The separation of intracellular serum albumin from rat liver 总被引:6,自引:4,他引:2
1. Antibody precipitation of serum albumin from rat liver extracts yields impure preparations of the protein. 2. When rat liver is labelled with l-[1-(14)C]leucine, antibody precipitation of albumin leads to material that is contaminated with a protein or proteins of very high specific radioactivity. Only 10-25% of the radioactivity of the antibody precipitate is associated with serum albumin. 3. A chromatographic procedure is described that can be used to separate radiochemically pure serum albumin from antibody precipitates obtained from extracts of rat liver. 4. Extracellular albumin secreted by liver slices yields a precipitate with antibody which contains much less radioactive impurity. About 70-90% of the radioactivity is associated with serum albumin. Serum albumin separated by antibody precipitation from rat serum labelled in vivo was not contaminated with the radiochemical impurities associated with intracellular albumin. 5. A simple method is described of obtaining the content of serum albumin in rat liver extracts by the technique of isotope dilution and ion-exchange chromatography. 相似文献

Sodium valproate (VPA), a simple 8-carbon branched chain fatty acid, is an effective anti-epileptic drug with an occasional serious side effect of liver damage, including the accumulation of triacylglycerols within hepatocytes, and reductions in serum protein concentrations. By investigating the effects of VPA, using biliary fistula rats and isolated perfused rat livers, we have shown that secretion of triacylglycerols and rat serum albumin at the sinusoidal pole of hepatocytes, and of phospholipids, lysosomal contents, and IgA at their biliary pole, are all reduced, to somewhat different extents, by acute VPA administration. In addition, the vesicular transcytosis of exogenous protein (i.e. bovine serum albumin) from the perfusion fluid into bile is also decreased by VPA administration. To determine whether the phenomena were specific to VPA, a control series of experiments was also performed using octanoate (a straight-chain analogue of VPA). With the biliary fistula rats, octanoate did not show inhibition of secretion as compared with the saline controls; with the isolated perfused livers, however, octanoate did show such an inhibition. These phenomena suggest that VPA inhibition of secretion may be a factor in its hepatotoxicity, as the effects are apparent in both the whole animal and the isolated perfused liver, whereas octanoate is not hepatotoxic in the whole animal. Since when octanoate is administered to the isolated liver it causes an inhibition in secretion similar to that caused by VPA, it may be that the large dose of this compound reaching the liver affects a key step in liver metabolism or vesicle transport under these circumstances. Since octanoate does not normally reach the liver in such amounts, as it will normally be metabolized by other tissues, it is not hepatotoxic in the whole animal as is VPA. 相似文献

The purified biotin binding protein of pregnant rat serum was shown to be immunologically similar to rat serum albumin as
assessed by a sensitive radioimmunoassay. In radioimmunoassay for rat biotin binding protein, the binding of [125I] rat biotin binding protein to anti-chicken egg yolk biotin binding protein antibodies was displaced by both rat serum (10–100
nl) and purified rat serum albumin (0.1–10 ng). Similarly, in radioimmunoassay for rat serum albumin the binding of [125I] rat serum albumin to either anti-rat serum albumin antibodies or anti-chicken egg yolk biotin binding protein antibodies
was displaced by unlabelled rat biotin binding protein at comparable concentration range (0·5–10 ng). Significant fractions
of radioiodinated rat biotin binding protein and rat serum albumin bound to antibodies to chicken egg yolk biotin binding
protein. In immature rats, the circulating half-lives of rat biotin binding protein and rat serum albumin were determined
to be 12 and 17 h respectively. The rat biotin binding protein and rat serum albumin were analysed by techniques that exploit
their physicochemical properties. They displayed similar electrophoretic mobilities in alkaline as well as denaturing sodium
dodecyl sulphate-polyacrylamide gels. However, in nonequilibrium pH gradient polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis, they resolved
clearly. In two-dimensional tryptic peptide map analysis, the two proteins showed similarities as well as significant differences
in the relative distribution patterns of their iodopeptides. These results showed that the primary structure of rat biotin
binding protein and rat serum albumin were different in finer details despite the fact that they shared significant immunological
cross-reactivity. 相似文献

