Lucifer Yellow CH (LY) is an excellent probe for fluid-phase pinocytosis. It accumulates within the macrophage vacuolar system, is not degraded, and is not toxic at concentrations of 6.0 mg/ml. Its uptake is inhibited at 0 degree C. Thioglycollate-elicited mouse peritoneal macrophages were found to exhibit curvilinear uptake kinetics of LY. Upon addition of LY to the medium, there was a brief period of very rapid cellular accumulation of the dye (1,400 ng of LY/mg protein per h at 1 mg/ml LY). This rate of accumulation most closely approximates the rate of fluid influx by pinocytosis. Within 60 min, the rate of LY accumulation slowed to a steady-state rate of 250 ng/mg protein per h which then continued for up to 18 h. Pulse-chase experiments revealed that the reduced rate of accumulation under steady-state conditions was due to efflux of LY. Only 20% of LY taken into the cells was retained; the remainder was released back into the medium. Efflux has two components, rapid and slow; each can be characterized kinetically as a first-order reaction. The kinetics are similar to those described by Besterman et al. (Besterman, J. M., J. A. Airhart, R. C. Woodworth, and R. B. Low, 1981, J. Cell Biol. 91:716-727) who interpret fluid-phase pinocytosis as involving at least two compartments, one small, rapidly turning over compartment and another apparently larger one which fills and empties slowly. To search for processes that control intracellular fluid traffic, we studied pinocytosis after treatment of macrophages with horseradish peroxidase (HRP) or with the tumor promoter phorbol myristate acetate (PMA). HRP, often used as a marker for fluid-phase pinocytosis, was observed to stimulate the rate of LY accumulation in macrophages. PMA caused an immediate four- to sevenfold increase in the rate of LY accumulation. Both HRP and PMA increased LY accumulation by stimulating influx and reducing the percentage of internalized fluid that is rapidly recycled. A greater proportion of endocytosed fluid passes into the slowly emptying compartment (presumed lysosomes). These experiments demonstrate that because of the considerable efflux by cells, measurement of marker accumulation inaccurately estimates the rate of fluid pinocytosis. Moreover, pinocytic flow of water and solutes through cytoplasm is subject to regulation at points beyond the formation of pinosomes. 相似文献

The fluorescent dye Lucifer Yellow (LY) is a well-known and widely-used marker for fluid-phase endocytosis. In this paper, both light and electron microscopy revealed that LY was internalized into transition zone cells of the inner cortex of intact maize root apices. The internalized LY was localized within tubulo-vesicular compartments invaginating from the plasma membrane at actomyosin-enriched pit-fields and individual plasmodesmata, as well as within adjacent small peripheral vacuoles. The internalization of LY was blocked by pretreating the roots with the F-actin depolymerizing drug latrunculin B, but not with the F-actin stabilizer jasplakinolide. F-actin enriched plasmodesmata and pit-fields of the inner cortex also contain abundant plant-specific unconventional class VIII myosin(s). In addition, 2,3 butanedione monoxime, a general inhibitor of myosin ATPases, partially inhibited the uptake of LY into cells of the inner cortex. Conversely, loss of microtubules did not inhibit fluid-phase endocytosis of LY into these cells. In conclusion, specialized actin- and myosin VIII-enriched membrane domains perform a tissue-specific form of fluid-phase endocytosis in maize root apices. The possible physiological relevance of this process is discussed. 相似文献

The highly fluorescent dye Lucifer Yellow CH (LYCH), now in common use in microinjection studies, has been shown to enter the vacuole of a range of plant-cell protoplasts from the external medium. Uptake was quantified by lysing the protoplasts following incubation and determining the amount of LYCH incorporated by spectrofluorimetry. Uptake was biphasic with respect to both time and substrate concentration, enhanced at low pH and inhibited by low temperature and metabolic inhibitors. The kinetics of uptake showed several similarities with those reported for the fluid-phase endocytosis of LYCH in animal cells and yeast cells. A calculated membrane permeability coefficient for LYCH, based on the observed rates of uptake, was too high to be consistent with simple diffusion of the undissociated form of the molecule and inconsistent with the membrane-impermeant properties of the dye. The data are discussed in the light of the possibility of fluid-phase endocytosis versus active transmembrane transport.Abbreviations CCCP

