The dynamic role of nucleoprotein SHCBP1 in the cancer cell cycle and its potential as a synergistic target for DNA-damaging agents in cancer therapy. Cell Commun Signal 2024; 22:131. [PMID: 38365687 PMCID: PMC10874017 DOI: 10.1186/s12964-024-01513-0] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 09/25/2023] [Accepted: 02/01/2024] [Indexed: 02/18/2024] Open
Abstract
BACKGROUND Malignant tumours seriously threaten human life and health, and effective treatments for cancer are still being explored. The ability of SHC SH2 domain-binding protein 1 (SHCBP1) to induce cell cycle disturbance and inhibit tumour growth has been increasingly studied, but its dynamic role in the tumour cell cycle and corresponding effects leading to mitotic catastrophe and DNA damage have rarely been studied. RESULTS In this paper, we found that the nucleoprotein SHCBP1 exhibits dynamic spatiotemporal expression during the tumour cell cycle, and SHCBP1 knockdown slowed cell cycle progression by inducing spindle disorder, as reflected by premature mitotic entry and multipolar spindle formation. This dysfunction was caused by G2/M checkpoint impairment mediated by downregulated WEE1 kinase and NEK7 (a member of the mammalian NIMA-related kinase family) expression and upregulated centromere/kinetochore protein Zeste White 10 (ZW10) expression. Moreover, both in vivo and in vitro experiments confirmed the significant inhibitory effects of SHCBP1 knockdown on tumour growth. Based on these findings, SHCBP1 knockdown in combination with low-dose DNA-damaging agents had synergistic tumouricidal effects on tumour cells. In response to this treatment, tumour cells were forced into the mitotic phase with considerable unrepaired DNA lesions, inducing mitotic catastrophe. These synergistic effects were attributed not only to the abrogation of the G2/M checkpoint and disrupted spindle function but also to the impairment of the DNA damage repair system, as demonstrated by mass spectrometry-based proteomic and western blotting analyses. Consistently, patients with low SHCBP1 expression in tumour tissue were more sensitive to radiotherapy. However, SHCBP1 knockdown combined with tubulin-toxic drugs weakened the killing effect of the drugs on tumour cells, which may guide the choice of chemotherapeutic agents in clinical practice. CONCLUSION In summary, we elucidated the role of the nucleoprotein SHCBP1 in tumour cell cycle progression and described a novel mechanism by which SHCBP1 regulates tumour progression and through which targeting SHCBP1 increases sensitivity to DNA-damaging agent therapy, indicating its potential as a cancer treatment.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Poultry production is vulnerable to increasing temperatures in terms of animal welfare and in economic losses. With the predicted increase in global temperature and the number and severity of heat waves, it is important to understand how chickens raised for food respond to heat stress. This knowledge can be used to determine how to select chickens that are adapted to thermal challenge. As neuroendocrine organs, the hypothalamus and pituitary provide systemic regulation of the heat stress response. METHODS AND RESULTS Here we report a transcriptome analysis of the pituitary response to acute heat stress. Chickens were stressed for 2 h at 35 °C (HS) and transcriptomes compared with birds maintained in thermoneutral temperatures (25 °C). CONCLUSIONS The observations were evaluated in the context of ontology terms and pathways to describe the pituitary response to heat stress. The pituitaries of heat stressed birds exhibited responses to hyperthermia through altered expression of genes coding for chaperones, cell cycle regulators, cholesterol synthesis, transcription factors, along with the secreted peptide hormones, prolactin, and proopiomelanocortin.

