Measles virus (Edmonston strain B), in various multiplicities of infection, was added to human lymphocytes which were cultured in medium containing fetal bovine serum. Live measles virus was found to cause an almost complete inhibition of [3H]-thymidine incorporation in lymphocytes cultured in the presence of phytohemagglutinin, pokeweed mitogen, tuberculin purified protein derivate (PPD), or allogeneic lymphocytes. Analysis of cell size in the lymphocyte cultures revealed that blast transformation was inhibited as well. Measles virus, inactivated by heat or ultraviolet irradiation, did not cause inhibition. The inhibitory effect of measles virus was only measurable in the initial stages of culture; when added later, i.e., 24 hr before measuring [3H]-thymidine incorporation, it had no effect. The diminished reactivity of measles virus-infected lymphocytes cannot be explained by cytopathologic effects or by altered kinetics of lymphocyte transformation. When lymphocytes were cultured at 39 °C the extent of virus-induced suppression was significantly reduced. Very small amounts of pooled normal human serum, as well as IgG, prepared from the serum of a patient with subacute sclerosing panencephalitis, were able to prevent the inhibitory effect of measles virus. 相似文献

Characteristics of the action of prolactin on [3H]-thymidine incorporation into DNA in mammary gland explants from virgin mice 总被引:1,自引:0,他引:1
The prolactin stimulation of the rate of [3H]-thymidine incorporation into DNA in mammary gland explants from virgin C3H mice was studied. The onset of this effect occurred between one and two days after adding prolactin to the culture medium. Prolactin effected an enhanced rate of [3H]-thymidine incorporation at all concentrations from 10 ng/ml to 10 micrograms/ml. The response is essentially an "all or none" phenomenon since the effect at 10 ng/ml was not different from that at 10 micrograms/ml. Hydrocortisone was not essential from the prolactin response, but it did significantly increase the basal rate of [3H]-thymidine incorporation. Both quinacrine (an inhibitor of phospholipase A2 activity) and indomethacin (an inhibitor of prostaglandin biosynthesis) abolished the action of prolactin on [3H]-thymidine incorporation into DNA. 相似文献

Comparative aspects of in vitro proliferation of human and porcine lymphocytes exposed to mycotoxins
Taranu I Marina DE Burlacu R Pinton P Damian V Oswald IP 《Archives of animal nutrition》2010,64(5):383-393
Mycotoxins are fungal secondary metabolites that elicit a wide spectrum of toxicological effects, including the alteration of normal immune function. In the present study we investigated the independent effect of four mycotoxins, aflatoxin B1 (AFB1), fumonisin B1 (FB1), deoxynivalenol (DON) and nivalenol (NIV), on lymphocyte proliferation using human and porcine lymphocytes. Human and porcine peripheral blood mononuclear cells and porcine splenocytes were cultured with increasing concentrations of mycotoxins for 72 hours and labelled in the last 24 hours with [methyl-3H]-thymidine. The results showed that increased concentrations of AFB1, DON and NIV affected the [methyl-3H]-thymidine cellular proliferation following mitogen stimulation in both species and cell types. Lower concentrations of mycotoxins enhanced cellular proliferation, which was more pronounced in human than in porcine cells, while higher concentrations caused a dose-dependent decrease. DON and NIV were the most potent mycotoxin in both species and both cell types. Based on the results of this in vitro study, high correlations were found between proliferation of human and porcine lymphocytes after mycotoxin exposure, especially for DON and NIV. 相似文献

The effects of a long-acting somatostatin analog SMS 201-995 injections on the basal and angiotensin II-stimulated [3H]-thymidine uptake by the rat adrenal glands incubated in vitro were examined. It was shown that SMS 201-995 significantly inhibited the [3H]-thymidine uptake and, additionally, suppressed the stimulatory effect of a single angiotensin II injection. 相似文献

