It is shown that infection of chick embryo fibroblasts with agents of paratrachoma and meningopneumonia Halprowiaceae (Chlamydiaceae) causes a sharp decrease of the activities of lysosomal enzymes, e.g. acidic alpha-glucosidase, beta-glucuronidase, beta-galactosidase, alpha-mannosidase, acid phosphatase, etc. The activity of cytosol enzymes (neutral alpha-glucosidase, amylo-1,6-glucosidase) does not change, however. A decrease in the activities of lysosomal enzymes in infected fibroblasts occurs some time later after inoculation and is due to a release of lysosomal enzymes from the fibroblasts into the culture medium, without loss of cell integrity. No changes in the activity of lysosomal enzymes in fibroblasts and culture medium is observed in the case of inoculation of cells with a killed agents, as well as after contact of cells with a suspension of normal chick embryo yolk sacs. The release of lysosomal enzymes from halprowiae-infected chick embryo fibroblasts probably occurs by the exocytosis. 相似文献

The content of 32P-phosphorylated residues of purified extracellular N-acetyl-β-hexosaminidase obtained from the fibroblasts of I-cell disease patients was compared to that of control cells hydrolase. The analyses indicated a 60-fold decrease of the radioactivity per unit enzyme activity in the hydrolase synthesized by the patient's fibroblasts compared to the normal enzyme. Electrofocusing demonstrated again a marked decrease in the 32P-content of the I-cell hydrolase while the control enzyme showed the presence of radioactivity in both isozymes, namely hexosaminidase A and hexosaminidase B. Most of the radioactivity could be removed from the hydrolase following incubation with alkaline phosphatase, thus indicating its phosphoester linkage.Since phosphorylated sugar residues on lysosomal enzymes function as recognition marker for their transport to the lysosomal compartment and for their specific uptake by fibroblasts, the deficiency of phosphorylated residues on the I-cell hydrolase explains the low intracellular and high extracellular lysosomal enzyme levels observed in this disease. 相似文献

Human lymphoblast and fibroblast cell lines from a patient with I-cell disease and normal individuals were characterized with respect to certain properties of UDP-N-acetylglucosamine:lysosomal enzyme precursor N-acetylglucosamine phosphotransferase. The enzyme isolated from normal lymphoblast and fibroblast cell lines expressed similar kinetic properties, substrate specificities and subcellular localizations. Coincident with the severe reduction of N-acetylglucosamine phosphotransferase activity in both I-cell fibroblast and lymphoblast cell lines, there was an increased secretion of several lysosomal enzymes compared to normal controls. Subsequent examination of N-acetyl-beta-D-hexosaminidase secreted by the I-cell lymphoblasts demonstrated a significant increase in adsorption of the I-cell enzyme to Ricinus communis agglutinin, a galactose-specific lectin. However, the I-cell lymphoblasts did not exhibit the significant decrease in intracellular lysosomal activities seen in I-cell fibroblasts. Our results suggest that lymphoblasts not only represent an excellent source for the purification of N-acetylglucosamine phosphotransferase, but in addition, represent a unique system for studying alternate mechanisms involved in the targeting of lysosomal enzymes. 相似文献

Increasing the incubation temperature of cystinotic fibroblasts to 40 or 43 degrees C produces a 70-80% decrease in lysosomal cystine content within 24-48 h. This effect is probably mediated by an altered substrate affinity for another lysosomal transport protein. 相似文献

A 2.8-fold accumulation of ceramide was demonstrated in cultured skin ftbroblasts from a patient with Farber's disease, an inborn error of metabolism in which acid ceramidase activity is deficient. To investigate the role of acid ceramidase in the metabolism of ceramide in fibroblasts, we have investigated the lysosomal degradation of ceramide that was taken up by fibroblasts from an exogenous lipid suspension. Fluorescent 4-nitrobenz-2-oxa-1,3-diazole-7-aminododecanoyl-sphingosine (NBD-ceramide) from an exogenous ceramide suspension was incorporated into the intracellular structures of fibroblasts at 37 °C. Study of the cellular uptake of exogenous [3H]oleylsphingosine showed that the rate of ceramide accumulation was nearly identical in Farber's disease and normal fibroblasts. The deficiency of acid ceramidase in Farber's fibroblasts resulted in the decrease of cellular degradation and uptake of ceramide and the increase of retention time of ceramide in these diseased cells. Studies of subcellular fractionation of these fibroblasts showed that the accumulated ceramide was located in the lysosomal fraction. As a result, the density of the lysosomal fraction of Farber's fibroblasts was found to be less than that of controls. These results suggest the defect of cellular metabolism in this inherited disease is located within the lysosome. 相似文献

