14C-proline was supplied to aerated potato disks, in which celldivision was occurring, and also to rapidly growing potato carrotexplants. It was absorbed and incorporated into all the subcellularprotein fractions examined, including the electrophoreticallydistinguishable fractions of the soluble protein of the potatodisks and explants. The 14C-proline was partially convertedto 14C- hydroxyproline in all the protein fractions, exceptfor one of the soluble protein fractions of potato explantsand the soluble proteins of one set of potato disks. Most ofthe 14C-proline and 14C-hydroxyproline contained in the tissuewas found in the soluble protein and also in the cellular fragmentsobtained by centrifugation at 500 g. The relative importanceof the soluble protein in the incorporation of 14C-proline andits conversion to 14C-hydroxyproline was greatest over a shortperiod of a few hours of contact with the 14C-proline supplied.Over a longer period (70 hours) the cellular fragments (500g) had become the most important and contained over 40 per cent.of the total 14C, and more than 60 per cent. of the 14C-hydroxyproline,in the protein of the tissues. In the soluble fraction of potatoexplants, seven protein bands were distinguishable on electrophoresis.A different but characteristic value of the ratio 14C-hydroxyprolineto 14C-proline was associated with each protein band, exceptfor the one region where 14C-hydroxyproline did not occur. Thebasic proteins (i.e. those moving towards the cathode) werethe most active in the incorporation of 14C-proline and itsconversion to 14C-hydroxyproline. The rather general distributionof the 14C-hydroxyproline is noted and the possible siginificanceof the basic proteins and the proteins associated with the cellularfragments (500 g) is considered in relation to the growth, celldivision, and cell wall formations which occurs in the rapidlygrowing tissue cultures. 相似文献

Synthesis of protein, RNA and DNA was studied in skin fibroblast cultures of healthy donors and patients with systemic scleroderma (SSD) and in those with rheumatoid arthritis (RA) with the use of 14C-protein hydrolyzate, 14C-uridine and 14C-thymidine, respectively. A study was also made of the stimulation of 14C-proline incorporation in protein fibroblasts upon addition to serum-free media of 5% bovine embryonic serum. The stability of RNA in fibroblasts was tested. It was shown that the rate of protein synthesis was 11 times higher in fibroblasts of RA patients and 6 times higher in those of SSD patients as compared to the rate of protein synthesis in fibroblasts of normal subjects. The rate of DNA synthesis in skin fibroblasts of RA patients was 15 times higher and in those of SSD patients 4 times higher than normal. In both RA and SSD patients, the synthesis of short-labeled RNA was 2-3 times higher than normal. The addition of embryonic serum increased 2-3 times the incorporation of 14C-proline in protein skin fibroblasts of SSD patients. It was found that all RNA in skin fibroblasts was represented by long-living molecules and that 30-40% of short-labeled RNA in skin fibroblasts of healthy donors and SSD patients underwent degradation within 1-2 hours. The data obtained indicate that fibroblasts of the two pathologies under study are characterized by considerable differences in the synthesis of DNA and the activity of the protein-synthesizing system. 相似文献

Increased collagen synthesis in Kirsten sarcoma virus-transformed BALB 3T3 cells grown in the presence of dibutyryl cyclic AMP 总被引:11,自引:0,他引:11
Growth of Kirsten sarcoma virus-transformed BALB 3T3 (Ki-3T3) cells in the presence of dibutyryl cyclic AMP (dbcAMP) resulted in alteration of morphology, inhibition of growth, and increased collagen synthesis as measured by incorporation of 14C-proline into collagenase-digestible protein. There was an increase in incorporation of 14C-proline into collagen when expressed not only as dpm per μg DNA or protein, but also as the relative rate of collagen synthesis compared to total cellular protein synthesis, which suggests that an alteration in amino acid transport cannot totally account for the increased incorporation into collagen. The three properties studied were all affected over a concentration range of 0.10 to 1.0 mM dbcAMP, but each had a slightly different dose-response curve. At 0.5 mM dbcGMP or sodium butyrate, there was no affect on growth, morphology, or the relative rate of collagen synthesis indicating specificity for the dibutyryl analog of cAMP. Growth of the parent line, BALB 3T3, was inhibited by 0.5 mM dbcAMP, but the relative rate of collagen synthesis did not increase. These results suggest that although growth, morphology, and collagen synthesis are altered in transformed cells so that they more closely resemble those of the parent line, each property may be regulated independently. 相似文献

