The uptake and release of (125)I-RBP and of holoRBP labeled with [(3)H]retinol ((3)H-ROH) were studied in two cell lines which synthesize and secrete RBP, the HepG2 hepatocarcinoma cell line and the Caki-1 kidney adenocarcinoma cell line, and in HeLa cells that do not express the endogenous RBP gene. In all three cell lines a part of endocytosed (125)I-RBP is recycled to the extracellular medium and part is degraded. Nonspecific endocytosis of (125)I-RBP was estimated to be approximately 10% of total endocytosed (125)I-RBP. In HepG2 cells the (3)H-ROH from the [(3)H]retinol-RBP complex ((3)H-ROH-RBP) is recycled bound to RBP into serum-free chase medium. This (3)H-ROH recycling is blocked in HepG2 cells by cyclohexymide and by brefeldin A, an inhibitor of protein export from the main secretory route, and is absent in HeLa cells, which do not synthesize RBP. These data suggest that at least part of retinol taken up from exogenous holoRBP is delivered to newly synthesized RBP. (3)H-ROH recycled by HeLa cells is bound to serum albumin, as is a portion of that recycled by HepG2 cells. Transfer of (3)H-ROH from RBP to serum albumin does not occur in the absence of cells. We conclude that RBP is endocytosed through a specific pathway and that the RBP-associated retinol is transferred to newly synthesized RBP or to serum albumin. 相似文献

Retinol binding protein 4 (RBP4) is an adipokine that may contribute to the development of insulin resistance. However, how this adipokine is affected and its possible involvement in lipid metabolism in obese patients with varying degrees of insulin resistance is yet to be determined. A total of 299 middle-aged morbid obese patients (BMI>40 kg/m2) were divided in euglycemic, metabolic syndrome or type 2 diabetic. Anthropometric measurements, biochemical variables and systemic RBP4 levels were determined. RBP4 levels were significantly higher in patients with metabolic syndrome and type 2 diabetes than in euglycemic subjects (42.9±14.6; 42.3±17.0 and 37.4±11.7 µg/ml, respectively) and correlated with triglycerides but not with those of HOMA-IR in the whole population. The multivariate regression model revealed that triglycerides were the strongest predictor of systemic RBP4 levels. Analysis of lipoprotein subfractions in a subpopulation of 80 subjects showed an altered profile of insulin resistant states characterized by higher VLDL, sdLDL and small HDL percentages and lower large HDL percentage. Although RBP4 levels correlated significantly with LDL particle size and small HDL percentage, the latter parameter was independently associated only with RBP4. Our study reveals that systemic RBP4 levels could play an important role in lipid metabolism in morbid obesity, increasing triglyceride levels and contributing to the formation of small HDL. 相似文献

Vitamin A is secreted from cellular stores and circulates in blood bound to retinol-binding protein (RBP). In turn, holo-RBP associates in plasma with transthyretin (TTR) to form a ternary RBP-retinol-TTR complex. It is believed that binding to TTR prevents the loss of RBP by filtration in the kidney. At target cells, holo-RBP is recognized by STRA6, a plasma membrane protein that serves a dual role: it mediates uptake of retinol from extracellular RBP into cells, and it functions as a cytokine receptor that, upon binding holo-RBP, triggers a JAK/STAT signaling cascade. We previously showed that STRA6-mediated signaling underlies the ability of RBP to induce insulin resistance. However, the role that TTR, the binding partner of holo-RBP in blood, plays in STRA6-mediated activities remained unknown. Here we show that TTR blocks the ability of holo-RBP to associate with STRA6 and thereby effectively suppresses both STRA6-mediated retinol uptake and STRA6-initiated cell signaling. Consequently, TTR protects mice from RBP-induced insulin resistance, reflected by reduced phosphorylation of insulin receptor and glucose tolerance tests. The data indicate that STRA6 functions only under circumstances where the plasma RBP level exceeds that of TTR and demonstrate that, in addition to preventing the loss of RBP, TTR plays a central role in regulating holo-RBP/STRA6 signaling. 相似文献

Vitamin A is essential for vision and the growth/differentiation of almost all human organs. Plasma retinol binding protein (RBP) is the principle and specific carrier of vitamin A in the blood. Here we describe an optimized technique to produce and purify holo-RBP and two real-time monitoring techniques to study the transport of vitamin A by the high-affinity RBP receptor STRA6. The first technique makes it possible to produce a large quantity of high quality holo-RBP (100%-loaded with retinol) for vitamin A transport assays. High quality RBP is essential for functional assays because misfolded RBP releases vitamin A readily and bacterial contamination in RBP preparation can cause artifacts. Real-time monitoring techniques like electrophysiology have made critical contributions to the studies of membrane transport. The RBP receptor-mediated retinol transport has not been analyzed in real time until recently. The second technique described here is the real-time analysis of STRA6-catalyzed retinol release or loading. The third technique is real-time analysis of STRA6-catalyzed retinol transport from holo-RBP to cellular retinol binding protein I (CRBP-I). These techniques provide high sensitivity and resolution in revealing RBP receptor''s vitamin A uptake mechanism. 相似文献

