HAb18G/CD147 functions in invasion and metastasis of hepatocellular carcinoma

CD147 molecule is reported to be correlated with the malignancy of some cancers; however, it remains unclear whether it is involved in the progression of hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC). Here, we investigated the function of HAb18G/CD147, a member of CD147 family, and its antibodies, HAb18 and LICARTIN, in HCC invasion and metastasis. We observed that HAb18G/CD147 gene silence in HCC cells significantly decreased the secretion of matrix metalloproteinase (MMP) and the invasive potential of HCC cells (P < 0.001). MMP silence in HCC cells also significantly suppressed the invasion of the cells when cocultured with fibroblasts; however, its inhibitory effect was significantly weaker than that of both HAb18G/CD147 silence in HCC cells and that of MMP silence in fibroblasts (P < 0.001). Blocking theHAb18G/CD147 molecule on HCC cells with HAb18 monoclonal antibody resulted in a similar suppressive effect on MMP secretion and cell invasion, but with no significant effects on the cell growth. (131)I-labeled HAb18 F(ab')(2) (LICARTIN), however, significantly inhibited the in vitro growth of HCC cells (P < 0.001). In an orthotopic model of HCC in nude mice, HAb18 and LICARTIN treatment effectively reduced the tumor growth and metastasis as well as the expression of three major factors in the HCC microenviroment (MMPs, vascular endothelial growth factor, and fibroblast surface protein) in the paracancer tissues. Overall, these results suggest that HAb18G/CD147 plays an important role in HCC invasion and metastasis mainly via modulating fibroblasts, as well as HCC cells themselves to disrupt the HCC microenviroment. LICARTIN can be used as a drug targeting to HAb18G/CD147 in antimetastasis and recurrence therapy of HCC.     

Covalent modifications of antitetanus F(ab')2 fragments with natural and synthetic polyamines and their effects on the antibody endocytosis in cultured HL60 cells

For antibody therapeutics to succeed when intracellular target molecules are involved, a strategy must be applied to increase the delivery of antibodies into cells to reach their targets. Antibody cationization by chemical conjugation of a polyamine could be one such strategy. Both natural polyamines with increasing net charge valencies (putrescine, PUT; spermidine, SPD; and spermine, SPM) and a synthetic polyamine (hexamethylenediamine, HMD) can be used to cationize antibodies, but no comparison of the respective effects of these polyamines on intracellular delivery of antibodies has been performed yet. This study describes the covalent modification of antitetanus F(ab') 2 with these four polyamines using different reaction conditions, and compares the effects of these modifications on antibody interaction with cultured HL60 cells. The cationized antibodies retained > or =80% of the binding activity of the unmodified F(ab') 2 with regard to tetanus toxin, as measured by an antigen-binding capture enzyme immunoassay. This same method was used to quantify the amount of cell-associated F(ab') 2 following incubation with HL60 cells. Cationization was shown to enhance cell interaction of the F(ab') 2 : the higher the number of coupled polyamine molecules, the greater the amount of antibody associated with the cells. Moreover, coupling the F(ab') 2 to the SPD and SPM polyamines had greater effect on cell interaction than coupling the F(ab') 2 to the PUT and HMD diamines. Internalization of the cationized antibodies by the HL60 cells was demonstrated by confocal microscopy. This technique also showed that SPD and SPM were more effective than PUT and HMD in terms of intracellular delivery of the F(ab') 2 . It follows from all these results that electrostatic interaction involving charge density plays a predominant role in the endocytic transport mechanism of the F(ab') 2 modified with these polyamines. However, coupling the F(ab') 2 to SPM and SPD yielded the same maximum effects in terms of cell interaction, although coupling SPM was expected to increase the antibody net charge valency more than coupling SPD. This finding suggests that the effective global charge for the cell interaction and uptake of polyamine-modified antibodies does not simply correspond to the addition of the ionizable amine functions on the coupled polyamines, and that other factors may come into play.     

