Tubulin pools in differentiating neuroblastoma cells
The distribution of tubulin in soluble, reversibly stabilized (assembled) and insoluble forms has been determined in neuroblastoma cells undergoing microtubule-dependent neurite elongation. Procedures were developed to obtain reproducible tubulin fractions and to assay total tubulin. Radioimmunoassays showed that both differentiated and nondifferentiated cell contained approximately 4 pg of tub...
متن کاملIncreased Rate of Acetylcholinesterase Synthesis in Differentiating Neuroblastoma Cells
When neuroblastoma cells (N18) in vitro are maintained in the absence of serum, the specific activity of AChE begins to rise rapidly after an initial lag period of about 2-3 days, reaching a maximum level (10-20-fold increase) by 7 days after induction. In order to clarify the mechanism of induction, it was necessary to measure the rate of AChE synthesis and its sensitivity to metabolic inhibit...
متن کاملCalcium protects differentiating neuroblastoma cells during 50 Hz electromagnetic radiation.
Despite growing concern about electromagnetic radiation, the interaction between 50- to 60-Hz fields and biological structures remains obscure. Epidemiological studies have failed to prove a significantly correlation between exposure to radiation fields and particular pathologies. We demonstrate that a 50- to 60-Hz magnetic field interacts with cell differentiation through two opposing mechanis...
متن کاملThe toxicity of chlorpyrifos towards differentiating mouse N2a neuroblastoma cells.
The aim of this work was to study the effects of chlorpyrifos (CPF) on the outgrowth of axons by differentiating mouse N2a neuroblastoma cells. This was achieved by morphological, Western blotting and enzymatic analyses of cells induced to differentiate in the presence and absence of CPF added either at the same time (co-differentiation) or 16 h after (post-differentiation) the induction of cel...
متن کاملTubulin constancy during morphological differentiation of mouse neuroblastoma cells
Clonal cell lines N18 and N103 of the mouse neuroblastoma C1300 possess an undifferentiated neuroblast morphology under optimal growth conditions; however, when deprived of serum, N18 can be induced to extend long neurites. Although initial neurite outgrowth is rapid, very long fibers are found only after several days. Both initial outgrowths and established neurites contain microtubules; howev...
