The cytomegalovirus promoter is a very potent promoter commonly used for driving the expression of transgenes, though it gradually becomes silenced in stably transfected cells. We examined the methylation status of the cytomegalovirus promoter in two different cell lines and characterized its mechanisms of activation by dimethylsulfoxide and 5-Aza-2'-deoxycytidine. The cytomegalovirus promoter stably transfected into Chinese hamster ovary cells is suppressed by DNA methylation-independent mechanisms, which is different from the rat embryonic cardiomyoblast H9c2-Fluc.3 cells in which the cytomegalovirus promoter is silenced by methylation. Dimethylsulfoxide and 5-Aza-2'-deoxycytidine can activate the cytomegalovirus promoter in both cell types by overlapping mechanisms. Dimethylsulfoxide activates the cytomegalovirus promoter in Chinese hamster ovary cells by promoting histone acetylation and the activation of p38 mitogen-activated protein kinase and nuclear factor kappaB (NFkappaB) signaling pathways, while 5-Aza-2'-deoxycytidine increases histone acetylation and activates the nuclear factor kappaB but not the p38 mitogen-activated protein kinase pathway. In H9c2-Fluc.3 cells, both agents promote demethylation of the cytomegalovirus promoter, and enhance its activity exclusively through activation of the nuclear factor kappaB pathway and to a lesser extent of the p38 mitogen-activated protein kinase pathway. Our findings suggest that suppression and activation of the cytomegalovirus promoter are cell type-specific. These results may be used for developing strategies to enhance the expression of transgenes and the production of recombinant proteins encoded by transgenes controlled by a cytomegalovirus promoter. 相似文献

A truncated xylanase gene from the ruminal bacterium Fibrobacter succinogenes S85 was expressed in Chinese hamster ovary (CHO) cells and pancreatic acinar 266–6 cells using the SV40 early promoter and the mouse Amy-2.2 promoter/enhancer, respectively. The enzyme produced in both systems was active and secreted into the medium. The xylanase secreted from CHO cells was highly glycosylated and became sensitive to protease digestion compared to the unglycosylated form. © Rapid Science Ltd. 1998 相似文献

Chinese hamster ovary (CHO) cells were transfected with a human interleukin 4 (IL-4) expression plasmid in which human IL-4 cDNA is linked downstream of the human cytomegalovirus/human immunodeficiency virus chimeric promoter. The plasmid also contained a mouse dihydrofolate reductase (dhfr) gene, expression of which is directed by the SV40 early promoter. The resulting methotrexate-resistant, transformed cells constitutively secreted a high level of human IL-4. CHO cells producing human IL-4 were cultured on microcarriers in a perfusion cell culture system containing 1 l of culture medium, and a high level of human IL-4 (5 × 104U ml−1) was produced at a high cell density (1 × 107cells per ml). Serum-free culture was also examined. 相似文献

We investigated the effects of prolactin (PRL) on the protein kinase C (PKC) activity in Chinese hamster ovary (CHO-E32) cells stably transfected with rabbit mammary gland PRL receptor cDNA. These cells express a functional long form of PRL-R. A 10-min to 2-hour treatment with 5 nM PRL resulted in the translocation of PKC activity from the cytosol to the membrane. Longer treatment (10–24 h) with the same concentration of PRL decreased the PKC activity in both particulate and cytoplasmic fractions. The PRL effect was dose dependent: maximal action was obtained with 1–10 nM. The PRL-induced activation of PKC was blocked by 20 nM staurosporine, a PKC inhibitor. Two inhibitors of tyrosine kinase, herbimycin A (1.75 µM) and genistein (100 µM), had no effect on PRL-induced activation of PKC. 相似文献

Two Chinese hamster ovary (CHO) cell lines stably transfected with human insulin receptor cDNA, CHO-wt and CHO-mut, which express an equivalent number of normal and kinase-defective human insulin receptors, respectively, were used to assess the roles of insulin receptor tyrosine kinase activity in insulin-regulated gene expression. The effect of insulin on gene-33-promoter-driven chloramphenicol acetyltransferase (CAT), RSVLTR-driven -galactosidase (pRSVLTR-gal) and SV40 late-promoter-driven hepatitis B surface antigen (pMLSV2HBsAg) were examined in CHO-wt and CHO-mut cells. Insulin-stimulated gene 33 promoter is 10- to 50-fold more effective in CHO-wt cells than that in parental CHO cells. However, no enhancement of insulin sensitivity of gene 33 promoter in CHO-mut cells relative to parental CHO cells was found. Similar phenomena were also observed, in that insulin regulated pRSVLTR-gal and pMLSV2HBsAg in these three CHO lines. Our data indicated that the protein kinase activity of the insulin receptor is essential for the stimulatory activity of insulin toward the activities of different promoters. 相似文献

