EFFECTS OF ACRIDINE PLUS NEAR ULTRAVIOLET LIGHT ON ESCHERICHIA COLI MEMBRANES AND DNA IN VIVO 总被引:1,自引:0,他引:1

Results from a variety of experiments indicate that photodynamic damage to E. coli treated with the hydrophobic photosensitizer acridine plus near-UV light involves both cell membranes and DNA. Split-dose survival experiments with various E. coli mutants reveal that cells defective in rec A, uvr A, or pol A functions are all capable of recovery from photodynamic damage. Alkaline sucrose gradient analysis of DNA from control and treated cells revealed that acridine plus near-UV light treatment converts normal DNA into a more slowly sedimenting form. However, the normal DNA sedimentation properties are not restored under conditions where split-dose recovery is effective. Several lines of evidence suggest that membrane damage may be important in the inactivation of cells by acridine plus near-UV light. These include (a) a strong dependence of sensitivity on the fatty acid composition of the membranes; (b) a strong dependence of sensitivity on the osmolarity of the external medium; and (c) the extreme sensitivity of an E. coli mutant having a defect in its outer membrane barrier properties. Direct evidence that acridine plus near-UV light damages cell membranes was provided by the observations that (a) the plasma membrane becomes permeable to o-nitrophenyl-ß-D-galactopyranoside and (b) the outer membrane becomes permeable to lysozyme after treatment. A notable result was that cells previously sensitized to lysozyme by exposure to acridine plus near-UV light lose that sensitivity upon subsequent incubation. This strongly suggests that E. coli cells are capable of repairing damage localized in the outer membrane. 相似文献

Abstract— The growth delay induced by near-UV radiation has been largely attributed to injured tRNA's and to the stringent response. We report an associated membrane perturbation whose recovery determines substantial modifications in the behavior of log phase Escherichia coli K–12 exposed to sublethal doses of near-UV radiation (366 nm). When incubated at 37°C in plain nutrient broth, cells suffered a growth delay of about 100 min with parallel inhibition of several membrane functions. Conversely, when grown in conditions known to influence membrane activities, these were slightly inhibited and the growth delay lasted about 50 min. All the above conditions triggered the stringent response, characterized by an equivalent post-irradiation burst of intracellular guanosine 5'3' tetra and pentaphosphate and by a similar decay rate of the nucleotides accumulated at time 0 of the growth lag. According to our data the polyphosphates' half decay time in irradiated cells remains practically constant and close to 15 min. But, while cells from unsupplemented broth at 37°C resumed normal growth in around 100 min those with recovered membranes were rescued from growth inhibition in about one half of that time. 相似文献

Abstract The hydrophobic photosensitizer acridine plus near-ultraviolet light damages both plasma membranes and outer membranes in Escherichia coli. Two lines of evidence are presented that outer membrane proteins are affected by acridine plus near-ultraviolet light treatment and that the effect is selective for certain proteins. First, analysis of outer membrane proteins on sodium dodecylsulfate polyacrylamide gels revealed that some protein bands are diminished upon treatment while others remain unaltered. New bands also appear, suggesting degradation or crosslinking reactions. Second, bacteriophage adsorption studies showed that treatment of E. coli F cells with acridine plus near-ultraviolet light causes a loss in functionality of the receptor for phage T5. Treatment of E. coli ABU57 cells under comparable conditions has no discernable effect on the functionality of the receptor for phage BF23. 相似文献

Abstract—The hydrophobic photosensitizers acridine and phenothiazine inactivate the lipid-contnining viruses PM2,φ6, and herpes simplex when samples are illuminated with near-UV radiation. φ23–1- a . which is insensitive to organic solvents and presumably contains no lipids. is not inactivated under comparable conditions. For acridinc, the inactivation of virus requires that oxygen be present and is inhibited by sodium azide, implicating the involvement of singlet oxygen. For phenothiazine, oxygen is not required for photosensitized inactivation. Treatment of PM2 with acridine and near-UV light caused a complete disruption of the virion, as determined by sucrose gradient analysis of treated and untreated samples. These data and related observations suggest that lipid-containing viruses are inactivated through photosensitized membrane damage. 相似文献

