A reduction in the amount of UV-induced unscheduled DNA synthesis (UDS), and reduced cell survival and host-cell reactivation against UV exposure in Hutchinson-Gilford progeria syndrome cell strains were shown. UV-induced UDS in 4 progeria cell strains was 33-50% of the normal level. A similar reduction in the UV-induced UDS in normal cells was caused by gamma-ray irradiation to the cells before UV irradiation. The dose of gamma-rays required to cause a reduction in UDS of normal cells to the level of progeria cells was 40 Gy and the reduction was reversible after 2 days. In progeria cells, gamma-ray irradiation further reduced UDS with a lower gamma-ray dose required than in normal cells, and the reduction was also reversible but with less relative recovery than in normal cells. The presence of a 'built-in' defect in progeria cells responsible for the reduced DNA-repair capacity was suggested, and such defect may share a common mechanism with the reduction of UV-induced UDS in normal cells caused by gamma-ray irradiation. 相似文献

The rate of rejoining of DNA strand breaks induced by 10 krads of γ-irradiation was studied in a progeria cell strain with a markedly reduced repair capacity. An increased rate of DNA repair could be induced in these cells by co-cultivating them at high density for 8 to 24 h prior to irradiation with an established hamster cell line, a mid-passage normal human diploid strain, or a second progeria strain. Co-cultivation with late passage and terminally senescent diploid cells did not, however, appear to stimulate repair in progeria cells. 相似文献

The incorporation of [14C]adenine into the cyclic AMP fraction by whole cells of Escherichia coli B/r was taken as a measure of the in vivo adenylate cyclase activity. This activity was significantly inhibited by irradiation of the cells either with 60Co gamma-rays or with UV light from a germicidal lamp, suggesting inhibition of cyclic AMP synthesis. The incubation of cells after irradiation with lower doses (50-100 Gy) of gamma-rays produced a significant increase of in vivo adenylate cyclase activity, whereas there was no significant change after higher doses (150 Gy and above). Dark incubation of cells after irradiation with UV light (54 J m-2) led to recovery of enzyme activity to the level measured in unirradiated cells. Thus it appears that the catabolite repression of L-arabinose isomerase induced by UV light, as well as gamma-irradiation, is due to reduced cyclic AMP synthesis in irradiated cells. 相似文献

Free radicals are involved in the aging process. In this study, the profile of primary antioxidant enzymes that scavenge reactive oxygen species (ROS) was examined for the first time in human skin fibroblasts from progeria, a premature aging disease. Altered levels of antioxidant enzymes were found in progeria cells. Basal levels of MnSOD were decreased in progeria cells as well as a blunted induction in response to chronic stress. This change may contribute to the accelerated aging process in progeria cells. In contrast, the levels of CuZnSOD showed no progeria-related change. Two H2O2 removing enzymes demonstrated a significant reduction in progeria cells: only 50% of normal CAT activity and 30% of normal GPX activity can be detected in progeria cells. This diminished H2O2 removing capacity in progeria cells may lead to an imbalance of intracellular ROS and therefore may play an important role in the development of progeria. 相似文献

