چکیده

Tumor-promoting phorbol esters stimulated mouse bone marrow cells to form myeloid colonies in agar cultures without added colony-stimulating factors. The colony-stimulating ability of various phorbol esters correlated well with their ability to promote skin tumors in vivo. These results suggest that phorbol esters mimic the action of specific colony-stimulating factors that regulate growth.

Regulation of myelopoiesis in vitro: partial replacement of colony-stimulating factors by tumor-promoting phorbol esters.

Tumor-promoting phorbol esters such as 1 2-0-tetradecanoyl-phorbol-1 3-acetate (TPA) or phorbol-12.1 3-didecanoate (PDD) stimulate freshly isolated murine bone marrow cells in vitro to form colonies of myeloid cells in semisolid medium without added colony-stimulating factors (CSF). while phorbol and its nonpromoting derivatives do not induce marrow colony formation. TPA-stimulated colonies are...

Tumor-promoting Phorbol Esters

The effect of tumor-promoting phorbol esters on the in vitro proliferation of mouse pluripotent hematopoietic stem cells (CFU-S) was examined using a short-term in vitro culture system and an 11-d spleen colony assay. Phorbol myristate acetate (PMA, 10-7 M), but not the inert compound phorbol, supported the in vitro survival of day 11 CFU-S for 72 h in a manner similar to IL 3. PMA also enhance...

Murine Megakaryocyte Colony Formation

In vitro megakaryocyte differentiation is regulated by two activities: a megakaryocyte colony-stimulating activity (Mk-CSA), which is required for proliferation, and an auxiliary factor, megakaryocyte potentiating activity, which plays a role in later differentiation events. Tumor-promoting phorbol esters alter many cellular differentiation-related events. Thus, it was hypothesized that phorbol...

The effects of tumor-promoting phorbol esters on human granulopoiesis in vitro.

In order to determine whether the tumor-promoting phorbol esters are capable of inducing normal human committed granulocytic-monocytic progenitor cells (CFUc) to proliferate and differentiate in the absence of granulocyte-monocyte colony-stimulating activity (CSA), we studied the effects of these compounds on human granulopoiesis in vitro. We found that when light-density human marrow cells or ...

Interactions of phorbol esters with cellular membranes in vitro.

Esters of phorbol, a family of tumor-promoting agents, interact in vitro with cellular membranes. In CsCl equi librium density gradients, isotopically labeled phorbol didecanoate cosediments with microsomal and nuclear membranes prepared from rat liver. The interaction be tween these membranes and the promoting compound is enhanced in the presence of native or denatured DNA. Moreover, changes i...
