Chain length heterogeneity of nucleosomal DNA in mouse liver after dimethylnitrosamine administration

The effect of dimethylnitrosamine on the nucleosomal structure of mouse liver chromatin was studied. After a single oral dose of dimethylnitrosamine (2–75 mg/kg body weight 45 min before sacrifice) liver nuclei were isolated and incubated with micrococcus nuclease. Nucleosomes were separated on sucrose density gradients. There were no differences in nucleosomal sedimentation velocities between preparations from control and dimethylnitrosamine treated animals. The supernatant obtained after centrifugation of the lysed nuclei (2 min at 4,000 g _av) and nucleosomal peak fractions were used for isolation of DNA. DNA was heat denatured in 7 M urea or formamide. After electrophoresis on polyacrylamide gels areas under mononucleosomal DNA and smaller fragments were measured and compared with the total DNA area. The increase in DNA fragmentation was dimethylnitrosamine dose response dependent. When expressed as per cent of controls it amounted to 106% for 2 mg; 115% for 10 mg; 127% for 25 mg; 164% for 75 mg dimethylnitrosamine/kg body weight. A good correlation between mobility and log of chain length of 174 RF DNA-Hae III digest was obtained in nondenaturing 5% polyacrylamide gels and denaturing non-aqueous formamide polyacrylamide gels but not in 12% polyacrylamide gels containing 7 M urea. DNA of mononucleosomal peak fractions contained 200 and that of dinucleosomal peak fractions 400 nucleotides. Fragmentation of DNA was closely related to in vivo dimethylnitrosamine treatment but was not detected in measurements of protein-DNA complexes in the chromatin. It was disclosed on denaturation of DNA followed by polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis.Abbreviations DMN dimethylnitrosamine - SDS sodium dodecyl sulfate The work was supported by Grant Number 1 R0 1 CA26642-01, awarded to A.v.d.D. by the National Cancer Institute, DHEW

菲啰啉对不同氧化剂和多柔比星所致CHL细胞DNA链断裂的影响

目的 为了研究菲啰啉对2种氧化剂和抗癌药多柔比星诱发细胞DNA损伤的影响, 并初步探讨其损伤机制。方法 用不同浓度菲啰啉预处理CHL细胞30 min, 再分别加入3种不同染毒受试物,共同培养一定时间(0.3 mmol·L^-1重铬酸钾：105 min； 0.5 μmol·L^-1多柔比星：5 min； 0.4 mmol·L^-1过氧化氢(H₂O₂)：25 min)后, 用碱性单细胞凝胶电泳方法(ASCGE)测定DNA链断裂情况, 并同时以菲啰啉与二甲亚砜(DMSO，0.33 mol·L^-1)比较对H₂O₂致DNA损伤中·OH的产生和清除。结果 3种染毒受试物均可明显引起CHL细胞DNA链断裂；而当3 μmol·L^-1菲啰啉预处理后, 可使重铬酸钾、H₂O₂所致DNA迁移长度和细胞拖尾率明显降低, 并超过DMSO降低H₂O₂的损伤作用, 当菲啰林浓度升至12 μmol·L^-1时, 可完全消除这两种因素所致的DNA链断裂损伤；10 μmol·L^-1菲啰啉可抑制多柔比星所致DNA损伤, 但浓度直至60 μmol·L^-1仍不能完全消除多柔比星的损伤作用。结论 菲啰啉对2种氧化剂和多柔比星所致DNA损伤均有不同程度的防护作用,同时提示重铬酸钾和H₂O₂所致的DNA损伤主要与需过渡金属离子参与的·OH产生有关, 而多柔比星所致损伤仅部分与此有关。     

Iontophoretic transdermal delivery of buspirone hydrochloride in hairless mouse skin

The transdermal delivery of buspirone hydrochloride across hairless mouse skin and the combined effect of iontophoresis and terpene enhancers were evaluated in vitro using Franz diffusion cells. Iontophoretic delivery was optimized by evaluating the effect of drug concentration, current density, and pH of the vehicle solution. Increasing the current density from 0.05 to 0.1 mA/cm² resulted in doubling of the iontophoretic flux of buspirone hydrochloride, while increasing drug concentration from 1% to 2% had no effect on flux. Using phosphate buffer to adjust the pH of the drug solution decreased the buspirone hydrochloride iontophoretic flux relative to water solutions. Incorporating buspirone hydrochloride into ethanol:water (50:50 vol/vol) based gel formulations using carboxymethylcellulose and hydroxypropylmethylcellulose had no effect on iontophoretic delivery. Incorporation of three terpene enhancers (menthol, cineole, and terpineol) into the gel and when combined with iontophoresis it was possible to deliver 10 mg/cm²/day of buspirone hydrochloride.     

Utility of peptide–protein affinity complexes in proteomics: identification of interaction partners of a tumor suppressor peptide*

Abstract: We used a N‐biotinylated peptide analog of the C‐terminal domain of the tumor suppressor protein, p21^cip1/waf1 to elucidate peptide/protein interacting partners. The C‐terminal domain of p21^cip1/waf1 protein spanning 141–160 amino acid residues is known to bind PCNA and this interaction is important in many biological processes including cell‐cycle control. This C‐terminal 20‐mer efficiently extracts PCNA in the presence of a variety of N‐ or C‐terminally attached affinity tags. Using difference silver stained 2D gels combined with in‐gel tryptic digests, we identified the difference spots using MALDI‐TOF mass spectrometry‐based peptide mass fingerprinting followed by a database search using profound against NCBIs human nonredundant protein sequence data bank. Identified spots include the p48 subunit of chromatin assembly factor‐1, the heat shock 70 protein analog BiP, calmodulin, nucleolin and a spot similar in size to dimeric PCNA. In contrast, microcapillary ion‐trap LC‐MS/MS analysis of a tryptic digest of entire affinity extracts derived from both control and experimental runs followed by database searches using sequest confirmed the presence of most of the above proteins. This strategy also identified hnRNPA1, HPSP90α, HSP40 and T‐complex protein 1, a protein similar to prothymosin, and a possible allelic variant of the p21^cip1/waf1 protein. The use of N‐biotinylated peptide derived from the C‐terminal domain of p21^cip1/waf1 protein in proteomic analysis exemplified here suggests that peptides obtained from intracellular functional screens could also potentially serve as efficient baits to discover new drug targets.