Proalbumin is processed to serum albumin in COS-1 cells transfected with cDNA for rat albumin 总被引:2,自引:0,他引:2

Synthesis and processing of rat albumin were investigated in COS-1 cells transiently expressing rat albumin. Analysis using isoelectric focusing revealed that serum-type albumin, which is indistinguishable from the counterpart isolated from rat hepatocyte cuture medium, was secreted from the transfected COS-1 cells, indicating that proalbumin is effectively converted into serum albumin in the COS-1 cells, if not completely. Furthermore methylamine was found to cause the diminution of serum albumin released from the cells, substantiating that the proteolytical conversion of proalbumin occurs in the Golgi complex before discharge from the COS-1 cells. 相似文献

Screening lambda cDNA libraries from rat liver with antibody to native rat liver sulfite oxidase (RLSO) showed cross-reaction with two proteins that belong to the same gene family: serum albumin and vitamin D-binding protein. Antibodies raised against native RLSO or sodium dodecyl sulfate-denatured protein cross-reacted with these proteins by Western blot analysis. The relative effectiveness of RLSO antibody binding was estimated to be 1/5 for rat serum albumin and 1/10 for rat vitamin D-binding protein. This result was not caused by contaminating proteins in the RLSO used for immunization as the RLSO preparation did not react with rat serum albumin antibody. RLSO antibodies, selected for their ability to bind rat serum albumin immobilized on nitrocellulose, recognized both rat serum albumin and RLSO. RLSO antibody, with albumin-reactive antibody removed, still recognized vitamin D-binding protein, suggesting that multiple determinants specific to each protein are involved in the cross-reaction. Comparison of RLSO antibody binding to the rat and human proteins indicated that the determinants were species-specific. cDNA clones identified by screening cDNA libraries with RLSO antibody demonstrated that these determinants reside in the C-terminal domain of these proteins. These results suggest that these proteins contain some common immunological features and may be evolutionarily related. 相似文献

Evidence for the synthesis and secretion of APF--a bile lipid associated protein--by isolated rat hepatocytes 总被引:1,自引:0,他引:1

Bile lipids are thought to be secreted in a lipoprotein complex in which they are associated with cholesterol and a protein called the anionic polypeptidic fraction (APF). APF is present in both bile and serum HDL. The association of APF with both bile and lipoprotein strongly suggests that hepatocytes may be responsible for the synthesis and secretion of this protein. In the present work we attempted to verify this by studying the incorporation of [14C]leucine into APF in isolated rat hepatocytes and by immunolocalization in cell cultures. Results obtained showed that synthesis of APF by cells follows the same kinetic pattern as albumin and that it was the third most abundant protein in the bile secretion. Immunolocalization confirmed that APF is synthesized in the endoplasmic reticulum of hepatocytes. This protein which appears to be rapidly secreted could be of great value for the specific detection of the lipids destined for bile secretion. 相似文献

Short-term pure cultures and long-term cocultures of adult rat hepatocytes with rat liver epithelial cells, presumably derived from primitive biliary cells, were used to define in vitro models of iron overloaded hepatocytes in order to understand the molecular mechanism responsible for liver damage occurring in patients with hemochromatosis. In vitro iron overload was obtained by daily addition of ferric nitrilotriacetate to the culture medium. A concentration of 20 microM ferric salt induced hepatocyte iron overload with minimal cytotoxicity as evaluated by cell viability, morphological changes of treated cells and cytosolic enzyme leakage into the culture medium. The effects of iron overload on protein biosynthesis and secretion were studied in both short-term pure cultures and long-term cocultures of hepatocytes. The amounts of intracellular and newly synthesized proteins were never modified by the iron treatment. Furthermore, neither the relative amounts of transferrin and albumin mRNAs nor their translational products were altered by iron overload. Moreover, no change in the transferrin isomeric forms were observed in treated cells. In contrast, a prolonged exposure of cocultured hepatocytes to 20 microM ferric salt led to a significant decrease in the amount of proteins secreted in the medium. This decrease included the two major secreted proteins, namely albumin and transferrin, and probably all other secreted proteins. These results demonstrate that iron loading alters neither the total nor the liver specific protein synthesis activity of cultured hepatocytes. They suggest that chronic overload may impede the protein secretion process. 相似文献

