Potassium bromate (KBrO3) is a well-established rodent kidney carcinogen and its oxidising activity is considered to be a significant factor in its mechanism of action. Although it has also been shown to be clearly genotoxic in a range of in vivo and in vitro test systems, surprisingly, it is not readily detected in several cell lines using the standard alkaline Comet assay. However, previous results from this laboratory demonstrated huge increases in tail intensity by modifying the method to include incubation with either human 8-oxodeoxyguanosine DNA glycosylase-1 (hOGG1) or bacterial formamidopyrimidine DNA glycosylase (FPG) indicating that, as expected, significant amounts of 8-oxodeoxyguanosine (8-OHdG) were induced. The purpose of this work, therefore, was to investigate why KBrO3, in contrast to other oxidising agents, gives a relatively poor response in the standard Comet assay. Results confirmed that it is a potent genotoxin in mouse lymphoma L5178Y cells inducing micronuclei and mutation at the tk and hprt loci at relatively non-cytotoxic concentrations. Subsequent time-course studies demonstrated that substantial amounts of 8-OHdG appear to remain in cells 24 h after treatment with KBrO3 but result in no increase in frank stand breaks (FSB) even though phosphorylated histone H2AX (γ-H2AX) antibody labelling confirmed the presence of double-strand breaks. Using bromodeoxyuracil (BrdU) incorporation together with measured increases in cell numbers, L5178Y cells also appeared to go through the cell cycle with unrepaired hOGG1-recognisable damage. Since unrepaired 8-OHdG can give rise to point mutations through G:C → T:A transversions, it was also surprising that mutation could not be detected at the Na+/K+ ATPase locus as determined by ouabain resistance. Some increases in strand breakage could be seen in the Comet assay by increasing the unwinding time, but only at highly toxic concentrations and to a much smaller extent than would be expected from the magnitude of the other genotoxic responses. It was considered unlikely that these anomalous observations were due to the inability of L5178Y cells to recognise 8-OHdG because these cells were shown to express mOGG1 and have functional cleavage activity at the adducted site. It appears that the responses of L5178Y cells to KBrO3 are complex and differ from those induced by other oxidising agents. 相似文献

The toxicity of 4-chlorobiphenyl, a constituent of Aroclor 1221, was studied in mouse L5178Y cells, in vitro. 4-Chlorobiphenyl had a varied effect on the uptake of small precursor molecules. Uptake of [3H]l-leucine, [3H]l-serine, [3H]uridine and [3H]thymidine was inhibited, while that of [3H]inositol was stimulated. There was no significant effect on either [14C]ethanolamine or [14C]choline uptake. However 4-chlorobiphenyl significantly inhibited incorporation of [14C]ethanolamine into phosphatidylethanolamine and caused a 2- to 3-fold stimulation in the incorporation of [14C]choline into phosphatidylcholine. This effect on phosphatidylcholine metabolism depended on the adsorption and continued presence of 4-chlorobiphenyl on the cell plasma membrane. The stimulation of [14C]choline incorporation was reversed when treated cells were placed in fresh growth medium under conditions where 95 per cent of the 4-chlorobiphenyl was desorbed from the cell surface. The effect of 4-chlorobiphenyl on substrate uptake and phospholipid metabolism appears to depend upon the interaction of the agent with the cell membrane surface. 相似文献

Synergistic enhancement of the bleomycin and peplomycin induced mitotic index reduction by verapamil
The cytostatics bleomycin and peplomycin are known to reduce the mitotic index. It is shown that in cultured human lymphocytes the heart drug verapamil (Isoptin) increases this effect synergistically. This seems to be for the first time that synergism in the reduction of the mitotic index by chemical agents has been demonstrated. 相似文献

The cytokinetic response of Ehrlich ascites tumor (EAT) cells in vivo upon chronic treatment at low dosage levels with cytarabine (1-beta-D-arabinofuranosylcytosine, ara-c) bleomycin (BLM) and peplomycin (PEP) was estimated. Bivariate DNA histograms allow the simultaneous evaluation of the cell cycle status of living and killed cells. It could be confirmed that ara-C is cytostatic on cells in S phase. Pronounced cytotoxicity was observed in G1 and G2+M phase. BLM and PEP showed no (or neglectable ) accumulation of vital cells in any cycle phase. Both drugs, however, are cytotoxic on cells, regardless their position within the cell cycle. A successive application of ara-C and BLM (or PEP) in a cell kinetics-directed therapy schedule may be taken into account. 相似文献

