Interaction of respiratory burst and uptake of dehydroascorbic acid in differentiated HL-60 cells.
HL-60 cells differentiated with DMSO increased their rates of uptake of ascorbate when they were activated with PMA. The rates observed after this activation were essentially the same as those with dehydroascorbic acid as the original transport substrate. The effect of activation was sensitive to the antioxidant enzymes superoxide dismutase and catalase. When ascorbate was oxidized in situ by c...
متن کاملTransient glutathione depletion determines terminal differentiation in HL-60 cells
To better define the role of glutathione (GSH) in cell differentiation, the present study measured GSH concentrations during terminal HL-60 cell differentiation, in the presence and absence of differentiation-inducing agents, and in the presence and absence of GSH altering agents. Interestingly, there was a small transient increase in intracellular GSH levels during dimethyl sulfoxide (DMSO) or...
متن کاملIsoprenoid metabolism is required for stimulation of the respiratory burst oxidase of HL-60 cells.
The formation of oxygen radicals by phagocytic cells occurs through the activation of a multiple-component NADPH oxidase system. An unidentified low molecular weight GTP-binding protein has been proposed to modulate the activity of the NADPH oxidase. The low molecular weight GTP-binding proteins undergo posttranslational processing, including an initial covalent incorporation of an isoprenyl gr...
متن کاملAnatomic characterization of acupuncture system and ultra-weak photon emission
During the past 20 years, the connective tissue has been recognized as an integral component of the Chinese acupuncture meridian system. This has offered an interesting correspondence between the classical Chinese theory and a 200 year-old European theory on connective tissue as basic bioregulatory system. We review supporting evidence from biochemistry, cell biology, biophysics and biophotonic...
متن کاملRevisiting the mitogenetic effect of ultra-weak photon emission
This paper reviews the 90 years long controversial history of the so-called "mitogenetic radiation," the first case of non-chemical distant interactions, reported by Gurwitsch (1923). It was soon described as ultraweak UV, emitted by a number of biological systems, and stimulating mitosis in "competent" (in this sense) cells. In the following 20 years this phenomenon attracted enormous interest...