Genistein, a soy isoflavone, is reported to exert significant beneficial action in several human disorders, which has generated immense interest in the mechanisms underlying its effects on diverse cellular processes. It has anti-proliferative action on many cell types, an effect generally attributed to tyrosine kinase inhibition. In this study, genistein was found to cause total inhibition of [3H]-thymidine incorporation into DNA and a modest reduction in [3H]-proline incorporation into protein in primary cultures of cardiac fibroblasts. The decrease in [3H]-thymidine incorporation was not associated with a decrease in cell proliferation but correlated exactly with low intracellular levels of [3H]-thymidine. Genistein dramatically reduced [3H]-thymidine but not [3H]-proline uptake by these cells in which the equilibrative nucleoside transporter may be the major route of nucleoside uptake. The effect was irreversible and was demonstrable in pulmonary fibroblasts as well. The findings suggest that nucleoside uptake mechanisms may be a novel target of genistein action in cardiac fibroblasts and point to serious limitations in using genistein to assess the role of tyrosine kinase in cell proliferation by the standard technique of [3H]-thymidine incorporation. 相似文献

Agrobacterium tumefaciens has been shown to affect the proliferation of intact lymphocytes as well as lymphocytes stimulated by PHA action. Inoculation of bacteria into the cultures of intact lymphocytes and incubation during 72 h resulted in increased incorporation of [3H]-thymidine into the DNA of cultivated cells. The bacteria are capable of inhibition of lymphocytes proliferation stimulated by PHA. 相似文献

Increased uptake of thymidine in the activation of sea urchin eggs. III. Effects of aphidicolin 总被引:3,自引:0,他引:3
Uptake and phosphorylation of externally supplied [3H]-thymidine are fully stimulated in fertilized sea urchin eggs exposed to 5.0 micrograms/ml aphidicolin. As in untreated controls, the rate of uptake in aphidicolin-treated eggs increases greater than 50-fold shortly after fertilization, and greater than 85% of the transported thymidine is immediately phosphorylated to the triphosphate. The intracellular levels of [3H]-thymidine triphosphate (3H-dTTP) resulting from an external supply of [3H]-thymidine is therefore equal in aphidicolin-treated and untreated fertilized eggs. Under the same experimental conditions, the incorporation of externally supplied [3H]-thymidine into newly synthesized DNA of fertilized eggs is 90% inhibited by exposure to aphidicolin. The full availability of 3H-dTTP in these eggs further suggests that aphidicolin inhibits specifically at the level of DNA synthesis. This inhibitory effect is proportional to the concentration of aphidicolin between 0 and 5.0 micrograms/ml. In the continuous presence of 5.0 micrograms/ml aphidicolin, fertilized eggs fail to undergo mitotic chromosome condensation, nuclear envelope breakdown, and cytokinesis, suggesting a dependent link between these processes and the completion of nuclear DNA synthesis. 相似文献

Regulation of neuroblast proliferation by hormones and growth factors in chemically defined medium 总被引:6,自引:0,他引:6
Pure neuronal cultures prepared from 6-day-old embryonic chick brains incorporated [3H]-thymidine in serum-free medium up to the 4th day in culture. The addition of insulin any time within this culture period caused an increase in thymidine incorporation. This increase in [3H]-thymidine was correlated with an increase in cell number and percentage of labeling index. Triiodothyronine and endothelial cell growth factor were also active in stimulating [3H]-thymidine incorporation into chick neuroblasts. The effect of these trophic agents is unique since a variety of known mitogens tested were negative. 相似文献

Bacterial endotoxin induced a 38% decrease in the number of beta-adrenergic binding sites (Bmax) on splenic lymphocytes, four days after intraperitoneal administration to guinea pigs. No change in the affinity (Kd) for [125-I]-cyanopindolol ([125-I]-CYP) binding was observed. Incubation of guinea pig splenocytes in vitro with different concentrations of bacterial endotoxin for 24 hours resulted in an increased incorporation of [3H]-thymidine, a parameter for lymphocyte activation. Activation of splenic lymphocytes with the optimal endotoxin concentration of 100 micrograms/ml for 24 hours induced a 27% decrease in the Bmax whereas the Kd for [125-I]-CYP binding was not changed. Based on these findings, we speculate that activation of lymphocytes with endotoxin in vitro and in vivo is associated with a reduction in the number of beta-adrenergic binding sites on these cells. Anterior hypothalamic (AHA) lesions protected against the endotoxin-induced reduction in the number of beta-adrenergic binding sites on lymphocytes. The protective effect of these lesions could not be related to alterations in the plasma levels of cortisol, triiodothyronine (T3), thyroxine (T4), adrenaline and noradrenaline or to splenic noradrenaline content. Since AHA lesions have been shown to inhibit several lymphocyte functions, it is suggested that these lesions prevent lymphocyte activation after in vivo endotoxin administration and through this abrogate the reduction of the beta-adrenergic binding sites. 相似文献

