Zusammenfassung In Gefrierschnitten lassen sich die Isoenzyme der Creatinkinase MM und BB durch spezifische Antikörper selektiv präzipitieren. Nach Sättigung der freien Antikörpervalenzen durch Zugabe von exogenem Antigen wird das im Schnitt fixierte Isoenzym durch eine histochemische Technik lokalisiert. Die Methode ermöglicht eine isoenzymspezifische Histochemie der Creatinkinase.Die Anwendung dieser Technik am menschlichen Gewebe führte zu folgenden Ergebnissen: CK-BB ließ sich sowohl in der Muskulatur als auch in der Mucosa des Colons nachweisen, während im Skelettmuskel zwischen cytoplasmatischer CK-MM und membrangebundenem Enzym im sarkoplasmatischen Reticulum und im Sarkolemm differenziert werdn konnte. In der Tonsille wurden CK-BB in epithelialem Gewebe, CK-MM in Muskelfasern lokalisiert. Das Isoenzymmuster von benachbarten einzelnen Schnitten wurde parallel immunologisch analysiert. Auf den Vorteil der Kombination von Immuntitration und Histchemie an gleichen Schnitten wird verwiesen.
Immunohistochemical localization of creatinkinase isoenzymes in human tissue
Summary The use of an immunohistochemical method permits the localization of creatine kinase isoenzymes MM and BB in tissue sections. Frozen sections are first incubated with the specific antiserum and secondly with the soluble antigen under investigation. The antibody fixed creatine kinase can then be visualized by the tetrazolium-salt linked histochemical reaction.In this way CK-BB was found in the smooth muscle and the mucosa of the human colon. In sections of skeletal muscle CK-MM was predominantly localized in the intermyofibrillar space. Membrane bound activity could be demonstrated in the sarcoplasmic reticulum and the surface membrane after elution of the cytoplasmic enzyme.In the human tonsilla CK-BB was localized in lymphatic and epithelial tissues, CK-MM in the muscle fibers. The isoenzyme patterns in single sections of tonsilla were in parallel determined by the immunotitration assay. The results indicate the usefulness of the combined application of histochemistry and immunotitration in serial tissue sections.

The time course and dose-response to proteolysis of three dimeric isozymes of creatine kinase, CK-MM (muscle), CK-BB (brain), and CK-MB (heart) and the homologous monomer, arginine kinase were compared. Chymotrypsin and trypsin cause a rapid and significant loss of intact CK-BB, but limited hydrolysis of CK-MM. After 1h of hydrolysis by chymotrypsin, 80% of CK-MM is intact as judged by quantification of monomers after electrophoresis in sodium dodecyl sulfate. While 50% of the intact monomers of CK-MB remain under these conditions, no CK-BB monomers are detected. These results indicate that treatment with chymotrypsin leads to a CK-MB devoid of the B-subunit. When treated with trypsin for 1h, CK-MM is totally resistant to hydrolysis and all CK-BB is highly degraded. However, CK-MB exhibits approximately 90% intact monomers, indicating survival of intact B-subunit in CK-MB. This suggests that heterodimerization of a B-subunit with an M-subunit may have a protective effect against hydrolysis by trypsin. In view of the considerably larger number of potentially tryptic sensitive sites on the muscle isozyme, the resistance of CK-MM and susceptibility of CK-BB dimers to trypsin implies that differences in subunit tertiary structure are a factor in proteolysis of the homodimeric isozymes. Arginine kinase is rapidly degraded by trypsin, but is minimally affected by chymotrypsin. The finding that both a monomeric (arginine kinase) and dimeric (CK-BB) phosphagen kinase are highly susceptible to proteolysis by trypsin indicates that quaternary structure is not, in and of itself, an advantage in resistance to proteolysis. Since both arginine kinase and muscle creatine kinase are resistant to chymotryptic hydrolysis, it seems unlikely that in general, the increased packing density, which may result from dimerization can account for the stability of CK-MM towards trypsin.  相似文献

