Summary Human embryonic lung fibroblasts (IMR-90 and WI-38) were arrested in the G1 phase of the cell cycle by serum deprivation and high population density. Within 1 hr after the addition of medium containing fresh serum, these cells showed an increase in rRNA synthesis. The inclusion of 100 μg per ml aminonucleoside of puromycin (AMS) in the fresh medium eliminated the serum stimulation of rRNA synthesis and prevented the cells from making the G1-resting phase to G1-prereplicative phase transition. AMS also prevented the synthesis of HnRNA normally found within 10 hr after serum stimulation. Serum-stimulated RNA synthesis in starved, SV-40 transformed fibroblasts (WI-38-VA-13 cells) was inhibited, but not completely prevented, by AMS indicating that transformed cells may produce specific RNA's that are not AMS-sensitive and that may be responsible for the failure of transformed cells to be arrested in G1. This work was supported by PHS Research Grant CA19750-02 from the National Cancer Institute. These results were reported previously in a preliminary form (7).  相似文献

Phosphatidylinositol (PI) synthesis and its role in controlling the cell cycle has been investigated using fibroblasts and liver cells in culture. PI synthesis as measured by incorporation of [3H]-myo-inositol into trichloroacetic acid precipitable material during 0–60 min after serum or growth factor stimulation of serum-starved cells is increased in primary fetal rat liver cells, rat embryo fibroblasts, and 3T3 mouse cells. In contrast, growth stimulation of 3T3 cells and hepatocytes rendered quiescent in G1 by amino acid starvation is not accompanied by increased incorporation of [3H]-myo-inositol into trichloroacetic acid precipitable material. This suggests that those cells might be arrested at a different point in G1 than cells arrested by serum depletion. Inhibition of PI synthesis by δ-hexachlorocyclohexane (HCH), a steric analog of myo-inositol, during early times (e.g., 0–4 hr) after growth stimulation, reversibly blocks initiation of DNA synthesis in 3T3 cells. The results support the idea that increased PI synthesis in response to growth stimulation in the cell types studied here is a prerequisite for progression through G1 and subsequent entry into S phase.  相似文献

Induction of DNA synthesis by the tumor promoter tetradecanoyl phorbol acetate (TPA) was studied in a line of cultured rat fibroblasts (Rat-1) and their ffRous sarcoma virus-transformed derivative (Rat-1(RSV)). Following serum deprivation for 54 h to achieve quiescene, semiconservative DNA replication was measured by incubation of cells in BrdUrd and FdUrd after serum stimulation in the presence or absence of TPA. Optimal concentrations of TPA (0.1–0.5 μg/ ml) in serum-free medium induced a small increase (10–15%) in the amount of DNA made over a 30-h period in both Rat-1 and Rat-1 (RSV) cells. When Rat-1 cells were stimulated by a 4-h serum pulse, 30% of the DNA was replicated by 30 h. If the serum pulse was follwed by TPA addition, 702% DNA replication wass observed. If the serum pulse was preceded by TPA addition, the onset of DNA synthesis waas delayed by several hous, but stimulation of DNA synthesis occurred. In contrast, the Rat-1 (RSV) cells did not show an increase in DNA synthesis induced by TPA in similar protocols, but the serum-induced onset on DNA synthesis was delayed by several hours in the presence of TPA. Therefore, TPA acts as a co-inducer of DNA synthesis in the Rat-1 but not in the Rat-(RSV) cells. The parent alcohol, phorbol, was inactive in Rat-1 cells, but delayed the onset of DNA synthesis in the Rat(RSV) cells. We conclude that the co-inducing and delaying activities of TPA on DNA synthesis appear to be distinct and to act at different points in the G1 phase of the cell cycle.  相似文献

