An intracellular activity, which is induced by dimethyl sulfoxide (DMSO) or hexamethylenebisacetamide (HMBA) and leads to erythroid differentiation in mouse Friend cells, was characterized by cell fusion between genetically marked intact cells and cytoplasts. For this, a procedure for rapid selection of cybrids was devised by sensitizing non-fused cells with oligomycin. We were able to demonstrate that cytoplasts derived from DMSO- (or HMBA)-treated cells trigger erythroid differentiation upon fusion with UV-irradiated cells. The activity in the cytoplasts remained only transiently and its induction was inhibited by biologically active phorbol esters or cycloheximide. The activity, however, was not induced in cytoplasts by directly treating them with DMSO (or HMBA). These results indicate that (1) the intracellular erythroid-inducing activity is located in cytoplasts, (2) it acts in trans and induces erythroid differentiation as a dominant factor and (3) its production requires de novo nuclear protein synthesis. The mechanisms of the induction of the intracellular activity and of how it triggers erythroid differentiation are discussed.  相似文献

Membrane and membrane skeleton proteins were examined in erythroid progenitor cells during terminal differentiation. The employed model system of erythroid differentiation was that in which proerythroblasts from mice infected with the anemia-inducing strain of Friend virus differentiate in vitro in response to erythropoietin (EP). With this system, developmentally homogeneous populations of cells can be examined morphologically and biochemically as they progress from proerythroblasts through enucleated reticulocytes. alpha and beta spectrins, the major proteins of the erythrocyte membrane skeleton, are synthesized in the erythroblasts both before and after EP exposure. At all times large portions of the newly synthesized spectrins exist in and are turned over in the cytoplasm. The remaining newly synthesized spectrin is found in a cellular fraction containing total membranes. Pulse-chase experiments show that little of the cytoplasmic spectrins become membrane associated, but that the proportion of newly synthesized spectrin which is membrane associated increases as maturation proceeds. A membrane fraction enriched in plasma membranes has significant differences in the stoichiometry of spectrin accumulation as compared to total cellular membranes. Synthesis of band 3 protein, the anion transporter, is induced only after EP addition to the erythroblasts. All of the newly synthesized band 3 is membrane associated. A two-dimensional gel survey was conducted of newly synthesized proteins in the plasma membrane enriched fraction of the erythroblasts as differentiation proceeded. A majority of the newly synthesized proteins remain in the same proportion to each other during maturation; however, a few newly synthesized proteins greatly increase following EP induction while others decrease markedly. Of the radiolabeled proteins observed in two dimensional gels, only the spectrins, band 3 and actin become major proteins of the mature erythrocyte membrane. Examination of total proteins of the plasma membrane enriched fractions of EP-treated erythroblasts using silver staining and 32P autoradiography show that many proteins and phosphoproteins are selectively eliminated from this fraction late in the course of differentiation during the reticulocyte stage. The selective removal of many proteins at the reticulocyte stage of development combined with previous selective synthesis and accumulation of some specific proteins such as alpha and beta spectrin and band 3 in the differentiating erythroblasts lead to the final mammalian erythrocyte membrane structure.  相似文献

Sequences essential for dimerisation have been identified in the hormone binding domain of the mouse oestrogen receptor by insertional and point mutagenesis and sequence comparisons reveal that equivalent residues may be conserved in other members of the nuclear hormone receptor superfamily. To assess functional compatibility of this region between members of the receptor superfamily, peptide sequences corresponding to the equivalent regions of the human androgen receptor and retinoic acid receptor have been substituted for the dimerisation domain of the mouse oestrogen receptor. The resulting chimeric proteins were analysed for high affinity DNA binding using a gel retardation assay and shown to bind with reduced affinity compared to the wild type oestrogen receptor. The reduction in DNA binding observed may result from the intramolecular incompatibility of functional elements within the hormone binding domain of nuclear hormone receptors.  相似文献

The differentiation of immature erythroblasts, isolated from anaemic rabbit bone marrow by density centrifugation in bovine serum albumin gradients, is accelerated by the addition of 10−5−10−4 Ms haemin to the culture medium. Both the proportion of benzidine-positive cells and the synthesis of haemoglobin relative to the total protein were increased, whereas cell growth and DNA synthesis were decreased. Some of these changes were detected within 4 h and were maximal after 18–40 h. It is suggested that haem may have a physiological role in regulating in vivo erythropoiesis during haemolysis by accelerating terminal erythroid cell differentiation.  相似文献

Erythroid differentiation factor (EDF), inhibin beta A-homodimer, induced expression of follicle stimulating hormone receptors on rat granulosa cells prepared from diethylstilbestrol primed immature female rats. After 3 day incubation with EDF, the number of FSH receptors on the granulosa cells was increased to about 3.5 times of the control value in a dose dependent manner with an ED50 value of 61 ng/ml. On the other hand, EDF related peptides, i.e., bovine 32K Da inhibin A and TGF beta, had no effect on the FSH receptor induction. The present observation suggests that EDF may play a role in the initiation of the cytodifferentiation of ovarian granulosa cells.  相似文献