An immobile subset of plasma membrane CD11b/CD18 (Mac-1) is involved in phagocytosis of targets recognized by multiple receptors

CD11b/CD18 is a heterodimeric leukocyte surface receptor which functions in both C3bi-ligand binding and homotypic and heterotypic cell adherence. We have examined the effect of several anti-CD11b/18 mAb on phagocytosis of IgG (EIgG) or complement (EC4b) opsonized erythrocytes by polymorphonuclear leukocytes (PMN) and monocytes. F(ab')2 of two mAb (IB4, an anti-beta-chain mAb and Mo-1 an anti-alpha-chain mAb), inhibited both phagocytosis of EIgG and phorbol ester-stimulated phagocytosis of EC4b by PMN and monocytes. These F(ab')2 inhibited the binding of EIgG to monocytes, but they had no effect on binding of EIgG to PMN, or EC4b to either phagocyte. In addition, IB4 inhibited phorbol-ester stimulated phagocytosis of sheep E opsonized with C component 3bi (EC3bi) without inhibiting rosetting of these same targets. These data separate the anti-phagocytic effect of these mAb from effects on phagocyte-target adherence. When PMN were adherent to an anti-CD11b/CD18 F(ab')2-coated surface, EC3bi binding was abolished, but phagocytosis of EIgG or EC4b was unaffected. Subsequent addition of fluid- phase IB4 or Mo-1 F(ab')2 inhibited phagocytosis of EIgG or EC4b by the adherent cells. This suggested that the CD11b/CD18 involved in C3bi rosetting were mobile in the membrane, whereas those involved in phagocytosis of EIgG or EC4b were not. Cytochalasin treatment of PMN during adherence to F(ab')2-coated plates decreased both apical expression of CD11b/18 and subsequent ingestion of EIgG by 70%, suggesting that microfilaments are important in maintaining immobile CD11b/18 on the apical PMN surface. We conclude that there are functionally distinct populations of CD11b/CD18 on monocytes and PMN: one involved in C3bi rosetting and another involved in the process of phagocytosis mediated via several different receptors. CD11b/18 is not required for optimal target binding in all cases, but is always required for ingestion. As with several other integrins, the CD11b/18 molecules involved in phagocytosis have a functional association with the cell cytoskeleton.     

HAb18G/CD147 enhances the secretion of matrix metalloproteinases (MMP) via cGMP/NO-sensitive capacitative calcium entry (CCE) and accordingly attenuates adhesion ability of fibroblasts

The present study examined the effect of hepatoma-associated antigen HAb18G (homologous to CD147) expression on the NO/cGMP-regulated Ca2+ mobilization to induce matrix metalloproteinases (MMP) production and attenuate adhesion ability of mouse fibroblast NIH/3T3 cells. HAb18G/CD147 cDNA was transfected into fibroblast 3T3 cells to obtain a cell line stably expressing HAb18G/CD147, t3T3, as demonstrated by immunofluorescence staining and flow cytometry assays. 8-Bromo-cGMP inhibited the thapsigargin-induced Ca2+ entry in 3T3 cells, whereas an inhibitor of protein kinase G, KT5823 (1 microM), led to an increase in Ca2+ entry. Expression of HAb18G/CD147 in t3T3 cells decreased the inhibitory response to cGMP. A similar effect on the Ca2+ entry was observed in 3T3 cells in response to an NO donor, (+/-)-S-nitroso-N-acetylpenicillamine (SNAP). The inhibitory effect of SNAP on the thapsigargin-induced Ca2+ entry was also reduced in HAb18G/CD147-expressing t3T3 cells, indicating a role for HAb18G/CD 147 in NO/cGMP-regulated Ca2+ entry. Results of gelatin zymography assays showed that addition of extracellular Ca2+ induced MMP (MMP-2, MMP-9) release and activation in a dose-dependent manner, and expression of HAb18G/CD147 enhanced the secretion of MMP-2 and MMP-9 in 3T3 cells. 8-Bromo-cGMP and SNAP reduced the production of MMP in 3T3 cells but not in t3T3 with HAb18G/CD147 expression. RT-PCR experiments substantiated that the expression of MMP-2 and MMP-9 mRNA in HAb18G/CD 147-expressing t3T3 cell was significantly greater than that in 3T3 cells. Experiments investigating adhesion potentials demonstrated that HAb18G/CD147-expressing t3T3 cells pretreated with Ca2+ attached to Matrigel-coated culture plates significantly less efficiently than 3T3 cells. The proportion of attached cells could be increased by treatment with 8-bromo-cGMP and SNAP in 3T3 cells, but not in t3T3. These results suggest that HAb18G/CD147 attenuates adhesion potentials in fibroblasts by enhancing the secretion of MMP through NO/cGMP-sensitive capacitative Ca2+ entry.     