We previously developed a promoter-activated production (PAP) system using amplified ras oncogene to activate the cytomegalovirus (CMV) promoter controlling the foreign gene in mammalian cells. CHO cells were demonstrated to be suitable for the PAP system. Here, we show that very high-level production of a recombinant protein was achieved when the human CMV promoter was inserted into a glutamine synthetase (GS) minigene expression plasmid, pEE14. A highly productive host CHO cell line, ras clone I containing amplified ras oncogene, was further transfected with the plasmid expressing both hIL-6 gene and GS minigene, and selected with methionine sulphoximine. We were able to establish a hIL-6 hyper-producing cell line, D29, which exhibited a peak productivity rate of approximately 40 μg hIL-6 10?6 cells day?1 through a combination of the PAP system and the GS gene amplification system. The cellular productivity of D29 cells was about 13-fold higher than control hIL-6-producing cells derived from CHO cells whose hIL-6 gene was amplified by the GS gene amplification system, and about 5-fold higher than the I13 cells established by the PAP system, which contains amplified ras oncogene and non-amplified hIL-6 gene. When D29 cells were cultured for a month, an accumulation rate of approximately 80 μg hIL-6 ml?1 per 3 days was achieved on the 9th day. These results indicate that this PAP and GS hybrid system enables the efficient and rapid establishment of recombinant protein hyper-producing cell lines. 相似文献

It has been suggested that the signal transduction pathway initiated by apoA-I activates key proteins involved in cellular lipid efflux. We investigated apoA-I-mediated cAMP signaling in cultured human fibroblasts induced with (22R)-hydroxycholesterol and 9-cis-retinoic acid (stimulated cells).

Interleukin-4 (IL-4) regulates the expression of the 55-kDa alpha-subunit (CD25) of the IL-2 receptor complex in human B lymphocytes. This report suggests that the cAMP/protein kinase A (PKA) component of the IL-4 receptor signalling programme in human tonsillar B cells has a functionally important role in regulating expression of the CD25 gene by attenuating activity of a protein binding to a potent negative regulatory element (NRE) in the CD25 promoter; this effect can be mimicked by agents that elevate cAMP and blocked by inhibitors of PKA but not protein kinase C (PKC). In a B-cell line that fails to elevate cAMP, attenuate NRE-binding protein (NRE-BP) activity or express CD25 following IL-4 treatment, stimulation of cAMP accumulation by forskolin facilitates IL-4-mediated induction of both the endogenous gene and an exogenous reporter gene under the control of a minimal promoter/enhancer fragment of the CD25 gene. 相似文献

Protection against the pore-forming activity of the human C5b-9 proteins was conferred on a nonprimate cell by transfection with cDNA encoding the human complement regulatory protein CD59. CD59 was stably expressed in Chinese hamster ovary cells using the pFRSV mammalian expression vector. After cloning and selection, the transfected cells were maintained in media containing various concentrations of methotrexate, which induced surface expression of up to 4.2 x 10(6) molecules of CD59/cell. Phosphatidylinositol-specific phospholipase C removed greater than 95% of surface-expressed CD59 antigen, confirming that recombinant CD59 was tethered to the Chinese hamster ovary plasma membrane by a lipid anchor. The recombinant protein exhibited an apparent molecular mass of 21-24 kDa (versus 18-21 kDa for human erythrocyte CD59). After N-glycanase digestion, recombinant and erythrocyte CD59 comigrated with apparent molecular masses of 12-14 kDa, suggesting altered structure of asparagine-linked carbohydrate in recombinant versus erythrocyte CD59. The function of the recombinant protein was evaluated by changes in the sensitivity of the CD59 transfectants to the pore-forming activity of human C5b-9. Induction of cell-surface expression of CD59 antigen inhibited C5b-9 pore formation in a dose-dependent fashion. CD59 transfectants expressing greater than or equal to 1.2 x 10(6) molecules of CD59/cell were completely resistant to human serum complement. By contrast, CD59 transfectants remained sensitive to the pore-forming activity of guinea pig C8 and C9 (bound to human C5b67). Functionally blocking antibody against erythrocyte CD59 abolished the human complement resistance observed for the CD59-transfected Chinese hamster ovary cells. These results confirm that the C5b-9 inhibitory function of the human erythrocyte membrane is provided by CD59 and suggest that the gene for this protein can be expressed in xenotypic cells to confer protection against human serum complement. 相似文献

A Chinese hamster ovary cell mutant with greatly reduced catalytic activity of cAMP-dependent protein kinase was compared with wild type cells having normal kinase activity for differences in biosynthesis, uptake and conjugation of polyamines. The inducibility of ornithine decarboxylase in response to cAMP, serum, human chorionic gonadotropin, asparagine and phorbol esters was greatly reduced in the mutant cells. Putrescine, spermidine and spermine levels rose 2–6 fold in wild type cells but in kinase mutant cells the basal and stimulated levels were generally lower. The cellular uptake and conjugation of radiolabelled putrescine and spermidine were reduced 5–10 fold in the kinase mutant cells. These results provide further evidence of the positive regulatory control exerted by cAMP-dependent protein kinase on polyamine biosynthesis. 相似文献