Fluorescence emission intensity changes with two different excitation wavelengths were used to measure the unfolding rate constants of different domains of muscle type creatine kinase (CK-MM) according to the heterogeneity of aromatic amino acid distributions in the crystal structure of CK-MM. The results were compared with those of brain type creatine kinase (CK-BB) and dithio-bis(succinimidyl propionate) cross-linked CK-MM. CK-BB differed greatly in its distribution of aromatic amino acids in each domain and the unfolding process of cross-linked CK-MM was not accompanied by the dissociation of the dimer. The N-terminal domain of CK-MM was shown to be well protected by subunit interaction during the unfolding of CK-MM in 4 M urea. Dissociating the CK dimer in high urea concentration (6 M) eliminated the subunit protection. Subunit interactions are also important in preserving secondary structure and forming contracted conformation at low urea concentration.  相似文献

Creatine kinase activity and its isoenzymatic profile in rat intestinal mucose during normal development have been studied. Creatine kinase enzymatic activity increased stepwise during fetal development and the first week of life. An isoenzymatic pattern of exclusively CK-BB types occurred in all segments of the digestive tract during the early fetal stage. The isoenzyme profile of creatine kinase in the esophagic tissue with advancing maturation of the fetus shifted in the same way as in adults, with preferential concentration of CK-MM. However, CK-BB continued to be the main isoenzyme in the rest of the digestive tract. Our results show that rats are particularly suitable for experimental studies of intestinal creatine kinase isoenzymes.  相似文献

Studies on the stability of creatine kinase isozymes.   总被引:1,自引:0,他引:1  
Research on the stabilizing properties of creatine kinase isozymes CK-BB, CK-MB, and CK-MM showed that minor alteration of their sequence and structure influenced their stability significantly. An analysis of the stability of the isozymes in storage after freeze drying indicates that creatine kinase isozymes are all in monomer form because of the loss of subunit interactions. Freeze-drying leads to the oxidization of CK-BB and rearrangement of CK-MB. There are also differences in the unfolding of the isozymes in urea. CK-BB and CK-MB are unfolded in lower urea concentrations than CK-MM. Differences in the thermal unfolding were also examined by differential scanning calorimetry. This paper discusses the potential biological significance of these results.  相似文献

1. A monoclonal antibody (subclass immunoglobulin G1) has been raised against human brain-type creatine kinase (CK-BB). This antibody did not cross-react with either muscle-type creatine kinase (CK-MM) or heart-type creatine kinase (CK-MB). 2. The binding constant measured with native antibody was 6 X 10(8) M-1. In the presence of 2mM-dithiothreitol this constant was some 40-50-fold greater. 3. Partial reduction and alkylation showed that the increased binding was due to a direct effect on the antibody and was associated with concomitant cleavage of the heavy-heavy interchain disulphide bonds. The binding constant measured with Fab' fragments produced from reduced and alkylated antibody was similar to that shown by the native, unreduced antibody. 4. The molecular weight of the complex found in the absence of mercaptans was consistent with one antibody and one CK-BB molecule, whereas the molecular weight estimated with reduced and alkylated antibody was consistent with a complex of two antibodies and two CK-BB molecules. 5. It is proposed that mercaptans increase the flexibility of the hinge region of the antibody molecule, allowing the formation of a higher-order complex with increased avidity for the CK-BB dimer.  相似文献

Several enzymes that occur in multimolecular forms undergo transitions during myogenesis. Studies of such developmentally regulated isozymes (e.g. creatine kinase) indicate that muscle cells, cultured in the absence of neural tissue never develop fully mature isozyme patterns, but continue to express large amounts of 'housekeeping' isozymes that are characteristically present in fetal muscle. We studied two developmentally controlled isozymes, creatine kinase (CK) and phosphoglycerate mutase (PGAM) in normal human muscle, both aneurally cultured and co-cultured with fetal mouse spinal cord complex. Innervated cultures attain a greater degree of maturity than non-innervated cultures, as revealed by light and electron microscopy, showing well-developed sarcomeres and motor endplates after several weeks in vitro. During early stages of muscle regeneration in co-culture, characteristic fetal isozyme patterns of CK-BB and PGAM-BB activity predominate, as in aneural cultures. The muscle-specific isozymes (CK-MM; PGAM-MM) begin to appear as the muscle differentiates, and after 2-3 months in co-culture only, virtually all enzyme activity is due to the muscle-specific forms of CK and PGAM, as is normally observed in mature skeletal muscle in vivo.  相似文献

