Reorganization of alpha-actinin and vinculin induced by a phorbol ester in living cells
We have used fluorescent analogue cytochemistry, image intensification, and digital image processing to examine the redistribution of alpha-actinin and vinculin in living cultured African green monkey kidney (BSC-1) cells treated with the phorbol ester 12-O-tetradecanoylphorbol-13-acetate (TPA). Before treatment, microinjected alpha-actinin shows characteristic distribution along stress fibers ...
متن کاملPhorbol ester-induced reorganization of the cytoskeleton in human fibroblasts during ageing in vitro.
Phorbol esters induce drastic morphological alterations in cells of different origin by altering the conformation and the interrelationship of the elements of the cytoskeletal system. Treatment of early passage (young) and late passage (senescent) human fibroblasts MRC-5 with phorbol-12-myristate-13-acetate (PMA) results in the rearrangement of actin and tubulin filaments. PMA brings about the ...
متن کاملInterleukin-la mediates phorbol ester-induced inflammation
The topical application of the tumor promoter 12-O-tetradecanoylphorbol-13-acetate (TPA) to murine skin produces acute inflammatory and hyperplastic responses that have been associated with the promotion stage of skin carcinogenesis. It has been shown in a previous study that TPA induces the expression of the highly inflammatory cytokine, interleukin (IL) -la, in the epidermis of SENCAR mice. T...
متن کاملCaspase activation during phorbol ester-induced apoptosis requires ROCK-dependent myosin-mediated contraction.
Treatment of cells with phorbol ester, phorbol-12-myristate-13-acetate (PMA), triggers differentiation or apoptosis, depending on the cell type. In this study, we used an erythroblastic cell line, TF-1, to investigate the molecular mechanism that determines the cell fate in response to PMA exposure. Upon PMA treatment in the presence of serum or lysophosphatidic acid (LPA), TF-1 cells exhibited...
متن کاملRole of Actin Polymerization and Adhesion to Extracellular Matrix in Rac- and Rho-induced Cytoskeletal Reorganization
Most animal cells use a combination of actin-myosin-based contraction and actin polymerization- based protrusion to control their shape and motility. The small GTPase Rho triggers the formation of contractile stress fibers and focal adhesion complexes (Ridley, A.J., and A. Hall. 1992. Cell. 70:389-399) while a close relative, Rac, induces lamellipodial protrusions and focal complexes in the lam...
