Most of the hybrid clones derived from a cross of Chinese hamster fibroblasts (DON) with rat hepatoma cells (Faza 967) showed preferential loss of rat chromosomes. Two of the hybrid clones retained the rat chromosomes, and both showed extinction of 4 liver-specific enzymes: aldolase B, liver alcohol dehydrogenase, and the inducible enzymes tyrosine aminotransferase and alanine aminotransferase. Subcloning of 1 of these hybrids, which contained 2 sets of hepatoma chromosomes and 1 set of hamster chromosomes, permitted the isolation of some clones which reexpressed 1 or more of the liver-specific enzymes. Liver alcohol dehydrogenase was the most frequently reexpressed enzyme and aldolase B the least. Tyrosine aminotransferase inducibility was reexpressed independently of basal activity, and the enzyme produced by the reexpressing hybrid cells was precipitated by a specific antiserum. No correlation was detected between the presence or absence of the marker chromosomes (large metacentrics) of the hamster parent and the extinction and reexpression of the hepatic enzymes. The results reported confirm and extend to interspecific hybrids the observation of the stable and independent reexpression of tissue-specific enzymes.  相似文献

We have produced somatic cell hybrids between totipotent mouse teratocarcinoma cells and rat hepatoma cells. These hybrids were tested for the expression of liver specific functions expressed in the hepatoma cell parent and for their ability to differentiate when injected into nude mice. The results of this study indicate that hybrid cell clones do not resemble either of the parental cells, since they do not produce albumin and tyrosine aminotransferase that are expressed in the rat hepatoma parent, and are incapable of forming either teratocarcinomas or hepatomas when injected in experimental animals.  相似文献

The production of four liver-specific enzymes (tyrosine aminotransferase or TAT, alanine aminotransferase, aldolase B, and alcohol dehydrogenase) has been analyzed in rat hepatoma-mouse lymphoid cell hybrids containing a 1s or 2s complement of rat chromosomes. The hybrid clones which retain a nearly 2s complement of rat chromosomes show high activity of all four enzymes; those which contain a 1s rat complement show partial or complete extinction of these enzymes. The tyrosine aminotransferase produced by most of the hybrid clones is identifiable as being of both rat and mouse origin, based upon criteria of temperature sensitivity and electrophoretic mobility; antiserum to the rat liver enzyme was used to distinguish the pseudo-TAT produced by the lymphoid parent from liver-TAT produced by hepatoma and hybrid cells. By the criteron of electrophoretic mobility, the liver form (B) of aldolase, produced by only some of the hybrid clones, appears to be composed of both rat and mouse subunits. We conclude that when extinction of tissue-specific proteins does not occur or is only partial in hybrid cells (due to gene dosage effects), the genomes of both parents may be active in directing synthesis of these proteins.  相似文献

The re-expression of aldolase B (EC 4.1.2.13, previously referred to as EC 4.1.2.7) has been detected in subclones of a somatic hybrid between rat hepatoma cells and non-malignant diploid epithelial rat cells. Re-expression has been observed (a) in vitro , in two independent subclones, both characterized by chromosome numbers only slightly greater than the hepatoma parental cells, and (b) in vivo , in 23 out of 27 tumours obtained by injection of segregated as well as non-segregated hybrid clones. Only the latter gave rise to tumours with significantly reduced chromosome numbers. Re-expression of aldolase B in vitro is correlated with chromosome loss; in vivo , the same correlation appears to exist, but in some cases the data are merely suggestive.  相似文献

Expression of the serum albumin gene is extinguished in rat hepatoma microcell hybrids that retain mouse chromosome 1. These data define atrans-dominant extinguisher locus,Tse-2,on mouse chromosome 1. To localize the human TSE2 locus, we prepared and characterized rat/human microcell hybrids that contained either human chromosome 1 or chromosome 2, the genetic homologues of mouse chromosome 1. Rat hepatoma microcell hybrids retaining a derivative human chromosome 1 [der 1 t(1;17)(p34.3;q11.2)] expressed their serum albumin genes at levels similar to those of parental hepatoma cells. In contrast, microcell transfer of human chromosome 2 into rat hepatoma recipients produced karyotypically heterogeneous collections of hybrid clones, some of which displayed dramatic albumin extinction phenotypes. For example, albumin mRNA levels in several extinguished microcell hybrids were reduced at least 500-fold, similar to albumin mRNA levels in hepatoma × fibroblast whole-cell hybrids. Expression of several other liver genes, including α1-antitrypsin, aldolase B, alcohol dehydrogenase, and phosphoenolpyruvate carboxykinase, was also affected in some of the microcell hybrids, but expression of these genes was not concordant with expression of albumin. Hybrid segregants were prepared from the albumin-extinguished hybrids, and reexpression of albumin mRNA and protein was observed in sublines that had lost or fragmented human chromosome 2. Finally, expression of mRNAs encoding the liver-enrichedtransactivators HNF-1, HNF-4, HNF-3α, and HNF-3β was not affected in any of the chromosome 2-containing hybrids. These data define and map a genetic locus on human chromosome 2 that extinguishes albumin gene expression intrans,and they suggest that TSE2-mediated extinction is independent of HNF-1, -4, -3α, and -3β expression.  相似文献