Mitochondrial protein synthesis was measured in line CHO cells after phases of the cell cycle were synchronized by isoleucine deprivation or mitotic selection. Maximum incorporation of [3H] leucine into mitochondrial polypeptides occurred within 2 hours after isoleucine was added to initiate G1 traverse. In cells synchronized in G1 by mitotic selection, the rate of mitochondrial protein synthesis was fairly constant throughout the cell cycle. SDS-polyacrylamide gel electrophoretic profiles of labeled mitochondrial polypeptides were similar in cells synchronized by either isoleucine deprivation or mitotic selection. Obvious changes in the distribution of polypeptides were not detected during various phases of the cell cycle. The increased rate of incorporation of [3H] leucine into mitochondrial polypeptides after reversal of G1-arrest may indicate that mitochondrial protein synthesis and possibly mitochondrial biogenesis are synchronized in CHO cells deprived of isoleucine.  相似文献

Mouse hepatitis virus (MHV) replication in actively growing DBT and 17Cl-1 cells resulted in the inhibition of host cellular DNA synthesis and the accumulation of infected cells in the G0/G1 phase of the cell cycle. UV-irradiated MHV failed to inhibit host cellular DNA synthesis. MHV infection in quiescent 17Cl-1 cells that had been synchronized in the G0 phase by serum deprivation prevented infected cells from entering the S phase after serum stimulation. MHV replication inhibited hyperphosphorylation of the retinoblastoma protein (pRb), the event that is necessary for cell cycle progression through late G1 and into the S phase. While the amounts of the cellular cyclin-dependent kinase (Cdk) inhibitors p21Cip1, p27Kip1, and p16INK4a did not change in infected cells, MHV infection in asynchronous cultures induced a clear reduction in the amounts of Cdk4 and G1 cyclins (cyclins D1, D2, D3, and E) in both DBT and 17Cl-1 cells and a reduction in Cdk6 levels in 17Cl-1 cells. Infection also resulted in a decrease in Cdk2 activity in both cell lines. MHV infection in quiescent 17Cl-1 cells prevented normal increases in Cdk4, Cdk6, cyclin D1, and cyclin D3 levels after serum stimulation. The amounts of cyclin D2 and cyclin E were not increased significantly after serum stimulation in mock-infected cells, whereas they were decreased in MHV-infected cells, suggesting the possibility that MHV infection may induce cyclin D2 and cyclin E degradation. Our data suggested that a reduction in the amounts of G1 cyclin-Cdk complexes in MHV-infected cells led to a reduction in Cdk activities and insufficient hyperphosphorylation of pRb, resulting in inhibition of the cell cycle in the G0/G1 phase.  相似文献

Fetal calf serum (FCS) and PMA (phorbol 12-myristate-13-acetate) specifically stimulate the synthesis of heparan sulfate proteoglycan in endothelial cells. Staurosporine and n-butanol, kinase inhibitors, abolish the PMA effect. Forskolin and 8-bromo adenosine 3′:5′-cyclic monophosphate, activators of, respectively, adenylate cyclase and protein kinase A cannot reproduce the PMA effect. The kinetics of cell entry into S phase of the endothelial cells was determined by DNA synthesis ([3H]-thymidine and Br-dU incorporation), and flow cytometry. The mitogenic effect of fetal calf serum is abolished by PMA. Also, PMA pre-treatment inhibits the enhanced synthesis of heparan sulfate proteoglycan after a second PMA exposure. Remarkably, the stimulation of heparan sulfate proteoglycan synthesis by fetal calf serum and PMA seems to be mainly restricted to G1 phase. Therefore fetal calf serum and PMA cause an enhanced synthesis of heparan sulfate proteoglycan, and PMA causes a cell cycle block at G1 phase. J. Cell.