Chromium picolinate is one of the most commonly used chromium dietary supplements available in the United States, and it has been marketed to consumers for use in weight loss, increasing muscle mass, and lowering serum cholesterol. Chromium picolinate is a synthetic compound that provides a bioavailable form of Cr(III) that is absorbed better than dietary chromium. However, there are several reports that it can have adverse effects. In order to study the mechanism of observed cellular toxicity and mutagenicity, chromium picolinate and its component compounds, chromium (III) chloride and picolinic acid, were evaluated in Salmonella typhimurium and L5178Y mouse lymphoma cells. Neither chromium picolinate nor chromium chloride induced a mutagenic response in S. typhimurium. However, in the L5178Y mouse lymphoma mutation assay, chromium picolinate induced mutagenic responses without and with the addition of S9. 相似文献

The cytotoxicity and genotoxicity of the antifungal and antimicrobial agent Omadine, i.e. N-hydroxypyridine-2-thione (HOPT), has been investigated in L5178Y mouse lymphoma cells in the dark and under UVA irradiation. Omadine inhibits cell growth and induces micronuclei at concentrations >0.5 microM in the absence of light. At a 0.5-microM concentration, an UVA-dose-dependent induction of micronuclei is observed, conditions at which the cytotoxicity and genotoxicity in the dark is negligible. The photogenotoxicity is not accompanied by cytotoxicity. Control experiments with the radical scavengers GSH and GSHOEt implicate the involvement of hydroxyl radicals in the photogenotoxicity of Omadine. 相似文献

Moderate concentrations of bredinin (1.2 X 10(-5) M) strongly inhibited growth of L5178Y cells, with the effect being reversed by guanylic acid (GMP). However, at higher concentrations of breeding the inhibition was not reversed completely by GMP added in excess. Bredinin was cytocidal at concentrations above 2 X 10(-5) M, but 5 X 10(-5) M bredinin in the presence of excess GMP, bredinin was cytostatic. Bredinin inhibited nucleic acid synthesis of L5178Y cells, but bredinin itself was not incorporated into the nucleic acid. Inhibition of nucleic acid synthesis was clearly reversed by GMP. Similarly chromosomal aberrations in L5178Y cells caused by bredinin were reversed by GMP. In contrast, the effect of ahigh concentration of bredinin on cell multiplication was not reversed by GMP. The modal volume of L5178Y cells increased during incubation in the presence of bredinin and GMP for 24 hours, 5 X 10(-5) M bredinin with GMP causing a 70% increase in cell volume. This increase in cell volume was mainly due to an increase in the protein content of the cells. The cytostatic effect of bredinin with GMP was reversed completely by adenosine-3',5'-cyclic monophosphate (cyclic AMP). Other cyclic nucleotides and nucleotides were ineffective. The reversing effect of cyclic AMP on cell survival depended upon the concentration of GMP, and was not seen in the absence of GMP. It was concluded that cyclic AMP influences the secondary cytostatic effect of bredinin, and not the primary cytotoxic effect reversed by GMP. 相似文献

The biochemical mechanism of anthracycline resistance was studied with an adriamycin-resistant subline of mouse lymphoblastoma L5178Y cells. Both uridine and thymidine uptakes in the resistant cells were observed more resistant to adriamycin and daunorubicin than those in the parental cells. Aclacinomycin A exhibited the same degree of inhibition of nucleic acid syntheses in the sensitive cells and in the resistant cells. The resistance pattern observed by the inhibition of RNA and DNA syntheses seemed to parallel that by growth inhibition. No significant difference was demonstrated between the parental and resistant cells in the inhibition of RNA and DNA polymerase reactions with isolated nuclei. The uptake and retention of [3H]adriamycin was observed significantly less in the resistant cells than in the sensitive cells. The results suggested that the adriamycin resistance may be due to alteration of the cytoplasmic membrane and/or cytoplasm, resulting in decreased uptake and retention of the antibiotic in the resistant cells. 相似文献

Activities of marker enzymes for various cell components were studied with extracts of adriamycin-, aclacinomycin A- and bleomycin-resistant cells and with partially purified plasma membrane fraction of aclacinomycin A-resistant cells, in comparison with those of the parental cells. Alkaline phosphodiesterase and Na+-K+-ATPase activities were observed to alter in the drug-resistant sublines, but other enzymes showed similar activities in the resistant cells to those in the parental cells. Alkaline phosphodiesterase activities in all the resistant sublines were higher than that in the parental cells. Na+K+-ATPase activities of anthracycline-resistant sublines were lower and that in bleomycin-resistant cell line was higher than that of the parental cells. The adriamycin-resistant cells exhibited the same level of alkaline phosphodiesterase activity with the aclacinomycin A-resistant cells: Vmax was the same with, and the affinity was twice stronger than the parental cells. The bleomycin-resistant cells showed ca. 30% Vmax in comparison with the sensitive cells, and 17 fold higher affinity than the parental cells. The current results, concerning changes of membrane-associated enzymes in drug-resistant sublines of L5178Y cells, support the assumption that the resistance is due to alteration of plasma membrane transport systems. 相似文献

