The ConA-mediated interaction of yeast cells with macrophages was brought about in two steps. The first step involved the interaction of either macrophages or yeast cells with ConA, MConA or YConA in brief, respectively. The second step consisted of interacting the ConA-coated cells with their non-coated counterpart, yielding MConA-Y or M-YConA. The extent of yeast cell attachment to macrophages depends on the degree of saturation of ConA binding sites on the cell coated with ConA in the first step and on the temperature at which the two cell types interact. The temperature dependence in the range of 10–25 °C implies that cell-cell attachment is sensitive to the physical state of membrane lipids as reflected in increased lateral mobility of ConA receptors in the membrane plane. The extent of ConA-mediated cell association is not influenced significantly by colchicine, cytochalasin B (CB) or hydrocortisone. A mild treatment of macrophages with glutaraldehyde reduces, however, the association of yeast cells, further indicating a need for lateral mobility of ConA receptors. ConA-mediated yeast cell attachment could be totally reversed by α-methyl mannoside in the case of MConA-Y and only partially in the case of M-YConA. Yeast cell ingestion is highly temperature-dependent; in MConA-Y a 50% interiorization of the associated yeast cells is reached at 32 °C and detectable interiorization starts only above 19 °C, while in M-YConA a 50% value of interiorization is reached at 18 °C and about 15% of yeast cells are interiorized already at 5 °C. Interiorization of attached yeast cells is not affected by colchicine. Cytochalasin B (CB) (10 μg/ml) inhibits 82% of yeast interiorization in MConA-Y and only 12% in M-YConA. Hydrocortisone has a similar differential effect of inhibition of ingestion; at 25 °C inhibition in MConA-Y amounts to 78% and in M-YConA to 22%. Sodium azide inhibits 90% of interiorization of yeast cells in both MConA-Y and M-YConA. The following working hypothesis was proposed to explain both the characteristics of attachment and the remarkable difference in ingestion pattern of yeast cells in MConA-Y and M-YConA. ConA-mediated yeast cell attachment to macrophages involves multipoint interaction between the two cells achieved by a certain clustering of ConA receptors in the membrane plane. To achieve interiorization a higher extent of bridge formation between the cells is required, and a higher number of ConA-membrane receptors have to be recruited to the area of apposition of the two membranes. This requires lateral mobility of either ConA receptors conjugates (in the case of MConA) or of mobile non-crosslinked ConA receptors in macrophages interacting with YConA). Mobility of ConA receptor conjugates is more sensitive to membrane fluidity than that of non-crosslinked receptors and hence the differential temperature-dependence of ingestion. The effect of CB suggests an involvement of the cytoskeleton in the reorganization of ConA receptors at the membrane level. 相似文献

Adhesion of human skin fibroblasts : Effect of tetravalent, divalent and monovalent concanavalin A 总被引:1,自引:0,他引:1
Concanavalin A (ConA) pretreatment inhibited the adhesion of fibroblasts to plastic surface in a dose-dependent manner. The ConA effect was reversible and could be inhibited by α-methylmannoside. Pretreatment with cytochalasin B (CB) and colchicine increased the ConA effect. Divalent and monovalent ConA derivatives had no effect on the fibroblast adhesion. This indicates that ligand attachment to ConA receptors is not sufficient to prevent cell adhesion. The requirement of tetravalent ConA for inhibition of cell adhesion suggests that the decrease of lateral mobility of membrane components, which seems to be specific for tetravalent ConA, is responsible for the inhibition of cell adhesion. The enhancement of the ConA effect by colchicine and CB pretreatment suggests an involvement of microtubules and microfilaments in the mobility of ConA receptors of fibroblasts. 相似文献

