Chinese hamster cells (M3-1 line) in S phase were laser-UV-microirradiated (lambda, 257 nm) at a small site of the nucleus. Cells were fixed either immediately thereafter or in subsequent stages of the cell cycle, including prophase and metaphase. The microirradiated chromatin was visualized by indirect immunofluorescence microscopy using antibodies specific for UV-irradiated DNA. During the whole post-incubation period (4-15 h) immunofluorescent labelling was restricted to a small part of the nucleus (means, 4.5% of the total nuclear area). In mitotic cells segments of a few chromosomes only were labelled. Following microirradiation of chromosome segments in anaphase, immunofluorescent labelling was observed over a small part of the resulting interphase nucleus. A territorial organization of interphase chromosomes, i.e. interphase chromosomes occupying distinct domains, has previously been demonstrated by our group for the nucleus of Chinese hamster cells in G1. Our present findings provide evidence that this organization pattern is maintained during the entire cell cycle. 相似文献

The ccl mutation in Paramecium tetraurelia reversibly and rapidly blocks cell cycle progression and DNA synthesis at the restrictive temperature. Progression through the cell cycle is blocked during both the G1 and S portions of the cell cycle, while at the restrictive temperature there is neither residual cell cycle progression nor induction of excess delay of subsequent cell cycle events. DNA synthesis activity is reduced to 50% of the normal level in about 5 min and is completely blocked at 30 min after a shift to restrictive temperature. On return to permissive conditions, DNA synthesis is reactivated with similar kinetics. 相似文献

The effects of butyrate upon the extents of phosphorylation of histones H1 and H1(0) during cell-cycle progression have been investigated. Chinese hamster (line CHO) cells were synchronized in early S phase and released into medium containing 0 or 15 mM butyrate to resume cell-cycle traverse into G1 of the next cell cycle. Cells were also mechanically selected from monolayer cultures grown in the presence of colcemid and 0 or 15 mM butyrate to obtain greater than 98% pure populations of metaphase cells. Although cell cycle progression is altered by butyrate, electrophoretic patterns of histones H1, H1(0), H3, and H4 indicate that butyrate has little, if any, effect on the extents of H1 and H1(0) phosphorylation during the cell cycle or the mitotic-specific phosphorylation of histone H3. Butyrate does, however, inhibit removal of extraordinary levels of histone H4 acetylation (hyperacetylation) during metaphase, and it appears to cause an increase in the content of H1(0) in chromatin during the S or G2 phases of the cell cycle. 相似文献

Cyclosporin A (CsA) is a cyclic endecapeptide of fungal origin displaying strong immunosuppressive properties. CsA and another active member of the cyclosporin (Cs) family, but not an inactive one, can interfere with the proliferation of some, but not all, T-lymphoid cell lines. Cells from Cs-sensitive lines accumulate in the G1 phase of the cell cycle. No effect is detected on the cycle of Cs-resistant lines. Both Cs-sensitive and Cs-resistant lines are arrested by another G1 blocker (actinomycin D) and DNA synthesis inhibitors (cytosine arabinoside, hydroxyurea), become multinucleated/polyploid when exposed to cytochalasin B (CB), are arrested in mitosis by colchicine and accumulate in G2 phase in the presence of Taxol. The effect of Cs is best evidenced when the drug is applied to cells which were already delayed in G1 by saturation density cultivation or serum deprivation. By the combined use of Cs and of other drugs working at a later phase of the cycle, results were obtained which suggest that the effect of Cs is either to delay very much the cells throughout the G1 phase or to arrest them at that G1 phase or at the following one. A correlation of the G1-blocking property of Cs with their immunosuppressive properties may be possible but is still speculative. 相似文献