Abstract
To improve culture efficiency of Hanwoo myosatellite cells, these cells were cultured at different temperatures. Hanwoo myosatellite cells were compared with C2C12 cells to observe proliferation and differentiation at culture temperatures of 37°C and 39°C and determine the possibility of using them as cultured meat. Immunofluorescence staining using Pax7 and Hoechst, both cells cultured at 37°C proliferated better than cultured at 39°C (p < 0.05). When differentiated cells were stained with myosin and Hoechst, there was no significant difference in myotube thickness and Fusion index (p > 0.05). In Western blotting analysis, Hanwoo myosatellite cells were no significant difference in the expression of myosin between cells differentiated at the two temperatures (p > 0.05). C2C12 cells were no significant difference in the expression of myosin between cells differentiated at the two temperatures (p > 0.05). In reverse transcription and quantitative polymerase chain reaction (RT-qPCR) analysis, Hanwoo myosatellite cells cultured at 39°C had significantly (p < 0.05) higher expression levels of MyHC, MYF6, and MB than those cultured at 37°C. C2C12 cells cultured at 39°C showed significantly (p < 0.05) higher expression levels of MYOG and MB than those cultured at 37°C. To increase culture efficiency of Hanwoo myosatellite cells, proliferating at 37°C and differentiating at 39°C are appropriate. Since results of temperature differences of Hanwoo myosatellite cells were similar to those of C2C12 cells, they could be used as a reference for producing cultured meat using Hanwoo satellite cells.

PLoS One 2021; 16:e0244836. [PMID: 34048433 PMCID: PMC8162631 DOI: 10.1371/journal.pone.0244836] [Citation(s) in RCA: 5] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.7] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [MESH Headings] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 12/16/2020] [Accepted: 05/12/2021] [Indexed: 12/05/2022] Open
Abstract
Introduction Climate change affects livestock production and productivity, which could threaten livestock-based food security in pastoral and agro-pastoral production systems of the tropics and sub-tropics. Boran cattle breed is one of the hardiest Zebu cattle reared by Borana Oromo pastoralists for milk and meat production. However, there is limited comprensive information on production, reproduction and adaption traits of the Boran cattle in Ethiopia. Thus, this paper aims to compile the main production, reproduction and some adaptation traits of Boran cattle based on systematic review and meta-analysis of peer reviewed published and unpublished literature. Methodology A combination of systematic review and meta-analysis based on PRISMA guideline was employed. Accordingly, out of 646 recorded articles identified through database searching, 64 were found to be eligible for production, reproduction and adaptation characteristics of the Boran cattle, 28 articles were included in qualitative systematic review while 36 articles were used for quantitative meta-analysis. Result The Boran cattle breed has the ability to survive, produce and reproduce under high ambient temperature, utilize low quality forage resources, and resist water shortage or long watering intervals and tick infestations. The review revealed that the breed employs various adaptation responses (morphological, physiological, biochemical, metabolic, cellular and molecular responses) to cope with harsh environmental conditions including climate change, rangeland degradation, seasonal feed and water shortages and high incidences of tick infestations. The meta-analysis using a random-effects model allowed provision of pooled estimates of heritability and genetic correlations for reproduction and production traits, which could be used to solve genetic prediction equations under a population level in purebred Boran cattle. In addition, heritability and genetic-correlation estimates found in the present study suggest that there is high genetic variability for most traits in Boran cattle, and that genetic progress is possible for all studied traits in this breed. Conclusion The Boran cattle breed has the ability to survive, produce and reproduce under high ambient temperature, utilize low quality forage resources, and resist water shortage or long watering intervals and tick infestations. However, currently there are several challenges such as recurrent droughts, pasture deterioration and lack of systematic selection and breeding programs that play to undermine the realization of the potential of the breed. Thus, we recommend systematic selection for enhancing the reproductive and production performances without compromising the adaptation traits of the breed coupled with improved management of rangelands.

Abstract
Global warming has been affecting animal husbandry and farming production worldwide via changes in organisms and their habitats. In the tropics, these conditions are adverse for agriculture and animal production in some areas, due to high temperatures and relative humidity, affecting competitiveness related to economic activities. These environments have deteriorated livestock production, due to periods of drought, reduction in forage quality and heat stress, eliciting negative effects on reproduction, weight gain, and reduced meat and milk production. However, the use of animals adapted to tropics such as breeds derived from subspecies Bos primigenius indicus and native breeds from tropical countries or their crossings, is an alternative to improve production under high-temperature conditions. Therefore, physiological adaptation including gene expression induced by heat stress have been studied to understand the response of animals and to improve cross-breeding between cattle breeds to maintain high productivity in adverse weather conditions. Heat stress has been associated with lower reproductive performance in cows, due to the impact on blastocyst production, decreased implantation and increased embryonic death. Thus, for decades, in vitro fertilization and embryo transfer techniques have focused on studying the optimal conditions for production of high-quality embryos to transfer. The aim of this review is to discuss the effects of heat stress in bovine embryos, and their physiological and genetic modulation, focusing on the genes that are related with major adaptability to heat stress conditions and their relationship with different embryonic stages.

