Contrasting effects of RNA and protein synthesis blocking on natural and lectin-dependent cell-mediated cytotoxicity against adherent HEp-2 cells

A Perl et al. Experientia. .

Abstract

In this study, earlier observations concerning the independence of both natural (NCMC) and lectin-dependent cell-mediated cytotoxicity (LDCC) from DNA synthesis have been confirmed. In addition, blocking of RNA synthesis by actinomycin D and of protein synthesis, reversibly by puromycin (PM) and irreversibly by emetine (EM) had different effects on NCMC and LDCC against 3H-thymidine-prelabeled HEp-2 target cells. Similarly to the Con A-induced proliferation of lymphocytes, LDCC activity was also inhibited by blocking of RNA and protein synthesis. NCMC to HEp-2 target cells was not affected by blocking of RNA synthesis, while both PM and EM strongly enhanced NCMC activity.
