Signal transduction pathway for L-ascorbic acid- and L-ascorbic acid 2-glucoside-induced DNA synthesis and cell proliferation in primary cultures of adult rat hepatocytes.

چکیده
We examined the effects of L-ascorbic acid and its analogues on DNA synthesis and cell proliferation. We also investigated the signal transduction pathways involved in the induction of mitogenesis by L-ascorbic acid and its analogues using primary cultures of adult rat hepatocytes. Following a 4-h serum-free cultivation, both L-ascorbic acid and its stable analogue, L-ascorbic acid 2-glucoside, time- and dose-dependently stimulated hepatocyte DNA synthesis and cell proliferation, with EC₅₀ values of 6.46×10⁻⁸ M and 3.34×10⁻⁸ M, respectively. Dehydroascorbic acid (10⁻⁶ M-10⁻⁵ M) weakly stimulated hepatocyte mitogenesis, whereas isoascorbic acid (10⁻⁹ M-10⁻⁵ M) had no effect. Hepatocyte mitogenesis induced by L-ascorbic acid or L-ascorbic acid 2-glucoside was dose-dependently abolished by treatment with monoclonal antibodies against insulin-like growth factor (IGF)-I receptor, but not by treatment with monoclonal antibodies against insulin receptor or IGF-II receptor. Western blot analysis showed that both L-ascorbic acid and L-ascorbic acid 2-glucoside significantly stimulated IFG-I receptor tyrosine kinase activity within 3 min, and mitogen-activated protein (MAP) kinase activity within 5 min. These results demonstrate that both L-ascorbic acid and L-ascorbic acid 2-glucoside induce DNA synthesis and cell proliferation in primary cultures of adult rat hepatocytes by interacting with the IGF-I receptor site and by activating the receptor tyrosine kinase/MAP kinase pathway.

متن کاملThe Effect of Ascorbic Acid and Garlic Administration on Lead-Induced Apoptosis in Rat Offspring\'s Eye Retina
Introduction: Lead toxicity induces retinal cell apoptosis. Vitamin C and garlic may decrease lead-induced apoptosis. This study was undertaken to investigate vitamin C and garlic protective effects on lead-induced apoptosis in eye retina. Methods: Pregnant Wistar rats (n = 72) were divided randomly into 9 groups: (L) treated rats with lead acetate in drinking water and (L+AA) with leaded water...
متن کاملThe Inhibitory Effects of Ascorbic Acid, ?-Tocopherol, and Sodium Selenite on Proliferation of Breast Cancer Cell Lines
The role of antioxidants in prevention and treatment of cancers have been reported by several studies. In our investigation we studied the effects of ascorbic acid, ?-tocopherol, and sodium selenite on proliferation of two breast cancer cell lines: T47D (estrogen-receptor positive) and MDA-MB-231 (estrogen-receptor negative). We also used 17-?-estradiol as positive control for proliferation of ...