Abstract
In the context of global change, symbiotic cnidarians are largely affected by seawater temperature elevation leading to symbiosis breakdown. This process, also called bleaching, is triggered by the dysfunction of the symbiont photosystems causing an oxidative stress and cell death to both symbiont and host cells. In our study, we wanted to elucidate the intrinsic capacity of isolated animal cells to deal with thermal stress in the absence of symbiont. In that aim, we have characterized an animal primary cell culture form regenerating tentacles of the temperate sea anemone Anemonia viridis. We first compared the potential of whole tissue tentacle or separated epidermal or gastrodermal monolayers as tissue sources to settle animal cell cultures. Interestingly, only isolated cells extracted from whole tentacles allowed establishing a viable and proliferative primary cell culture throughout 31 days. The analysis of the expression of tissue-specific and pluripotency markers defined cultivated cells as differentiated cells with gastrodermal origin. The characterization of the animal primary cell culture allowed us to submit the obtained gastrodermal cells to hyperthermal stress (+ 5 and + 8 °C) during 1 and 7 days. Though cell viability was not affected at both hyperthermal stress conditions, cell growth drastically decreased. In addition, only a + 8 °C hyperthermia induced a transient increase of antioxidant defences at 1 day but no ubiquitin or carbonylation protein damages. These results demonstrated an intrinsic resistance of cnidarian gastrodermal cells to hyperthermal stress and then confirmed the role of symbionts in the hyperthermia sensitivity leading to bleaching.

Abstract
Elevated ambient temperatures affect animal production and welfare. Animal's reduced production performances during heat stress were traditionally thought to result from the decreased feed intake. However, it has recently been shown that heat stress disturbs the steady state concentrations of free radicals, resulting in both cellular and mitochondrial oxidative damage. Indeed, heat stress reorganizes the use of the body resources including fat, protein and energy. Heat stress reduces the metabolic rates and alters post-absorptive metabolism, regardless of the decreased feed intake. Consequently, growth, production, reproduction and health are not priorities any more in the metabolism of heat-stressed animals. The drastic effects of heat stress depend on its duration and severity. This review clearly describes about biochemical, cellular and metabolic changes that occur during thermal stress in farm animals.

Abstract
PURPOSE While hyperthermia is an effective adjuvant treatment to radiotherapy, we do not completely understand the nature of the response heterogeneity. EXPERIMENTAL DESIGN We performed gene expression analysis of 22 spontaneous canine sarcomas before and after the first hyperthermia treatment administered as an adjuvant to radiotherapy. In parallel, diffusion-weighted MRI (DWI) was done prior to the treatment course and at the end of therapy. RESULTS From the integrative analysis of gene expression and DWI, we identified significant correlation between tumor responses with genes involved in VEGF signaling, telomerase, DNA repair, and inflammation. The treatment-induced changes in gene expression identified 2 distinct tumor subtypes with significant differences in their gene expression and treatment response, as defined by changes in DWI. The 2 tumor subtypes could also be readily identified by pretreatment gene expression. The tumor subtypes, with stronger expression response and DWI increase, had higher levels of HSP70, POT1, and centrosomal proteins, and lower levels of CD31, vWF, and transferrin. Such differential gene expression between the 2 subtypes was used to interrogate connectivity map and identify linkages to an HSP90 inhibitor, geldanamycin. We further validated the ability of geldanamycin to enhance cell killing of human tumor cells with hyperthermia and radiotherapy in clonogenic assays. CONCLUSIONS To our knowledge, this is one of the first successful attempts to link changes in gene expression and functional imaging to understand the response heterogeneity and identify compounds enhancing thermoradiotherapy. This study also demonstrates the value of canine tumors to provide information generalizable to human tumors.