Embryonic chick neural retina cells dissociated from retina tissue by treatment with EGTA (a calcium chelator) show an age-dependent decline in ability to agglutinate with concanavalin A (ConA). This developmental change in cell surface properties is not due to loss of ConA-binding sites, since mature retina cells can be rendered agglutinable by mild trypsinization. It is also not due to masking of ConA receptors, or to a decrease in their amount, since retina cells from late embryos (19 days) bind four times as much 125I-ConA as cells from early embryos (8 days). Our findings lead us to suggest that, as the retina differentiates the lateral mobility of ConA receptors in the cell membrane decreases resulting in a reduction of cell agglutinability; trypsinization of late embryo retina cells increases the mobility of the receptors and thereby facilitates their clustering by the lectin into a configuration conducive to cell agglutination.The ability of late embryo (19 day) retina cells dispersed with EGTA to agglutinate with ConA could be increased by still other treatments: by pre-incubation of the cell suspension in Tyrode's balanced salt solution (1 h, 37 °C); and by brief pre-exposure to glutaraldehyde. These two treatments did not enhance cell agglutination with wheat germ agglutinin (WGA). Glutaraldehyde treatment of trypsinized cells made them agglutinable with ConA also at 4 °C; cells treated otherwise agglutinated only at higher temperature. Surface-saturation of monodispersed retina cells with ConA at 37 °C—but not at 4 °C—prevented their agglutination with this lectin, but not with WGA; this inhibition was reversible by methyl a-D-glucopyranoside (αMG). 相似文献

Treatment with Sendai virus does affect the lateral mobility of cell surface components on cultured human cells (KB) and cultured mouse cells (3T3). Diffusion coefficients and mobile fractions of a fluorescent lipid analog, tetramethyl rhodamine-succinyl concanavalin A (ConA) and tetramethyl rhodamine-anti human β2 microglobulin antibodies on the cell surface were measured by fluorescence photobleaching recovery (FPR). Diffusion coefficients of receptors for ConA and for antibodies to β2 microglobulin (presumably histocompatibility antigens) were increased 2- to 3-fold by exposure to the ultraviolet inactivated virus at virus doses from 250 to 2 500 HAU/ml, regardless of whether the particular cells measured had been fused. No mobility enhancement was induced with trypsinized Sendai virus, nor by influenza virus, indicating a probable requirement for the Sendai virus F protein. Virus treatment reduced the diffusion coefficient of a lipid analog in 3T3 cells. The results are compatible with the hypothesis that the Sendai virus disrupts a mobility restraint system, perhaps cytoskeleton-membrane connections. 相似文献

Mobility modulation by local concanavalin A binding. Selectivity toward different membrane proteins 总被引:3,自引:0,他引:3

We have employed fluorescence photobleaching recovery to demonstrate selective immobilization of lymphocyte membrane proteins by localized concanavalin A (ConA) binding to the cell surface. Localized ConA binding was achieved by the binding of ConA coupled to paraformaldehyde-fixed platelets to mouse spleen lymphocytes. The effect of the localized cross-linking of ConA receptors on the lateral mobility of specific membrane proteins at regions distal to the ConA platelets was investigated. The diffusion of surface immunoglobulins and ConA receptors was inhibited above a threshold coverage (12%) of the upper lymphocyte surface by ConA platelets. In contrast, no effect was observed on the diffusion and aggregation of mouse histocompatibility antigens (H-2Kk) labeled with a fluorescent monoclonal antibody. Since the ConA modulation was shown to propagate through the cytoskeleton, these results indicate specificity in the interactions of membrane proteins with the cytoskeleton. This specificity enables a selective response of different membrane proteins to the ConA anchorage modulation. 相似文献

The mobility of concanavalin A (ConA) and ricin receptors from NS20 neuroblastoma and C6 glioma cells was studied using an electrophoretic technique. Cells attached to a solid support were exposed to an electrical field (12V cm−1) at room temperature. The distribution of lectin receptors on the cell surface was revealed by fluorescent conjugates of lectins and microscopic observation of the fixed cells. This technique allowed the estimation of the mobilities of lectin receptors either in free or liganded form, depending on the time at which the cells are labeled with lectins (either after or before electrophoresis). In line with previous observations [1] it is shown that in their free form ConA and ricin receptors are mobile all over the cell surface. Ligand binding induced an apparent receptor immobilization. Immobilization of ricin receptors from C6 glioma cells could be induced either by the multivalent or the monovalent form of the lectin indicating that cross-linking of receptors by the ligand did not play a predominant role in the process of receptor immobilization. Amphotericin B but not ionophores like valinomycin or gramicidin blocked ligand-induced receptor immobilization. It is concluded from this observation that the effect of amphotericin B is not related to its ionophoretic properties but more likely to its capacity to interact with membrane cholesterol. When cells were incubated at 37 °C extensive patching of lectin receptors could be observed. This process was also inhibited by amphotericin B. A model is proposed to account for a role of cholesterol in ligand-induced receptor immobilization and patching. 相似文献

