Phospholipid metabolism plays an important role in cellular regulation by generating second messengers for signal transduction. Many stimuli activate a phospholipase D, which catalyzes the hydrolysis of phosphatidylcholine, producing phosphatidic acid and choline. Here we report that the yeast SP014 gene, which is essential for meiosis [Honigberg, S. M., Conicella, C. & Esposito, R. E. (1992) Genetics 130, 703-716], encodes a phospholipase D. SP014 RNA and protein activity are induced during late meiotic prophase, and the enzyme has properties similar to mammalian phosphatidylinositol 4,5-bisphosphate-regulated phospholipase D. Characterization of an unusual allele of SP014 defines regions of the protein important for enzyme catalysis and regulation. These results implicate phospholipase D signaling in regulating cellular differentiation. 相似文献

The product of the retinoblastoma susceptibility gene, pRb, acts as a tumor suppressor and loss of its function is involved in the development of various types of cancer. DNA tumor viruses are supposed to disturb the normal regulation of the cell cycle by inactivating pRb. However, a direct function of pRb in regulation of the cell cycle has hitherto not been shown. We demonstrate here that the cell cycle-dependent expression of one of the G1-phase cyclins, cyclin D1, is dependent on the presence of a functional Rb protein. Rb-deficient tumor cell lines as well as cells expressing viral oncoproteins (large tumor antigen of simian virus 40, early region 1A of adenovirus, early region 7 of papillomavirus) have low or barely detectable levels of cyclin D1. Expression of cyclin D1, but not of cyclins A and E, is induced by transfection of the Rb gene into Rb-deficient tumor cells. Cotransfection of a reporter gene under the control of the D1 promoter, together with the Rb gene, into Rb-deficient cell lines demonstrates stimulation of the D1 promoter by Rb, which parallels the stimulation of endogenous cyclin D1 gene expression. Our finding that pRb stimulates expression of a key component of cell cycle control, cyclin D1, suggests the existence of a regulatory loop between pRb and cyclin D1 and extends existing models of tumor suppressor function. 相似文献

Liver fibrogenesis is associated with the transition of quiescent hepatocytes and hepatic stellate cells (HSCs) into the cell cycle. Exit from quiescence is controlled by E-type cyclins (cyclin E1 [CcnE1] and cyclin E2 [CcnE2]). Thus, the aim of the current study was to investigate the contribution of E-type cyclins for liver fibrosis in man and mice. Expression of CcnE1, but not of its homolog, CcnE2, was induced in fibrotic and cirrhotic livers from human patients with different etiologies and in murine wild-type (WT) livers after periodical administration of the profibrotic toxin, CCl(4) . To further evaluate the potential function of E-type cyclins for liver fibrogenesis, we repetitively treated constitutive CcnE1(-/-) and CcnE2(-/-) knock-out mice with CCl(4) to induce liver fibrosis. Interestingly, CcnE1(-/-) mice were protected against CCl(4) -mediated liver fibrogenesis, as evidenced by reduced collagen type I α1 expression and the lack of septum formation. In contrast, CcnE2(-/-) mice showed accelerated fibrogenesis after CCl(4) treatment. We isolated primary HSCs from WT, CcnE1(-/-) , and CcnE2(-/-) mice and analyzed their activation, proliferation, and survival in vitro. CcnE1 expression in WT HSCs was maximal when they started to proliferate, but decreased after the cells transdifferentiated into myofibroblasts. CcnE1(-/-) HSCs showed dramatically impaired survival, cell-cycle arrest, and strongly reduced expression of alpha smooth muscle actin, indicating deficient HSC activation. In contrast, CcnE2-deficient HSCs expressed an elevated level of CcnE1 and showed enhanced cell-cycle activity and proliferation, compared to WT cells. Conclusions: CcnE1 and CcnE2 have antagonistic roles in liver fibrosis. CcnE1 is indispensable for the activation, proliferation, and survival of HSCs and thus promotes the synthesis of extracellular matrix and liver fibrogenesis. (HEPATOLOGY 2012;56:1140-1149). 相似文献