Abstract
Conceptual approaches of heat-induced cytotoxic effects against tumor cells must address factors affecting therapeutic index, i.e., the relative toxicity for neoplastic versus normal tissues. Accordingly, we investigated the effect of hyperthermia treatment (HT) on the induction of DNA fragmentation, apoptosis, cell-cycle distribution, NFkappaB mRNA expression, DNA-binding activity, and phosphorylation of IkappaBalpha in the normal human Mono Mac 6 (MM6) cells. For HT, cells were exposed to 43 degrees C. FACS analysis showed a 48.5% increase in apoptosis, increased S-phase fraction, and reduced G2 phase fraction after 43 degrees C treatments. EMSA analysis showed a dose-dependent inhibition of NFkappaB DNA-binding activity after HT. This HT-mediated inhibition of NFkappaB was persistent even after 48 h. Immunoblotting analysis revealed dose-dependent inhibition of IkappaBalpha phosphorylation. Similarly, RPA analysis showed that HT persistently inhibits NFkappaB mRNA. These results demonstrate that apoptosis upon HT exposure of MM6 cells is regulated by IkappaBalpha phosphorylation mediated suppression of NFkappaB.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES Both heat shock (HS) and ionizing radiation have an impact on the cell cycle and may induce cell cycle arrest or apoptosis. Mutations of the p53 gene are observed at a high frequency in human tumours and are recognized in about half of all human cancers. Sensitivity to radiation, heat and anticancer agents has been observed in p53(+/+) cells, but not in mutated or p53-deficient cells. Moreover, enhancement of radiosensitivity by HS has been observed in wild-type p53 cells but not in p53-deficient cells. The molecular mechanism of the differential cell response to HS or ionizing radiation is not yet understood. MATERIALS AND METHODS Differences in cellular response to radiation (200 kV X-ray, 1, 2, 5 Gy) and HS (39 degrees C, 41 degrees C and 43 degrees C for 30 min) on cell cycle progression of cultures of human p53 mutant cells were investigated by flow cytometry. In addition, the effects of stressors used on the expression of several heat shock genes (HSP27, HSP60, HSP70, HSC70, HSP75, HSP78, HSP90) were studied by reverse transcriptase-polymerase chain reaction. RESULTS AND CONCLUSIONS Yet, with respect to HSP gene expression, different stressors produced similar effects. Combination of HS and radiation treatment significantly induced the transcription of the HSP70 gene above the level induced by each stressor alone. Cell cycle analysis, however, revealed striking differences in prolonged dynamics of cell division in response to each stressor. Thus, p53 status could be a useful indicator in predictive assays for hyperthermia cancer treatment in combination with radiation and/or chemotherapy.

Abstract
Stress-induced effects in human acute leukaemia cells (HL-60) were studied by flow cytometry using the fluorescent dye carboxyfluorescein succinimidyl ester which allows the analysis of several successive cell generations for up to 10 days. Asynchronously cycling cells subjected to heat shock (30 min at 41 degrees C) responded in two distinct ways: while one fraction of the cell population (about 15%) re-entered the cell cycle after a short delay, other cells became arrested at different phases of the cell cycle and remained arrested for up to several days and finally underwent apoptosis. Weak electromagnetic fields (60 micro T, 50 Hz) alleviated the heat-induced block and the fraction of arrested cells was significantly smaller.

Abstract
The effects of exposure to radiofrequency electromagnetic fields (RF EMFs) on cell cycle progression of mouse fibroblasts C3H 10T(1/2) and human glioma U87MG cells were determined by the flow cytometric bromodeoxyuridine pulse-chase method. Cells were exposed to a frequency-modulated continuous wave at 835.62 MHz or a code division multiple access RF EMF centered on 847.74 MHz at an average specific absorption rate of 0.6 W/kg. Five cell cycle parameters, including the transit of cells through G(1), G(2) and S phase and the probability of cell division, were examined immediately after the cells were placed in the fields or after they had been kept in the fields for up to 100 h. The only significant change observed in the study was that associated with C3H 10T(1/2) cell cultures moving into plateau phase toward the later times in the long-exposure experiment. No changes in the cell cycle parameters were observed in cells exposed to either mode of RF EMFs when compared to sham-exposed cells in either of the cell lines studied during the entire experimental period. The results show that exposure to RF EMFs, at the frequencies and power tested, does not have any effect on cell progression in vitro.