Analysis of a Chinese hamster temperature-sensitive cell cycle mutant arrested in early S phase 总被引:2,自引:0,他引:2
E36 ts24 is a temperature-sensitive cell cycle mutant which has been derived from the Chinese hamster lung cell line E36. This mutant is arrested in phase S when incubated at the restrictive temperature (40.3 degrees C) for growth. At this temperature, proliferation of the mutant cells ceases after 10 h. About 2 h earlier, DNA synthesis is arrested. These kinetic studies indicate that the execution point of the mutant cells is in early S phase well beyond the G1/S boundary. The pattern of replication bands in E36 ts24 cell grown for 9 h at 40.3 degrees C strengthen the kinetic studies and map the execution point to early S phase. The exact point of arrest of the mutant cells in phase S was mapped in early S phase near the execution point. At the point of arrest the cells continue to synthesize DNA at at a high rate but practically all of the newly synthesized DNA is degraded. This high rate of DNA degradation is limited to nascent DNA at the point of arrest. In the presence of 5-bromodeoxyuridine (5-BudR), the last E36 ts24 cells which reach mitosis at the restrictive temperature for growth show asymmetric replication bands which illustrate DNA degradation and resynthesis occurring in these cells at 40.3 degrees C. 相似文献

Exponentially growing cells of Saccharomyces cerevisiae were fractionated by centrifugation in isotonic, self-generated gradients of Percoll. Rapidly growing cells, μ = 0.5
× h−1, with nearly equal length of the daughter and the parental cell cycle were fractionated according to a cell cycle-related density variation. In these cells the net rate of protein synthesis varies nearly 2-fold during the cell cycle. Subsequent separations according to cell size revealed that the highest rate is observed during G2 period. Slow-growing cells, μ = 0.2
× h−1, were fractionated on shallow Percoll gradients in a bimodal fashion, primarily as a dense daughter fraction and a composite light fraction. Thereby a marked high rate of protein synthesis in large unbudded daughter cells was revealed. Separations according to cell size revealed a cell cycle-related separation of budded cells, and the highest rate is observed, as before, in the G2 period. Irrespective of the growth rate a non-exponential increase of cell protein is thereby observed through the cell cycle of budding yeast. Septation and cell separation coincide with a low degree of ribosome exploitation. 相似文献

Dissociated embryonic chick dorsal root ganglionic cells were plated on collagen-coated tissue culture dishes in Eagle's basal medium containing 10% fetal calf serum (FCS). After 48 h, which allowed adequate cell attachment, the cultures were washed with serum-free medium and then received fresh medium supplemented with 10% FCS or serum-free defined medium (N1), which was supplemented with insulin, transferrin, progesterone, putrescine and selenium. In addition, both media required the addition of Nerve Growth Factor (NGF). N1 medium selectively maintained the neurons and did not support proliferation or even survival of almost all non-neuronal elements (fibroblasts and Schwann cells). Survival of neurons in N1 was initially as good and eventually better than in serum-containing medium. After 6 days in N1 the cultures consisted almost entirely of neurons (>95%), which had smaller cell bodies but more extensive process formation than in serum-supplemented medium. The omission of any one of the supplements resulted in a reduction of neuron survival. The ability to generate cultures of pure neurons in a serum-free defined medium may be useful for studying (i) the role of specific hormones and growth factors normally supplied by serum in the maintenance of neurons and (ii) biochemical parameters of neurons in the absence of the substantial background due to non-neuronal elements. 相似文献

3-Aminobenzamide (3AB), an inhibitor of poly(ADP-ribose) polymerase, is a potent inducer of sister chromatid exchanges (SCEs). Because of the possible relation between SCEs and DNA synthesis, the effects of 3AB on DNA synthesis and cell cycle progression in Chinese hamster ovary (CHO) cells were examined. Unlike all other SCE-inducing agents whose effects on DNA synthesis have been studied, short term exposures (30–120 min) of 3AB did not inhibit the overall rate of DNA synthesis and this result was independent of the amount of bromodeoxyuridine (BrdU) in the DNA. Longer exposure times (>24 h) did result in an extended S phase, but this was not due to an effect on the rate of DNA chain elongation. 3AB also delayed the entry of cells into S phase. The overall cell cycle delay was dose dependent, approaching 9 h after a 54 h exposure to 10 mM 3AB. Earlier reports that 3AB is neither mutagenic nor cytotoxic were confirmed. Thus 3AB acts to increase SCE frequency by a mechanism distinct from that which causes cytotoxicity and mutagenicity, and does not involve any inhibition in the rate of DNA chain growth. 相似文献