An accumulation of ceramide associated with the deficiency of acid ceramidase has been demonstrated in cultured diploid skin fibroblasts from a patient with Farber's disease. We extend this observation to investigate the lysosomal localization of accumulated ceramide and the abnormalities of lysosomes caused by this ceramide accumulation in Farber's diseased fibroblasts. We have found that the lysosomal fraction isolated from Farber's diseased fibroblasts by a subcellular fractionation procedure is markedly low in density compared with that of normal fibroblasts and is separated from other subcellular organellers. Ultrastructural studies of the isolated lysosomal fraction from Farber's diseased fibroblasts showed in mixed population of intact and swollen vesicles with a lysosomal appearance. Examination under high magnification clearly demonstrated lysosomal inclusions which contain lamellar and curvilinear membranes and resembled those seen in the intact fibroblasts. Subcellular localization of Farber's fibroblasts showed that the accumulated [3H]ceramide from the culture medium was predominantly localized in the lysosomal fraction with a markedly low density and very little was found to be associated with other cellular membranes. Our finding that ceramide is accumulated in the lysosomal fraction of Farber's fibroblasts and that these cells also show membranous inclusions strongly suggests that the accumulation of ceramide is directly involved in the formation of lysosomal inclusions. 相似文献

The impact of an altered endocytic environment on the biogenesis of lysosomes was studied in fibroblasts of patients suffering from sialic acid storage disease (SASD). This inherited disorder is characterized by the accumulation of acidic monosaccharides in lysosomal compartments and a concomitant decrease of their buoyant density. We demonstrate that C-terminal trimming of the lysosomal cysteine proteinase cathepsin B is inhibited in SASD fibroblasts. This late event in the biosynthesis of cathepsin B normally takes place in mature lysosomes, suggesting an impaired biogenesis of these organelles in SASD cells. When normal fibroblasts are loaded with sucrose, which inhibits transport from late endosomes to lysosomes, C-terminal cathepsin B processing is prevented to the same extent. Further characterization of the terminal endocytic compartments of SASD cells revealed properties usually associated with late endosomes/prelysosomes. In addition to a decreased buoyant density, SASD "lysosomes" show a reduced acidification capacity and appear smaller than their normal counterparts. We conclude that the accumulation of small non-diffusible compounds within endocytic compartments interferes with the formation of mature lysosomes and that the acidic environment of the latter organelles is a prerequisite for C-terminal processing of lysosomal hydrolases. 相似文献

To better understand the role of lysosomes in apoptosis, we compared the responses to apoptotic stimuli of normal fibroblasts with those of inclusion cells (I-cells), i.e., fibroblasts with impaired function of lysosomal enzymes due to their missorting and ensuing nonlysosomal localization. Although both cell types did undergo apoptosis when exposed to the lysosomotropic detergent MSDH, the redox-cycling quinone naphthazarin, or the protein kinase inhibitor staurosporine, I-cells exerted a markedly decreased response to these agonists than did normal fibroblasts. Furthermore, leupeptin and pepstatin A (inhibitors of cysteine and aspartic proteases, respectively) suppressed staurosporine-induced apoptosis of normal fibroblasts, whereas survival of I-cells was unaffected. These findings give further support for the involvement of lysosomal enzymes in apoptosis and suggest I-cells as a suitable model for studying the role of lysosomes in programmed cell death. 相似文献

The influence of the benzo[c]phenanthridine alkaloid sanguinarine on some lysosomal enzyme activities was investigated. Sanguinarine inhibits lysosomal hydrolases in homogenates of cultured mouse fibroblasts. After incubation of mouse fibroblasts in culture with 100 microM sanguinarine an approximately 50% decrease in the activities of N-acetyl-beta,D-glucosaminidase (NAGA), beta-galactosidase (GAL), arylsulfatase and acid lipase was observed. Because the biological activity of sanguinarine might arise from the interaction of its iminium cation with enzyme thiol groups, we compared its effect on NAGA, GAL and acid phosphatase (AcP) activities with the effects of SH-specific reagents p-chloromercuribenzoic acid (CPMA) and N-ethylmaleimide (NEM). Treatment of lysosomal fractions with millimolar concentrations of sanguinarine induces a dose-dependent inhibition of the enzymes; for example, 0.6 mM sanguinarine causes approximately a 40% decrease in AcP and NAGA activities. NEM has similar effects, and increasing the preincubation temperature from 0 degrees C to 37 degrees C intensifies the inhibition due to both agents. CPMA also inhibits the activity of GAL (IC50 0.7 microM), AcP (IC50 12.5 microM) and NAGA (IC50 6.8 microM) in a dose-dependent manner but is more potent than sanguinarine or NEM. Comparative analysis of the primary structures of these enzymes using the program BLAST reveals the presence of highly conserved cysteine residues, which confirms the importance of thiol-groups for their activities. Thus, both the experimental observations obtained in this study and the literature data imply a significant role of redox-based mechanisms in regulating lysosomal functional activity. 相似文献