Abstract
Similar to what has been observed after irradiation, the fraction of G(2)-phase cells increases as a consequence of heat treatment. On the basis of cell cycle distributions alone, however, it is difficult to say whether the two results are related. In particular, comparison is complicated by the fact that the accompanying changes in the S-phase transition are different. These changes play a minor role after irradiation but constitute by far the most important cell cycle effect after heat treatment. Two-parameter flow cytometry was used here to study the proliferation of human melanoma cells in vitro. Cultures were pulse-labeled with BrdU after irradiation and/or heat treatment and were fixed either immediately or after a delay of up to 36 h. DNA-synthesizing cells were identified with the help of an FITC-conjugated antibody against BrdU; DNA was quantified after staining with propidium iodide. In this way, the cell cycle distribution could be determined and the progression through the cell cycle could be analyzed. From the movement of labeled cells through the cycle, in particular the appearance of labeled cells in the G(1) compartment (after they had gone through mitosis), the delay in G(2) phase could be determined. The duration of the G(2)/M phase in control cells was about 6 h. This was increased to 12, 13 and 16 h after irradiation (4 Gy X rays), heat treatment (1 h at 43 degrees C), and a combination of the two, respectively. In all these cases, the G(2)-phase block was completely overcome within 48 h after treatment, whereas changes in the S phase were still observable at this time. As expected, the radiation-induced G(2)-phase block was almost completely removed by incubating the cells with 5 or 10 mM caffeine. In the case of hyperthermia alone or in combination with radiation, however, caffeine was somewhat less effective. This does not mean, however, that the mechanisms involved are necessarily different. It can also be seen as a result of the differences in the time course of events. The long delay in S phase after heat treatment may lead to a loss of susceptibility to caffeine by the time the cells move into the G(2) phase.

Abstract
The response kinetics of rat C6 glioma cells to heat shock was investigated by means of flow cytometric DNA measurements and western blot analysis of HSP levels. The results showed that the effects on cell cycle progression are dependent on the cell cycle phase at which heat shock is applied, leading to either G1 or G2/M arrest in randomly proliferating cells. When synchronous cultures were stressed during G0 they were arrested with G1 DNA content and showed prolongation of S and G2 phases after release from the block. In proliferating cells, HSC70 and HSP68 were induced during the recovery and reached maximum levels just before cells were released from the cell cycle blocks. Hyperthermic pretreatment induced thermotolerance both in asynchronous and synchronous cultures as evidenced by the reduced arrest of cell cycle progression after the second heat shock. Thermotolerance development was independent of the cell cycle phase. Pre-treated cells already had high HSP levels and did not further increase the amount of HSP after the second treatment. However, as in unprimed cells, HSP reduction coincided with the release from the cell cycle blocks. These results imply that the cell cycle machinery can be rendered thermotolerant by heat shock pretreatment and supports the assumption that HSP70 family members might be involved in thermotolerance development.

Abstract
PURPOSE Quiescent S-phase cells, i.e. cells with a DNA content intermediate between G1 and G2 that nevertheless do not synthesize DNA have been previously observed in human melanoma cells exposed to radiation and/or hyperthermia. This phenomenon has now been studied in more detail comparing six human tumour cell lines of different p53 status and thus different cell-cycle checkpoint control. MATERIALS AND METHODS Two melanoma (Be11, MeWo), two squamous carcinoma (4197, 4451) and two glioma (EA14, U87) cell lines were used. Changes in the cell-cycle distribution after treatment were studied using two-parameter flow cytometry in order to measure DNA content and BrdU incorporation simultaneously. RESULTS The fraction of unlabelled cells in the S-phase compartment was determined at daily intervals after treatment. Only background levels of such cells were seen in three of the cell lines (Be11, 4197, EA14). With the other three cell lines (MeWo, 4451, U87) we observed a time- and dose-dependent increase: a few days after treatment up to 20% of all cells did not incorporate BrdU. It is interesting to note that Bell, 4197 and EA14 are p53 wild-types and show a G1 block of several hours after irradiation and/or hyperthermia, while MeWo and 4451 are p53 mutants unable to exhibit such a delay, and U87 in spite of being a p53 wild-type has a reduced ability to do so. CONCLUSIONS The MeWo, 4451 and U87 cell lines have less time available for the repair of DNA damage before entering into the S-phase, which leads to problems during replication and causes some kind of interphase death. Radiation-induced apoptosis does not seem to be involved here, as it is not unequivocally correlated with the induction of a G1 block or with p53 status.

