Immature rat epididymal epithelial cells grown in static primary monolayer culture on permeable supports 总被引:1,自引:0,他引:1
A cell culture system is characterized for monolayers of immature rat epididymal epithelial cells grown on permeable supports. Cover of the filters was achieved by days 4-5 and was maintained for 9-12 days. The secretion of acid phosphatase (ACP), alkaline phosphatase (AKP) and N-acetylglucosaminidase (NAG) into apical and basal compartments of culture chambers was monitored with time in culture for cells from the proximal and distal epididymis of 37-day-old animals. There was independent secretion of the three enzymes: secretion of NAG and AKP was mainly apical, that of ACP basal; daily secretion of ACP and AKP was constant throughout culture, that of NAG declined; there was greater secretion of NAG and AKP by cells from the proximal than the distal region. The initial high apical secretion of NAG is thought to reflect loss of enzyme from unattached cells, whereas the later AKP secretion is truly directional. Secretion was not influenced by the enzymes used in cell preparation. The cytotoxic agent Thimerosal inhibited secretion of all enzymes when placed beneath the cultures, indicating that secretion depended on viable cells, but initially stimulated release of AKP when applied above the cells possibly reflecting release from the cell membrane. 相似文献

Osteoclasts disaggregated from neonatal rat long bones and incubated on plastic or glass substrates were found to release a considerable proportion of tartrate-resistant acid phosphatase into culture supernatants. Enzyme release was detectable in the supernatant medium of cultures containing as few as ten cells after 1 hr of incubation and proceeded in a linear manner for the ensuing 6 hr. Calcitonin (1 pg/ml) and cytochalasin B (5 micrograms/ml) inhibited release into the supernatant, suggesting that release represents enzyme secretion. Prostaglandin E1 induced transient inhibition followed by recovery; parathyroid hormone and 1,25(OH)2 vitamin D3 were without influence. Acid phosphatase release in these cultures shows a pattern of hormone responsiveness that coincides with the effects of these hormones on bone resorption by isolated osteoclasts. The extent of acid phosphatase release and its regulation by calciotropic hormones imply a central role for acid hydrolase secretion in osteoclastic bone resorption. The experimental system described in this study may facilitate analysis of the pharmacological hormonal and cellular regulation of osteoclastic function. 相似文献

A protease inhibitor with a molecular weight of about 12,800 was purified to electrophoretic homogeneity from Daucus carota cells. The protease inhibitor was heat stable and inhibited trypsin but had no activity toward chymotrypsin or subtilisin. Nonembryogenic as well as embryogenic strains contained the inhibitor in similar amounts, but in the embryogenic strains the trypsin inhibitor was released from the cells and as a result accumulated in high concentrations in the culture medium, whereas no release of the trypsin inhibitor was found during cultivation of the nonembryogenic strains. Very low amounts of acid phosphatase or α-mannosidase activity were found in the culture filtrate of both embryogenic and nonembryogenic strains, which suggest that the release of the inhibitor from embryogenic strains was not due to cell lysis. 相似文献

2-Deoxy-D-glucose (2-DG) inhibited the release of transforming Kirsten murine sarcoma-leukemia virus [KiMSV(KiMuLV)] from transformed rat kidney (NRK-K) cells. At a concentration of 30 mM 2-DG, RNA synthesis in NRK-K cells was inhibited by approximately 30 percent and protein synthesis was inhibited by as much as 80 percent of control levels. RNA synthesis was not inhibited in nontransformed normal rat kidney (NRK) cells, although protein synthesis was equally suppressed in NRK and NRK-K cells. After treatment with 2-DG, the release of physical particles of KiMSV(KiMuLV) from NRK-K cels was not reduced as determined by equilibrium density gradient centrifugation and assays for RNA-dependent DNA polymerase of culture fluids. The ability to detect virion-associated radioactivity in equilibrium density gradients was dependent on the conditions of labeling. Sodium dodecyl sulfate-polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis of KiMSV(KiMulLV) proteins revealed marked structural alterations after propagation of the virus in 30 mM 2-DG. These alterations may account for the observed loss of transforming ability of KiMSV(KiMuLV). 相似文献