The biosynthesis of proteins and glycosaminoglycans (GAGs) was determined in skin biopsies from atherosclerotic patients treated perorally for 3 months with 1 mg/day colchicine. The biopsies were incubated with 3H-glucosamine and 14C-proline for 5 h and subsequently digested with pronase. In an aliquot of the pronase digest, the specific radioactivity of 14C-proline and 14C-hydroxyproline were determined. The 3H-glucosamine-labeled GAGs were identified by specific enzymic assay and quantified after electrophoretic separation. 3 months treatment with colchicine did not modify the total amounts of proline and hydroxyproline in skin proteins, but diminished the amount of the GAGs as expressed by uronic acid content. Colchicine treatment decreased also the specific radioactivity of proline and hydroxyproline, which reflects a decrease of total protein and collagen synthesis. The incorporation of 3H-glucosamine in the 3H-GAGs was also decreased, mainly in hyaluronic acid. These results suggest that peroral administration of colchicine modifies the synthesis of extracellular matrix proteins and polysaccharides by skin fibroblasts. 相似文献

The effect of 16, 16 dimethyl prostaglandin E2 (DMPG) on fibrogenesis was studied in slices from normal and fibrotic rat liver. Rats received a cirrhogenic diet for seven months; supplemented controls received a diet with the deficient nutrients restored. Slices from fibrotic livers incorporated more 14C-proline and produced more 14C-hydroxyproline in TCA precipitable proteins than slices from control livers. DMPG (10−10M) decreased the incorporation of labeled proline and the synthesis of labeled hydroxyproline in slices from fibrotic livers to the same extent, suggesting that DMPG did not affect the hydroxylation of proline per se. The magnitude of the DMPG induced decrease in labeled proline incorporation correlated with the hydroxyproline content in the liver (i.e. with increasing fibrosis there was a greater effect of DMPG; while in control rat liver slices, DMPG had no effect). DMPG did not change the size of the proline pool, its specific activity, or the activity of proline oxidase. We conclude that under these conditions of enhanced fibrogenesis, DMPG decreases the formation of collagen in vitro, possibly by lowering the incorporation of proline into collagen precursors. This may explain, at least in part, the inhibition of fibrogenesis by DMPG in vivo. 相似文献

The method of acrylamide gel electrophoresis has been appliedto the separation of the proteins of growing carrot explantswhich are soluble in a buffer solution at pH 8.3. At least ninedistinct bands were detectable in this way. When carrot tissuehad absorbed 14C-proline it entered into the composition ofall these bands and, in all except one, it was converted tohydroxyproline to different degrees which characterized theband in question. Thus, in the soluble protein the 14C-hydroxyproline:14C-proline ratio varied from 0 to 0.53. The bulk of the proteinin the tissue was insoluble in buffer at pH 8.3; it containedthe bulk of the radioactivity absorbed from proline (84.8 percent.); and its average 14C-hydroxyproline : 14C-proline ratiowas the highest of all (1.28). A particulate protein preparation,separated at 25,000 g. from the soluble protein, had an intermediateratio (0.643) of 14C-hydroxyproline to 14C-proline. Therefore,there are in cultured carrot explants many distinct proteinmoieties which incorporate 14C-proline, and they convert itto 14C-hydroxyproline to very different degrees. The evidenceis consistent with the incorporation of the proline, first intothe various soluble proteins which are electrophoretically separableand subsequently, with progressively greater hydroxylation,into the more insoluble protein that constitutes the bulk ofthe protein of the cell and its organelles. It is, therefore,quite incorrect to say (as some have done) that all of the hydroxyproline-containingprotein is in very close association with the cell wall, forpart of it is present in the cell in soluble and electrophoreticallyseparable forms. 相似文献

Collagen synthesis was measured in segments of normal rabbit aorta, incubated in vitro, by monitoring the formation of peptidyl-14C-hydroxyproline from [U-14C]-L-proline added to the incubation medium. The effect of hyperlipoproteinemic rabbit serum on the rate of collagen synthesis was compared with the effect of normal rabbit serum. No differences in the rates of synthesis were detected between the two batches of serum, despite a 60-fold difference in serum cholesterol concentration. Increases in free proline concentration in the incubation medium resulted in changes in proline flux between medium and tissue pools of free proline, but medium proline concentration had no effect on the rate of collagen synthesis. 相似文献