Optimal conditions for proliferation of bone marrow-derived mouse macrophages in culture: the roles of CSF-1, serum, Ca2+, and adherence 总被引:5,自引:0,他引:5
A method is described for the analysis of [3H]-thymidine incorporation in microtitre cultures of bone marrow-derived mouse macrophage responding to macrophage colony-stimulating factor (CSF-1). [3H]-thymidine incorporation depends on cell density, culture medium, and the concentration of CSF-1 and serum, but is independent of Ca2+. Bone marrow-derived macrophages are strongly adherent, but adherence can be dissociated from [3H]-thymidine incorporation. 相似文献

Human peripheral blood monocytes, which have been considered to be non-dividing cells, were induced to proliferate in vitro by soluble mediator(s) from lectin-activated human lymphocytes. The lectin-induced factor from lymphocytes increased both the number of nuclei of cultured monocytes and [3H]-thymidine incorporation into the monocytes. The molecular weights of the soluble factor(s) that promote growth of monocytes were in the range of 20,000-70,000 daltons with two peaks. 相似文献

The effect of cortisol on the proliferation of the rainbow trout fibroblast cell line, RTG-2, was examined in synchronous and asynchronous cultures. When the transition from G1 to S was synchronized by restoring serum to serum-deprived cultures, the addition of cortisol at the time of serum restoration delayed the entry of cells into S phase. However, if cortisol was added 24 h after serum restoration, at the G1/S transition point, the subsequent peak of DNA synthesis was unaffected. In asynchronous cultures cortisol inhibited [3H]-thymidine and [3H]-uridine but not [3H]-leucine incorporation into acid-insoluble material. If the exogenous nucleoside concentration was raised, [3H]-thymidine but not [3H]-uridine incorporation continued to be inhibited by cortisol. This suggested that cortisol's effect on [3H]-thymidine incorporation reflected a change in entry into S phase and not just on thymidine uptake and metabolism. Cortisol inhibited the proliferation of RTG-2 in asynchronous cultures. At 1000 ng/ml of cortisol a reduction in cell number became apparent before the RTG-2 cultures were confluent, whereas at 100 ng/ml the reduction only became evident in confluent cultures. The synthetic antiglucocorticoid, RU 486, which acts at the level of the corticosteroid receptor, blocked the growth inhibition by cortisol. These results suggest that cortisol regulates rainbow trout fibroblast proliferation via the corticosteroid receptor and that the G1/S transition is one point at which this regulation occurs. 相似文献

[3H]-thymidine is commonly used to analyze the accumulation of [3H]-labeled chromatin fragments in cells undergoing apoptosis. This study shows that [3H]-thymidine incorporation within DNA is sufficient per se to inhibit growth and to induce apoptosis in canine kidney epithelial cells and porcine aorta endothelial cells. Despite high-level [3H]-thymidine-DNA labeling, rat vascular smooth muscle cells (VSMC) showed only modest inhibition of growth and induction of apoptosis compared to other cell types. Similarly to serum deprivation, apoptosis triggered by [3H]-thymidine labeling was sharply potentiated by VSMC transfection with a functional analogue of c-myc, E1A-adenoviral protein (VSMC-E1A), and was suppressed by stimulation of cAMP signaling with forskolin as well as by and Na/K pump inhibition with ouabain. Both apoptosis induction and growth suppression seen in [3H]-thymidine-treated VSMC-E1A were reduced by the pan-caspase inhibitor z-VAD.fmk. Thus, our results show that the differential efficiency of the apoptotic machinery determines cell type-specific attenuation of growth in cells with [3H]-thymidine-labeled DNA. They also demonstrate that [3H]-thymidine-treated and serum-deprived VSMC employ common intermediates of the apoptotic machinery, including steps that are potentiated by E1A-adenoviral protein and inhibited by activation of cAMP signaling as well as by inversion of the intracellular [Na+]

