The ability was tested of appropriate substituents of benzo[a]pyrene (BP) at C-6 to decrease or suppress the carcinogenic activity for these BP derivatives relative to the parent compound. 8-week-old female Swiss mice in 9 groups of 30 were treated on the back with 0.2 mumol of compound in acetone 4 times weekly for 20 weeks. The following compounds were administered: BP, 6-methylbenzo[a]pyrene (BP-6-CH3), 6-hydroxymethylbenzo[a]pyrene (BP-6-CH2OH), benzo[a]pyrene-6-carboxaldehyde (BP-6-CHO), benzo[a]pyrene-6-carboxylic acid, 6-methoxybenzo[a]pyrene, 6-acetoxybenzo[a]pyrene, 6-bromobenzo[a]pyrene, and 6-iodobenzo[a]pyrene. Two additional groups received BP or BP-6-CH3 twice weekly for 20 weeks at a total dose 25% of that above. In addition, the metabolism of selected 6-substituted BP derivatives was studied, using mouse skin homogenates in vitro and mouse skin in vivo. Only four compounds were carcinogenic; the order of potency was BP greater than BP-6-CH3 greater than BP-6-CH2OH and BP-6-CHO. The difference in carcinogenicity between BP-6-CH2OH and BP-6-CHO could not be assessed by this experiment. In a further tumorigenesis experiment the carcinogenicity of BP-6-CH2OH was compared to that of BP-6 CHO, BP-6-CH3 and 6-hydroxymethylbenzo[a]pyrere sulfate ester (BP-6-CH2OSO3Na) on mouse skin. 9-week-old female Swiss mice in groups of 28 were treated at three dose levels with 0.8, 0.2 and 0.05 mumol of compounds in dioxane--dimethyl sulfoxide (75 : 25) twice weekly for 40 weeks. After 40 experimental weeks BP-6-CH2OSO3Na proved to be a more potent carcinogen than BP-6-CH2OH, which, in turn was more active than BP-6-CHO. The greater carcinogenicity of BP-6-CH3 relative to BP-6-CH2OH and BP-6-CHO is confirmed, suggesting that BP-6-CH2OH is not a proximate carcinogenic metabolite for BP-6-CH3. Since BP-6-CHO is a weaker carcinogen than BP-6-CH2OH and is efficiently reduced metabolically to BP-6-CH2OH, the latter compound may be a common proximal carcinogenic metabolite. The stronger potency of BP-6-CH2OSO3Na, compared to its alcohol, suggests that an ester of BP-6-CH2OH might be the ultimate alkylating compound reacting with cellular nucleophiles. 相似文献

Lung maturation before birth includes type II pneumocyte differentiation with progressive disappearance of glycogen content and onset of surfactant synthesis. We have shown previously that 1,25-(OH)2D3 increases surfactant synthesis and secretion by type II cells and decreases their glycogen content in fetal rat lung explants. Recently, the gene coding fructose 1,6 bisphosphatase (F1,6BP), a regulatory enzyme of gluconeogenesis, has been identified in type II cells and its promoter bears a Vitamin D response element. Present results show:The coexistence of type II cells at different stages of maturation. in rat fetal lung on day 21 of gestation (electron microscopy), and the association between maturation of type II cells and disappearance of their glycogen content. The immunogold labeling of all type II cells when using the 9A7g VDR-antibody, with significantly more abundant gold particles in cells exhibiting an intermediate glycogen content. The expression of F1,6BP mRNA in a human type II cell line (NCI-H441) and the increase of this expression after 18h incubation with 1,25-(OH)2D3 (10(-8)M). These results bring further evidence for a physiological role of 1,25-(OH)2D3 during type II pneumocyte maturation. Activation of F1,6BP may participate to the 1,25-(OH)2D3 action on surfactant synthesis via the gluconeogenesis pathway. 相似文献

