1. Bovine articular cartilage slices were studied in long term culture by periodically pulse-labelling the cultures with radiolabelled precursors of glycosaminoglycans and isolating the glycosaminoglycans from cartilage. 2. Pretreatment of the cartilage slices with bacterial collagenase resulted in stimulation of the incorporation of radioactivity into the glycosaminoglycans. 3. The addition of a fraction from bovine bone, enriched in "matrigenin" activity, to cultures of cartilage pretreated with collagenase resulted in an additional increase in the stimulation of incorporation of radioactivity. 相似文献

Confluent cultures of rat muscle fibroblastic cells respond by increased glycosaminoglycan (GAG) synthesis when cultured in medium containing a solubilized bone matrix fraction (SBM) at a concentration of 100 micrograms/ml. The metabolism of the GAG associated with the cell pellet, the cell surface and the tissue culture medium fractions was studied, in the presence and absence of SBM, by measuring the incorporation of radioactivity from [3H]glucosamine and [35S]SO4 into the isolated GAG. Net synthesis of hyaluronic acid and of chondroitin sulfate in the medium fraction increased more rapidly in cultures containing SBM compared to controls, and the accumulation of labelled GAG in the medium of the treated cultures was approximately linear with respect to the length of incubation. The addition of SBM also resulted in increased incorporation of 3H and of 35S into the GAG of the cell surface and cell pellet fractions. In these fractions, stimulation of incorporation of radioactivity occurred in two waves: an early, relatively minor increase and a later relatively major increase. The relatively major stimulation of radioactivity into the GAG of the cell surface fraction occurred between 24 and 48 h and was independent of any apparent effect of serum. 相似文献

Ultrastructural characteristics as well as secretory and biosynthetic behavior of monolayer pancreatic cell cultures established from 4-day-old C57BL/KsJ misty diabetic (m db/m db) mice have been studied in comparison to normal littermate controls. Hypersecretion of glucagon by alpha-cells from BL/Ks misty diabetic mice after 2 days in vitro was found to precede any hyperfunction of the insulin-secreting beta-cells. The increased level of glucagon-release in BL/Ks cell cultures from diabetic mice was accompanied by a greatly enhanced level of incorporation of [3H]tryptophan into glucagon-like molecules whose specific radioactivity was up to 15-fold higher than that observed in cultures from genetic controls. The finding of an alpha-cell dysfunction in cultures established from preweaning diabetic BL/Ks mice suggests that glucagon could play an early role in shaping the events that culminate in the expression of frank diabetes in this inbred strain. 相似文献

1. Bovine bone contains an extractable activity which stimulated the synthesis of glycosaminoglycans by bovine synovial, human synovial and mouse 3T3 fibroblastic cells in culture. Human cells were used to develop an assay for purification of the stimulatory activity ("matrigenin" activity) from bovine bone. 2. Partial purification of "matrigenin" activity was achieved by precipitation of the EDTA extract at pH 3.5 and Sepharose CL-6B chromatography in 4 M guanidinium HCl. Dissociative conditions were necessary to prevent aggregation. 3. On SDS-polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis the activity ran with a mobility equivalent to a Mr = 27,500 and could be recovered from the SDS gels. 相似文献

At 0°C, CHO cells efficiently incorporated [3H]thymidine into the nucleotide fraction, but not into DNA. Upon reincubation of asynchronous cultures at 37°C, 15–25% of the radioactivity contained in the cellular nucleotide fraction was released, in the form of thymidine, into the culture medium. At 0°C, however, radioactivity of the nucleotide fraction was retained within the cells. Similarly, dTMP phosphatase (EC 3.1.3.35) in cell extracts was active at 37°C, but not at 0°C, whereas thymidine kinase (EC 2.7.1.21) was active at both temperatures. If synchronous cultures in Gl phase were prelabeled at 0°C and reincubated at 37°C, almost all radioactivity in the nucleotide fraction was released into the medium, whereas in S-phase cultures nearly all radioactivity of the nucleotide fraction was incorporated into DNA. In synchronous S-phase cultures treated with hydroxyurea, radioactivity in the nucleotide fraction was released into the medium at a rate considerably lower than that observed for Gl-phase cells. Rates of endogenous synthesis of thymidine nucleotides were calculated from changes of cellular thymidine nucleotide content, incorporation of thymidine nucleotides into DNA and release of thymidine into the medium during reincubation of prelabeled cultures in thymidine-free medium. The results obtained (see Table III) reveal marked differences between Gl and S phases with respect to the determinants of thymidine nucleotide metabolism. 相似文献

