Postnuclear supernates from homogenates of skeletal muscle from rats subjected to starvation, injections of Triton WR-1339, dextran-500, and dextran + corticosterone were fractionated by means of rate and isopycnic zonal centrifugation in sucrose—0.02 M KCl gradients. Zonal fractions were analyzed for protein, RNA, cytochrome oxidase, and up to six acid hydrolases. The results indicate the presence of two groups of lysosome-like particles. One group contributes approximately 95% of the cathepsin D and acid phosphatase activity and 75% of the acid ribonuclease, β-glucuronidase, and arylsulfatase activity in muscle. It is characterized by a modal equilibrium density of 1.18 that is decreased by starvation, but is not shifted by dextran-500 or Triton WR-1339. The second group has a higher proportion of acid ribonuclease, β-glucuronidase, and arylsulftase; the equilibrium density can be shifted by dextran-500 and Triton WR-1339. It is suggested that this group of lysosomes is derived from macrophages and other connective tissue cells, whereas the former group represents lysosome-like particles from muscle cells.  相似文献

Lysosomes isolated from rat liver were found to have ATPase activity (EC No 3.6.1.3). Subfractionation of the lysosomes revealed a membranous localization of ATPase activity. The enzyme has half maximal activity at 0.2 mM ATP and is inhibited by high concentrations of ATP. The apparent Km for divalent metal is 0.2 mM, and either Ca2+ or Mg2+ give maximal activity. The ATPase activity has latency when lysosomes are isolated from rats treated with Triton WR-1339. This latency may be due to the presence of internalized sucrose because the activity of L fraction lysosomes is much less latent and Triton WR-1339 itself is not inhibitory. The latency of glucosaminidase, a marker enzyme for lysosomes, contrasts with the low latency of the ATPase and points to an ATPase with an exposed active site in intact lysosomes.  相似文献

Electron microscopic morphological and cytochemical techniques were used to follow the sub-cellular events that accompanied Triton WR-1339 accumulation in hepatocytes. Localization of two lysosomal enzymes, acid phosphatase and aryl sulfatase, clearly established the lysosomal nature of the Triton WR-1339 containing electron-lucid structures that appear in hepatocytes following treatment with this compound.  相似文献

The density-distribution patterns of various enzymes and of labeled materials have been determined by isopycnic centrifugation in a sucrose-0.2 M KCl gradient on homogenates of lymphoid tissues from rats injected with Triton WR-1339, (14)C-labeled dextran, (51)Cr-labeled erythrocytes, and cortisol. The results confirm and extend the conclusion, derived from previous investigations on normal animals, that the lysosomes of lymphoid tissues form two and possibly three, distinct populations. The evidence indicates that the L(19) population belongs to macrophages and the L(15) group to lymphocytes. The L(30) population appears to be associated with a special type of phagocyte with a high capacity for dextran storage. All three populations seem to contribute to the activities found in soluble form in homogenates of normal lymphoid tissues.  相似文献

The response of rat liver lysosomes to starvation and administration of lysosomotropic agentsviz. Triton WR-1339 and [131I]-human serum albumin, was assessed in terms of their distribution pattern after isopycnic sucrose density gradient centrifugation. Starvation induced changes in lysosomes appeared to be similar to that produced by the detergent uptake. Both the treatments caused a distinct decline in the equilibration densities of the organelles. On the other hand, injected labelled protein failed to comigrate with the lysosomal markers in starved as well as Triton treated rats and conspicuously remained in a region of high specific gravity in the gradient. These findings indicate retarded fusion between secondary lysosomes and [131I]-human serum albumin containing phagosomes in the livers of rats subjected to starvation or detergent treatment  相似文献

