چکیده

Peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PMC), isolated by density gradient techniques with Ficoll-Hypaque, contain T- and B-lymphocytes and monocytes. Aryl hydrocarbon hydroxylase (AHH) activity was measured in PMC subfractions consisting of T-lymphocyte-enriched, T-lymphocyte-depleted, and monocyte-depleted populations. The T-cell-enriched populations consistently showed enhancement of AHH activity with both the fluorometric and radiometric technique when compared to the total PMC population. This enhanced AHH activity was observed when T-cell-enriched populations were isolated either before or after 96 hr of lymphocyte culture, by the sheep red blood cell rosette method, or by the nylon wool column technique before lymphocyte culture. T-cell-depleted populations (B-cell enriched) obtained by sheep red blood cell rosette method had diminished AHH activity. Monocytes were shown to contribute to the total PMC AHH activity through an indirect technique by first depleting the monocytes from PMC with the carbonyl iron method. The monocyte-depleted populations had less AHH activity than did the total PMC population after both 24 and 96 hr of culture. The greatest amount of AHH activity was present in PMC populations with their native number of monocytes when cultured for 96 hr in the presence of mitogens.

Development of an assay for aryl hydrocarbon (benzo(a)pyrene) hydroxylase in human peripheral blood monocytes.

An assay has been developed and measurements of aryl hydrocarbon [benzo(a)pyrene] hydroxylase have been made in peripheral blood monocytes from a human population. Treatment with benz(a)anthracene in cell culture increased aryl hydrocarbon hydroxylase activity from 6.5 to 37-fold in monocytes from each of 25 apparently healthy donors. A weak correlation (r = 0.38) was observed between the induc...

Comparison of aryl hydrocarbon hydroxylase induction in cultured blood lymphocytes and pulmonary macrophages.

Aryl hydrocarbon hydroxylase induction was studied in cultured peripheral blood lymphocytes and pulmonary alveolar macrophages from 15 smokers and 8 nonsmokers with a variety of pulmonary diseases. Enzyme levels in lymphocytes from cigarette smokers cultured in medium without an inducing agent were 57+/-6 mU/10(6) cells (mean+/-SEM), while enzyme levels in lymphocytes from nonsmokers were 20+/-...

The Influence of Iron Loading and Iron Chelation on the Proliferation and Telomerase Activity of Human Peripheral Blood Mononuclear Cells

Background: Iron is an essential trace element in cell proliferation. Several investigations demonstrate that iron deprivation inhibits cell proliferation. However, the impact of iron on telomerase activity of activated lymphocytes remains unexplained to date. Objective: In this study, the effect of iron on the proliferation and telomerase activity of lymphocytes stimulated by phytohemagglutini...