The reversible DNA physical binding of a series of non-reactive metabolites and metabolite model compounds derived from benzo[a]pyrene (BP) has been examined in UV absorption and in fluorescence emission and fluorescence lifetime studies. Members of this series have steric and pi electronic properties similar to the highly carcinogenic metabolite trans-7,8-dihydroxy-anti-9,10-epoxy-7,8,9,10-tetrahydrobenzo[a]pyrene (BPDE) and the less potent metabolite 4,5-epoxy-4,5-dihydrobenzo(a)pyrene (4,5-BPE). The molecules examined are trans-7,8-dihydroxy-7,8-dihydrobenzo[a]-pyrene (7,8-di(OH)H2BP), 7,8,9,10-tetrahydroxytetrahydrobenzo[a]pyrene (tetrol) 7,8,9,10-tetrahydrobenzo[a]pyrene (7,8,9,10-H4BP), pyrene, trans-4,5-dihydroxy-4,5-dihydrobenzo[a]pyrene (4,5-di(OH)H2BP) and 4,5-dihydrobenzo[a]pyrene (4,5-H2BP). In 15% methanol at 23 degrees C the intercalation binding constants of the molecules studied lie in the range 0.79-6.1 X 10(3) M-1. Of all the molecules examined the proximate carcinogen 7,8-di(OH)-H2BP is the best intercalating agent. The proximate carcinogen has a binding constant which in UV absorption studies is found to be 2.8-6.0 times greater than that of the other hydroxylated metabolites. Intercalation is the major mode of binding for 7,8-di(OH)H2BP and accounts for more than 95% of the total binding. Details concerning the specific role of physical bonding in BP carcinogenesis remain to be elucidated. However, the present studies demonstrate that the reversible binding constants for BP metabolites are of the same magnitude as reversible binding constants which arise from naturally occurring base-base hydrogen bonding and pi stacking interactions in DNA. Furthermore, previous autoradiographic studies indicate that in human skin fibroblasts incubated in BP, pooling of the unmetabolized hydrocarbons occurs at the nucleus. The high affinity of 7,8-di(OH)H2BP for DNA may play a role in similarly elevating in vivo nuclear concentrations of the non-reactive proximate carcinogen. 相似文献

Femtosecond and picosecond dynamics of 2,2,4,6-tetramethyl-1,2-dihydroquinoline (1) and 1,2,2,4,6-pentamethyl-1,2-dihydroquinoline (2) were studied in MeOH, MeOD, and Pr(i)OH to probe the early events of the photoinduced proton transfer (PT) between 1,2-dihydroquinolines (DHQ) and a solvent. From studies in the two solvents MeOH and Pr(i)OH and by examining the effect of deuterium replacement of proton, it has been established that PT takes 150-200 fs in MeOH, but does not occur in Pr(i)OH. The formation of PT products in the ground state proceeds concurrently to the relaxation of the higher vibrational excited singlet state to the thermally equilibrated state S(1) of DHQ. The absorption spectrum of the S(1) state was registered, and the time constant of its decay in MeOH (ca. 1 ns) agrees well with the lifetime of fluorescence measured recently by single photon counting. 相似文献

Monocytic differentiation-inducing activity of 26,26,26,27,27,27-hexafluoro-1 alpha,25-dihydroxyvitamin D3 [26,27-F6-1 alpha,25-(OH)2D3] was re-evaluated in human promyelocytic leukemia (HL-60) cells in serum-supplemented or serum-free culture. The order of in vitro potency for reducing nitroblue tetrazolium (NBT) was 26,27-F6-1 alpha,25-(OH)2D3 greater than 1 alpha, 25-dihydroxyvitamin D3 [1 alpha,25-(OH)2D3] = 26,26,26,27,27,27-F6-1 alpha,23(S), 25-trihydroxyvitamin D3 [26,27-F6-1 alpha,23(S), 25-(OH)3D3] under serum-supplemented culture conditions, whereas the order was 1 alpha, 25-(OH)2D3 = 26,27-F6-1 alpha,25-(OH)2D3 greater than 26,27-F6-1 alpha,23(S), 25-(OH)3D3 under serum-free culture conditions. This rank order for differentiation-inducing activity under serum-free culture conditions correlated well with the binding affinity of these analogs for vitamin D3 receptor of HL-60 cells. The order of relative % binding affinity for the vitamin D-binding protein in fetal calf serum was 1 alpha,25-(OH)2D3 (100%) much greater than 26,27-F6-1 alpha,25-(OH)2D3 (5.1%) greater than 26,27-F6-1 alpha,23(S), 25-(OH)3D3 (less than 1%). These results suggest that serum vitamin D-binding proteins apparently modulate monocytic differentiation of HL-60 cells by 26,27-F6-1 alpha,25-(OH)2D3 under serum-supplemented culture conditions. 相似文献