Thrombopoietin stimulates extracellular signal-related kinase 1/2 (ERK1/2) phosphorylation in megakaryocytes, and the classic mitogen-activated protein (MAP) kinase (Raf/mitogen-induced extracellular kinase [MEK]/ERK) pathway has been implicated directly and indirectly to play a critical role in megakaryocytopoiesis. However, the involvement of specific Raf family members in megakaryocytopoiesis is unknown. raf-1(-/-) mice were therefore used to directly determine the role of Raf-1 in megakaryocytopoiesis. Surprisingly, raf-1(-/-) mice have a modestly higher platelet count than their raf-1(+/+) littermates. Nonetheless, the absence of Raf-1 does not alter thrombopoietin-induced expansion of primary megakaryocyte-lineage cells, the development of apoptotic megakaryocytes in the presence or absence of thrombopoietin, or the development of megakaryocyte DNA ploidy distribution. Moreover, raf-1(-/-) megakaryocytes do not have a compensatory increase in A-Raf or B-Raf expression, and thrombopoietin-induced ERK1/2 phosphorylation is similar in raf-1(-/-) and raf-1(+/+) megakaryocytes. These unexpected findings demonstrate that Raf-1 is dispensable for megakaryocytopoiesis, and for thrombopoietin-induced ERK1/2 activation in primary megakaryocyte-lineage cells. 相似文献

Sublethal insults can induce tolerance to subsequent stressors in neurons. As cell death activators such as ROS generation and decreased ATP can initiate tolerance, we tested whether other cellular elements normally associated with neuronal injury could add to this process. In an in vivo model of ischemic tolerance, we were surprised to observe widespread caspase 3 cleavage, without cell death, in preconditioned tissue. To dissect the preconditioning pathways activating caspases, and the mechanisms by which these proteases are held in check, we developed an in vitro model of excitotoxic tolerance. In this model, antioxidants and caspase inhibitors blocked ischemia-induced protection against N-methyl-d-aspartate toxicity. Moreover, agents that blocked preconditioning also attenuated induction of HSP 70; transient overexpression of a constitutive form of this protein prevented HSP 70 up-regulation and blocked tolerance. We outline a neuroprotective pathway where events normally associated with apoptotic cell death are critical for cell survival. 相似文献

Reciprocal chromosomal translocations, which are mediated by errors in immunoglobulin heavy chain (IgH) switch recombination or somatic hypermutation as plasma cells are generated in germinal centers, are present in most multiple myeloma (MM) tumors. These translocations dysregulate an oncogene that is repositioned in proximity to a strong IgH enhancer. There is a promiscuous array of nonrandom chromosomal partners (and oncogenes), with the 3 most frequent partners (11q13 [cyclin D1]; 4p16 [FGFR3 and MMSET]; 16q23 [c-maf]) involved in nearly half of MM tumors. It is now shown that a novel t(6;14)(p21;q32) translocation is present in 1 of 30 MM cell lines and that this cell line uniquely overexpresses cyclin D3. The cloned breakpoint juxtaposes gamma 4 switch sequences with 6p21 sequences that are located about 65 kb centromeric to the cyclin D3 gene. By metaphase chromosome analysis, the t(6;14) (p21;q32) translocation was identified in 6 of 150 (4%) primary MM tumors. Overexpression of cyclin D3 messenger RNA (mRNA) was identified by microarray RNA expression analysis in 3 of 53 additional primary MM tumors, each of which was found to have a t(6;14) translocation breakpoint by interphase fluorescence in situ hybridization analysis. One tumor has a t(6;22)(p21;q11) translocation, so that cyclin D3 is bracketed by the IgL and IgH breakpoints. These results provide the first clear evidence for primary dysregulation of cyclin D3 during tumorigenesis. It is suggested that the initial oncogenic event for most MM tumors is a primary immunoglobulin translocation that dysregulates cyclin D1, cyclin D3, and other oncogenes to provide a proliferative stimulus to postgerminal center plasma cells. 相似文献

