the presence of cycloheximide. 相似文献

Treatment of Swiss 3T3 fibroblasts with basic fibroblast growth factor (bFGF) lead to a rapid reduction in epidermal growth factor (EGF) binding and a slower inhibition of EGF receptor autophosphorylation. The reduction in binding was due to a complete loss of the highest affinity EGF binding sites and a reduction in the lower affinity binding sites. Neither the inhibition of EGF binding nor the inhibition of EGF receptor autophosphorylation required protein kinase C. Treatment of cells with bFGF stimulated the phosphorylation of the EGF receptor, which persisted for several hours. The inhibition of EGF receptor autophosphorylation by bFGF was reduced in the presence of cycloheximide. However, cycloheximide had no effect on the reduction of EGF binding by bFGF. In contrast to these results with Swiss 3T3 fibroblasts, treatment of PC12 cells with bFGF lead to a reduction in EGF binding but no inhibition of EGF receptor autophosphorylation. Thus inhibited of EGF receptor autophosphorylation and inhibition of EGF binding can be uncoupled. © 1993 Wiley-Liss, Inc. 相似文献

Transforming growth factor-beta 1 (TGF-beta 1) is a multifunctional polypeptide that regulates the proliferation and differentiation of various types of animal cells. TGF-beta 1 stimulated glucose uptake and the expression of a brain-type glucose transporter (GLUT1) mRNA in quiescent mouse 3T3 cells. TGF-beta 1 also synergistically stimulated these activities when given together with calf serum, phorbol ester, fibroblast growth factor, or epidermal growth factor. The increases in glucose uptake and the GLUT1 mRNA level were induced by picomolar concentrations of TGF-beta 1 within 3 h of stimulation, reached a peak between 6 and 9 h, and then decreased gradually to basal levels before an increase in DNA synthesis. The stimulation of GLUT1 mRNA expression was completely abolished by actinomycin D, but was not affected by cycloheximide, suggesting that new protein synthesis was not required for the expression of GLUT1 mRNA. TGF-beta 1 had little mitogenic activity and did not affect serum-induced DNA synthesis in quiescent 3T3 cells. However, it stimulated DNA synthesis synergistically when given with fibroblast growth factor, epidermal growth factor, phorbol ester, or insulin. These results suggest that TGF-beta 1 mediates the stimulation of glucose uptake, GLUT1 mRNA expression, and DNA synthesis via a pathway(s) and cellular components distinct from those for other growth factors. The possible role of the TGF-beta 1-induced stimulation of glucose transport activity in the control of mouse fibroblast proliferation is also discussed. 相似文献
