Abstract
Actin mRNA levels were measured in Entamoeba histolytica trophozoites after experimentally inducing changes in the organization of the cytoskeleton. The treatment of trophozoites with forskolin, N6,2'-O-dibutyryl-adenosine 3':5'-cyclic monophosphate, and phorbol myristate acetate induced the organization of actin into multiple dots and defined structures with a concomitant increase in F-actin content. Cytochalasin D elicited polarization of the structured actin and formation of aggregates, as well as an increment in F-actin. Simultaneously, up-regulation of actin mRNA levels was produced by all the drugs. De novo synthesis of actin mRNA, as measured by nuclear run-ons, showed increased transcription of actin mRNA. On the other hand, treatment of cells with actinomycin D blocked the elevation of actin mRNA synthesis induced by forskolin, dibutyryl cyclic AMP, or cytochalasin D whereas, the increment induced by PMA was not affected. These data indicate a regulatory control of actin mRNA synthesis at the transcriptional level by forskolin, dibutyryl cyclic AMP and cytochalasin D, and transcriptional as well as post-transcriptional controls by phorbol myristate acetate. The experiments presented here suggest the possibility that, r...Continue Reading
