Interaction between phloretin and the red blood cell membrane

Phloretin binding to red blood cell components has been characterized at pH6, where binding and inhibitory potency are maximal. Binding to intact red cells and to purified hemoglobin are nonsaturated processes approximately equal in magnitude, which strongly suggests that most of the red cell binding may be ascribed to hemoglobin. This conclusion is supported by the fact that homoglobin-free red cell ghosts can bind only 10% as much phloretin as an equivalent number of red cells. The permeability of the red cell membrane to phloretin has been determined by a direct measurement at the time-course of the phloretin uptake. At a 2% hematocrit, the half time for phloretin uptake is 8.7s, corresponding to a permeability coefficient of 2 x 10(-4) cm/s. The concentration dependence of the binding to ghosts reveals two saturable components. Phloretin binds with high affinity (K diss = 1.5 muM) to about 2.5 x 10(6) sites per cell; it also binds with lower affinity (Kdiss = 54 muM) to a second (5.5 x 10(7) per cell) set of sites. In sonicated total lipid extracts of red cell ghosts, phloretin binding consists of a single, saturable component. Its affinity and total number of sites are not significantly different from those of the low affinity binding process in ghosts. No high affinity binding of phloretin is exhibited by the red cell lipid extracts. Therefore, the high affinity phloretin binding sites are related to membrane proteins, and the low affinity sites result from phloretin binding to lipid. The identification of these two types of binding sites allows phloretin effects on protein-mediated transport processes to be distinguished from effects on the lipid region of the membrane.     

Binding of oxytocin to uterine cells in vitro. Occurrence of several binding site populations and reidentification of oxytocin receptors

Myometrial and endometrial cells of sheep, rat, and calf in monolayer cell culture display at least three populations of binding sites for oxytocin, with dissociation constants (Kd) of approximately 5 X 10(-9), 4 X 10(-7), and greater than 10(-5) mol/liter, respectively. Binding of the tritium-labeled oxytocin (concentration range, 10(-11) to 5 X 10(-4) M) to the first two sites is displaceable by cold oxytocin. The ratio of binding capacities of the high to medium affinity site appears to average 1:18. Dissociation rate constants for these sites (22 degrees C) are roughly 10(-4) and 2 X 10(-3) s-1, respectively. The capacity of the low affinity site varies in individual cell preparations and is between 5 and 66 times that of the medium affinity site. The low affinity binding sites may not be fully saturable and may follow a nonasymptotic binding isotherm. Logarithms of Kd and binding capacity for individual binding sites are linearly correlated. The coexistence of the three sites was also proven by cluster analysis based on similarities between Kd, binding capacity, and Hill coefficient. Only minor systematic species and cell type differences occur in these properties. The value of Kd for the oxytocin receptor in rat myometrium, derived recently from a stepwise irreversible inhibition of uterotonic response to oxytocin, is close to 2.5 X 10(-7) mol/liter. Additional pharmacological data (pA2 values of structural analogues of oxytocin acting as competitive inhibitors) also reveal a Kd value of 3 X 10(-7). It is, therefore, concluded that the receptors for oxytocin in rat myometrium are identical with the medium affinity site.     

Influence of steroids and retinoic acid on peanut-lectin binding of human breast cancer cells

Membrane binding sites for peanut lectin or peanut agglutinin (PNA) were investigated in the established mammary carcinoma cell lines MCF-7, 734-B, ZR-75.1 and BT-20. The determination of PNA binding sites was performed in a flow cytometer after staining with fluorescein(FITC)-labeled PNA. It appeared that only the estrogen-sensitive cell lines exhibited PNA binding sites, whereas the hormone-insensitive cell line BT-20 was clearly negative. Steroid hormones, when administered singly to the cells in physiological concentrations (10(-9)-10(-8) M) had no effect on PNA binding expression. Only the combination of estradiol and progesterone together increased PNA binding sites. Pharmacological doses (10(-6) M) of medroxyprogesteroneacetate (MPA) and dexamethasone increased the number of binding sites, whereas retinoic acid decreased them. A preliminary characterization of the binding sites revealed that they have high capacity and moderate affinity for PNA (KD greater than 10(-7) M). FITC-PNA binding could be inhibited selectively by fetuin (greater than 10(-5) M) and by galactose (greater than 10(-2) M). Cytosol from MCF-7 cells and from some primary breast cancer specimens were able to decrease PNA binding to the surface of 734-B cells.

