ATA affects only slightly DNA synthesis of continuously replicating cells. A single injection of the drug reduces the incorporation of (3H)-thymidine into DNA of crypt cells to only 62% of the control. The effect on DNA synthesis is preceded by a slight inhibition of protein synthesis, and by a partial decrease in the number of dividing cells. On the contrary, the incorporation of (3H)-uridine into RNA was enhanced. Electron microscopic studies revealed no cytologic abnormalities in ATA-treated animals. In view of the fact that ATA at the same concentration inhibits DNA synthesis of growth stimulated cells to 100% (Novi, 1976), it was suggested that the drug may become an useful tool in inducing a preferential inhibition of growth stimulation. 相似文献

Aflatoxin B1 in concentrations between 0.01 and 0.1 microgram/ml inhibits DNA synthesis in African green monkey cells in culture, but has little effect on RNA synthesis and no effect on protein synthesis. The drug even at concentrations up to 1.0 microgram/ml does not interfere with DNA repair promoted by ultraviolet irradiation nor does it induce DNA repair. The inhibition of DNA synthesis attains maximum values 3 h after addition of aflatoxin B1 and is irreversible upon removal of the drug. Profiles of pulselabeled DNA sedimented in alkaline sucrose gradients indicate that aflatoxin B1 blocks initiation of replication rather than elongation. 相似文献

Specific aspects of the prolactin stimulation of RNA, DNA and protein synthesis in the Nb2 node lymphoma cell line were determined. In time sequence studies the onset of the prolactin stimulation of the incorporation of radiolabeled precursors into these macromolecules was found to be 0.5-1 h for [3H]uridine incorporation into RNA, 1-2 h for [3H]leucine incorporation into protein, and 4-8 h for [3H]thymidine incorporation into DNA. The total DNA content of the cell cultures was increased by 12-18 hours after addition of prolactin. Amiloride, an inhibitor of the plasma-membrane-bound Na+/H+ antiporter, was found to inhibit the mitogenic effects of prolactin. Amiloride was also found to inhibit the prolactin stimulation of DNA, RNA and protein synthesis, thus suggesting that the initial regulation of the Na+/H+ antiporter may initiate these responses as well as the mitogenic effect of prolactin. In contrast, H-7, a drug which inhibits protein kinase C, had no effect on the magnitude of the prolactin stimulation of DNA, RNA or protein synthesis at a drug concentration (100 muM) that abolished the mitogenic effect of prolactin. The early effects of prolactin on RNA, DNA and protein synthesis would therefore appear not to involve an activation of protein kinase C. 相似文献

We examined epinephrine- and isoproterenol-stimulated DNA synthesis in primary cultured hepatocytes from 6-, 12-, and 24-month-old rats. Epinephrine-stimulated DNA synthesis in 6-month-old rat hepatocytes began after 20 h and reached a maximum at 50 h. Similarly, isoproterenol-stimulated DNA synthesis in 6-month-old rat hepatocytes began after 10 h and reached a maximum at 45 h. In contrast, both epinephrine- and isoproterenol-stimulated DNA synthesis in 12- and 24-month-old rat hepatocytes were reduced approximately 40–60% and 80%, respectively, as compared to that at 6 months. Both epinephrine- and isoproterenol-stimulated DNA synthesis were strongly inhibited by the betaadrenergic antagonist, propranolol, but not by the alpha1-adrenergic antagonist, prazosin, or the alpha2-adrenergic antagonist, yohimbine. However, in the presence of EGF, epinephrine-stimulated DNA synthesis activity was inhibited by prazosin but not by propranolol. These results indicate that stimulated DNA synthesis in rat hepatocytes declines with age and that there are two different pathways for epinephrine-stimulated DNA synthesis in the presence or absence of EGF. © 1994 Wiley-Liss, Inc. 1 This article is a US Government work and, as such, is in the Public domain in the United States of America. 相似文献