The reactions of a few representative gold(III) complexes -[Au(ethylenediamine)2]Cl3, [Au(diethylentriamine)Cl]Cl2, [Au(1,4,8,11-tetraazacyclotetradecane)](ClO4)2Cl, [Au(2,2',2'-terpyridine)Cl]Cl2, [Au(2,2'-bipyridine)(OH)2][PF6] and the organometallic compound [Au(6-(1,1-dimethylbenzyl)-2,2'-bipyridine-H)(OH)][PF6]- with BSA were investigated by the joint use of various spectroscopic methods and separation techniques. Weak metal-protein interactions were revealed for the [Au(ethylenediamine)2]3+ and [Au(1,4,8,11-tetraazacyclotetradecane)]3+ species, whereas progressive reduction of the gold(III) centre was observed in the cases of [Au(2,2'-bipyridine)(OH)2]+ and [Au(2,2',2'-terpyridine)Cl]2+. In contrast, tight metal-protein adducts are formed when BSA is reacted with either [Au(diethylentriamine)Cl]2+ and [Au(6-(1,1-dimethylbenzyl)-2,2'-bipyridine-H)(OH)]+. Notably, binding of the latter complex to serum albumin results in the appearance of characteristic CD bands in the visible spectrum. It is suggested that adduct formation for both of these gold(III) complexes occurs through coordination at the level of surface histidines. Stability of these gold(III) complexes/serum albumin adducts was tested under physiologically relevant conditions and found to be appreciable. Metal binding to the protein is tight; complete detachment of the metal from the protein has been achieved only after the addition of excess potassium cyanide. The implications of the present results for the pharmacological activity of these novel cytotoxic agents are discussed. 相似文献

Using [3H]-26,26,26,27,27,27-hexafluoro-1,25-dihydroxyvitamin D3 (F6-1,25-(OH)2D3), we have examined its ability to bind to the 1,25-(OH)2D3 receptor, and the ability of the resulting complex to bind DNA. The binding sites for [3H]F6-1,25-(OH)2D3 in the chick intestinal receptor represented a limited number of saturable sites for which 1,25-(OH)2D3 competes. 1,25-Dihydroxyvitamin D3 is three times more active than F6-1,25-(OH)2D3 in displacing [3H]F6-1,25-(OH)2D3. By affinity chromatography using DNA-Sephadex, the [3H]F6-1,25-(OH)2D3 receptor complex eluted from the column in a single peak at 0.14 M KCl, while [3H]-1,25-(OH)2D3 receptor complex eluted at 0.13 M KCl. These results indicate that F6-1,25-(OH)2D3 and 1,25-(OH)2D3 recognize the same binding site of the receptor and that the F6-1,25-(OH)2D3 receptor complex binds DNA more tightly than the 1,25-(OH)2D3 receptor complex. We suggest that the higher binding affinity for DNA may contribute to the greater biological activity of F6-1,25-(OH)2D3. 相似文献