The induction of skin cancers in mice by chronic UV irradiation is accompanied by a decrease in the numbers of Ia+ and Thy-1+ dendritic cells in the epidermis early in the course of UV irradiation. Subsequently, the number of Ia+ cells, but not Thy-1+ cells, increases until the time of tumor development. To assess the functional significance of these changes in cutaneous immune cells, and to help define the role these cells may play in immune surveillance against skin cancers, we tested the afferent immunologic capability of the skin during the development of UV-B radiation-induced skin cancers. Afferent immune function was measured by testing the Ag-presenting capacity of draining lymph node (DLN) cells from mice sensitized epicutaneously with dinitrofluorobenzene. A reduced contact hypersensitivity response was induced in mice immunized with DLN cells from UV-irradiated mice that had been sensitized with hapten on UV-irradiated skin. This decreased reactivity was present during the entire latent period of tumor development. However, in tumor-bearing mice, the DLN cells from UV-irradiated, sensitized animals exhibited normal Ag-presenting activity. DLN cells from UV-irradiated mice sensitized on ventral, unirradiated skin exhibited normal Ag-presenting activity. The lowest amount of Ag-presenting activity in the draining lymph nodes of UV-irradiated mice correlated temporally with the lowest number of Ia+, adenosine triphosphatase+ dendritic epidermal cells in the UV-irradiated skin. At least during the early part of the tumor latent period, an increase in the number of these cells was paralleled by an increase in the Ag-presenting activity of the DLN cells. In contrast, the number of Thy-1+ dendritic epidermal cells in UV-irradiated skin did not correlate with the Ag-presenting activity. Thus, the decrease in the number of identifiable epidermal Langerhans cells early in the course of chronic UV irradiation correlated with a decrease in Ag-presenting activity after sensitization through the UV-irradiated skin. These studies demonstrate that the afferent arm of the cutaneous immune response is impaired in the site of tumor development throughout the latent period of UV carcinogenesis. 相似文献

After light UV irradiation (5,000 to 10,000 ergs/mm2) “complete” and “defective” simian virus 40 (SV40) showed an enhancement of oncogenic transformation capacity in Syrian hamster kidney cells in vitro up to 180 and 270% of the controls, respectively. Simultaneously with the enhancement of transformation, an increase in T-antigen induction was observed in CV-1 cells infected with light UV-irradiated SV40; infectivity, however, was correspondingly reduced by 1 log10. After strong UV irradiation (10,000 to 80,000 ergs/mm2) of “complete” and “defective” SV40, transformation capacity in vitro proved to be the most resistant viral function. It was only slightly reduced in comparison with a 4 to 5 log10 reduction of infectivity. T-antigen induction of SV40 was also equally resistant to strong UV irradiation. We found no evidence of “multiplicity reactivation” involved in the high resistance of transformation capacity of SV40 after UV irradiation. Syrian hamster kidney cells transformed in vitro by UV-irradiated SV40 contained the SV40-specific T-antigen and showed the same morphology and growth characteristics as cells transformed by non-irradiated “complete” or “defective” SV40. They induced malignant tumors after subcutaneous inoculation into Syrian hamsters. 相似文献

Cells that have lost the ability to grow in culture could be defined operationally as either alive or dead depending on the method used to determine cell viability. As a consequence, the interpretation of the state of 'nonculturable' cells is often ambiguous. Escherichia coli K12 cells inactivated by UV-irradiation with a low (UV1) and a high (UV2) dose were used as a model of nonculturable cells. Cells inactivated by the UV1 dose lost 'culturability' but they were not lysed and maintained the capacity to respond to nutrient addition by protein synthesis and cell wall synthesis. The cells also retained both a high level of glucose transport and the capacity for metabolizing glucose. Moreover, during glucose incorporation, UV1-treated cells showed the capacity to respond to aeration conditions modifying their metabolic flux through the Embden-Meyerhof and pentose-phosphate pathways. However, nonculturable cells obtained by irradiation with the high UV2 dose showed several levels of metabolic imbalance and retained only residual metabolic activities. Nonculturable cells obtained by irradiation with UV1 and UV2 doses were diagnosed as active and inactive (dying) cells, respectively. 相似文献

Since progeria cells contain a diversity of altered proteins, some aspects of phenylalanyl synthetase function were examined in semipurified extracts of cultured skin fibroblasts using mixed rabbit tRNA as acceptor. No significant differences were found in the Km and Vmax for phenylalanine or ATP in progeria cells compared with controls. Initial velocities of both progeria and control synthetases were lower at late passage owing to either reduced enzyme content or reduced catalytic efficiency. Reverse phase 5 chromatography of tRNAs acylated by progeria and control synthetases gave a single peak of labeled phenylalanine tRNA in all cases with no secondary peaks evident. Total activity of phenylalanyl synthetase in progeria cells was similar to that of control cells at early passage while late-passage control cells had lower specific activities of these synthetases per unit protein. 相似文献