A group of glycolipid toxins, corynetoxin (CT), isolated from parasitized annual ryegrass, was shown to suppress the synthesis of both albumin and transferrin by cultured fetal rat hepatocytes. Based on [3H]leucine incorporation, inhibition of transferrin synthesis was greater than that of both albumin and total protein synthesis. As a result, the secretion of albumin and transferrin was decreased. The incorporation of [3H]N-AcGlc into cellular glycoproteins was only marginally affected by CT, although a dramatic reduction was observed with respect to the secreted proteins. Transferrin secreted into the culture medium was substantially non-glycosylated, judging by the absence of [3H]N-AcGlc. These studies suggested that the toxin preferentially affects the synthesis, and hence the secretion of glycoproteins, although it did not block the secretion of the proteins albumin and transferrin, as these did not accumulate intercellularly. Since transferrin labelled with [3H]leucine but not [3H]N-AcGlc is detected in the culture medium of hepatocytes exposed to CT, it was concluded that glycosylation of the protein is not required for secretion. This study shows that the effects of CT on protein synthesis and secretion in cultured hepatocytes are similar to those reported for tunicamycin (TM). 相似文献

Intracellular transport of rat serum albumin is altered by a genetically engineered deletion of the propeptide 总被引:2,自引:0,他引:2
Many secreted proteins are synthesized with aminoterminal propeptides which are removed prior to secretion. There is increasing interest in the physiological roles of these propeptides, especially as mediators of intracellular protein trafficking. To investigate whether or not the propeptide of serum albumin offers an advantage in albumin secretion, we used oligonucleotide-directed mutagenesis to delete the 18 base pairs which encode the propeptide from a cDNA gene for rat serum albumin (RSA), inserted the deleted gene into COS cells, and studied the secretion of the gene product (RSA delta pro). Quantitative enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay analysis of medium from transfected cells showed that RSA delta pro was secreted at about 64% of the level of RSA. Furthermore, pulse-chase protein labeling studies demonstrated that the rate of secretion for RSA delta pro was greatly decreased relative to RSA. Immunofluorescent analyses of transfected cells showed accumulation of RSA delta pro in the endoplasmic reticulum, suggesting that transport through and/or exit from the ER was affected. The electrophoretic migration of secreted and intracellular forms of RSA and RSA delta pro indicated that they were the same molecular weight, and a specific amino-terminal binding assay, using nickel 63, confirmed the absence and proper cleavage of the prepeptide. These findings demonstrate that transport of RSA delta pro through the secretion pathway is inhibited and that the inhibition is due to the absence of the propeptide. 相似文献

Fertilized one-cell mouse ova were injected with messenger RNA (mRNA) for chicken ovalbumin or rat albumin. The ova were labeled with [3H]amino acids, and endogenous proteins as well as proteins in the culture medium were separated by two-dimensional electrophoresis. Following injection of either message, ova were able to synthesize and secrete the appropriate protein. However, when the message for globin was injected, globin appeared only among the endogenous ovum proteins but was not secreted into the culture medium. The location of the secreted proteins, albumin and ovalbumin, on two-dimensional gels suggests that ova process the proteins before secretion by removing the amino-terminal signal sequence from rat albumin and glycosylating ovalbumin. Rat albumin may be exported into the culture medium more rapidly than ovalbumin. In addition, at least one endogenous ovum protein was secreted at the one-cell stage. The studies establish the ability of the newly fertilized mouse ovum to synthesize and secrete proteins from injected as well as endogenous messages. 相似文献

The microtubule poison, colchicine, caused an abnormal output of a variety of proteins into rat bile. After 3 h of exposure to the drug, livers were isolated and perfused with media of defined protein composition. There was no essential change in permeability of the hepatobiliary system to proteins (e.g. bovine serum albumin) entering bile from the perfusion fluid. The rat (serum) albumin and fibrinogen that were secreted into bile from colchicine-treated livers were probably derived from the hepatocytes. Disruption of the microtubular system reduces the secretion of proteins at the sinusoidal face of the hepatocyte and results in an accumulation of secretory vesicles in the cytoplasm. It is suggested that under these conditions some of the vesicles discharge their contents into the bile canaliculus. 相似文献