Selective glucose-free media have been used to study the reexpression of liver-specific gluconeogenic enzymes in rat hepatoma X mouse lymphoblastoma somatic hybrids. The utilization for gluconeogenesis of dihydroxyacetone or oxaloacetate requires two enzymes: fructose diphosphatase as well as either triokinase for the former or phosphoenolpyruvate carboxykinase for the latter. By sequential selection with these substrates, the reexpression of the three gluconeogenic enzymes has been dissociated. The reexpression of these enzymes is correlated with the loss of mouse chromosomes. In addition, the characterization of the parental forms of aldolase B, another liver-specific enzyme, shows that reexpression corresponds to the simultaneous production of the rat and mouse enzymes. These results demonstrate the chromosomal origin of extinction and suggest that activation of mouse silent genes which accompanies reexpression can occur without loss of the parental determinations. The hypothesis that determination involves regulatory rather than structural genes is discussed.  相似文献

We have previously identified an Msp I site at the 5′ end of the rat albumin gene whose undermethylation is necessary but not sufficient for stable albumin expression in rat hepatoma cells [1]. We have also shown that the extinction of albumin expression in somatic hybrids is not the result of methylation at this site, since for two different crosses, rapid extinction was found to occur in the absence of any de novo methylation of the previously active gene[2]. In the present study, we examine albumin expression and albumin gene methylation for independent hybrid clones isolated from crosses between albumin expressing rat hepatoma cells and cells of two different non-expressing lines. The cells from hybrid clones of both crosses are characterized by stable extinction of albumin expression. Moreover, we find that de novo methylation of the “extinguished” albumin gene can occur in somatic hybrids, but only some weeks after the gene has ceased to be expressed.  相似文献

Recombination of mammalian mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA) was examined using mouse X rat somatic cell hybrid clones and rat cybrid clones. The mouse X rat hybrids were isolated by fusion of chloramphenicol-sensitive (CAPs) mouse and CAP-resistant (CAPr) rat cells. The rat cybrids were isolated by fusion of rat cells with type B mtDNA and enucleated cells with type A mtDNA. Genetic and physical analyses showed that the mtDNAs of the hybrids and cybrids were simple mixtures of the two parental mtDNAs except in the following two cases: One was subclone H2-9 of mouse X rat hybrids, which was CAPr even though mtDNA from the CAPs mouse parent was predominantly retained. The other was rat cybrid subclones, Y12-24 and -61, which showed specific loss of one Hinf I fragment of type B mtDNA, B10. These observations suggest that, in contrast to the case with plant mtDNA, recombination of mammalian mtDNA occurs rarely, if at all.  相似文献

Somatic hybridization is a potential method for gene transfer from wild relatives to cultivated crops that can overcome sexual incompatibilities of two distantly related species. In this study, interspecific asymmetric somatic hybrids of Brassica oleracea var. botrytis (cauliflower) and Brassica nigra (black mustard) were obtained by protoplast fusion and their backcrossed (BC3) and selfed (S3) offspring were analyzed. Cytological analysis showed that the B. nigra chromosomes were successively eliminated in the backcrosses with cauliflower. The fertility of the hybrid progenies was quite different due to the asynchronous and abnormal chromosome behavior of pollen mother cells (PMC) during meiosis. Analysis of sequence-related amplified polymorphism (SRAP) showed that all of these hybrids mainly had the DNA banding pattern from the two parents with some alterations. Genetically, the selfed generations were closer to B. nigra, while the backcrossed generations were closer to the cauliflower parent. Analysis of cleaved amplified polymorphic sequences (CAPS) and restriction fragment length polymorphisms (RFLP) showed that all somatic hybrids in this study contained chloroplast (cp) DNA of the donor parent black mustard, while mitochondrial (mt) DNA showed evidence of recombination and variations in the regions analyzed. Furthermore, three BC3 plants (originated from somatic hybrids 3, 4, 10) with 2–8 B. nigra-derived chromosomes shown by genomic in situ hybridization (GISH) displayed a more cauliflower-like morphology and high resistance to black-rot. These plants were obtained as bridge materials for further analysis and breeding.  相似文献

