Ehrlich Ascites Cells

It has long been known that fat accumulates in old injured cells both in tissue culture and in many mammalian disease states. The use of L cells grown in suspension tissue culture permitted the opportunity to study conditions in which lipide accumulation could be retarded or accelerated. These cultures exhibit a three-phase growth curve which is similar to that previously found with bacteria and consists of a lag period, logarithmic growth period, and stationary period. Daily aliquots were removed from cultures going through these phases and protein and cholesterol content correlated with cell division. It was found that L cells gradually accumulated lipide in the cell concurrent with retardation of cell division and protein synthesis. Conversely old lipide-laden cells, placed in fresh media and encouraged to active division with net protein synthesis progressed from a high to a low lipide/cell ratio over a period of 2 to 4 days. An amino acid analogue p-fluorophenylalanine and a mitotic inhibitor, colchicine, also markedly increased the lipide/cell ratio. Similar results were found in in vitro experiments with Ehrlich ascites cells.

1. Proteins extracted from the seeds of the Euphorbiaceae croton tiglium and Jatropha curcas were separated into three major peaks (I, II, and III) by Sephadex chromatography. 2. The crude protein from both seeds and peaks I and II from Croton and peak I from Jatropha were toxic to mice, to different extents. 3. The crude protein and peak I and peak II from both seeds, inhibited protein synthesis by a reticulocyte lysate; maximum inhibition was exerted by peak II from both seeds. None of these preparations affected protein synthesis in vitro by Ehrlich ascites cells.

1. Modeccin, the toxin of Adenia digitata (Modecca digitata), was purified from the roots of this plant by affinity chromatography on Sepharose 4B. 2. This toxin is a protein with mol.wt. 57000, which on treatment with 2-mercaptoethanol can be dissociated into two subunits of mol.wts. 25000 and 32000. 3. Modeccin inhibits protein synthesis in vitro in a lysate of rabbit reticulocytes and in Ehrlich ascites cells; the effect on cells is decreased in the presence of lactose. 4. Dissociation of modeccin into subunits decreases the toxicity to animals and the inhibition of protein synthesis in cells, but enhances the inhibition of protein synthesis in the lysate system.

X Irradiation

The rate of DNA synthesis in Ehrlich ascites cells measured immediately after X-irradiation of 500 r for 6 minutes in vitro showed about 15% reduction. However, if X-irradiation was followed by preincubation of the cells, the subsequent synthesis of DNA in the X-irradiated cells was markedly inhibited. Under the same condition, the uptake of thymidine-2-C14, uridine-2-C14, adenine-8-C14, and glycine-1-C14, and protein synthesis in the X-irradiated cells were found to be almost the same as those in the non-irradiated control. RNA synthesis measured as total RNA was only slightly inhibited.

The transplantation of skin from one rabbit to another elicits a reaction that conforms in main outline with that of an actively acquired immunity. The experiments described in this paper were designed to test the hypothesis that the regression of such grafts is secured by the action of antibodies demonstrable in vitro. Skin from adult rabbits has therefore been cultivated in the presence of serum and growing mesenchymal tissues derived solely from rabbits heavily and specifically immunized against it. Immune sera and tissues are without effect on the survival, cell-division frequency and migratory activities of explanted skin, and agglutinins for epidermal cell suspensions are not demonstrable in immune sera. With certain stated qualifications, it has therefore been concluded that the occurrence of free antibodies is not a sufficient explanation of the regression of skin homografts in vivo.

During the evaluation of a method of preparing permealysed Ehrlich ascites cells, shortterm labelling experiments were carried out with d[3H]TTP. In the first minute the bulk of the label appeared as low-molecular-weight pieces of DNA. Subsequently the label appeared in DNA of much higher molecular weight. A brief description of the preparation procedure and the properties of the product is provided. Evidence is presented to show that the nucleotide was incorporated directly without intermediate conversion into dTMP or thymidine.
