Deoxyuridine metabolism in cultured human lymphoblasts treated with methotrexate.
The deoxyuridine suppression test and labeled deoxyuridine incorporation studies assume a stable level of deoxyuridine phosphorylase (thymidine:orthophosphate deoxyribosyltransferase, EC 2.4.2.4) activity. We report a large increase in deoxyuridine phosphorylase activity in three of five cultured lymphoblast lines treated with 10(-7) M methotrexate. In two of these lines, a parallel increase in...
متن کاملCharacteristics of an aminohydrolase distinct from adenosine deaminase in cultured human lymphoblasts.
An inherited deficiency of adenosine deaminase (adenosine aminohydrolase, EC 3.5.4.4) is associated with an autosomal recessive form of severe combined immunodeficiency disease. Affected patients exhibit markedly reduced or absent adenosine deaminating activity in various tissues. In this study we have demonstrated the presence of a low level aminohydrolase activity in 11 different normal and a...
متن کاملGenetic analysis of 2',3'-dideoxycytidine incorporation into cultured human T lymphoblasts.
In order to analyze the cellular determinants that mediate the action of 2',3'-dideoxycytidine, the growth inhibitory and cytotoxic effects and the metabolism of the dideoxynucleoside were examined in wild type human CEM T lymphoblasts and in mutant populations of CEM cells that were genetically deficient in either nucleoside transport or deoxycytidine kinase activity. Whereas 2',3'-dideoxycyti...
متن کاملCobalamin inactivation decreases purine and methionine synthesis in cultured lymphoblasts.
The megaloblastic anemia of cobalamin deficiency appears secondary to decreased methionine synthetase activity. Decreased activity of this enzyme should cause 5-methyltetrahydrofolate to accumulate intracellularly, and consequently, decrease purine and DNA synthesis; this is the basis of the "methylfolate trap" hypothesis of cobalamin deficiency. However, only some of the clinical and biochemic...
متن کاملEffect of adriamycin on the cell cycle traverse and kinetics of cultured human lymphoblasts.
Exposure of cultured human lymphoblasts to adriamycin (ADM) (0.1 mug/ml for 24 hr or 0.5 mug/ml for 1 hr) leads to an accumulation of cells with the DNA content of late S and G2. Higher concentrations of ADM (0.5 to 10 mug/ml) inhibit cell cycle traverse. Effect of ADM on cell cycle traverse, cell growth, and incorporation of labeled precursors into DNA is dependent on drug concentration and le...