Yeast beta-fructofuranosidase (invertase) or (131)I-labelled albumin were entrapped into liposomes composed of phosphatidylcholine, cholesterol and phosphatidic acid. Of the beta-fructofuranosidase activity in the liposomal preparations 96-100% was latent. The following observations were made in experiments with rats injected with protein-containing liposomes. 1. After injection of beta-fructofuranosidase-containing liposomes (220 units or 1.5mg of beta-fructofuranosidase and 17.5mg of lipid), beta-fructofuranosidase activity in blood retained its latency but the activity declined to 50% of the injected dose in 1h. Within 6h much of this activity was recovered in the liver and spleen (respectively 45% and 10% of that injected). For up to 21h after injection, the mitochondrial-lysosomal fraction was the principal location of the hepatic beta-fructofuranosidase activity. 2. Lysosomal localization of liposomal protein was supported by the observed increase in the trichloroacetic acid-soluble radioactivity during incubation of the lysosome-rich fraction of the liver of rats injected with liposomes containing (131)I-labelled albumin. 3. Association of liposomal protein with lysosomes was demonstrated on subfractionation of the mitochondrial-lysosomal fraction of the liver of rats injected with beta-fructofuranosidase-containing liposomes in a Ficoll-mannitol gradient. beta-Fructofuranosidase, lysosomal and mitochondrial enzyme marker activities were found to exhibit similar distribution patterns along the gradient. However, in similar experiments with rats previously injected with Triton WR-1339 or dextran (known to alter the specific gravity of lysosomes), only beta-fructofuranosidase and lysosomal marker moved along the gradient, in strikingly similar patterns. 4. The lysosomal localization of injected liposome-entrapped material can probably be utilized in the treatment of certain disorders in man.  相似文献

We studied the effect in vitro of various concentrations of Triton WR-1339 on normolipidemic canine plasma and on the high density lipoproteins (HDL) isolated from this plasma by ultracentrifugation. As a preamble to this study, we established that Triton WR-1339 has a unimer molecular weight of 4,500, a micellar molecular weight of 180,000, and a critical micellar concentration (CMC) of 0.018 mM or 0.008 g/dl. Above its CMC, Triton WR-1339 in concentrations between 2 and 10 mg/ml induced concentration-dependent structural changes in HDL which were characterized by a progressive displacement of apoA-I from the HDL surface without loss of lipids. The addition of Triton WR-1339 to the HDL particles modified their electrophoresis mobility and caused an increase in size (95 +/- 5 A to 114 +/- 7 A). At the extreme Triton WR-1339 concentrations utilized in these studies (10 mg/ml) disruption of the HDL particles occurred; at this stage, the original, relatively homogeneous, spherical HDL particles were replaced by a heterogeneous population ranging in size between 50 and 250 A, representing complexes of Triton WR-1339 with lipids essentially free of apoA-I which could be sedimented by ultracentrifugation. The effects of Triton WR-1339 on whole plasma or isolated HDL were comparable. These studies indicate that Triton WR-1339 in vitro alters HDL in a concentration-dependent manner and that these changes vary from a displacement of apoA-I from the HDL surface to a state where all lipids are solubilized into the Triton WR-1339 micellar phase and are driven away from the protein moiety.(ABSTRACT TRUNCATED AT 250 WORDS)  相似文献

Lysosomes prepared from the livers of untreated rats and from the livers of rats injected with either Triton WR-1339 or dextran yielded membranes that were similar in both polypeptide composition and activities of ATPase and acid 5'-nucleotidase. The administration of Triton WR-1339 (and dextran) resulted in an increase in ATPase activity of liver homogenates that was associated with a parallel increase in the ATPase activity of the lysosomal membrane. On the other hand, plasma membranes appear to be different from lysosomal membranes with respect to polypeptide composition and enzyme activities. The ATPase activity of lysosomal membranes is not affected by ouabain and suramin, inhibitors of the plasma-membrane ATPase. The plasma-membrane alkaline 5'-nucleotidase has little activity at acid pH. Pulse-labelling of lysosomal membranes with [3H]fucose and with [3H]- and [14C]-leucine occurred rapidly, faster than labelling of plasma membranes. The labelling kinetics indicate that lysosomal membranes may be assembled independently of plasma membranes. These data suggest that, in liver, little bulk transport of plasma membrane to lysosomes takes place, and lysosomal-membrane proteins may not be derived from those of plasma membranes.  相似文献

Phosphodiesterase II activity was determined by using a synthetic substrate, the 2,4-dinitrophenyl ester of thymidine 3'-phosphate. The enzyme activity was determined in fractions obtained by differential centrifugation of homogenates of epithelial cells from the small intestinal mucosa of guinea pigs and rats. In guinea-pig preparations phosphodiesterase II occurred with highest specific activity in those fractions rich in succinate dehydrogenase and acid phosphatase. A lysosomal location for the guinea-pig enzyme was indicated by its structure-linked latency and by its association with particles that under-went a characteristic decrease in equilibrium density when Triton WR-1339 was injected into the animals. With rat preparations a much greater proportion of the phosphodiesterase II activity was found in the soluble fraction after ultracentrifugation. The rat enzyme exhibited a lower degree of latency and administration of Triton WR-1339 had no effect. The rat enzyme further differed from that of the guinea pig in other respects; it was more labile at 60 degrees C, it exhibited a lower pH optimum and it had a higher molecular weight as determined by gel-filtration chromatography.  相似文献