Hybrids were generated between mouse hepatoma cells which exhibit a transformed phenotype, and rat normal diploid fibroblasts. Most isolated hybrid clones contain a single set of chromosomes from each parent. Such clones grow to low saturation densities and are unable to grow or to form colonies in soft agar. The transformed phenotype of the parental hepatoma cells is thus suppressed in these hybrids. Suppression is very stable; however, subclones which have regained a transformed phenotype could be selected; these subclones show a significant reduction of their chromosome number. Amongst the hybrid clones isolated after fusion, a few are characterized by an excess of mouse chromosomes and a reduced number of rat chromosomes. Such clones exhibit a transformed phenotype. Our results show that, provided the hybrids contain an almost complete single set of chromosomes of each parent, spontaneous transformation behaves as a recessive trait in hybrids formed with normal diploid cells.  相似文献

alpha-Fetoprotein (AFP), a liver-specific protein, is extinguished in somatic cell hybrids formed by the fusion of mouse hepatoma cells (BWTG3) with rat fibroblast cells (JF1). Our studies show that the extinction of mouse AFP expression in these somatic cell hybrids may involve at least two cis-acting regulatory domains, i.e., the enhancer elements and a tissue-specific promoter region, which are located in the 5'-flanking region of the AFP gene.  相似文献

Summary Sexual and somatic hybrid plants have been produced between Sinapis alba L. (white mustard) and Brassica napus L. (oil-seed rape), with the aim to transfer resistance to the beet cyst nematode Heterodera schachtii Schm. (BCN) from white mustard into the oil-seed rape gene pool. Only crosses between diploid accessions of S. alba (2n = 24, Sa1Sa1) as the pistillate parent and several B. napus accessions (2n = 38, AACC) yielded hybrid plants with 31 chromosomes. Crosses between tetraploid accessions of S. alba (2n = 48, Sa1Sa1Sa1Sa1) and B. napus were unsuccessful. Somatic hybrid plants were also obtained between a diploid accession of S. alba and B. napus. These hybrids were mitotically unstable, the number of chromosomes ranging from 56 to more than 90. Analysis of total DNA using a pea rDNA probe confirmed the hybrid nature of the sexual hybrids, whereas for the somatic hybrids a pattern identical to that of B. napus was obtained. Using chloroplast (cp) and mitochondrial (mt) DNA sequences, we found that all of the sexual F1 hybrids and somatic hybrids contained cpDNA and mtDNA of the S. alba parent. No recombinant mtDNA or cpDNA pattern was observed. Three BC1 plants were obtained when sexual hybrids were back-crossed with B. napus. Backcrossing of somatic hybrids with B. napus was not successful. Three sexual hybrids and one BC1 plant, the latter obtained from a cross between a sexual hybrid and B. napus, were found to show a high level of BCN resistance. The level of BCN resistance of the somatic hybrids was in general high, but varied between cuttings from the same plant. Results from cytological studies of chromosome association at meiotic metaphase I in the sexual hybrids suggest partial homology between chromosomes of the AC and Sa1 genomes and thus their potential for gene exchange.  相似文献

A cross has been performed between dedifferentiated rat hepatoma cells and the differentiated cells from which they were derived. 10 hybrid clones, containing the complete chromosome sets of both parents, show extinction of 4 liver-specific enzymes: tyrosine aminotransferase (E.C. 2.6.1.5), alanine aminotransferase (E.C. 2.6.1.2), and the liver-specific isozymes of alcohol dehydrogenase (E.C. 1.1.1.1) and aldolase (E.C. 4.1.2.13). Moreover, the 4 hybrid clones examined do not produce albumin . The only function of the differentiated parent which is not extinguished in the hybrid cells is inducibility of the aminotransferases. For 3 of the hybrid clones, extinction of 3 of the 4 enzymes is incomplete, but these clones do not differ in modal chromosome number from those which show more complete extinction of the enzymes. Subcloning of several of the hybrids revealed that the phenotype of the hybrids is very stable; 4 subclones showing reexpression of intermediate levels of the enzymes are characterized. These results show that dedifferentiation of the parental cells is not due to the simple loss of some factor required for the maintenance of expression of differentiated functions, and suggest that dedifferentiation is due to the activation of some control mechanism, whose final effect is negative, and which may be a part of the epigenotype of the embryonic hepatocyte.  相似文献

The inheritance of monoamine oxidase (MAO; EC1.4.3.4) was studied in cultured cells using techniques of somatic cell genetics. Cells of a mouse neuroblastoma variant line lacking MAO activity were fused to cytoplasts prepared from a mouse L cell line which expresses MAO activity and is resistant to chloramphenicol (a cytoplasmically inherited trait). The resulting cybrids were resistant to chloramphenicol, but did not recover MAO activity, indicating that the loss of activity in the neuroblastoma parent was not the result of an inherited lesion in a cytoplasmically transmitted gene. This cybrid cells were then fused to rat hepatoma cells expressing both A and B types of MAO activity. A resulting hybrid line, grown in medium containing hypoxanthine, aminopterin and thymidine (HAT) to select cells that had retained HPRT activity and hence the rat X chromosome, expressed both types of activity, but at a reduced level compared to the hepatoma parent. This finding indicates that the genetic lesion in the neuroblastoma cells resulting in loss of MAO activity is not phenotypically dominant, and that both A and B types of activity can be conferred together to neuroblastoma cells which normally express only the A type of MAO activity.  相似文献