The activation of phospholipase D in murine B cell lymphoma A20 cells treated with anti-Fas monoclonal antibody has been investigated. Fas cross-linking resulted in a both dose- and time-dependent increases in phospholipase D activity. There was a nearly maximum saturated rise in phospholipase D activity at the dose of 200 ng/ml anti-Fas monoclonal antibody showing a fourfold increase within 3 h. Fas activation also caused an approximately twofold increase of phosphatidylcholine-specific phospholipase C activity and 1,2-diacylglycerol release, which could be blocked by 30 min pretreatment with the phosphatidylcholine-specific phospholipase C inhibitor D609 (50 microgram/ml). Pretreatment of D609 also effectively inhibited the translocation of protein kinase C betaI and betaII from the cytosol to the membrane and the activation of phospholipase D induced by Fas cross-linking, suggesting that 1, 2-diacylglycerol released from the cellular phosphatidylcholine pool through phosphatidylcholine-specific phospholipase C plays a major role in protein kinase C/phospholipase D activation. Anti-Fas monoclonal antibody failed to elicit phosphoinositide-specific phospholipase C activation and any changes in the intracellular Ca2+ level in A20 cells, indicating that the phosphoinositide-mediated pathway is not involved in this Fas signaling. Therefore, these results suggest that Fas-mediated phospholipase D activation may be a consequence of primary stimulation of phosphatidylcholine-specific phospholipase C and that phospholipase D may play a role in Fas cross-linking signaling downstream from phosphatidylcholine-specific phospholipase C. 相似文献

We have investigated the roles of ceramide in Fas signalling leading to phospholipase D (PLD) activation in A20 cells. Upon stimulation of Fas signalling by anti-Fas monoclonal antibody, sphingomyelin hydrolysis and activation of PLD were induced. Also, the translocation of protein kinase C (PKC) βI and βII and the elevation of diacylglycerol (DAG) content were induced by Fas cross-linking. When phosphatidylcholine-specific phospholipase C (PC-PLC) was inhibited by D609, the Fas-induced changes in PLD activity, DAG content, and PKC translocation were inhibited. In contrast, D609 had no effect on Fas-induced alterations in sphingolipid metabolism, suggesting that changes in ceramide content do not account for Fas-induced PLD activation. Furthermore, C6-ceramide had no effect on Fas-induced PLD activation and PKC translocation. Taken together, these data might suggest that ceramide generated by Fas cross-linking does not affect PKC β-dependent PLD activity stimulated by anti-Fas monoclonal antibody in A20 cells. 相似文献

The present study explored whether calcitriol plays a role in the regulation of sodium-dependent glucose transporter protein
1 (SGLT1) activity. For this purpose, alpha-methyl glucoside (AMG) uptake in stable transfected Chinese hamster ovary (CHO-G6D3)
cells expressing rabbit SGLT1 (rbSGLT1) was used. The involvement of second messengers, intracellular signaling pathways,
and pro-inflammatory cytokines were examined using specific inhibitors before incubation with calcitriol for 15 min. The present
study demonstrated the involvement of second messengers produced by phospholipase A2, phospholipase C, calmodulin, diacylglycerol kinase, and phosphoinositide 3 kinase on calcitriol-regulated AMG uptake. Pretreatment
with inhibitors of the mitogen-activated protein kinase (MAPK) signaling pathway increased calcitriol-induced AMG uptake.
In contrast, inhibition of the phosphoinositide 3-kinase PI3K/Akt/mTOR signaling pathway decreased the effect of calcitriol
on AMG uptake. These findings suggest that calcitriol regulates rbSGLT1 activity through a rapid, extranuclear initiated mechanism
of action stimulated by MAPK and inhibited by PI3K/Akt/mTOR. Another important finding was the effect of pro-inflammatory
cytokines on calcitriol-induced AMG uptake. Interleukin-6 increased while tumor necrosis factor-α decreased calcitriol-induced
AMG uptake. In conclusion, the present study demonstrates the involvement of calcitriol in the regulation of rbSGLT1 activity.
This is due to the activation of intracellular signaling pathways triggered by second messenger molecules and cytokines after
a short time (15 min) exposure to calcitriol. 相似文献

We investigated the regulatory mechanism of interleukin-6 (IL-6) synthesis induced by interleukin-1 (IL-1) in osteoblast-like MC3T3-E1 cells. IL-1 stimulated the secretion of IL-6 in a dose-dependent manner in the range between 0.1 and 100 ng/ml. Staurosporine and calphostin C, inhibitors of protein kinase C (PKC), significantly enhanced the IL-1-induced secretion of IL-6. The stimulative effect of IL-1 was markedly amplified in PKC down-regulated MC3T3-E1 cells. IL-1 produced diacylglycerol in MC3T3-E1 cells. IL-1 had little effect on the formation of inositol phosphates and choline. On the contrary, IL-1 significantly stimulated the formation of phosphocholine dose-dependently. D-609, an inhibitor of phosphatidylcholine-specific phospholipase C, suppressed the IL-1-induced diacylglycerol production. The IL-1-induced IL-6 secretion was significantly enhanced by D-609. These results indicate that IL-1 activates PKC via phosphatidylcholine-specific phospholipase C in osteoblast-like cells, and the PKC activation then limits IL-6 synthesis induced by IL-1 itself. J.