In vivo incorporation of choline-methyl-(14)C into liver lecithin and its biosynthetic precursors was studied in CCl(4)-treated rats. Radioactivity in cytidine diphosphoryl (CDP-)choline and lecithin was reduced to one-third of control levels, whereas that of phosphorylcholine was increased to 4.7 times control levels. Incorporation of phosphorylcholine-(32)P into lecithin by homogenates prepared from livers of CCl(4)-treated animals was reduced, but conversion of CDP-choline-(32)P to lecithin by the isolated microsomal fraction did not show any significant depression. A block in the synthesis of CDP-choline is indicated. The in vivo utilization of methionine for lecithin synthesis was not affected. After intravenous injection of palmitic acid-1-(14)C, radioactivity of triglycerides from microsomal and mitochondrial fractions was markedly lower than the controls, whereas radioactivity of triglycerides in the soluble fraction was greatly increased. Radioactivity of diglycerides changed from 0.5% of total lipids in the control to 10% of total lipids in CCl(4)-treated animals. Incorporation of palmitic acid into phospholipids was also suppressed. The results demonstrate that synthesis of both phospholipids and triglycerides is inhibited in rats 4-5 hr after CCl(4) administration. 相似文献

In suspension cultures of Phytolacca americana , betacyanin accumulation was reduced when cell division was inhibited by treatment with various inhibitors of DNA synthesis or anti-microtubule drugs. Aphidicolin (APC), an inhibitor of DNA synthesis, reduced the incorporation of radioactivity from labeled tyrosine into betacyanin, but the incorporation of radioactivity from labeled 3,4-dihydroxyphenylalanine (DOPA) into betacyanin was not affected by similar treatments. Propyzamide, another anti-microtubule drug, reduced incorporation of radioactivity from tyrosine and DOPA into betacyanin. However, the rate of incorporation from DOPA was higher than that from tyrosine. The results suggest that inhibition of betacyanin accumulation in Phytolacca americana cells by APC and propyzamide is due to suppression of the reaction converting tyrosine to DOPA, which may be closely related to cell division. 相似文献

(1) Determinations were carried out on the incorporation of fucose-6-(3H) and glucosamine-6-(3H) into trichloracetic acid insoluble macromolecules which remained bound to the cells or were released into the medium of chick embryo muscle cell cultures. The radioactivity determined in the medium was corrected for unspecific binding of label to components of the medium. (2) During an incorporation period of six hours the incorporation per microgram DNA with fucose as label into cell bound macromolecules is about twice as high as the incorporation into macromolecules released into medium. With glucosamine about twice as much is incorporated into medium released into the cell bound macromolecules. (3) The incorporation per microgram DNA increased during a culture period of three days but the increase ceases at different times during this culture period when determined with fucose or glucosamine or for cell bound and medium released material. (4) An increase in cell density increases the incorporation per DNA of fucose and to a much slighter extent that of glucosamine. Reduction of cell density by addition of cytosine arabinoside to the medium does not increase the incorporation per microgram DNA. (5) The effect of changes of fibroblast/myoblast ratios on the incorporation of fucose and glucosamine were examined. No significant effect was observed for a ratio of 10-30% fibroblasts when control cultures or cultures after cell sedimentation were maintained in complete medium. Marked changes were observed after culture in medium without protein components. Under these conditions an increase in the fibroblast/myoblast ratios were observed as well as an increase in the incorporation of label into medium released and a decrease into cell bound macromolecules. 相似文献

Release of sulfated proteoglycans into the medium of fetal rat chondrocytes in monolayer culture was studied by contrasting the effects of 10% calf serum, long-acting cyclic nucleotides (8 Br-cAMP or DBcAMP), and lysine vasopressin (LVP). Eight hours after initiation of the experiment, the monolayer was pulsed for 2 hours with Na2[35SO4=], the radioactivity was chased, and the monolayer was reincubated for 6 hours with conditioned medium from replicate cultures. Immediately after labelling, the amount of newly synthesized sulfated proteglycans was invariably higher in the insoluble matrix than in the medium compartment. Both additives selectively enhanced sulfate incorporation into chondroitin sulfate of the matrix when compared to serum controls, but only LVP stimulation caused increases in the medium. Remodeling (loss of cell layer and release into the medium at 6 hours) was suppressed by cAMP analogues and increased by LVP. This process was more active in cultures of lower cell density. Utilizing calibrated gel columns, no size difference of the glycosaminoglycans was found between the medium and cell layer compartments of the three treatment groups at the two time points. Because the cAMP analogues inhibit, while LVP stimulates cell division, our observations imply that the rate of degradation of the constraining matrix is increased when replication is favored, even when chondriotin sulfate synthesis is selectively stimulated. 相似文献