Cells are exposed to a large variety of cytokines that signal through corresponding cytokine receptors. In healthy tissues or tissues that respond properly to disturbed homeostasis, the cross-talk of a few conserved core signaling pathways downstream of the cytokine receptors is translated into an adequate cellular response. In chronic inflammatory diseases but also in cancer associated inflammation cytokine expression and the downstream signaling networks are dysregulated. Targeted therapies are aimed at the specific interference with dysregulated cytokine signaling. In this article some concepts of pharmacological intervention with cytokine signaling will be reviewed including biologics that target cytokines and cytokine receptors. Receptor fusion proteins consisting of the ligand-binding domains of cytokine receptors are highly specific and potent cytokine inhibitors and will be discussed in more detail.  相似文献

Two receptor serine/threonine kinases (types I and II) have been identified as signaling transducing activin receptors. We studied the possibility of inhibiting activin A-dependent differentiation in K562 cells, using a dominant negative mutant of type II receptor. A vector was constructed expressing activin type II truncated receptor (ActRIIa) that lacks the cytoplasmic kinase domain. Since activin type I and II receptors form heteromeric complexes for signaling, the mutant receptors compete for binding to endogenous receptors, hence acting in a dominant negative fashion. K562 cells were stably transfected with ActRIIa, and independent clones were expanded. The truncated cDNA was integrated into the genome of the transfectants, as shown by polymerase chain reaction; and the surface expression of truncated receptors was shown by affinity cross-linking with (125)I-activin A. In wild-type K562 cells, activin A induced erythroid differentiation and cells started to express hemoglobins. In transfected cells expressing ActRIIa, the induction of erythroid differentiation was abrogated and less than 10% of cells were hemoglobin-containing cells after culture with activin A. Further transfection with wild-type type II receptors rescued the mutant phenotype of these transfectants, indicating that the effect of ActRIIa is dominant negative. In addition, phosphorylation of the cytoplasmic kinase domain of the type II receptor in vitro confirms the autophosphorylation of this portion of the receptor. Therefore, induction of erythroid differentiation in vitro is mediated through the cell surface activin receptor, and interference with this receptor signaling inhibits this process of differentiation in K562 cells.  相似文献

The oncogene v-myb and its cellular progenitor c-myb encode nuclear, DNA binding phosphoproteins that are thought to regulate the expression of myb-responsive genes during myeloid differentiation. To identify such myb-regulated genes, and to explore the mechanisms by which v-myb affects their expression, we have established a conditional expression system for v-myb. We have converted the v-myb protein to an estrogen-inducible transactivator by fusing the protein to the hormone binding domain of the human estrogen receptor. Expression of the chimeric protein in a chicken macrophage cell-line causes estrogen-dependent, reversible changes in the differentiation state as well as alterations in the gene expression program of the cells. We have used this estrogen-dependent v-myb expression system to identify a novel v-myb regulated gene.  相似文献

A cellular receptor for erythroid differentiation factor (EDF) was demonstrated by incubation of 125I-labeled EDF with rat follicular granulosa cell cultures. The specific binding of labeled EDF to the cells showed saturation; Scatchard analysis of binding data indicated a single class of receptors having Kd = 3.4 x 10(-10) M. A large excess of unlabeled EDF reduced labeled EDF binding almost completely, whereas similar doses of inhibin and transforming growth factor type beta, which are quite similar to EDF in protein structure and subunit organization, had no effect; EDF did not share receptors with those factors. EDF receptor (activin A receptor) expression was enhanced in granulosa cells cultured in the presence of follicle-stimulating hormone; follicle-stimulating hormone raised the number of EDF binding sites/cell from 13,000 to 96,000 without altering the binding affinity.  相似文献

SET-CAN associated with the t(9;9) in acute undifferentiated leukemia encodes almost the entire sequence of SET and the C-terminal two-third portion of CAN, including the FG repeat region. To clarify a role(s) of SET-CAN in leukemogenesis, we developed transgenic mice expressing SET-CAN under the control of the Gata1 gene hematopoietic regulatory domain that is active in distinct sets of hematopoietic cells. SET-CAN transgenic mice showed anemia, thrombocytopenia, and splenomegaly. A significant number of transgenic mice started dying after 6 months post-birth, being in good agreement with the fact that red blood cells and platelets decreased. We found that a significant number of c-kit+ myeloid cells appeared in peripheral blood in transgenic mice. Characterization of the bone marrow cells of transgenic mice indicated impairment in hematopoietic differentiation of erythroid, megakaryocytic, and B cell lineages by SET-CAN. Transgenic mice, in particular, exhibited a high population of the c-kit+Sca-1+Lin- fraction in bone marrow cells compared with that of the control littermates. Our results demonstrate that SET-CAN blocks the hematopoietic differentiation program--one of the characteristics of acute myeloid leukemia.  相似文献