Although the presence of intact host proteins in the cyst fluid of cyclophyllidean metacestodes has been well documented, the underlying reason for protein uptake is poorly understood. To investigate this discrepancy, both the cyst fluid (CF) and excreted/secreted (E/S) proteins were collected in vitro from Taenia crassiceps metacestodes 16 wk postinfection in Balb/cJ female mice. The CF and E/S were subsequently immunoblotted using rabbit anti-mouse whole serum antibodies as a probe. The results show that whole host proteins were not only internalized by metacestodes but also secreted as well. The predominant secreted host protein was 66 kDa and was confirmed to be mouse serum albumin. The amount of secreted albumin decreased daily, whereas the concentration of albumin in the cyst fluid remained consistent. This suggests that the secretion of albumin is a coordinated function rather than a random event. It is probable that albumin cycling may be an evolved mechanism providing multiple benefits for the larvae, including osmoregulation and protection from innate immune responses. 相似文献

Expression of liver phenotypes in cultured mouse hepatoma cells: synthesis and secretion of serum albumin 总被引:15,自引:0,他引:15
A permanent cell line, designated Hepa, has been isolated from a mouse hepatoma, BW 7756. The cell line synthesizes and secretes albumin at rates appreciably higher than previously reported hepatomas adapted to in vitro conditions. Monospecific antimouse serum albumin was produced in rabbits, and mouse serum albumin secreted by the hepatoma cells was identified by double diffusion, immunoelectrophoresis, and radioimmunodiffusion. A quantitative immunoassay was used to measure albumin secretion and to study the effects of culture conditions on albumin secretion. A subclonal analysis was performed to study the homogeneity and stability of cloned hepatoma lines in respect to albumin secretion. Different secretion rates were observed during the culture cycle. Significant clonal variation in respect to albumin secretion was found among ten subclones.The significance of clonal variation is discussed in relation to the study of epigenetic control of albumin expression in somatic hybrid cells. 相似文献

Hepatocytes were isolated from normal adult rat livers and cultured in a modified HI-WO/BA medium. A nearly confluent monolayer was established at the plating concentration employed. The hepatocytes synthesized ansd secreted albumin at rates similar to those observed in vivo. The cells secreted triacylglycerol in the absence of fatty acid substrate. Under these conditions the most abundant triacylglycerol molecular species contained 53 carbons. Incubation with oleic acid markedly increased triacylglycerol secretion predominantly in the form containing a total carbon number of 57. Approx. 80% of the secreted cholesterol was in the free form and this was unaffected by oleic acid. Employing monospecific antibodies constant rates of synthesis and secretion of apolipoproteins E and A-I were demonstrated by quantitative electroimmunoassay of the cell culture media. The rates of albumin, apolipoprotein E, and apolipoprotein A-I production were 1480, 170 and 60 microgram/h per g cell protein, respectively. 相似文献

Rat vitamin D binding protein. Determination of the full-length primary structure from cloned cDNA 总被引:6,自引:0,他引:6

Vitamin D binding protein (DBP) is an abundant serum glycoprotein secreted by the liver which transports vitamin D sterols, binds to actin, and is found on the surface of B-lymphocytes and subpopulations of T-lymphocytes. In the current study, a cDNA to rat DBP mRNA was cloned from a bacteriophage lambda gt 11 rat liver expression library. This DBP cDNA clone was identified by immunoblotting and its identity was confirmed by immunoprecipitation of a 54-kDa protein after hybrid-assisted translation. Northern analysis and primer extension mapping of rat liver mRNA indicated that the full-length DBP mRNA contains 1700 bases. By DNA sequence analysis this 1655-base pair clone contains a single open reading frame encoding the 476-amino acid containing full-length DBP and includes its 16-amino acid signal sequence. Analysis of the sequence reveals about 40% nucleotide and 23% amino acid homology to both albumin and alpha-fetoprotein. The encoded DBP contains a characteristic placement of cysteine residues, identical to that in albumin, suggesting a similar secondary folding structure. Albumin and alpha-fetoprotein are composed of three internally homologous domains. DBP mRNA terminates 122 amino acids before the larger albumin mRNA in the third internal domain, but retains the characteristic homology among the first two domains and the truncated portion of the third domain. These data support the conclusion that DBP is a member of a multigene family which includes albumin and alpha-fetoprotein. 相似文献

