采用心室成纤维细胞条件培养液培养心室成纤维细胞,通过测定[^3H]－脯氨酸（[^3H]－proline）的掺入率来了解心室成纤维细胞总胶原合成速率,通过测定[^3H]－胸腺嘧啶核苷（[^3H]－TdR）的掺入率以及c-fos基因的表达丰度来了解心室成纤维细胞的增殖速率。结果显示：心室成纤维细胞条件培养液（FCGM）能增加细胞自身的[^3H]－proline的掺入率和[^3H]－TdR的掺入率,并具有剂量依赖性;FCGM也能促进细胞自身c-fos基因的表达,刺激后1h达高峰。ETA受体拮抗剂BQ123能部分阻断FCGM增加成纤维细胞胶原合成的增殖作用,而AT1受体拮抗剂CV11974和α肾上腺素受体拮抗剂regitin无此效果。结果提示：心室成纤维细胞具有自分泌功能,能分泌内皮素等生物活性物质,促进成纤维细胞胶原的合成和增殖。

Accurate quantification of basal plasma levels of 3-nitrotyrosine and 3-nitrotyrosinoalbumin by gas chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry

Measurement of 3-nitro-L-tyrosine (NO(2)Tyr) and protein-related 3-nitro-L-tyrosine in human plasma is associated with numerous methodological problems which result in highly divergent basal plasma levels often ranging within two orders of magnitude. Recently, we have described an interference-free GC-tandem MS-based method for NO(2)Tyr which yielded the lowest basal plasma NO(2)Tyr levels reported thus far. This method was extended to quantify protein-associated 3-nitrotyrosine and in particular 3-nitrotyrosinated albumin (NO(2)TyrALB) in human plasma. NO(2)TyrALB and albumin (ALB) were extracted from plasma by affinity column extraction and digested enzymatically at neutral pH. 3-Nitro- L-[2H(3)]tyrosine was used as internal standard. In plasma of 18 healthy young volunteers the molar ratio of NO(2)TyrALB to albumin-derived tyrosine (TyrALB), i.e. NO(2)TyrALB/TyrALB, was determined to be 1.55+/-0.54x1:10(6) (mean+/-SD). The plasma concentration of NO(2)TyrALB was estimated as 24+/-4 nM. The NO(2)Tyr plasma levels in these volunteers were determined to be 0.73+/-0.53 nM. In the same volunteers, NO(2)TyrALB/TyrALB, NO(2)TyrALB and NO(2)Tyr were measured 15 days later and the corresponding values were determined to be 1.25+/-0.58x1:10(6), 25+/-6 nM and 0.69+/-0.16 nM. For comparison, NO(2)Tyr and NO(2)TyrALB were measured in six plasma samples from healthy volunteers by GC-MS and GC-tandem MS. Different values were found for NO(2)Tyr, i.e. 5.4+/-2.8 versus 2.7+/-1.5 nM, and comparable values for NO(2)TyrALB/TyrALB, i.e. 0.5+/-0.2x1:10(6) versus 0.4+/-0.1x1:10(6), by these methods. The ratio of the values measured by GC-MS to those measured by GC-tandem MS were 2.9+/-3.1 for NO(2)Tyr and 1.2+/-0.2 for NO(2)TyrALB/TyrALB. The present GC-tandem MS method provides accurate values of NO(2)Tyr and NO(2)TyrALB in human plasma.     

Quantitative studies of amino acid and growth factor requirements of transformed and nontransformed cells in high concentrations of serum of lymph

Summary The growth rate of spontaneously transformed BALB/3T3 cells is proportional to glutamine concentration between 50 and 400 μM, with little or no growth occurring in less than 50 μM glutamine. By contrast, nontransformed BALB/3T3 cells multiply, although slowly, with as little as 20 μM glutamine. Neither cell type depletes the medium of glutamine at the low concentrations. Cystine requirements of both cell types increase with serum concentration, probably due to the binding of half-cystine residues by the serum. Calf serum is a much more potent stimulator of cell multiplication than calf lymph, especially for the nontransformed cells. The rate of cell multiplication can be reduced by lowering the concentration of essential amino acids to the physiologic level found in body fluids, but the growth limitations can be fully compensated by simply raising the serum concentration. Growth factors may act by enhancing the utilization of amino acids, particularly of glutamine which is a required substrate for the first and chief regulatory steps of purine and pyrimidine synthesis. Lymph, which is coextensive with interstitial fluid in vivo, is poor in growth factors for the nontransformed BLAB/3T3 cells as well as for recently explanted mouse embryo cells, which raises questions of how normal cell growth is maintained in the body.

