Abstract:
:UDPgalactose inhibits the growth of mouse leukemic L1210 cells. In calf serum supplemented Dulbecco's medium (CS-DMEM), 1.2 mM UDPgalactose (UDPgal) inhibited cell growth by 50% (IC50), and 5 mM UDPgalactose inhibited cell growth by 92%. Other nucleotide sugars as well as galactose, glucose, and galactose-1-phosphate had little or no effect on cell growth. Uridine nucleotides, which inhibit galactosyltransferase activity, protected L1210 cells from the growth inhibitory effect of UDPgalactose when both were added simultaneously to culture media. Unlike mouse 3T12 cells, in which no inhibition of cell growth was observed with heat-inactivated calf serum (HICS)-DMEM, 5 mM UDPgalactose inhibited L1210 cell growth in HICS-DMEM to the same degree as that observed in CS-DMEM. In contrast to 3T12 cells, L1210 cells secrete significant galactosyltransferase activity into the media. Complete inhibition of 3T12 cell growth by UDPgal was observed if HICS-DMEM medium was first conditioned by L1210 cells for 48 hours. No difference in cell growth or [3H]thymidine uptake was detected after 6 hours of exposure to UDPgalactose, but both were significantly decreased at 24 and 48 hours. Flow cytometric analysis of UDPgalactose effects on L1210 cells revealed no differences in the distribution of cells in G1, S, or G2-M of the cell cycle after 6 hours of incubation, but after 16 hours of UDPgalactose treatment, L1210 cells were arrested in early S phase. These cells were completely viable and morphologically similar to control L1210 cells. Normal growth was resumed when UDPgal was removed. The data suggest that UDPgalactose inhibition of cell growth requires extracellular galactosyltransferase activity and that the effect is mediated via the cell membrane.
