The effect of monensin, an ionophore that mediates Na+/H+ exchange, on the activity of the inorganic carbon transport systems of the cyanobacterium Synechococcus UTEX 625 was investigated using transport assays based on the measurement of chlorophyll a fluorescence emission or 14C uptake. In Synechococcus cells grown in standing culture at about 20 [mu]M CO2 + HCO3-, 50 [mu]M monensin transiently inhibited active CO2 and Na+-independent HCO3- transport, intracellular CO2 and HCO3- accumulation, and photosynthesis in the presence but not in the absence of 25 mM Na+. These activities returned to near-normal levels within 15 min. Transient inhibition was attributed to monensin-mediated intracellular alkalinization, whereas recovery may have been facilitated by cellular mechanisms involved in pH homeostasis or by monensin-mediated H+ uptake with concomitant K+ efflux. In air-grown cells grown at 200 [mu]M CO2 + HCO3- and standing culture cells, Na+-dependent HCO3- transport, intracellular HCO3- accumulation, and photosynthesis were also inhibited by monensin, but there was little recovery in activity over time. However, normal photosynthetic activity could be restored to air-grown cells by the addition of carbonic anhydrase, which increased the rate of CO2 supply to the cells. This observation indicated that of all the processes required to support photosynthesis only Na+-dependent HCO3- transport was significantly inhibited by monensin. Monensin-mediated dissipation of the Na+ chemical gradient between the medium and the cells largely accounted for the decline in the HCO3- accumulation ratio from 751 to 55. The two HCO3- transport systems were further distinguished in that Na+-dependent HCO3- transport was inhibited by Li+, whereas Na+-independent HCO3- transport was not. It is suggested that Na+-dependent HCO3- transport involves an Na+/HCO3- symport mechanism that is energized by the Na+ electrochemical potential. 相似文献

Human hepatoma cells, infected by vesicular stomatitis virus, offer a good system to study simultaneously the intracellular localization of a well defined transmembrane glycoprotein (VSV-G), a secretory glycoprotein (transferrin), and a nonglycosylated secretory protein (albumin). We used monospecific antibodies in combination with 5- and 8- nm colloidal gold particles complexed with protein A to immunolabel these proteins simultaneously in thin frozen sections of hepatoma cells. VSV-G, transferrin, and albumin are present in the same rough endoplasmic reticulum cisternae, the same Golgi compartments, and the same secretory vesicles. In the presence of the ionophore monensin intracellular transport is blocked at the trans cisternae of the Golgi complex, and VSV-G, transferrin, and albumin accumulate in dilated cisternae, which are apparently derived from the trans-Golgi elements. Glycoproteins, synthesized and secreted in the presence of monensin, are less acidic than those in control cultures. This is probably caused by a less efficient contact between the soluble secretory proteins and the membrane-bound glycosyltransferases that are present in the most monensin-affected (trans) Golgi cisternae. 相似文献

1. The endocytic pathway of horseradish peroxidase (HRP) was investigated in the perikarya of cultured neurons by electron microscopy and enzyme cytochemistry. The tracer was observed in endocytic pits and vesicles, endosomes, multivesicular bodies, and lysosomes. It took approximate 15 min for the transfer of HRP from the exterior of the cell to the lysosomes. 2. Monensin induced distension of the Golgi apparatus and formation of intracellular vacuoles. When neurons were incubated with both monensin and HRP for 30 to 120 min, the number of HRP-labeled endosomes was greater than that in the monensin-free group, whereas the reverse was seen for HRP-positive lysosomes. The formation of HRP-positive lysosomes in monensin-treated cells was blocked by 47 to 79%. 3. These results indicate that the intracellular transport of the endocytosed macromolecule is pH dependent. It is also possible that the export of lysosomal enzymes is inhibited by monensin, resulting in an accumulation of the endosomes and a reduction of the lysosomes. 相似文献