The effects of the phosphatase inhibitors calyculin A and okadaic acid on amylase release from streptolysin-O permeabilized rat pancreatic acini were investigated. Both agents induced similar biphasic effects with moderate potentiation of calcium-stimulated amylase release at medium and strong inhibition at higher concentrations. Calyculin A was thirty times more potent than okadaic acid and at 100 nM totally inhibited calcium-induced amylase release while 3 microM okadaic acid reduced amylase release by 78%. 100nM calyculin A also completely inhibited GTP gamma S-potentiated amylase release and partially inhibited phorbol ester potentiated secretion. The data indicate that inhibition of a serine/threonine phosphatase, probably a type 1 phosphatase, leads to inhibition of calcium-induced amylase release in permeabilized pancreatic acini. 相似文献

The importance of protein phosphatases in maintaining the integrity of intermediate filaments is supported by the fact that intermediate filaments would undergo a massive reorganization in cells treated with inhibitors of protein phosphatases 1 and 2A. Herein we used okadaic acid to investigate the differential roles of protein phosphatases 1 and 2A in the maintenance of intermediate filament integrity in 9L rat brain tumor cells. Protein phosphatase 2A activity was substantially inhibited after treatment with 400 nM okadaic acid for 2 h, whereas the activity of protein phosphatase 1 was only slightly affected. Furthermore, protein phosphatase 2A shows selective specificity toward phosphovimentin, which was immunologically precipitated from isotopically labeled and okadaic acid-treated cells. Further biochemical fractionation and microscopic studies revealed that vimentin intermediate filaments were colocalized with protein phosphatase 2A, but not protein phosphatase 1, in control cells. On okadaic acid treatment, vimentin filament disassembled and protein phosphatase 2A redistributed throughout the cytoplasm, suggesting that these two proteins separate from each other, whereas protein phosphatase 2A was inhibited. This working hypothesis was further supported by treatment with a low concentration (40 nM) of okadaic acid, which causes the same phenomenon. Taken together, our results showed that protein phosphatase 2A could be assigned to the intermediate filaments to serve the physiological role in maintaining the proper phosphorylation level of intermediate filaments in normal cells. This finding should pave the way for the elucidation of the regulatory mechanism of intermediate filament organization governed by protein phosphorylation. 相似文献

We examined the effects of various extracellular calcium concentrations on DNA content, procollagen type I carboxy-terminal propeptide (PICP) release (reflects type I collagen synthesis), and alkaline phosphatase activity of porcine osteoblasts. Osteoblasts seeded in control medium (2.2 mM calcium) were transferred to low (0.5 or 1 mM) calcium medium or to high (3, 5, 7, or 10 mM) calcium medium at different stages of the culture period and for different incubation times. When osteoblasts were transferred to low or high (3 or 5 mM) calcium medium 1 or 2 days after plating and kept in that medium until the end of the culture period, PICP release was inhibited, but DNA content and alkaline phosphatase activity were unchanged, except in 5 mM calcium, which inhibited alkaline phosphatase activity. Short-term culture of subconfluent and near-confluent osteoblasts in 7 or 10 mM calcium for 48 h inhibited DNA content. DNA content returned to normal levels when cells were transferred back to control medium, whereas alkaline phosphatase inhibition induced by 5, 7, or 10 mM calcium was not reversible. Short-term culture in high calcium media did not affect PICP release. Thus, in porcine osteoblasts, low and high extracellular calcium concentrations affect DNA content, PICP release, and the expression of osteoblastic phenotype markers (alkaline phosphatase activity). These effects are dependent on the duration of calcium treatment and the state of differentiation of the osteoblasts. 相似文献

Metalorganic and quarternary ammonium compounds when added to culture medium inhibited growth of Aspergillus niger mycelium and activity of neutral and alkaline phosphatase. A quarternary ammonium compound, ethonium, and a tin-organic compound, tributyl oxide, exerted an inhibiting effect on activity of acid phosphatase which amounted to 54% of the total phosphatase activity in mycelium and 94% in the culture liquid. The rest of biocides induced lysis of intracellular membranes, phosphatase release from lysosomas, which made acid phosphatase activity higher. Being introduced into the mycelium homogenate the above compounds inhibited activity of the acid phosphatase. The same biocides inhibited extracellular acid phosphatase in the culture liquid. Recommendations are given on the use of a number of substances as means for protection of industrial materials from biolesions. 相似文献