The expression of insulin receptors and insulin action was studied in cell hybrids and cybrids produced by fusion of the BWIJ mouse hepatoma cell line with nucleated and enucleated mouse L-cells (LEA-2A) respectively. The BWIJ parent and the cybrids expressed high numbers of insulin receptors, whereas the hybrids resembled the L-cell parent with low numbers of receptors. Likewise, the hybrids resembled the LEA-2A cells with high levels of glycogen synthase, whereas the BWIJ cells and cybrids had much lower levels. Both parents, the cybrids, and the hybrids, expressed insulin stimulation of alpha-aminoisobutyric acid influx, but the dose-response curves indicated an increased insulin sensitivity in the cells with the higher receptor concentration. Insulin also stimulated 86Rb+ uptake in the hepatoma parent, hybrids and cybrids, but not in the L-cell parent. These data suggest that insulin receptors, like other hepatoma-specific properties, behave as a 'luxury function' of the hepatoma cell line and are extinguished when the hepatoma cell is fused with a less differentiated cell type. The biological activities associated with insulin action, on the other hand, are much more complex in their expression and probably the result of the interaction of multiple factors that vary in their expression in cell hybrids and cybrids.  相似文献

Transmission of organelle genomes in citrus somatic hybrids   总被引:3,自引:0,他引:3  
Restriction fragment length polymorphisms (RFLPs), were used to analyze the organelle composition of two-year-old trees, recovered from two different experiments: protoplasts from embryogenic cell suspensions of `Succari' sweet orange (C. sinensis L. Osbeck) were fused with leaf protoplasts of Citropsis gilletiana Swingle & M. Kell or to leaf protoplasts of Atalantia ceylanica(Arn.) Oliv. The somatic hybrids of both fusion combinations had the mitochondrial genome from the embryogenic partner. In some somatic hybrids, non-parental fragments were observed among the mitochondrial patterns. Somatic hybrids between `Succari' + Atalantia had plastid DNA from the embryogenic parent, while the somatic hybrids of `Succari' + Citropsis all had both parental chloroplast genomes. The relative abundance of organelle DNAs in the donor embryogenic and leaf cells may explain the consistent transmission of the embryogenic parent mitochondrial DNA and the inheritance of the chloroplast genome from either parent. This revised version was published online in June 2006 with corrections to the Cover Date.  相似文献

Summary The mapping of the gene coding for human aldolase C has been studied using a specific cDNA probe and genomic blots from a panel of human-hamster somatic cell hybrids. The results show that the aldolase C gene is on chromosome 17. In situ experiments have restricted the mapping to the region 17cenq21.1. Using the same panel of human-hamster somatic cell hybrids, we have confirmed the localization of aldolase A and B on chromosomes 16 and 9, respectively.  相似文献

Summary Five somatic hybrids between Brassica campestris and B. oleracea were obtained. Molecular, morphological and cytological information all suggest that the resynthesized B. napus plants were hybrids. All five plants were diploid (2n=38) and had mainly bivalents at meiosis. Seedset was low after selfing but normal after crossing with B. napus. Molecular proof of the hybrid nature of these plants was obtained by hybridization of a rDNA repeat to total DNA. Analysis of chloroplast DNA restriction patterns revealed that all hybrids had chloroplasts identical to the B. oleracea parent. The analysis of mitochondrial DNA indicated that three hybrids had restriction patterns identical to those of B. campestris, and the other two had restriction patterns similar to those of B. oleracea. The 11.3 kb plasmid present in mitochondria of the B. campestris parent was also found in mitochondria of all five hybrids. This suggests that the plasmid from a B. campestris type of mitochondria was transferred into mitochondria of a B. oleracea type.  相似文献

Rat hepatoma cells were fused with cells of an established mouse lymphoma line, with normal diploid mouse macrophages, lymphocytes and fibroblasts and with normal diploid rat macrophages and lymphocytes. The liver-specific enzyme tyrosine aminotransferase was produced by almost all the hybrid cells, but usually at a lower level than in the parental hepatoma cells. Most of the hybrids also showed increased levels of this enzyme after exposure to dexamethasone. In the rat x mouse hybrids, the electrophoretic mobility of the enzyme indicated that only the rat hepatoma enzyme was produced. The findings are difficult to explain in terms of simple models involving a single diffusible repressor or activator of tyrosine aminotransferase synthesis.  相似文献
