    Notes: Media concentration of total soluble CO2 increases with culture age of Tetrahymena pyriformis. CO2 is a weak acid and is capable of acidifying intracellular pH (pHi). Changes in pHi have been demonstrated to affect cell metabolism and growth in many systems. For these reasons, we investigated whether the concentrations of CO2 produced in vitro were sufficient to affect cell proliferation and pHi in Tetrahymena. In this study, we used DMO to mimic the weak acid properties of CO2. DMO is freely permeable to membranes in its uncharged form and has a pKa similar to that of CO2/HCO3-. In addition, it has the advantages of being metabolically inert and non-volatile. At concentrations similar to endogenously produced CO2, DMO acidifies pHi and arrests culture growth. In addition, procedures are described which decrease the media CO2 concentrations in both growing and non-growing cultures. These conditions lead to increased maximum culture density at stationary phase. The data indicate that, under our conditions, accumulation of CO2 in the culture leads to cessation of growth, probably through elimination of transmembrane pH gradients, which are necessary for regulation of metabolism and growth.

    Notes: The specific activity of lactate dehydrogenase (LDH; EC 1.1.1.27) is induced two-fold by l-norepinephrine (NE) in C6TK- rat glioma cells, but not in NA mouse neuroblastoma cells or various other nonglial cells. Previous reports have shown that the induction is mediated by cyclic AMP (cAMP) and possibly protein phosphorylation, and that it requires RNA and protein synthesis. To study the block to LDH induction in nonglial cells, we hybridized C6TK- cells with NA cells and isolated a hybrid clone in which LDH is inducible by NE. Mouse and rat LDH from hybrid cells were separated by electrophoresis and quantitated by two independent methods, and it was found that mouse and rat LDH were induced equally when cells were exposed to NE. The results suggest that inducibility of LDH is not determined by a cis-acting control at the gene level, but rather by the presence or absence of an earlier component in the cAMP-mediated induction system, and that the induction system acts indiscriminately on all active LDH gene copies in the cell.

    Notes: The effects of insulin, glucagon or Dexamethasone (DEX) and of glucagon with insulin or DEX were examined on the uptake of 2-amino [1-14C]isobutyric acid (AIB) and N-Methyl-2-amino [1-14C]isobutyric acid (NMe AIB) in monolayer cultures of rat hepatocytes. Insulin and glucagon stimulated the uptake of both the amino acids and DEX inhibited it, showing that all three of these hormones regulate the A system (the sodium-dependent system that permits the transport of NMe AIB) for amino acid transport in these cultures. Experiments investigating the transport of aminocyclopentane-1-carboxylic acid, 1- [carboxyl-14C] in the presence of excess AIB or in the absence of sodium showed that insulin had no effect on the activity of the L system (the sodium-independent system that prefers leucine). Experiments on the uptake of AIB in the presence of excess NMe AIB showed insulin had no effect on the transport activity of the ASC system (the sodium-dependent system that does not transport NEe AIB). Insulin concentrations ranging from 0.1 nM to 100 nM did not antagonize the stimulatory effect of optimum or suboptimum concentrations of glucagon on the uptake of either AIB or NMe AIB. Similarly, glucagon did not antagonize the stimulatory effect of optimum or suboptimum concentrations of insulin on the uptake of both the amino acids. The combined effect of insulin and glucagon was additive on the rate as well as the cumulative uptake of both AIB and NMe AIB. DEX alone inhibited the transport of both AIB and NMe AIB by about 25%, while glucagon caused a 2-3-fold increase; however, the addition of glucagon to cultures containing DEX caused a 7-8-fold increase in the uptake of both AIB and NMe AIB when compared to cultures containing DEX alone. The effect of insulin on the levels of cAMP was also investigated. Insulin had no effect on the cAMP levels in cultures treated or untreated with optimum or suboptimum concentrations of glucagon.

    Notes: In this study, the intracellular concentrations of six elements (mmole/kg dry weight) were directly measured in the muscle fibers of pectoralis major muscles of eight week old, genetically dystrophic and normal chickens by the X-ray microanalysis technique. The extent of muscle degeneration was evaluated by morphometric measurements of muscle fiber diameter and other histological changes. A significant increase in the concentration of intracellular sodium and chlorine was evident in dystrophic muscles. The concentration of intracellular sodium was 127.0 ± 35.0 in the muscle fibers of dystrophic chicks compared to 65.7 ± 16.5 in normal controls. The concentration of chlorine was 90.5 ± 27.5 and 54.1 ± 5.5 in the muscle fibers of dystrophic and normal chicks respectively. The intracellular concentrations of potassium, magnesium, phosphorous, and sulfur remained unchanged in the dystrophic condition. Morphometric studies revealed that the dystrophic pectoralis muscles contain fewer but thicker fibers per unit area compared to normal pectoralis muscles. The importance of these findings are discussed in relation to the results of earlier investigations.