Incubation of normal human fibroblasts with 1–5 μM chloroquine at physiological pH for 8 hr produces granular cytoplasmic inclusions, release of lysosomal enzymes into the medium and decrease of intracellular lysosomal enzyme activities. The effects are dose dependent and reversible. The uptake of arylsulfatase A into fibroblasts genetically deficient in arylsulfatase A (grown from skin biopsies of patients with metachromatic leukodystrophy) is completely inhibited by pretreating the cells with 5 μM chloroquine. Arylsulfatase A, which has been taken up as exogenous enzyme from the medium into the cells, is partially released into the culture medium upon incubation with chloroquine. The data suggest that chloroquine competes with the binding of lysosomal enzymes to the cell membrane and to the membranes of pinocytotic vacuoles and causes release of previously internalized exogenous enzyme. 相似文献

Intercellular exchange of lysosomal hydrolases between mutant human fibroblasts and other cell types

Human fibroblasts with a genetic deficiency of a single lysosomal enzyme and fibroblasts from a patient with ‘I-cell’ disease with a multiple deficiency of lysosomal hydrolases were used as recipient cells in studies on recognition and uptake of β-N-acetylhexosaminidase (hexosaminidase), β-glucuronidase and β-galactosidase. Normal human fibroblasts, and fibroblasts, hepatocytes and hepatoma cells from the rat were used as donor cells. The release of hexosaminidase was found to be similar among these different cell types, but the extracellular activities of β-glucuronidase and β-galactosidase were much higher in the rat cell cultures than in cultures of normal human fibroblasts. The enzymes released by rat fibroblasts were ingested by deficient human fibroblasts; enzyme from normal human fibroblasts was shown to be taken up by rat fibroblasts by means of electrophoresis. This indicates that reciprocal transfer of lysosomal hydrolases occurs between human and rat fibroblasts. Rat hepatocytes released hydrolases that were poorly taken up by human recipient fibroblasts and uptake of human fibroblast enzyme was not detected in the hepatocytes. Rat hepatoma cells, on the other hand, released lysosomal enzymes that were taken up by human deficient cells with a higher efficiency than those from fibroblasts. The uptake was subject to competitive inhibition by mannose 6-phosphate, the kinetics of which were comparable with those reported for ‘high-uptake’ forms of lysosomal enzymes [1–2]. Electrophoretic studies showed that rat hepatoma cells were not only capable of ingesting hexosaminidase from normal human fibroblasts, but also defectively processed enzyme [4–5] released by ‘I-cells’. These findings make rat hepatoma cells a useful model for the study of recognition and uptake of lysosomal enzymes. 相似文献

Cellular senescence is an irreversible growth phase characteristic of normal cells. We have found that human senescent fibroblasts can be induced to undergo programmed cell death (apoptosis) by ceramide, TNF-alpha, or okadaic acid. The most profound effects were induced by TNF-alpha and okadaic acid treatment. In the present study, we also evaluated the contribution of lysosomal activation as a possible mechanism underlying the induction of apoptosis. Four lysosomal enzyme activities were measured: beta-galactosidase, alpha-galactosidase A, beta-glucoronidase, and acid phosphatase. Using an in situ assay, we have found that the activity of beta-galactosidase, which is also a biochemical marker of senescence, is induced in young proliferating fibroblasts following exposure to all three apoptotic inducing agents. The other enzymes were not significantly induced in young fibroblasts following exposure to agents that induce apoptosis. During replicative senescence, three of the four lysosomal enzymes tested (beta-galactosidase, alpha-galactosidase A, and beta-glucoronidase) are constitutively expressed at high levels. TNF-alpha was the only agent that induced lysosomal activity in senescent fibroblasts, of which only alpha-galactosidase A activity was induced. Our studies show that senescent fibroblasts can be induced to undergo apoptosis in a signal-dependent manner. However, the lysosomal enzymes examined do not appear to be correlated with apoptotic induction. 相似文献