Binding features of BCL2-targeted oligodeoxynucleotides with K562 cells

Delivery of various oligodeoxynucleotides into cells is mediated by binding to certain surface proteins followed by receptor-mediated endocytosis. Moreover, oligonucleotides are able to provoke perturbation of cell surface proteins and growth factor receptors among them. Here we described binding sense BCL2 oligodeoxynucleotide targeted to translation start of BCL2 mRNA (ODN) with K562 cells. At low concentration ODN bound efficiently with K562 and penetrated into the cells via binding cell surface with rather high affinity and priming new binding sites. The loose binding constant at 4 degrees C was 1.8 x 10(9) M(-1) both for binding ODN in solution and ODN-associated liposome. The number of loose binding sites under both treatments was rather high: 4.6 to 6.6 pmoles per 10(6) cells. The extent of ODN penetration into the cells showed higher potential site numbers than initially seen and reached 8.6 pmoles per 10(6) cells for four hours incubation at 37 degrees C.     

Classification and localization of hemoglobin binding sites on the red blood cell membrane.

The binding of hemoglobin to the red cell membrane was characterized over a wide range of free hemoglobin concentrations by measurement of membrane bound and supernatant hemoglobin. Scatchard analysis of the binding data revealed two classes of sites: high affinity sites with a binding constant of 1 X 10(8) M-1 and 1.2 X 10(6) sites per cell, and a second, low affinity class of sites with a binding constant of 6 X 10(6)M-1 and 6 X 10(6) sites per cell. The low affinity sites are shown to be nonspecific and appear to be a result of the ghost preparation. The high affinity sites are shown to be specific to the inner surface of the red cell membrane. The competition of hemoglobin and glyceraldehyde-3-phosphate dehydrogenase suggests band III proteins as a potential binding site for hemoglobin.     

Evidence for the existence of two types of cAMP binding sites in aggregating cells of Dictyostelium discoideum.

Inhibition by dithiothreitol of the cell-bound phosphodiesterase has allowed the measurement of cAMP binding to aggregation-competent Dictyostelium discoidium amebae. Two classes of binding sites were demonstrated: Type 1, of low affinity (Kd approximately 160 nM) and high capacity (Ro approximately 1 X 10(5) sites per cell); and Type 2, of high affinity (Kd approximately 9 nM) but low capacity (Ro approximately 1.5 X 10(4) sites per cell). Both sites are developmentally regulated and are expressed during aggregation. The specificities of both sites are consistent with the specificity observed in vivo for the chemotactic response.     

Specific binding of [3H]heparin to human carcinoma SW-13 and other mammalian cells

This study reports on the specific binding of [3H]heparin to human adrenocortical carcinoma cell line SW-13. Heparin binding to SW-13 cells is specific, saturable, and time- and temperature-dependent with maximum binding occurring between 90 and 120 min at 22 degrees C. Scatchard analysis revealed two classes of binding sites. The apparent Kd for high-affinity receptors is 2.14 x 10(-8) M with 1.48 x 10(6) sites per cells. Six other tested mammalian cell lines also have specific binding sites for heparin.     

Characterization and affinity crosslinking of receptors for tumor necrosis factor on human cells

Receptors for tumor necrosis factor (TNF) were characterized in the U-937 human histiocytic lymphoma cell line with the aid of highly purified recombinant human TNF, radiolabeled with 125I. Saturation binding to specific cell surface receptors occurred with less than 15% nonspecific binding. Analysis of the equilibrium binding data obtained at 4 degrees C revealed a single class of noninteracting binding sites. The mean number of binding sites per cell was calculated to be 12,000, and the apparent dissociation constant (Kd) was 2 X 10(-10) M. Crosslinking of 125I-TNF to the cell surface receptor with disuccinimidyl suberate, followed by NaDodSO4-polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis of the cell lysate, revealed a TNF-receptor complex with a molecular weight of approximately 100,000. Binding to concanavalin A-Sepharose suggested that the TNF receptor is a glycoprotein.     