The addition of serum to density-inhibited human fibroblast cultures induced a wave of DNA synthesis, measured as [3H] thymidine incorporation into acid-precipitable material, beginning after 8–12 hr and reaching maximum levels at 16–24 hr. Addition of dibutyryl-3′ : 5′-cyclic AMP (DBcAMP) together with serum inhibited [3H] thymidine incorporation by 75–95%. When DBcAMP was added for the first 4 hr of serum stimulation and then removed, the wave of DNA synthesis was not delayed. This suggested that serum could induce DNA synthesis even though cyclic AMP concentrations were maintained at high levels by DBcAMP during this initial period. These results are inconsistent with the hypothesis that it is the immediate transient reduction in 3′ : 5′-cyclic AMP concentration following the addition of serum that triggers DNA synthesis. By contrast, DBcAMP added 8 hr after serum inhibited [3H] thymidine incorporation to the same extent as DBcAMP added at the same time as serum. This indicated that a step essential for DNA synthesis and occurring late in G1 was inhibited by high concentrations of 3′ : 5′-cyclic AMP.  相似文献

After adrenalectomy in adult male rats 3H-TdR incorporation into the liver parenchymal cells is increased 4–8 times and the mitotic index rises from 0–31 % to 1–3%; this is inhibited by corticosterone. After hepatectomy the serum corticosterone level increases from 18 μg/100 ml to 57 μg/100 ml. The corticosterone binding capacity of the serum declines from 2–06 to 0–17. The activity of tyrosine transaminase doubles, whereas the incorporation of 3H-TdR into the liver cells is decreased by a factor of 5–7. Thereafter the binding capacity increases again and reaches, 24 hr after operation, a value of 3–82. The tyrosine transaminase activity and the serum corticosterone content return to normal. 3H-TdR incorporation, however, increases by a factor of 7-7 of the initial value. We concluded that in the first few hours after partial hepatectomy corticosterone blocks the liver cells in G1 and an accumulation of the cells occurs at this cell cycle phase. Folio wing the binding of the corticosterone by serum proteins a little later the liver cells enter the S-phase synchronously.  相似文献

The effects of ACTH and 8-Br-cAMP on growth and replication of a functional mouse adrenal tumor cell line (Y-1) were investigated. ACTH and 8-Br-cAMP both inhibited DNA synthesis and replication when added to randomly growing cell cultures. ACTH addition and serum deprivation each arrested cells in G1; an additional point of arrest in G2 occurred with 8-Br-cAMP. Cells whose growth was arrested in G1 by ACTH had a significantly larger volume and protein and RNA content compared to cells arrested in G1 by serum deprivation. When ACTH or 8-Br-cAMP was added with serum to cells arrested by serum deprivation, the wave of DNA synthesis and cell division seen with serum was abolished. ACTH and 8-Br-cAMP had no effect on the serum-induced increases in protein and RNA content, rates of leucine incorporation into protein and uridine incorporation into RNA, and RNA polymerase I activity observed in cells during the pre-replicative period. Partial inhibition of the serum-induced increase in uridine transport occurred. ACTH and cAMP do not appear to inhibit replication by generalized negative pleiotypic effects but rather to inhibit the initiation of DNA synthesis more specifically. The ACTH-arrested Y-1 cell resembles an in vivo hypertrophied adrenal cortical cell.  相似文献

