Growth factors, mitogens, and malignant transformation can alter the rate of amino acid uptake in mammalian cells. It has been suggested that the effects of these stimuli on proliferation are mediated by activation of Na+/H+ exchange. In lymphocytes, Na+/H+ exchange can also be activated by phorbol esters and by hypertonic media. To determine the relationship between the cation antiport and amino acid transport, we tested the effects of these agents on the uptake of alpha-aminoisobutyric acid (AIB), methyl-AIB, proline, and leucine in rat thymocytes. Both 12-O-tetradecanoylphorbol-13-acetate (TPA) and hypertonicity stimulated amino acid uptake through system A (AIB, proline, and methyl-AIB). In addition, TPA, but not hypertonicity, also elevated leucine uptake. The stimulation of the Na+ -dependent system A was not due to an increased inward electrochemical Na+ gradient. The effects of TPA and hypertonic treatment were not identical: Stimulation of AIB uptake by TPA was observed within minutes, whereas at least 1 hr was required for the effect of hypertonicity to become noticeable. Moreover, stimulation by hypertonicity but not that by TPA, was partially inhibited by cycloheximide, suggesting a role of protein synthesis. That stimulation of Na+/H+ exchange does not mediate the effects on amino acid transport is suggested by two findings: 1) the stimulation of AIB uptake was not prevented by concentrations of amiloride or of 5-(N,N-disubstituted) amiloride analogs that completely inhibit the Na+/H+ antiport and 2) conditions that mimic the effect of the antiport, namely, increasing [Na+]i or raising pHi failed to stimulate amino acid uptake. Thus, in lymphocytes, activation of Na+/H+ exchange and stimulation of amino acid transport are not casually related.  相似文献

Cultured pig kidney cells designated LLC-PK1, previously shown to acquire Na+-dependent concentrative transport of hexoses as the cells become growth arrested, also show Na+-dependent concentrative uptake of the amino acid analogs alpha-aminoisobutyric acid (AIB) and (methyl) meAIB. This A system-like transport is most active in sparse, growing cultures and becomes stepped down at confluence. The cell/medium equilibrium distribution ratio of the lipophilic cation tetraphenylphosphonium ion (TPP+) decreases in parallel fashion, suggesting that a decrease in membrane potential may be a major factor in the stepdown. Differentiation inducers (hexamethylene bisacetamide) and phosphodiesterase inhibitors (theophylline, methylisobutyl xanthine) accelerate the stepdown, but even in the presence of these compounds addition of the tumor promoter 12-0-tetradecanoylphorbol-13-acetate (TPA) results in the maintenance of a high level of AIB and meAIB uptake. In all these respects the changes in A system-like amino acid transport are the reciprocal of those seen for concentrative hexose transport, although the driving force appears to be the same for both systems. The TPA analogs phorbol and 4-0-methyl TPA which are inactive in tumor promotion are inactive in this system as well. In confluent, already stepped-down cultures, addition of TPA leads to a rapid (2-6 hour) stimulation of AIB and meAIB uptake. The enhancement is sensitive to cycloheximide and actinomycin D. The ouabain-sensitive fraction of meAIB uptake is not markedly changed in the TPA-enhanced uptake, nor is the TPP+ distribution ratio elevated in TPA-treated cells, making it unlikely that the TPA effect is through an alteration in the membrane potential.  相似文献

The addition of the tumor-promoting phorbol ester 12-0-tetradecanoyl phorbol-13-acetate resulted in activation of calcium-sensitive phospholipid-dependent protein kinase which was dependent on the presence of phospholipid but was essentially independent of calcium. Fluphenazine, which is an effective inhibitor of the ability of this phorbol ester to stimulate proliferation in calcium-deprived non-neoplastic cells, inhibited the enzyme in the absence or presence of the phorbol ester (Ki = 16 μM). Fluphenazine inhibition was competitive with phospholipid but non-competitive with 12-0-tetradecanoyl phorbol-13-acetate.  相似文献

Treatment of intact human platelets and S49 lymphoma cyc- cells with the phorbol ester, 12-O-tetradecanoylphorbol-13-acetate, impairs GTP-dependent and hormone-induced inhibition of adenylate cyclase, an action mediated by the inhibitory coupling protein Ni. In contrast, receptor-independent activation of Ni with subsequent adenylate cyclase inhibition induced by the stable GTP analog, guanosine 5'-[gamma-thio]triphosphate, was affected in neither the potency nor onset of Ni activation by the stable GTP analog, in both membrane systems studied. The data indicate that modification of Ni following phorbol ester treatment does not impair its activation by stable GTP analogs.  相似文献