Abstract
Apoptosis and cell cycle progression in HL60 cells irradiated in an acidic environment were investigated. Apoptosis was determined by TUNEL staining, PARP cleavage, DNA fragmentation, and flow cytometry. The majority of the apoptosis that occurred in HL60 cells after 4 Gy irradiation took place after G(2)/M-phase arrest. When irradiated with 12 Gy, a fraction of the cells underwent apoptosis in G(1) and S phases while the rest of the cells underwent apoptosis in G(2)/M phase. The apoptosis caused by 4 and 12 Gy irradiation was transiently suppressed in medium at pH 7.1 or lower. An acidic environment was found to perturb progression of irradiated cells through the cell cycle, including progression through G(2)/ M phase. Thus it was concluded that the suppression of apoptosis in the cells after 4-12 Gy irradiation in acidic medium was due at least in part to a delay in cell cycle progression, particularly the prolongation of G(2)/M-phase arrest. Irradiation with 20 Gy indiscriminately caused apoptosis in all cell cycle phases, i.e. G(1), S and G(2)/M phases, rapidly in neutral pH medium and relatively slowly in acidic pH medium. The delay in apoptosis in acidic medium after 20 Gy irradiation appeared to result from mechanisms other than prolonged G(2)/ M-phase arrest.

Abstract
The effect of the cyclin-dependent (CDK) inhibitors olomoucine and roscovitine on cell kinetics was studied. To this end, nonsmall cell lung cancer (NSCLC) cell line MR65 and neuroblastoma cell line CHP-212 were pulse labeled with bromodeoxyuridine (BrdUrd) and chased in culture medium, to which various concentrations of olomoucine or roscovitine were added. A dose-dependent inhibition of the G1/S-phase and G2/ M-/G1 transitions was observed. Furthermore, S-phase progression was also inhibited in a dose-dependent manner. Similarly, roscovitine, another CDK inhibitor with a 10-fold higher efficiency for both CDK1 and CDK2 as compared to olomoucine, showed the same effects at a 10-fold lower concentration. At the highest tested doses both olomoucine (200 microM) and roscovitine (40 microM) induced a complete cell cycle block in both cell lines, paralleled by the appearance of apoptotic figures. In these cultures a decrease in CDK1 protein level was found as shown by Western blotting. Bivariate CDK1/DNA analysis confirmed these observations and showed that a subpopulation of cells with characteristics of apoptosis became CDK1 negative. The presented data suggest that cyclins and CDKs are involved at an important nodal point shared by pathways regulating cellular proliferation and apoptosis.

Abstract
Some new alkylating agents which bind to the minor groove of DNA and have sequence-specific patterns of alkylation have shown anti-neoplastic activity in pre-clinical systems. Two of them, carzelesin and tallimustine, are now in phase II. Considering the severe dose-limiting bone marrow toxicity of both these drugs in clinical use, it was of interest to investigate the mechanism of their myelotoxicity in a detailed pre-clinical study and compare it with a conventional alkylating agent, such as melphalan. The origin and progression of the myelotoxicity of carzelesin, tallimustine and melphalan were investigated comparatively in mice, combining data on bone marrow and peripheral blood cellularity with data on the proliferative activity of bone marrow cells, obtained by in vivo administration of bromodeoxyuridine. Significant differences were found between the hematopoietic response to the 3 drugs, though all caused severe leukopenia. Carzelesin induced a short-term increase in myeloid proliferative activity, which prevented the high leukocytopenia on day 3 observed with the other drugs. However, when this effect was exhausted, a second nadir was seen in peripheral blood, with a new wave of cell proliferation of all lineages in the bone marrow. Reconstruction of the lymphoid lineage was slow for all 3 drugs but particularly difficult with high-dose tallimustine. In general, the hematopoietic system response to tallimustine was dampened, with no overshoots, suggesting either lasting effects or extensive cytotoxicity from the early to late precursors of all lineages.

