Regulation of acetylcholinesterase in neuroblastoma cells.

چکیده
The specific activity of mouse neuroblastoma acetylcholinesterase (EC 3.1.1.7) increased 25-fold when the rate of cell division was restricted. The results show that acetylcholinesterase activity is regulated in neuroblastoma cells and that the regulatory mechanism is inversely related to the rate of cell division. Under the same conditions the specific activity of catechol-O-methyl transferase (EC 2.1.1.6) did not change significantly.

Histochemical demonstration of acetylcholinesterase in neuroblastoma.
The presence of acetylcholinesterase in the tumour cells of neuroblastoma has been shown by enzyme histochemistry. For comparison, some other tumours likely to be found in children and commonly presenting histologically as small cell tumours have also been studied. Acetylcholinesterase activity was seen in rhabdomyosarcoma, but, compared with neuroblastoma, the activity was focal and sparse. On...
متن کاملInduction of neuronal functions: acetylcholine-induced acetylcholinesterase activity in mouse neuroblastoma cells.
Addition of acetylcholine to growing cultures of mouse neuroblastoma cells induced a 37-fold increase in the specific activity of acetylcholinesterase (EC 3.1.1.7). Morphological changes, consisting of neurite-extensions, were also observed during the logarithmic phase of growth of cells stimulated with acetylcholine. A histochemical procedure for localization of acetylcholinesterase was used w...
متن کاملRegulation of cyclic adenosine 3':5'-monophosphate-binding protein in N-18 mouse neuroblastoma cells.
The regulation of cyclic adenosine 3':5'-monophosphate (cAMP)-binding protein in N-18 neuroblastoma cells in tissue culture was studied by the covalent incorporation of 8-azido-cyclic adenosine 3':5'-[32P]monophosphate, together with the techniques of sodium dodecyl sulfate:polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis and autoradiography. Greater than 95% of the total cAMP binding activity of N-18 neurob...
متن کاملNeuroprotection of N-benzylcinnamide on scopolamine-induced cholinergic dysfunction in human SH-SY5Y neuroblastoma cells
Alzheimer's disease, a progressive neurodegenerative disease, affects learning and memory resulting from cholinergic dysfunction. Scopolamine has been employed to induce Alzheimer's disease-like pathology in vivo and in vitro through alteration of cholinergic system. N-benzylcinnamide (PT-3), purified from Piper submultinerve, has been shown to exhibit neuroprotective properties against amyloid...
متن کاملStudy of the Association between Congenital Heart Defects and Neuroblastoma in Abdominal Sonography
Abstract Background A higher prevalence of congenital heart defects (CHD) in neuroblastoma patients in general population is reported in some publications, however, some authors did not find such an association. The evidence for this relation comes from the observation that, the neural crest cells accompany to the development of the heart and neuroblastoma as well. Materials and Methods We...