Effects of Cl- channel blockers on endothelin-1-induced proliferation of rat vascular smooth muscle cells 总被引:4,自引:0,他引:4
The effects of Cl- channel blockers on endothelin-1 (ET-1)-induced proliferation of rat aortic vascular smooth muscle cells (VSMC) were examined. We found ET-1 concentration-dependently increased cell count and [3H]-thymidine incorporation into VSMC, with EC50 values of 24.8 and 11.4 nM, respectively. Both nifedipine and SK&F96365 inhibited 10 nM ET-1-induced [3H]-thymidine incorporation into VSMC with the maximal inhibitory concentrations of 1 and 10 microM, respectively. DIDS inhibited 10 nM ET-1-induced increase in cell count and [3H]-thymidine incorporation into VSMC in a concentration-dependent manner, whereas other Cl- channel blockers including IAA-94, NPPB, DPC, SITS and furosemide did not produce these effects. 3 microM DIDS reduced 10 nM ET-1-induced sustained increase in cytoplasmic Ca2+ concentration ([Ca2+]) by 52%. Pretreatment of VSMC with 1 microM nifedipine completely inhibited the DIDS effect on 10 nM ET-1-induced [3H]-thymidine incorporation into VSMC and sustained increase in [Ca2+]i, whereas pretreatment with 10 microM SK&F96365 did not completely block these effects of DIDS. DIDS did not affect ET-1-induced Ca2+ release and 30 mM KCl-induced increase in [Ca2+]i. Our data suggest that DIDS-sensitive Cl- channels mediate VSMC proliferation induced by ET-1 by mechanisms related to membrane depolarization and Ca2+ influx through voltage-dependent Ca2+ channels. 相似文献

The peptide, endothelin-1 (ET-1) regulates proliferative responses in numerous cell types. Recently, a dual ET receptor antagonist was shown to prevent the increase in airway smooth muscle cell (SMC) proliferation that accompanies airway smooth muscle remodeling in a rat model of experimental asthma. Thus, we used [(3)H]-thymidine incorporation assays and western immunoblotting to identify signaling pathways that regulate proliferative responses in cultured rat tracheal SMC. Our data indicate that ET-1 activation of the ET A receptor subtype induced [(3)H]-thymidine incorporation and activation of ERK 1/2 in primary rat tracheal SMC. ET-1-induced [(3)H]-thymidine incorporation and activation of ERK 1/2 were inhibited by pretreatment of SMC with pertussis toxin or down regulation of phorbol ester responsive isoforms of PKC. While ET- 1-induced ERK 1/2 activation was unaffected following inhibition of Rho kinase, ET-1-induced [(3)H]-thymidine incorporation was abrogated. ET-1 also potentiated [(3)H]-thymidine incorporation as well as cell proliferation of SMC stimulated with PDGF-BB and this response did not appear to be regulated by ERK1/ 2. These data demonstrate that ET-1 induces activation of multiple G proteins that regulate rat tracheal SMC proliferative responses, likely through signaling pathways downstream of ERK1/2 and Rho kinase. 相似文献

Replenishment of medium after 72 hr of growth of HeLa-S3 cells in dense suspension cultures increased [3H]-thymidine uptake into cells and incorporation into DNA, with the levels reaching a peak ~ 12 hr following medium change; β interferon inhibits the enhanced uptake of [3H]-thymidine and labeling of DNA in a dose-dependent manner. Some reduction in these processes is observed at a concentration as low as 1 u/ml, and ~ 75% inhibition at 640 u/ml. Kinetic analysis has revealed that the rate of labeling of the acid-soluble pool with [3H]-thymidine, measured either at 22°C, or 37°C, is reduced in interferon-treated (640 u/ml, 24 hr) HeLa-S3 cells. At 22°C, the initial rate of thymidine transport at a high (500 μM) thymidine concentration, determined within the first 30 sec of [3H]-thymidine addition was depressed by 44% in interferon-treated HeLa cells. At 37°C, labeled precursors accumulate in acid-soluble material for ~ 8 min after the addition of [3H]-thymidine, after which an apparent equilibrium level is attained. At this temperature, the rate of thymidine uptake and the apparent equilibrium level attained were depressed by 70% in interferon-treated HeLa cells. The reduced incorporation of [3H]-thymidine into DNA in interferon-treated HeLa-S3 cells can be largely explained by interferon inhibition of thymidine transport and phosphorylation. 相似文献

