Internucleosomal DNA cleavage and neuronal cell survival/death
Serum-free PC12 cell cultures have been used to study the mechanisms of neuronal death after neurotrophic factor deprivation. We previously reported that PC12 cells undergo "apoptotic" internucleosomal DNA cleavage after withdrawal of trophic support. Here, we have used a sensitive method to detect PC12 cell DNA fragmentation within three hrs of serum removal and have exploited this assay to ex...
متن کاملInternucleosomal cleavage of DNA is insufficient evidence to conclude that cell death is apoptotic.
In a recent volume of Blood, Yuan et a l l demonstrated internucleosomal cleavage of DNA in erythroid precursors obtained from the bone marrow (BM) of a patient with @-thalassemia major, “lesser” (but unquantitated) amounts of intemucleosomal cleavage in those from a @-thalassemia trait donor, and no evidence of such cleavage in erythroid precursors separated from normal BM. Although no other e...
متن کاملInternucleosomal DNA cleavage precedes diphtheria toxin-induced cytolysis. Evidence that cell lysis is not a simple consequence of translation inhibition.
Diphtheria toxin (DTx) is an extremely potent inhibitor of protein synthesis. Cell death has been generally accepted as a straightforward effect of translation inhibition. Using human U937 cells, we found that DTx intoxication leads to cytolysis; indeed, release of 51Cr- and 75Se-labeled proteins could be detected within 7 h. However, little or no cell lysis was observed over a 20-50-h period w...
متن کاملAdenosine receptor-mediated accumulation of cyclic AMP-induced T-lymphocyte death through internucleosomal DNA cleavage.
Incubation of mouse thymocytes with adenosine and its receptor site agonist, 2-chloroadenosine, induced a pronounced increase in the intracellular cAMP level and resulted in internucleosomal DNA fragmentation followed by cell lysis. Similar DNA fragmentation was induced in peripheral T-lymphocytes prepared from spleen cells but to a lesser extent than in the thymocytes. The DNA fragmentation in...
متن کاملInternucleosomal cleavage and chromosomal degradation by bleomycin and phleomycin in yeast.
Native chromosomal structure, breakage, and overall degradation were studied following the reaction of whole cells with the anticancer drug bleomycin and structurally related phleomycin. Electrophoretic analyses of cellular DNA established that phleomycin was more reactive with DNA than equimolar bleomycin in the range of 0.67-33 x 10(-6) M, produced an optimally visible, though less-extended, ...