Recovery of Chinese hamster cells following photosensitization by zinc tetrahydroxyphthalocyanine 总被引:1,自引:0,他引:1

The phthalocyanine dyes are attractive sensitizers for photodynamic therapy of cancer. The light fluence response curves for photocytotoxicity of zinc tetrahydroxyphthalocyanine were constructed using the colony-forming ability of Chinese hamster cells as an end-point. The survival curve of cells photosensitized to white light by this dye has a pronounced shoulder followed by an exponential decline. Postillumination hypertonic treatment (0.5 M NaCl for 20 min at 37 degrees C) enhanced log-phase killing, although to a lesser extent than after exposure to ionizing radiation. While such an enhancement usually indicates that the cells are able to repair potentially lethal damage, delayed trypsinization of photosensitized cells in plateau-phase failed to show a significant increase in cell survival. Thus, the repair of such a damage in plateau-phase is apparently absent. Experiments with split light fluence indicated that log-phase cells can repair sublethal damage during a 24 h interval, as evidenced by the reappearance of the shoulder on the split-dose survival curve. 相似文献

INHIBITION OF DNA SYNTHESIS BY PSORALEN-INDUCED LESIONS IN XERODERMA PIGMENTOSUM AND FANCONI''S ANEMIA FIBROBLASTS 总被引:1,自引:0,他引:1
Abstract— Exposure of human cells to psoralens and near-UV light produces a mixture of monoadducts and crosslinks in DNA, which inhibit DNA synthesis by blocking replicon initiation and chain elongation. 8-Methoxypsoralen (8-MOP) has a greater effect than angelicin in normal, xeroderma pigmentosum, and Fanconi's anemia cells. Recovery of DNA synthesis is not detectable up to 8 h after exposure. The average distance between lesions that block replication in individual replicons was measured by means of bromodeoxyuridine photolysis. After exposure to 10 μg/mℓ of 8-MOP and 7500 J/m2 of near-UV light, blocks were formed every 20 μm. Replicon initiation was inhibited by exposure to near-UV light alone in normal and xeroderma pigmentosum. Exposure to low concentrations of angelicin or 8-MOP plus near-UV light inhibited replicon initiation in normal and Fanconi's anemia cells, but not in xeroderma pigmentosum cells. Inhibition of initiation was not obvious after treatment with high concentrations of 8-MOP or angelicin because of the dominant effect of crosslinks in blocking chain elongation. 相似文献

Abstract— Stationary cells of four Escherichia coli strains exhibiting all four possible combinations of genes controlling near-UV sensitivity ( nur vs nur + ) and recombination proficiency (far-UV sensitivity; recA1 us recA + ) have been inactivated by visible light in the presence of acridine orange (AO, 10µg/m l ) and sunlight. The results demonstrate that strains sensitive to near-UV inactivation are also sensitive to inactivation by visible light in the presence of AO and sunlight irrespective of the recA allele carried by the strain. These results may be interpreted to mean that major mechanisms of inactivation of stationary E. coli cells by near-UV, visible light in the presence of AO and sunlight are similar and not closely related to the mechanism of inactivation by far-UV. 相似文献

LIPID PEROXIDATION AND OTHER MEMBRANE DAMAGE PRODUCED IN Escherichia coli K1060 BY NEAR-UV RADIATION AND DEUTERIUM OXIDE 总被引:1,自引:0,他引:1
Abstract— With accumulating evidence that the membrane is an important site for near-UV inactivating events, we have investigated the effects of near-UV radiation on the unsaturated fatty acid auxotroph E. coli K1060 following incorporation into the membrane phospholipids of fatty acids with varying degrees of unsaturation. Sensitivity, lipid peroxidation and membrane damage, as determined by 86 Rb+ leakage, have been found to increase with increasing unsaturation in log-phase cells. Similar experiments carried out in D2 O also show an increase in sensitivity, lipid peroxidation and membrane damage, indicating that singlet oxygen may be responsible for such near-UV-radiation-induced damage 相似文献