Summary Lysosomes isolated from rat liver were found to have ATPase activity (EC No. 3.6.1.3). Subfractionation of the lysosomes revealed a membranous localization of ATPase activity. The enzyme has half maximal activity at 0.2mm ATP and is inhibited by high concentrations of ATP. The apparentK m for divalent metal is 0.2mm, and either ca2+ or Mg2+ give maximal activity.The ATPase activity has latency when lysosomes are isolated from rats treated with Triton WR-1339. This latency may be due to the presence of internalized sucrose because the activity ofL fraction lysosomes is much less latent and Triton WR-1339 itself is not inhibitory. The latency of glucosamindase, a marker enzyme for lysosomes, contrasts with the low latency of the ATPase and points to an ATPase with an exposed active site in intact lysosomes.  相似文献

Analytical fractionation of cultured hepatoma cells (HTC cells)   总被引:6,自引:0,他引:6  
Homogenates of HTC cells have been fractionated by differential centrifugation (in four particulate fractions: N, M, L, P, and a supernatant S) or isopycnic banding in linear sucrose gradients. On this basis, the following subcellular organelles may be characterized: (i) Mitochondria, detected by cytochrome oxidase and succinodehydrogenase, are collected in the M and L fractions, and equilibrate, as a narrow band, at a median buoyant density of 1.18 g/cm3. (ii) Lysosomes, detected by the latent hydrolases beta-glycerophosphatase and N-acetyl-beta-glucosaminidase, are largely sedimented in the M and L fractions, and display a broad density distribution pattern with a median value of 1.17 g/cm3. This density is decreased or increased after cultivation of the cells in presence of Triton WR-1339 or Dextran 500, respectively. The behavior of cathepsin D is somewhat at variance with that of the two other hydrolases. (iii) Plasma membrane is tentatively detected by alkaline phosphodiesterase I. Largely recovered in the P fraction, this enzyme equilibrates at a median density close to that of the lysosomal hydrolases; the bulk of cholesterol and about half of the leucyl-2-naphthylamidase are closely associated with alkaline phosphodiesterase I; HTC cells do not contain typical 5'-nucleotidase. (iv) Catalase-bearing particles, of high buoyant density (1.22 g/cm3) are present, but 30-40% of the catalase is also found readily soluble. NADPH- and NADH: cytochrome c reductase, and RNA show more complex distributions. It is suggested that the former enzyme is associated with the endoplasmic reticulum; as in liver, NADH reductase activity is shared between the endoplasmic reticulum and the mitochondria; half of the RNA is associated with free ribosomes of polysomes. True glucose-6-phosphatase could not be detected.  相似文献

The glycoprotein isolated from Ulmus davidiana Nakai (UDN) (UDN glycoprotein) has a molecular weight of 116 kDa and consists of 78.65% carbohydrate content and 21.35% protein content. In the present study, we investigated the hypolipidemic effect of UDN glycoprotein on Triton WR-1339-induced mice. With pretreatment with UDN glycoprotein, the triacylglycerol (TAG), total cholesterol and low density lipoprotein-cholesterol (LDL-C) concentrations were significantly reduced, whereas high density lipoprotein-cholesterol (HDL-C) concentration was increased in the plasma of Triton WR-1339-induced mice. With respect to antioxidative activity, UDN glycoprotein significantly decreased the level of thiobarbituric acid reactive substances (TBARS) and improved activities of catalase and glutathione peroxidase (GPx), without an apparent change of superoxide dismutase (SOD) activity. Also UDN glycoprotein significantly increased nitric oxide (NO) production in Triton WR-1339-induced mice. These results indicate that UDN glycoprotein has a hypolipidemic effect, possesses antioxidant activity and has an ability to stimulate NO production. Thus, we speculate that UDN glycoprotein is an example of natural compound that lowers plasma lipid level together with having an antioxidant function in Triton WR-1339-induced mice.  相似文献

