1-Methylnicotinamide stimulates cell growth and inhibits hemoglobin synthesis in differentiating murine erythroleukemia cells

Exposure of murine erythroleukemia cells (MELCs) to nicotinamide (NA) or its synthetic analog N′-methylnicotinamide (N′-MN) reduces cell growth and induces terminal differentiation, marked by increased heme and globin accumulation. On the contrary, 1-methylnicotinamide (1-MN), the primary metabolite of excess NA, was found to stimulate cell growth and reduce spontaneous differentiation of cultured MELCs. Log phase MELCs exhibited up to 50% higher cell density above untreated cells when cultured for up to 96 h with 2.5 mM 1-MN. When combined with NA or several chemically-unrelated inducers of hemoglobin synthesis in cultured MELCs, 1-MN reduced the globin mRNA levels and heme accumulation by 40–80%. 1-MN was able to inhibit heme production if present during only the first 24–48 h after NA exposure. Pre-treatment with 1-MN could not confer resistance of cells to effects of NA, suggesting the inhibition is reversible. Commitment to differentiate in semisolid medium by the most potent inducer, 5 mM N′-MN, was inhibited up to 95% by 2.5 mM concentrations of 1-MN. It appears that 1-MN has opposing effects on growth and induction of differentiation than those seen in MELC cultures exposed to NA or N′-MN.

Genetic segregation analysis of red blood cell (RBC) histamine N-methyltransferase (HNMT) activity

Methylation is an important pathway in the biotransformation of many drugs, neurotransmitters, and xenobiotic compounds. Histamine N-methyltransferase (HNMT) catalyzes the Nτ-methylation of histamine and structurally related compounds. Measurement of HNMT activity in the RBC makes it possible to access variation in the enzyme activity that may reflect differences in less accessible tissues such as brain. Previously reported high family correlations for RBC HNMT activity suggested that genetic inheritance plays a major role in the regulation of variation in this enzyme. In the present study we completed complex segregation analyses of RBC HNMT activity of 241 individuals in 51 nuclear families that were randomly ascertained through children in the Rochester, Minnesota public school system in order to characterize the mode of inheritance of this important enzyme. We found evidence for major gene influence on the regulation of RBC HNMT activity. Both transformed and untransformed data support the presence of Mendelian major gene segregation, but the gene frequency differences do not indicate a direct correspondence between genotypes inferred from the two sets of analyses. Analyses of the skewed untransformed data indicated the presence of a relatively rare (Q = 0.121) additive major gene for high activity, with the three overlapping genotype distributions representing 77, 21, and 2 % of individuals. Analyses of the normalized transformed data indicated the presence of a common (Q = 0.71) additive major gene for high activity, with the three overlapping genotype distributions accounting for 9, 41, and 50 % of individuals. The analyses of transformed data give the best fit as well as the most parsimonious Mendelian major gene model. However, we cannot rule out the possibility of multiple alleles, and analyses of untransformed data provide some support for a third allele. Molecular studies will be needed to validate and characterize the alleles that regulate RBC HNMT activity levels in humans. © 1993 Wiley-Liss. Inc.

三氧化二砷对皮肤成纤维细胞、中性粒细胞MMPs活性,TIMP-1及TGF-β1表达的影响

目的：砒石是化腐生肌的常用中药，其主要成分是三氧化二砷（As₂O₃）。本研究通过观察As₂O₃对基质金属蛋白酶（MMPs）活性、基质金属蛋白酶组织抑制因子-1（TIMP-1）及转化生长因子β₁（TGF-β₁）表达影响，探讨化腐中药能否调节胶原代谢，从而治疗慢性皮肤溃疡。方法:明胶酶谱法检测大鼠中性粒细胞（PMNs）来源的MMP-9活性、人成纤维细胞（hFb）分泌的MMP-1、MMP-2的活性，免疫细胞化学法检测hFb TIMP-1、TGF-β₁的表达。结果:As₂O₃浓度在50 mg/L时可以提高大鼠PMNs来源的MMP-9的活性（P<0.01）；在0.8 mg/L可以提高hFb分泌的MMP-1、MMP-2的活性（分别P<0.01）；同时As₂O₃作用于hFb 6 h、12 h、18 h后，TIMP-1、TGF-β₁表达持续降低（P<0.01）。结论:As₂O₃在一定范围内可提高PMNs来源的MMP-9的活性；也可提高hFb分泌的MMP-1、MMP-2的活性，同时抑制hFbTIMP-1、TGF-β₁的表达。提示砷类制剂可通过提高多种MMPs的活性，降低TIMP-1的表达从而发挥化腐作用。