Summary Mesenchyme cells derived from embryonic rat limb buds cultured at high density differentiated into chondrocytes. The degree of chondrogenesis was assessed by alcian blue staining, a stain specific for cartilage matrix. The addition of retinoic acid on day 1 of culture inhibited chondrogenesis in a dose-dependent fashion. When retinoic acid was added to the cultures on day 5, the cartilage nodules, consisting of newly differentiated cartilage cells, disappeared during the following 6 days. Coinciding with this process the histochemically demonstrable alkaline phosphatase activity, localized in the internodular areas, also disappeared. This indicated that retinoic acid not only inhibited chondrogenesis but also induced resorption of cartilage cells and that at least two cell types were affected, the cartilage cells and the cells bearing alkaline phosphatase.Actinomycin D and cycloheximide, inhibitors of RNA and protein synthesis, suppressed the retinoic acid effect in day 5 limb bud cell cultures. This result indicated that the effect of retinoic acid required RNA and protein synthesis and is compatible with the view that vitamin A may act in a hormone-like way. 相似文献

We studied the effect of sodium 2-[5-(4-chlorophenyl)pentyl]oxirane-2-carboxylate (POCA), a potent inhibitor of mitochondrial carnitine palmitoyltransferase I, on fatty acid oxidation by rat brain cells. In cultured glial cells as well as in dissociated brain cells from adult rats palmitic acid (16:0) oxidation was inhibited by about 85% of control values when 25 microM POCA was added to the medium, whereas no inhibition of cerotic acid (26:0) oxidation was observed. Furthermore, omission of carnitine from the culture medium resulted in a 57.7% decrease in palmitic acid oxidation in cultured glial cells, whereas cerotic acid oxidation was not influenced. These results indicate that rat brain peroxisomes contribute only little (about 15%) to palmitic acid oxidation and provide conclusive evidence that cerotic acid is oxidized exclusively in rat brain peroxisomes. 相似文献

The role of protein phosphatases in the regulation of insulin release from rat pancreatic islets was studied with protein phosphatase inhibitors, okadaic acid and calyculin A. Okadaic acid inhibited glucose- and glyceraldehyde-induced insulin release dose-dependently and also inhibited the potentiation of glucose-induced release either by adding forskolin, an activator of adenylate cyclase or by increasing K+ concentration to 25 mM. At a non-stimulatory concentration of 3 mM glucose, a high concentration (2 microM) of okadaic acid inhibited insulin release induced by high K+ or 12-O-tetradecanoylphorbol-13-acetate (TPA), an activator of protein kinase C, but a low concentration (1 microM) of okadaic acid did not significantly inhibit TPA-induced insulin release. Calyculin A also inhibited glucose-induced insulin release, and the effect was greater than that of okadaic acid. The data suggest that protein phosphatases may play an important role in the regulation of insulin release. 相似文献

Functional and anatomical relationships between antral gastrin cells and gastrin-releasing peptide neurons 总被引:1,自引:0,他引:1
The present studies were directed to examine the effect of gastrin-releasing peptide (GRP) on beta-adrenergic stimulated gastrin release by cultured rat antral mucosa and to assess the anatomical relationship between gastrin cells and GRP nerves in rat and human antrum. Peptide-containing cells were identified by application of an avidin-biotin-peroxidase immunocytochemical double staining method utilizing antibodies to GRP and gastrin prepared in rabbits. Rat antral mucosa was cultured for 60 min and gastrin released into the culture medium was measured by radioimmunoassay. Inclusion of antibodies to GRP in culture medium did not affect carbachol-stimulated gastrin release, whereas isoproterenol-stimulated gastrin release into the medium was inhibited significantly by addition of GRP antiserum to the culture medium. GRP-containing neurons and axonal fibers were stained immunocytochemically with diaminobenzidine (reddish-brown specific staining) and were located in the lamina propria adjacent to and surrounding the main lobules of antral glands. After double staining utilizing 4-Cl-1-Naphthol as substrate, blue stained gastrin-containing cells were identified in the middle and deeper regions of antral glands in close proximity to GRP neuronal elements. These studies suggest that beta-adrenergic, but not cholinergic, stimulation of gastrin release is mediated, at least in part, through GRP. They also demonstrate intimate anatomical, as well as functional, relationships between gastrin cells and GRP-containing neurons. 相似文献

Renal medullary cells from the rat were used to establish a cell culture line. The morphologic characteristics of these cells were similar to renal medullary interstitial cells. They produced substantial amounts of PGE when provided with arachidonic acid or fetal calf serum. PGE production was inhibited 80–90% by indomethacin or meclofenamate. PGE release by the cells was sensitive to and stimulated by changing the culture media. Stable levels of PGE in the media could be achieved if media changes were avoided during the experimental period. 相似文献