The origin of the lipids accumulated in liver lysosomes after administration of Triton WR-1339 was investigated. When Triton WR-1339 was injected into rats, serum triglyceride and cholesterol increased markedly. The highest content of triglyceride was observed in the second-day serum, from which very-low-density lipoprotein (VLDL) was isolated. The VLDL was administered to normal rats, then the light mitochondrial fraction of the liver at 24 h was centrifuged in a sucrose density gradient. The activities of lysosomal enzymes, acid phosphatase, N-acetyl-beta-D-glucosaminidase and acid lipase, were all shifted to less dense fractions as compared with those of normal lysosomes. [3H]Triglyceride-labeled VLDL was injected similarly, and at 12 and 24 h after the administration, the light mitochondrial fraction of the liver was fractionated by sucrose gradient centrifugation. Protein content and radioactivity in the immunoprecipitate with anti-VLDL serum at 12 h showed almost the same distribution as acid phosphatase activity. At 24 h, though acid phosphatase activity, immunoprecipitable protein content and radioactivity were all found in less dense fractions than in the case of normal lysosomes, the former two distributions were significantly different from the latter. The anti-VLDL serum reacted in Ouchterlony tests not only with Triton-induced VLDL and normal VLDL but also with the extract from low-density lysosomes. These results suggest that the lipids accumulated in low-density lysosomes following the administration of Triton WR-1339 were probably derived from the elevated serum VLDL induced by the treatment.  相似文献

The effect of Triton WR-1339 on activity of lecithin-cholesterol acyltransferase was measured in rat serum following addition of Triton to the serum in vitro or after intravenous injection of the detergent. The inhibitory effect of Triton WR-1339 on activity of lecithin-cholesterol acyltransferase when the detergent was added in vitro was dose dependent and appeared to result from a direct action on the enzyme rather than from a physical modification of the substrate by the detergent. The serum half-life (T12) of Triton WR-1339 injected intravenously in the rat was 23.1 ± 1.0 h. The inhibitory effect of Triton on serum LCAT activity when the detergent was given intravenously was also dose dependent and was reversed when the serum concentration of Triton decreased; under specific conditions, LCAT activity reached values higher than control. This behavior after treatment of the animal may be explained by increased concentration of the enzyme in the plasma, by stimulation of LCAT activity by the very low density lipoprotein or metabolites accumulating in the plasma of rats treated with Triton WR-1339, or by a combination of these factors.  相似文献

The effect of Triton WR-1339 on peroxisomal enzymes of rat liver was studied. The dose vs. response relationships of peroxisomal enzyme activities to Triton WR-1339 were first examined 3.5 days after injection. Catalase activity was reduced to 50% of that of the control at a dose of 200 mg per 100 g body weight; it was found that the decrease depended on the dose of this compound. Urate oxidase activity was not significantly affected. D-Amino acid oxidase activity showed intermediate behavior. The activities of these enzymes were found to be reduced more markedly at 2 days than at 3.5 days after injection, and subsequently the levels of the activities recovered. At 2 days after injection of a dose of 200 mg per 100 g body weight, the activities of catalase, D-amino acid oxidase and urate oxidase had decreased to 40, 60 and 60%,respectively, of the control values.It was found that the decreases in the activities of these enzymes caused by Triton WR-1339 had occurred in the large granule fraction, but not in the cytoplasm.Measurement of the specific activity, Ouchterlony gel diffusion and quantitative immunoprecipitation suggested that there was a similarity between the Triton WR-1339-treated and untreated rats in the nature of purified catalases.These results suggest that Triton WR-1339 depresses the activities of liver peroxisomal enzymes, especially the catalase activity.  相似文献

Intravenously administered Triton WR-1339, a nonionic surface active agent, has been used as an endogenous hyperlipemic agent since 1951. We expected Triton to increase food consumption to supply, at least partially, the energy and acetyl groups necessary for producing the hyperlipemic state. In this study, however, we observed that the rats injected intravenously with various dose levels of Triton decreased their voluntary food intake in a dose-related manner. Two other nonionic surface active agents, Tween 20 and Tween 80, given intravenously did not alter food intake. Further studies revealed that Triton WR-1339 administered intravenously 30 min before feeding by stomach tube resulted in a marked delay in the rate of gastric emptying which was also dose related. A delay in gastric emptying has previously been suggested as one mechanism that controls food intake. Tween 20 and Tween 80 did not alter the rate of gastric emptying. We suggest that the mechanism responsible for the decrease in voluntary food consumption in Triton WR-1339 injected rats may be due to the delay of gastric emptying in these animals.  相似文献

The effect of Triton WR-1339 on the rates of synthesis and degradation of hepatic catalase was examined. Triton WR-1339 was injected intraperitoneally into rats at a dose of 200 mg per 100 g body weight. Catalase activity decreased to about 35% of that of the control at 42-48 h after the injection and recovered to the normal level at 96 h. Other peroxisomal enzymes, D-amino acid oxidase and urate oxidase, showed similar patterns of the activities to those of catalase. During the first 48 h after the injection of Triton WR-1339, the rate of catalase synthesis (ks) fell to below a detectable value, while that of the degradation (kd) did not show any significant change. On the other hand, during the period 48-96 h after the injection, the rate of the synthesis (ks) returned to the normal level though that of the degradation (kd) decreased to about 50% of the control.  相似文献