Loading process of sugars into cabbage petiole and asparagus shoot apex cells by incubation with hypertonic sugar solutions 总被引:1,自引:0,他引:1
Summary The freezing tolerance of cabbage petioles and asparagus shoot apexes was increased by preincubation with 0.8 M sugar solutions. In cabbage petioles with an initial freezing tolerance of –3 °C (temperature for 50% cell survival), as determined by both electrolyte leakage and fluorescein diacetate vital staining, the freezing tolerance was increased to –13 °C by incubation with sorbitol solutions for 3 h. In meristematic cells of asparagus shoot apexes with an initial freezing tolerance of –7.5 °C, as determined by fluorescein diacetate vital staining, the freezing tolerance was increased to –30 °C by incubation with 0.8 M sugar solutions for 3 h, although other cells in the shoot apexes were killed by higher freezing temperatures. During incubation of both cabbage petioles and asparagus shoot apexes with sugar solutions, sugars were intracellularly taken up by osmotically induced fluid-phase endocytotic vesicles, as indicated by comovement of Lucifer Yellows carbohydrazide (LYCH) observed with a confocal laser scanning microscope. The amounts of intracellularly taken up sugars increased concomitantly with the formation of endocytotic vesicles depending on the time of incubation in parallel with a gradual increase of freezing tolerance. However, the endocytotic vesicles and their contents were retained not only after prolonged incubation after maximum freezing tolerance had been achieved but also after recovery of these tissue cells to isotonic conditions or after freeze-thawing. These results suggest that although sugars are intracellularly taken up by endocytotic vesicles, they might be sequestered within vesicles, casting doubt on their protective role to the plasma membranes as a main site of freezing injury. The pretreatment with 1 mMp-chloromercuribenzenesulfonic acid (PCMBS), an inhibitor of sugar transport, reduced the amounts of intracellular sugar uptake without affecting the formation of endocytotic vesicles, suggesting that sugars were, at least partly, taken up by sugar transporters. In the pretreatment with PCMBS, the freezing tolerance of incubated tissues with sugar solutions was significantly reduced, although addition of PCMBS per se did not affect survival. These results suggest that sugars taken up by sugar transporters, rather than sugars taken up by endocytotic vesicles, are mainly responsible for the increased freezing tolerance of cabbage petioles and asparagus shoot apexes. Furthermore, we aimed to study the occurrence of fluid-phase endocytosis with LYCH in an isotonic condition. Our results indicated that uptake of LYCH by fluid-phase endocytotic vesicles was not detected microscopically in isotonic condition, although LYCH was spectrofluorimetrically taken up in isotonic condition. Spectrofluorimetric uptake of LYCH was inhibited by addition of probenecid, an anion transport inhibitor. These results suggest that in cabbage petioles and asparagus shoot apexes, LYCH is taken up by anion transport but not by fluid-phase endocytosis in isotonic condition, and uptake of LYCH by fluid-phase endocytosis is restricted to occur only in hypertonic condition.Abbreviations CLSM