Catechol is a genotoxic agent assumed to induce DNA damage via the oxidative pathway. Using the comet assay and the repair-specific enzymes formamido pyrimidine glycosylase (Fpg) and endonuclease III (Endo III), we examined the ability of catechol to induce DNA damage in extended-term cultures of human lymphocytes and mouse lymphoma cells. Our results suggest that mouse lymphoma cells are somewhat more sensitive towards catechol-induced DNA damage than the extended-term cultures of human lymphocytes. At high concentrations, the catechol-induced damage seemed to be independent of both Fpg and Endo III, possibly indicating a non-oxidative pathway for the DNA damage (involving, for example, a bulky adduct). The fact that Endo III, but not Fpg, enhanced the DNA damaging effect of catechol, suggests that this metabolite of benzene either mediates oxidation of pyrimidines rather than purines, or that oxidised purines are repaired more efficiently, at least in human lymphocytes. In the latter cells, low concentrations of catechol were found to reduce the DNA migration. Considering the role of Fpg and it's adduct specific detection of 8-oxoguanine, this suggests that a low concentration of catechol has an antioxidative effect reducing the background levels of oxidized purines. 相似文献

The adoptive transfer of highly cytotoxic natural killer (NK) cells is an emerging tool for cancer immunotherapy. Antibody-dependent cellular cytotoxicity (ADCC) has recently been identified as one of the critical factors for the clinical efficacy of anticancer antibodies, in which NK cells are the major effectors of ADCC. NK cells were expanded from PBMC by a feeder-cell-free expansion method. NK cell expansion efficiency was evaluated within a period of 21 days. The kinetics of NK cell expansion and the expression of activating and inhibitory receptors on NK cells were monitored. NK cells producing IFN-γ and TNF-α were detected by intracellular cytokine staining. The cytotoxicity of expanded NK cells against various cancer cells was compared with that of freshly isolated NK cells. The ADCC functions of expanded NK cells in combination with rituximab against CD20 + lymphoma cell lines were evaluated. Our method efficiently expanded NK cells ex vivo, which showed a much higher activity to induce the expression of activating receptors and to produce IFN-γ and TNF-α as well as cytotoxicity against various cancer cell lines including CD133 + primary cancer cells than freshly isolated NK cells. We observed a synergistic cytotoxicity of our expanded NK cells against CD20 + B lymphoma cell lines as well as higher IFN-γ and TNF-α production when combined with rituximab. Our results suggest that the adoptive transfer of a large number of ex vivo expanded NK cells, particularly in combination with monoclonal antibody drugs, is a useful tool for cancer immunotherapy. 相似文献

The cellular uptake of mizoribine (MZR), an immunosuppressant, and metabolism of MZR to MZR-5′- monophosphate (MZRP), an active metabolite, were evaluated in L5178Y-R mouse lymphoma cells and peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMCs) of rats and kidney transplant recipients (KTRs, n = 22). Real-time PCR analysis revealed the expression of ENT1 and ENT2 mRNAs, but not of CNTs, in L5178Y-R cells and rat's PBMCs. In L5178Y-R cells, the uptake of MZR was suppressed by adenosine, a substrate for ENT1 and ENT2, but not by 5-(4-nitrobenzyl)-6-thioinosine (0.1 μM), an ENT1 inhibitor. Saturable metabolism of MZR to MZRP was observed. In rats, peak plasma concentrations of MZR and peak concentrations of MZR and MZRP in PBMCs were observed 3 h after oral administration. MZR disappeared from PBMCs in parallel with plasma MZR, but the disappearance of MZRP from PBMCs appeared to be slow. In KTRs, the mean plasma concentration of MZR 3–4 h after ingestion was 3.14 μg/ml and the mean MZRP concentration in PBMCs was 16.8% of MZR, reflecting the involvement of ENT in the uptake of MZR. A linear relationship was observed between plasma MZR concentrations ranging from 1 to 6 μg/ml and PBMC's MZRP concentrations ranging from 90 to 200 ng/ml. 相似文献