It is well established that calcium is a critical signaling molecule in the transduction of taste stimuli within the peripheral taste system. However, little is known about the regulation and termination of these calcium signals in the taste system. The authors used Western blot, immunocytochemical, and RT-PCR analyses to evaluate the expression of multiple calcium binding proteins in mouse circumvallate taste papillae, including parvalbumin, calbindin D28k, calretinin, neurocalcin, NCS-1 (or frequenin), and CaBP. They found that all of the calcium binding proteins they tested were expressed in mouse circumvallate taste cells with the exception of NCS-1. The authors correlated the expression patterns of these calcium binding proteins with a marker for type II cells and found that neurocalcin was expressed in 80% of type II cells, whereas parvalbumin was found in less than 10% of the type II cells. Calretinin, calbindin, and CaBP were expressed in about half of the type II cells. These data reveal that multiple calcium binding proteins are highly expressed in taste cells and have distinct expression patterns that likely reflect their different roles within taste receptor cells. 相似文献

Objective: Retinol binding protein 4 (RBP4) has been implicated in metabolic disorders including type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM), but few studies have looked at transthyretin (TTR) with which RBP4 is normally bound to in the circulation. We report on the systemic levels of RBP4 and TTR and their associations with insulin resistance, obesity, prediabetes, and T2DM in Asian Indians.Methods: Age-matched individuals with normal glucose tolerance (NGT, n = 90), impaired glucose tolerance (IGT, n = 70) and T2DM (n = 90) were recruited from the Chennai Urban Rural Epidemiology Study (CURES). Insulin resistance was estimated using the homeostasis model assessment of insulin resistance (HOMA-IR). RBP4 and TTR levels were measured by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA).Results: Circulatory RBP4 and TTR levels (in μg/mL) were highest in T2DM (RBP4: 13 ± 3.9, TTR: 832 ± 310) followed by IGT (RBP4: 10.5 ± 3.2; TTR: 720 ± 214) compared to NGT (RBP4: 8.7 ± 2.5; TTR: 551 ± 185; P<.001). Compared to nonobese NGT individuals, obese NGT, nonobese T2DM, and obese T2DM had higher RBP4 (8.1 vs. 10.6, 12.1, and 13.2 μg/mL, P<.01) and TTR levels (478 vs. 737, 777, and 900 μg/mL, P<.01). RBP4 but not TTR was significantly (P<.001) correlated with insulin resistance even among NGT subjects. In regression analysis, RBP4 and TTR showed significant associations with T2DM after adjusting for confounders (RBP4 odds ratio [OR]: 1.107, 95% confidence interval [CI]: 1.008–1.216; TTR OR: 1.342, 95% CI: 1.165–1.547).Conclusion: Circulatory levels of RBP4 and TTR showed a significant associations with glucose intolerance, obesity, T2DM and RBP4 additionally, with insulin resistance.Abbreviations: BMI = body mass index CI = confidence interval HDL = high-density lipoprotein IGT = impaired glucose tolerance LDL = low-density lipoprotein NGT = normal glucose tolerance OGTT = oral glucose tolerance test OR = odds ratio RBP4 = retinol binding protein 4 T2DM = type 2 diabetes mellitus TTR = transthyretin WC = waist circumference 相似文献

Background
Bypass of foregut secreted factors promoting insulin resistance is hypothesized to be one of the mechanisms by which resolution of type 2 diabetes (T2D) follows roux-en-y gastric bypass (GBP) surgery.Aim
To identify insulin resistance-associated proteins and metabolites which decrease more after GBP than after sleeve gastrectomy (SG) prior to diabetes remission.Methods
Fasting plasma from 15 subjects with T2D undergoing GBP or SG was analyzed by proteomic and metabolomic methods 3 days before and 3 days after surgery. Subjects were matched for age, BMI, metformin therapy and glycemic control. Insulin resistance was calculated using homeostasis model assessment (HOMA-IR). For proteomics, samples were depleted of abundant plasma proteins, digested with trypsin and labeled with iTRAQ isobaric tags prior to liquid chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry analysis. Metabolomic analysis was performed using gas chromatography-mass spectrometry. The effect of the respective bariatric surgery on identified proteins and metabolites was evaluated using two-way analysis of variance and appropriate post-hoc tests.Results
HOMA-IR improved, albeit not significantly, in both groups after surgery. Proteomic analysis yielded seven proteins which decreased significantly after GBP only, including Fetuin-A and Retinol binding protein 4, both previously linked to insulin resistance. Significant decrease in Fetuin-A and Retinol binding protein 4 after GBP was confirmed using ELISA and immunoassay. Metabolomic analysis identified significant decrease of citrate, proline, histidine and decanoic acid specifically after GBP.Conclusion
Greater early decrease was seen for Fetuin-A, Retinol binding protein 4, and several metabolites after GBP compared to SG, preceding significant weight loss. This may contribute to enhanced T2D remission observed following foregut bypass procedures. 相似文献18.