(1) When lysosomes isolated from the livers of Triton WR 1339-treated rats were incubated for 30 min in the presence of 100 mM KCl and 14CH3NH2, a stimulation by MgATP of the calculated accumulation of the base was observed, in agreement with previous results (Schneider, D.L. (1979) Biochem. Biophys. Res. Commun. 87, 559-565). A similar stimulation was seen with MgITP. Excess EDTA had very little effect on the stimulation by MgATP. (2) There was little effect of MgATP or MgITP on the calculated accumulation of 14CH3NH2 if the base was added to the incubation medium 1, 3, 4 or 5 min before terminating the incubation instead of being present for the total incubation period of 30 min. (3) The accumulation of the basic dye, acridine orange, by a crude lysosomal preparation isolated from the livers of untreated rats was found to be stimulated by MgATP, in agreement with earlier results (Dell'Antone, P. (1979) Biochem. Biophys. Res. Commun. 86, 180-189). Similar results were obtained with a crude lysosomal preparation isolated from the livers of Triton WR 1339-treated rats. In both cases, the stimulation was partly oligomycin-sensitive. (4) There was very little or no effect of MgATP on the accumulation of acridine orange by preparations of pure lysosomes isolated from the livers of Triton WR 1339-treated rats. (5) Our data do not acquire us to postulate the existence of an MgATP-dependent proton pump in lysosomes.  相似文献

The highly pinocytic epithelial cells of the visceral yolk sac from 17.5-day rat conceptuses were used as a model in which to induce engorgement of the vacuolar system by direct accumulation of substances that are not hydrolysed by lysosomal enzymes. The ultra-structural appearances of these cells in pregnant animals that 24-48h before had received intraperitoneal injections of Triton WR-1339, polyvinylpyrrolidone, dextran or sucrose revealed gross abnormalities that were confined to the vacuolar system; in comparison with normal tissue the number, and in some cases the size, of vacuoles was increased, leading to close packing within the apical cytoplasm and distortion of the normal rounded shape. By culturing yolk sacs in vitro, rates of ingestion of 125I-labelled polyvinylpyrrolidone and of 125I-labelled bovine serum albumin were determined, together with the rate of digestion of the labelled protein. The rates of exocytosis of 125I-labelled polyvinylpyrrolidone and of lysosomal enzymes were also determined. No significant differences between normal and highly vacuolated tissues were found. Apparently marked vacuolation of these cells by these agents is without significant effect on pinocytosis, exocytosis or intralysosomal proteolysis.  相似文献

Effect on lysosomes of invertase endocytosed by rat-liver   总被引:1,自引:0,他引:1  
The intracellular localization of invertase endocytosed by rat liver was investigated by analytical centrifugation in sucrose and Percoll gradients of mitochondrial fractions originating from rats killed 15 h after injection. After isopycnic centrifugation in a sucrose gradient, invertase is located in higher density zones than acid hydrolases. The difference between the distribution of invertase and that of acid hydrolases increases with the amount of invertase injected. When the invertase dose is sufficiently high, a change of lysosomal enzyme distribution is clearly visible. It consists in the shift of a proportion of these enzymes to higher density regions where invertase is located. The proportion of hydrolase activity affected by invertase is different for each enzyme measured; it is the least pronounced for acid phosphatase, and most for acid deoxyribonuclease and arylsulfatase. A pretreatment of the rat with Triton WR 1339 considerably decreases the equilibrium density of structures bearing invertase. Nevertheless invertase distribution is quite distinct from that of the bulk of lysosomal enzymes that are recovered in lower density zones of the gradient; on the other hand the invertase injection to rats treated with Triton WR 1339 causes a spreading of the acid hydrolase distribution towards higher density zones. The distribution of acid hydrolases and invertase in a Percoll gradient depends on the sucrose concentration of the solvent. It is shifted towards higher densities when the sucrose concentration increases. The phenomenon is more important for invertase. These results are best explained by supposing that invertase accumulates in a distinct population of lysosomes that can be individualized as a result of the density increase they are subjected to by the invertase they accumulate. It is proposed that these lysosomes mainly originate from non-parenchymal cells of the liver.  相似文献