Cultured normal human skin fibroblasts were incubated with [14C]proline in the presence and absence of 1.0 mM p-nitrophenyl-β-D-xylose. Formation of non-dialyzable hydroxyproline was used as a measure of collagen synthesis. Although total [14C]proline incorporation was similar in the two cultures, [14C]hydroxyproline formation was significantly decreased in the β-xyloside-treated cultures. Increasing the period of incubation increased the radioactivity of the insoluble collagen fraction in untreated fibroblasts, however, in β-xyloside-treated cultures no such increase was observed. In contrast to the decreased production of collagen, growth of cells in the presence of the β-xyloside induced the synthesis of high levels of soluble glycosaminoglycans as measured by 35SO4 incorporation into isolated polysaccharide. 相似文献

Electron micrographs of thin sections of nuclear, microsomal, and mitochondrial fractions obtained from a carrageenin-induced granuloma showed considerable contamination of the heavier by the lighter fractions. Striated collagen fibrils could be identified in the nuclei + debris fraction. Only a few striated fibrils occurred in the mitochondrial fraction; very fine filaments (diameter 50 A) could be seen in this fraction, but could not be distinguished with certainty from fibrillar material derived from broken nuclei. 35 per cent of the mitochondrial and 80 per cent of the microsomal collagen was extractable by 0.2 M NaCl and could be purified by the standard methods of solution and reprecipitation. The amino acid composition of these collagen fractions determined by ion exchange chromatography was within the range normally found for collagen and gelatin from other mammalian species, allowing for 10 to 20 per cent of some non-collagenous contaminant of the microsomal collagen. Hydroxyproline and proline were isolated by chromatography on paper from hydrolysates of the nuclear, mitochondrial, and microsomal collagen fractions, after incubation of tissue slices with L-14C-proline. The specific activities of the hydroxyproline from these collagens were in the approximate ratio 1:2:6, while that of bound hydroxyproline derived from the supernatant was only 1, indicating primary synthesis of collagen in the microsomes. Attempts to demonstrate incorporation of L-14C-proline into collagen or into free hydroxyproline in cell free systems were unsuccessful, nor was it possible to demonstrate non-specific incorporation of L-14C-valine into TCA-insoluble material by various combinations of subcellular fractions. 相似文献

Effect of some organosilicon compounds from the class of silatranes on the biosynthesis of collagen in cartilagenous tissue of chick embryos in vitro was studied. The criteria for assessing the intensity of collagen biosynthesis was the formation of peptide bond 14C-hydroxyproline from 14C-proline of incubation medium. All the compounds studied (methylsilatrane, ethoxysilatrane and chloromethylsilatrane) stimulated total protein biosynthesis and collagen biosynthesis in cartilagenous tissue of chick embryos. The most pronounced stimulation of the biosynthesis of collagen was observed at 3-10(-3) M concentration of silatranes within 180 min. of incubation (14C-proline was added to the incubation medium 60 min after the beginning of the incubation). The activity of partly purified collagen prolyl-hydroxylase in the presence of silatranes was also studied. 相似文献

Structural and functional characteristics of cells involved in collagen synthesis have been studied in experimental hypercholesterolemia in rabbits. Autoradiographic studies, using 3H-proline and 14C-hydroxyproline have demonstrated that collagen synthesis takes place only in the intima in the area of cellular proliferation. At earlier stages of experimental atherosclerosis collagen synthesis predominantly involves synthetic GABA phenotype, while at progressing stages fibroblasts are predominantly involved. 相似文献

