Effect of retinoids on the proliferation, morphology and expression of glial fibrillary acidic protein of an anaplastic astrocytoma cell line.

Abstract：

:We studied the effect of retinoids on the growth and differentiation of a cell line (U 343 MG-A) derived from a human malignant astrocytoma. Cultures treated with all-trans or 13-cis retinoic acid showed a dose-dependent inhibition of proliferation and a marked reduction in the mean cell number at the plateau phase of growth (3.5 x 10(6) vs. 1 x 10(7) cells/25 cm2) compared with untreated cultures. At confluence, cells treated with all-trans or 13-cis retinoic acid were contact-inhibited, whereas control cultures showed crowding, piling, and overgrowth. All-trans retinol or retinyl acetate did not inhibit growth. Astrocytoma cultures treated with all-trans retinoic acid (10(-6) M) for 5 days were modestly growth-inhibited but by day 16 had the same numbers of cells as controls; cultures that received all-trans retinoic acid for 9 days were markedly growth-inhibited for 7 days after the drug was removed. All-trans and 13-cis retinoic acid (10(-6) M) prevented the EDTA-induced cell detachment seen in control cultures. Strongly adherent all-trans retinoic-acid-treated astrocytoma cells grew at a slower rate than did readily detached all-trans retinoic-acid-treated or control cells. Cell spreading, an increased cytoplasmic:nuclear ratio, and greater numbers of broadly bipolar cells, some bearing thin cytoplasmic processes, were seen in cultures treated with 10(-6) M all-trans or 13-cis retinoic acid. Small tightly packed cuboidal cells and large broadly bipolar cells were seen in astrocytoma cultures from which all-trans retinoic acid was removed on days 5 and 9. Indirect immunofluorescence revealed more intense staining with antiserum to glial fibrillary acidic protein in cultures treated with 10(-6) M all-trans retinoic acid than in control cultures; electron-microscope examination of similarly treated cultures revealed more abundant 8-10 nm intermediate filaments than in control cultures. An enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay showed that all-trans or 13-cis retinoic acid caused a dose-dependent increase in the quantity of glial fibrillary acidic protein in the astrocytoma cells.