Disparate effects of monensin and colchicine on intracellular processing of secretory proteins in cultured rat hepatocytes 总被引:8,自引:0,他引:8
We have studied the biosynthesis and intracellular processing of three major secretory proteins, albumin, alpha 1-protease inhibitor and alpha 2u-globulin, in cultured rat hepatocytes. The effect of secretion-blocking agents, monensin, a monovalent ionophore, and the microtubule-affecting agents colchicine and taxol was determined. In the control cells, alpha 1-protease inhibitor, a glycoprotein, was first synthesized as an endoglycosidase-H-sensitive form with Mr 51 000, and then processed to two endoglycosidase-H-resistant forms having Mr 51 000 and 56 000, the latter of which was secreted into the medium. Initially synthesized proalbumin was converted with chase to serum-type albumin, while no pro-type precursor was identified for alpha 2u-globulin. In the cells treated with colchicine or taxol, in which secretion was greatly inhibited, the fully processed alpha 1-protease inhibitor and albumin accumulated and were finally secreted into the medium. In the monensin-treated cells, however, most of the newly synthesized alpha 1-protease inhibitor and albumin were not processed to the final mature forms, resulting in accumulation of two 51 000-Mr forms and proalbumin, respectively. Moreover in treated cells, proalbumin and the endoglycosidase-H-resistant alpha 1-protease inhibitor were finally secreted into the medium. Such an effect was not caused by NH4Cl which also inhibited the secretion and is known to exert the similar effect as monensin on the receptor-mediated endocytosis pathway. Based on these results, the use of monensin may prove valuable for more detailed analysis of intracellular processing of various proteins. 相似文献

Lysosomotropic amines are believed to inhibit the transport of diphtheria toxin to the cell cytoplasm by raising the pH within intracellular vesicles. If so, then other drugs that dissipate intracellular proton gradients should have a similar effect on toxin transport. We found that monensin, a proton ionophore unrelated to lysosomotropic amines, is a potent inhibitor of the cytotoxic effect of diphtheria toxin. Monensin appears to block the escape of endocytosed toxin from a vesicle to the cytoplasm. Monensin fails to protect cells from the effects of diphtheria toxin that is bound to the cell surface and exposed to acidic medium, suggesting that the step normally blocked by the drug is circumvented under these conditions. The inhibition of toxin transport caused by monensin could not be relieved when monensin was replaced by ammonium chloride, nor when ammonium chloride was again replaced by monensin. This suggests that both drugs block the same step of toxin transport. The effect of monensin on the transport of diphtheria toxin to the cytoplasm is consistent with the proposal (Draper and Simon. 1980. J. Cell Biol. 87:849-854; Sandvig and Olsnes. 1980. J. Cell Biol. 87:828-832) that the toxin is endocytosed and then, in response to an acidic environment, penetrates through the membrane of an intracellular vesicle to reach the cytoplasm. 相似文献

We studied the effects of monensin on post-translational modification and intracellular transport of precursors of laminin subunits in parietal endoderm-like F9 cells. At concentrations higher than 0.1 microM, monensin inhibited the processing of high-mannose type precursors for all three subunits and caused their cytoplasmic accumulation. Furthermore, the secretion of mature subunits of laminin was inhibited. Instead, polypeptides with similar molecular weights to those of intracellular precursors were secreted. These polypeptides were immunologically related to laminin subunits and were sensitive to digestion with beta-N-acetylglucosaminidase H (Endo H). This indicated that Golgi complexes of the cells can transport the precursors of laminin subunits even with their terminal glycosylation inactivated by monensin. Tunicamycin induced the accumulation of unglycosylated precursors and strongly reduced their secretion into the medium. 相似文献

The transport of the gp70 glycoprotein to the cell surface and concomitant release of infectious virus was inhibited by treatment of Friend murine leukemia virus-infected Eveline cells with the sodium ionophore monensin. Virus yields were reduced more than 50-fold by 10(-5) M monensin, whereas particle production was reduced by 50% in monensin-treated cells. The resulting particles failed to incorporate newly synthesized gp70 and p15(E), whereas the other structural proteins, p30, p15, p12, and p10, were incorporated into virions. However, monensin did not inhibit the incorporation into virions of preformed gp70. A reduction in the efficiency of cleavage of the PrENV glycoprotein precursor and a defect in the processing of simple endo-H-sensitive to complex endo-H-resistant oligosaccharides suggest that intracellular transport of gp70 may be blocked before its entry into the Golgi apparatus. Fewer particles were found to bud from the cell surface, but intracellular vacuoles with budding virions were detected. Ferritin labeling and pulse-chase studies suggested a cell surface origin for these vacuoles. These experiments indicate that monensin inhibits the transport of Friend murine leukemia virus glycoproteins at an early stage, with a resultant block in the assembly and release of infectious virus. 相似文献