Benzo[a]pyrene (BP) is an environmental genotoxin, which, following metabolic activation to 7,8-diol 9,10-epoxide (BPDE) derivatives, forms covalent adducts with cellular DNA. A major fraction of adducts are derived from the binding of N2 of guanine to the C10 position of BPDE. The mutagenic and carcinogenic potentials of these adducts are strongly dependent on the chirality at the four asymmetric benzylic carbon atoms. We report below on the combined NMR-energy minimization refinement characterization of the solution conformation of (-)-trans-anti-[BP]G positioned opposite C and flanked by G.C base pairs in the d(C1-C2-A3-T4-C5-[BP]G6-C7-T8-A9-C10-C11).d(G12-G13-T14++ +-A15-G16-C17- G18-A19-T20-G21-G22) duplex. Two-dimensional NMR techniques were applied to assign the exchangeable and non-exchangeable protons of the benzo[a]pyrenyl moiety and the nucleic acid in the modified duplex. These results establish Watson-Crick base pair alignment at the [BP]G6.C17 modification site, as well as the flanking C5.G18 and C7.G16 pairs within a regular right-handed helix. The solution structure of the (-)-trans-anti-[BP]G.C 11-mer duplex has been determined by incorporating intramolecular and intermolecular proton-proton distances defined by lower and upper bounds deduced from NOE buildup curves as constraints in energy minimization computations. The BP ring spans both strands of the duplex in the minor groove and is directed toward the 3'-end of the modified strand in the refined structure. One face of the BP ring of [BP]G6 stacks over the C17 residue across from it on the partner strand while the other face is exposed to solvent.(ABSTRACT TRUNCATED AT 250 WORDS) 相似文献

Molecular mechanics simulations using Cerius2 modelling environment combined with vibrational spectroscopy (IR and Raman) have been used to study the host-guest interactions in zirconium and vanadyl phosphate intercalated with ethanole. The strategy of investigation is based on the comparison of vibrational spectra for the host compound, intercalate and guest species. This comparison confirmed the rigidity of VOPO4- and Zr(HPO4)2-layers during the intercalation and provided us with the basis for the strategy of modelling. Molecular mechanics simulations revealed the structure of intercalates and enabled to analyse the host-guest interaction energy and bonding geometry. The bilayer arrangement of ethanole molecules in the interlayer space with two differently bonded ethanole molecules has been found in both intercalates. The average interaction energy ethanole-layer for two differently bonded ethanole molecules is : 127.5 and 135.7 kcal·mol-1 in Zr(HPO4)2·2C2H5OH, respectively 94.0 and 104.4 kcal·mol-1 in VOPO4·2C2H5OH. The Coulombic contribution to the ethanole-layer interaction energy is predominant in all cases, but the hydrogen bonding contribution is much higher in Zr(HPO4)2·2C2H5OH than in VOPO4·2C2H5OH. Present results of modelling enabled the interpretation of vibrational spectra and explanation of small changes in positions and shapes of spectral bands, in infrared and Raman spectra, proceeding from the host structure to intercalates. 相似文献

The inhibitory effects of 1 alpha,25-(OH)2D3 and synthetic oxa-derivatives of vitamin D3 on growth of normal and psoriatic fibroblasts in culture were compared. Proliferation of normal fibroblasts was strongly inhibited by these new compounds in the following order: 22-oxa-1 alpha,25-(OH)2D3 greater than 22-oxa-1 alpha-(OH)D3 greater than 1 alpha,25-(OH)2D3 greater than 20-oxa-1 alpha,25-(OH)2D3. 22-Oxa-1 alpha,25-(OH)2D3 was about 10-times more inhibitory than 1 alpha,25-(OH)2D3. Proliferation of psoriatic fibroblasts was not inhibited by 1 alpha,25-(OH)2D3 at concentrations of up to 10(-6) M, but was suppressed by 10(-8)-10(-6) M 22-oxa-1 alpha,25-(OH)2D3 and 10(-6) M 22-oxa-1 alpha-(OH)D3. These results suggest that oxa-derivatives of vitamin D3, especially 22-oxa-1 alpha,25-(OH)2D3, should be useful in further studies on the cause and treatment of psoriasis. 相似文献