Phorbol ester tumor promoters induce epidermal transglutaminase activity   总被引:5,自引:0,他引:5  
Epidermal basal cells in culture have low levels of epidermal transglutaminase, the enzyme responsible for the formation of the cross-linked envelope in differentiated cells. The tumor promoter 12-O-tetradecanoylphorbol-13-acetate and other active (but not inactive) phorbol ester skin tumor promoters induce transglutaminase activity. Sloughing of differentiated cells accompanies the rise in transglutaminase activity. Phorbol esters do not affect transglutaminase activity when added directly to cell lysates. Corticosteroids have little influence on transglutaminase induction by phorbol esters. Retinoic acid induces transglutaminase activity, but activity does not further increase when basal cells are treated with both retinoic acid and 12-O-tetradecanoylphorbol-13-acetate.  相似文献

The effects of retinoic acid and 12-O-tetradecanoylphorbol 13-acetate on the sensitivities of a number of cell lines to the toxins modeccin, abrin, ricin and diphtheria toxin were studied. Retinoic acid and some other retinoids were found to protect a number of the cell lines against the toxins. HeLa cells that were protected bound much more retinoic acid than L-cells that were not protected. The tumour promoter 12-O-tetradecanoylphorbol 13-acetate was found to increase the sensitivity of cells to abrin, ricin and modeccin in the absence as well as in the presence of retinoic acid. Neither retinoic acid nor 12-O-tetradecanoylphorbol 13-acetate affected the extent of binding and pinocytotic uptake of toxins by the cells. Apparently retinoic acid and 12-O-tetradecanoylphorbol 13-acetate interfere with the entry of the toxins through the cell membrane.  相似文献

Previous studies showed that the tumor-promoting phorbol ester 12-O-tetradecanoylphorbol 13-acetate (TPA) and several structurally related tumor-promoting compounds stimulate lymphocytes to produce immune interferon (IFN-gamma) and interleukin 2 (IL-2). This study shows that three compounds structurally unrelated to TPA, previously shown to mimic TPA in some other biological activities, are similar to TPA in stimulating IFN-gamma and Il-2 production in cultures of human peripheral blood lymphocytes. The production of another lymphokine, termed lymphotoxin (LT), was also enhanced by TPA and the other three compounds examined. Maximal enhancement of lymphokine production was observed in cultures costimulated with TPA or one of the other tested compounds and phytohemagglutinin (PHA). TPA was separated from IFN-gamma during a multistep purification procedure.  相似文献

We studied the effect of the tumor-promoting phorbol ester phorbol 12-myristate 13-acetate (PMA), which activates protein kinase-C, on porcine granulosa cells in culture. PMA as well as cholera toxin, forskolin, and hCG increased cAMP accumulation. PMA further augmented the elevation in cAMP accumulation induced by cholera toxin, forskolin, and hCG. In the same cell culture model, hCG induced a time-dependent increase in the 3 beta-hydroxy-5-ene steroid dehydrogenase (3 beta HSD) mRNA levels with a maximal 3-fold stimulation obtained at 8-16 h of incubation with 1 IU hCG/ml. PMA inhibited the increase in 3 beta HSD mRNA levels induced by hCG in a dose-dependent manner. The phorbol ester also inhibited the increase in 3 beta HSD mRNA levels stimulated by LH as well as cholera toxin and forskolin and the cAMP analogs (Bu)2cAMP and 8-bromo-cAMP. Activation of protein kinase-C by mezerein similarly inhibited hCG stimulation of 3 beta HSD mRNA levels. The present data indicate that activation of the protein kinase-C pathway induces generation of cAMP, but causes a near-complete inhibition of the stimulatory effects of hCG, LH, forskolin, cholera toxin, and cAMP analogs on 3 beta HSD mRNA levels in porcine granulosa cells in culture.  相似文献