In humans, inactivation of the DNA polymerase eta gene (pol eta) results in sunlight sensitivity and causes the cancer-prone xeroderma pigmentosum variant syndrome (XP-V). Cells from XP-V individuals have a reduced capacity to replicate UV-damaged DNA and show hypermutability after UV exposure. Biochemical assays have demonstrated the ability of pol eta to bypass cis-syn-cyclobutane thymine dimers, the most common lesion generated in DNA by UV. In most cases, this bypass is error-free. To determine the actual requirement of pol eta in vivo, XP-V cells (XP30RO) were complemented by the wild type pol eta gene. We have used two pol eta-corrected clones to study the in vivo characteristics of mutations produced by DNA polymerases during DNA synthesis of UV-irradiated shuttle vectors transfected into human host cells, which had or had not been exposed previously to UV radiation. The functional complementation of XP-V cells by pol eta reduced the mutation frequencies both at CG and TA base pairs and restored UV mutagenesis to a normal level. UV irradiation of host cells prior to transfection strongly increased the mutation frequency in undamaged vectors and, in addition, especially in the pol eta-deficient XP30RO cells at 5'-TT sites in UV-irradiated plasmids. These results clearly show the protective role of pol eta against UV-induced lesions and the activation by UV of pol eta-independent mutagenic processes. 相似文献

High-voltage electron microscopy of human diploid fibroblasts during ageing in vitro. Morphometric analysis of mitochondria 总被引:2,自引:0,他引:2
Since recent studies have suggested a diminished mitochondrial functional capacity in late-passage ('old') compared to early-passage ('young') normal fibroblasts and fibroblasts from the Hutchinson-Gilford (progeria) syndrome of premature ageing, we analysed whole-cell preparations on the high voltage electron microscope to look for mitochondrial and related defects. All strains examined showed considerable heterogeneity in cell size and intracellular morphology. Mitochondria were readily seen in all cells, predominantly as long slender rods with frequent branching, but occasional circular and saccular forms were also evident. Various parameters of mitochondrial mass including mean number, weight, and total length of mitochondria per cell weight tended to increase in old and progeria cells, but only the former attained statistical significance due to the heterogeneity and consequent variance. A significant finding was the decreased width of mitochondria in old and progeria cells. Cystic blebs were evident in mitochondria of some cells with an apparent increase in old and progeria fibroblasts. These blebs appeared to be due to weakening of the inner membrane, allowing dilatation of the outer membrane which otherwise appeared intact. The number of osmiophilic inclusions per cell weight, particularly lipofuscin granules and autophagic vacuoles, was significantly increased in old and progeria cells. In conclusion, despite some morphological changes, mitochondria of old and progeria cells maintain a structurally and bioenergetically adequate mass compatible with continued cellular viability. 相似文献

Analysis of sedimentation profiles in alkaline sucrose gradients showed that, through a metabolic process, formaldehyde (FA) produced single-strand breaks in DNA of exponential phase cells of haploid wild-type Saccharomyces cerevisiae. The production of this type of lesion was dose-dependent. Strains defective in excision-repair of pyrimidine dimers induced by ultraviolet (UV) irradiation showed a reduced capacity to undergo single-stand breaks after treatment with FA. This indicates that the repair pathways of damage induced by UV and FA share a common step. Post-treatment incubation of wild-type cells in growth medium indicate a lag in cell division during which a slow recovery of DNA with a normal size was observed. 相似文献

