چکیده

The synthesis of serum albumin has been studied in hybrids between well-differentiated rat hepatoma cells, which synthesize serum albumin, and mouse fibroblasts (3T3) that do not synthesize albumin. By immunodiffusion techniques with noncrossreacting antisera, the production of both rat and mouse albumin by the hybrids has been examined. Karyologically identified hybrids were produced between 3T3 cells and cells of a 1s hepatoma (Fu5) clone, and of a 2s hepatoma (2s Fu5-5cl.lE) clone. Each of the 3T3 x Fu5 hybrids produces only rat albumin. Among five 3T3 x 2s Fu5-5cl.lE hybrid clones isolated, one produces both rat and mouse albumin, two produce only mouse albumin, and two do not produce rat or mouse albumin.

Production of serum proteins in normal diploid fibroblast-hepatoma cell hybrids and in A9-normal liver cell hybrids.

Two series of interspecific hybrids have been generated between liver cells (which actively secrete several serum proteins) and fibroblasts (which do not). In each series, one of the parental cells was a normal diploid cell: mouse hepatoma cells were fused with normal diploid rat fibroblasts, and normal rat liver cells were fused with mouse fibroblasts of the permanent line A9. The production o...

Immunofluorescence analysis of the time-course of extinction, reexpression, and activation of albumin production in rat hepatoma- mouse fibroblast heterokaryons and hybrids

We have used a combination of a sensitive immunocytochemical stain for intracellular albumin, and Hoechst 33258 dye for identification of parental nuclei to investigate the time-course of extinction, reexpression, and activation of albumin production in fusion products of 1s (hyperdiploid) or 2s (hypertetradiploid) rat hepatoma cells with mouse fibroblasts (L cells or embryonic cells). In all c...

Gene Expression under F8 Promoter Driving In Mouse Hepatoma Cells: A Step towards Gene Therapy of Hemophilia

Background and Objectives: Significant progress has been made in treatment of hemophilia. Ex-vivo gene therapy is going popular due to the capability of this method in using isogenic cells for genetic manipulation and reintroducing them into same host after proliferation. Most gene therapy techniques use viral vectors, which usually harbor a strong and non-specific promoter (e...

HYBRIDS FROM A CROSS OF RAT HEPATOMA CELLS WITH DIPLOID EPITHELIAL CELLS FROM RAT LIVER HAVE BEEN STUDIED WITH RESPECT TO KARYOTYPE AND EXPRESSION OF TWO FUNCTIONS LIMITED TO THE HEPATOMA PARENT: high level of the enzyme tyrosine aminotransferase (EC 2.6.1.5; L-tyrosine:2-oxoglutarate aminotransferase) and its inducibility with steroid hormones. The hybrids that contain the complete chromosomal...

Angiotensinogen production by rat hepatoma cells in culture and analysis of its regulation by techniques of somatic cell genetics

Angiotensinogen was synthesized by cells derived from the Reuber H35 rat hepatoma. Independent clones produced similar amounts of angiotensinogen, which corresponded to about four times more than expected for normal hepatocytes. The protein was secreted rapidly but could be visualized within cells using immunofluorescence. For one clone, it is shown that maximal angiotensinogen synthesis occurr...