The tumor-promoting phorbol ester, 12-O-tetradecanoyl-phorbol-13-acetate, causes a rapid, partial redistribution of 1,2-diacylglycerol kinase from the cytosol to the particulate fraction of quiescent Swiss 3T3 fibroblasts. The inactive alpha form of the phorbol ester does not cause any change in diacylglycerol kinase localization, and depletion of protein kinase C by chronic administration of phorbol ester blocks the redistribution. Phorbol ester has no direct effect on membrane-bound diacylglycerol kinase in 3T3 cells. When phorbol ester is added to 3T3 membranes in the presence of ATP, Mg2+, and Ca2+, there is no activation of membrane-bound kinase, indicating that phorbol ester does not activate membrane-bound kinase through phosphorylation by protein kinase C. Stimulation of the cells with phorbol ester increases the total mass of diacylglycerol. In protein kinase C-depleted cells, addition of a cell-permeable synthetic diacylglycerol, dioctanoylglycerol, results in a partial redistribution of cytosolic diacylglycerol kinase to the membrane, also suggesting that the translocation of DAG kinase is regulated primarily by substrate concentration.  相似文献

In adrenalectomized rats, the tumor-promoting phorbol ester 12-O-tetradecanoylphorbol 13-acetate (TPA) markedly enhanced the inductions of tyrosine aminotransferase (TAT) and ornithine decarboxylase by glucocorticoids, even with sufficient concentration of glucocorticoids to have a maximal effect, whereas it had no effect on TAT activity and increased ornithine decarboxylase activity only slightly in the absence of glucocorticoids. Phorbol derivatives and components of TPA such as 4 beta-phorbol, phorbol 12-tetradecanoate, phorbol 13-acetate, and 4-O-methylphorbol 12-tetradecanoate 13-acetate, which have no tumor-promoting activity or ability to activate protein kinase C, did not have any effect on TAT induction by glucocorticoid. TPA enhanced the induction of TAT by various glucocorticoids but had no effect on induction of TAT by glucagon or insulin and did not enhance the induction of glucose-6-phosphate dehydrogenase by 17 beta-estradiol. These results suggest that TPA specifically enhances the induction of TAT and ornithine decarboxylase by glucocorticoids. Similar effects of TPA on TAT induction by glucocorticoid were observed in primary cultures of adult rat hepatocytes. Another activator of protein kinase C, rac-1,2-dioctanoylglycerol, was also found to have similar effects on the cells.  相似文献

PMA (phorbol myristate acetate, i.e., 12-0-tetradecanoyl-phorbol-13-acetate) a tumor-promoting ester from croton oil, at its most effective concentration of 0.05 μg per milliliter, rapidly (within one hour) induces a large fraction of the lymphoblasts in suspended thymic lymphocyte populations to start making DNA, and these stimulated cells later progress into mitosis. This stimulatory PMA action is probably mediated by calcium because it disappears when calcium is omitted from the medium, and PMA strikingly increases the sensitivity of the lymphoblasts to calcium's stimulatory action.  相似文献

Previous studies have shown that metabolic cooperation between Chinese hamster V-79 cells is inhibited by the tumor-promoting phorbol esters, but not by those phorbol esters inactive in tumor promotion. Metabolic cooperation is believed to be mediated by gap junctions. Therefore, in the present study we have used freeze-fracture and quantitative morphological techniques to examine the effect of the most potent tumor-promoting phorbol ester, 12-O-tetradecanoyl phorbol-13-acetate (TPA) and of the inactive analog, 4α-phorbol-12,13-didecanoate (4α-PDD) on the frequency of gap-junctional contacts between V-79 cells. In both control and in 4α-PDD treated cultures the junctions were frequent, though rather small in size. In contrast, in the TPA-treated cultures, gap junctions were few, and the area of membrane occupied by gap junctions was reduced more than 20-fold from that found for controls. These results suggest that the TPA-induced inhibition of metabolic cooperation between V-79 cells is a consequence of a decrease in the number of gap junctions.  相似文献