The synthesis of serum albumin in an in vitro protein-synthesizing system from wheat germ stimulated with rat liver polysomal RNA is demonstrated by immunoprecipitation. The newly synthesized albumin has the same electrophoretic mobility as rat serum albumin. There is a linear increase in precursor incorporation into total protein and albumin with increasing RNA concentration. Potassium and magnesium optima for albumin synthesis are different from those for total protein synthesis. 相似文献

Normal rabbit serum (NRS) produces intense staining of epinephrine (E) cells in microwave-heated sections of rat and mouse adrenal gland. This staining is not eliminated by liver adsorption, complement inactivation, high salt buffer, Triton X-100 or dilution in normal goat serum and bovine serum albumin (BSA), suggesting that it may result from specific antigen-antibody interactions. Western blots of adrenal medullary protein probed with NRS reveal several bands. The major band does not correspond to rat chromogranin A, which is a major constituent of E-cell secretory granules. The findings suggest that NRS may contain autoantibodies against a secreted rabbit E-cell protein with a homologous counterpart in rats and mice, and that this protein may be immunologically unmasked in situ by microwave heating. This phenomenon is a potential source of error in immunohistochemical studies of the adrenal medulla, and has potential biological significance in neuroimmunology. 相似文献

1. The influence of bovine serum albumin and soluble rat liver proteins on the activity of rat liver microsomal delta9 and delta6 desaturases has been studied. 2. In the absence of bovine serum albumin, the delta9 desaturase which converts stearoyl-CoA into oleoyl-CoA, shows a non-linear correlation between enzyme activity and protein concentration. 3. Optimum concentrations of bovine serum albumin have three main effects on the enzyme activity: (i) establishes a linear relationship between enzyme activity and protein concentration, (ii) stimulates the enzyme activity 2--3-fold and (iii) raises the optimum substrate concentration from 10 to 100 muM. 4. A highly purified soluble liver protein of molecular weight 24 000 also stimulated the enzyme activity and brought about a linear relationship between enzyme activity and protein concentration. 5. It was concluded that the non-linear kinetics were due to limiting amounts of substrate binding protein in the microsomal preparations. 6. The delta6 desaturase which converts linoleoyl-CoA into gamma-linolenoyl-CoA was also stimulated by bovine serum albumin and soluble liver proteins. 7. The significance of the fatty acid-binding proteins is discussed. 相似文献

The AtT20 pituitary cell is the one that was originally used to define the pathways taken by secretory proteins in mammalian cells. It possesses two secretory pathways, the constitutive for immediate secretion and the regulated for accumulation and release under hormonal stimulation. It is in the regulated pathway, most precisely in the immature granule of the regulated pathway, that proteolytic maturation takes place. A pathway that stems from the regulated one, namely the constitutive-like pathway releases proteins present in immature granules that are not destined for accumulation in mature granules. In AtT20 cells proopiomelanocortin the endogenous precursor of the accumulated adrenocorticotropic hormone, is predominantly secreted in a constitutive manner without proteolytic maturation. In order to better understand by which secretory pathway intact proopiomelanocortin is secreted by a cell line possessing a regulated secretory pathway, it was transfected with rat serum albumin (a marker of constitutive secretory proteins), and pancreatic amylase (a marker of regulated proteins). COS cells were also transfected in order to serve as control of release by the constitutive pathway. It was observed that both the basal and stimulated secretions of albumin and proopiomelanocortin from AtT20 cells are identical. In addition, secretagogue stimulation when POMC is in transit in the trans-Golgi network decreases its constitutive secretion by 50%. It was also observed using cell fractionation and 20 degrees C secretion blocks that albumin and proopiomelanocortin are present in the regulated pathway, presumably in the immature granules, and are secreted by the constitutive-like secretory pathway. These observations show that stimulation can increase sorting into the regulated pathway, and confirm the importance of the constitutive-like secretory pathway in the model AtT20 cell line. 相似文献
