title: Accumulation of sulfoglycolipids in hyperosmosis-resistant clones derived from the renal epithelial cell line MDCK (Madin-Darby canine kidney cell).
abstract: 1. Two clones (osmR-A and osmR-B) resistant to hyperosmotic media of 700 and 800 mosmol/l, respectively, were selected from Madin-Darby canine kidney (MDCK) cells. 2. When cultured in isosmotic medium (300 mosmol/l), the concentration of galactosyl sulfatide and lactosyl sulfatide in these hyperosmosis-resistant clones was 3.4-5.9 times higher than in the wild-type MDCK. The rate of incorporation of [35S]sulfate into sulfolipids of osmR-A and osmR-B was 1.9-6.7 times higher than MDCK. 3. The stimulation of incorporation into sulfolipids by hyperosmotic culture was completely inhibited by cycloheximide. The pulse-chase studies indicated decreased turnover rate of sulfolipids in osmR-A.