Three-dimensional collagen lattice cultures of fibroblasts mimic the in vivo situation better than monolayer cultures. Here, skin fibroblasts from scleroderma patients and healthy controls were cultivated in collagen lattices, and the effects of recombinant human gamma-interferon (IFN-gamma) on these cultures investigated. IFN-gamma inhibited collagen lattice retraction in a dose-dependent way at concentrations ranging from 10 to 10,000 U/ml. This effect was independent of any alteration to the cell proliferation within the lattices. The inhibition was of the same order of magnitude in normal and pathological fibroblasts. The synthesis of collagen and non-collagen proteins, particularly fibronectin, was increased in scleroderma cultures. It was inhibited in both normal and scleroderma fibroblasts by IFN-gamma, with a maximal effect at the concentration 1000 U/ml, but the inhibition of protein synthesis was far more intense in scleroderma than in normal cells. In situ hybridization, Northern blot and dot blot analyses showed that mRNA coding for pro alpha 1(I) collagen was decreased in IFN-gamma-treated cells, indicating an effect at the pretranslational level. IFN-gamma also inhibited glycosaminoglycan synthesis, but in scleroderma cells only. This study shows that IFN-gamma regulates cell behavior in three-dimensional collagen matrices: (i) it decreases protein and specifically glycosaminoglycan synthesis in scleroderma fibroblasts, (ii) it modulates the interactions between cells and matrix that lead to the retraction of the lattice. Whereas collagen synthesis is largely decreased in lattice cultures like in vivo, it remains increased in the case of scleroderma compared to normal fibroblasts and may be down-regulated by IFN-gamma. Similar conclusions may be drawn for fibronectin and glycosaminoglycans. The inhibitory effect of IFN-gamma on the retraction capacity of fibroblasts and on their ability to synthesize increased amounts of extracellular matrix macromolecules may be of potential interest for therapeutic use of IFN-gamma in scleroderma patients. 相似文献

The effect of inhibitors of β-hydroxy-β-methylglutaryl-coenzyme A (HMG-CoA) reductase such as low-density lipoprotein (LDL) and compactin were tested for their effects on the biosynthesis of ubiquinone in fibroblasts using [2-14C]acetic acid as a labeled precursor. LDL added to fibroblasts incubated in lipoprotein-deficient serum inhibited acetate incorporation into ubiquinone by 35%. Compactin, 2.5 μm, inhibited acetate incorporation by 60%. Further increases in compactin concentration up to 20 μm gradually increased the extent of inhibition but leveled off between 70 and 80%. The incorporation of 3H]mevalonic acid and 4-[U-14C]hydroxybenzoic acid into ubiquinone were determined with a range of compactin concentrations. Whereas the incorporation of [3H]mevalonate showed an apparent increase in response to compactin, the incorporation of 4-[U-14C]hydroxybenzoate into ubiquinone decreased. Both curves leveled off at concentrations of 5 μm did not significantly change with further increases in compactin concentration approaching 20 μm. Thus, the inhibition of acetate and 4-hydroxybenzoate incorporation into ubiquinone by compactin showed similar patterns. Cells incubated in lipoprotein-deficient serum compared to whole human serum showed inhibition of acetate incorporation similar to that observed previously for 4-hydroxybenzoate (9), thereby suggesting the presence of a stimulatory factor for ubiquinone biosynthesis in whole human serum. These data confirm and extend our earlier conclusions that inhibition of HMG-CoA reductase greatly affects ubiquinone synthesis in fibroblasts. 相似文献

The effect of ascorbic acid on collagen polypeptide synthesis and proline hydroxylation during the growth of cultured fibroblasts 总被引:40,自引:0,他引:40

The rate of collagen synthesis relative to the rate of synthesis of noncollagen protein was determined in several lines of cultured fibroblasts using an assay which measures [14C]proline incorporation into the polypeptide chains of collagen. In this assay procedure, collagen is degraded by protease-free collagenase regardless of whether proline and lysine residues are hydroxylated, thus separating the process of polypeptide synthesis from hydroxylation. It was found that the relative rate of collagen synthesis in L-929 cells was approximately 0.8–1% at all stages of growth. There was no significant increase in the relative rate of collagen synthesis in stationary phase compared to log phase cells in the lines Balb 3T3, 3T6, 3T12, and Swiss mouse 3T6. In all cases, the absolute incorporation of [14C]proline into both collagen and noncollagen proteins expressed as radioactivity incorporated per milligram of cellular protein, was 2–10 times higher in log phase cells, depending on the line examined. 相似文献

The character of protein synthesis between the 10th and the 50th min of cultivation of recipient cells in a TM2 medium was followed with the aid of14C-proline pulse labelling. Some of the peaks of14C-proline incorporation appear to be related to the frequency of transformation. It is assumed on the basis of chloramphenicol inhibition that different proteins are synthesized by recipient cells to ensure reversible as well as irreversible DNA uptake. Their initiation was localized before the 20th min and at about the 30th min, respectively. 相似文献