The Notch3 receptor participates in the development and maturation of vessels. Mutations of Notch3 in humans are associated with defective regulation of cerebral blood flow. To investigate the role of Notch3 in the regulation of renal hemodynamics, we used mice lacking expression of the Notch3 gene (Notch3-/- mice). Bolus injections of norepinephrine and angiotensin II increased renal vascular resistance and decreased renal blood flow in a dose-dependent manner in wild-type mice. In sharp contrast, renal vascular resistance of Notch3-/- mice varied little after boluses of norepinephrine and angiotensin II. Inversely, bradykinin and prostacyclin relaxed renal vasculature in wild-type mice. Both vasodilators had a negligible effect on renal vascular resistance of Notch3-/- mice. Afferent arterioles freshly isolated from Notch3-/- mice displayed decreased thickness of vascular wall compared with wild -type mice and showed a deficient contractile response to angiotensin II. To examine the physiopathological consequences of the above-described deficiency, hypertension was induced by continuous infusion of angiotensin II. Angiotensin II gradually increased blood pressure in both strains, but this increase was lesser in the Notch3-/- mice. Despite this blunted systemic effect, Notch3-/- mice displayed high mortality rates (65%) attributed to heart failure. In the kidney, the surviving Notch3-/- mice showed focal structural alterations characteristic of nephroangiosclerosis. These data show that Notch3 is necessary for the adaptive response of the renal vasculature to vasoactive systems. A deficiency in the expression of Notch3 could have important physiopathological consequences in the adaptation of the cardiac and renal function to chronic increase of blood pressure. 相似文献

Precancerous cells that enter S phase without appropriate growth and viability factors undergo programmed cell death, suggesting that apoptosis may help guarantee organismic integrity [Evan, G. & Littlewood, T. (1998) Science 281, 1317-1322]. However, the connection between proliferation and cell death has remained unclear. Here, we show that the positive cell cycle regulator cyclin D3 [Matsushime H., Roussel M. F., Ashmun, R. A. & Sherr, C. J. (1991) Cell 65, 701-713] interacts with the death enzyme Caspase 2 [Wang, L., Miura, M., Bergeron, L., Zhu, H. & Yuan, J. (1994) Cell 78, 739-750]. Directed expression of cyclin D3 and Caspase 2 in human cells potentiated apoptosis compared with expression of Caspase 2 alone. Cyclin D3 expression increased the amount of cleaved (active) Caspase 2. We describe a PCR mutagenesis/ligation/two-hybrid/green fluorescent protein approach that facilitates the isolation of missense mutant proteins defective in interaction with particular partners absent other phenotypes or knowledge of the system. We used this approach to isolate Caspase 2 mutants that did not bind cyclin D3 (noninteractors). Noninteractors were sensitive to apoptosis-dependent proteolysis, but did not potentiate apoptosis. Noninteractors did not block apoptosis caused by wild-type Caspase 2. Our results are consistent with the idea that an interaction with cyclin D3 may stabilize Caspase 2, and suggest that a physical interaction between cyclin D3 and Caspase 2 connects the genetic networks that govern cell-cycle progression with those that govern cell death. 相似文献

Inhalation of crystalline silica and asbestos is known to cause the progressive pulmonary fibrotic disorders silicosis and asbestosis, respectively. Although alveolar macrophages are believed to initiate these inflammatory responses, the mechanism by which this occurs has been unclear. Here we show that the inflammatory response and subsequent development of pulmonary fibrosis after inhalation of silica is dependent on the Nalp3 inflammasome. Stimulation of macrophages with silica results in the activation of caspase-1 in a Nalp3-dependent manner. Macrophages deficient in components of the Nalp3 inflammasome were incapable of secreting the proinflammatory cytokines interleukin (IL)-1beta and IL-18 in response to silica. Similarly, asbestos was capable of activating caspase-1 in a Nalp3-dependent manner. Activation of the Nalp3 inflammasome by silica required both an efflux of intracellular potassium and the generation of reactive oxygen species. This study demonstrates a key role for the Nalp3 inflammasome in the pathogenesis of pneumoconiosis. 相似文献