We report the expression of the human muscle (CK-MM) and brain (CK-BB) creatine kinases in Escherichia coli. The proteins have been purified to apparent homogeneity and several of their physical and kinetic properties investigated. In the process, we have conclusively verified the correct DNA sequence of the genes encoding the respective isozymes, and determined the correct primary structure and mass of the gene products. Alignment of the primary sequences of these two enzymes shows 81% sequence identity with each other, and no obvious gross structural differences. However, Western blot analyses demonstrated the general lack of antigenic cross-reactivity between these isozymes. Preliminary kinetic analyses show the K m and k cat values for the creatine and MgATP substrates are similar to values reported for other isozymes from various tissues and organisms. The human muscle and brain CKs do not, however, exhibit the synergism of substrate binding that is observed, for example, in rabbit muscle creatine kinase.  相似文献

The antigenic and physical properties of several representative invertebrate phosphagen kinases have been examined in order to further characterize the relationship between taxonomic assignment, quaternary protein structure and evolution of this class of enzymes. Antibodies against dimeric arginine kinase from the sea cucumber cross-reacted with dimeric arginine kinase purified from sea urchin eggs, but failed to react with extracts from any species known to contain monomeric arginine kinase. However, strong immunoreactivity was observed when antibodies against purified dimeric arginine kinase were reacted with pure creatine kinase from the human muscle (CK-MM) and brain (CK-BB) as well as extracts from several species known to contain dimeric creatine kinase. Of particular interest with regard to evolution of the phosphagen kinases, we confirm the presence of creatine kinase activity in the very primitive sponge Tethya aurnatium and detect a reaction with antibodies against dimeric, but not monomeric, arginine kinase. This observation is consistent with recent studies of phosphagen kinase evolution. Substrate utilization was very specific with creatine kinase using only creatine. Arginine kinase catalyzed phosphorylation of arginine but enzymes from several species could also phosphorylate canavanine. No activities were detected with d-arginine. Isoelectric points, evaluated for several pure arginine kinases suggest that generally the monomeric forms are more acidic than the dimeric proteins. Heat inactivation of arginine kinase in several species indicated a wide range of stabilities, which did not appear to be correlated with quaternary structure, but rather distinguished by the organism's environment. On the other hand, homodimeric arginine kinase proteins from species inhabiting disparate environments are sufficiently homologous to form a catalytically active hybrid.  相似文献

Ultrasensitive enzyme immunoassay method for the measurement of rat brain-type creatine kinase BB (CK-BB) was developed by use of purified antibodies specific to the B subunit of creatine kinase. The antibody immunoglobulin G was purified with immunoaffinity chromatography of the antiserum raised in rabbits by injecting the purified rat CK-BB. The assay system consisted of polystyrene balls with immobilized antibody F(ab')2 fragments and the same antibody Fab' fragments labeled with beta-D-galactosidase from Escherichia coli. The assay was specific to the B subunit of CK (CK-B), showing about 10% cross-reactivity with CK-MB, but it did not cross-react with CK-MM and neuron-specific gamma gamma enolase. The minimum detection limit of the assay was 0.1 pg or 1 amol CK-BB, being sufficiently sensitive for the measurement of CK-B contents in the isolated Purkinje cell bodies at the level of single cells. The average content of CK-B in a single Purkinje cell was 1.64 pg. The CK-B concentration in rat cerebellum (about 22 micrograms/mg protein) was about twofold higher than that (about 13 micrograms/mg protein) in the cerebrum. High levels (greater than 5 micrograms/mg protein) of CK-B were also found in the peripheral tissues such as gastrointestinal tract and urinary bladder, all of which are composed of smooth muscle. Immunohistochemical localization of CK-B antigens in the CNS revealed that the antigens is distributed not only in the neurons but also in the glial cells.  相似文献