IN SITU HYDROGEN PEROXIDE PRODUCTION MAY ACCOUNT FOR A PORTION OF NUV (300–400 nm) INACTIVATION OF STATIONARY PHASE Escherichia coli 总被引:3,自引:0,他引:3
Abstract— Pre-irradiation of stationary phase cells of Escherichia coli K-12 with broadband near-UV radiation potentiates the lethal effects of subsequent exposure to near-UV radiation plus hydrogen peroxide. Identical fluences failed to modulate killing due to far-UV radiation. These data indicate that biologically revelant levels of hydrogen peroxide may be generated in situ upon the near-UV irradiation of cells. 相似文献

Irradiation of aerobic suspensions of Arthrobacter sp. with near-UV light (310-400 nm) induced synthesis of a 21 000 dalton, cell-surface polypeptide. Synthesis of this polypeptide also was induced by visible light in the presence of photodynamic dyes, as shown previously (Hoober, 1978). Induction of the polypeptide in near-UV light and with visible light plus dyes was inhibited by histidine. Hemin inhibited induction in near-UV light and in visible light with methylene blue, neutral red and acrifiavin, which are cationic dyes, but failed to inhibit induction in visible light with rose bengal, an anionic dye. These results suggested that inhibition by hemin required electrostatically favored interaction between the anionic porphyrin and the sensitizer, and that the near-UV light effect was mediated by a cationic or neutral endogenous sensitizer. The similarities in the responses of the cells to near-UV irradiation and visible light plus dyes suggested that the mechanism of induction under the two conditions was the same. 相似文献

We report the sublethal effects of ultraviolet A (UVA) on Enterobacter cloacae in comparison with those produced in Escherichia coli. UVA-induced sublethal effects were investigated in either bacterial membrane and at tRNA level. Limited dependence on oxygen concentration for photoinduced inhibition of biochemical membrane functions and low levels of oxidative damage during the irradiation period were found in En. cloacae. On the other hand, ultraviolet spectroscopy and reversed-phase HPLC analysis of hydrolysed tRNA showed that radio induced damage to tRNA is similar in En. cloacae and E. coli. Nevertheless, growth delay induced by UVA in En. cloacae was shorter than that found in E. coli submitted to the same experimental conditions. A limited post-irradiation ppGpp accumulation and the absence of any influence of the membrane damage on the growth delay extent seem to be responsible for the shortness of this effect in En. cloacae. Most of the differences between En. cloacae and E. coli could be attributed to an increased ability of En. cloacae to overcome oxidative stress during UVA exposure. 相似文献

Abstract—At an cquimolar concentration of 50 μM the bifunctional furocoumarin, 8-methoxypsoralen (8-MOP), is about 36 times more efficient in inhibiting the colony forming ability of CV-I monkey kidney cells than the monofunctional furocoumarin angelicin. In contrast 8-MOP is only 7.5 times more efficient than angelicin for the inhibition of herpes simplex virus (HSV) production in CV-1 cells. This latter factor seems to reflect differences in photoreactivity of the two compounds with host cell DNA.
A substantial recovery of HSV production was seen when cells were infected at different time intervals after treatment with angelicin-plus-light, whereas recovery was very limited after 8-MOP plus light treatment. The recovery process was slow as compared to that observed after UV (254 nm)-irradiation.
The repair capacities of treated normal and xeroderma pigmentosum (group A) skin fibroblasts were estimated by measuring HSV production and unscheduled DNA synthesis. XP-A cells repaired angelicin induced damage less efficiently than did normal cells. Neither cell type showed any repair activity after 8-MOP plus light treatment. 相似文献