Superficial ectoderm cells from early amphibian embryos maintain regional specializations of their cell surfaces, both in intact tissue and as single cells which have been dissociated with EDTA. The cells are adhesive on lateral and basal cell surfaces and non-adhesive on the apical surface. This study presents evidence that these cells display a regional segregation of ConA receptors. On dissociated superficial ectoderm cells, ConA receptors are restricted to lateral and basal surfaces, with the apical surface having few or no receptors. The results are discussed with respect to possible correlations with regional membrane differences in adhesiveness and in regard to the mechanisms which might be involved in maintaining the regional segregation of ConA receptors. 相似文献

The relationship between concanavalin A (ConA) receptors and the chemosensory behaviour of the ciliated protozoan Tetrahymena thermophila was studied using the peptide chemoattractants proteose peptone and fibroblast growth factor. Studies on the chemosensory behaviour in semisolid methylcellulose showed that 50 μg/ml ConA selectively inhibited the persistent element of swimming behaviour by reducing time runs of cells responding to proteose peptone from 12.2±4.5 min to 0.8±0.3 min. Methyl-alpha-D-mannoside, but not methyl-alpha-D-galactoside, abolished the inhibitory effect of ConA, suggesting that mannoside-containing ConA receptors are involved in maintaining a persistent swimming behaviour. Control experiments, carried out in liquids where persistent swimming is less important for cellular behaviour, showed that ConA did not affect proteose-peptone-induced chemoattraction under these conditions as measured by a two-phase assay for chemoattraction. Also, no inhibitory effect of ConA could be found on swimming rates when individual velocities of ConA-treated cells were determined. When tested in liquid chemoattraction assays, ConA was found to be a weak but significant chemoattractant. Studies of the cellular location of ConA receptors on the plasma membrane of starved cells showed an unequal distribution. A preferential clustering of receptors at the anterior end of the cell was observed when determined at high concentrations (100 μg/ml) of fluorescent ConA. Methyl-alpha-D-mannoside but not methyl-alpha-D-galactoside abolished the fluorescent ConA labelling, indicating a preferential clustering of these mannoside-containing receptors at the anterior part of the plasma membrane and cilia. At lower concentrations (25 μg/ml), FITC-ConA produced more general labelling of the entire cell membrane. The results suggest that ConA receptors are necessary for the persistent element of swimming and that binding of ConA to its receptors interferes with processes related to signal transduction rather than by limiting the free movement of cilia required for locomotion. The gradient of receptors seen at high FITC-ConA concentrations may be important for a putative spatial chemosensory mechanism, i.e. chemotaxis.Electronic supplementary material Electronic supplementary material is available for this article at and accessible for authorised users. 相似文献

The topographic distribution of ferritin-labelled concanavalin A (FT-ConA) bound to the surface membrane of mouse lymphocytes has been analysed by examining ultrathin sections and ghost membranes in the electron microscope. Binding of FT-ConA to lymphocytes at 37 °C did not induce redistribution of ConA receptors at any dose of the labelled lectin. In contrast, in cells treated with colchicine, FT-ConA induced both patch and cap formation. These findings suggest that the modulation of receptor mobility by colchicine occurs at the level of individual receptors. Ultrastructural observations revealed both microtubules and microfilaments in lymphocytes consistent with the suggestion that these cellular structures may be involved in the control of receptor mobility. Analyses using freeze-fracture methods indicated that the distribution of intramembranous particles is not correlated with either the movement of surface receptors or the modulation events. An hypothesis on the modulation of surface receptors by cytoplasmic structures is proposed on the basis of these and previous observations. 相似文献