ObjectiveHighly elevated plasma levels of interleukin-10 (IL-10) are causally associated with “Disappearing HDL Syndrome” and low plasma LDL-cholesterol, but the underlying mechanism is poorly understood. Fluid-phase endocytosis, a process highly dependent on actin dynamics, enables cells to internalize relatively high amounts of extracellular fluids and solutes. We sought to investigate whether IL-10 induces lipoprotein uptake by fluid-phase endocytosis in macrophages.Methods and resultsMacrophages (RAW264.7, Kupffer and human) were incubated with vehicle (PBS) or IL-10 (20 ng/ml) for 7 days. Uptake of HDL, LDL, and/or fluid-phase endocytosis probes (albumin-Alexa680®, 70 kDa FITC-Dextran and Lucifer Yellow, LY) was evaluated by FACS. Intracellular cofilin and phosphorylated cofilin (p-cofilin) levels were determined by immunoblotting.Macrophage uptake of lipoproteins and probes was non-saturable and increased after IL-10 incubation (p < 0.0001). Furthermore, pre-incubation with fluid-phase endocytosis inhibitors (LY294002, Latrunculin A, and Amiloride) significantly reduced uptake (p < 0.05). IL-10 increased the cofilin/p-cofilin ratio (p = 0.021), signifying increased cofilin activation and hence filamentous actin. Consistently, phalloidin staining revealed increased filamentous actin in macrophages after IL-10 treatment (p = 0.0018). Finally, RNA-seq analysis demonstrated enrichment of gene sets related to actin filament dynamics, membrane ruffle formation and endocytosis in IL-10-treated macrophages (p < 0.05). IL-10 did not alter mRNA levels of Ldlr, Vldlr, Scarb1, Cd36 or Lrp1. In primary human monocyte-derived macrophages and murine Kupffer cells, IL-10 incubation also increased uptake of lipoproteins, albumin and LY (p < 0.01).ConclusionsInterleukin-10 induces the uptake of HDL and LDL by fluid-phase endocytosis by increasing actin-filament rearrangement in macrophages, thus providing a plausible mechanism contributing to “Disappearing HDL Syndrome”. 相似文献

The role of sphingolipids in clathrin-mediated endocytosis is only poorly understood in mammalian cells. Thus the relationship between sphingolipid de novo synthesis and clathrin-mediated endocytosis of transferrin were studied in L929 fibroblasts and two other cell lines. Endocytosis was measured using live cell imaging with fluorescent transferrin or (125)I-transferrin. Lipids were primarily measured using electrospray ionization tandem mass spectrometry. At physiological temperature, transferrin uptake was significantly decreased by the inhibitor of serine palmitoyl transferase myriocin. Myriocin inhibited also the uptake of low-density lipoproteins. The endocytosis inhibition by myriocin could be released by the addition of sphingoid base and by the protein phosphorylation effectors phorbol-12-myristate, 13-acetate (PMA) and okadaic acid. Myriocin influenced not only sphingolipids but also the glycerophospholipid profile. The study of phosphatidylcholine species shows adaptations to more saturated, alkylated and longer fatty acid moieties. The reported results imply that in mammalian cells, at 37°C, sphingolipid de novo synthesis is required for clathrin-mediated endocytosis. 相似文献

Intact barley (Hordeum vulgare L.) roots have been shown to take up the highly fluorescent dye Lucifer Yellow CH (LYCH) into their cell vacuoles. In the apical 1 cm of root tip, differentiating and dividing cells showed a prolific uptake of LYCH into their provacuoles. The LYCH was retained during fixation, apparently becoming bound to electron-dense material in the vacuoles. The dye freely entered the apoplast of roots in which the Casparian band was not developed, being taken up into the vacuoles of cells in both the cortex and stele. However, when LYCH was applied to a 1-cm zone approx. 6 cm behind the root tip the Casparian band on the radial walls of the endodermis completely prevented the dye from entering the cells of the stele, only the cell walls and vacuoles of the cortical cells taking up the dye. The inability of LYCH to cross the plasmalemma of the endodermal cells and enter the stele via the symplast substantiates previous claims that the dye is unable to cross the plasmalemma of plant cells. The results are discussed in the light of recent demonstrations that LYCH is a particularly effective marker for fluid-phase endocytosis in animal and yeast cells. A calculation of the energetic requirements for LYCH uptake into barley roots supports the contention that LYCH is taken up into the vacuoles of plant cells by fluid-phase endocytosis.Abbreviation LYCH

