چکیده

The polyamines putrescine, spermidine, and spermine have been implicated in the regulation of both cell proliferation and differentiation. We have monitored the relationship of intracellular polyamine levels with proliferation and differentiation of murine Friend erythroleukemia (MEL) cells. The ornithine decarboxylase inhibitor, alpha-difluoromethylornithine, has been used to inhibit MEL proliferation by depleting intracellular putrescine and spermidine. This inhibition of MEL proliferation is abrogated by exogenous putrescine, spermidine, or spermine. The measurement of intracellular polyamine levels following the addition of these exogenous polyamines demonstrates that spermidine is required for MEL proliferation. Further, we have found a highly significant relationship (p less than 0.0001) between intracellular spermidine levels and MEL proliferation. The results also demonstrate that spermidine is required for induction of MEL differentiation by dimethyl sulfoxide, hexamethylene bisacetamide, and butyric acid. Moreover, there is a highly significant relationship (p less than 0.0001) between MEL proliferation and differentiation. The present study thus suggests that spermidine is involved in cell proliferation and, thereby, differentiation of MEL cells.

Key Regulatory Gene Expression in Erythroleukemia Differentiation

The characteristics of cellular and molecular mechanisms associated with cell proliferation and differentiation is important to understand malignancy. In this report we characterise a leukemic model, D5A1, to study the action of differentiation agent, cellular events and gene expression of the selected transcription factors. Cells induced with 4 mM hexamethylene bisacetamide (HMBA) caused signs...

Induction of apoptosis and necrosis in human acute erythroleukemia cells by inhibition of long non-coding RNA PVT1

Recent advances in molecular medicine have proposed new therapeutic strategies for cancer. One of the molecular research lines for the diagnosis and treatment of cancer is the use of long non-coding RNAs (LncRNAs) which are a class of non-coding RNA molecules longer than 200 base pairs in length that act as the key regulator of gene expression. Different aspects of cellular activities like cell...

Effects of BIO on proliferation and chondrogenic differentiation of mouse marrow-derived mesenchymal stem cells

In vitro expansion of mesenchymal stem cell (MSCs) into large number is necessary for their application in cell-based treatment of articular cartilage defects. On the other hand, some studies have indicated that BIO (6-Bromoindirubin-3-Oxime) possesses mitogenic effects on cell culture. The objective of the present study was to examine the effect of BIO on in vitro expansion and chondrogenic di...

Study of Chondrogenic Effects of Chondrocytes Cocultured With Murine Bone Marrow-Derived Mesenchymal Stem Cells

Purpose: Co-culture systems of marrow derived mesenchymal stem cells (mMSCs) with mature chondrocytes have theoretically been considered as a putative way of MSCs chondrogenic differentiation. MSCs differentiated in this system could be used for transplantation purpose without of any need to their purification since the cells with which MSCs are co cultured are native cartilage cells. Despite o...
