The cytoskeleton was investigated as a potential target for the inhibition of cell division in Fellomyces fuzhouensis CBS 8243 related to Cryptococcus neoformans.
Vincristine, vinblastine, paclitaxel, methyl benzimidazole-2-yl carbamate (BCM), thiabendazole, cytochalasins A, B and D and latrunculin A were added to yeast extract peptone dextrose medium containing cells, investigated by phase contrast and fluorescence microscopy, counted in a Burker chamber and absorbance was measured.
Vincristine, vinblastine, paclitaxel, cytochalasins A, B and D transiently blocked proliferation. BCM disrupted microtubules and inhibited mitosis, but F-actin patches and cables persisted and neck-less conidia appeared without stalks. Latrunculin disrupted F-actin, cells became spherical, and stalks and necks degenerated; microtubules persisted, but mitosis, cytokinesis and conidiogenesis were blocked. The combined application of latrunculin and BCM disrupted F-actin and microtubules, and inhibited cells became spherical and did not divide.
Microtubules and F-actin are effective targets for permanent inhibition of nuclear and cell division and conidiogenesis by BCM and latrunculin A.
细胞骨架被作为与新型隐球菌相关的福州费洛蒙酵母CBS 8243中细胞分裂抑制的潜在靶点进行研究。
将长春新碱、长春碱、紫杉醇、甲基苯并咪唑-2-基氨基甲酸酯(BCM)、噻苯达唑、细胞松弛素A、B和D以及拉春库林A添加到含有细胞的酵母提取物蛋白胨葡萄糖培养基中,通过相差显微镜和荧光显微镜进行观察,在血细胞计数板中计数并测量吸光度。
长春新碱、长春碱、紫杉醇、细胞松弛素A、B和D可短暂阻断增殖。BCM破坏微管并抑制有丝分裂,但F-肌动蛋白斑块和束状结构持续存在,且出现无柄的无颈分生孢子。拉春库林破坏F-肌动蛋白,细胞变成球形,柄和颈部退化;微管持续存在,但有丝分裂、胞质分裂和分生孢子形成被阻断。拉春库林和BCM联合应用破坏F-肌动蛋白和微管,抑制细胞变成球形且不分裂。
微管和F-肌动蛋白是BCM和拉春库林A永久抑制核分裂、细胞分裂和分生孢子形成的有效靶点。