Binding of isolated 3T3 surface membranes to growing 3T3 cells and their effect on cell growth

We have quantitated by autoradiography the binding of [¹²⁵I]labeled 3T3 plasma membrane fragments to 3T3 cells growing on the surface of plastic dishes; ie, the same conditions in which these membranes specifically arrest the growth of 3T3 cells early in the G₁ phase of the cell cycle. We have been able to demonstrate that binding of membranes to cells is coincidental with the expression of the growth inhibitory activity of protein(s) present in the membrane fragments. Treatments that reduce binding (heat denaturation of the membranes or culture in the presence of high scrum) also reduce growth inhibitory activity. [¹²⁵I]labeled membranes bound to cells are located primarily on the cell surface (as determined by electron microscope autoradiography) and are exchangeable with unlabeled membranes. We conclude that binding of membranes to cells is necessary but may not be sufficient for the expression of the growth inhibitory activity of these membranes. This approach provides information not only on the average level of binding of membranes to cells, but also provides a quantitative assessment of the variation of the level of membrane to cell binding between different cells in the population.     

Inhibition of ribonucleotide reductase by naturally occurring quinols from spores of Agaricus bisporus

gamma-L-glutaminyl-4-hydroxybenzene, a stable phenol found in high concentrations in the gill tissue of the common mushroom, Agaricus bisporus, was shown to be capable of selectively inhibiting DNA synthesis in L1210 leukemia cells. Studies with isolated enzymes and permeabilized L1210 cells revealed that this compound inhibits ribonucleotide reductase ( RNR ) but has no effect on DNA polymerase. The results indicated a good correlation between the inhibition of DNA synthesis and the ability of this compound to inhibit RNR . The concentration of glutaminyl-4-hydroxybenzene required to elicit these inhibitory effects has physiological relevance to the gill tissue during the prodromal period of sporulation.     

The mutational spectrum of procarbazine in Drosophila melanogaster.

The antineoplastic agent Procarbazine was tested for the induction of genetic damage in Drosophila melanogaster. The compound was administered to adult males by oral application. The following types of genetic damage were measured: (1) sex-linked recessive lethals; (2) dominant lethals; (3) total and partial sex-chromosome loss; and (4) translocations. Procarbazine is highly mutagenic in causing recessive lethal mutations in all stages of spermatogenesis. In sperm a clear-cut concentration-effect relationship is not apparent, but in spermatids such a relationship is obtained for mutation induction at low levels of procarbazine exposure, while at high concentrations the induction of recessive lethals is not a function of concentration. A low induction of total sex-chromosome loss (X,Y) and dominant lethals was observed in metabolically active germ cells (spermatids), but procarbazine failed to produce well-defined breakage events, such as partial sex-chromosome loss (YL,YS) and II-III translocations. The results obtained in Drosophila melanogaster are discussed and compared with the mutational pattern reported in the mouse after procarbazine treatment.     

Strain differences in the induction of soluble and microsomal enzymes by phenobarbital and 3-methylcholanthrene

The ability of phenobarbital and 3-methylcholanthrene (3MC) to induce liver microsomal and soluble enzymes was compared in Sprague-Dawley and Long-Evans rats. 3MC increased the V for the aniline hydroxylase and stimulated the formation of the hemoprotein P₄₄₈ to a similar extent in the 2 strains of rats. On the other hand phenobarbital increased the V for the microsomal enzyme aniline hydroxylase and aminopyrine demethylase and enhanced the activity of the soluble enzyme aldehyde dehydrogenase only in Sprague-Dawley rats. It induced a more marked increase of cytochrome P₄₅₀ in the Sprague-Dawley than in the Long-Evans strain.

Differential expression and accumulation of 14-3-3 paralogs in 3T3-L1 preadipocytes and differentiated cells

The 14-3-3 protein family interacts with more than 2000 different proteins in mammals, as a result of its specific phospho-serine/phospho-threonine binding activity. Seven paralogs are strictly conserved in mammalian species. Here, we show that during adipogenic differentiation of 3T3-L1 preadipocytes, the level of each 14-3-3 protein paralog is regulated independently. For instance 14-3-3β, γ, and η protein levels are increased compared to untreated cells. In contrast, 14-3-3ε protein levels decreased after differentiation while others remained constant. In silico analysis of the promoter region of each gene showed differences that explain the results obtained at mRNA and protein levels.