The physiology of protein intracellular transport and secretion by cell types thought to be free from short-term control has been compared with that of the pancreatic acinar cell, using pulse-chase protocols to follow biosynthetically-labeled secretory products. Data previously obtained (Tartakoff, A.M., and P. Vassalli. J. Exp. Med. 146:1332-1345) has shown that plasma-cell immunoglobulin (Ig) secretion is inhibited by respiratory inhibitors, by partial Na/K equilibration effected by the carboxylic ionophore monensin, and by calcium withdrawal effected by the carboxylic ionophore A 23187 in the presence of ethylene glycol bis (beta-aminoethylether)-N,N,N'',N''-tetraacetic acid (EGTA) and absence of calcium. We report here that both inhibition of respiration and treatment with monensin slow secretion by fibroblasts, and also macrophages and slow intracellular transport (though not discharge per se) by the exocrine pancreatic cells. Attempted calcium withdrawal is inhibitory for fibroblasts but not for macrophages. The elimination of extracellular calcium or addition of 50 mM KCl has no major effect on secretory rate of either fibroblasts or macrophages. Electron microscopic examination of all cell types shows that monensin causes a rapid and impressive dilation of Golgi elements. Combined cell fractionation and autoradiographic studies of the pancreas show that the effect of monensin is exerted at the point of the exit of secretory protein from the Golgi apparatus. Other steps in intracellular transport proceed at normal rates. These observations suggest a common effect of the cytoplasmic Na/K balance at the Golgi level and lead to a model of intracellular transport in which secretory product obligatorily passes through Golgi elements (cisternae?) that are sensitive to monensin. Thus, intracellular transport follows a similar course in both regulated and nonregulated secretory cells up to the level of distal Golgi elements. 相似文献

We have used pulse-chase labeling of Chinese hamster ovary cells with choline followed by plasma membrane isolation on cationic beads to study the transport of phosphatidylcholine from the endoplasmic reticulum to the plasma membrane. We have found that the process is rapid (t1/2 [25 degrees C] = 2 min) and not affected by energy poisons or by cytochalasin B, colchicine, monensin, or carbonyl cyanide p-chlorophenylhydrazone. Cooling cells to 0 degree C effectively stops the transport process. The intracellular transport of phosphatidylcholine is distinct in several ways from the intracellular transport of cholesterol (Kaplan, M. R., and R. D. Simoni, 1985, J. Cell. Biol., 101:446-453). 相似文献

Endocytosis of formaldehyde-treated serum albumin (f-albumin) in isolated liver sinusoidal endothelial cells was studied. Uptake occurs via the scavenger receptor and was found to be very sensitive to the ionophore monensin. Binding at 4 degrees C of f-albumin was reduced to 50% of control values by preincubation for 2 min with 2 microM monensin. Both uptake and degradation of f-albumin were more sensitive to monensin. No lag-phase in the inhibitory effect on uptake and degradation was detected. A concentration of 0.1 microM monensin reduced uptake of f-albumin by 50%. Degradation of internalized f-albumin was reduced by 50% in the presence of 0.2 microM monensin. Since uptake and degradation of f-albumin were very sensitive to monensin, the effect of introducing the drug during endocytosis of the ligand was tested. All processing of f-albumin stopped instantly upon addition of monensin; hence, there seems to be no step in the endocytic process beyond which monensin is ineffective. The data suggest that the scavenger receptor of liver endothelial cells is internalized and recycled very rapidly. 相似文献

Novel blockade by brefeldin A of intracellular transport of secretory proteins in cultured rat hepatocytes 总被引:80,自引:0,他引:80