Endothelial cells in culture produce a vasoconstrictor substance 总被引:7,自引:0,他引:7
We report that cultured vascular endothelial cells release into the culture medium a vasoconstrictor peptide, a substance we call an endothelium-derived constricting factor (EDCF). Conditioned medium from cultured bovine aortic and pulmonary artery endothelial cells caused sustained, dose-dependent isometric constriction of vascular rings isolated from bovine coronary and pulmonary arteries and rat and guinea pig pulmonary arteries and aortas. The medium also caused vasoconstriction when infused into isolated, perfused rabbit hearts and rat kidneys. Conditioned medium from bovine aortic intimal explants also contained constrictor activity, whereas medium from denuded intimal explants, cultured microvascular endothelial cells, vascular smooth muscle cells, or lung fibroblasts did not. Constrictor activity increased progressively in the culture medium over 2-12 h of incubation. Thrombin stimulated the release of constrictor activity; hypoxia, anoxia and meclofenamate had no effect and the calcium ionophore A23187 inhibited EDCF release. The EDCF caused a characteristic slow-onset and sustained constriction of the vascular rings that relaxed slowly over 60-90 min following removal. The constriction was not affected by inhibitors of arachidonic acid metabolism or by antagonists of serotonergic, histaminergic, alpha-adrenergic, opioid, leukotriene, angiotensin II, or substance P receptors; constriction was reversed partly by verapamil and acetylcholine and completely by nitroprusside and isoproterenol. EDCF was heat stable, not extractable into organic solvents, and completely destroyed by trypsin and neutral protease. Cycloheximide blocked the production of EDCF. These properties and the results of polyacrylamide gel filtration experiments suggested that EDCF was a peptide with a molecular weight of 3,000 daltons. These findings show that endothelial cells in culture produce a vasoconstrictor substance and support the idea that endothelial cell products play a role in mediating vascular tone. 相似文献

Cyclic adenosine 3',5'-monophosphate (cAMP) has been implicated in the control of placental function. The present investigation was designed to evaluate the actions of cAMP analogues on the control of rat placental development. Two model systems were used to assess the actions of cAMP in the placenta: 1) a rat placental cell line and 2) rat labyrinth placental explants. Elevation of intracellular cAMP via treatment with cAMP analogues, 3-isobutyl-1-methylxanthine, forskolin, or cholera toxin inhibited placental cell DNA synthesis whereas treatment with an analogue to cyclic guanosine 3',5'-monophosphate was without effect. The inhibitory actions of dibutyryl cAMP on DNA synthesis were at least partially reversible and were not the result of metabolic toxicity. Dibutyryl cAMP had dramatic effects on the organization and morphology of placental cells growing in vitro and diminished the ability of the placental cells to grow following transplantation into allogeneic hosts. Differentiation-associated characteristics of rat placental cells were also affected by cAMP. cAMP analogues stimulated placental cell progesterone release and inhibited placental cell alkaline phosphatase activity. Dibutyryl cAMP had effects on placental labyrinth explants similar to its effects on the placental cell line. Dibutyryl cAMP inhibited explant outgrowth while stimulating explant release of progesterone. In summary, cAMP effectively modulates the growth and differentiation of rat placental cells in vitro. 相似文献

Tetrahymena cultures were grown from a single inoculum and collected on 3 successive days corresponding to the log, transitional, and early stationary phases of growth. Cells were washed and incubated for 5 hr in a dilute salt solution. Intra- and extracellular activities of acid phosphatase, α-glucosidase, and ribonuclease were assayed, and extracellular activities corrected for proteolytic degradation. A marked increase in the cellular content of acid phosphatase and significant decreases in α-glucosidase and ribonuclease occurred with advancing culture age. The intracellular changes in enzyme activities during incubation were roughly similar for cells of all ages. Protein content did not change appreciably during incubation. Extracellular A255 release, monitored as an indication of the loss of RNA breakdown products, was at a minimum during incubation of transition cells. Significant quantities of all 3 acid hydrolases were released from cells of all ages except for ribonuclease from transition cells. The release of acid phosphatase and α-glucosidase was approximately proportional to the initial cellular content of these enzymes for cells of different ages and in log cells the effect of temperature on the rates of release was described by the Arrhenius equation. Release of ribonuclease, however, was not proportional to its intracellular content nor did it vary with temperature according to the Arrhenius equation. The results suggest that acid phosphatase and α-glucosidase are released via a first-order process. 相似文献