An accurate and close follow-up of serum levels of thyroid hormones and various muscle markers (myoglobin, creatine kinase and its isoenzymes CK-MB and CK-BB, lactic dehydrogenase, alpha-hydroxybutyric dehydrogenase, etc.) was carried out in 10 hypothyroid patients on replacement therapy. The main muscle markers, creatine kinase and myoglobin, were elevated respectively in 9 and 6 subjects. In 1 male significant CK-MB traces were measured, while in 1 woman significant CK-BB amounts were assayed. Significant correlations between patients' thyroid hormones and the levels of the muscle parameters were found. The rate of normalization of thyroid hormones and muscle markers in relation to replacement therapy was also studied. Myoglobin and creatine kinase have proved to be the best indicators of the hypothyroid myopathy, since they are sensitive for the early detection of muscle involvement due to the metabolic disorder and are closely correlated to the metabolic conditions of patients.  相似文献

Growth, protein synthesis and expression of creatine kinase (CK) by embryonic chick myogenic cells are inhibited by vitamin D and certain of its metabolites. 25-OH cholecalciferol was most active in concentrations of 10−5–10−6 M, with cholecalciferol and ergocalciferol less active in that order. Ergosterol had no activity of this sort. Inhibition of CK was most marked on the 4th and 5th day of culture and was due to suppression of the appearance of CK-MM and MB. CK-BB was not affected and CK-MB was more affected than CK-BB. Skin fibroblasts by comparison were slightly stimulated in growth at 10−6 M and much less affected at 10−5 M than the myogenic cells. It is suggested that vitamin D has a direct effect upon the muscle cell, to cause a selective diminution in the production of certain polypeptides.  相似文献

IgA-linked creatine kinase (CK, EC 2.7.3.2) is a macro CK type 1 isoenzyme that has an identical electrophoretic mobility to CK-MB. Its presence has the potential of causing misdiagnosis of myocardial infarction. Mixing anti-CK-B antiserum with the sample prior to electrophoresis did not unequivocally distinguish between the two isoenzymes. Similarly, anti-human IgG and IgM antibodies were also ineffective. However, the IgA-linked isoenzyme band was removed by anti-human IgA antiserum. While anti-CK-M antibodies did not affect the electrophoretic mobility of IgA-linked CK-BB, the antibody eliminated both the CK-MB and CK-MM bands. Thus, specific anti-IgA and anti-CK-M antibodies may be used to establish the presence of the myocardial isoenzyme.  相似文献

In vertebrates, phosphocreatine and ATP are continuously interconverted by the reversible reaction of creatine kinase in accordance with cellular energy needs. Sarcoma tissue and its normal counterpart, creatine-rich skeletal muscle, are good source materials to study the status of creatine and creatine kinase with the progression of malignancy. We experimentally induced sarcoma in mouse leg muscle by injecting either 3-methylcholanthrene or live sarcoma 180 cells into one hind leg. Creatine, phosphocreatine and creatine kinase isoform levels decreased as malignancy progressed and reached very low levels in the final stage of sarcoma development; all these parameters remained unaltered in the unaffected contralateral leg muscle of the same animal. Creatine and creatine kinase levels were also reduced significantly in frank malignant portions of human sarcoma and gastric and colonic adenocarcinoma compared with the distal nonmalignant portions of the same samples. In mice, immunoblotting with antibodies against cytosolic muscle-type creatine kinase and sarcomeric mitochondrial creatine kinase showed that both of these isoforms decreased as malignancy progressed. Expressions of mRNA of muscle-type creatine kinase and sarcomeric mitochondrial creatine kinase were also severely downregulated. In human sarcoma these two isoforms were undetectable also. In human gastric and colonic adenocarcinoma, brain-type creatine kinase was found to be downregulated, whereas ubiquitous mitochondrial creatine kinase was upregulated. These significantly decreased levels of creatine and creatine kinase isoforms in sarcoma suggest that: (a) the genuine muscle phenotype is lost during sarcoma progression, and (b) these parameters may be used as diagnostic marker and prognostic indicator of malignancy in this tissue.  相似文献