Lectins modulate the internalization of recombinant interferon-alpha A and the induction of 2',5'-oligo(A) synthetase 总被引:1,自引:0,他引:1

After binding to specific cell surface receptors, interferon-alpha (IFN-alpha) along with its receptor is internalized by the cells. However, the physiological significance of the internalization of IFN is not known. We have found that the lectin concanavalin A (ConA), which does not inhibit the binding of 125I-rIFN-alpha A, inhibits both the internalization of 125I-rIFN-alpha A and the rIFN-alpha A-induced increase in the levels of 2',5'-oligo(A) synthetase mRNA and enzymatic activity in the B lymphoblastoid cell line Daudi. The reduced level of IFN-induced 2',5'-oligo(A) synthetase in ConA-treated cells was due neither to direct inhibition of the enzymatic activity nor to generalized inhibition of protein or RNA synthesis. The dose-response curves were similar for the effect of ConA to inhibit 125I-rIFN-alpha A internalization and 2',5'-oligo(A) synthetase induction. The correlation between the ConA-mediated inhibition of both 125I-rIFN-alpha A internalization and 2',5'-oligo(A) synthetase induction suggests that internalization of rIFN-alpha A plays a role in the responses to rIFN-alpha A. However, since ConA inhibits protein mobility in the plasma membrane, it is possible that ConA is also preventing aggregation of IFN receptors or interactions between IFN receptors and signal transducing proteins in the plasma membrane that may be necessary for responses to IFN. 相似文献

The stimulation of transformation of rabbit peripheral blood lymphocytes by Concanavalin A (ConA) has a narrow dose optimum, is reversible by α-
-methyl-mannopyranoside (MAM) and cultures that have been stimulated and reversed may be restimulated by removal of the blocking saccharide and re-addition of ConA. The kinetics of the stimulatory dose of ConA, the blocking dose of MAM, and the time of stimulation and blocking indicate a competitive binding of lymphocyte receptors and blocking saccharide for ConA. Most of the lymphocytes that respond to ConA become enlarged during the first 16–24 h after stimulation, although fully developed ‘blast’ cell transformation and mitosis do not occur until after approx. 40 h. Lymphocytes that are held in vitro prior to ConA stimulation gradually lose the ability to respond to ConA stimulation (delayed stimulation). Morphologic and metabolic analysis of ConA-stimulated and MAM blocked cultures demonstrate (1) that RNA synthesis gradually decreases in blocked cultures at a time that it is increasing in stimulated cultures; (2) that cells enlarged after ConA stimulation become smaller following MAM inhibition; (3) that the ability of blocked cells to be restimulated by ConA gradually decreases following MAM block (delayed restimulation). Lymphocyte activation requires the continued presence of the stimulant for consumation of the transformation process, and activated cells that have been blocked have a temporary ability to respond to restimulation at a time when cells that have not been preactivated are unable to respond. The requirement of increasing amounts of blocking MAM to reverse stimulation by ConA as the time of contact of ConA with the cells in culture increases is consistent with the concept that internalization, or stripping of mitogen or cellular receptors is the important cellular event initiating transformation. Blocking is achieved by permitting re-externalization of lectin or cell surface receptors. Stimulation requires the continued internalization or stripping of newly formed receptors by reaction with the stimulating mitogen during the entire culture period prior to initiation of DNA synthesis. 相似文献

The inhibitory effect of Concanavalin A (ConA) on the cell-to-cell adhesion was studied in starfish embryos. ConA reversibly blocked the formation of intercellular adhesion in embryos denuded of fertilization membrane as well as in normal embryos, without affecting cell division and thereby inhibiting the morphogenetic movement of blastulation. A large dose of ConA dissociated both denuded and normal embryos to single cells at blastula and gastrula stage. Succinyl ConA (Suc-ConA) has the same effect on cell-to-cell adhesion, though critical concentration was slightly higher than that of ConA. These effects of ConA or Suc-ConA were prevented by α-methyl-
-mannoside (αMM). Study of the binding of fluorescein-conjugated ConA to the cell surface showed that ConA receptors were present in the surface of fertilized egg and cells at all stages examined. These findings suggest that ConA receptors play an important role in cell-to-cell adhesion during the early morphogenesis of starfish. 相似文献