Activation of human neutrophils increases thrombospondin receptor expression.

Thrombospondin (TSP), a 450-kDa extracellular matrix protein secreted by platelets may be instrumental in triggering polymorphonuclear leukocyte (PMN) activation and mediating PMN-endothelial cell interactions. TSP alone had no effect on O-2 generation but caused a significant increase in the chemoattractant FMLP-mediated O-2 generation. Purified HBD, but not the 140-kDa COOH-terminal fragment of TSP, retained the priming activity indicating that the priming effect was mediated through the HBD of TSP. The priming of FMLP-mediated O-2 generation by TSP, and our recent studies demonstrating that TSP stimulates PMN adhesion and motility suggested the presence of specific receptors for TSP on PMN. Binding studies on unactivated PMN, using 125I-TSP and competition with excess unlabeled TSP, demonstrated 2.4 x 10(3) binding sites/cell with an apparent Kd of 7 nM. Heparin did not compete for binding as effectively as unlabeled TSP. There were 1.5 x 10(3) heparin-inhibitable binding sites/cell with an apparent Kd of 8 nM that represented approximately 60% of the TSP-specific sites. Therefore, two distinct TSP receptors appeared to exist on unactivated PMN; one interacting with the heparin-binding domain of TSP and one interacting with a different site. Treating PMN with cytochalasin B followed by FMLP caused a 30-fold increase in TSP receptor expression. Binding studies on activated PMNs revealed 7.6 x 10(4) sites/cell; 60% of which were heparin inhibitable. The majority (5.3 x 10(4) sites/cell) of receptors expressed had an affinity of approximately 20 nM. About 50% of these sites were heparin inhibitable. In addition, there were 2.3 x 10(4) higher affinity sites/cell with an apparent Kd of 6 nM. Heparin-inhibitable sites comprised 70% of the higher affinity sites. The existence of a subset of TSP receptors that were heparin-inhibitable on PMN suggests that binding of TSP may trigger functionally independent responses. Increased receptor expression and expression of two high affinity binding sites following PMN activation may modulate PMN-endothelium or PMN-basement membrane interactions localized at the blood vessel wall.     

Identification of common and specific growth factor binding sites in heparan sulfate proteoglycans

The structural complexity within heparan sulfate has suggested that it contains multiple protein-specific binding sites. To evaluate the selectivity of growth factor binding to heparan sulfate, we conducted a detailed study of the intercompetition of fibroblast growth factor-2 (FGF-2) and heparin-binding epidermal growth factor-like growth factor (HB-EGF) binding to heparan sulfate (HS) on bovine aortic smooth muscle cells. Radioligand binding assays were conducted, and an analytical method was developed for determining the apparent binding constants and numbers of specific and shared binding sites within HS. These studies revealed the presence of two general classes of HS-binding sites for FGF-2 and HB-EGF. The major class (approximately 10(6) sites per cell) was able to bind to either growth factor with relatively low affinity (K(d) = 12 and 44 nM for FGF-2 and HB-EGF, respectively) and was termed "common" binding sites. However, both FGF-2 and HB-EGF also showed specific high affinity (0.6 and 6.1 nM for FGF-2 and HB-EGF, respectively) binding to a minor subset (118,000 and 28,000 sites per cell for FGF-2 and HB-EGF, respectively) of "unique" binding sites, which were unable to bind the other growth factor. These studies indicate that growth factor binding to HS involves multiple binding sites of variable affinity, density, and selectivity. The approach outlined in this study could be applied to aid in the evaluation of the relative biological roles of these selective and nonselective growth factor binding domains within HS.     

Binding of coagulation factors IX and X to the endothelial cell surface

Bovine coagulation factors IX and X bind to independent sites on bovine aortic endothelial cells. Binding studies with cells maintained serum-free showed that there are at least two classes of binding sites for factor IX and factor X with a dissociation constant of 4.9 x 10(-9) M and 2.1 x 10(-8) M for the respective high affinity sites. Ca+2 was required for specific binding and was reversed by addition of EDTA or EGTA. Competition experiments showed that factor IX and factor IXa bind to the same sites, which are different from the factor X binding sites. Neither binding of factor IX or factor X is inhibited by addition of prothrombin or protein C. Indirect immunofluorescence of factor IX indicated that binding was diffuse on the cell surface.     