Effects of human interferon on cellular response to UV in UV-sensitive human cell strains 总被引:2,自引:0,他引:2
Cells of a human RSa cell line, with high sensitivity to UV killing and low capacity for DNA repair, when pretreated with 1-100 units/ml of human interferon (HuIFN) preparations for more than 12 h before irradiation, acquired an enhancement of UV-induced DNA-repair replication synthesis in association with recovery from inhibition of total cellular DNA synthesis and UV survival. Prompt and transient induction of plasminogen activator activities was also found within 5 min after UV irradiation in the cells pretreated with HuIFN but not in the cells non-pretreated with HuIFN. The enhancement and induction effects of HuIFN were observed, irrespective of the kind of HuIFN preparation used (alpha, beta or gamma, and natural or recombinant) and in other UV-sensitive fibroblast cells which were derived from Cockayne syndrome and xeroderma pigmentosum fibroblasts (XP1KY). However, all of the enhancement of DNA-repair synthesis and the induction of plasminogen activator activities by HuIFN was suppressed by treatment with cycloheximide immediately after UV irradiation. 相似文献

The relationship between survival and mutagenesis in Escherichia coli after fractionated ultraviolet (UV) irradiation was studied. The cells were incubated either in buffer or nutrient media. Regardless of incubation conditions, greater survival is observed after fractionated irradiation than after acute irradiation. When the cells are incubated in buffer, UV mutagenesis decreases with an increase in the number of dose fractions. However, when the cells are cultivated in nutrient media, the increased survival (i.e., the enhanced capacity for repair) is coupled with the enhanced capacity for UV mutagenesis. We, therefore, assume that during incubation in nutrient media, fractionated irradiation leads to full and prolonged expression of all UV-inducible (SOS) genes, including those required for mutagenesis. 相似文献

Effects of human interferon (HuIFN)-alpha on UV mutagenicity were examined in a human cell strain, RSa, and xeroderma pigmentosum (XP)-derived fibroblasts (XP1KY). The frequency of ouabain-resistance mutation in UV-irradiated RSa cells was unusually high (Suzuki et al., 1985), but that in cells pretreated with HuIFN-alpha before irradiation was reduced. 6-Thioguanine-resistance mutation was also depressed in XP1KY cells treated with HuIFN-alpha before irradiation. However, the depression of UV mutagenicity by HuIFN-alpha was lessened by treatment with cycloheximide immediately after UV irradiation. The relationship between HuIFN-depressed UV mutagenicity and HuIFN-affected DNA-repair and repair-related functions is discussed. 相似文献

A sensitive host-cell reactivation technique was used to examine the DNA repair ability of fibroblasts from two patients with classical progeria. Fibroblasts were infected with either non-irradiated or gamma-irradiated adenovirus type 2 and at 48 hrs after infection cells were examined for the presence of viral structural antigens using immunofluorescent staining. The production of viral structural antigens was considerably reduced in the progeria lines as compared to normal fibroblasts when gamma-irradiated virus was used, indicating a defect in the repair of gamma ray damaged DNA in the progeria cells. 相似文献

Exponentially growing human erythroleukemia K562 cells were permeabilized and the dose dependent decrease of DNA synthesis rate was measured after ultraviolet (UV B, 290 nm) irradiation. Cells were able to overcome 2 and 5 J/m2 UV doses, partial recovery was observed at 15 J/m2, while at high (25 J/m2) UV dose replicative DNA synthesis remained suppressed. K562 cells were subjected to synchronization prior to and after UV irradiation (24 J/m2) and 18 fractions were collected by centrifugal elutriation. Cell cycle analysis by flow cytometry did not show early apoptotic cells after UV irradiation. The gradual increase in DNA content typical for non-irradiated cells was contrasted by an early S phase block between 2.2 and 2.4 C-values after UV irradiation. Cell cycle dependent chromatin changes after ultraviolet irradiation were seen as a fine fibrillary network covering the mainly fibrous chromatin structures and incompletely folded primitive chromosomes. Based on observations after UV irradiation and on earlier results with cadmium treatment and gamma irradiation, we confirm that typical chromatin changes characteristic to genotoxic agents can be recognized and classified. 相似文献