Addition of dibutyryl cyclic AMP or parathyroid hormone to bone organ cultures markedly increased the incorporation of 3H-glucosamine into non-dialyzable macromolecules. Other cyclic nucleotides or their dibutyryl derivatives did not stimulate glucosamine incorporation. DEAE-cellulose chromatography of the papain-digested calvaria and culture medium resolved the labeled material into four peaks. A four-fold increase in radioactivity was observed in peak III. Previous studies of peak III have identified the labeled material as hyaluronic acid. The results suggest that the parathyroid hormone stimulated increase in glucosamine incorporation is mediated via the adenylate cyclase-cyclic AMP system, and that the increased amount of radioactivity is due to an increased amount of hyaluronic acid. Turnover studied of the labeled material suggest that the release of proteoglycans into the culture medium is not inhibited in the cultures treated with dibutyryl cyclic AMP. The role of hyaluronate in this experimental system remains to be elucidated. 相似文献

1. The nucleic acid metabolism in the pyridoxine-deficient rat has been investigated through studies on the incorporation of radioactivity from various isotopically labelled compounds into liver and spleen DNA and RNA. 2. In pyridoxine deficiency, the incorporation of radioactivity from sodium [14C]formate was apparently increased. The magnitude of this effect on incorporation into liver RNA and DNA and spleen RNA was approximately the same. The incorporation into spleen DNA was enhanced to a much greater degree. Administration of pyridoxine 24hr. before the rats were killed reversed the changes in incorporation of radioactivity from [14C]formate. 3. In pyridoxine deficiency, the incorporation of radioactivity from dl-[3-14C]serine, [8-14C]adenine, [Me-3H]thymidine and [2-14C]deoxyuridine was decreased. The incorporation of radioactivity from l-[Me-14C]methionine was not affected. No noteworthy differences in the effect of pyridoxine deficiency on the incorporation of radioactivity from dl-[3-14C]serine into DNA and RNA were observed, whereas the effect of the deficiency on the incorporation of radioactivity from [8-14C]adenine into spleen DNA was somewhat greater than that into spleen RNA. Administration of pyridoxine 24hr. before the rats were killed reversed the changes in incorporation of radioactivity from [3-14C]serine and [8-14C]adenine. 4. The adverse effects of pyridoxine deficiency on the biosynthesis of nucleic acids and cell multiplication are discussed in relation to the role of pyridoxal phosphate in the production of C1 units via the serine-hydroxymethylase reaction. 相似文献

Livers from fed male Sprague-Dawley rats, made hyperthyroid by treatment with triiodothyronine (T3), were isolated and perfused in vitro. T3 (9.6 micrograms/day) was administered by osmotic minipump implanted intraperitoneally. Treatment with T3 for either 7 or 28 days reduced hepatic output of very-low-density lipoprotein (VLDL) and net synthesis of total associated apoproteins. After 7 days treatment, incorporation of [4,5-3H]leucine by livers from hyperthyroid rats into VLDL apo E was reduced while incorporation into apo B100, apo B48, and apo C's did not differ from euthyroid controls. The depressed incorporation of radioactivity into total VLDL protein was accounted for almost entirely on the basis of apo E. Incorporation of leucine into the total lipoprotein apo E isolated in the d less than 1.210 was also diminished by the hyperthyroid state, while that into apo B100, apo B48, and apo C in the total perfusate lipoprotein was similar to that of the euthyroid, as was found for the VLDL. Increased amounts of radioactive apo B100 and apo B48, however, were detected in the HDL fraction isolated from the medium perfusing livers from hyperthyroid rats. Hepatic uptake of VLDL protein and lipid was similar in euthyroid and hyperthyroid rats. Reduction of VLDL lipid and protein in the medium perfusing livers from T3-treated rats, therefore reflects hormonal action on synthesis and secretion, rather than uptake. Since the availability of apo B is thought to be required for secretion of VLDL, our observation suggests that synthesis of apo B is not depressed by treatment with T3 and that apoprotein synthesis is not a significant factor in the decreased output of VLDL by the liver, but that, as reported earlier, the lower output is a consequence of decreased synthesis of TG, the result of a diminished supply of hepatic glycero-3-phosphate in the hyperthyroid. The diminished amount of VLDL protein appears to be accounted for by the decreased quantity of apo E associated with a smaller VLDL particle secreted by livers from T3-treated rats. 相似文献