    Notes: Mitochondrial protein synthesis was measured in line CHO cells after phases of the cell cycle were synchronized by isoleucine deprivation or mitotic selection. Maximum incorporation of [3H] leucine into mitochondrial polypeptides occurred within 2 hours after isoleucine was added to initiate G1 traverse. In cells synchronized in G1 by mitotic selection, the rate of mitochondrial protein synthesis was fairly constant throughout the cell cycle. SDS-polyacrylamide gel electrophoretic profiles of labeled mitochondrial polypeptides were similar in cells synchronized by either isoleucine deprivation or mitotic selection. Obvious changes in the distribution of polypeptides were not detected during various phases of the cell cycle. The increased rate of incorporation of [3H] leucine into mitochondrial polypeptides after reversal of G1-arrest may indicate that mitochondrial protein synthesis and possibly mitochondrial biogenesis are synchronized in CHO cells deprived of isoleucine.

    Notes: The growth requirements of SV40 transformed Balb/c-3T3 cells have been studied in the absence of serum. For growth in serum-free medium, the cells require (i) insulin, (ii) transferrin, and (iii) cis-unsaturated fatty acids added in combination with fatty acid free bovine serum albumin. The growth rate, saturation density, and morphology of cells grown in this serum-free medium are the same as those of cells grown in serum supplemented medium. This mixture also supports the growth of SV40 transformed Swiss-3T3 cells and SV40 transformed primary mouse embryo cells, but does not support the growth of untransformed Balb/c-3T3 cells.The addition of fibronectin to this mixture allows routine subculture, repeated passage, and indefinite propagation of SV40 transformed Balb/c-3T3 cells. Cells grown in this medium for a period of two months retain their ability to induce tumors when injected into athymic nude mice.

    Notes: The cell line B16/C3 will undergo melanogenesis at a specific time after plating. We have found that this time can be modulated by varying the pH of the culture medium. At high pH levels (8.2-8.6) the onset of melanogenesis occurs in 3 or 4 days, while at lower pH (6.7-7.2) it occurs in 7 or 8 days. Furthermore, the time of onset is also sensitive to the extracellular ionic strength. The addition of sodium lactate, sodium chloride, or any other salt tested delays or blocks completely the onset of melanogenesis. These effects are not simply consequence of growth inhibition, nor can they be correlated with patterns of lactate accumulation.These cells are sensitive to pH or ionic strength after entering the stationary phase just prior to the time of onset of melanogenesis. The existence of a specific pH-and ionic-strength-sensitive phase may provide an important clue to the events responsbile for differentiation in this system.

    Notes: The specificity of the reported stimulation of protein synthesis affected by dibutyryl adenosine cyclic 3′,5′-monophosphate in L5178Y cells was tested by assaying the effect of adenosine cyclic 2′,3′-monophosphate. Protein synthesis was assayed as total acid precipitable 3H-leucine. Leucine incorporation was inhibited by adenosine cyclic 2′,3′-monophosphate. Alone, and in combination with actinomycin, 2′,3′-cAMP inhibited leucine incorporation more rapidly and to a greater degree than did actinomycin alone. Since a similar potentiating effect was not observed with cordycepin, the hypothesis has been suggested that adenosine cyclic 2′,3′-monophosphate inhibits protein synthesis by interfering with some post transcriptional event, perhaps modification of existing RNA. The results further suggest that 2,3 cyclic AMP may be antagonistic of the effects of 3,5 cyclic AMP, and as such may be useful as an inhibitor of that nucleotide's action.

    Notes: We have investigated the effects of the tumor promoter 12-0-tetradecanoyl-phorbol-13-acetate (TPA) on plasminogen activator production, hexose transport and metabolism, and the incorporation of choline into the acid soluble pool and into phosphatidylcholine in suspension cultures of mouse L, mouse P388 leukemia, human HeLa, and Chinese hamster ovary cells, and in monolayer cultures of baby hamster kidney (BHK), mouse 3T3, mouse 3T6, and mouse P388D1 macrophage-like cells. BHK, 3T3, P388D1, and P388 cells produced plasminogen activator constitutively, but no significant production was observed in the other cell lines. Plasminogen activator production was induced or stimulated by TPA only in P388 cells (10- to 20-fold by 100 ng TPA/ml). On the other hand, phosphatidylcholine synthesis was stimulated by TPA only in HeLa cells, and hexose transport, as measured with 3-0-methyl-D-glucose, only in 3T3 and P388D1 cells, as well as in human lymphocytes. The stimulation of hexose transport occurred more rapidly than the induction of plasminogen activator production and seemed to be part of the mitogenic response of cells to TPA treatment. A stimulation of deoxyglucose uptake was similarly limited to 3T3 and P388D1 cells. A significant decarboxylation of carbon 1 of deoxyglucose occurred in P388 and P388D1 cells, but not in Novikoff cells, and any decarboxylation that occurred was not stimulated by TPA. The results indicate that the various investigated responses of cells to TPA are unrelated and occur independent of each other. The time courses of the biochemical responses also differ significantly.

    Notes: The major integral membrane protein of red blood cells, the mouse equivalent of human band 3, was purified and used to raise a specific antiserum. The murine protein resembles its human counterpart in several of its properties, including susceptibility to digestion by chymotrypsin added to intact cells and an ability to bind to concanavalin A. The synthesis of 35S-labeled band 3 was detected in Friend erythroleukemia cells treated with DMSO by immuneprecipitation followed by SDS gel electrophoresis and fluorography. Induction with DMSO led to a greater than tenfold increase in the synthesis of band 3 and maximal synthesis was reached 3 to 4 days after the beginning of induction.