We examined the effect of brefeldin A, an antiviral antibiotic, on protein synthesis, intracellular processing, and secretion in primary culture of rat hepatocytes. The secretion was strongly blocked by the drug at 1 microgram/ml and higher concentrations, while the protein synthesis was maintained fairly well. Pulse-chase experiments with [35S]methionine demonstrated that brefeldin A completely blocked the proteolytic conversion of proalbumin to serum albumin up to 60 min of chase, although its conversion was observed as early as 20 min in the control cells. The drug also inhibited the terminal glycosylation of oligosaccharide chains of alpha 1-protease inhibitor and haptoglobin. These two modifications have been shown to occur at the trans region of the Golgi complex. The drug, however, had no effect on the proteolytic processing of the haptoglobin proform which takes place within the endoplasmic reticulum. Such an effect by brefeldin A is very similar with that induced by the carboxylic ionophore monensin. However, in contrast to evidence that monensin causes a delayed secretion of the unprocessed forms of these proteins, brefeldin A allowed the completely processed forms to be secreted after a prolonged accumulation of the unprocessed forms. Morphological observations demonstrated that the endoplasmic reticulum was markedly dilated by treatment with the drug at 10 micrograms/ml which continuously blocked the secretion. On the other hand, brefeldin A caused no inhibitory effect on the endocytic pathway as judged by cellular uptake and degradation of 125I-asialofetuin. These results indicate that brefeldin A is a unique agent which primarily impedes protein transport from the endoplasmic reticulum to the Golgi complex by a mechanism different from those considered for other secretion-blocking agents so far reported. 相似文献

Effects of monensin on the synthesis, transport, and intracellular degradation of proteoglycans in rat ovarian granulosa cells in culture 总被引:2,自引:0,他引:2
Rat ovarian granulosa cells, isolated from immature female rats 48 h after stimulation with 5 IU of pregnant mare's serum gonadotropin, were maintained in culture. The effects of monensin, a monovalent cationic ionophore, on various aspects of proteoglycan metabolism were studied by metabolically labeling cultures with [35S]sulfate, [3H]glucosamine, or [3H]glucose. Monensin inhibited post-translational modification of both heparan sulfate (HS) proteoglycans and dermatan sulfate (DS) proteoglycans, resulting in decreased synthesis of completed proteoglycans [( 35S]sulfate incorporation decreased to 10% of control by 30 microM monensin, with an ED50 approximately 1 microM). Proteoglycans synthesized in the presence of monensin showed undersulfation of both DS and HS glycosaminoglycans and altered N-linked and O-linked oligosaccharides, suggesting that the processing of all sugar moieties is closely associated. Monensin caused a decrease in the endogenous sugar supply to the UDP-N-acetylhexosamine pool as indicated by an increased 3H incorporation into DS chains [( 3H]glucosamine as precursor) in spite of the decrease in glycosaminoglycan synthesis. Monensin reduced and delayed transport of both secretory and membrane-associated proteoglycans from the Golgi complex to the cell surface. It took 2-4 min for newly labeled proteoglycans to reach the main transport process inhibited by monensin. Monensin at 30 microM did not prevent internalization of cell surface 35S-labeled proteoglycans but almost completely inhibited their intracellular degradation to free [35S]sulfate (ED50 approximately 1 microM), resulting in intracellular accumulation of both DS and HS proteoglycans. Pulse-chase experiments demonstrated that one of the intracellular degradation pathways involving proteolysis of both DS and HS proteoglycans and limited endoglycosidic cleavage of HS continued to operate in the presence of monensin. These results suggest that the intracellular degradation of proteoglycans involve both acidic and nonacidic compartments with monensin inhibiting those processes that normally occur in such acidic compartments as endosomes or lysosomes by raising their pH. 相似文献

