p~(53)基因在U 937细胞生长和分化过程中的调节作用

本文报道了p~(53)基因对人白血病细胞系U 937细胞生长和分化的调节作用。重组人GM-CSF(rhGM-CSF)可诱导U 937细胞向成熟巨噬细胞分化,这反映在分化后的细胞表达有巨噬细胞许多表型特征和功能活性。在这一分化过程中同时伴随着p~(53)基因的表达增加和U 937细胞生长受抑。进一步,用反义脱氧寡聚核苷酸抑制试验特异性地抑制p~(53)基因表达,结果发现p~(53)反义脱氧寡聚核苷酸可以明显抑制rhGM-CSF诱导U 937细胞向成熟巨噬细胞分化,同时也明显解除rhGM-CSF介导细胞分化过程中的细胞生长抑制作用。这些结果说明p~(53)基因在U 937细胞的生长和分化过程中可能起偶联调控作用。

柴胡提取物诱导人类白血病细胞HL-60的细胞凋亡及其机理研究

柴胡提取物诱导人类白血病细胞HL-60的细胞凋亡从而抑制其细胞生长.为了研究该过程的作用机理,我们研究了丝裂原活化蛋白激酶(MAPKs),包括胞外信号调节激酶(ERK1/2),c-jun氨基末端蛋白激酶(JNK)和p38丝裂原活化蛋白激酶(MAPK),在该过程中的磷酸化特征与动态变化.结果表明,柴胡提取物显著的增加了p38丝裂原活化蛋白激酶和胞外信号调节激酶(ERK1/2)的磷酸化作用,其增加值在测试范围内与测试剂量和作用时间成正相关,但在柴胡提取物诱导人类白血病细胞HL-60的细胞凋亡过程中,没有发现对氨基末端蛋白激酶(JNK)表现出磷酸化活性.柴胡提取物诱导白血病HL-60的细胞凋亡部分归结于对p38丝裂原活化蛋白激酶的上调节作用,这种上调节作用能够受到p38 MAPK特异性的抑制剂SB203580的部分逆转,而MEK的抑制剂U0126则对柴胡提取物诱导HL-60细胞凋亡过程中的胞外信号调节激酶(ERK1/2)的磷酸化具有显著的协同效应.这是首次报道柴胡提取物在诱导人白血病细胞HL-60细胞凋亡过程中参与p38丝裂原活化蛋白激酶的磷酸化,同时柴胡提取物作为胞外信号调节激酶(ERK1/2)抑制剂的协同作用物具有相应的药物学功能.

Intracellular Ca2+ mobilization in immature and more mature U937 induced to differentiate by dimethyl sulfoxide or phorbol myristate acetate

Intracellular Ca2+ mobilization in U937 cells was studied. Stimulation of immature U937 cells with leukotriene B4 (LTB4) increased intracellular Ca2+ levels, whereas stimulation with N-formyl-methionyl-leucyl-phenylalanine (fMLP) failed to increase intracellular Ca2+ levels. U937 cells cultured with 1.5% dimethyl sulfoxide (DMSO) for 4 days (DMSO-U937 cells) responded to LTB4 and possessed the ability to respond to fMLP. U937 cells cultured with 1 ng/ml phorbol myristate acetate (PMA) for 4 days (PMA-U937 cells) lost the ability to respond to LTB4, although they responded to fMLP. Treatment of DMSO-U937 cells with 100 ng/ml PMA for 3 min suppressed intracellular Ca2+ increase induced by LTB4 and fMLP. The fMLP-induced Ca2+ rise in PMA-U937 cells was not suppressed by a further treatment with 100 ng/ml PMA. DMSO-U937 cells responded to inositol 1,4,5-trisphosphate (IP3), indicating that IP3 functions as a messenger of intracellular Ca2+ mobilization from endoplasmic reticulum in U937. The magnitude and duration of the rise in Ca2+ induced by IP3 in DMSO-U937 cells treated with 100 ng/ml PMA for 3 min were similar to those of the controls. When DMSO-U937 cells were Ca2+-depleted, addition of Ca2+ resulted in a transient overshoot of Ca2+ influx. However, the transient overshoot was not observed, when PMA-U937 cells were tested. These results indicate that Ca2+ efflux in PMA-U937 cells is increased by an activated exit pump, which may be directly or indirectly related to the functional state of PMA-U937 cells.     