Pulse-labeling experiments of white lupin (Lupinus albus L.) cell cultures with [U-14C]l-phenylalanine for 72 h resulted in the incorporation of the radioactivity into the isoflavone aglucones, glucosides, and prenylated derivatives. Both the aglucones genistein and 2′-hydroxygenistein and their 7-O-glucosides accounted for 85% of the total isoflavonoids identified in the cultured cells and contained 35% of the radioactivity, whereas the prenylated derivatives comprised 15 and 65%, respectively. Almost 20% of the labeled isoflavones of the cellular pool was recovered from the culture medium, 90% of which were monoprenylated and diprenylated derivatives containing 80% of the radioactivity. These results clearly demonstrate the release into the culture medium of a substantial amount of the endogenously synthesized isoflavonoids, especially the prenylated derivatives. 相似文献

1. Sodium [1-(14)C]acetate was incorporated into orsellinic acid and fumigatol by Aspergillus fumigatus. 2. [(14)C]Orsellinic acid was prepared biosynthetically. It was converted almost entirely into fumigatol and fumigatin within 2 days of supplementation of the medium. The apparent decrease in incorporation after a longer period of growth was due to decomposition of radioactive fumigatol and the production of relatively unlabelled material. The addition of orcinol to these cultures decreased the conversion of [(14)C]orsellinic acid into fumigatol. [(14)C]Orsellinic acid was incorporated into 3,4-dihydroxytoluquinol in both sets of cultures. 3. [(14)C]Orcinol was prepared from [(14)C]orsellinic acid after acid hydrolysis. It was also very effective as a precursor of fumigatol (60% incorporation). 4. The specific activity of fumigatin was lower than that of fumigatol at early stages of growth (4-5 days after inoculation) with all the labelled substrates that were tested. This indicated that fumigatin arose from fumigatol after oxidation in the medium. 5. The presence of orcinol in the medium greatly stimulated the incorporation of radioactivity (presumably derived from the (14)CO(2)H of orsellinic acid) into the isoprenoid compounds, ergosterol and ubiquinone, in the mycelium. 相似文献

This study sought to elucidate the optimal cell culture conditions for studies concerned with the incorporation of [3H]glucosamine into glycosaminoglycans by rabbit aortic smooth muscle cells. The incorporation of radioactivity into extracellular sulphated glycosaminoglycans was linear for at least 72 h and that into pericellular sulphated glycosaminoglycans for up to 24 h. The incorporation of radiolabel into hyaluronic acid was linear only up to 12 h. In the exponential growth phase the incorporation of [3H]glucosamine into sulphated glycosaminoglycans and hyaluronic acid proved to be less marked than in the stationary growth phase, but the highest values were nevertheless obtained immediately after trypsinisation. When studied in the stationary growth phase, cell density and incorporation of [3H]glucosamine were positively correlated in the case of hyaluronic acid, but in the case of sulphated glycosaminoglycans there was a negative correlation. The serum concentration of the incubation medium and the incorporation of radioactivity into hyaluronic acid were positively related. With sulphated glycosaminoglycans this was the case only after a 7-day preincubation in the different serum concentrations. when incorporation was studied without preincubation, the incorporation of radioactivity into sulphated glycosaminoglycans proved to be negatively associated with the serum concentration of the medium. The environmental pH of the cells was associated with the incorporation of radioactivity into hyaluronic acid and sulphated glycosaminoglycans in that between pH values 6.8 and 7.9 the incorporation of radioactivity increased when the pH of the medium was raised. 相似文献