The involvement of HAb18G/CD147 in regulation of store-operated calcium entry and metastasis of human hepatoma cells

The present study examined the effect of hepatoma-associated antigen HAb18G (homologous to CD147) expression on the NO/cGMP-regulated Ca(2+) mobilization and metastatic process of human hepatoma cells. HAb18G/CD147 cDNA was transfected into human 7721 hepatoma cells to obtain a cell line stably expressing HAb18G/CD147, T7721, as demonstrated by Northern blot and immunocytochemical studies. 8-Bromo-cGMP (cGMP) inhibited the thapsigargin-induced Ca(2+) entry in a concentration-dependent manner in 7721 cells. The cGMP-induced inhibition was abolished by an inhibitor of protein kinase G, KT5823 (1 microm). However, expression of HAb18G/CD147 in T7721 cells decreased the inhibitory response to cGMP. A similar concentration-dependent inhibitory effect on the Ca(2+) entry was observed in 7721 cells in response to a NO donor, (+/-)-S-nitroso-N-acetylpenicillamine (SNAP). The inhibitory effect of SNAP on the thapsigargin-induced Ca(2+) entry was significantly reduced in HAb18G/CD147-expressing T7721 cells, indicating a role for HAb18G/CD147 in NO/cGMP-regulated Ca(2+) entry. Experiments investigating metastatic potentials demonstrated that HAb18G/CD147-expressing T7721 cells attached to the Matrigel-coated culture plates and invaded through Matrigel-coated permeable filters at the rate significantly greater than that observed in 7721 cells. Both the attachment and invasion rates could be suppressed by SNAP, and the inhibitory effect of SNAP could be reversed by NO inhibitor, N(G)-nitro-l-arginine methyl ester. The sensitivity of the attachment and invasion rates to cGMP was significantly reduced in T7721 cells as compared with 7721 cells when cells were pretreated with thapsigargin. The difference in the sensitivity between the two cells could be abolished by a Ca(2+) channel blocker, Ni(2+) (3 mm). These results suggest that HAb18G/CD147 enhances metastatic potentials in human hepatoma cells by disrupting the regulation of store-operated Ca(2+) entry by NO/cGMP.     

Sequential adsorption of F(ab')(2) and BSA on negatively and positively charged polystyrene latexes

The aim of the present work is to study the sequential adsorption of F(ab')(2) and bovine serum albumin (BSA) molecules adsorbed onto positively and negatively charged polystyrene latexes. Cationic and anionic latexes were prepared by emulsifier-free emulsion polymerization. Adsorptions of F(ab')(2) on both latexes at a low ionic strength and different pHs were performed. The cationic latex showed a higher adsorption of F (ab')(2) molecules over a range of pH, which could be due to the formation of multilayers. Sequential adsorption of anti-CRP F(ab')(2) and monomeric BSA were performed at two different pre-adsorbed F(ab')(2) amounts on both types of latex. Displacement of F(ab')(2) occurred only when the preadsorbed amounts were larger than a certain critical value, which depends on the adsorption pH. A greater displacement of larger preadsorbed amounts might be the result of a weaker contact between the protein molecules and the polystyrene surface. The displacement of F(ab')(2) previously adsorbed onto both latexes occurred due to pH changes, an increase of ionic strength and the presence of BSA molecules. The effect caused by these three factors was studied independently. The main factors in the desorption of F(ab')(2) on the anionic latex are the changes in pH and ionic strength, whereas on the cationic latex the desorption is mainly caused by the increase of the ionic strength and the presence of BSA. The colloidal stability of the immunotatex was improved by BSA adsorption, especially on cationic latex. (c) 1995 John Wiley & Sons, Inc.     

BetaIg-h3 is involved in the HAb18G/CD147-mediated metastasis process in human hepatoma cells

HAb18G/CD147, a new hepatoma-associated antigen cloned and screened from human hepatocellular carcinoma cDNA library, is closely correlated with metastasis process in human hepatoma cells. In the present study we aimed to identify the pivotal molecules of the HAb18G/CD147 signal transduction pathway. The investigation showed that betaig-h3, a secretory extracellular matrix (ECM) protein, was upregulated in HAb18G/CD147-expressing human hepatoma T7721 cells and was downregulated by depressing HAb18G/CD147 expression. The expression of betaig-h3, upregulated in human hepatoma cells, was positively relative to the expression of HAb18G/CD147 in different human hepatoma cell lines. By overexpressing betaig-h3 in human SMMC-7721 hepatoma cells, we discovered that betaig-h3 promoted cell adhesion, invasion, and matrix metalloproteinase (MMP) secretion potential. HAb18G/CD147-induced invasion and metastasis potential of human hepatoma cells can be attenuated by antibodies specific for betaig-h3, and no significant differences on inhibitory effects were observed among T7721 cells incubated with antibodies for betaig-h3 or HAb18G/CD147 or both types together. Taken together, our study suggests that betaig-h3, regulated by the expression of HAb18G/CD147, is involved in the HAb18G/CD147 signal transduction pathway and mediates the HAb18G/CD147-induced invasion and metastasis process of human hepatoma cells.     