To study the induction of differentiation in human melanoma cells, we treated 12 melanoma cell lines with mycophenolic acid and tiazofurin, inhibitors of IMP dehydrogenase (IMPDH). In all cell lines studied, both agents inhibited cell growth and increased melanin content. However, the degree of growth inhibition did not necessarily correspond to the increase in melanin content. A detailed analysis of the HO and SK-MEL-131 cell lines indicated that mycophenolic acid and tiazofurin caused a time- and dose-dependent increase in the expression of a series of other maturation markers, including formation of dendrite-like structures, tyrosinase activity, and reactivity with the CF21 monoclonal antibody. The growth inhibition and melanogenesis induced by the IMPDH inhibitors was abrogated by the addition of exogenous guanosine. No such effect was observed after treatment of the cells with phorbol 12-myristate 13-acetate or retinoic acid, two other inducers of differentiation in these cells. The mycophenolic acid- and tiazofurin-treated cells also showed an increased level of IMPDH mRNA and protein, perhaps because of compensation for the inhibitor-mediated decrease in IMPDH activity. In contrast, treatment with phorbol 12-myristate 13-acetate or retinoic acid resulted in decreased levels of IMPDH mRNA and protein. The lack of a consistent pattern of IMPDH expression in the cells treated with IMPDH inhibitors and phorbol 12-myristate 13-acetate or retinoic acid suggests that the altered expression of IMPDH is not a general requirement for the induction of cell differentiation in these cells. Our results also suggest that IMPDH inhibitors may provide a useful approach to circumvent the differentiation block in melanoma.  相似文献

Linear saturated fatty acid methyl esters were comitogenic with lectins for mouse lymphocytes, the degree of comitogenicity being strongly dependent on the length of the acyl group, and maximal for methyl tetradecanoate. Lesser effects were found for analogs with 10, 12 or 16 acyl carbon atoms, whereas those with fewer than 10 or more than 16 were inactive. Analogous structure-function relationships have been described for various membrane-active and tumor-promoting phorbol diesters, where there is a similar dependence on ester acyl group length for many activities. The fatty acid esters may therefore represent simple model compounds for studying mechanistic aspects of phorbol diester activity.  相似文献

A study was undertaken to examine the effects of the tumor-promoting phorbol ester, 12-O-tetradecanoylphorbol-13-acetate, on pancreatic islet B cell differentiated function and number. Islets from 3-day-old rats were maintained in tissue culture for up to 30 days with or without the addition of the phorbol ester. Changes in the insulin content of the media and tissue were determined at 48 hr and weekly intervals, respectively, using radioimmunoassay. The 30-day cumulative output of insulin into the medium was increased almost 2-fold and the tissue insulin content was increased 4-fold by the phorbol ester. Counts of cell smears processed for the immunocytochemical localization of insulin indicated no effect on the total numbers of B cells or non-B cells in either control or treated cultures. This enhanced maintenance of islet B cell differentiated function by 12-O-tetradecanoylphorbol-13-acetate suggests that pancreatic islets may be a useful model with which to study the mechanisms of action of this and other tumor-promoters.  相似文献

Chronic lymphocytic leukemia (CLL) B-lymphocytes have a unique and specific diminution of L-system (leucine favoring) amino acid uptake; the maximal velocity is approximately 10% of normal B-lymphocytes. Treatment of CLL B-cells with the maturational agent, tetradecanoyl phorbol acetate, results in restoration of L-system amino acid uptake to normal velocity. To further characterize the effect of phorbol ester on the L-system of CLL B-cells, we have examined the ability of normal and CLL lymphocytes to exchange intracellular for extracellular amino acids by the L-system (trans-stimulation). A 60% increase in L-system uptake was noted in normal B- and T-lymphocytes in the presence of a high intracellular concentration of 2-amino-2-carboxy-bicycloheptane (BCH), a largely L-system-specific substrate. L-system transport was not trans-stimulated in CLL B-lymphocytes. Phorbol ester treatment restored L-system uptake in CLL to a normal Vmax of 900 mumol/liter cell water per minute in the absence of BCH loading. The Vmax could be increased further to 2,400 if phorbol ester-treated CLL cells were loaded with BCH. Hence, phorbol esters result not only in a normalization of L-system uptake in CLL B-cells but the transport system demonstrates exchange rates comparable to normal lymphocytes.  相似文献

In hepatocytes isolated from meal-fed rats, phorbol 12-myristate 13-acetate as well as phorbol 12,13-didecanoate stimulated de novo fatty acid synthesis in a dose-dependent manner. Moreover, phorbol 12-myristate 13-acetate inhibited ketogenesis from exogenous oleate, but slightly enhanced oleate esterification. The stimulation of esterification was more pronounced with endogenously synthesized fatty acids. In hepatocytes from 24h-starved rats a moderate stimulation of gluconeogenesis and ureogenesis was observed with glutamine as substrate. It is concluded that tumor-promoting phorbol esters mimick the short-term effects of insulin on hepatic fatty acid metabolism.  相似文献