1. Replacement of fetal calf serum and chicken embryo extract by Ultroser G and rat brain extract during the proliferation phase resulted in a higher maturation grade of cultured rat muscle cells after 7 days of differentiation, on base of the percentage of the muscle specific isoenzyme of creatine kinase (CK-MM). 2. Furthermore, the activities of creatine kinase, citrate synthase, cytochrome c oxidase and hexokinase were significantly higher. 3. Compared to the enzyme activities in m. quadriceps of 10 day-old rat and m. quadriceps, m. soleus and m. extensor digitorum longus of young adult rats, the metabolic capacity of cultured myotubes most closely resembles that of the first muscle. 4. Paralysis with tetrodotoxin caused a slight decrease of the creatine kinase activity and the percentage of CK-MM of cultured myotubes and an increase of the activities of hexokinase, phosphorylase and AMP deaminase. 5. Electrical stimulation performed at different frequencies and time periods had no effect on the enzyme activities of cultured rat muscle cells. 6. Only the AMP deaminase activity was decreased after intense electrical stimulation.  相似文献

Creatine kinase (CK) activity in plasma obtained non-invasively from adult healthy, Sprague-Dawley, male rats was found to be 528 +/- 270 U/L (N = 17), a value which was 7 times that obtained in human specimens. Agarose gel electrophoresis revealed that the only detectable CK isoenzyme present was CK-BB, in contrast to the human serum isoenzyme which was CK-MM. Furthermore, it was found that the rat CK-BB could be detected using an RIA technique designed to quantitate human CK-BB occasionally present in blood after brain injury (rat CK-BB = 84.5 +/- 55.2 micrograms/L, N = 17, human CK-BB: Not detectable). It was thus possible to calculate the CK-BB specific activity (SA) in rat plasma using total CK assay and RIA (rat CK-BB SA = 6.25 +/- 3.87 U/micrograms, N = 17). When six rats (156 +/- 23 g) were treated with lead acetate in the drinking water (26 mM) for 3 weeks, the CK-BB SA rose to 18 +/- 5.8 U/micrograms (P less than .02). At this point the electrophoresis pattern of the CK-BB showed a transient change from a single band to a doublet. The dose was then increased to 52 mM for 6 weeks, during which time the CK-BB SA declined steadily to 1.6 +/- 0.6, a level significantly less than that of the untreated animals (p less than .02). The results suggest that chronic lead treatment evokes a biphasic response in CK-BB SA with the initial release of enzyme of high SA from tissues. Further treatment apparently results in an inactivation of the enzyme within lead sensitive tissues.  相似文献

Creatine kinase activity (EC 2.7.3.2.) has been demonstrated in myocardium and skeletal muscle from rats by a method based on the incubation of cryostat sections with a polyvinyl alcohol-containing medium and the use of auxiliary enzymes. Hexokinase and glucose-6-phosphate dehydrogenase were spread on object glasses before mounting the sections to be incubated. In this way, the auxiliary enzymes were interposed between glass slide and section thus preventing loss of formazan generated within the sections. Creatine kinase activity was found to be localized in finely dispersed form along the myofibrils and as large granules in the sarcoplasm of myocardium and skeletal muscle. The formazan produced specifically by creatine kinase (test minus control), as measured cytophotometrically at 585 nm, was completely inhibited by 2 mM 2,4-dinitrofluorobenzene, a specific inhibitor of creatine kinase activity. The control reaction was unaffected by the inhibitor. The results obtained with the present method are similar to results obtained with the far more complicated semipermeable membrane technique. The introduction of auxiliary enzymes in the polyvinyl alcohol method enables the development of histochemical methods for many enzymes by linking the reactions to a dehydrogenase reaction.  相似文献