Carbonic anhydrase activity is increased in Friend erythroleukemia (FL) cells during the enhancement of erythroid differentiation in the presence of dimethylsulfoxide (DMSO) or butyric acid. Untreated FL cells show an increase in enzyme activity associated with logarithmic growth. The increase in the specific activity of carbonic anhydrase in the differentiating treated cells, however, appears to be due to at least two additional general mechanisms: (1) an induction of carbonic anhydrase paralleling the stimulation of hemoglobin synthesis and (2) the stability and/or retention of active carbonic anhydrase as compared to most of the other cell proteins. The stimulation of carbonic anhydrase activity in the treated cells is inhibited by 5-bromo-2'-deoxyuridine (BrdU). This is the first demonstration of BrdU inhibition of a DMSO induced product not directly related to hemoglobin.  相似文献

The oligosaccharide-anthracyclines, aclacinomycin A, marcellomycin and musettamycin, are potent inducers of erythroid differentiation in hemopoietic cell lines of rodent and human origin. The present studies revealed that pyrromycin, a closely related monosaccharide-anthracycline, induced erythroid differentiation in Friend leukemia cells and in the human leukemia cell line K 562. Pyrromycin, marcellomycin and musettamycin, which possess an identical aglycone structure containing a Cl-hydroxyl group, exhibited relatively low optimal inductive concentrations. In contrast, the optimal inductive concentration of aclacinomycin A, which lacks the Cl-hydroxyl group, was markedly higher, i.e., the differentiation inducing capacity was lower. It should be noted, however, that the yield of differentiated cells following treatment with the monosaccharide-anthracycline pyrromycin was distinctly lower than that after treatment with the oligo-saccharide-anthracyclines, aclacinomycin A, marcellomycin or musettamycin. Thus, our data indicate that the efficacy of anthracyclines to induce erythroid differentiation is related to a) the presence of a Cl-hydroxyl group in the aglycone and b) the presence of an oligosaccharide side chain.Abbreviation Hb hemoglobin  相似文献

We previously reported that glycopeptidolipid (GPL) isolated from Mycobacterium avium serovar 4 inhibited phagosome-lysosome (P-L) fusion when macrophages phagocytosed heat-killed Staphylococcus aureus (SA). In the present study we analyzed the underlying inhibitory mechanism of GPL coated on SA. Elimination of oligosaccharide from GPL abrogated its inhibitory activity. GPL did not inhibit P-L fusion of opsonized SA phagocytosed via complement receptors. The inhibitory activity of GPL was competitively reduced by the presence of alpha-methyl-D-mannoside and anti-mannose receptor antibody, suggesting that inhibition of P-L fusion by GPL is mediated through mannose receptor. Recruitment of early endosome antigen 1 and Ca2+/calmodulin kinase II in human macrophage-like THP-1 cells were significantly suppressed by GPL, indicating that GPL inhibits steps for leading to the P-L fusion.  相似文献

Gbetagamma subunits modulate several distinct molecular events involved with G protein signaling. In addition to regulating several effector proteins, Gbetagamma subunits help anchor Galpha subunits to the plasma membrane, promote interaction of Galpha with receptors, stabilize the binding of GDP to Galpha to suppress spurious activation, and provide membrane contact points for G protein-coupled receptor kinases. Gbetagamma subunits have also been shown to inhibit the activities of GTPase-activating proteins (GAPs), both phospholipase C (PLC)-betas and RGS proteins, when assayed in solution under single turnover conditions. We show here that Gbetagamma subunits inhibit G protein GAP activity during receptor-stimulated, steady-state GTPase turnover. GDP/GTP exchange catalyzed by receptor requires Gbetagamma in amounts approximately equimolar to Galpha, but GAP inhibition was observed with superstoichiometric Gbetagamma. The potency of inhibition varied with the GAP and the Galpha subunit, but half-maximal inhibition of the GAP activity of PLC-beta1 was observed with 5-10 nM Gbetagamma, which is at or below the concentrations of Gbetagamma needed for regulation of physiologically relevant effector proteins. The kinetics of GAP inhibition of both receptor-stimulated GTPase activity and single turnover, solution-based GAP assays suggested a competitive mechanism in which Gbetagamma competes with GAPs for binding to the activated, GTP-bound Galpha subunit. An N-terminal truncation mutant of PLC-beta1 that cannot be directly regulated by Gbetagamma remained sensitive to inhibition of its GAP activity, suggesting that the Gbetagamma binding site relevant for GAP inhibition is on the Galpha subunit rather than on the GAP. Using fluorescence resonance energy transfer between cyan or yellow fluorescent protein-labeled G protein subunits and Alexa532-labeled RGS4, we found that Gbetagamma directly competes with RGS4 for high-affinity binding to Galpha(i)-GDP-AlF4.  相似文献