Temperature-sensitive mutants of semliki forest virus (SFV) and sindbis virus (SIN) were used to study the intracellular transport of virus membrane glycoproteins in infected chicken embryo fibroblasts. When antisera against purified glycoproteins and (125)I- labeled protein A from staphylococcus aureus were used only small amounts of virus glycoproteins were detected at the surface of SFV ts-1 and SIN Ts-10 infected cells incubated at the restrictive temperature (39 degrees C). When the mutant-infected cells were shifted to the permissive temperature (28 degrees C), in the presence of cycloheximide, increasing amounts of virus glycoproteins appeared at the cell surface from 20 to 80 min after the shift. Both monensin (10muM) and carbonylcyanide-p- trifluoromethoxyphenylhydrazone (FCCP; 10-20 muM) inhibited the appearance of virus membrane glycoproteins at the cell surface. Vinblastine sulfate (10 μg/ml) inhibited the transport by approximately 50 percent, whereas cytochalasin B (1 μg/ml) had only a marginal effect. Intracellular distribution of virus glycoproteins in the mutant-infected cells was visualized in double-fluorescence studies using lectins as markers for endoplasmic reticulum and Golgi apparatus. At 39 degrees C, the virus membrane glycoproteins were located at the endoplasmic reticulum, whereas after shift to 28 degrees C, a bright juxtanuclear reticular fluorescence was seen in the location of the Golgi apparatus. In the presence of monensin, the virus glycoproteins could migrate to the Golgi apparatus, although transport to the cell surface did not take place. When the shift was carried out in the presence of FCCP, negligible fluorescence was seen in the Golgi apparatus and the glycoproteins apparently remained in the rough endoplasmic reticulum. A rapid inhibition in the accumulation of virus glycoproteins at the cell surface was obtained when FCCP was added during the active transport period, whereas with monensin there was a delay of approximately 10 min. These results suggest a similar intracellular pathway in the maturation of both plasma membrane and secretory glycoproteins. 相似文献

The effect of monensin on endocytosis, transcytosis, recycling and transport to the Golgi apparatus in filter-grown Madin-Darby canine kidney (MDCK) cells was investigated using 125I-labeled ricin as a marker for membrane transport, and horseradish peroxidase (HRP) as a marker for fluid phase transport. Monensin (10 microM) stimulated transcytosis of both markers about 3-fold in the basolateral to apical direction. Transcytosis of HRP in the opposite direction, apical to basolateral, was reduced to approximately 50% of the control by monensin, whereas that of ricin was slightly increased. Recycling of markers endocytosed from the apical surface was reduced in the presence of monensin and there was an increased accumulation of both ricin and HRP in the cells. Transport of ricin to the Golgi apparatus increased to the same extent as the increase in intracellular accumulation. No change in recycling or accumulation was observed with monensin when the markers were added basolaterally, but transport of ricin to the Golgi apparatus increased almost 3-fold. Our results indicate that basolateral to apical transcytosis is increased in the absence of low endosomal pH, and they suggest that apical to basolateral transcytosis of a membrane-bound marker (ricin) is affected by monensin differently from that of a fluid phase marker (HRP). 相似文献

Effect of tunicamycin and monensin on secretion of thyroxine-binding globulin by cultured human hepatoma (Hep G2) cells 总被引:3,自引:0,他引:3
We have reported in the preceding paper that human hepatoma (Hep G2) cells synthesize thyroxine-binding globulin (TBG). In this paper, we evaluated the kinetics of secretion of the protein and the effects produced by the ionophore monensin and the glycosylation inhibitor tunicamycin. Cells were pulse labeled with [35S]methionine and then chased after addition of excess unlabeled methionine. TBG appeared in the medium after 10 min, and 50% of the protein was secreted after 45 min. After 2 h, more than 85% of TBG had been released. The rate of secretion of TBG was much slower than that of albumin, 50% of which was secreted after 20 min. Monensin, 1 microM, caused a marked delay in TBG secretion, with 50% released after 80 min. After 2 h, less than 60% had been released and a plateau was approached. Endoglycosidase H (endo H) treatment of intracellular and secreted TBG showed no alteration in the rate of conversion of TBG oligosaccharide units from high-mannose type (endo H-sensitive) to complex type (endo H-resistant), thus suggesting that monensin impeded the exit of TBG from the Golgi apparatus without affecting the terminal glycosylation of the protein. Tunicamycin, 5 micrograms/ml, completely blocked glycosylation and markedly affected TBG secretion, almost doubling the time required for the secretion of 50% of the protein. The effect was specific for TBG, since it was not observed in the case of albumin. After 2 h, only 56% of the protein had been released. Analysis of intracellular and extracellular immunoprecipitated products revealed the presence of aggregates (Mr greater than 100,000). The lack of carbohydrates, although not preventing TBG secretion, had marked quantitative effects, and increased the susceptibility to aggregation. 相似文献