Plant cell walls contain a glycoprotein component rich in the otherwise rare amino acid hydroxyproline. We examined the synthesis and accumulation of wall hydroxyproline during different states of elongation growth in pea epicotyls. Light-grown peas contained more wall hydroxyproline than their taller, dark-grown counterparts. When elongation was studied by marking growing stems in situ, there was a marked accumulation of wall hydroxyproline coincident with the cessation of elongation. Dividing and elongating regions of the epicotyl showed less wall hydroxyproline than did regions where elongation was no longer occurring.Hydroxyproline biosynthesis was examined by incubation of excised sections of tissues in various growth states in 14C-proline. The extent of conversion of these residues to 14C-hydroxyproline served as a measure of the rate of hydroxyproline synthesis. This rate was highest in tissues which had ceased elongation. The low rate of hydroxyproline synthesis in dividing and elongating cells was probably not due to the inability to hydroxylate peptidyl proline or to secrete proteins.These data show a positive correlation between the synthesis and accumulation of cell wall hydroxyproline and the cessation of cell elongation in pea epicotyls. 相似文献

Fibroblasts from patients with homozygous familial hypercholesterolemia (FH), a disease characterized by accelerated atherogenesis, are known to lack functional low-density-lipoprotein receptors, which ultimately results in increased cholesterol biosynthesis in the cultured cells. [14C]Acetate incorporation in these cells was compared to that of normal fibroblasts and to fibroblasts from patients with Down's syndrome, a disease in which atherosclerosis is rare. Total [14C]acetate incorporation did not differ significantly between normal and Down's fibroblasts, nor did its partitioning into the hexane-extractable and aqueous fractions of the cell hydrolysates. [14C]Acetate incorporation was much greater in FH cells in both the aqueous and hexane-extractable fractions. Preincubation in fetal bovine serum increased acetate incorporation only by FH cells, while 50 μg low-density lipoprotein/ml medium depressed acetate incorporation in all three groups. A C27 sterol, identified by gas chromatography-mass spectrometry as a probable isomer of cholesterol, was present in small amounts in FH fibroblasts, but was not detectable in the normal or Down's cells. The absolute amounts of [14C]acetate incorporated into the non-sterol lipids were greater in the FH fibroblasts, indicating that these cells may have to synthesize, in addition to cholesterol, other required cellular lipids which are delivered to the normal cells by low-density lipoproteins. 相似文献

Collagen metabolism was studied in degenerative articular cartilage of dogs with spontaneous, early onset osteoarthritis. A fraction of collagen which represented about 1.5.% of the total was extracted from cartilage samples with dilute phosphate buffer (pH 7.4) containing 0.2% sodium dodecyl sulfate. Agarose gel filtration in the presence of sodium dodecul sulfate revealed that extracts of degenerative cartilage had about 24% procollagen whereas extracts of normal samples had only 3%. The isolated procollagen fraction was rechromatographed on agarose columns in the presence of mercaptoethanol. This resulted in the identification of a collagen species which migrated between marker β and α collagen chains. The molecular weight of this collagen was estimated to be 150000. Based on incorporation of [14C]proline, its ratio of hydroxy[14C]proline to total 14C was 0.32. Procollagen was not found after limited pepsin digestion (pH 3,4°C, 16 h) of degenerative cartilage samples.Since the total collagen content (μg hydroxyproline/mg cartilage), hydroxy[14C]proline/mg cartilage, specific radioactivity of hydroxy[14C]proline (cpm/μg), in the whole cartilage, and the specific radioactivity of hydroxyproline in the extractable collagen fraction were similar for normal and degenerative cartilage we propose that procollagen accumulated in the degenerative cartilage due to a partial defect in conversion of procollagen to collagen. 相似文献

Indoleacetic acid (IAA) stimulates the incorporation of 14C-proline into both the cyloplasmic and the cell wall fractions of the hypocotyl of mung bean (Phaseolus aureus Roxb. cv. Black). It neither stimulates the transfer of 14C-proline from the cyloplasmic fraction into the cell wall fraction, nor the retention of 14C-proline in the wall or cytoplasmic fractions. Moreover, the stimulation of growth caused by IAA parallels the stimulation of the incorporation of proline into the cytoplasmic fraction, but does not parallel the stimulation into the cell wall fractions. The stimulation of the incorporation into the cyloplasmic fraction seems to appear within 30 minutes after auxin treatment, at about the same time the increase in the growth is observed in response to IAA, suggesting a connection between these effects. On the other hand, the stimulation of the proline incorporation into the cell wall fraction seems to require more than 90 minutes after auxin treatment, suggesting no close connection between growth and proline incorporation into the cell wall fraction. 相似文献