Escherichia coli cells lose viability when irradiated with visible light in the presence of acridine dyes. There has been some controversy about whether such photodynamic damage can be repaired. Several investigations on different E. coli strains failed to reveal any significant difference in the sensitivity to photodynamic damage between radiation-resistant E. coli B/r and radiation-sensitive E. coli Bs-1 strains (Uretz, 1964; Janovska et al. , 1970) suggesting the absence of repair. On the contrary, other investigators (Rupp, 1966; Harm, 1968) strongly predicted the existence of a dark-repair mechanism for such damage. No systematic study of liquid-holding recovery of photodynamic damage has yet been reported and knowledge of repair capacity for photodynamic damage is still incomplete. In the present communication, liquid-holding-repair capability of E. coli B/r and Bs-1 for photodynamic inactivation in the presence of acridine orange or acriflavine has been investigated. These studies show that B/r can repair photodynamic damage while Bs-1 is deficient in this ability. 相似文献

Abstract. Both S- and G2 -phase cells of amoeba are found to be sensitized by coirradiation of cells with Tryptophan (Trp). At a fluence of 1.5 times 105 Jm-2 to which G2 phase cells are resistant, they show a drastic (8-fold) increase in sensitivity when irradiated in 0.5% Trp solution. Freshly irradiated Trp solution is found to be lethal to G2 cells that have received a sublethal fluence of near-UV light. Irradiated Trp, however, does not kill unirradiated amoeba.
Nuclear transplantation experiments have shown that the lethality of cells when coirradiated with Trp is due to damage located predominantly in the cytoplasm. It is suggested that sublethal fluence of near-UV light makes the cells "leaky" to the toxic photooxidation products of Trp solution. 相似文献

Acridine dyes, fluorescein and lucifer yellow CH are fluorescent photosensitizers used experimentally to selectively stain and photodynamically destroy eukaryotic cells and subcellular structures. We have determined that the mechanism of light- and oxygen-dependent inactivation of E. coli by these dyes involves oxygen radicals and hydrogen peroxide. All of the dyes oxidized NAD(P)H+ under illumination. Superoxide (O2), detected as the superoxide dismutase (SOD)-inhibitable reduction of ferricytochrome c, was a major product of the dye sensitized photooxidation. Cationic acridine dyes penetrated the membranes of E. coli and were photoreduced intracellularly. Reduced dyes diffused back into the medium and mediated the reduction of extracellular ferricytochrome c. The anionic dyes fluorescein and lucifer yellow CH were unable to mediate extracellular cytochrome c reduction, indicating that these dyes were impermeable to the E. coli membrane. Acridine dyes, when illuminated, inhibited the growth of E. coli in a rich medium, and induced the synthesis of SOD. Fluorescein and lucifer yellow CH did not inhibit growth or induce SOD synthesis because they were unable to enter the cells. Superoxide (O2) and hydrogen peroxide (H2O2), generated by the enzyme xanthine oxidase were toxic to E. coli B. Inactivation by xanthine oxidase was partially inhibited by exogenous SOD and completely inhibited by exogenous catalase or SOD plus catalase. Similarly, exogenous SOD plus catalase protected against inactivation by acridines and fluorescein-NADH or lucifer yellow CH-NADH mixtures. Prior induction of superoxide dismutase and catalase in E. coli B significantly protected cells against a subsequent challenge by illuminated acridine dyes. SOD and catalases preinduction combined with additions of exogenous SOD and catalase completely protected E. coli B against photodynamic inactivation by acridine yellow. The hydroxyl radical scavengers, dimethyl sulfoxide, sodium benzoate and thiourea, protected E. coli B against photodynamic inactivation by acridine orange. The results implicate O2, H2O2, and the hydroxyl radical (OH) as underlying molecular agents of the phototoxicity mediated by acridine orange, acridine yellow, fluorescein and lucifer yellow CH. 相似文献

