    Notizen: Genes involved in chromosomal translocations, associated with the formation of fusion proteins in leukemia, are modular in nature and regulatory in function. It is likely that they are involved in the initiation and maintenance of normal hematopoiesis. A conceptual model is proposed by which disruption of these different genes leads to the development of acute leukemia. Central to this model is the functional interaction between the mammalian trithorax and polycomb group protein complexes. Many of the genes identified in leukemia-associated translocations are likely upstream regulators, co-participators or downstream targets of these complexes. In the natural state, these proteins interact with each other to form multimeric higher-order structures, which sequentially regulate the development of the normal hematopoietic state, either through HOX gene expression or other less defined pathways. The novel interaction domains acquired by the chimaeric fusion products subvert normal cellular control mechanisms, which result in both a failure of cell maturation and activation of anti-apoptotic pathways. The mechanisms by which these translocation products are able to affect these processes are thought to lie at the level of chromatin-mediated transcriptional activation and/or repression. The stimuli for proliferation and development of clinically overt disease may require subsequent mutations in more than one oncogene or tumor suppressor gene, or both. A more comprehensive catalogue of mutation events in malignant cells is therefore required to understand the key regulatory networks that serve to maintain multipotentiality and in particular the modifications which initiate and coordinate commitment in differentiating hematopoietic cells. We propose a model in which common pathways for leukemogenesis lie along the cell cycle control of chromatin structure in terms of transcriptional activation or repression. A clearer understanding of this cascade will provide opportunities for the design and construction of novel biological agents that are able to restore normal regulatory mechanisms. J. Cell. Biochem.

    Notizen: The substance P (SP) analogues [DArg1, DPhe5, DTrp7,9, Leu11] SP (AntD) and [Arg6, DTrp7,9, MePhe8] SP (6-11) (AntG) inhibit the action of many different neuropeptides including SP. These analogues might be useful in the treatment of small cell lung cancer but their mechanism of action is unclear. Here, we analyzed the effect of AntD and AntG on neuropeptide vs. guanosine 5′-3-O-(thio) triphosphate (GTPγS) stimulated inositol phosphate generation in permeabilized Swiss 3T3 cells. AntD inhibited vasopressin and bombesin stimulated inositol phosphate formation (IC50 of 0.75 μM and 2 μM, respectively). Similarly, AntG inhibited vasopressin-stimulated inositol phosphate generation with an IC50 of 1 μM. Strikingly, neither AntD up to 10 μM nor AntG up to 20 μM was able to inhibit GTPγS-stimulated inositol phosphate generation. Dose-response curves of neuropeptide-induced inositol phosphate generation were dramatically displaced to the right by either 10 μM AntD or 20 μM AntG. However, neither antagonist affected the dose response of GTPγS-stimulated inositol phosphate generation. Furthermore, 20 μM AntD had no effect on AIF-4-induced inositol phosphates in COS-1 cells transfected with Gαq. AntD inhibited [3H]vasopressin binding competitively in intact Swiss 3T3 cells and both AntD and AntG inhibited [3H]vasopressin binding in Swiss 3T3 and rat liver membranes. Scatchard analysis revealed that AntD inhibited vasopressin binding by reducing receptor affinity without affecting receptor number in both intact and membrane preparations of Swiss 3T3 cells. The results strongly suggest that SP analogues AntD and AntG block the action of the Ca2+ mobilizing neuropeptides at the receptor level, rather than inhibiting G protein-stimulated inositol phosphate production. © 1995 Wiley-Liss, Inc.
