Induced synthesis of immunoglobulin messenger RNA accompanies induction of immunoglobulin production in cultured mouse spleen cells

Immunoglobulin κ type light chain mRNA (Lκ mRNA) accumulated in parallel with secretion of immunoglobulin M in cultured mouse spleen cells activated by lipopolysaccharide. Actinomycin D suppressed the accumulation of κ chain mRNA completely without affecting the degradation rate of κ chain mRNA. The...

Zusammenfassung:Immunoglobulin κ type light chain mRNA (Lκ mRNA) accumulated in parallel with secretion of immunoglobulin M in cultured mouse spleen cells activated by lipopolysaccharide. Actinomycin D suppressed the accumulation of κ chain mRNA completely without affecting the degradation rate of κ chain mRNA. The half life of κ chain mRNA was about 9 h. Available evidence indicates that lipopolysaccharide stimulates de novo synthesis of κ chain mRNA. The accumulation of a chain mRNA was markedly suppressed by inhibitors of DNA or protein synthesis such as hydroxyurea, cytosine arabinoside and cycloheximide.