Vitamin A (retinol) is absorbed in the small intestine, stored in liver, and secreted into circulation bound to serum retinol-binding protein (RBP4). Circulating retinol may be taken up by extrahepatic tissues or recycled back to liver multiple times before it is finally metabolized or degraded. Liver exhibits high affinity binding sites for RBP4, but specific receptors have not been identified. The only known high affinity receptor for RBP4, Stra6, is not expressed in the liver. Here we report discovery of RBP4 receptor-2 (RBPR2), a novel retinol transporter expressed primarily in liver and intestine and induced in adipose tissue of obese mice. RBPR2 is structurally related to Stra6 and highly conserved in vertebrates, including humans. Expression of RBPR2 in cultured cells confers high affinity RBP4 binding and retinol transport, and RBPR2 knockdown reduces RBP4 binding/retinol transport. RBPR2 expression is suppressed by retinol and retinoic acid and correlates inversely with liver retinol stores in vivo. We conclude that RBPR2 is a novel retinol transporter that potentially regulates retinol homeostasis in liver and other tissues. In addition, expression of RBPR2 in liver and fat suggests a possible role in mediating established metabolic actions of RBP4 in those tissues. 相似文献

Currently, a non-invasive method to estimate the degree of interstitial fibrosis (IF) in chronic kidney disease is not available in routine. The aim of our study was to evaluate the diagnostic performance of the measurement of urinary low molecular weight (LMW) protein concentrations as a method to determine the extent of IF. The urines specimen from 162 consecutive patients who underwent renal biopsy were used in the analysis. Numerical quantification software based on the colorimetric analysis of fibrous areas was used to assess the percentage IF. Total proteinuria, albuminuria, and the urinary levels of retinol binding protein (RBP), alpha1-microglobulin (α1MG), beta 2-microglobulin (β2MG), transferrin, and IgG immunoglobulins were measured. There was a significant correlation between the degree of IF and the RBP/creatinine (creat) ratio (R2: 0.11, p<0.0001). IF was associated to a lesser extent with urinary β2MG and α1MG; however, there was no association with total proteinuria or high molecular weight (HMW) proteinuria. The correlation between IF and RBP/creat remained significant after adjustment to the estimated glomerular filtration rate, age, body mass index, α1MG, and β2MG. The specificity of the test for diagnosing a fibrosis score of >25% of the parenchyma was 95% when using a threshold of 20 mg/g creat. In conclusion, RBP appears to be a quantitative and non-invasive marker for the independent prediction of the extent of kidney IF. Because methods for the measurement of urinary RBP are available in most clinical chemistry departments, RBP measurement is appealing for implementation in the routine care of patients with chronic kidney disease. 相似文献

The development of cryopreservation procedures for tissues has proven to be difficult in part because cells within tissue are more susceptible to intracellular ice formation (IIF) than are isolated cells. In particular, previous studies suggest that cell-cell interactions increase the likelihood of IIF by enabling propagation of ice between neighboring cells, a process thought to be mediated by gap junction channels. In this study, we investigated the effects of cell-cell interactions on IIF using three genetically modified strains of the mouse insulinoma cell line MIN6, each of which expressed key intercellular junction proteins (connexin-36, E-cadherin, and occludin) at different levels. High-speed video cryomicroscopy was used to visualize the freezing process in pairs of adherent cells, revealing that the initial IIF event in a given cell pair was correlated with a hitherto unrecognized precursor phenomenon: penetration of extracellular ice into paracellular spaces at the cell-cell interface. Such paracellular ice penetration occurred in the majority of cell pairs observed, and typically preceded and colocalized with the IIF initiation events. Paracellular ice penetration was generally not observed at temperatures >−5.65°C, which is consistent with a penetration mechanism via defects in tight-junction barriers at the cell-cell interface. Although the maximum temperature of paracellular penetration was similar for all four cell strains, genetically modified cells exhibited a significantly higher frequency of ice penetration and a higher mean IIF temperature than did wild-type cells. A four-state Markov chain model was used to quantify the rate constants of the paracellular ice penetration process, the penetration-associated IIF initiation process, and the intercellular ice propagation process. In the initial stages of freezing (>−15°C), junction protein expression appeared to only have a modest effect on the kinetics of propagative IIF, and even cell strains lacking the gap junction protein connexin-36 exhibited nonnegligible ice propagation rates. 相似文献