No specific abnormalities have been reproducibly manifested in aneurally cultured muscle of Duchenne muscular dystrophy (DMD) patients. We now report that the accumulation of the muscle-"specific" isozyme of creatine kinase (CK-MM) was significantly and preferentially impaired in long-term innervated contracting muscle fibers cultured from 4 DMD patients (DMD-InnCMFs) compared to: i) their noninnervated sister-cultured muscle fibers, and ii) innervated contracting control cultured human muscle fibers (Control-InnCHMFs). Accumulation of other muscle-"specific" isozymes (MSIs), viz. glycogen phosphorylase, phosphoglycerate mutase, and lactic dehydrogenase, was not significantly impaired. We have not observed preferentially-impaired CK-MM accumulation in any Control-InnCHMFs from 22 patients (children and adults) with a variety of neuromuscular diseases. There was no apparent difference between DMD-InnCMFs and Control InnCHMFs regarding: acceptance of innervation; neuronally-driven, virtually continuous muscle-fiber contractions; characteristic myofiber organization by phase-contrast microscopy, and increased longevity of the innervated fibers.  相似文献

It is commonly assumed that creatine kinase (CK) activity in plasma is related to the state of an inflammatory response at 24-48 h, and also it has shown biphasic patterns after a marathon run. No information is available on CK isoenzymes after an ultra-marathon run. The purpose of the present study is to examine the CK isoenzymes after a 200 km ultra-marathon run and during the subsequent recovery. Blood samples were obtained during registration 1 2 h before the 200-km race and during the race at 100 km, 150 km and at the end of 200 km, as well as after a 24 h period of recovery. Thirty-two male ultra-distance runners participated in the study. Serum CPK showed a marked increase throughout the race and 24 h recovery period (p < 0.001). Serum CK during the race occurs mostly in the CK-MM isoform and only minutely in the CK-MB isoform and is unchanged in the CK-BB isoform. High-sensitivity C-reactive protein (hs-CRP), oestradiol, AST and ALT increased significantly from the pre-race value at 100 km and a further increase took place by the end of the 200 km run. The results of our study demonstrate a different release pattern of creatine kinase after an ultra-distance (200 km) run compared to the studies of marathon running and intense eccentric exercise, and changes in several biomarkers, indicative of muscle damage during the race, were much more pronounced during the latter half (100–200 km) of the race. However, the increases in plasma concentration of muscle enzymes may reflect not only structural damage, but also their rate of clearance.  相似文献

Previous studies have suggested that MM creatine kinase is a muscle-specific protein and is not present in adult brain tissue. We have isolated a protein from human brain with an apparent molecular weight of 43,000 as determined by sodium dodecyl sulfate-polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis which is identical to the muscle M creatine kinase isoenzyme subunit at all 30 sequenced amino acid residues and possesses creatine kinase enzymatic activity following nondenaturing agarose-gel electrophoresis. Immunohistochemistry localizes M creatine kinase to discrete areas of adult human brain. Northern blot analysis of both total and poly(A)-selected RNA isolated from brain did not detect M creatine kinase mRNA. However, polymerase chain reaction amplification of cDNA synthesized from human placenta, heart, and brain mRNA detected M creatine kinase message in both heart and brain but not placenta which contains no detectable M creatine kinase protein. N1E115 and NS20Y, mouse neuroblastoma cell lines which have been used as models of neural cell differentiation, were found also to express MM creatine kinase. Moreover, a transiently transfected reporter gene with 4,800 base pairs of M creatine kinase upstream region fused to chloramphenicol acetyltransferase was expressed during differentiation of these neural cell lines. In summary, MM creatine kinase is present in human brain and we suggest the M creatine kinase upstream region is sufficient to modulate M creatine kinase expression in certain neuronal cells and may be regulated independently from other muscle genes.  相似文献