We have examined the ability of dexamethasone, retinoic acid, and vitamin D3 to induce osteogenic differentiation in rat marrow stromal cell cultures by measuring the expression of mRNAs associated with the differentiated osteoblast phenotype as well as analyzing collagen secretion and alkaline phosphatase activity. Marrow cells were cultured for 8 days in primary culture and 8 days in secondary culture, with and without 10 nM dexamethasone or 1 microM retinoic acid. Under all conditions, cultures produced high levels of osteonectin mRNA. Cells grown with dexamethasone in both primary and secondary culture contained elevated alkaline phosphatase mRNA and significant amounts of type I collagen and osteopontin mRNA. Addition of 1,25-dihydroxyvitamin D3 to these dexamethasone-treated cultures induced expression of osteocalcin mRNA and increased osteopontin mRNA. The levels of alkaline phosphatase, osteopontin, and osteocalcin mRNAs in Dex/Dex/VitD3 cultures were comparable to those of 1,25-dihydroxyvitamin D3-treated ROS 17/2.8 osteosarcoma cells. Omitting dexamethasone from either primary or secondary culture resulted in significantly less alkaline phosphatase mRNA, little osteopontin mRNA, and no osteocalcin mRNA. Retinoic acid increased alkaline phosphatase activity to a greater extent than did dexamethasone but did not have a parallel effect on the expression of alkaline phosphatase mRNA and induced neither osteopontin or osteocalcin mRNAs. In all conditions, marrow stromal cells synthesized and secreted a mixture of type I and III collagens. However, dexamethasone-treated cells also synthesized an additional collagen type, provisionally identified as type V. The synthesis and secretion of collagens type I and III was decreased by both dexamethasone and retinoic acid. Neither dexamethasone nor retinoic acid induced mRNAs associated with the chondrogenic phenotype. We conclude that dexamethasone, but not retinoic acid, promotes the expression of markers of the osteoblast phenotype in cultures of rat marrow stromal fibroblasts. 相似文献

We recently reported that primary fetal bovine Kidney (PFBK) cells were consistently more sensitive to the cytotoxic effects of fusarium T-2 toxin than Madin-Darby bovine kidney (MDBK) cells in culture. The present report examined the influence of T-2 on selected biochemical parameters of these two culture types. T-2 toxin inhibited incorporation of labeled thymidine, uridine, and leucine in both culture types; at lower concentrations of the toxin, PFBK cells were affected to a greater extent than MDBK cells. T-2 toxin inhibited both the transport of thymidine as well as thymidine incorporation into macromolecules in MDBK cells during initial periods, but did not affect uridine incorporation. The cellular enzymes, K+- dependent phosphatase and succinic dehydrogenase were inhibited in MDBK but not in PFBK cultures; acid phosphatase was not influenced in either culture types. In a cell-free system none of the above enzymes were affected by T-2 until the toxin concentration exceeded 10?5M. 相似文献

Diphosphonates are known to inhibit bone resorption in tissue culture and in experimental animals. This effect may be due to their ability to inhibit the dissolution of hydroxyapatite crystals, but other mechanisms may be important. Since lysosomal enzymes have implicated in the process of bone resorption, we have examined the effect of several phosphonates and of a polyphosphate (P20,2) on lysosomal hydrolases derived from rat liver and rat bone. Dichloromethylene diphosphonate strongly inhibited acid beta-glycerophosphatase (EC 3.1.3.2) and acid p-nitrophenyl phosphatase (EC 3.1.3.2) and to a lesser degree (in descending order) acid pyrophosphatase (EC 3.1.3.-), arylsulfatase A (EC 3.1.6.1), deoxyribonuclease II(EC 3.1.4.6) and phosphoprotein phosphatase (EC 3.1.3.16) of rat liver. Inhibition of acid p-nitrophenyl phosphatase and arylsulfatase A was competitive. Ethane-1-hydroxy-1, 1-diphosphonate did not inhibit any of these enzymes, except at high concentrations. Neither dichloromethylene diphosphonate nor ethane-1-hydroxy-1, 1-diphosphonate had any effect on beta-glucuronidase (EC 3.2.1.31), arylesterase (EC 3.1.1.2) and cathepsin D (EC 3.4.23.5). Of several other phosphonates tested only undec-10-ene-1-hydroxy-1, 1-diphosphonic acid inhibited acid p-nitrophenyl phosphatase strongly, the polyphosphate (P20, I) had little effect. Acid p-nitrophenyl phosphatase in rat calvaria extract behaved in the same way as the liver enzyme and was also strongly inhibited by dichloromethylene diphosphonate, but not by ethane-1-hydroxy-1, 1-diphosphonate. It is suggested that the inhibition of bone resorption by dichloromethylene diphosphonate might be due in part to a direct effect of this diphosphonate on lysosomal hydrolases. 相似文献
