Summary The tumor promotor 12-O-tetradecanoylphorbol-13-acetate (TPA) was examined for its ability to induce endogenous retrovirus from a high-passage clone
of Kirsten sarcoma virus-transformed Balb/c (K-Balb) mouse cells. TPA activated virus in a concentration-dependent manner
(0.0016 to 4.0 μM). Exposure to 1mM actinomycin D inhibited virus induction, suggesting that cellular RNA synthesis is required de novo by this inducer. A broad-spectrum
neutralizing antibody to murine type C virus, gp70, was shown to neutralize the infectivity of the induced virus. The activated
virus had the host range of the xenotropic Balb virus:2, and after removal of the inducer, the activated state decayed rapidly.
TPA stimulated DNA, RNA, and protein synthesis in K-Balb cells, indicating that the mechanism of inducation may be different
from that of previously identified virus inducers. The effects observed using the well-defined K-Balb system offer an opportunity
to study the modulation of retrovirus gene expression by TPA.

Summary Lymphoblastoid cells were cultured from twoHerpesvirus saimiri (HVS) inoculated white-lipped marmosets and from one HVS-inoculated owl monkey. Cells from all three animals grew clumped
in suspension. The cells from both species were diploid in chromo-some number and showed no unusual chromosomal abnormalities.
The marmoset cell line examined was chimaeric. The marmoset cells lacked HSV-associated antigens as determined by immunofluorescence,
and no evidence for the presence of virus was found by either infectivity assays or electron microscopy. Cocultivation of
these cells with Vero cells resulted in cytopathology and the recovery of complete, infectious virus. The owl monkey lymphoid
cells were positive to a small degree for both viral antigens and infectivity. The cells were resistant to rechallenge with
HVS. Cocultivation of these cells with Vero cells led to the development of cytopathology and an increased yield of virus.

Summary Experimental tumors developed in white Pekin ducks after intramuscular implantation of 20-methylcholanthrene. Cells derived
from the primary tumor were adapted successfully to grow in vitro and have growth characteristics similar to that of established
cell lines of mammalian origin. The cell density rises rapidly and the doubling time is approximately 19 hr. The duck cells
have been cultured succesfully for at least 80 passages in vitro. The continuously cultured cells have the characteristic
chromosome pattern of duck, and the DNA of the duck cell line hybridized with duck liver DNA. We believe we have established
a continuous cell line of avian origin. Electron-microscopic examinations of the tumor cells and RNA-directed DNA polymerase
of the cell-free supernate show no evidence of endogenous virus production.

Summary Cell line CRFK, derived from kidney tissue of a normal domestic kitten, was initiated in 1964. With intermittent periods of
storage in the frozen state, it has been grown in vitro during more than 200 passages, without apparent loss of susceptibility
to selected viruses. Various herpesviruses and feline viruses belonging to differnet virus groups grow readily and with distinct,
cytopathic features. The cells now grow as a smooth monolayer of epithelial-like cells; most have 37 chromosomes (2n−1) and
are thus aneuploid for cat karyotype. Three distinct marker chromosomes are identified. The cell line, which is free of mycoplasmal
contaimination, is useful in feline virus research and diagnostic medicine and has become of particular interest in cancer
research.

Summary Epithelial cells of normal rat (adult) liver and hamster embryo in tissue culture communicate through membrane junctions: the membrane regions of cell contact are highly ion-permeable. Cancerous counterparts of these cells, cells from Morris' and Reuber's liver tumors and from x-ray-transformed embryo cultures, do not communicate under the same experimental conditions. These cells also fail to communicate with contiguous normal cells. Cancerous fibroblastic cells from a variety of tissues, including cells transformed by virus, x-radiation and chemicals, communicate as well as their normal counterparts; this is so for long- and short-term cell cultures. Communication in some fibroblastic cells is sensitive to components of blood serum: normal and transformed hamster embryo fibroblasts, which communicate when cultured in medium containing fetal calf serum, appear to lose communication in medium containing calf serum; the converse holds for hamster (adult) fibroblasts and 3T3 cells.The preceding papers of this series appeared in the Journal of Cell Biology.Trainee of the National Institutes of Health, National Cancer Institute, Grant CA 05011. 相似文献

Summary Forty-six cell cultures established from amniocentesis fluids were preserved in liquid nitrogen and later recovered from the
frozen state with little loss of viability as compared to prefreeze viability. Five to 10% glycerol was found to be optimal
for preservation in liquid nitrogen, and as few as 5×105 viable cells per frozen ampule could initiate cell growth. Storage in liquid nitrogen did not affect the genetic stability
of glucose-6-phosphate dehydrogenase, lactate dehydrogenase, malic dehydrogenase, leucine aminopeptidase, acid phosphatase,
or 6-phosphogluconic acid dehydrogenase isozymes of the amnion cultures.

