    Notes: Adhesion of platelets in vitro resulted in rapid polymerization of the amorphous cytoplasmic ground substance into an organized cytoskeletal superstructure. This cytoskeleton, characterized through the use of whole-mount and stereo (3-D), high-voltage microscopy in conjunction with morphometrics and cytochemistry, comprised four major size classes of filaments organized in distinctive zones. The central matrix, or granulomere, at the center of the cell mass, was an ill-defined meshwork of 80-100-Å filaments which enshrouded granules, dense bodies, and elements of the dense tubular system as identified through peroxidase cytochemistry. Demarcasting this central matrix was a trabecular zone containing 30-50, 80-100, and 150-170 Å filaments in an open and rigid-appearing lattice. Circumscribing the trabecular zone and extending to the margins of the hyalomere was the third region, the peripheral web, in which 70-Å filaments were arranged in a tight honeycomb lattice. This organizational pattern was retained in cytoskeletons prepared by Triton x-100 extraction of the adherent cells, and was observed in basally located cells of aggregates which formed subsequent to adhesion. Our observations are consistent with biochemical studies of cytoskeletons prepared from suspended platelets and suggest a contractile protein composition for the superstructure during adhesion.

    Identification of surface autoantigens which appear during spermatogenesis (1982)

    Notes: Autoantigens that appear during spermatogenesis in the rabbit were identified using immunoadsorbent chromatography and SDS-PAGE. To identify cell-surface proteins, samples of freshly isolated, staged cells were labeled by the lactoperoxidase or Iodo-Gen iodination procedure and run on SDS-PAGE. Autoradiograms of the stained, dried gels were prepared. By correlating the band patterns in the SDS gels of immunocolumn and surface-labeled samples with the band patterns in the autoradiograms, it was possible to show when the autoantigenic proteins appeared on the cell surface. To further support the identification of membrane autoantigens, surface-labeled, staged cell samples were lysed in Triton X-100 and immunoprecipitated with antitestis cell autoantisera.Three types of autoantigens have been identified: (1) late class antigens that are present only on late spermatids and epididymal spermatozoa, but are intracellular in early stages, (2) early class antigens which occur on the surface of pachytene spermatocytes and are present throughout subsequent stages of development, and (3) early class, transient antigens, which appear on spermatogenic cells but are not present on epididymal spermatozoa.

    Induction of polyamine limitation in Chinese hamster ovary cells by α-methylornithine (1981)
    New York, NY [u.a.] : Wiley-Blackwell

    Notes: Chinese hamster ovary (CHO) cells in culture were limited for polyamines through the use of α-methylornithine (αMO), a competitive inhibitor of ornithine decarboxylase. Initial exposure of the cells to the inhibitor caused growth rate and intracellular polyamine content to decline continuously. Reseeding the αMO-treated cells into medium containing the inhibitor resulted in steady-state (exponential) growth at cell densities below 5 × 103 cells/cm2, at a rate approximately twofold slower than untreated cells. Under these conditions, putrescine and spermidine were undetectable and spermine remained relatively constant at a level approximately half that found in untreated cells. Addition of exogenous putrescine elevated the polyamine content and stimulated the growth of αMO-treated cultures. Thus, growth rate correlated with polyamine content in the αMO-treated cells.The growth of reseeded. αMO-treated cells became nonexponential at a density (5 × 103 cells/cm2) far below that at which untreated cells departed from exponential growth (1 × 105 cells/cm2). Medium obtained from high density, αMO-treated cultures inhibited the growth of cells at low density in the presence of αMO. Doubling the concentration of the defined components of conditioned medium did not markedly affect its capacity to inhibit growth. However, dialysis completely removed the inhibitory activity from conditioned medium. The results imply that a low molecular weight inhibitor of growth is produced by polyamine-limited cells. This is a variable that must be controlled in studies with polyamine-limited animal cells.Morphological studies indicated that subcellular organelles, including mitochondria, were largely unaffected by treatment with αMO. The maintenance of mitochondrial integrity in the presence of αMO demonstrates that the swelling of mitochondria observed previously in cells treated with methylglyoxal bis(guanylhydrazone) was not due to polyamine limitation. αMO-treated cells did, however, accumulate numerous cytoplasmic vacuoles. The identity of these vacuoles and their relationship to cellular physiology is not yet understood.

    Treatment with α-difluoromethylornithine plus a spermidine analog leads to spermine depletion and growth inhibition in cultured L1210 leukemia cells (1984)
    New York, NY [u.a.] : Wiley-Blackwell

    Notes: Of the three biological polyamines, putrescine (Put), spermidine (Spd), and spermine (Spm), the relevance of Spm to cell proliferation has yet to be defined because of our general inability to deplete it selectively in intact cells. In the present study, Spm depletion was accomplished by treating cultured L1210 cells for 96 hr with α-difluoromethylornithine (DFMO) and an analog of Spd such as aminopropylcadaverine. N4-methylSpd, N4-ethylSpd, or homoSpd. DFMO, a specific inhibitor of ornithine decarboxylase, halts continued polyamine biosynthesis and the Spd analog serves as a functional substitute for Spd. Thus, while the Spd analog fulfills the role(s) of Spd in cell proliferation, Spm becomes steadily depleted. In cells treated with DFMO plus the analog, aminopropylcadaverine, Spm pools decline steadily and growth inhibition occurs after 48 hr (when Spm pools decline to 60% of control). By 96 hr, Spm is ∼ 15% of control and growth is 〈 30%. Prevention studies with exogenous polyamines confirm a causai relationship between Spm depletion and growth inhibition. The critical levels of polyamines for cell proliferation to take place were found to be 30% of control for Spd and 60% for Spm. The use of DFMO plus a Spd analog is proposed as a system for studying the cellular consequences of Spm depletion. Spd depletion can be achieved for comparison purposes by treating cells with DFMO alone.

    The biochemical and ultrastructural effects of tunicamycin and D-glucosamine in L1210 leukemic cells (1983)
    New York, NY [u.a.] : Wiley-Blackwell

    Notes: Tunicamycin was found to specifically inhibit the incorporation of a number of sugars into L1210 leukemia cell glycoproteins. This inhibition of glyco-protein biosynthesis led to a cessation of cell growth which was reversible in a dose-dependent and time-dependent manner. After removal of the antibiotic from L1210 cell cultures resumption of sugar incorporation preceded that of thymidine incorporation and the recovery of cell growth. The treatment of cells with tunicamycin resulted in a significant increase in the intracellular pool of UDP-N-acetylglucosamine which occurred concurrently with alterations in cell ultrastructure including distentions of the endoplasmic reticulum and nuclear membranes. Similar ultrastructural changes and increases in the intracellular pools of UDP-sugars were observed in L1210 cells exposed to 5 mM D-glucosamine, which suggested that the antiproliferative effects of tunicamycin may be related to the accumulation in the endoplasmic reticulum of one or more nucleotide sugar precursors of asparagine-linked glycoprotein biosynthesis. However, the biological effects of tunicamycin could be distinguished from those caused by D-glucosamine. Exposure of L1210 cells to tunicamycin resulted in specific alterations in the biochemical composition of the plasma membrane and in the inhibition of cellular agglutination by wheat germ agglutinin which were not apparent following exposure to equitoxic concentrations of the aminosugar. These studies, together with those which demonstrated that recovery of the cellular capacity to synthesize glycoproteins was obligatory for the recovery of cellular proliferation in tunicamycin-treated cells, suggested that inhibition of the synthesis of glycoproteins was the major factor limiting L1210 leukemic cell proliferation.
