The surface charge density of endothelial cells was estimated from cell electrophoresis. Cultured endothelial cells from the bovine pulmonary artery were suspended in saline and placed in the lumen of a glass capillary. A voltage was applied across the capillary ends and the velocity imparted to the cells was measured with a microscope. Erythrocyte mobility was also measured. The mobility in (micron/s)/(V/cm) was 0.74 +/- 0.08 for endothelial cells and 1.03 +/- 0.15 for erythrocytes. Charge density in esu/cm2 was calculated as 2.62 x 10(4) and 0.91 x 10(4) for endothelial and red cells, respectively. Removal of sialic acid did not affect the mobility of endothelial cells, but it reduced that of red cells to near zero. Endothelial cell mobility decreased either with ionic strength or calcium concentration. Our results strongly suggest that the surface charge of endothelial cells is dependent on sulfated glycosaminoglycans. 相似文献

Cell surface charge, assessed by the analytical electrophoresis of fresh and cryopreserved human peripheral blood lymphoctes, is changed in any perceivable manner by freezing and thawing. This was confirmed by different membrane markers (E, EA and EAC rosettes). 相似文献

Study of the posttranslational modification of methionine to its sulfoxide has been receiving increasing attention because of its implication in regulation of protein activity, but techniques for the detection of this modification remain limited. In particular, there has been no method to detect the oxidation of methionine on polyacrylamide gels. Here we demonstrate that alkylation of methionine introduces a charge change that shifts the mobility of the protein on an acidic gel relative to the alkylation-resistant sulfoxide form. 相似文献

A change in cell surface charge density during early avian development is shown with a free-flow electrophoresis apparatus. The blastoderms of freshly laid eggs consist of two electrophoretically distinct cell populations. After the onset of gastrulation a third cell population with an intermediate electrophoretic mobility appears. With increasing time of incubation there is a shift in the proportion of these populations and an increase in the mobility of the fastest fraction. 相似文献

Aggregation behavior and electrophoretic mobility of red blood cells in various mammalian species 总被引:2,自引:0,他引:2
Differences of red blood cell (RBC) aggregation among various mammalian species has been previously reported for whole blood, for RBC in autologous plasma, and for washed RBC re-suspended in polymer solutions. The latter observation implies the role of cellular factors, yet comparative studies of such factors are relatively limited. The present study thus investigated RBC aggregation and RBC electrophoretic mobility (EPM) for guinea pigs, rabbits, rats, humans and horses; RBC were re-suspended in isotonic 500 kDa dextran solutions for the EPM and aggregation measurements, with aggregation studies also done in autologous plasma. Salient results included: (1) species-specific RBC aggregation in both plasma and dextran (horse > human > rat > rabbit approximately = guinea pig) with a significant correlation between aggregation in the two media; (2) similar EPM values in PBS for rat, human and horse, a lower value for guinea pig, and a markedly reduced EPM for rabbit RBC; (3) EPM values in dextran with a rank order identical to that for cells in PBS; (4) relative EPM results indicating formation of a polymer-poor, low viscosity depletion layer at the RBC surface (greatest depletion for horse RBC). EPM-aggregation correlations were evident and generally consistent with the Depletion Model for aggregation, yet did not fully explain differences between species; additional studies at various ionic strengths and with various dextran fractions thus seem warranted. 相似文献

The net negativity of the surfaces of Ehrlich ascites cells was reduced by treating them with either neuraminidase or ribonuclease. Neither enzyme treatment affected the Na+ or K+ content of the cells, before or after cooling at 4°C. Experiments with K42 revealed a reduction (9.5 to 17%) in unidirectional K+-fluxes following incubation with neuraminidase, but no change after ribonuclease-treatment. Our data suggest that surface anionic sites associated with RNA and sialic acid moieties are not of major quantitative importance in regulating either intracellular Na+ and K+ concentrations, or unidirectional transmembrane K+-flux. Our results do not enable us to determine whether ion-binding to anionic sites at the electro-kinetic surface is not an essential prerequisite to transmembrane movement, or whether it is essential, but occurs through the 40% of cell surface net negativity which is unaffected by ribonuclease- and neuraminidase-treatment. 相似文献

ADAM12 belongs to the A disintegrin and metalloprotease (ADAM) family of secreted sheddases activating extracellular growth factors such as epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR) ligands and tumor necrosis factor-alpha (TNF-α). ADAM proteases, most notably ADAM17 (TNF-α-converting enzyme), have long been investigated as pharmaceutical drug targets; however, due to lack of potency and in vivo side effects, none of the small-molecule inhibitors discovered so far has made it beyond clinical testing. Ongoing research on novel selective inhibitors of ADAMs requires reliable biochemical assays to validate molecular probes from large-scale screening efforts. Here we describe an electrophoretic mobility shift assay for ADAM12 based on the identification of an optimized peptide substrate that is characterized by excellent performance and reproducibility. 相似文献