Since osteocalcin has been suggested to play a role in calcium homeostasis, we investigated its serum levels in 6 healthy subjects during a rapid calcium infusion. Serum levels of intact parathyroid hormone (PTH), 25-hydroxyvitamin D [25-(OH) D3] and 1,25-dihydroxyvitamin D [1,25-(OH)2 D3] were also determined. The calcium infusion increased plasma-ionized calcium levels from 1.25 +/- 0.04 to 1.54 +/- 0.07 mmol/l at 30 min (p less than 0.05). Concomitantly, serum levels of intact PTH declined from 2.1 +/- 0.9 to 0.2 +/- 0.3 mmol/l (p less than 0.05). In contrast, serum osteocalcin levels did not change. Further, during calcium infusion, serum levels of 1,25-(OH)2 D3 decreased from 81 +/- 17 to 75 +/- 15 pmol/l (p less than 0.05) whereas serum levels of 25-(OH) D3 did not change. The results therefore suggest that calcium per se does not influence osteocalcin secretion. 相似文献

Association of 1,25-dihydroxyvitamin D3 with cultured 3T6 mouse fibroblasts. Cellular uptake and receptor-mediated migration to the nucleus 总被引:5,自引:0,他引:5
The uptake of 1,25-dihydroxyvitamin D3 (1,25-(OH)2D3) by intact cells was investigated using the cultured embryonic 3T6 mouse fibroblast as a model. Suspended cells, incubated for 60-90 min in serum-containing culture medium supplemented with 1,25-(OH)2D3 (2 nM), maximally accumulate hormone which becomes bound to a typical vitamin D 3.3 S receptor protein. Incubation of cells with varying concentrations of 1,25-(OH)2D3 reveals the presence of 21,000 receptor molecules/3T6 cell, with an apparent uptake constant of 6-8 X 10(-10) M at 37 degrees C. This value contrasts with the equilibrium dissociation constant (Kd) for 1,25-(OH)2D3 binding of 6 X 10(-11) M as determined at 2 degrees C in disrupted cell cytosol. The distribution of unoccupied (R0) receptors is predominantly (greater than 85%) cytosolic in the hormone-deprived state (1,25-(OH)2D3 less than 0.05 nM), whereas exposure to 1,25-(OH)2D3 (2 nM) leads to almost complete nuclear localization of the occupied receptor at both 2 and 37 degrees C. This phenomenon was similarly supported through reconstitution of receptor and purified 3T6 nuclei in vitro in which binding also occurs at 2 degrees C. The majority (65%) of intact cell-formed receptor-nuclear complexes can be solubilized by micrococcal nuclease treatment, suggesting the participation of DNA in the acceptor binding site for the 1,25-(OH)2D3 receptor. Consistent with these data, DNA-binding of receptor also occurred in vitro at 2 degrees C and was a characteristic of both occupied (Rs) and unoccupied receptors. However, elution of the latter occurred at reduced ionic strength, implying that the hormone does physically alter the receptor protein. This binding was also sensitive to prior ethidium bromide saturation of DNA-cellulose, but not phosphocellulose. Although the biologic effects of the 1,25-(OH)2D3 hormone in 3T6 fibroblasts are as yet unknown, the present findings support previous work with 1,25-(OH)2D3 receptors and suggest that this cell represents a good model for the study of nuclear events associated with the molecular action of 1,25-(OH)2D3. 相似文献

Pharmacological dissection of components of the Valsalva maneuver in adrenergic failure. 总被引:1,自引:0,他引:1
The arterial blood pressure (BP) components of the Valsalva maneuver (VM) were analyzed to ascertain whether they could be used as an index of adrenergic regulation of the circulation. We studied a control and three age- and sex-matched patient groups. Sympathetic adrenergic failure was graded on the basis of the degree of systolic BP (SBP) reduction during tilt: orthostatic hypotension (OH; SBP greater than 30 mmHg), borderline OH (BOH; 30 less than SBP greater than 10 mmHg), and sympathetic sudomotor failure (SSF). Controls exhibited a biphasic phase II, consisting of a modest decrement (early phase II) followed by a rise in BP (late phase II; II1) above resting values. All the patient groups including SSF exhibited a significant reduction in II1. An excessive BP fall in phase II and an absent phase IV overshoot were observed in the OH group. BOH and, to a lesser extent, SSF groups showed a significant reduction in phase IV overshoot. We conclude that BP changes during VM will detect adrenergic vasoconstrictor failure with greater sensitivity than orthostatic BP recordings. 相似文献

