Inhibition by plant growth retardants of cholesterol biosynthesis in slices of rat liver and hepatoma.
نویسندگان
چکیده
The plant growth retardant Phosfon inhibits cholesterol formation by cell·free preparations of normal liver and the Morris hepatomas 5123C, 7794A, and 9618A. In addition, both Phosfon and Amo 1618 arc active in inhibiting cholesterol synthesis from acetate and mevalonate in slices of host liver and the hepatomas. Fatty acid synthesis from acetate was also reduced in the presence of the retardants.

Expression of CXC Chemokines Gro/KC and SDF-1a in Rat H4 Hepatoma Cells in Response to Different Stimuli
Background: It is now well established that several environmental stress factors cause activation of p38 MAP kinase and JNK in various cell types to produce chemokines. Objective: To investigate the expression of CXC chemokines Gro/KC and SDF- 1a in rat's H4 hepatoma cells in response to heat shock, hyperosmolarity and oxidative stress. Methods: Hepatoma cells were maintained in MEM medium. Cel...
متن کاملProperties of 3-hydroxy-3-methylglutaryl coenzyme A reductase solubilized from rat liver and hepatoma.
In hepatomas, the activity of 3-hydroxy-3-methylglutaryl coenzyme A reductase, the rate-controlling enzyme in cholesterol biosynthesis, is not normally suppressed by cholesterol. To examine the biochemical mechanism of this loss of feedback control of cholesterol synthesis, a comparison was made of the properties of 3-hydroxy-3-methylglutaryl coenzyme A reductase after solubilization and partia...

متن کاملLipoprotein metabolism by rat hepatomas. Studies on the etiology of defective dietary feedback inhibition of cholesterol synthesis.
In contrast to normal liver, it is known that in vivo hepatomas fail to decrease their rate of cholesterol biosynthesis in response to increased dietary cholesterol. From a consideration of the available data it has been hypothesized that the defect might lie in the delivery of cholesterol to the hepatoma cell. To study this further, lipoprotein interactions with rat hepatoma cells in tissue cu...

Three plant-growth retardants 2'-isopropy1-4'-(trimethylammonium chloride)-5-methylphenylpiperidine carboxylate (Amo 1618), beta-chloroethyltrimethylammonium chloride, and tributyl-2, 4-dichlorobenzylphosphonium chloride were tested for their effects on sterol production in, and growth of tobacco (Nicotiana tabacum) seedlings. As the concentration of each retardant increased, there was an incre...