The incorporation of sodium acetate-[1-14C] into the heterocyst glycolipids of Anabaena cylindrica cultures from 60–234 hr old is reported. Incorporation of radioactivity was maximal in 88 hr old cultures. In 60 hr and 88 hr cultures about 90 % of the radioactivity of the heterocyst glycolipids was found in the non-saponifiable glycolipid fraction, whereas in older cultures this fraction contained only 75 % of the radioactivity. Acid hydrolysis of non-saponifiable heterocyst glycolipid fractions showed that in 60 hr cultures, 81 % of the radioactivity occurs in the lipid moiety, whereas in older cultures a greater proportion (40–53 %) of the radioactivity was found in the sugar residue. The lipid fraction obtained by acid hydrolysis contained a mixture of labelled long chain mono-, di- and trihydric alcohols. In young (60 hr) cultures the primary alcohol fraction was most heavily labelled (57.3 % of the radioactivity in the non-saponifiable glycosides) with much smaller amounts in the diol and triol (8.4 and 15.1 % respectively), whereas in older cultures (234 hr) the primary alcohol (23.6 %) diol (22.5 %) and triol (18.9 %) fractions contained ca equal amounts of radioactivity. 相似文献

In Lactobacillus plantarum 17-5, lipid synthesis appears to be correlated with protein synthesis. Inhibition of protein synthesis by chloramphenicol (50 mug/ml) caused the nearly simultaneous inhibition of incorporation of radioactive oleic acid into polar lipids before the cessation of growth. In addition, de novo fatty acid synthesis, as determined by the incorporation of radioactive acetate into cellular lipids, was also inhibited. Removal of the antibiotic resulted in the resumption of growth, protein synthesis, and polar lipid synthesis. Inhibition of protein synthesis by leucine deprivation also produced a marked reduction in the incorporation of radioactive oleic acid into the total polar lipids at about the same time that growth stopped (30 to 60 min after the removal of leucine). However, the different classes of lipids behaved differently. For example, the incorporation of oleic acid into cardiolipin was inhibited immediately upon removal of leucine from the cultures, whereas incorporation into phosphatidyl-glycerol was maintained at near normal rates for 60 min after the removal of leucine and then ceased. In contrast, the accumulation of radioactive oleic acid in a neutral lipid identified as diglyceride occurred to a much greater extent in leucine-deprived cultures than in control (+ leucine) cultures. Upon addition of leucine to leucine-deprived cultures, the rates of synthesis of phosphatidyl-glycerol and cardiolipin returned to normal; the amount of radioactivity in the diglyceride fraction decreased to normal levels concomitantly with increased phospholipid synthesis. 相似文献

Effect of vitamin K depletion and restoration on sphingolipid metabolism in Bacteroides melaninogenicus 总被引:4,自引:0,他引:4
Bacteroides melaninogenicus requires vitamin K for normal growth. Cells incubated in a vitamin K-free medium form defective cell envelopes. Studies with vitamin K-grown "K(+)" and vitamin K-depleted "K(-)" cells showed that [(14)C]choline and [(14)C]glycerol were not taken up, but several amino acids and acetate were incorporated to the same degree by both types of cultures. However, K(-) cells incorporated succinate to a greater degree than did K(+) cultures. The relative incorporation of succinate into ceramide phosphorylethanolamine and ceramide phosphorylglycerol was depressed compared with incorporation into phosphatidylethanolamine in K(-) cultures. B. melaninogenicus can be grown in serial subculture in the absence of vitamin K in the presence of 2.5 mg/ml of succinate. Under these conditions the relative incorporation of [2,3-(14)C]succinate and (32)P into ceramide phosphorylethanolamine and ceramide phosphorylglycerol is markedly depressed. Stimulation of phosphosphingolipid synthesis by vitamin K was shown by comparing the uptake of (32)P and lipid phosphorus levels of a succinate-grown, vitamin K-depleted culture supplemented with (32)P plus 0.1 micro g/ml vitamin K(1) with a similar culture supplemented with (32)P only. The phosphosphingolipids from the vitamin K-supplemented cells incorporated greater amounts of (32)P and had higher levels of phosphorus than did the ceramide phosphorylethanolamine and ceramide phosphorylglycerol of the culture without added vitamin K. It was further shown that vitamin K added to a vitamin K-depleted culture stimulated synthesis of ceramide phosphorylethanolamine and ceramide phosphorylglycerol 38 min and 60 min, respectively, following the addition of the vitamin; incorporation of (32)P into other phospholipids was unaffected. 相似文献