Novobiocin and nalidixic acid, inhibitors of the bacterial enzyme DNA gyrase, inhibit DNA, RNA and protein synthesis in several human and rodent cell lines. The sensitivity of DNA synthesis (both replicative and repair) to inhibition by novobiocin and nalidixic acid is greater than that of protein synthesis. Novobiocin inhibits RNA synthesis about half as effectively as it does DNA synthesis, whereas nalidixic acid inhibits both equally well. Replicative DNA synthesis, as measured by incorporation of [3H]thymidine, is blocked by novobiocin in a number of cell strains; the inhibition is reversible with respect to both DNA synthesis and cell killing, and continues for as long as 20--30 h if the cells are kept in novobiocin-containing growth medium. Both novobiocin and nalidixic acid inhibit repair DNA synthesis (measured by BND-cellulose chromatography) induced by ultraviolet light or N-methyl-N'-nitro-N-nitrosoguanidine (but not that induced by methyl methanesulfonate) at lower concentration (as low as 5 micrograms/ml) than those required to inhibit replicative DNA synthesis (50 micrograms/ml or greater). Neither novobiocin nor nalidixic acid alone induces DNA repair synthesis. Incubation of ultraviolet-irradiated cells with 10--100 micrograms/ml novobiocin results in little, if any, further reduction of colony-forming ability (beyond that caused by the ultraviolet irradiation). Novobiocin at sufficiently low concentrations (200 micrograms/ml) apparently generates a quiescent state (in terms of cellular DNA metabolism) from which recovery is possible. Under more drastic conditions of time in contact with cells and concentration, however, novobiocin itself induces mammalian cell killing. 相似文献

Summary Synthesis of DNA in Lactobacillus acidophilus R-26 was investigated in the presence of rifampicin which inhibits RNA and protein synthesis. Increments in DNA of between 140 and 200% were found under these conditions. Indirect evidence is presented that these large increments are not due to the presence of several replication points in the bacterial chromosome at the time of addition of the drug. Incubation with rifampicin was found to result in a progressive decrease in the capacity for DNA synthesis. This decrease was independent of the amount of DNA synthesized during incubation with rifampicin but was dependent on the time of incubation in the presence of the drug. It is proposed that inhibition of protein and RNA synthesis in L. acidophilus does not inhibit initiation of new cycles of chromosome replication but results in a progressive loss of the capacity to replicate DNA. 相似文献

Summary The replication of simian virus 40 DNA and protein synthesis in BSC-1 cells was analyzed in vitro after treatment with 5,6-dihydro-5-azacytidine
(DH-5-AzaCR) or 5-azacytidine (5-AzaCR). Results demonstrated that after a 3-h treatment period with 100 μg/ml, DH-5-AzaCR
exhibited a 77% inhibition of viral DNA synthesis, whereas 5-AzaCR resulted in a 50% inhibition. Stimulation of DNA synthesis
occurred when infected cultures were treated with low doses (0.1 to 0.5 μg/ml) of 5-AzaCR for 3h and after 1 and 2 h of treatment
with 100 μg/ml of 5-AzaCR; however, stimulation did not occur with DH-5-AzaCR. DNA synthesized in the presence of either drug
demonstrated altered conformations when analyzed on agarose gels; however this alteration was negligible after DH-5-AzaCR
treatment, but more pronounced in the presence of 5-AzaCR. Restriction enzyme analysis suggests that DH-5-AzaCR may not be
a hypomethylating agent as is 5-AzaCR. Inhibition of total protein synthesis (cellular and viral) was essentially complete
6 h after treatment with DH-5-AzaCR, whereas 5-AzaCR completely inhibited protein synthesis after 3 h. These data indicate
that 5-AzaCR does not exhibit a direct dose relationship to the inhibition of DNA synthesis whereas DH-5-AzaCR may show some
dose relationship, and that DH-5-AzaCR is a more potent inhibitor of DNA synthesis as compared to 5-AzaCR.

