Proliferation of three murine marrow-derived stromal cell lines, LC1, LC2, and LC3, depended on initial cell density. For LC2 and LC3, the cell density-dependence was negated by conditioned-media, indicating growth dependence on a soluble growth factor. For LC1, conditioned-media failed to stimulate proliferation, suggesting growth dependence on direct cell-cell contact. 相似文献

Camarodont sea urchins possess a rapidly evolving actin gene family whose
members are expressed in distinct cell lineages in a developmentally
regulated fashion. Evolutionary changes in the actin gene family of
echinoids include alterations in number of family members, site of
expression, and gene linkage, and a dichotomy between rapidly and slowly
evolving isoform-specific 3' untranslated regions. We present sequence
comparisons and an analysis of the actin gene family in two congeneric sea
urchins that develop in radically different modes, Heliocidaris
erythrogramma and H. tuberculata. The sequences of several actin genes from
the related species Lytechinus variegatus are also presented. We compare
the features of the Heliocidaris and Lytechinus actin genes to those of the
the actin gene families of other closely related sea urchins and discuss
the nature of the evolutionary changes among sea urchin actins and their
relationship to developmental mode.

Stable expression of mammalian beta 1,4-galactosyltransferase extends the N-glycosylation pathway in insect cells 总被引:5,自引:2,他引:3
An established lepidopteran insect cell line (Sf9) was cotransfected with
expression plasmids encoding neomycin phosphotransferase and bovine beta
1,4-galactosyltransferase. Neomycin-resistant transformants were selected,
assayed for beta 1,4-galactosyltransferase activity, and the transformant
with the highest level of enzymatic activity was characterized. Southern
blots indicated that this transformed Sf9 cell derivative contained
multiple copies of the galactosyltransferase- encoding expression plasmid
integrated at a single site in its genome. One-step growth curves showed
that these cells supported normal levels of baculovirus replication.
Baculovirus infection of the transformed cells stimulated beta
1,4-galactosyltransferase activity almost 5-fold by 12 h postinfection.
This was followed by a gradual decline in activity, but the infected cells
still had about as much activity as uninfected controls as late as 48 h
after infection and they were able to produce a beta 1,4-galactosylated
virion glycoprotein during infection. Infection of the transformed cells
with a conventional recombinant baculovirus expression vector encoding
human tissue plasminogen activator also resulted in the production of a
galactosylated end-product. These results demonstrate that stable
transformation can be used to add a functional mammalian
glycosyltransferase to lepidopteran insect cells and extend their N-
glycosylation pathway. Furthermore, stably-transformed insect cells can be
used as modified hosts for conventional baculovirus expression vectors to
produce foreign glycoproteins with "mammalianized" glycans which more
closely resemble those produced by higher eucaryotes.

Activity of the enzyme choline acetyltransferase (CAT), which mediates the synthesis of the neurotransmitter, acetylcholine, was increased up to 20- fold in spinal cord (SC) cells grown in culture with muscle cells for 2 wk. This increase was directly related to the duration of co-culture as well as to the cell density of both the SC and muscle involved and was not affected by the presence of the acetylcholine receptor blocking agent, α-bungarotoxin. Glutamic acid decarboxylase (GAD) activity was often markedly decreased in SC-muscle cultures while the activities of acetylcholinesterase and several other enzymes were little changed. Increased CAT activity was also observed when SC cultures were maintained in medium which had been conditioned by muscle cells or by undifferentiated cells from embryonic muscle. Muscle-conditioned medium (CM) did not affect the activities of SC cell GAD or acetylcholinesterase. Dilution or concentration of the CM directly affected its ability to increase SC CAT activity , as did the duration and timing of exposure of the SC cells to the CM. The medium could be conditioned by muscle cells in the presence or absence of serum, and remained effective after dialysis or heating to 58 degrees C. Membrane filtration data were consistent with the conclusion that the active material(s) in CM had a molecular weight in excess of 50,000 daltons. We conclude that large molecular weight material that is released by muscle cells is capable of producing a specific increase in CAT activity of SC cells. 相似文献

We recently reported that bile salts play a role in the regulation of mucin
secretion by cultured dog gallbladder epithelial cells. In this study we
have examined whether bile salts also influence mucin secretion by the
human epithelial colon cell line LS174T. Solutions of bile salts were
applied to monolayers of LS174T cells. Mucin secretion was quantified by
measuring the secretion of [3H]GlcNAc labeled glycoproteins. Both
unconjugated bile salts as well as taurine conjugated bile salts stimulated
mucin secretion by the colon cells in a dose-dependent fashion. Hydrophobic
bile salts were more potent stimulators than hydrophilic bile salts. Free
(unconjugated) bile salts were more stimulatory compared with their taurine
conjugated counterparts. Stimulation of mucin secretion by LS174T cells was
found to occur at much lower bile salt concentrations than in the
experiments with the dog gallbladder epithelial cells. The protein kinase C
activators PMA and PDB had no stimulatory effect on mucin secretion. We
conclude that mucin secretion by the human colon epithelial cell line
LS174T is regulated by bile salts. We suggest that regulation of mucin
secretion by bile salts might be a common mechanism, by which different
epithelia protect themselves against the detergent action of bile salts, to
which they are exposed throughout the gastrointestinal tract.

The Late Jurassic to Early Cretaceous genus Tritaenia Maegdefrau et Rudolf 1969 is problematic because of: (1) missing authentic material of its type species, T. linkii (Roemer 1839) Maegdefrau et Rudolf; and (2) Watson and Harrison's (1998) synonymization of T. linkii with Pseudotorellia heterophylla Watson. This paper: (1) rectifies the status of T. linkii on the basis of newly recovered specimens carrying the original author's authentication; and (2) gives the basis for rejecting Watson and Harrison's claim that T. linkii and T. crassa (Seward) Bose et Manum 1991 represent linear leaves of the heterophyllous taxon Pseudotorellia heterophylla. The three species of Tritaenia known to date (T. crassa, T. linkii, T. scotica) are reviewed, and the genus is compared with other Mesozoic so-called 'Sciadopitys-like' hypostomatic leaves with a median stomatal zone, many of which occur in mass accumulations such as T. linkii. Deciduousness is indicated for T. linkii and T. crassa by their occurrence in mass accumulations and the possession of well-developed abscission scars. Known mass accumulations of fossil foliage are reviewed and their implications for palaeoenvironmental interpretations discussed. 相似文献

Yeast cells growing in the presence of glucose or a related rapidly-fermented sugar differ strongly in a variety of physiological properties compared to cells growing in the absence of glucose. Part of these differences appear to be caused by the protein kinase A (PKA) and related signal transduction pathways. Addition of glucose to cells previously deprived of glucose triggers cAMP accumulation, which is apparently mediated by the Gpr1-Gpa2 G-protein coupled receptor system. However, the resulting effect on PKA-controlled properties is only transient when there is no complete growth medium present. When an essential nutrient is lacking, the cells arrest in the stationary phase G0. At the same time they acquire all characteristics of cells with low PKA activity, even if there is ample glucose present. When the essential nutrient is added again, a similar PKA-dependent protein phosphorylation cascade is triggered as observed after addition of glucose to glucose-deprived cells, but which is not cAMP-mediated. Because the pathway involved requires a fermentable carbon source and a complete growth medium, at least for its sustained activation, it has been called “fermentable growth medium (FGM)-induced pathway.” 相似文献