Increasing concentrations of concanavalin A (ConA) were found to increasingly inhibit immunologically specific cytotoxic T lymphocyte (CTL)-mediated cytolysis. Even concentrations of ConA that best enabled nonspecific cytolysis were found to inhibit immunologically specific cytolysis by the same population of effector cells. Higher concentrations of ConA inhibited both specific and nonspecific cytolysis. Similar increasing concentrations of succinyl ConA enabled nonspecific lysis by CTL but did not appreciably inhibit specific lysis by the same cells. Increasing concentrations of ConA inhibited cytolysis and capping of the Thy 1.2 surface antigen to comparable degrees in the same effector cell population. These results indicate that ConA may inhibit CTL-mediated cytolysis by interfering with the mobility of certain moieties on the effector cell surface. 相似文献

Modulation of receptors and cytotoxic response of tumor necrosis factor-alpha by various lectins 总被引:4,自引:0,他引:4
The effects of various lectins on the interaction of the human cervical carcinoma cell line ME-180 with recombinant human tumor necrosis factor-alpha (rTNF-alpha) was investigated. rTNF-alpha is known to have cytotoxic effects on this tumor cell line and has been reported to interact with these cells through a single class of specific high affinity receptors (Kd = 0.45 nM; approximately 1790 binding sites/cell). Exposure of cells to concanavalin A (ConA) causes an approximately 2-fold increase in rTNF-alpha receptors without any significant change in their affinity constant (Kd = 0.36 nM; approximately 3662 binding sites/cell). This increase in receptor number is dependent on temperature, the time of exposure and dose of ConA, and does not require the synthesis of new proteins. In spite of an increased binding of rTNF-alpha to cells, the cell killing induced by rTNF-alpha is totally blocked by ConA. Cells are also protected by this lectin from the synergistic cytotoxic effects of rTNF-alpha and recombinant human interferon-gamma. Furthermore, it was also found that ConA decreases the rate of internalization and dramatically inhibits the release and degradation of rTNF-alpha by the cells. These results, overall, demonstrate that ConA increases total number of binding sites for rTNF-alpha but blocks the transduction of the signal for the cytotoxic response. 相似文献

The synthesis of S100 protein increases toward the end of the exponential phase of growth of clonal rat glial cells C6 in monolayer culture. Moreover the synthesis of this protein can be increased by treatment of C6 cells with the lectin succinylated concanavalin A (succinyl ConA). In order to study the relationship between these two inductions of S100 protein we have isolated a cell line resistant to ConA from a population of C6 cells. The resistant cells (C6-ConAR) have less succinyl ConA receptors than C6 cells. In contrast to C6 cells, the synthesis of S100 protein does not increase in C6-ConAR cells after treatment with succinyl ConA. However in both cell types the synthesis of S100 protein increases toward the end of the exponential phase of growth. These results suggest firstly that the induction of S100 protein in C6 cells by succinyl ConA is mediated by an interaction of the lectin with its membrane receptors and secondly that the initial steps in the induction of S100 protein by the lectin are different from the initial steps in the induction of this protein which occurs toward the end of the exponential phase of growth in monolayer culture. 相似文献

Concanavalin A (ConA) induces lysis of zoospores of the aquatic fungus Blastocladiella emersonii. The rapid lysis can be completely blocked by α-methyl-
-mannoside. At lower temperatures the cells are more tolerant towards lysis compared with cells at room temperature. Dimeric ConA derivatives and Lens culinaris hemagglutinin A are less effective, whilst other lectins tested do not induce lysis at all. We suggest that cluster formation of adjacent ConA receptors precedes lysis. 相似文献