Cytotoxic T lymphocyte (CTL)-mediated lysis is accompanied by fragmentation of target cell DNA into an oligonucleosome ladder, a hallmark of apoptosis. Is this a fortuitous coincidence, or could CTL be inducing lysis by activation of the suicide signal? In this report we demonstrate that CTL-mediated target cell death can be blocked with the drug aurintricarboxylic acid (ATA). The abrogation of death correlates with the inhibition of DNA fragmentation. While ATA prevented DNA fragmentation, it failed to significantly alter protein, RNA, or DNA synthesis in the cell lines over the dose range used. In addition, there was no inhibition of cell-cell interaction or granule exocytosis during CTL-mediated killing. ATA also significantly inhibited the cytolysis and DNA fragmentation mediated by isolated cytolytic granules, as well as the granular protein fragmentin. We developed an assay in which target cells could be separated from CTL after binding and programming for lysis. Once they had received the "kiss of death," target cells could be rescued from lysis (as indicated by inhibition of DNA fragmentation and increased target cell viability) by treatment with ATA. These results suggest that ATA blocks target cell death by inhibition of DNA fragmentation, and further, that chromatin degradation is a cause rather than a result of cell death in CTL-mediated lysis. 相似文献

In vitro incorporation of [Me-3H] thymidine and [5-3H] uridine into human platelets was demonstrated. Thymidine incorporation was inhibited by three specific inhibitors of DNA synthesis: hydroxyurea, cytosine arabinoside and daunomycin. The effect was dose-dependent. Uridine uptake by platelets was found to be inhibited by specific inhibitors of RNA synthesis such as actinomycin D, rifampicin and vincristine, the effect of actinomycin D being dose dependent. The drug also led to a time-dependent inhibition of protein synthesis when preincubated with platelets. The platelet RNA profile on polyacrylamide gel was demonstrated to be similar to that of embryonic mouse erythroblast RNA. Synthesis of all three fractions, 28 S, 18 S and 4 S, was inhibited by actinomycin D. These findings show that human platelets are capable of DNA and RNA synthesis, and that these activities play a role in controlling protein synthesis in these cells. Detectable amounts of DNA have been found in whole human platelets, and in isolated mitochondria derived from these cells. Isolated platelet mitochondria incorporated [3H] thymidine and [3H] uridine into their macromolecules. These activities were inhibited by daunomycin and by both rifampicin and actinomycin D, respectively. These results support the assumption that DNA and RNA synthesis found in intact cell preparations takes place most probably in platelet mitochondria. 相似文献

1. The antibiotic lomofungin was found to be a potent inhibitor of both DNA and RNA synthesis in Saccharomyces cerevisiae. Under selected growth conditions inhibition of DNA synthesis by the drug preceded inhibition of RNA synthesis. 2. Although in general lomofungin inhibited synthesis of ribosomal RNA and polydisperse RNA more effectively than that of low-molecular-weight RNA, under certain conditions the drug inhibited almost completely synthesis of both 4S and 5S RNA. 3. Inhibition of both RNA and DNA synthesis may be explained if RNA synthesis is required for DNA synthesis in yeast. Alternatively, lomofungin, in addition to interacting with DNA-dependent RNA polymerase, might interfere with a component(s) of the DNA-synthetic apparatus. The drug may thus prove to be of considerable value in studies of DNA synthesis in eukaryotes. 相似文献

The microtubule (MT)-stabilizing drug, taxol, inhibited human cytomegalovirus (CMV)-initiated cell DNA synthesis by up to 100% in serum-arrested mouse embryo (ME) fibroblasts that were abortively infected by CMV. Taxol concentrations known to increase MT polymerization and to stabilize existing MTs (10 to 20 micrograms/ml) blocked CMV-stimulated cell DNA synthesis, while taxol concentrations of 2.5 micrograms/ml, or less, did not. Taxol maximally inhibited CMV initiation of cell DNA synthesis when added 3 h after virus infection and inhibited this initiation by greater than 50% when added up to 12 h after CMV infection. Control experiments suggest that taxol specifically inhibited CMV-stimulated cell DNA synthesis. Pretreatment of CMV stock with taxol did not reduce the stimulatory effect of CMV on cell DNA synthesis and taxol had no detectable effect on CMV-specific early protein synthesis. Moreover, taxol did not appear to alter thymidine pool sizes, affect cell viability, or compromise the DNA synthetic machinery in CMV-infected cells. Since taxol increases tubulin polymerization and inhibits MT disassembly, these results suggest that dynamic changes in MTs or in the pool of free tubulin subunits are necessary for CMV to stimulate cell entry into a proliferative cycle. 相似文献