Abstract
The human colon adenocarcinoma cell line, NSY42129, is capable of proliferation at 41.1 degrees C. This ability appears to be due to a type of chronic thermotolerance, as opposed to selection or adaptation, that allows these cells to traverse S phase at elevated temperatures. Four other human cell lines were studied for their ability to proliferate at 41.1 degrees C. Of those only one, also a colon adenocarcinoma, showed the ability to sustain proliferation at 41.1 degrees C. While all the cell lines examined showed increased levels of the major heat shock proteins at 41.1 degrees C, the cellular amounts of these proteins did not correlate with their ability to proliferate at 41.1 degrees C. However, the ability of the cells to proliferate at 41.1 degrees C did correlate with their ability to sustain elevated rates of synthesis of hsp70 and hsp90. These results could have implications in the clinical application of hyperthermia, particularly the use of long duration moderate hyperthermia.

Abstract
The human small cell lung cancer cell line NCI-H82 was used to study the effect of nutritional status on cell proliferative parameters. Incorporation of bromodeoxyuridine (BrdUrd) was used to characterize actively proliferating cells and to obtain information on cell cycle dynamics. During several days, in which the culture medium was not changed, a gradual decrease in overall cell growth, labeling index, and vitality was observed. Simultaneously, an increase in the number of S-phase cells that did not incorporate BrdUrd was noticed. From a more detailed kinetic study on d 6 of nutrient depletion, it appeared that, although the cells incorporated BrdUrd, they stopped cycling. When the same cells were regrown in fresh culture medium, a delay of 10 h in G1-phase entry and exit was measured. After this delay the cells resumed the cell cycle at normal phase transit rates. In addition, BrdUrd unlabeled S-phase cells were gradually lost from the culture. Bivariate flow cytometric DNA/proliferating cell nuclear antigen (PCNA) and DNA/Ki67-antigen analyses confirmed a delay in G1 phase entry and exit. In this paper we show that nutrient depletion can cause cell cycle arrest as indicated by the occurrence of BrdUrd unlabeled S-phase cells. This arrest could lead to overestimation of kinetic parameters such as S-phase transit time (Ts) and potential time (Tpot) as determined after in vivo labeling of tumors.

Abstract
To test the hypothesis that the enhancement of cell killing by post-irradiation treatment with caffeine (CAF) is mediated by alterations in chromatin structure, several nuclear parameters were examined in both caffeine-responsive and non-responsive cell lines. Cell killing, as determined by clonogenic assay, was not enhanced by post-irradiation treatment with 5 mM caffeine in a human diploid fibroblast line (AG1522) but an effect was seen in a SV40 T-antigen transformed derivative (1522-a). CAF caused a complete reversal of the radiation-induced G2 + S phase cell-cycle delays in the transformed cell line but only a partial reversal was noted for the parental cell line. The nuclear endpoints examined, which may be indicative of chromatin conformational changes, included enzymatic accessibility, DNA loop structure, and nuclear protein composition. In assays of the ability of DNA to undergo supercoiling changes, it was found that nucleoids isolated from CAF-treated cells had a significantly reduced propidium-iodide relaxable DNA loop size. The constraints to DNA unwinding produced by CAF were also maintained even in the presence of large numbers of single strand breaks produced by a test dose of radiation (10 Gy). This effect did not correlate well with the ability of CAF to enhance radiation-induced cell killing. The two other nuclear endpoints did detect differences between the normal and transformed cell lines. CAF had no effect on the DNase I digestion kinetics of the normal fibroblasts. However, in the transformed cell line, CAF appeared to render an additional 10-15% of the genome accessible to DNase I digestion. Several radiation and CAF-induced changes in the polypeptide pattern of isolated nucleoids were detected after metabolic labelling with 35S-methionine or 32P-orthophosphoric acid. While the identities of these proteins remain to be established, many had relative molecular weights similar to the other reported radiation-altered proteins and human cell cycle control gene products. The present cell lines should provide a convenient system in which to identify a nuclear protein change specifically associated with the ability of CAF to enhance radiation-induced cell killing.