The interaction of cationic anesthetics with biological membranes and the resulting alterations of membrane electrokinetic properties continue to be of current interest. The present study was designed to examine the effects of procaine hydrochloride (PRHCL) on the mobility of human red blood cells (RBC); electrophoretic measurements were made on RBC suspended in phosphate-buffered saline (PBS, pH = 5.0, 7.4, or 9.2), autologous plasma or 3 g% dextran T70/PBS (pH = 7.4), with PRHCL concentrations from 8 x 10(-6) to 8 x 10(-2) M. Low concentrations of PRHCL (8 x 10(-5)-8 x 10(-3) M) significantly (p less than 0.001) increased RBC mobility, with a maximal increase of 8.2% at 8 x 10(-4) M. Conversely, a higher PRHCL concentration (8 x 10(-2) M significantly (p less than 0.001) decreased RBC mobility. Both glutaraldehyde fixation and lipid extraction abolished any PRHCL-induced increase in RBC mobility; the observed increases in mobility for normal cells are, thus, consistent with a mechanism based on expansion of the RBC membrane glycocalyx. Microelectrophoretic methods were also used to study the effect of PRHCL (8 x 10(-4) and 8 x 10(-2) M) on RBC membrane calcium binding, with the results indicating that PRHCL competes with calcium for neuraminate binding sites. We conclude that the observed changes in RBC electrokinetic properties reflect incorporation of PRHCL into the RBC membrane; such changes may be of importance in modulating cell-cell interactions. 相似文献

The extent of aggregation, electrophoretic mobility, and zeta potential of human erythrocytes were measured in the presence of some hormones and prostaglandins. Catecholamines, adrenomimetics, and prostaglandins were found to significantly increase the extent of aggregation; the electrophysiological characteristics of the cells were affected in different ways. 相似文献

The main purpose of this work was to identify the macromolecules carrying the surface charge of endothelial cells. This was done by measuring changes in cell electrophoretic mobility caused by enzymatic removal of glycocalyx components. Endothelial cells were removed from the bovine pulmonary artery using nonenzymatic procedures, plated, and identified by immunocytochemical methods and electron microscopy. Cultured cells were suspended in saline and placed in the lumen of a capillary in a Rank Brothers electrophoresis instrument. Voltage was applied between the ends of the capillary, and the velocity acquired by the cells was measured with a microscope. Preincubating the cells in protein-free saline for 1 h reduced the mobility by 25%. This reflects the loss of proteoheparan sulfate from the cell surface. Cell mobility was totally suppressed by exposing the entire cell surface to chondroitin sulfate lyase, but it was only slightly diminished when the enzyme was applied only to the cell side facing the culture medium. A partial decrease in mobility was obtained after enzymatic removal of either heparin, heparan sulfate, or collagen. The results indicate that sulfated glycosaminoglycans are the main carriers of the surface change in vascular endothelial cells. The asymmetrical effect of chondroitinase on the two sides of the cell indicates a distribution polarization for glycosaminoglycans in endothelial cells. 相似文献

Among the apoA-I-containing lipoproteins isolated by selected-affinity immunosorption from human serum and plasma, we have identified a subpopulation which, unlike the bulk of high density lipoproteins, has pre-beta electrophoretic mobility. This pre-beta subpopulation can be observed directly in fresh plasma by immunoelectrophoresis. It contains phospholipid and free and esterified cholesterol, but protein constitutes 90% of its mass. Apolipoprotein A-I is the predominant apolipoprotein in this subpopulation; apolipoprotein A-II and the B lipoproteins are not detected. The protein moiety of this subpopulation exhibits markedly lower helicity than that of high density lipoproteins isolated by ultracentrifugation. 相似文献

Alterations of the electrophoretic mobility distribution of rat mast cells after immunologic activation.

Changes in the electrophoretic mobility distributions of rat serosal mast cells after immunologic activation have been measured using the laser Doppler technique of electrophoretic light scattering. Rat serosal mast cells of 98% purity isolated by isopycnic and velocity gradient sedimentation had a highly negative electrophoretic mobility which was unaffected by incubation with normal rabbit serum or, at 4 degrees C or in the absence of Ca+2, with rabbit anti-rat E(ab')2 antiserum. Immunologic activation of the cells with this antiserum in the presence of Ca+2 at 37 degrees C resulted in a dose- and time-dependent increase in the electrophoretic mobility. Thus at a 1:25 dilution of anti-F(ab')2 the mean and mode electrophoretic mobilities of the mast cell population increased 25 and 21%, respectively. The width of the electrophoretic mobility distribution also increased with activation, indicating a heterogeneous response of the mast cells in the population. The increase in electrophoretic mobility after immunologic activation is not diminished by treatment of the cells with 1 M NaCl to solubilize adsorbed mast cell granule or heparin. 相似文献