The kinetics of the uptake of the fluid phase marker Lucifer Yellow (LY), and its alteration by wortmannin, an inhibitor of phosphatidylinositol-3 kinase (PI-3K), and the PKC modulators: GF 109203 X, an inhibitor, and phorbol ester, an activator was studied in eukaryotic model Paramecium aurelia. Spectrophotometric quantification of LY accumulation was performed in the presence or absence of transferrin, a marker of receptor-mediated endocytosis. Internalization of LY showed a curvilinear kinetics: the high initial rate of LY uptake (575 ng LY/mg protein/hr) decreased almost 5-fold within 15 min, reaching plateau at 126 ng/mg protein/hr. Transferrin induced a small increase (7.5%) in the fluid phase uptake rate (after 5 min) followed by a small decrease at longer incubation times. Lucifer Yellow and transferrin (visualized by streptavidin-FITC) were localized in Paramecium by 3-D reconstruction by confocal microscopy. LY showed a scattered, diffuse fluorescence typical of fluid phase uptake whereas transferrin accumulated in membrane-surrounded endosomes. Wortmannin did not affect LY accumulation but decreased it when transferrin was present in the incubation medium. This suggests an effect on the transferrin uptake pathway, presumably on the stage of internalization in "mixing" endosomes to which transferrin and LY were targeted. Phorbol ester diminished LY accumulation by 22% and this effect persisted up to 25 min of incubation. PKC inhibitor did not affect LY uptake. However, in the presence of transferrin, the LY uptake increased within the first 15 minutes followed by a rapid 20% decrease in comparison to the control. Such an effect of PKC modulators suggests that PMA action on fluid phase uptake is not directly mediated by PKC. 相似文献

The mechanism via which diacylglycerol-sensitive protein kinase Cs (PKCs) stimulate glucose transport in insulin-sensitive tissues is poorly defined. Phorbol esters, such as phorbol-12-myristate-13-acetate (PMA), are potent activators of conventional and novel PKCs. Addition of PMA increases the rate of glucose uptake in many different cell systems. We attempted to investigate the mechanism via which PMA stimulates glucose transport in 3T3-L1 adipocytes in more detail. We observed a good correlation between the rate of disappearance of PKCbetaII during prolonged PMA treatment and the increase in glucose uptake. Moreover, inhibition of PKCbetaII with a specific myristoylated PKCbetaC2-4 peptide inhibitor significantly increased the rate of glucose transport. Western blot analysis demonstrated that both PMA treatment and incubation with the myristoylated PKCbetaC2-4 pseudosubstrate resulted in more glucose transporter (GLUT)-1 but not GLUT-4 at the plasma membrane. To our knowledge, we are the first to demonstrate that inactivation of PKC, most likely PKCbetaII, elevates glucose uptake in 3T3-L1 adipocytes. The observation that PKCbetaII influences the rate of glucose uptake through manipulation of GLUT-1 expression levels at the plasma membrane might reveal a yet unidentified regulatory mechanism involved in glucose homeostasis. 相似文献

In the presence of 1-(5-isoquinolinesulfonyl)-2-methylpiperazine (H-7), a potent inhibitor of protein kinase C in vitro, phorbol-12-myristate-13-acetate (PMA) did not suppress the thrombin-induced increase of cytosolic Ca2+ concentration in human platelets. The H-7 reversal of the inhibitory action of PMA was also observed in thrombin-induced polyphosphoinositide breakdown by phospholipase C. These results provide additional support to the developing theory that the inhibition of PMA on Ca2+ mobilization and phosphoinositide turnover may be mediated by protein kinase C activation. 相似文献

Potocytosis is an endocytic pathway that utilizes glycosylphosphatidylinositol-anchored membrane proteins and caveolae to concentrate and internalize small molecules. We now report that activators of protein kinase C are potent inhibitors of potocytosis. Activators such as phorbol-12-myristate-13-acetate (PMA) inhibit the internalization of receptors for 5-methyltetrahydrofolate but allow the internal receptor pool to return to the cell surface. PMA does not affect the clustering of the folate receptor but instead markedly reduces the number of caveolae. Exposure to PMA totally blocks the intracellular accumulation of 5-methyltetrahydrofolate without affecting receptor-independent uptake or the formation of polyglutamylated species of 5-methyltetrahydrofolate in the cytoplasm. These data suggest that PMA inhibits uptake by inactivating caveolae internalization. 相似文献