In the presence of 1–5 mM n-butyrate, murine leukemic L1210 cells cease proliferation and become arrested in the G1A compartment of the G1 phase. Cells in this compartment, in comparison with the remaining cells of the G1 phase (G1B), are characterized by low RNA content and more condensed chromatin. During unperturbed growth the cell residence times in G1A are of indeterminate duration (exponentially distributed); the half-time of L1210 cell residence in G1A is about 1.4 h. The effect of n-butyrate in arresting cells in G1A was concentration-dependent. However, the sensitivity of L1210 cells to this drug was markedly enhanced when cells were treated for longer than one generation (12 h). Cells arrested in G1A remained viable and when n-butyrate was removed, after a lag period, they resumed progression through the cycle.The effect of n-butyrate on cell progression through various parts of the cycle was studied in a stathmokinetic experiment. The rate of cell entrance into mitosis was decreased by 30, 60 and 110%, in the presence of 1, 2.5 and 5 mM n-butyrate respectively, thus indicating a slowdown in cell progression through G2 and S. The duration of G2 was prolonged by 20, 70 and 140% at 1, 2.5 and 5 mM n-butyrate respectively. The half-time of cell residence in G1A was increased by as much as 1.5-, 6.3- and 15.6-fold by 1, 2.5 and 5 mM n-butyrate. Progression through late G1 (G1B) was not affected at 1 mM, and could not be estimated at higher drug concentrations. The effects on cell cycle progression were evident 1 h after addition of n-butyrate.DNA in situ in nuclei of n-butyrate-treated cells had lowered (by 2–8 °C) stability to thermal denaturation and increased (by 15%) accessibility to DNase I. The decrease in DNA stability to heat was more pronounced when permealized cells were heated in the presence of 1 mM MgCl2 rather than EDTA. DNA in situ in the nuclei of n-butyrate-treated cells also showed decreased sensitivity to acid-induced denaturation. Changes in chromatin were seen in all cells, regardless of cell cycle phase, within the first hours after addition of n-butyrate. Mitotic cells, however, reacted to n-butyrate more rapidly than interphase cells. The observed changes in L1210 cells are most likely a consequence of histone modifications (acetylation of inner histones, dephosphorylation of histone H1) induced by n-butyrate. 相似文献

Control of entry of Swiss 3T3 cells into S phase by fibroblast growth factor under serum-free conditions 总被引:1,自引:0,他引:1
Swiss 3T3 cells can be made quiescent at low density by plating in medium MCDB 402 supplemented with dexamethasone (DEX), insulin (INS) and bovine plasma fibronectin (BPFn) for 3 days. One hour after stimulation of these cells by fibroblast growth factor (FGF), an increase in the rate of protein synthesis can be measured. Nine hours after stimulation by FGF, the rate at which the cells enter S phase increases abruptly. This increased rate of entry into S phase is delayed when methylamine is added to the medium before FGF treatment and later removed. The delay is only for the amount of time that the cells are exposed to methylamine, with no subsequent effect on the rate at which the cells enter S. The early increase in rate of protein synthesis caused by FGF is not blocked by concentrations of methylamine that stop the progression of FGF-treated cells toward S phase. The assay system that has been developed provides a means for detailed analysis of the prereplicative phase of Swiss 3T3 cells in a serum-free medium and in the absence of density-dependent inhibition. 相似文献