HFCL细胞对U937细胞的诱导分化作用

Co-inoculation of prostate cancer cells with U937 enhances tumor growth and angiogenesis in vivo

Tumor-associated macrophages (TAMs) have been implicated in promoting tumor growth and development. Here we present evidence that demonstrates that co-inoculation of male athymic nude mice with PC-3 prostate cancer cells and U937 promonocytic cells enhances tumor growth and increases tumor angiogenesis. Male athymic nude mice were co-inoculated with PC-3 and U937 cells (control or IL-4 stimulated) and tumor growth was monitored over time. Immunohistochemical analysis of tumor specimens was performed for proliferation markers (e.g., Ki67) and the effects of IL-4 stimulation on U937 cells were analyzed for chemokine expression. The presence of U937 cells increased the rate of tumor growth in vivo and stimulated increased microvascular density within the tumor bed. Stimulation of U937 cells with IL-4 resulted in a significant increase in several pro-angiogenic and pro-tumor chemokines (e.g., CCL2). Co-inoculation increases prostate cancer growth via upregulation of chemokines that induce angiogenesis within the tumor.     

PHA激活的脐血T细胞条件培养液对人骨髓CFU—C的抑制

Cord blood T cells were enriched by nylon wool colomn, and effects of PHA-stimulated T cell supernatant collected from 18 h to 7 days on the proliferation of CFU-c were studied. The results showed that the supernatant collected at 18 h (PHA-TCM) could significantly inhibit the growth of CFU-c and the inhibition was PHA-TCM dose dependent, suggesting there is a CFU-c inhibitory activity in PHA-TCM. Kinetic studies demonstrated that the activity was decreased in the supernatant collected at 48 h and disappeared at 7 days. On the other hand, unstimulated T cell supernatant and PHA alone had no inhibitory effect on CFU-c growth. Indomethacin did not affect the production of the inhibitory activity and no interferon activity could be detected in PHA-TCM. These suggested that the inhibition was mediated by a non-interferon, non-prostaglandin suppressor. Further studies revealed that the suppressor was a protein stable at 56 degrees C and lost in pH 2 and pH 11 for 3 h, its molecular weight was large than 10,000 dolton.     

Ectopic expression of CXCR5/BLR1 accelerates retinoic acid- and vitamin D(3)-induced monocytic differentiation of U937 cells

The product of the blr1 gene is a CXC chemokine receptor (CXCR5) that regulates B lymphocyte migration and has been implicated in myelomonocytic differentiation. The U937 human leukemia cell line was used to study the role of blr1 in retinoic acid-regulated monocytic leukemia cell growth and differentiation. blr1 mRNA expression was induced within 12 hr by retinoic acid in U937 cells. To determine whether the early induction of blr1 might regulate inducible monocytic cell differentiation, U937 cells were stably transfected with blr1 (U937/blr1 cells). Ectopic expression of blr1 caused no significant cell cycle or differentiation changes, but caused the U937/blr1 cells to differentiate faster when treated with either retinoic acid or 1alpha,25-dihydroxyvitamin D(3). Treated with retinoic acid, U937/blr1 cells showed a greater increase in the percentage of CD11b expressing cells than vector control cells. Retinoic acid also induced a higher percentage of functionally differentiated blr1 transfectants as assessed by nitroblue tetrazolium reduction. U937/blr1 cells underwent moderate growth inhibition on treatment with retinoic acid. Similar results occurred with 1alpha,25-dihydroxyvitamin D(3). Because blr1 was induced early during cell differentiation and because its overexpression accelerated monocytic differentiation, it may be important for signals controlling cell differentiation.     

