  • Although DNA damage responses (DDRs) are reported to be involved in nitric oxide (NO) production in response to genotoxic stresses, the precise mechanism of DDR-mediated NO production has not been fully understood. Using a genotoxic agent aphidicolin, we investigated how DDRs regulate NO production in bovine aortic endothelial cells. Prolonged (over 24 h) treatment with aphidicolin increased NO production and endothelial NO synthase (eNOS) protein expression, which was accompanied by increased eNOS dimer/monomer ratio, tetrahydrobiopterin levels, and eNOS mRNA expression. A promoter assay using 5'-serially deleted eNOS promoters revealed that Tax-responsive element site, located at -962 to -873 of the eNOS promoter, was responsible for aphidicolin-stimulated eNOS gene expression. Aphidicolin increased CREB activity and ectopic expression of dominant-negative inhibitor of CREB, A-CREB, repressed the stimulatory effects of aphidicolin on eNOS gene expression and its promoter activity. Co-treatment with LY294002 decreased the aphidicolin-stimulated increase in p-CREB-Ser133 level, eNOS expression, and NO production. Furthermore, ectopic expression of dominant-negative Akt construct attenuated aphidicolin-stimulated NO production. Aphidicolin increased p-ATM-Ser1981 and the knockdown of ATM using siRNA attenuated all stimulatory effects of aphidicolin on p-Akt-Ser473, p-CREB-Ser133, eNOS expression, and NO production. Additionally, these stimulatory effects of aphidicolin were similarly observed in human umbilical vein endothelial cells. Lastly, aphidicolin increased acetylcholine-induced vessel relaxation in rat aortas, which was accompanied by increased p-ATM-Ser1981, p-Akt-Ser473, p-CREB-Ser133, and eNOS expression. In conclusion, our results demonstrate that in response to aphidicolin, activation of ATM/Akt/CREB/eNOS signaling cascade mediates increase of NO production and vessel relaxation in endothelial cells and rat aortas.

  • This study was performed by the sister chromatid exchanges (SCEs) to investigate the effects of Aphidicolin (APC) or 2, 4-dinitrophenoi (DNP) on cross-adaptive response to ultraviolet radiation (UV) or ethyl methanesulfonate (EMS) in Chinese hamster ovary (CHO) cells. The pretreatment with 1 J/m$^2$ UV decreased the yield of SCEs induced by subsequent treatment with 8 mM EMS in CHO cells. And the treatment with 10 $\mu$g/ml APC or 50 $\mu$M DNP during incubation after pretreatment with 1 J/m$^2$ UV increased the yield of SCEs induced by 8 mM EMS. The pretreatment with 2 mM EMS decreased the yield of SCEs induced by subsequent treatment with 5 J/m$^2$ UV. The treatment with 10 $\mu$g/ml APC during incubation after 2 mM EMS increased the yield of SCEs induced by 5 J/m$^2$ UV. These results suggest that APC and DNP inhibit cross-adaptive response to pretreatment with UV and subsequent treatment with EMS, and also cross-adaptive response to pretreatment with EMS and subsequent treatment with UV is inhibited by APC in CHO cells.

  • This study was conducted to examine the viability of nuclear transfer bovine embryos following embryo transfer. Donor embryos were treated with nocodazole to arrest their cell-cycle-stage at mitotic(M) phase. After releasing from nocodazole blastomeres were separated and transferred into the enucleated oocytes(BC), or cultured in medium with aphidicolin. Freshly cleaved blastomeres within 1.5h after cleavage(AC) and non-cleaved ones up to 3h after releasing from nocodazole(NC) were transferred into the enucleated oocytes. Blastocysts derived from nuclear transfer were transferred to Day 7~8 recipient cows. Some blastocysts were vitrified and thawed before embryo transfer. Developmental rates to the blastocyst stage were higher in AC(18.1%, P<0.05) than BC(8.6%) and NC(5.1%). Blastocyst development slightly enhanced with aphidicolin(1~2$\mu\textrm{g}$/ml) treatment(16.9~22.6%) compared to non treated control(11.1%). Survival rate fo vitrified nuclear transfer embryos after thawing was 75%(24/32). Twnety-three vitrified nuclear transfer embryos and 3 fresh ones were transferred to 23 recipients, 6 heads were pregnant and 1 male calf(24 kg) was born from a recipient cow recevied one vitrifiedthawed nuclear transfer embryo at 277 days after embryo transfer. This result suggests that the nuclear transfer embryos can developed to term after vitrification andembryo transfer.