Affinity targeting of Sendai virions to desialized human erythrocytes using hybrid antibody molecules

F(ab') fragments obtained from anti-Sendai virus antibodies were chemically coupled to F(ab') fragments obtained from anti-human red blood cell antibodies (anti-hRBC-Ab). This led to the formation of hybrid antibody molecules (anti-SV-anti-hRBC(F(ab')2) each of whose F(ab') fragment possessed different binding specificity. The anti-SV(F(ab'] part of the hybrid molecule interacted specifically with Sendai virus particles, while the anti-hRBC(F(ab'] part interacted with the surface of hRBC. These hybrid antibodies were able to mediate binding and fusion of SV to hRBC, from which the virus receptors were removed by treatment with neuraminidase (desialized hRBC). Neither anti-SV-anti-SV(F(ab')2) nor anti-hRBC-anti-hRBC(F(ab')2) possessed the same ability. Thus, it is shown that soluble, hybrid antibody molecules can effectively mediate functional binding of Sendai virus to virus-receptor-depleted cells.     

The glycosylation characteristic of hepatoma-associated antigen HAb18G/CD147 in human hepatoma cells

HAb18G/CD147 is a highly glycosylated transmembrane protein belonging to the immunoglobulin superfamily. Our previous studies have demonstrated that overexpressing HAb18G/CD147 enhances the metastatic potentials of human hepatoma cells. In the present study, to investigate the glycosylation characteristic of HAb18G/CD147 in human hepatoma cells, HAb18G/CD147 was first purified from human FHCC-98 hepatoma cells by immunoaffinity chromatography, and then introduced into human fibroblasts culture system for matrix metalloproteinases induction. As a result, the elevated levels of matrix metalloproteinases secreted by fibroblasts were detected by gelatin zymography. The lysates of human hepatoma FHCC-98 cell revealed two major forms of HAb18G/CD147 (43-66 and 35 kDa) by western blot assay. To elucidate whether the variation of molecule size were caused by different glycosylation, two different approaches were employed to accomplish this goal: deglycosylation with N-glycosylation inhibitor tunicamycin or endoglycosidases. A single deglycosylated core protein with molecular weight approximately 27 kDa was obtained from both methods. Furthermore, the results of endoglycosidases treatment also showed that two forms of HAb18G/CD147 contain different types of oligosaccharide chains, thus sensitive to different endoglycosidase. In conclusion, the present study demonstrated that purified native HAb18G/CD147 has the bioactivity of stimulating human fibroblasts to produce elevated levels of matrix metalloproteinases, and that the two different forms of HAb18G/CD147 are derived from the single core protein but differ in their degree and types of glycosylation.     

降低mRNA翻译起始区的稳定性原核非融合表达HAb18GEF

为在大肠杆菌中非融合表达肝癌相关抗原HAb18G胞外区片段（HAb18GEF）,将HAb18GEF基因的cDNA插入原核表达载体pET21a+。通过计算机辅助设计,对重组的HAb18GEF/pET21a+的mRNA翻译起始区（TIR）的二级结构和密码子偏性同时进行预测。结果发现其存在稳定的茎环结构和许多稀有密码子。通过优化二级结构和优化密码子偏性二种策略分别来降低HAb18GEF/pET21a+的mRNA翻译起始区（TIR）的稳定性。在不改变氨基酸序列的前提下,利用密码子的简并性,通过非连续定点突变实现这两种优化。将突变前后的重组子经酶切鉴定和测序验证后,转化感受态JM109DE3宿主菌后,随机挑菌37℃下用IPTG诱导表达。SDSPAGE、间接ELISA、Western blot 和细胞分级分离法分析这些重组子的诱导表达情况。RNA dot blot对比分析优化前后目的基因mRNA的量。结果证明,成功地构建了HAb18GEF/pET21a+及其二种优化突变体。仅优化TIR区二级结构或仅优化TIR区密码子偏性均能实现HAb18GEF蛋白的非融合表达,而未优化的重组子不表达任何HAb18GEF。非融合表达产物在大肠杆菌中主要以包涵体形式存在,高达293%。由于过表达和细胞渗漏,培养基和周质腔中也可检测到少许的HAb18GEF。优化二级结构和优化密码子偏性二种策略的HAb18GEF的非融合表达量基本相同。优化前后HAb18GEF转录的mRNA量没有差别。这些结果表明,降低mRNA翻译起始区的稳定性可实现肝癌相关抗原HAb18G胞外区片段在大肠杆菌中的非融合表达。