The hypothesis that protein kinase C may be an important regulator of ovarian theca-interstitial cell steroidogenesis was tested by using phorbol-12-myristate-13-acetate (PMA) and phorbol-12, 13-dibutyrate (PDB) to directly stimulate protein kinase C activity. Collagenase-dispersed cells (4 x 10(5) viable cells/dish) form ovaries of hypophysectomized immature rats were cultured in serum-free medium in the presence and absence of 0-100 ng/ml of luteinizing hormone (LH), PMA (0-100 nM), and/or PDB (0-100 nM). Treatment with 100 ng/ml LH stimulated androsterone production 100-fold at Day 4 of culture. The presence of 100 nM PMA or PDB had no effect on basal androsterone production; however, treatment with increasing concentrations of PMA or PDB (0-100 nM) caused a dose-related inhibition (maximum 70%) of LH-stimulated androsterone synthesis (ID50 = 1.8 nM and 2.4 nM, respectively). PMA and PDB did not significantly alter DNA, protein, or cell viability, indicating that their inhibitory effects were not due to changes in cell number or viability. Cells treated with LH and 100 nM 4 alpha-phorbol didecanoate (4 alpha-PDD; a phorbol ester that does not activate protein kinase C) failed to show significant decreases in androsterone production. Time-course studies revealed that when PMA treatment was delayed until Day 2 or 4 of culture, dramatic inhibitory effects on LH-stimulated androsterone production were still observed. These results suggest that the biological activity of protein kinase C is retained after the cells have expressed their differentiated state.(ABSTRACT TRUNCATED AT 250 WORDS) 相似文献

Poly ADP-ribosylation of histones in tumor promoter phorbol-12-myristate-13-acetate treated mouse embryo fibroblasts C3H10T1/2 总被引:2,自引:0,他引:2
The tumor promoter phorbol-12-myristate-13-acetate (PMA) increases the poly ADP-ribosylation of acid extractable (0.2N H2SO4) nuclear proteins in mouse embryo fibroblasts C3H10T1/2. Catalase suppresses the reaction by approximately 50%. Polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis reveals that the core histones H2B, A24 and H3d serve as major poly ADP-ribose acceptors. Smaller amounts of poly ADP-ribose are associated with histones H2A/H3 and H1. Poly ADP-ribosylation of histones may change the nucleosomal structure and function and play a role in PMA induced modulation of gene expression in promotion. 相似文献

Artichoke leaf extract was studied in human leukocytes for activity against oxidative stress using flow cytometry and dichlorofluorescin diacetate as a fluorescence probe. It produces a concentration-dependent inhibition of oxidative stress when cells are stimulated with agents that generate reactive oxygen species (ROS): hydrogen peroxide, phorbol-12-myristate-13-acetate (PMA), and N-formyl-methionyl-leucyl-phenylalanine (FMLP). Cynarin, caffeic acid, chlorogenic acid, and luteolin, constituents of artichoke leaf extract, also show a concentration-dependent inhibitory activity in the above models, contributing to the antioxidant activity of the extract in human neutrophils. 相似文献

The K+/H+ antiporter nigericin inhibits the intercellular exchange of the fluorescent dye Lucifer Yellow between DM15-transformed fibroblasts derived from the Djungarian hamster. The efficacy of nigericin action was related to its concentration and time of incubation. The nigericin-induced uncoupling effect on gap junctions was reversible and was shown to be based on its ability to cause cystolic acidification. The effect of nigericin on dye-coupling in intact and 12-O-tetradecanoyl-phorbol-13-acetate (TPA) pretreated cells did not differ, indicating that the uncoupling effect of H+ on gap junctions in DM15 cells was not mediated by the TPA-dependent isoform of protein kinase C.Abbreviations: BCECF,