Cells obtained from male quail kidneys by digestion with collagenase and hyaluronidase were plated and maintained in a chemically defined, serum-free medium. Culture dishes (35 mm) were inoculated with 1.5 . 10(6) cells which became confluent in 5 days. The cells maintained an epithelial-like morphology over the entire culture period. During a 2 h incubation the cells metabolized 25--30% of the 10 nM 25-hydroxyvitamin D-3 (25-OH-D-3) provided. Seven metabolites were chromatographically separated on Sephadex LH-20. Three have been identified as 1 alpha, 25-dihydroxyvitamin D-3 (1,25(OH)2D-3), 24,25-dihydroxyvitamin D-3 (24,25(OH)2D-3) and 1 alpha, 24,25-trihhydroxyvitamin D-3 (1,24,25(OH)3D-3). The activities of the 25-OH-D-3:1 alpha- and 24-hydroxylases increased eight times faster than the cell number in 5 days. Preincubation of the cells with 10 nM 25-OH-D-3 or 1,25(OH)2D-3 decreased 1,25(OH)2D-3 synthesis, and increased both 24,25(OH)2D-3 and metabolite IV synthesis. The decrease in 25-OH-D-3:1 alpha-hydroxylase activity required a 2 h preincubation with 25-OH-D-3, while stimulation of 25-OH-D-3:24-hydroxylase activity and metabolite IV production required a 6 h preincubation. Incubations of cells for 1 h with parathyroid hormone resulted in a 30-fold increase in cyclic AMP in the medium. A 6 h preincubation with parathyroid hormone decreased 24,25(OH)2D-3) synthesis 50% relative to control cells. These results demonstrate the amenability of this system for studying the regulation of 25-OH-D-3 metabolism, as well as its use for other in vitro studies on renal cell function in a chemically defined culture system. 相似文献

A study of mixed apatites of the type Ca10(PO4)6-x(OH)2 has been undertaken in order to obtain an insight into the structural consequences of the incorporation of vanadium in the inorganic phase of bone. The crystallographic analysis as well as the vibrational spectra of these “models,” show that low or moderate VO43− concentration does not produce any lattice distortion and has little effect on the strength of the P-O and O-H bonds. This study has also shown that the incorporation of VO43− ions in the Ca10(PO4)6(OH)2 matrix at low temperatures is only possible if the hydroxyapatite is in the amorphous state. 相似文献

1alpha, 25-Dihydroxycholecalciferol (1,25-(OH)2D3), the active form of vitamin D, like other steroid hormones, initiates its action by binding to cytoplasmic receptors in target cells. Although the 1,25-(OH)2D3 receptor has been well studied in intestine, little information beyond sucrose gradient analyses is presently available from mammalian bone. We, therefore, employed primary cultures of mouse calvarial cells to characterize the mammalian receptor in bone. A hypertonic molybdate-containing buffer was found to protect receptor binding. On hypertonic sucrose gradients, the 1,25-(OH)2-[3H]D3 binder sedimented at 3.2 S. Scatchard analysis of specific 1,25-(OH)2[3H]D3 binding sites at 0 degrees C yielded an apparent Kd of 0.26 nM and an Nmax of 75 fmol/mg of cytosol protein. Competitive binding experiments revealed the receptor to prefer 1,25-(OH)2D3 greater than 25-(OH)-D3 = 1 alpha-(OH)-D3 greater than 24R,25-(OH)2D3; vitamin D3, dihydrotachysterol, sex steroids, and glucocorticoids exhibited negligible binding. As shown in other systems, the receptor could be distinguished from a 25-(OH)-[3H]D3 binder which sedimented at approximately 6 S. In summary, cultured mouse calvarial cells possess a macromolecule with receptor-like properties. This system appears to be an ideal model for the investigation of 1,25-(OH)2D3 receptor binding and action in mammalian bone. 相似文献