Proto-oncogene c-mpl is involved in spontaneous megakaryocytopoiesis in myeloproliferative disorders
Yan LI Gilles Hetet Jean-Jacques Kiladjian Claude Gardin Bernard Grandchamp & Jean Briere 《British journal of haematology》1995,92(1):60-66
Spontaneous megakaryocytic colonies (CFU-MK) formation without the addition of Meg-CSA in myeloproliferative disorders (MPD) has been reported by many laboratories. The mechanism by which this occurs is still unknown. In our previous work we have found that the spontaneous colonies persisted in serum-free agar culture although the colony cells were smaller and the colony numbers fewer than in plasma clot culture and that monoclonal antibodies against IL3, IL6 and GM-CSF had no inhibitory effect on spontaneous CFU-MK in both semi-solid cultures. Recently, proto-oncogene c-mpl and c-mpl ligand, thrombopoietin (TPO), have been shown to specifically participate in the regulation of normal human megakaryocytopoiesis. In order to test the hypothesis that c-mpl c-mpl ligand pathway is involved in the spontaneous growth of megakaryocyte progenitors, we investigated mRNA expressions of c-mpl and TPO in cells grown in serum-free liquid culture using RT-PCR. The c-mpl expression was detected in the cultured cells from all nine patients (six with ET, two with PV, one with PMF) who had spontaneous CFU-MK in clonal assays. However, none of the patients expressed TPO mRNA in these cells. Pre-incubation of nonadherent mononuclear cells with thioester-modified antisense oligodeoxynucleotide to c-mpl at a concentration of 6μ M significantly decreased the cloning efficiency of spontaneous megakaryocyte growth by 42.5% ( P <0.05) in plasma clot assay (seven with ET, one with PV) and 69.6% ( P <0.05) in serum-free agar culture (six with ET, one with PV). In control experiments the introduction of a scrambled oligomer to antisense oligodeoxynucleotide had no such effect on spontaneous colony formation. These results indicate that c-mpl exerts an important effect in the growth of spontaneous megakaryocytopoiesis in MPD. 相似文献

BACKGROUND: Disorders of the cell cycle regulatory machinery play a key role in the pathogenesis of cancer. Over expression of cyclin D1 protein has been reported in several solid tumors and certain lymphoid malignancies, but little is known about the involvement of cyclin D1 in acute leukemia. PATIENTS AND METHODS: In this study, we analyzed the expression of cyclin D1 at protein level in, 40 newly diagnosed patients with acute myeloid leukemia (AML), 10 patients with acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL), and 11 normal controls using flow cytometry. RESULTS: The expression of cyclin D1 was not significantly different in AML group as compared to normal controls. On the other hand, over expression of cyclin D1 was evident in ALL group (4/10) as compared to that in healthy control. The ALL cases with cyclin D1 over expression were significantly correlated to blast cell counts in the peripheral blood and bone marrow (BM) but not with hemoglobin level, WBC, and platelets count. The ALL group with lymphadenopathy and organomegaly express significantly higher cyclin D1 over expression as compared to those without. CONCLUSION: The biological value of cyclin D1 over expression might be different in AML and ALL. 相似文献

BACKGROUND/AIMS: We reported massive liver repopulation by transplanted hepatocytes in rats given retrorsine (RS), a pyrrolizidine alkaloid which blocks proliferation of resident cells. In these studies, molecular alterations induced by RS on hepatocyte cell cycle were investigated. METHODS: Animals were treated according to the protocol for liver repopulation, i.e. two injections of RS (30 mg/kg) followed by two-thirds partial hepatectomy (PH) and were sacrificed at various time points thereafter. Livers were analyzed for the expression of cell cycle-related genes. RESULTS: Prior to PH, increased cyclin D1 mRNA and protein levels were found in livers of RS-treated rats. Expression of PCNA was also increased; however, DNA synthesis was not significantly changed. Other cyclins, including cyclin B and cyclin E, were not induced. Cyclin D1 expression increased in controls post-PH and then declined by 48 h, as expected. By contrast, no such modulation of cyclin D1 levels was seen in RS group receiving PH and expression remained high at 48 h, without mitotic division. CONCLUSIONS: Exposure to RS is able to block cell cycle progression after cyclin D1 and PCNA induction, but prior to S phase. Such persistent block outside the resting phase may contribute to the selective replacement of resident cells during liver repopulation. 相似文献

Parathyroid adenomas are benign neoplasms that over-secrete parathyroid hormone and cause hypercalcemia. A subset of parathyroid adenomas contain a clonal chromosomal rearrangement in which the cyclin D1 oncogene is juxtaposed to the upstream region of the PTH gene, resulting in cyclin D1 overexpression. To examine whether cyclin D1 oncogene can drive primary hyperparathyroidism, transgenic mice were created carrying the human cyclin D1 gene ligated to the upstream region of human PTH gene, mimicking the human tumor gene rearrangement. These mice provide an animal model of primary hyperparathyroidism to understand the molecular pathogenesis and pathophysiology of the disease. 相似文献
