Low temperature compartment formation in feline immunodeficiency virus-infected and uninfected feline kidney cells

Summary This study was to determine if feline immunodeficiency virus (FIV)-infected and uninfected Crandall feline kidney (CRFK) cells exhibited a low temperature (16°C) block in membrane trafficking between transitional endoplasmic reticulum and Golgi apparatus represented by intermediate compartment formation. Cells were cultured at different temperatures and membrane changes involving the Golgi apparatus and Golgi apparatus-associated membrane structures were monitored by electron microscopy and quantitated. With 30 min of incubation, membranes of the Golgi apparatus stack increased in amount at temperatures of 16°C and below compared to temperatures above 18°C. The increase was greatest along the major polarity axis as evidenced by an increased stack height. Neither the number of cisternae per stack nor the average stack diameter (width) was affected by temperature. The response was maximal between 15 and 30 min of low temperature treatment of the cells. Results with cells infected and uninfected with feline immunodeficiency virus were similar. The increase in stack height was due primarily to an increase of membranes at the cis face (cis Golgi apparatus network). At 18°C, membranes of the trans Golgi apparatus network accumulated suggesting that import from the cis Golgi network could proceed at this temperature, whereas exit from the trans Golgi network was still at least partially blocked. Also increased at 16°C and below were numbers of transition vesicles in the space between the Golgi apparatus and the transitional endoplasmic reticulum associated with the cis Golgi apparatus face. The results suggested interruption of the orderly flux of membranes into the Golgi apparatus at 16°C and below. Moreover, the block appeared to be reversible. Upon transfer from 16°C to 37°C, there was a time-dependent decrease in the accumulations of cis compartment membrane accompanied by a corresponding equivalent increase in the membranes of the trans Golgi apparatus compartment.     

Epidermal calcium-binding protein: a marker of early differentiation of basal layer keratinocytes of rats

Epidermal calcium-binding protein (ECaBP) is present in the cells of the basal layer of the epidermis and other stratified epithelia. Since the basal layer compartment contains at least two types of cells: slow-cycling, poorly-differentiated, and actively proliferating, more differentiated cells, it was of interest to determine whether they both contained ECaBP. Basal and nearly suprabasal layer keratinocytes from newborn rat epidermis were fractionated into three fractions on the basis of cell size, using low-gravity sedimentation. The cell differentiation in each subgroup was estimated by cell size, morphology, cell cycle stage, RNA/DNA content, and the presence of specific keratins. The presence of ECaBP in these fractions was detected by immunocytochemistry and immunoblotting. Double staining with ECaBP antibodies and propidium iodide followed by flow cytometry was used to correlate ECaBP production and the stage of cell cycle. The relative cell size, measured by the light scattering was used to study the relationship between cell size and ECaBP production. The results show that small keratinocytes with low DNA and RNA content (G₀ cells) do not express ECaBP. ECaBP was found only in intermediate size basal keratinocytes with higher DNA and RNA contents, corresponding to actively proliferating S phase cells. Large keratinocytes, which express suprabasal keratin and have low DNA and high RNA content, cease to express ECaBP. ECaBP may, therefore, be a useful marker for assessing the movement of cells from poorly differentiated reserve compartment towards proliferation and further differentiation in both physiological and pathological situations.

暗纹东方鲀耐寒相关基因CIRBP、HMGB1和AFP-Ⅳ的分子特征和对低温胁迫的响应

为了探索暗纹东方鲀(Takifugu obscurus)对低温环境的响应机制,克隆了暗纹东方鲀耐寒相关基因CIRBP、HMGB1和AFP-Ⅳ的cDNA序列,并进行了基因的分子特征和功能分析。组织分布检测显示CIRBP和HMGB1在下丘脑、肝脏和肌肉中具有高表达,而AFP-Ⅳ则主要在肝脏中表达。在受到低温胁迫后, 3种基因在肝脏和下丘脑中的表达呈现不同的变化趋势,其中CIRBP基因在肝脏中于48h表达量显著增加,在下丘脑中于12h和48h有上调表达; HMGB1基因在肝脏中呈现逐渐上升的趋势,于48h达到最大值,而在下丘脑中呈现先上升后下降的趋势,处理后2h达到最大, 2—8h下降,于8h下降至最低,随后恢复至初始水平;肝脏中的AFP-Ⅳ在0—24h无显著变化,在48h上升至最大值。进一步通过大肠杆菌原核表达系统研究了AFP-Ⅳ的抗冻功能,发现AFP-Ⅳ融合蛋白在–80℃下具有抗冻活性,并且抗冻活性随着浓度的增加而提高。研究结果表明3种基因都参与了暗纹东方鲀对低温胁迫的应答过程,为深入探索暗纹东方鲀的耐低温机制奠定了基础。