Binding and structural properties of oxytocin receptors in isolated rat epididymal adipocytes

Oxytocin initiates its insulin-like action in adipocytes through oxytocin-specific receptors. We have studied binding and structural properties of these receptors with the radioligand [3H]oxytocin. Steady-state binding was reached after 45 min, at 21 degrees C, and 10 min at 37 degrees C. Scatchard analyses of equilibrium binding data indicated a single class of oxytocin binding sites at 21 degrees C (KD = 3.3 nM, RT = 6 X 10(4) sites/cell) and 2 binding sites at 37 degrees C (KD = 1.5 nM, RT = 6 X 10(4) sites/cell; and KD = 20 nM, RT = 30 X 10(4) sites/cell). Insulin, insulin-like growth factor I, and epidermal growth factor increased oxytocin binding (approximately 20-40%), whereas adenosine, a regulator of oxytocin action, did not affect oxytocin binding. Binding activity of oxytocin was impaired by pretreatment of the hormone or adipocytes with dithiothreitol. Dithiothreitol treatment of adipocytes preferentially inactivated high-affinity binding sites. N-ethyl maleimide inhibited oxytocin binding in adipocytes more than dithiothreitol. In contrast to the inhibitory effects of dithiothreitol and N-ethyl maleimide, proteases (trypsin, chymotrypsin and papain) were not able to inhibit fat cell binding activity. These results suggested that in isolated adipocytes: there are high-affinity and low-affinity receptors, but the low-affinity receptors are absent at 21 degrees C; the binding of oxytocin can be regulated by insulin, and growth factors; and the oxytocin receptors contain disulfide bridges and free thiols that are essential for the maintenance of oxytocin binding.     

Endocytosis of sulphated proteoglycans by cultured skin fibroblasts.

1. Human skin fibroblasts internalize homologous sulphated proteoglycans by adsorptive endocytosis. Endocytosis rate is half maximal when the concentration of the proteoglycans is 0.1 nM. At saturation, a single fibroblast may endocytose up to 8 X 10(6) proteoglycan molecules/h. 2. The kinetics of prote;glycan binding to the cell surface suggest the presence of 6 X 10(5) high-affinity binding sites per cell. The bulk of sulphated proteoglycans associates to low-affinity binding sites on the cell surface. 3. Glycosaminoglycans and other anionic macromolecules inhibit endocytosis of sulphated proteoglycans non-competitively. The lack of interaction of glycosaminoglycans with the cell-surface receptors for sulphated proteoglycans suggests that the protein core of proteoglycans is essential for binding to the cell surface. 4. The effects of trypsin, cell density, serum concentration and medium pH on endocytosis and degradation of endocytosed sulphated proteoglycans is described. 5. A comparison of the number of the high-affinity binding sites and the number of molecules endocytosed with respect to time suggests a recycling of the proteoglycan receptors between the cell surface and the endocytotic vesicles and/or the lysosomes.     

Specific endothelin binding sites in renal medullary collecting duct cells: lack of interaction with ANP binding and cGMP signalling.

The diverse biological actions of endothelins (ET) appear to be mediated by specific cell-surface receptors. Autoradiography and membrane binding studies have shown abundant ET binding sites in the kidney. However, their expression in specific types of renal cells is unclear. We studied the binding of 125I-labelled endothelin-1 in freshly isolated cell suspensions from canine inner medullary collecting duct. Competition binding experiments revealed the presence of specific high-affinity binding sites: unlabelled ET-1 and ET-2 compared with the radioligand with an IC50 of 135 and 83 pM, respectively, while the IC50 of ET-3 and big ET-1 were 2 and 4 orders of magnitude higher, indicating the presence of ETA-type receptor. Angiotensin II, vasopressin, and atrial natriuretic peptide (ANP) did not compete for ET binding even at a concentration of 10(-6) M. Saturation binding experiments showed a single class of binding sites of high density (Bmax = 56.7 +/- 10.3 fmol/10(6) cells) and high affinity (Kd = 69.8 +/- 10 pM). In contrast, ANP receptors in the same cell preparations appeared as two classes of binding sites with widely different affinity and density. The high-affinity ANP site (Kd = 311 +/- 48 pM) was compatible with ANP-B (guanylate cyclase-coupled) receptor. ET-1 did not compete for this receptor. ET-1 (10(-7) M) did not alter ANP-induced cGMP generation in these cells (3.8-fold increase at 10(-7) M ANP), nor basal levels of cGMP.(ABSTRACT TRUNCATED AT 250 WORDS)     

