Detection of Proliferating Cell Nuclear Antigen in Tissues of Three Small Fish Species

An immunohistochemical assay for proliferating cell nuclear antigen (PCNA) identifies cells in all active phases of the cell cycle. In this study, PCNA methodology, which was developed primarily for mammalian tissues, was adapted to three small fish species, medaka (Ory-zias latipes), guppy (Poecilia reticulata), and western mosquitofish (Gambusia affiinis) that are used in carcinogenesis bioassays and environmental sentinel studies. Our study showed that PCNA can be identified in routinely processed, paraffin embedded specimens of these fishes. Optimum staining conditions were dependent on fixative, primary antibody, antigen retrieval processing. and protein blocking reagent. Best results were achieved using 10% neutral buffered formalin as the fixative, clone PC10 as the primary antibody, and a combination of powdered milk and bovine serum albumin as a protein block. Except for medaka specimens, antigen retrieval was not required for specimens preserved in 10% neutral buffered formalin. but was required for the other fixatives tested. In whole fish specimens, PCNA marked cells in normally proliferating tissues such as testis. ovary, primary filament epithelium of the gill, hematopoietic tissues, thymus, retina and alimentary tract. The study demonstrated the successful application of mammalian-based PCNA technology to these aquatic species. Further applications of the assay will aid in understanding the role of cell proliferation in normal, diseased, and toxicant-affected tissues of aquatic animals.

Tissue Fixation for Immunohistochemical Detection of Proliferating Cell Nuclear Antigen with PC10 Monoclonal Antibody

PC10 is a monoclonal antibody to proliferating cell nuclear antigen, a nuclear protein associated with the cell cycle. We have evaluated the effects of tissue fixation on PC10 immunoreactivity in sections of paraffin embedded rat tissues. Immunoreactivity was well preserved in tissues after fixation with alcohol-based solutions for 3-24 hr. Fewer PC10-positive cells were detectable in samples fixed with formaldehydecontaining solutions compared with samples fixed with alcohol for the same time. Loss of PC10 immunoreactivity in formaldehyde fixed tissues was progressive, and quantifiable as early as after 3 hr fixation. Consequently, alcohol-based fixatives are strongly recommended for any immunocytochemical prospective study using PC10 antibody. In contrast, loss of PC10-immunoreactivity is always predictable, but difficult to quantitate, using formaldehyde fixed specimens. This aspect should be considered when using PC10 antibody in retrospective studies with routinely-processed archival material.

Intrinsic Flexibility of Ubiquitin on Proliferating Cell Nuclear Antigen (PCNA) in Translesion Synthesis

Ubiquitin conjugation provides a crucial signaling role in hundreds of cellular pathways; however, a structural understanding of ubiquitinated substrates is lacking. One important substrate is monoubiquitinated PCNA (PCNA-Ub), which signals for recruitment of damage-tolerant polymerases in the translesion synthesis (TLS) pathway of DNA damage avoidance. We use a novel and efficient enzymatic method to produce PCNA-Ub at high yield with a native isopeptide bond and study its Usp1/UAF1-dependent deconjugation. In solution we find that the ubiquitin moiety is flexible relative to the PCNA, with its hydrophobic patch mostly accessible for recruitment of TLS polymerases, which promotes the interaction with polymerase η. The studies are a prototype for the nature of the ubiquitin modification.     

Butyrate inhibits proliferation-induced Proliferating Cell Nuclear Antigen expression (PCNA) in rat vascular smooth muscle cells

Arterial injury-induced vascular smooth muscle cell (VSMC) proliferation in intima is the important etiologic factor in vascular proliferative disorders such as atherosclerosis, hypertension and restenosis after balloon angioplasty. Butyrate, a naturally occurring short chain fatty acid, is produced by bacterial fermentation of dietary fiber and by mammary glands of certain mammals. Studies have shown that butyrate at millimolar concentrations, which are physiological, induces growth arrest, differentiation and apoptosis. We examined the effect of physiological concentrations of butyrate on rat VSMC proliferation and proliferation-induced PCNA expression to determine anti-atherogenic potential of butyrate. Butyrate concentrations, closer to physiological range, exhibited antiproliferative effects on both serum-induced proliferation of serum-starved quiescent VSMCs and actively proliferating non-confluent VSMCs. Treatment of serum-starved quiescent VSMCs with 1-8 mmol/l concentration of butyrate caused a concentration-dependent decrease in serum-induced VSMC proliferation and cell proliferation-associated increase in total cellular proteins and RNA levels. Similarly, exposure of actively growing VSMCs to 5 mmol/l butyrate resulted in the inhibition of cell proliferation and proliferation-induced increase in cellular proteins and RNA levels. Furthermore, cellular morphology was significantly altered. Analysis of cell cycle regulatory proteins indicated that levels of PCNA, an excellent marker for cell proliferation, was significantly altered by butyrate both in actively proliferating and serum-induced quiescent VSMCs. These observations suggest that butyrate exhibits potential antiatherogenic capability by inhibiting VSMC proliferation and proliferation-associated increase in PCNA expression and thus merits further investigations regarding therapeutic significance of butyrate in vascular proliferative disorders.     

The growth and nutrient utilization of the insect cell line Spodoptera frugiperda Sf9 in batch and continuous culture

The growth of the Spodoptera frugiperda cell line Sf9 was studied in batch and continuous culture. The results of batch cultivations showed that glucose was the preferred energy and carbon source limiting the cell density in both TNM-FH and IPL-41 media. Continuous culture using IPL-41-based feeding medium with different glucose (2.5, 5 and 10 g l⁻¹) and yeast extract concentrations (4, 8 and 16 g l⁻¹) showed that in serum-supplemented medium the maximum cell density was limited by glucose and yeast extract concentration. The transition to glucose limitation caused a decrease in growth rate and viability. A high cell density culture (18 × 10⁶ ml⁻¹) was obtained using a glucose concentration of 10 g l⁻¹ and a yeast extract concentration of 8 g l⁻¹ in the feeding medium. A yeast extract concentration of 16 g l⁻¹ inhibited growth. Unlike mammalian cell cultures, lactate, alanine and ammonia were not involved in growth inhibition. Lactate did not accumulate under aerobic conditions. Ammonia accumulation, if observed, was insignificant. The level of alanine synthesized and excreted into the culture medium never reached an inhibitory level. During glucose limitation alanine did not accumulate and ammonia was released. However, even in the presence of glucose significant amounts of Asp, Glu, Gln, Asn, Ser, Arg and Met were utilized for energy production. The amino groups of these amino acids were transferred to pyruvate or used for nucleic acid synthesis and excreted in the form of alanine into the culture medium. The consumption of His, Lys, Thr, Gly, Val, Leu, Phe, Tyr, Trp and Ile by growing Sf-9 cells was almost equal to their concentration in the biomass.