Background
Inhibition of vascular smooth muscle cell (vSMC) proliferation by oral anti-hyperglycemic agents may have a role to play in the amelioration of vascular disease in diabetes. Thiazolidinediones (TZDs) inhibit vSMC proliferation but it has been reported that they anomalously stimulate [3H]-thymidine incorporation. We investigated three TZDs, two biguanides and two sulfonylureas for their ability of inhibit vSMC proliferation. People with diabetes obviously have fluctuating blood glucose levels thus we determined the effect of media glucose concentration on the inhibitory activity of TZDs in a vSMC preparation that grew considerably more rapidly under high glucose conditions. We further explored the mechanisms by which TZDs increase [3H]-thymidine incorporation.Methods
VSMC proliferation was investigated by [3H]-thymidine incorporation into DNA and cell counting. Activation and inhibition of thymidine kinase utilized short term [3H]-thymidine uptake. Cell cycle events were analyzed by FACS.Results
VSMC cells grown for 3 days in DMEM with 5% fetal calf serum under low (5 mM glucose) and high (25 mM glucose) increased in number by 2.5 and 4.7 fold, respectively. Rosiglitazone and pioglitazone showed modest but statistically significantly greater inhibitory activity under high versus low glucose conditions (P < 0.05 and P < 0.001, respectively). We confirmed an earlier report that troglitazone (at low concentrations) causes enhanced incorporation of [3H]-thymidine into DNA but did not increase cell numbers. Troglitazone inhibited serum mediated thymidine kinase induction in a concentration dependent manner. FACS analysis showed that troglitazone and rosiglitazone but not pioglitazone placed a slightly higher percentage of cells in the S phase of a growing culture. Of the biguanides, metformin had no effect on proliferation assessed as [3H]-thymidine incorporation or cell numbers whereas phenformin was inhibitory in both assays albeit at high concentrations. The sulfonylureas chlorpropamide and gliclazide had no inhibitory effect on vSMC proliferation assessed by either [3H]-thymidine incorporation or cell numbers.Conclusion
TZDs but not sulfonylureas nor biguanides (except phenformin at high concentrations) show favorable vascular actions assessed as inhibition of vSMC proliferation. The activity of rosiglitazone and pioglitazone is enhanced under high glucose conditions. These data provide further in vitro evidence for the potential efficacy of TZDs in preventing multiple cardiovascular diseases. However, the plethora of potentially beneficial actions of TZDs in cell and animal models have not been reflected in the results of major clinical trials and a greater understanding of these complex drugs is required to delineate their ultimate clinical utility in preventing macrovascular disease in diabetes. 相似文献19.
Phosphofructokinase activity increased dramatically in cultured mouse spleen lymphocytes 8 hours after concanavalin A stimulation and preceded the onset of DNA synthesis by 8 hours. The increase in enzyme activity and [3H]-thymidine incorporation were mitogen-concentration dependent. Enzyme activity increased 12-fold over control level at 48 hours when DNA synthesis peaked. The protein synthesis inhibitor, cycloheximide, blocked the rise in phosphofructokinase only when given prior to the increase in enzyme activity. Once the increase began, later addition of cycloheximide became progressively less inhibitory. These observations suggest that the period of increase in phosphofructokinase activity involves the activation of preexisting enzyme molecules. 相似文献

In the present study we describe the induction of changes in intracellular fluorescein fluorescence polarization (IFFP) in lymphocytes undergoing activation with a variety of stimulants. These stimulants included the lectins phytohaemagglutinin (PHA), concanavalin (ConA), pokeweed mitogen (PWM) and anti-CD3 antibody. Changes in IFFP were detected in individual cells using the Cellscan apparatus. Our results show that by employing mitogenic concentrations of PHA, as revealed in a [3H]-thymidine incorporation assay, a decrease in the IFFP in human peripheral blood lymphocytes (PBL) occurred within 40 min. ConA and anti-CD3 affected similarly IFFP, whereas PWM, a B lymphocyte lectin, had no effect on IFFP at the concentrations employed. Kinetic analysis revealed that changes in IFFP occurred within 20–40 min after exposure to the stimulants and lasted for 24 h. Our results show that stimulants which activate CD3+ lymphocytes caused immediate changes in IFFP, in an enriched population of human PBL. The possible mechanisms involved in IFFP modulation following exposure to selected stimulants are discussed. 相似文献