We previously reported that treatment of Hep G2 cells with oleate significantly increased apolipoprotein B (apoB) secretion by reducing early intracellular degradation of nascent apoB. In the current study, inhibitors of secretory protein transport (brefeldin A and monensin), cell fractionation studies, and protease protection assays were utilized to determine the location of apoB degradation and to better define the mechanism whereby oleate treatment reduces nascent apoB intracellular degradation. When cells were treated with brefeldin A, which blocks endoplasmic reticulum (ER) to Golgi protein transport, apoB degradation continued in control cells, suggesting that apoB is degraded in the ER. When oleate-treated cells were blocked with brefeldin A, oleate failed to protect apoB from intracellular degradation. The effects of brefeldin A were not due to effects on lipid synthesis as brefeldin A did not inhibit the synthesis of triglyceride, phospholipid, free cholesterol, or cholesteryl ester in control cells and did not prevent the increases in triglyceride (14-fold) and phospholipid (1.4-fold) synthesis seen in oleate-treated cells. Simultaneous treatment of cells with brefeldin A and nocodazole, which inhibits retrograde transport of proteins from Golgi to ER, added to the evidence for the ER as the site of apoB degradation. This conclusion received further support from experiments in which cells were treated with monensin, a Na+ ionophore which halts protein secretion at the level of the trans-Golgi network. Early degradation of nascent apoB (between 10 and 20 min of chase) was observed in monensin-treated cells, but then cellular apoB degradation ceased and apoB was stable during the remaining chase period. More apoB accumulated in the Golgi of cells that had been treated with oleate and monensin. These results suggest that ER degradation occurs in monensin-treated cells, but then stops as apoB is transferred to the Golgi. The results obtained in whole cells were confirmed in studies using isolated ER and Golgi, which indicated that ER contains a proteolytic activity which degrades apoB, in vitro, whereas Golgi does not. ApoB degradation in isolated ER was not reduced by pretreatment with oleate. Finally, protease protection assays carried out with isolated microsomes indicated that a majority of the apoB in both control or oleate-treated HepG2 cells was located on the cytosolic side of the membranes.(ABSTRACT TRUNCATED AT 400 WORDS) 相似文献

Detailed studies on the effects of the ionophore monensin upon synthesis, maturation, and intracellular transport of pro-opiomelanocortin in cultures of rat pituitary intermediate lobe cells have been carried out. When added at concentrations larger than 5 X 10(-8) M monensin significantly inhibited protein synthesis by cultured intermediate lobe cells. Pro-opiomelanocortin synthesis was also reduced proportionally to the overall rate of protein synthesis. During pulse-chase experiments, monensin when added at a concentration of 10(-5) M at the beginning of the chase incubation completely inhibited the proteolytic processing of pro-opiomelanocortin. Using a subcellular fractionation procedure of intermediate lobe cell extracts on Percoll gradients, we were able to show that after the addition of monensin (10(-5) M), labeled pro-opiomelanocortin molecules synthesized during a 15-min pulse-incubation were recovered intact after a 2-h chase, in the fractions of the density gradient corresponding to the rough endoplasmic reticulum and Golgi elements. No maturation products or precursor molecules entered the granule fractions as observed in nontreated cells. Taken together these results strongly suggest that monensin blocks the intracellular transport of newly synthesized pro-opiomelanocortin molecules at the Golgi level and that inhibition of proteolytic processing is due to the failure of the prohormone to enter the cell compartment (probably the secretion granules) where maturation proteases are located. 相似文献