Aphidicolin inhibits adenovirus DNA replication in HeLa cells and in a cell-free, infected, nuclear extract in which viral DNA is elongated. The compound inhibits alpha DNA polymerase, extensively purified from HeLa cells, but has little or no effect on the beta or gamma DNA polymerases similarly purified. Aphidicolin does not affect thymidine uptake by cells nor does synthesis as it also inhibits DNA replication in uninfected cells. The inhibition by aphidicolin is reversible if the drug is removed within 18 hrs after addition to HeLa or Chinese Hamster Ovary cells but the cells are irreversibly affected if the drug remains for 48 hours. 相似文献

Commercial-grade aurintricarboxylic acid (ATA) inhibits poly(A), poly(C) and viral RNA-directed DNA synthesis by detergent-disrupted virions of Moloney murine leukemia virus. Paper chromatography of crude ATA yields two active components, which appear to behave identically, and at least two inactive components. The concentration of ATA needed to inhibit polymerase activity is proportional to the concentration of viral protein. The inhibition is neither attributable to contaminating heavy metal ions in the ATA preparation nor to chelation by ATA of Mn2+ or Zn2+, the necessary co-factors. Inhibition of the polymerase reaction by ATA greatly increases the Km for the primer [oligo(T)/oligo(dG)], while it only slightly lowers the Vmax and does not affect the Km's for the template [poly(A)/poly(C)] or the substrate (TTP/dGTP). Thus, ATA seems to reduce specifically the affinity of the polymerase for the DNA primer molecule. 相似文献

Baby hamster kidney cells (BHK-21) were exposed to culture filtrates of 4 Fusarium moniliforme isolates containing varying
levels of fumonisin B1 (FMB1) and the effects upon RNA, DNA and protein synthesis were monitored. Cells were also grown on
medium amended with FMB1 only for comparison. After 24 h incubation FMB1 (100 μg/100 ml medium) reduced protein synthesis
by 4% and by 18% after 48 h. Culture filtrates containing the highest levels of FMB1 also caused the greatest inhibition in
protein synthesis after 24 h but after 48 h protein synthesis levels were the same as controls even though the FMB1 level
was 360 μg/100 ml. Only FMB1 reduced DNA synthesis, by 8% after 24 h but after 48 h DNA levels had increased by 40 % over
controls. The culture filtrates containing the highest levels of FMB1 (360 μg/100 ml) reduced DNA synthesis more than 50%
after 24 h and 48 h. Culture filtrates containing lesser amounts of FMB1 in some instances stimulated DNA synthesis and inhibited
it in others. There was also no correlation in the level of FMB1 with the inhibition of RNA synthesis by BHK cells. It appears
that metabolites other than fumonisin produced by F. moniliforme in culture can affect and both stimulate and inhibit RNA,
DNA and protein synthesis by BHK cells.

Zinc ions (10 mM) have been reported previously to inhibit the yeast to mycelium transition in Sporothrix schenckii. Yeast cells of this fungus were harvested, selected by filtration and allowed to form germ tubes in a basal medium with glucose in the presence of 10 mM zinc and the effects of this ion on protein, RNA and DNA synthesis and nuclear division recorded. All of these processes were affected by the addition of 10 mM zinc to the medium. Nevertheless, the inhibition of protein synthesis was observed earlier than that of RNA or DNA synthesis and was of a greater magnitude than that observed for both of these processes. Protein synthesis was inhibited within the first hour after inoculation, at which time this process begins in the control cells. RNA synthesis was inhibited during the 3 to 6 h interval after inoculation, that is, 3 h after the start of this process in the control cells. After 9 h of incubation, the inhibition of protein synthesis had reached its maximum at 70%, while that of RNA synthesis was only 52%. DNA synthesis was slightly inhibited, with maximum inhibition being observed 9 h after inoculation. Nuclear division in cells forming germ tubes in the presence of 10 mM zinc took place with a 3 h delay in relation to the control cells. These observations suggest that the inhibition of protein synthesis might be the most important mechanism by which zinc inhibits the yeast to mycelium transition in S. schenckii. 相似文献

