Uridine transport and phosphorylation in mouse cells in culture: effect of growth-promoting factors, cell cycle transit and oncogenic transformation

Journal of Cellular Physiology

Abstract

The rapid increase in uridine uptake produced by the addition of serum to quiescent cultures of fibroblasts is primarily caused by an enhanced rate of nucleoside phosphorylation. While quiescent and serum-stimulated cells display identical initial rates of transport, they show a considerable change in the composition of the acid-soluble pools labelled with [3H] uridine for five seconds. The radioactivity recovered in the phosphorylated pools increases 2-, 3-, 4- and 6-fold after addition of serum to cultures of Swiss 3T3 cells, tertiary mouse embryo fibroblasts, Swiss 3T6 and Balb 3T3, cells respectively. Furthermore, insulin, a growth factor isolated from medium conditioned by SV40 BHK cells (FDGF) and epidermal growth factor (EGF) also stimulate uridine phosphorylation within minutes. The initial rate of uridine uptake is 2- to 3-fold faster in rapidly growing normal and Simian virus 40 or polyoma virus transformed 3T3 cells as compared to untransformed 3T3 cells in the quiescent state. When quiescent cultures of 3T3 or mouse embryo cells are stimulated to leave G1 and enter into DNA synthesis, transport increases several hours after addition of serum and apparently coincides with the S phase of the cell cycle. The results de...Continue Reading

COVID-19

Coronaviruses encompass a large family of viruses that cause the common cold as well as more serious diseases, such as the ongoing outbreak of coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19; formally known as 2019-nCoV). Coronaviruses can spread from animals to humans; symptoms include fever, cough, shortness of breath, and breathing difficulties; in more severe cases, infection can lead to death. This feed covers recent research on COVID-19.

Blastomycosis

Blastomycosis fungal infections spread through inhaling Blastomyces dermatitidis spores. Discover the latest research on blastomycosis fungal infections here.

Nuclear Pore Complex in ALS/FTD

Alterations in nucleocytoplasmic transport, controlled by the nuclear pore complex, may be involved in the pathomechanism underlying multiple neurodegenerative diseases including Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis and Frontotemporal Dementia. Here is the latest research on the nuclear pore complex in ALS and FTD.

Applications of Molecular Barcoding

The concept of molecular barcoding is that each original DNA or RNA molecule is attached to a unique sequence barcode. Sequence reads having different barcodes represent different original molecules, while sequence reads having the same barcode are results of PCR duplication from one original molecule. Discover the latest research on molecular barcoding here.

Chronic Fatigue Syndrome

Chronic fatigue syndrome is a disease characterized by unexplained disabling fatigue; the pathology of which is incompletely understood. Discover the latest research on chronic fatigue syndrome here.

Evolution of Pluripotency

Pluripotency refers to the ability of a cell to develop into three primary germ cell layers of the embryo. This feed focuses on the mechanisms that underlie the evolution of pluripotency. Here is the latest research.

Position Effect Variegation

Position Effect Variagation occurs when a gene is inactivated due to its positioning near heterochromatic regions within a chromosome. Discover the latest research on Position Effect Variagation here.

STING Receptor Agonists

Stimulator of IFN genes (STING) are a group of transmembrane proteins that are involved in the induction of type I interferon that is important in the innate immune response. The stimulation of STING has been an active area of research in the treatment of cancer and infectious diseases. Here is the latest research on STING receptor agonists.

Microbicide

Microbicides are products that can be applied to vaginal or rectal mucosal surfaces with the goal of preventing, or at least significantly reducing, the transmission of sexually transmitted infections. Here is the latest research on microbicides.