Quantitation of human mammary epithelial antigens in cells cultured from normal and cancerous breast tissues 总被引:1,自引:0,他引:1

Summary A sensitive radioimmunoassay technique was developed to quantitatite the level of human breast celltype specific antigens
on cells from normal breast and from various established cell lines of breast and nonbreast origins. Polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis
revealed four major proteinaceous components (150,000; 75,000; 60,000; and 48,000) in human milk fat globule membranes that
were used to immunize rabbits in order to elicit antimammary epithelial cell antibody. Antisera obtained were rendered specific
by abosorptions and were able to recognize three specific mammary epithelial components of the breast epithelial cell. Human
mammary epithelial (HME) antigen expression was highest (1290 ng/106 cells) in normal breast epithelial cells from primary cultures of normal breasts. Lower levels (range: 955 to 330 ng/106 cells) were found in breast epithelial cells from cell lines established from cancerous breast tissue. Cells of nonbreast
origins as well as fibroblasts from breast gave much lower values (less than 30 ng/106 cells). On treatment, with trypsin, of two breast epithelial cell lines (MDA-MB-157 and MCF-7) 80 to 85% of their HME antigen
expression was lost, suggesting that a majority of these breast antigens reside on the cell surface.

Chromosomes of the murine leukemia virus indicator cell line XC 总被引:1,自引:0,他引:1

A cell line derived from the Rous Sarcoma Virus induced rat tumor XC (Svoboda), which was recently utilized as an indicator for the presence of murine leukemia virus growing in mouse cells, has been examined karyologically. The cells differ considerably from each other as well as from the normal rat karyotype (Rattus norvegicus, 2n=42). The modal chromosome number is 41. All cells bear one or more chromosome markers in common as well as non-rat-like chromosomes, but rat-like chromosomes still preserve the identity of species origin.Supported by Contract No. PH 43-63-13 between the University of California and the National Cancer Institute, National Institutes of Health (Special Virus Cancer Program). 相似文献

Summary Three mosquito cell cultures designated as Suitor's clone ofAedes aegypti, Culiseta inornata, andAedes vexans were shown to be moth by immunological, karyological, and isozyme analyses. The cells reacted with rabbit antimoth serum
but not rabbit antimosquito serum. Chromosome analyses indicated Lepidopteran rather than Dipteran morphology, and three isozyme
systems were confirmative. Any one of these assays would be sufficient to indicate that contamination had occurred and could
be used as a periodic check for identity of cell cultures. Morphology and growth characteristics are also valid criteria to
distinguish between these particular orders of insect cells.

The DNA:histone ratios have been determined by quantitative cytochemical analyses of individual cells in populations of human lymphocytic cells derived in continuous culture from the peripheral blood buffy coats of patients with acute leukemia or infectious mononucleosis. These populations of lymphocytic cells were quite similar with respect to the Feulgen-DNA and protein content per cell. The close association between DNA and histone was reflected in their similar patterns of distribution in fixed and stained cells; and further evidenced by similarities in the DNA: histone ratios characteristic of these different populations of lymphocytic cells. — Chemical acetylation and methylation of nuclear proteins of these cell populations exhibited some quantitative differences. The chemically acetylated histone content was less, and chemically methylated histone content was greater in cells derived from acute leukemia or infectious mononucleosis than in normal human lymphocytes. These quantitative differences in chemical acetylation and methylation may contribute to specific structural alterations in these histones which modify their functional capacity with respect to interactions with DNA. Such alterations may relate to differences in gene expression as reflected, for example, by the biological and biochemical differences among these human lymphocytic cells.These studies were supported in part by research grants C-6516 from the National Cancer Institute and FR-05526 from the Division of Research Facilities and Resources, National Institutes of Health.Holds Research Career Award K6-CA-22,150 from the National Cancer Institute, National Institutes of Health. 相似文献

Summary Heparin-binding growth factor 1 (HBGF-1), also known as acidic fibroblast growth factor, is a potent mitogen and angiogenic
factor found in tissues such as brain, kidney and heart. The genomic and cDNA sequences indicate that HBGF-1 does not have
a typical signal peptide sequence. HBGF-1 was shown to be localized to the extracellular matrix of cardiac myocytes, but the
mechanism of secretion is not presently known. We have cloned the HBGF-1 cDNA which allowed us to directly test the biological
activity, mechanism of secretion and transforming potential of the recombinant protein. A previous report showed that the
truncated HBGF-1 confers partial transformed phenotype to the recipient fibroblasts. However, expression of full-length HBGF-1
has not been reported. The HBGF-1 coding sequence was cloned into the retroviral expression vector, SVX, and transfected into
NIH/3T3 cells. Transfectants expressing full-length HBGF-1 protein at high levels form foci and grow to a higher cell density
than the parental NIH/3T3 cells. Western blotting analysis showed that the recombinant HBGF-1 is a unique band of approximately
20 kDa and can be detected in the cell homogenate but not in the conditioned medium. NIH/3T3 cells were conferred anchorage
independence when HBGF-1 was provided exogenously. We showed the transformed cells are capable of growing on soft agar even
in the absence of exogenously-provided HBGF-1. Transfected cells expressing HBGF-1 also induced tumor formation when injected
into nude mice. Thus, NIH/3T3 cells acquired a full spectrum of transformed phenotype when full length HBGF-1 was expressed
at high levels.