The Escherichia coli dnaC protein is not absolutely required in vivo for bacteriophage phiX174 parental replicative-form synthesis (Kranias and Dumas, 1974). However, when rifampin is present at a concentration that inhibits DNA-dependent RNA polymerase, phiX174 parental replicative-form synthesis is dependent on the dnaC protein activity. We conclude that E. coli DNA-dependent RNA polymerase can substitute for the dnaC protein in phiX174 parental replicative-form DNA synthesis, presumably in its initiation. The implications of this result with respect to the in vitro synthesis of the complementary strand of phiX174 DNA are discussed. 相似文献

Quiescent cells of the central zone region of the rat lens epithelium were stimulated to enter the proliferation cycle by wounding. RNA synthesis and a corresponding increase in poly(A)+/total RNA reached a peak by Hour 4. Cells progressed into the G1B compartment by Hour 10. A rise in protein synthesis began at Hour 8, and onset of DNA synthesis occurred by Hour 14. The timing of cell cycle progression that allowed escape from a dose of X irradiation that completely inhibited DNA synthesis was investigated. A growth-arrest point was identified at Hour 9 where 10 GY of X irradiation given before, but not after, completely inhibited earliest responding cells from entering DNA synthesis on schedule. Increased quantities of cells entered DNA synthesis on schedule as timing of the X irradiation was moved closer to the end of G1. Based on time relationships, the rise in protein synthesis is correlated with the "sufficient" event for the escape. 相似文献

Temperature-sensitive mutants of herpes simplex virus type 1 representing eight DNA-negative complementation groups were grouped into the following three categories based on the viral DNA synthesis patterns after shift-up from the permissive to the nonpermissive temperature and after shift-down from the nonpermissive to the permissive temperature in the presence and absence of inhibitors of RNA and protein synthesis. (i) Viral DNA synthesis was inhibited after shift-up in cells infected with tsB, tsH, and tsJ. After shift-down, tsB- and tsH-infected cells synthesized viral DNA in the absence of de novo RNA and protein synthesis whereas tsJ-infected cells synthesized no viral DNA in the absence of protein synthesis. The B, H, and J proteins appear to be continuously required for the synthesis of viral DNA. (ii) Viral DNA synthesis continued after shift-up in cells infected with tsD and tsK whereas no viral DNA was synthesized after shift-down in the absence of RNA and protein synthesis. Mutants tsD and tsK appear to be defective in early regulatory functions. (iii) Cells infected with tsL, tsS, and tsU synthesized viral DNA after shift-up and after shift-down in the absence of RNA and protein synthesis. The functions of the L, S, and U proteins cannot yet be determined. 相似文献

10−5 M abscisic acid (ABA) completely inhibits germination or (if seeds deprived of integuments are used) embryo elongation in Haplopappus gracilis (Nutt.) Gray. Nevertheless, considerable rates of protein and RNA synthesis were found in embryos grown in abscisic acid, at least during the early hours after sowing. On the contrary, seeds grown in cycloheximide + fusicoccin (a powerful promoter of cell expansion), where protein synthesis is almost completely inhibited, show full protrusion of radicle, thus simulating a "germination" process. These results suggest that some of the most important events involved in seed germination, i.e. protein and RNA synthesis, and cell elongation which leads to radicle protrusion, may not necessarily be linked together and are possibly regulated by different control mechanisms. Moreover, when seeds or embryos are grown in abscisic acid + fusicoccin, protein synthesis is considerable, cell elongation is greater than in water controls at least for 12 h, and germination in its early stages appears to be normal; but DNA synthesis and cell division are not resumed, possibly since some other factor is required. All these findings propose a reevaluation of criteria for defining successful germination. 相似文献