Effects of monensin were examined on the intracellular processing of the GABAA/benzodiazepine receptor (GABAA/BZDR) in neuron cultures derived from embryonic chicken brain, using 3H-flunitrazepam as the probe for the benzodiazepine modulator site on the receptor. Incubation of cultures with 0.1 or 1 microM monensin for 3 h blocked the binding of 3H-flunitrazepam by about 18%. Loss of ligand binding was due to a reduction in the number of binding sites, with no significant changes in receptor affinity. The general cellular protein synthesis and glycosylation in the cells were inhibited by 26% and 56%, respectively, in the presence of 1 microM monensin, as detected by assaying the incorporation of 3H-leucine and 3H-galactose. In contrast, an increase was observed for mannose incorporation by the cultures in the presence of the drug. Moreover, the results from in situ trypsinization of the cultures following monensin treatment showed that monensin did not alter the distribution of intracellular and surface receptors. The data suggest that monensin induces the down-regulation of GABAA/BZDR by generating abnormal glycosylation of the receptor and interrupting its transport within the Golgi apparatus, as well as from the Golgi apparatus to the intracellular pool and cell membrane. The galactosylation of receptor proteins may be important for the maturation of the receptor. 相似文献

Monensin is a sodium selective carboxylic ionophore that has been helpful in studying the intracellular mechanisms of protein secretion by its ability to inhibit transport of secretory proteins, particularly through the Golgi apparatus, and by its capacity to block intracellular posttranslational processing events. We studied in rat anterior pituitary cell culture the effects of monensin on: CRF stimulated ACTH release; presynthesized (stored) ACTH release; and on forskolin- (activator of adenylate cyclase) and KCl- (a membrane depolarizer which does not stimulate ACTH synthesis) induced ACTH release. Monensin inhibited CRF stimulated ACTH release in a dose-dependent fashion. The ED50 was 2.7 x 10(-8) M and maximal inhibition was 52% at 1.5 x 10(-7) M. Inhibition at 40 minutes of CRF incubation was similar to the percent inhibition noted at 1 hr 40 min and 2 hr 40 min. Monensin (1.5 x 10(-6) M) decreased the amount of ACTH release from cells incubated with cycloheximide plus CRF by 32% (p less than 0.01). Monensin individually inhibited forskolin (2 x 10(-6) M) and dibutyryl cyclic AMP (3 x 10(-3) M) mediated ACTH release in a dose-dependent fashion. The inhibition of forskolin and dibutyryl cyclic AMP mediated ACTH release by 1.5 x 10(-6) M monensin was 48% and 46% respectively. Monensin (1.5 x 10(-6) M) also reduced KCl (50 mM) stimulated ACTH release by 48%. This study demonstrates that monensin inhibits CRF mediated ACTH release.(ABSTRACT TRUNCATED AT 250 WORDS) 相似文献

Binding studies with cells that had been permeabilized with saponin indicate that alveolar macrophages have an intracellular pool of mannose-specific binding sites which is about 4-fold greater than the cell surface pool. Monensin, a carboxylic ionophore which mediates proton movement across membranes, has no effect on binding of ligand to macrophages but blocks receptor-mediated uptake of 125I-labelled beta-glucuronidase. Inhibition of uptake was concentration- and time-dependent. Internalization of receptor-bound ligand, after warming to 37 degrees C, was unaffected by monensin. Moreover, internalization of ligand in the presence of monensin resulted in an intracellular accumulation of receptor-ligand complexes. The monensin effect was not dependent on the presence of ligand, since incubation of macrophages with monensin at 37 degrees C without ligand resulted in a substantial decrease in cell-surface binding activity. However, total binding activity, measured in the presence of saponin, was much less affected by monensin treatment. Removal of monensin followed by a brief incubation at pH 6.0 and 37 degrees C, restored both cell-surface binding and uptake activity. Fractionation experiments indicate that ligands enter a low-density (endosomal) fraction within the first few minutes of uptake, and within 20 min transfer to the lysosomal fraction has occurred. Monensin blocks the transfer from endosomal to lysosomal fraction. Lysosomal pH, as measured by the fluorescein-dextran method, was increased by monensin in the same concentration range that blocked ligand uptake. The results indicate that monensin blockade of receptor-mediated endocytosis of mannose-terminated ligands by macrophages is due to entrapment of receptor-ligand complexes and probably receptors in the pre-lysosomal compartment. The inhibition is linked with an increase in the pH of acid intracellular vesicles. 相似文献