Summary Bovine herpesvirus-1 infection in hamster embryo cells was found to be dependent upon input multiplicity; productive infection
was achieved at input multiplicities greater than one, while persistent infection was established when input multiplicities
were about 0.5. This persistence was characterized by a noncyclic, minimal degree of cytopathic effect with a low level of
released virus. Maintenance of the persistently infected cultures did not require external supportive measures. Subcultivation
of the persistently infected cultures led to virus replication followed by CPE and then cell regrowth. Within 3 to 4 weeks
after subcultivation a persistent infection was re-established. The possible mechanism for the bovine herpesvirus persistence
in hamster cells is discussed.

In this note the explicit solution is given to an equation, suggested by C. N. Hinshelwood (1946), describing the growth of
a bacterial population under the assumption that toxic products are a limiting factor. The behavior of the culture as a function
of time and the parameters (initial number, rate of growth, and rate of production of toxic substance) is discussed.

Summary Antisera produced to mammary adipose cells from midpregnant BALB/c females can be used to distinguish mammary adipose cells
from mammary epithelial cells and fibroblast. The mammary adipose membrane antigen detected by indirect immunofluorescence
was found in adipose cells from (a) mammary glands of virgin, midpregnant and lactating mice; (b) mammary fat pads that had
been surgically cleared of glandular elements; and (c) epididymis. In all tissues, this cell-surface antigen was removed by
the enzymatic action used to dissociate the cells from the tissues and was shown to be fully restored when cells were cultured
for 48 hr.

A new RNA synthesis mutant of E. coli 总被引:6,自引:0,他引:6
David Patterson Mark Weinstein Sergio Marshall David Gillespie 《Biochemical genetics》1971,5(6):563-578
A temperature-sensitive mutant of E. coli is described. At the nonpermissive temperature, the capacity for RNA and protein synthesis decreases logarithmically in the mutant. The mutant is unable to support the growth of f2 or T7 virus, even at the permissive temperature. The temperature-sensitive mutation maps approximately 1 away from rif
r in E. coli and therefore affects a gene previously undescribed. The temperature sensitivity is suppressed by sublethal concentrations of rifampicin. Moreover, in rif
r Ts double mutants, the T
s mutation suppresses rif
r and vice versa. The partially purified RNA polymerases from mutant and wild-type cells have different temperature and salt optima.This research was supported by Public Health Service grant GM-14368 from the National Institute of General Medical Sciences and by grant IN-29 from the American Cancer Society.

Use of a low-speed,iso-density percoll centrifugation method to increase the viability of isolated rat hepatocyte preparations 总被引:23,自引:0,他引:23

Summary A simple yet effective method (iso-density percoll centrifugation) has been developed for consistently preparing isolated
rat liver parenchymal cells with over 98% initial viability. The method has been applied to cells isolated by a variety of
collagenase digestion techniques. This procedure involves the low-speed centrifugation (50 ×g) of the initial cell suspension through a percoll medium having a density of 1.06 g/ml and results in the separation of single
and viable parenchymal cells from cell aggregates, debris, and nonparenchymal cells. The enriched parenchymal cells have been
shown to be superior to untreated cells by a number of criteria including: preparation homogeneity, cell morphology, maintenance
of cytochrome P-450, hormonal responsiveness (measured by the induction of tyrosine aminotransferase after treatment with
glucagon or dexamethasone, or both), plasma membrane integrity (determined by both trypan blue exclusion and leakage of glutamic-oxaloacetic
transaminase), and the DNA repair capability after treatment with benzo[a]pyrene or 2-acetylaminofluorene.

Established cell lines are invaluable for studying cell and molecular biological questions. A variety of human ovarian cancer
(OC) cell lines exist, however, most have acquired significant genetic alterations from their cells of origin, including deletion
of important cell cycle regulatory genes. In order to analyze signaling events related to cell cycle control in human OC,
we have modified existing protocols for isolating and culturing OC cells from patient ascites fluid and normal ovarian surface
epithelial (OSE) cells from benign ovarian tissue sections. These cells maintain an epithelial phenotype and can be manipulated
experimentally for several passages before cellular senescence. An example using TGF1 treatment of OC cells to examine signaling
and target gene activation is presented.
