Taxol protects the microtubules of concanavalin A-activated lymphocytes from disassembly by methylmercury, but DNA synthesis is still inhibited.

Abstract:

:We have shown previously that there is a good correlation between the degree of microtubule disassembly by methylmercury (MeHg) and the extent of inhibition of DNA replication in Concanavalin A (Con A)-stimulated mouse splenic lymphocytes. The purpose of this study was to determine if these two events are causally related and to examine the effects of MeHg-induced microtubule disassembly on earlier events of the stimulation process. We show that early steps constituting the activation pathway, such as the Con A-induced increase in Ca2+ influx and the expression of interleukin 2 receptor, are not inhibited by concentrations of MeHg that disassemble microtubules. RNA synthesis is not affected by short-term (3 h) treatment with MeHg, but longer treatment (24 h) inhibits RNA synthesis. In contrast, DNA synthesis is effectively inhibited by a 3-h treatment with MeHg. In lymphocytes treated with taxol, microtubules are not disassembled by MeHg; however, the inhibition of RNA and DNA synthesis persists. We conclude that the inhibition of nucleic acid synthesis by MeHg is not causally related to MeHg-induced microtubule disassembly.
