Elevated Sterol Synthesis in Lymphocytic Leukemia Cells from Two Inbred Strains of Micel
نویسندگان
چکیده
Cell suspensions of normal and leukemic mouse lympho cytes from spleens, thymuses, and mesenteric lymph nodes actively incorporate acetate into cellular lipids. The de novo synthesis of digitonin-precipitable sterols in leukemic cells is tenfold greater than that of normal cells and is associated with a correspondingly increased activity of the rate-limiting enyzme, 3-hydroxy-3-methylglutaryl coenzyme A reducÃ-ase. In contrast, synthesis of fatty acids is only slightly enhanced and production of CO2 is not affected because of leukemogenesis.

متن کاملEffect of curcumin on growth inhibition and gene expression reduction in chronic lymphocytic leukemia cells (CLL-CII)
Introduction: Chronic lymphocytic leukemia (CLL) is the most frequent leukemia in adults living in Western countries. with a diverse clinical course that due to life expectancy less than two years between patients finding ,new therapeutic strategies is essential for it. Curcumin as the biologic active of turmeric, has many biological properties such as anti-inflammatory, anti-oxidant, anti-diab...
متن کاملAnalysis of HLA-G Gene Expression in B-Lymphocytes from Chronic Lymphocytic Leukemia Patients
The human leukocyte antigen G (HLA-G) molecule exhibits limited tissue distribution, low polymorphism and alternative splicings that generate seven HLA-G isoforms. HLA-G exerts multiple immunoregulatory functions. Recent studies indicate an ectopic up-regulation in tumor cells that may favor their escape from anti-tumor immune responses. This study it is an effort to clarify the presence of HLA...
متن کاملDown-regulation of miR-193b-3p and miR-376a-3p in Chronic Lymphocytic Leukemia
Background: Chronic lymphocytic leukemia (CLL) is the most common adult human leukemia. Studies revealed that microRNAs (miRNAs) can function as oncogenes or tumor suppressors in CLL and that the expression of miRNAs, such as miR-193b-3p and miR-376a-3p change in several diseases. We aimed to elucidate the changes in miR-193b-3p and miR-376a-3p expression in CLL and determine their potential as...
متن کاملStimulation of Sterol Synthesis in Peripheral Leukocytes of Leukemic Mice1
Bone marrow cells and peripheral blood leukocytes from leukemic AKR/J mice synthesize sterols from acetate at a vastly greater rate than the respective cells from normal AKR/J mice, i.e., approximately 20and 100-fold. The controlling enzyme of sterol synthesis, 3-hydroxy-3-melhylglutaryl coenzyme A reducÃ-ase, is readily detectable in gradient-purified leukocytes from leukemic mice, whereas nor...