tsAF8, ts13, tsHJ-4, and TK?ts13 cells are G1-specific temperature-sensitive (ts) mutants of BHK cells that do not enter S phase when serumstimulated from quiescence at nonpermissive temperature (39.6°-40.6°). TK?ts13 are, in addition, defective in thymidine kinase. Different G1 functions must be involved in these cells, since the first three cell lines complement each other when forming heterokaryons. We have used these cells to study the role of the nucleus in the cytoplasmic expression of these G1 functions during the transition of cells from the non-proliferating to the proliferating state. We fused cytoplasts from either serumstarved (G0) or serum-stimulated (S) tsAF8 cells with G0-ts13, G0-tsHJ-4, and G0-TK?ts13 recipient cells and determined, after serum stimulation of the fusion products, which type of cytoplasts could complement the defective G1 functions. Cytoplasts from S-tsAF8 cells complemented all three functions, i.e., cybridoids between S phase cytoplasts and ts13 or tsHJ-4 recipient cells entered S at the nonpermissive temperature, and TK?ts13 recipient cells incorporated exogenous thymidine. Cytoplasts isolated from G0-tsAF8 cells (3 days of serum starvation) complemented ts13 cells but not tsHJ-4 and TK?ts13 cells. Cytoplasts from 6-day starved tsAF8 cells lost the complementing capacity for ts13 cells. However, when the 6-day starved tsAF8 cells were fused with G0-ts13 cells, the heterokaryons entered S phase at the nonpermissive temperature. Also, cytoplasts isolated from the 6-day starved cells that were serum stimulated for 40 hr before enucleation regained the capacity to complement ts13 cells. These results demonstrate that three functions required in G1 cannot be detected in the cytoplasm of serum-starved cells, although they are present in the cytoplasm of S-phase cells. These results suggest that a functional nucleus is required for the cytoplasmic appearance of certain G1 functions in serumstimulated cells.  相似文献

Mitochondrial DNA (mit-DNA) synthesis was compared in suspension cultures of Chinese hamster cells (line CHO) whose cell cycle events had been synchronized by isoleucine deprivation or mitotic selection. At hourly intervals during cell cycle progression, synchronized cells were exposed to tritiated thymidine ([3H]TdR), homogenized, and nuclei and mitochondria isolated by differential centrifugation. Mit-DNA and nuclear DNA were isolated and incorporation of radioisotope measured as counts per minute ([3H]TdR) per microgram DNA. Mit-DNA synthesis in cells synchronized by mitotic selection began after 4 h and continued for approximately 9 h. This time-course pattern resembled that of nuclear DNA synthesis. In contrast, mit-DNA synthesis in cells synchronized by isoleucine deprivation did not begin until 9–12 h after addition of isoleucine and virtually all [3H]TdR was incorporated during a 3-h interval. We have concluded from these results that mit-DNA synthesis is inhibited in CHO cells which are arrested in G1 because of isoleucine deprivation and that addition of isoleucine stimulates synchronous synthesis of mit-DNA. We believe this method of synchronizing mit-DNA synthesis may be of value in studies of factors which regulate synthesis of mit-DNA.  相似文献

The G1 arrest induced in NRK cells by picolinic acid could be prevented by addition of Fe3+, Zn2+ or Co2+ to the tissue culture media. Ca2+, Mg2+, Mn2+, Sr2+ or Ba2+ were ineffective. Complete and synchronous reversal of the G1 block, however, was achieved by Fe3+ at lower concentration from that of Zn2+. Co2+ reversed the block but cells divided asynchronously. Thymidine incorporation, mitotic index and relative DNA content per cell, verified that G1 arrested cells proceeded through the cell cycle after addition of Fe3+ or Zn2+. These observations afford a valuable model system for elucidating the biochemical events that occur between addition of a defined proliferative signal and stimulation of DNA synthesis in G1 arrested cells.  相似文献

Smooth muscle cell (SMC) proliferation plays an important role in the pathogenesis of vascular diseases such as atherosclerosis and postangioplasty restenosis. Recently we demonstrated the thiol antioxidantN-acetylcysteine (NAC) inhibits constitutive NF-κB/Rel activity and growth of vascular SMCs. Here we show that treatment of human and bovine aortic SMC with the thiol antioxidant NAC causes cells to exit the cell cycle and remain quiescent as determined by a greatly reduced incorporation of [3H]thymidine and G0/G1DNA content. Removal of NAC from the culture medium stimulates SMCs to synchronously reenter the cell cycle as judged by induction of cyclin D1 and B-mybgene expression during mid and late G1phase, respectively, and induction of histone gene expression and [3H]thymidine incorporation during S phase. The time course of cyclin D1, B-myb,and histone gene expression after NAC removal was similar to that of serum-deprived cells induced to resume cell cycle progression by the addition of fetal bovine serum to the culture medium. Taken together, these results indicate that NAC treatment causes SMCs to enter a reversible G0quiescent, growth-arrested state. Thus, NAC provides an important new method for synchronizing SMCs in culture.  相似文献

