چکیده

uridine (lUdR) there was an increase in alkaline phosphatase activity after about 24 hr, reaching a maximum usually at about 72 hi. At this concentration, during this time, there was a relatively small inhibition of cell replication. The increment in alkaline phosphatase activity was in large measure prevented by concomitant addition of 10 /¿Mthymidine. Further, lUdR did not increase alkaline phosphatase activity in a mutant line of HeLa cells lacking thymidine kinase. These data indicate that lUdR must be phosphorylated and incorporated into DNA to increase alkaline phosphatase activity. lUdR also usually increased alkaline phosphatase activity of HeLa71 which has a high constitutive level of the enzyme. lUdR did not affect the alkaline phosphatase activity elevated by prior treatment with 1 n\l hydrocortisone. On the other hand, 1 ¿iM hydrocortisone further increased the already elevated alkaline phosphatase activity in cells pretreated with 5 ¿iMlUdR, although after hydrocortisone addition the final level of enzyme activity attained in lUdR-treated and untreated cells was the same.

Induction of alkaline phosphatase activity in HeLa cells by choline chloride.

Choline chloride produced a dose-dependent induction of alkaline phosphatase activity in HeLa cells. At the highest concentration tested, 40 mM, there was a 5- to 7-fold increase in alkaline phosphatase activity, a significantly greater induction than that produced by equiosmolar additions of either NaCl or sucrose. Enzyme activity was higher than control values by 24 hr after the addition of t...

An Alkaline Phosphatase Reporter Gene Assay for Induction of CYP3A4 In Vitro

CYP3A4 probably has the broadest catalytic activity of any cytochrome P450. It is a crucial task to test new drug candidates in a reliable system for their ability to induce expression of this enzyme. Firstly, a total of 300 bp core distal enhancer of CYP3A4 XREM region (-7972/-7673) were amplified from human genomic DNA. The PCR product was then ligated into a human secretory alkaline phosphat...

Ultrastructural and enzymic modulation of HeLa cells induced by sodium butyrate and the effects of cytochalasin B and colcemid.

Sodium butyrate causes HeLa cells to assume an elongated and jagged shape. Ultrastructurally this change is associated with the formation of bundles of microfilaments. Desmosomes were present between adjacent cells. No increase in microtubules was observed in the butyrate-treated cells. Butyrate induces an increase in the activity of 2 membrane-bound enzymes, alkaline phosphatase and 5'-nucleot...

The effect of bromodeoxyuridine and dibutyryl cyclic AMP on the induction of placental alkaline phosphate in human choriocarcinoma cells.

The effect of 5-bromo-2'-deoxyuridine (BrdUrd) and dibutyryl cyclic AMP (Bt2cAMP) on the expression of the placental isoenzyme of human alkaline phosphatase was examined in BeWo choriocarcinoma cells. By using a combination of specific immunoprecipitation and polyacrylamide-gel electrophoresis of cells labelled either metabolically with [35S]methionine or cell-surface-labelled with 125I, both B...