Cells exposed to UV irradiation are predominantly arrested at S-phase as well as at the G(1)/S boundary while repair occurs. It is not known how UV irradiation induces S-phase arrest and yet permits DNA repair; however, UV-induced inhibition of replication is efficiently reversed by the addition of replication protein A (RPA), suggesting a role for RPA in this regulatory event. Here, we show evidence that DNA-dependent protein kinase (DNA-PK), plays a role in UV-induced replication arrest. DNA synthesis of M059K (DNA-PK catalytic subunit-positive (DNA-PKcs(+))), as measured by [(3)H]thymidine incorporation, was significantly arrested by 4 h following UV irradiation, whereas M059J (DNA-PKcs(-)) cells were much less affected. Similar results were obtained with the in vitro replication reactions where immediate replication arrest occurred in DNA-PKcs(+) cells following UV irradiation, and only a gradual decrease in replication activity was observed in DNA-PKcs(-) cells. Reversal of replication arrest was observed at 8 h following UV irradiation in DNA-PKcs(+) cells but not in DNA-PKcs(-) cells. Reversal of UV-induced replication arrest was also observed in vitro by the addition of a DNA-PK inhibitor, wortmannin, or by immunodepletion of DNA-PKcs, supporting a positive role for DNA-PK in damage-induced replication arrest. The RPA-containing fraction from UV-irradiated DNA-PKcs(+) cells poorly supported DNA replication, whereas the replication activity of the RPA-containing fraction from DNA-PKcs(-) cells was not affected by UV, suggesting that DNA-PKcs may be involved in UV-induced replication arrest through modulation of RPA activity. Together, our results strongly suggest a role for DNA-PK in S-phase (replication) arrest in response to UV irradiation. 相似文献

Human fibroblasts from young (3 days to 3 years) and old (84–94 years) donors were tested for their ability to repair DNA damage by measuring survival of colony formation following irradiation with ultraviolet (UV) light. Repair was also measured by the ability to reactivate herpes simplex virus following treatment of the virus with UV light, methyl methane sulfonate or 4,5′,8-trimethylpsoralen plus light. This virus was used as a probe of cellular repair capacity because survival of damaged virus is lower in repair-deficient cell lines [1]. Cell lines from both age groups exhibited comparable survivals following UV irradiation and failed to show increased sensitivity to irradiation in the presence of caffeine. Cells from both groups repaired damaged virus to equal extents. Proficient viral repair was observed under conditions in which cells were infected by either single or multiple viral genomes. These results suggest that DNA repair mechanisms which act on a variety of lesions (e.g. pyrimidine dimers, apurinic sites, alkylated bases, cross-links, etc.) do not decline with age. A model for biological aging resulting from the accumulation with age of unrepaired DNA damage is discussed. 相似文献

The effect of caffeine on post-replication repair and survival in two L5178Y cell lines with different sensitivities to UV irradiation 总被引:1,自引:0,他引:1
2 Strains of murine lymphoma L5178Y cells that varied from the point of view of sensitivity to UV irradiation (mean lethal doses: 3.6 and 8.5 J/m2 for L5178Y-R and L5178Y-S cells, respectively) also differed with respect to sensitization by caffeine. L5178Y-S cells were sensitized to UV irradiation by 0.75 mM caffeine, whereas in the same conditions L5178Y-R cells were not sensitized. Sedimentation analysis of the newly synthesized DNA indicated UV-induced gap formation in L5178Y-S cells only. The subsequent gap filling was inhibited by caffeine. Exposure to UV irradiation induced no gaps in L5178Y-R cells. However, when caffeine was added immediately after irradiation, DNA with reduced molecular weight was found in irradiated cells of both strains after a 2-h chase. On the other hand, caffeine inhibited elongation of undamaged DNA strands in neither of the 2 cell strains. 相似文献