The prostacyclin (PGI2) production in rat liver cells by treatment by N-tosyl-L-phenylalanine chloromethyl ketone (TPCK) and 12-O-tetradecanoylphorbol-13-acetate (TPA) is not dependent upon the simultaneous presence of both ligands. Preincubation of the rat liver cells with TPA followed by addition of TPCK, as well as preincubation of the cells with TPCK followed by addition of TPA, results in PGI2 production. Maximum production is found after a 10 min incubation with TPA or after a 120 min incubation with TPCK. Preincubation with TPA for longer than 10 min or preincubation with TPCK for longer than 2 h results in reduced stimulation of PGI2 production. Dexamethasone does not eliminate the effects of either preincubation or simultaneous addition of TPCK and TPA. EGTA does not affect either preincubation reaction but does completely inhibit PGI2 production after simultaneous addition of the agents. Preincubation of the cells for 30 min with aspirin completely inhibits the TPCK-TPA-stimulated PGI2 synthesis. The PGI2 production following exogenous addition of arachidonic acid to the cells is unaffected by prior treatment of the cells with TPA, TPCK, or TPA plus TPCK. Taken together the data suggest that TPA stimulates the production of an intermediate which activates a Ca2+-dependent phospholipase activity. The intermediate is inactivated by a protease which is inhibited by the SH-reactive agent TPCK. The released arachidonic acid is oxygenated by the constitutively expressed cyclooxygenase (prostaglandin H synthase-1).  相似文献

The non-transmembrane protein tyrosine phosphatase, PTP-S, is located predominantly in the cell nucleus in association with chromatin. Here we have analysed the expression of PTP-S upon mitogenic stimulation and during cell division cycle. During liver regeneration after partial hepatectomy, PTP-S mRNA levels increased 16-fold after 6 h (G1 phase) and declined thereafter. Upon stimulation of serum starved cells in culture with serum, PTP-S mRNA levels increased reaching a maximum during late G1 phase and declined thereafter. No significant change in PTP-S RNA levels was observed in growing cells during cell cycle. PTP-S protein levels were also found to increase upon mitogenic stimulation. Upon serum starvation for 72 h, PTP-S protein disappears from the nucleus and is seen in the cytoplasm; after 96 h of serum starvation the PTP-S protein disappears from the nucleus as well as cytoplasm. Refeeding of starved cells for 6 h results in reappearance of this protein in the nucleus. Our results suggest a role of this phosphatase during cell proliferation.  相似文献

Confluent quiescent monolayers of aneuploid and euploid cells in culture can be stimulated to proliferate by appropriate nutritional changes. In confluent monolayers of WI-38 human diploid fibroblasts the uptake of cycloleucine is increased three hours after these cells are stimulated to proliferate by a change of medium plus 10% serum. No changes in the uptake of cycloleucine are observed in logarithmically-growing WI-38 cells exposed to fresh medium plus 10% serum, or in WI-38 confluent monolayers in which the conditioned medium has been replaced by fresh medium with 0.3% serum (a change that does not cause stimulation of cellular proliferation in WI-38 cells). In 3T6 cells in the stationary phase stimulated to proliferate by nutritional changes, there is a prompt increase in the uptake of cycloleucine, within one hour after stimulation of cell proliferation. Similar results were obtained with stationary 2RA cells which are SV-40 transformed WI-38 fibroblasts. In addition, chromatin template activity which is known to increase in the early stages after stimulation of confluent WI-38 cells, was unchanged in confluent 3T6 or 2RA cells stimulated to proliferate. These results show that at least two of the very early biochemical events occurring in response to stimulation of cell proliferation are different in WI-38 diploid cells and in aneuploid 2RA or 3T6 cells. It is proposed that WI-38 cells in the stationary phase are arrested in the G0 phase of the cell cycle, while 2RA and 3T6 cells are arrested in the G1 phase.  相似文献