  • To improve the efficiency of nuclear transplantation in the rabbit, this study were evaluated the influence of celly cycle of donor nuclei on the in vitro developmental potential in the nuclear transplant embryos. The embryos of 16-cell stage were collected from the mated does at 48h post-hCG injection and they were synchronized to G1 phase of 32-cell stage. Synchronization of the cell cylce of blastomeres were induced, first, using an microtubules polymerization inhibitor, 0.5$\mu\textrm{g}$/ml colcemid for 10h to arrest blastomeres in metaphase, and secondly, using a DNA synthesis inhibitor, 0.1$\mu\textrm{g}$/ml aphidicolin for 1.5 to 2h to cleave to 32-cell stage and arrest them in G1 phase. The separated G1 phase blastomeres of 32-cell stage were injectied into enucleated recipient cytoplasms by micromanipulation. After culture until 20h post-hCG injection, the nuclear transplant oocytes were electrofused and activated by electrical stimulation. The nuclear transplant embryos were co-cultured for 120h. In vitro cultured embryos were monitored every 24h to assess for development rate. After in vitro cultue for 120h, the nuclear transplant embryos developed to blastocyst stage were stained with Hoechst 33342 dye for counting the number of blastomeres under a fluorescence microscopy. The cleavage rate of blastomeres from 16-cell stage stage rabbit embryos treated with colcemid for 10h or aphidicolin for 6h following colcemid for 10h were not significantly different. The electrofusion rate was similar by high in S and G1 phase donor nuclei as 80.6 and 79.1%, respectively. However, the nuclear transplant embryos using G1 phase donor nuclei were developed to blastocyst at high rate(60.3%) than those using S phase donor nuclei(26.0%). Moreover, the mean blastocyst stage were increased significantly(P<0.05) with the G1 phase donor nuclei(176.6 cells and 1.50 cycles), as compared with the S phase donor nuclei(136.6 cells and 1.42 cycles). These results show that the blastomeres of G1 phase were more successful as donor nuclei in the nuclear transplant procedure, compared with S phase.

  • To identify the component(s) involved in cell cycle control in the protozoan Giardia lamblia, cells arrested at the G1/S- or G2-phase by treatment with nocodazole and aphidicolin were prepared from the synchronized cell cultures. RNA-sequencing analysis of the 2 stages of Giardia cell cycle identified several cell cycle genes that were up-regulated at the G2-phase. Transcriptome analysis of cells in 2 distinct cell cycle stages of G. lamblia confirmed previously reported components of cell cycle (PcnA, cyclin B, and CDK) and identified additional cell cycle components (NEKs, Mad2, spindle pole protein, and CDC14A). This result indicates that the cell cycle machinery operates in this protozoan, one of the earliest diverging eukaryotic lineages.

  • 본 연구는 Ethyl methanesulfonato(EMS) 혹은 Bleomycin(BLM)에 의해 유발된 DNA상해의 회복에 미치는 DNA 종합효소 $\alpha$ 저해제인 Aphidicolin(APC)과 DNA 종합효소 $\beta$의 저해제인 2`, 3`-dideoxythymididine 5`-triphosphate(ddTTP)의 영향을 조사하기 위하여 Chinese hamster ovary(CHO)-Kl 세포를 재료로 비주기성 DNA 합성법과 알칼리유출법 및 스칼리 자당구배침강법으로 수행하여 얻은 결과는 다음과 같다. APC와 ddTTP는 EMS에 의해 유발된 DNA 상해의 회복을 저해하여 APC 혹은 ddTTP를 처리하지 않고 배양한 실험군 보다 비주기성 DNA 합성율과 DNA 단사 절단율이 증가되었다. 한편 BLM에 의해 유발된 DNA 상해의 회복에서는 ddTTP를 처리했을 경우에만 저해되었다. 즉 BLM 처리 후 ddTTP를 후처리한 실험군의 비주기성 DNA 합성율과 DNA단사 절단율은 ddTTP를 처리하지 않은 군보다 증가되었고, BLM 처리 후 APC를 후처리할 경우에 비주기성 DNA 합성율과 DNA 단사 절단율은 APC를 처리하지 않은 군과 유사하였다. 이상의 결과들에서 EMS에 의해 유발된 DNA 상해의 회복에는 DNA 중합효소 $\alpha$, $\beta$양자가 관여하나 BLM에 의해 유발된 DNA 상해의 회복에는 중합효소 $\beta$가 관여하는 것으로 추측된다.

  • 동시화시킨 CHO세포를 재료로하여 EMS 혹은 BLM에 의해 유발된 염색체 이상에 미치는 APC, ddTTP, 그리고 NOV의 효과를 조사하였다. 세포의 동시화는 thymidine block방법을 사용하였다. APC, ddTTP, 그리고 NOV의 단독처리는 염색체 이상을 유발하지 않았다. EMS에 의해 유발된 염색체 이상은 late G$_1$과 early S기에 높은 감수성을 나타내었고, BLM에 의해 유발된 염색체 이상은 G$_2$기에 가장 높은 감수성을 나타내었다. APC를 후처리할 경우 late G$_1$기와 early S기에서 EMS에 의해 유발된 염색체이상을 증가시켰다. 그러나 ddTTP나 NOV를 복합처리하기전 NOV를 전처리하면 late G$_1$기와 early S기에서의 염색체 이상이 증가되었다. 이런 결과들은 여러 가지 돌연변이원에 따라 각기 다른 세포내 반응이 유발되며 염색체 이상에서의 각 효소들의 활성 또한 다른 것으로 추측된다.

  • Chinese hamster ovary (CHO)-K1 cells echibited a differential sensitivity in the process of DNA repair synthesis induced by ethyl methanesulfonate (EMS) or bleomycin (BLM) in relation to cell cycle. Two assays were employed in this study: alkaline elution and unscheduled DNA synthesis. The post-treat-ment with aphidicolin (APC), an inhibitor of DNA polymerase alpha, inhibited DNA repair synthesis induced by EMS in G2 phase, while APC did not show any effect on BLM-induced DNA repair synthesis in all phases. On the other hands, the 2', 3'-dideoxythymidine (ddTTP), an inhibitor of DNA polymerase beta, inhibited DNA repair synthesis induced by EMS or BLM in both of G1 and G2 phases. These results suggested that the involvement of DNA polymerase alpha and beta in DNA repair was dependent on cell stage or used chemical agent.