When the subridge mesoderm of the embryonic chick limb bud is cultured in the absence of the apical ectodermal ridge and adjacent ectoderm, the cells rapidly progress through the various stages of chondrogenesis. During the first day of culture, the cells initiate condensation, and during subsequent days, deposit a cartilage matrix. In the present study, we show that early in the first day there is a progressive 2-fold increase in cell surface galactosyltransferase activity towards endogenous acceptors. Later in the first day, although the cells are still in condensation, endogenous galactosyltransferase activity has decreased, suggesting in situ galactosylation of surface acceptors. During subsequent development, when cartilage matrix is being deposited, surface galactosyltransferase activity remains low. All controls have been performed to insure cell surface localization of enzyme activity. Two other surface glycosyltransferases show very low levels of activity, which do not change significantly during culture. We suggest that during cellular condensation, an interaction between surface galactosyltransferases and acceptors on adjacent cells occurs, and this interaction may be causally related to subsequent chondrogenic differentiation. 相似文献

Retinoic acid-induced modifications in the growth and cell surface components of a human carcinoma (HeLa) cell line 总被引:4,自引:0,他引:4

The addition of retinoic acid to cultures of HeLa-S3 cells caused a reduction in cell proliferation rate which became apparent after 72 h and was linearly dependent on retinoic acid concentration in the range 10−9–10−5 M. After 72 h of exposure to retinoic acid, the cells assumed a flattened appearance and no longer formed multilayers. These changes were reversed within 48 h after removal of retinoic acid from the medium. Structural analogs of retinoic acid with a free ---COOH group at C-15 were usually more potent in growth inhibition than compounds with an alcohol, aldehyde, ether or ester group. A cellular retinoic acid-binding protein was detected in cell homogenates, and the binding of [3H]retinoic acid to the binding protein was inhibited by most, but not all, analogs possessing a free terminal ---COOH group. For example, the 4-oxo analog of retinoic acid, while capable of inhibiting cellular proliferation, failed to bind to the retinoic acid-binding protein. Analysis of cell surface and cellular glycoproteins by lactoperoxidase-catalysed 125I iodination and by metabolic labeling with [3H]glucosamine revealed that a 190000 D glycoprotein which was labeled by both methods and a 230000 D glycoprotein which was labeled only with [3H]glucosamine were labeled more intensely in retinoic acid-treated cells compared with untreated cells. The electrophoretic mobility of the 230000 D glycoprotein could be modified by treatment of intact cells with either neuraminidase or proteolytic enzymes, suggesting that this glycoprotein is also exposed on the cell surface. The cell surface alterations were detected much earlier than the onset of growth inhibition and appeared as early as 24 h after exposure to retinoic acid. The possible relationship between retinoic acid-induced changes in cell membrane structure, cell morphology, and cell proliferation is discussed. 相似文献

When exponentially growing NHIK 3025 cells were shifted from medium containing 30% serum to medium containing 0.03% serum the rate of net protein accumulation was reduced due to both a reduction in the rate of protein synthesis and an increase in the rate of protein degradation. This change in growth conditions increased the protein doubling time from 18 to 140 h. The cell cycle duration of cells synchronized by mitotic selection was, however, only increased from 17 to 26 h by this treatment. Therefore, when the cells divide by the end of the first cell cycle following synchronization, the cells shifted to 0.03% serum contained far less protein than those growing continuously in 30% serum. Hence, the attainment of a critical cell mass is probably not controlling cell division for cells growing in a balanced state. 相似文献