Flow microfluorometry has been used to characterize the effects of serum concentration and cell density on the initiation of cell cycle transit of stationary phase (G0) human diploid fibroblasts (strain WI-38). The concentration of serum used to stimulate these cultures had no effect on the time cells began appearing in S (the DNA synthetic period), nor on the synchrony with which they moved around the cell cycle. However, as the serum concentration increased, the fraction of the stationary phase population released from G0 increased. Cell density modulated the ability of serum to stimulate cell cycle traverse. For example, at a cell density of 1.81 × 104 cells/cm2, 78% of the population was sensitive to serum stimulation; whereas, when the density was increased to 7.25 × 104 cells/cm2, only 27% of the population could be stimulated. This effect of cell density on the serum response is not simply the result of changing the ratio of serum concentration to cell density, but appears to reflect a true modulation of the population's sensitivity to serum stimulation. These results are consistent with the interpretation that the primary action of serum is to determine the transition of cells from a non-cycling G0 state to a cycling state and that cell density determines the proportion of the population capable of undergoing this transition.  相似文献

The phorbol ester tumor promoter 12-0-tetradecanoylphorbol-13-acetate (TPA) specifically inhibited the binding of radioiodinated epidermal growth factor (125I-EGF) to rat pheochromocytoma (PC12) cells in a noncompetitive fashion with an apparent Ki of 11–26 nM. Both TPA and EGF elicited similar biological responses in PC12 cells including enhanced incorporation of 3H-choline and 32P-orthophosphate into macromolecules, induction of ornithine decarboxylase, and stimulation of the phosphorylation of a 30,000 MW nonhistone, chromosome-associated protein. These effects were also elicited by nerve growth factor (NGF) which, in contrast to the former agents, is a differentiating stimulus for the PC12 cells. The effects of TPA were additive or more than additive to the effects of NGF and EGF. When PC12 cells were induced to differentiate by treatment with NGF for 72 hours, the binding of 125I-EGF and responses to EGF were reduced by approximately 70%. The response of PC12 cells to the tumor promoter TPA was unaffected by treatment with NGF. Thus, the qualitatively similar effects of TPA and EGF seemed to be mediated through separate receptor systems with only the EGF receptor system reduced by NGF treatment.  相似文献

Exposure of Swiss 3T3 cells to micromolar quantities of β-all-trans-retinoic acid (RA) results in either inhibition of growth or stimulation of cellular responsiveness to mitogens, depending on the length of treatment. Inhibition of growth is produced by treatment of the cells with RA for at least 48 hours. The total cellular pools of adenosine 5′-triphosphate (ATP) are markedly increased after 48-hour RA treatment and dose dependence studies show a correlation between the expanded ATP pools and the inhibitory effects. The expansion of total cellular ATP pools by retinoic acid occurs throughout the cell cycle and parallels the cell cycle-dependent fluctuations in total cellular ATP pools of untreated cells. Studies of [3H]thymidine incorporation and labeling indices in intact cells and [3H]dTTP incorporation and labeling indices in isolated nuclei of RA-treated and control cultures suggest that cellular acid-soluble nucleotide pools mediate the inhibition of DNA replication in the 48-hour-RA-treated cells. The stimulatory activity of RA for mitogenic responsiveness is demonstrated by treatment of G0/G1-arrested 3T3 cells with micromolar levels of RA for a maximum of 18 hours resulting in the potentiation of phorbol myristate acetate (PMA)-stimulated transition into S phase of the cell cycle. Marked increases in total cellular ATP and UTP pools are produced by 18-hour treatment of G0/G1-arrested cells with RA, before their exposure to PMA.  相似文献