Abstract— Inactivation of Neurospora crassa conidia from wild-type and mutant strains by visible and near-UV light has been investigated in the presence and absence of photosensitizing dyes. Inactivation by near-UV is virtually unchanged by the presence of deuterium oxide or azide suggesting that, contrary to the situation with visible light and photosensitizing dyes, 1 O2 is not involved in any substantial way in the formation of lethal lesions. The finding that carotenoid deficient strains are similar to wild-type strains in sensitivity to near-UV inactivation is consistent with 1 O2 not being involved.
Photodynamic inactivation of conidia by visible light occurs in the presence of methylene blue (MB), toluidine blue O (TB), or acridine orange (AO). Carotenoid deficient strains are more sensitive to such inactivation only when MB and TB are used. These results support the contention that MB and TB mediated damage involves the cell membrane where carotenoids are available for quenching, whereas AO mediated damage occurs in the nucleus sequestered from the protective influence of carotenoids.
A newly isolated, lemon–yellow mutant, mapping to the al -1 locus, exhibits sensitivities to photodynamic inactivation similar to other pure-white mutants at the same locus. The sensitivity of this pigmented mutant is apparently related to insufficient unsaturation (seven to nine double bonds) of the two colored carotenoids, zeta–carotene and neurosporene, produced by the mutant. 相似文献

Abstract— The mutational interactions between near-ultraviolet (near-UV, 334 nm, 365 nm) radiation and DNA damaging agents (far-UV (254 nm) and ethyl-methanesulphonate (EMS)) were studied in strains of Escherichia coli B/r trp thy with different susceptibilities to near-UV-induced growth delay (wild-type, rel and srd ). Far-UV induced reversion to tryptophan independence is reduced while forward mutation to streptomycin is enhanced by prior exposure of the rel+ srd+ strains to near-UV radiation. The observed interactions are reduced ( rel ) or absent ( srd ) in the two mutant strains as are the corresponding growth and macromolecular synthesis delays normally observed after near-UV treatment. Quantitatively, the degree of interaction induced by near-UV pre-treatment correlates closely with the degree of protein synthesis inhibition. We propose a mechanism for the contrasting interactions at the two genetic loci based on the different pathways by which pre-mutagenic lesions may be processed. The primary chromophore for the mutational interactions would appear to be 4-thiouracil-containing transfer RNA. 相似文献

Abstract— Rates of leucíne transport, oxygen utilization, and glucose and succinate uptake were determined in cultures of Escherichia coli B/r before and after exposure to near-UV light. Within experimental errors, rates of uptake of glucose and of succinate were proportional to growth rate at all times during the recovery or growth delay period following near-UV exposure and the same proportionality was maintained in unexposed cultures. However, rates of leucine uptake and incorporation and of oxygen utilization were not related to growth rate in a simple fashion. The results suggest that inhibition of carbon source transport is a fundamental component, and may be a primary mechanism, in growth delay induced by near-UV radiation. 相似文献

Abstract— Ethylenediaminetetraacetate (EDTA) treatment of Escherichia coli H/r30 (Arg- ) enhanced cell sensitivity to the lethal and mutagenic effects of the photosensitizing action of chlorpromazine (CPZ). The most obvious effect of EDTA on the fluence-survival curve was an elimination of the shoulder. In the absence of EDTA, CPZ plus near-UV radiation did not induce the reversion from arginine-auxo-troph to autotroph of E. coli H/r30. However, when EDTA (5 mM)-treated cells were subjected to CPZ plus near-UV radiation, the induced reversion frequency increased with time of irradiation. It is concluded that the enhanced penetration of CPZ into E. coli cells by EDTA facilitates the drug binding to DNA within the cells upon near-UV irradiation and that this is the cause for the enhanced photosensitized lethal and mutagenic effects of CPZ. 相似文献

MUTAGENICITY OF MONOADDUCTS AND CROSS-LINKS INDUCED IN ASPERGILLUS NIDULANS BY 8-METHOXYPSORALEN PLUS 365 NM RADIATION 总被引:1,自引:0,他引:1
Abstract— 8-Methoxypsoralen plus 365 nm radiation induces mutation at the methionine supressor loci of Aspergillus inhibitor-deficient conidia at low doses of near-UV radiation with one-hit kinetics and at higher near-UV radiation doses with two-hit kinetics. These results and others suggest that both monoadducts and cross-links, formed by 8-methoxypsoralen and DNA upon exposure to UV radiation, are capable of inducing mutation. Evidence is also presented that induced furocoumarin cross-links are responsible for the inactivation of the Aspergillus conidium. 相似文献