Regulation of low-density lipoprotein receptors in the human hepatoma cell line Hep G2 总被引:1,自引:0,他引:1
D. Roger Illingworth Saralyn Lindsey Fay C. Hagemenas 《Experimental cell research》1984,155(2):518-526
The human hepatoma cell line Hep G2 can be maintained in continuous culture and secretes numerous plasma proteins and lipoproteins into the medium. To better characterize cholesterol homeostasis in these cells we have examined the binding, internalization and degradation of [125I]LDL by cultured Hep G2 cells. Hep G2 cells express high-affinity low-density lipoprotein (LDL) receptors which facilitate the binding, internalization and degradation of [125I]LDL; these receptors can be induced by growth in LDL-depleted medium and repressed by further incubation in medium supplemented with LDL. The degradation of [125I]LDL by derepressed Hep G2 cells was inhibited by greater than 90% by monensin. Incubation of Hep G2 cells in the presence of increasing concentrations of LDL also inhibited cholesterol biosynthesis. Our results indicate that Hep G2 cells possess high affinity LDL receptors which are subject to metabolic regulation and suggest that this cell line affords a valuable model to further examine cholesterol and lipoprotein metabolism in human liver cells. 相似文献

Differential effects of pure human alpha and gamma interferons on fibroblast cell growth and the cell cycle 总被引:1,自引:0,他引:1
Pure human alpha and recombinant gamma interferons had differential effects on two strains of fetal lung fibroblasts in vitro. Alpha interferon had little effect on long-term cell growth, whereas gamma interferons, both glycosylated and non-glycosylated, were cytotoxic. However, when synchronized cells were studied, alpha interferon prolonged both G1 and S + G2 phases of the cell cycle, whereas gamma interferon only affected the G1 phase. 相似文献

The transformed phenotype is believed to be dominant in fusions between limited lifespan cells and transformed cells, based on heterokaryon experiments and on the isolation of transformed hybrids from mass cultures of fused cells. A series of fusions has been performed between limited lifespan Lesch-Nyhan fibroblast cells and a permanent HeLa cell line with a complementary genetic marker. The growth of independently isolated hybrid clones was followed in parallel with Lesch-Nyhan cells. In fusions involving Lesch-Nyhan cells which had completed about 50% of their lifespan, all hybrids initially show fibroblastic properties. Thirty-five hybrids had a limited lifespan slightly longer than Lesch-Nyhan controls. Three other hybrid clones, and all mass cultures of hybrids, showed the appearance of transformed colonies at a rate of approx. one transformant in 2 × 105 hybrid cells. These transformed cells showed anchorage independence, low serum requirement, chromosome loss, and have been maintained in culture for 50–100 population doublings with no signs of senescence. Fusions involving enucleated HeLa cells did not show transformation. Fusions with senescent Lesch-Nyhan cells yielded hybrids which grew beyond the normal Lesch-Nyhan cell lifespan, but which again showed limited lifespan and low frequency transformation. It is concluded that limited lifespan is expressed in a dominant manner in these fusions, and that transformation or “escape from senescence” is a low frequency event requiring the presence of the HeLa nucleus. 相似文献

Two sets of parent and virus-transformed cell lines (3T3 vs SV-3T3; BHK vs PY-BHK) were compared with respect to the extent of divalentcation independent aggregation which previously has been shown to depend upon the interaction of endogenous hyaluronate with specific receptors on the cell surface. When measured under conditions of physiological ionic strength, a significant amount of hyaluronidase-inhibitable aggregation was found in the virus-transformed cell lines (SV-3T3 and PY-BHK) but not in their parent counterparts (3T3 and BHK). However, when the same experiment was performed in a high ionic strength solution (0.5 M NaCl), the hyaluronidase inhibitable aggregation was detected in all of the cell lines. The differences in the aggregation between the various cell lines was also reflected in the binding of [3H]hyaluronate. In physiological saline, the virus-transformed cells bound greater amounts of hyaluronate (higher Bmax) with a greater affinity (lower kd) than did their untransformed counterparts. Increasing the ionic strength to 0.5 M NaCl increased the binding of [3H]hyaluronate by each cell line; however, the relative differences between the cell lines remained. These results indicate that variations in the ability of the cells to bind hyaluronate can partially account for the differences between the parent and the virus-transformed cells with respect to their ability to aggregate. 相似文献
