[Different effect of the ''recombinant'' bradykinin on the contractile activity of cultured atrial and ventricular cardiomyocytes].

The physiological activity of the "recombinant" bradykinin expressed by retrovirus recombinant pPS-3-neo (brd) was tested on cultural atrial (aCMC) and ventricular (vCMC) cardiomyocytes in newborn rats. The "recombinant" bradykinin was shown to have a chronotropic effect on aCMC and an inotropic effect on vCMC. The effects are in line with the action of the synthetic bradykinin preparation at a concentration of around 10(-15) M. A pretreatment of CMC by parmidine, i.e. a bradykinin antagonist, blocked the effect of bradykinin. The contractive CMC activity in the cultural cell medium, transferred by pPS-3-neo without the bradykinin gene, was not different from the control value.

[Construction by using retrovirus vector of recombinant with synthetic bradykinin "gene" for investigations of human gene expression in mammalian cells].

The synthetic gene of bradykinin was built into the retrovirus vector pPS-3-neo under the guidance of LTR promotor, followed by pPS-3-neo (brd) vector transfection of strain 293 cells. The physiological activity of the expressed bradykinin was tested on cultured neonatal rat cardiomyocytes. The culture medium of strain 293 cells transferred by pPS-3-neo (brd) produces a positive chronotropic effect that is directly related to the time parameters of preparation of recombinant bradykinin, which are comparable with the curve of chronotropic effect of synthetic bradykinin at concentrations of 10(-17) to 10(-16) M. The control of bradykinin "gene" expression was due to the lack of chronotropic responses of cardiomyocytes to the kinin receptor blocker parmidine and the transfection of strain 293 cells with the retrovirus vector without bradykinin "gene".

[Phosphorylation of 5'-O-phosphonylmethylthymidine and its incorporation into HeLa cells DNA].

[3H]5'-O-Phosphonylmethylthymidine with a specific activity of 71 Ci/mmol was obtained by isotope exchange. Its incubation with a HeLa cell culture resulted in the formation of [3H]-labeled 5'-O-(beta-phosphoryl-alpha-phosphonylmethyl)thymidine, 5'-O-(beta,gamma-diphosphoryl-alpha-phosphonylmethyl)thymidine, and [3H]DNA. This proved the ability of 5'-O-phosphonylmethylthymidine to undergo phosphorylation and incorporation into the DNA of human cells.

The control of DNA replication in hybrids between neutrophils and fibroblasts.

DNA synthesis regulation in heterokaryons between mouse neutrophils and cultured cells of various proliferative potentials has been studied. The following features have been found. Both immortalized and non-immortalized cells can reactivate DNA synthesis in neutrophil nuclei. The reactivation ability of cultured cells increases after immortalization and is not changed by further transformation. Neutrophils inhibit the entry of cultured cell nuclei into S phase and have no effect on ongoing DNA synthesis. Malignant cells are much less sensitive to the inhibitory action of neutrophils than non-malignant ones. Non-malignant immortalized cells are as sensitive to this effect as non-immortalized cells. Neutrophil karyoplasts do not influence DNA synthesis in partner cultured cell nuclei. Cycloheximide pretreatment of neutrophils drastically diminishes their inhibitory effect.

[Regions of the human genome containing homologs of the oncogenes and retrovirus genes. 3. The primary structure of the mos-related region CL-1 from the ORAgp5 locus].

The nucleotide sequence of 686 bp from the cloned human genome locus gp5 has been determined. Analysis of this sequence has revealed a statistically significant homology with both the viral and murine mos genes. The region of mos homology contains two adjacent homologous domains, whereas their counterparts in viral mos gene are separated by 471 bp. The position of mos homologous region in the close vicinity to LTR of endogenous human viral-like repeat is in accordance with the hypothesis of retroviral involvement in the process of mos gene amplification.