Binding properties of myxobacterial hemagglutinin

The nature of the receptor for myxobacterial hemagglutinin (MBHA) on the outer surface of Myxococcus xanthus was investigated by studying the binding of 125I-MBHA to vegetative and developmental cells. The amount of binding and hence the number of binding sites/cell appeared to increase 4-fold during development to 2.1 X 10(4) sites/cell. Furthermore, the apparent association constant (Ka) for MBHA increased 3-fold to 3 X 10(7) M-1. Fetuin, a glycoprotein which binds MBHA, blocked the binding of 125I-MBHA to vegetative cells but not developmental cells. Thus, the MBHA binding sites from developmental cells clearly differ from the vegetative binding sites. The Ka for MBHA binding to sheep erythrocytes (3.5 X 10(6) M-1) was an order of magnitude lower than that of developmental M. xanthus cells. The erythrocyte binding sites are also much more sensitive to concanavalin A inhibition than the M. xanthus sites.     

Ligand-induced association of epidermal growth factor receptor to the cytoskeleton of A431 cells

Recently, we have obtained evidence in favor of a structural interaction between the epidermal growth factor (EGF) receptor and the Triton X-100-insoluble cytoskeleton of epidermoid carcinoma A431 cells. Here we present a further analysis of the properties of EGF receptors attached to the cytoskeleton. Steady-state EGF binding studies, analyzed according to the Scatchard method, showed that A431 cells contain two classes of EGF-binding sites: a high-affinity site with an apparent dissociation constant (KD) of 0.7 nM (7.5 x 10(4) sites per cell) and a low-affinity site with a KD of 8.5 nM (1.9 x 10(6) sites per cell). Non-equilibrium binding studies revealed the existence of two kinetically distinguishable sites: a fast-dissociating site, with a dissociation rate constant (k-1) of 1.1 x 10(-3) s-1 (1.0-1.3 x 10(6) sites per cell) and a slow-dissociating site, with a k-1 of 3.5 x 10(-5) s-1 (0.6-0.7 x 10(6) sites per cell). The cytoskeleton of A431 cells was isolated by Triton X-100 extraction. Scatchard analysis revealed that approximately 5% of the original number of receptors were associated with the cytoskeleton predominantly via high-affinity sites (KD = 1.5 nM). This class of receptors is further characterized by the presence of a fast-dissociating component (k-1 = 2.0 x 10(-3) s-1) and a slow-dissociating component (k-1 = 9.1 x 10(-5) s-1). The distribution between fast and slow sites of the cytoskeleton was similar to that of intact cells (65% fast and 35% slow sites). Incubation of A431 cells for 2 h at 4 degrees C in the presence of EGF resulted in a dramatic increase in the number of EGF receptors associated to the cytoskeleton. These newly cytoskeleton-associated receptors appeared to represent low-affinity binding sites (KD = 7 nM). Dissociation kinetics also revealed an increase of fast-dissociating sites. These results indicate that at 4 degrees C EGF induces the binding of low-affinity, fast-dissociating sites to the cytoskeleton of A431 cells.     

Characterization of the asialoglycoprotein receptor in a continuous hepatoma line

The asialoglycoprotein receptor has been identified on a continuous human hepatoma cell line, HepG2. This receptor requires Ca2+ for ligand binding and is specific for asialoglycoprotein. There are approximately 150,000 ligand molecules bound/cell at 4 degrees C. These receptors represent a homogeneous population of high affinity binding sites with Kd = 7 X 10(-9) M. From the rate of 125I-ASOR binding at 4 degrees C, kon was 0.95 X 10(6) M-1 min-1. Uptake of 125I-ASOR at 37 degrees C was approximately 0.02 pmol/min/10(6) cells.