DFT modeling, UV-Vis and IR spectroscopic study of acetylacetone-modified zirconia sol-gel materials
Theoretical and spectroscopic studies of a series of monomeric and dimeric complexes formed through the modification of a zirconium butoxide precursor with acetylacetone and subsequent hydrolysis and/or condensation have been performed by applying DFT/B3LYP/6-31++G(d) and highly accurate RI-ADC(2) methods as well as IR and UV-Vis transmittance and diffuse reflectance spectroscopies. Based on DFT model calculations and simulated and experimental UV-Vis and IR spectra of all the studied structures, the most probable building units of the Zr(IV)-AcAc gel were predicted: the dimeric double hydroxo-bridged complex Zr(2)(AcAc)(2)(OH)(4)(OH)(2br) 9 and the monooxo-bridged complex Zr(2)(AcAc)(2)(OH)(4)O(br)·2H(2)O 12. In both structures, the two AcAc ligands are coordinated to one Zr atom. It was shown that building units 9 and 12 determine the photophysical and vibrational properties of the gel material. The observed UV-Vis and IR spectra of Zr(IV)-AcAc gel were interpreted and a relation between the spectroscopic and structural data was derived. The observed UV-Vis bands at 315 nm and 298/288 nm were assigned to partial ligand-metal transitions and to intra-/inter-AcAc ligand transitions, respectively. 相似文献

Vitamin D compounds added to the culture medium induce HL-60 cells to differentiate into macrophage/monocytes via a receptor mechanism. This system provides a biologically relevant assay for the study of biopotency of vitamin D analogs. Using this system, the biological activity of various fluorinated derivatives of vitamin D3 was compared with that of 1,25-dihydroxyvitamin D3 (1,25-(OH)2D3). As assessed by cell morphology, nitroblue tetrazolium reduction and nonspecific esterase activity, 26,26,26,27,27,27-hexafluoro-1,25-dihydroxyvitamin D3 (26,27-F6-1,25-(OH)2D3) and 26,26,26,27,27,27-hexafluoro-1,24-dihydroxyvitamin D3 (26,27-F6-1,24-(OH)2D3) were about 10 times as potent as 1,25-(OH)2D3 in suppressing HL-60 cell proliferation and inducing cell differentiation. The biological activity of 26,26,26,27,27,27-hexafluoro-1-hydroxyvitamin D3 (26,27-F6-1-OH-D3) was equal to that of 1,25-(OH)2D3 in this system. 1,25-(OH)2D3 and its fluorinated analogs exerted their effects on HL-60 cells in a dose-dependent manner. HL-60 cells have a specific receptor for 1,25-(OH)2D3 with an apparent Kd of 0.25 nM, identical with that of chick intestinal receptor. While the binding affinities of 26,27-F6-1,25-(OH)2D3 and 26,27-F6-1,24-(OH)2D3 for chick intestinal receptor were lower than that of 1,25-(OH)2D3 by factors of 3 and 1.5, respectively, they were as competent as 1,25-(OH)2D3 in binding to HL-60 cell receptor. The ability of 26,27-F6-1-OH-D3 to compete for receptor protein from HL-60 cells and chick intestine was about 1/70 that of 1,25-(OH)2D3. These results indicate that trifluorination of carbons 26 and 27 of vitamin D3 can markedly enhance the effect on HL-60 cells. 相似文献

A method for isolation of the ribosomal fraction (RF) from the cytoplasm of type-A C. perfringens strain BP6K was developed and its chemical and antigenic properties characterized. RF has been found to possess protective properties: two subcutaneous immunizations of mice with RF preparations adsorbed on Al(OH)3 in doses of 250 and 500 micrograms (dry weight) has ensured, on the average, the protection of 41.9% of the immunized animals from 1 DCL of type-A C. perfringens strain BP6K culture. 相似文献