Saccharomyces cerevisiae was inoculated into a dilute synthetic minimal medium with glycerol as the carbon source. The number of live cells in the cultures was determined by colony counts on agar plates. Untreated control cells had doubled in number about once at the end of the first week and had gone through eight doublings by the end of the second week. Addition of either 8-bromo-cyclic guanosine monophosphate (8-bromo-cGMP) or human recombinant insulin, made the cells go through 12 and 10 doublings, respectively, by the end of the first week. In contrast, 8-bromo-cyclic adenosine monophosphate (8-bromo-cAMP) had only slight stimulating effects on cell multiplication, but if it was combined with phorbol-12-myristate-13-acetate (PMA) the cells went through about 12 doublings during the first week. Addition of LY 83583, an inhibitor of soluble guanylate cyclase, prevented cell proliferation. Further addition of 8-bromo-cGMP bypassed this inhibition. Singly, bradykinin or PMA did not affect cell multiplication. However, when these two compounds were combined, the cells went through about 10 doublings during the first week. Neither bradykinin, nor PMA had any releasing effect on the inhibition of LY 83583. These results indicate the existence of several routes leading to cell proliferation in wildtype S. cerevisiae cells. 相似文献

Human lymphotoxin (LT)-producing T-cell hybridomas were constructed by fusing concanavalin A-activated human peripheral blood lymphocytes with emetine-actinomycin D-pretreated human acute lymphatic leukemia cells. LT secretion from these hybridomas was considerably enhanced by stimulation with phorbol-12-myristate-13-acetate (PMA) and concanavalin A or PMA alone. A study using cloned hybrid lines revealed that PMA/Con A acted directly on the LT-producing clones. Furthermore, PMA/Con A stimulated A-B9-24, one of the cloned hybridomas, and secreted fourfold larger amounts of LT under serum-free conditions than under serum-containing conditions. However, MIF/MAF and LT-producing cloned hybrid line E10-20 secreted rather decreased amounts of MIF/MAF when stimulated with PMA, while the LT secretion from the same hybridoma was enhanced with PMA. 相似文献

During postnatal development, UDP-Gal: GlcNAc(beta 1-4)-galactosyltransferase (4 beta-GT) and UDP-Gal:GalNAc(beta 1-3)-galactosyltransferase (3 beta-GT) activities were increased by 17- and 24-fold, respectively, in the rat small intestine. The injection of cortisone into suckling rats resulted in precocious induction of distal 4 beta- and 3 beta-GT activities by 2.7- and 1.8-fold, respectively. Injection of phorbol-12-myristate-13-acetate (PMA) resulted in precocious induction of distal 3 beta-GT by 2.7-fold. These results suggest that intestinal galactosyltransferase activities are under developmental regulation and can be modified by cortisone and PMA. 相似文献

The ability of isolated rat hepatocytes to respond to phorbol-12-myristate-13-acetate (PMA) with acute stimulation of de novo fatty acid synthesis was markedly depressed at 4, 22 and 48 h after partial hepatectomy (PH). This desensitization was not due to surgical stress as shown by comparison with hepatocytes from sham-operated animals. Moreover, the total activity of protein kinase C (PK-C), the principal phorbol ester receptor, was not down-regulated at 22 h after partial hepatectomy. Partial hepatectomy rather caused a small but distinct shift in subcellular PK-C distribution toward the particulate fraction thereby suggesting a modest activation of PK-C. We conclude that the PH-induced desensitization to PMA occurs at a point beyond PK-C activation. 相似文献

In mouse MSV-3T3 cells the synthesis of the urokinase form of plasminogen activator was increased 10-fold after addition of the tumor promoter phorbol-12-myristate-13-acetate (PMA). PMA also stimulated the secretion of the protein into the culture medium, mostly in the form of enzymatically inactive pro-urokinase. When assayed by injecting RNA into Xenopus laevis oocytes, the concentration of functional urokinase mRNA was found to be 6- to 10-fold higher in the PMA-treated cells; a similar increase in urokinase mRNA content was measured by hybridisation with a mouse urokinase cDNA probe. Thus, the induction of plasminogen activator by PMA in MSV-3T3 cells is accounted for by an increased content of urokinase mRNA. 相似文献