Differential effects of ETYA, a PUFA-analogue, on prostate (PC3) and monoblastoid U937 ultrastructure; lack of correlation with reduced proliferation.

ETYA (5,8,11,14-eicosatetraynoic acid), a polyunsaturated fatty acid analogue, inhibits proliferation of PC3 and U937 cells and induces a limited differentiation in U937 cells. Human prostate PC3 cells cultured for 72 h with 40 microM ETYA in fetal calf serum contained putative lipofuscin bodies, myelin figures and mitochondria with damaged cristae and matrices. These changes were absent from human U937 monoblastoid cells incubated with ETYA in CPSR3, a semipurified serum replacement. U937 cells cultured with ETYA in fetal calf serum contained occasional lipofuscin bodies, while PC3 cells cultured in CPSR3 exhibited all of the changes described. ETYA reduced the oxygen consumption of both cell lines. Therefore we conclude: (a) The response to ETYA by cells of dissimilar developmental origin is not identical; (b) unidentified serum components can augment potential ETYA-induced oxidative stress-responses of cells; (c) inhibition of U937 proliferation by ETYA does not depend upon the morphologic changes seen in PC3 cells, which resemble sequelae of oxidative stress with excess free radicals; and (d) rapid ETYA-induced inhibition of oxygen consumption in both cell lines implies a reduced synthesis of ATP that could contribute to the reversible impairment of cellular proliferation.     

Regulation of the growth and differentiation of a human monocytic cell line by lymphokines. I. Induction of superoxide anion production and chemiluminescence

The U937 human monocytic cell line was studied to determine its ability to generate a respiratory burst after stimulation with phorbol myristate acetate (PMA) or opsonized zymosan. U937 cells cultured in normal medium produced virtually no superoxide anion or chemiluminescence in response to either stimulus. In contrast, U937 cells cultured in medium containing soluble factors from activated lymphocytes produced significant O2- and chemiluminescence when stimulated with PMA or opsonized zymosan. The chemiluminescence in response to PMA was maximal in U937 cells precultured with these soluble factors for 3 days, whereas maximal responsiveness to opsonized zymosan was not observed until 5 to 6 days of lymphokine exposure. Although this ability to generate a respiratory burst persisted for a number of days in U937 cells that were subsequently recultured in normal medium, this responsiveness was gradually lost in the continued absence of these factors. The data indicate that the U937 monocytic cell line can be activated or induced to differentiate by soluble factors released by activated lymphocytes. In the process, these cells acquire the ability to generate a respiratory burst. The U937 cell line may serve as a useful model for the study of the ontogeny and regulation of the respiratory burst during human monocytic differentiation.     

Phorbol ester inhibits DNA damage-induced apoptosis in U937 cells through activation of protein kinase C

The effects of phorbol 12-myristate 13-acetate (PMA) on DNA damage-induced apoptosis were examined in promyelocytic leukemia cells, U937, in comparison with other differentiation-inducing agents to clarify the role of protein kinase C (PKC) vis-a-vis cellular differentiation in apoptosis. The apoptosis of U937 cells was observed at as early as 1-1.5 h following UV irradiation, with most cells being in apoptotic state at 3 h. Pretreatment with PMA for as short as 5 min was sufficient to inhibit apoptosis induced by UV irradiation, whereas apparent changes in cell cycle distributions and expression of differentiation markers by PMA were not observed until 12 h and 48 h, respectively. The inhibition of apoptosis by PMA was completely abolished by the pretreatment with calphostin C, a PKC inhibitor, and 4 alpha-phorbor 12,13-didecanoate, which is unable to activate PKC, did not protect U937 cells against apoptosis induced by UV irradiation. Other differentiation inducers, such as cyclic AMP and active vitamin D3, did not affect the UV-induced apoptosis of U937 cells. Taken together, it was suggested that PMA inhibits DNA damage-induced apoptosis through the activation of PKC rather than as a result of differentiation of U937 cells.