Ultrastructural and immunocytochemical study of skin fibroblasts from normal and sialidosis patients
The objectives of this study were to analyze morphologically, morphometrically and immunocytochemically the lysosomal compartment of normal fibroblasts and of fibroblasts with neuraminidase deficiency. The immunocytochemical analyses consisted of quantifying the distribution of saposins and -galactosidase in the lysosomes of these cells to test the hypothesis that neuraminisdase deficiency is associated with an impairment in the transport of these proteins to the lysosomal compartment. To test this idea, cultured skin fibroblasts of patients with or without sialidosis were prepared for electron microscopy and probed with antibodies against lysosomal -galactosidase and lysosomal saposins. The lysosomes of the affected cells had an abnormal accumulation of incompletely digested membranes which was associated with a significant lowering in the density of antigenic sites per lysosome. However, due to a significant increase in the number of lysosomes per affected cell, the total number of antigenic sites in control and neuraminidase deficient cells was similar. This presumably compensatory effect indicates that although the rate of production of -galactosidase and saposins remains unchanged, the transport of these molecules to the lysosomes is somehow affected. Our data also indicate that in the fibroblasts, lysosomes require a normal concentration of the three enzymes to maintain neuraminidase activity and sphingolipid degradation. 相似文献

Sandhoff disease (SD) is a lysosomal storage disorder due to mutations in the gene encoding for the β-subunit of β-hexosaminidase, that result in β-hexosaminidase A (αβ) and β-hexosaminidase B (ββ) deficiency. This leads to the storage of GM2 ganglioside in endosomes and lysosomes, which ends in a progressive neurodegeneration. Currently, very little is known about the biochemical pathways leading from GM2 ganglioside accumulation to pathogenesis. Defects in transport and sorting by the endosomal–lysosomal system have been described for several lysosomal storage disorders. Here, we have investigated the endosomal–lysosomal compartment in fibroblasts from SD patients and observed that both late endosomes and lysosomes, but not early endosomes, have a higher density in comparison with normal fibroblasts. Moreover, Sandhoff fibroblasts have an intracellular distribution of terminal endocytic organelles that differs from the characteristic perinuclear punctate pattern observed in normal fibroblasts and endocytic vesicles also appear larger. These findings reveal the occurrence of an alteration in the terminal endocytic organelles of Sandhoff fibroblasts, suggesting an involvement of this compartment in the disruption of cell metabolic and signalling pathways and in the onset of the pathological state. 相似文献

Recapture of lysosomal enzymes secreted by fibroblasts was inhibited by growing the cells in the presence of either free or immobilized antibodies against lysosomal enzymes or in the presence of phosphorylated carbohydrates known to interact with the cell-surface receptors for lysosomal enzymes. The following results were obtained. 1. Conditions that prevent recapture of released lysosomal enzymes increase the rate of extracellular accumulation of these enzymes up to twice that of controls. 2. Growing cells for 12 days in the presence of 0.5mm-mannose 6-phosphate, which decreases β-N-acetylglucosaminidase endocytosis to less than 10% of that of controls, has no effect on the intracellular activity of this and four other lysosomal enzymes. 3. Growing cells for 4 days in the presence of 50mm-mannose 6-phosphate, which is a 1000-fold higher concentration than that required for 50% inhibition of lysosomal enzyme endocytosis, leads to a 4-fold increase in extracellular β-N-acetylglucosaminidase accumulation and a decrease in intracellular enzyme. These results give evidence that, in fibroblasts, transfer of lysosomal enzymes into lysosomes does not require secretion before a receptor-mediated recapture [Hickman & Neufeld (1972) Biochem. Biophys. Res. Commun. 49, 992–999]. We propose that (a) lysosomal enzymes are present in a receptor-bound form in those vesicles that fuse with the cell membrane, (b) the major part of the lysosomal enzyme cycles via the cell surface in a receptor-bound form and (c) only a minor part of the lysosomal enzyme is released into the extracellular space during its life cycle. 相似文献

Oxidative phosphorylation system (OXPHOS) deficiencies are rare diseases but constitute the most frequent inborn errors of metabolism. We analyzed the autophagy route in 11 skin fibroblast cultures derived from patients with well characterized and distinct OXPHOS defects. Mitochondrial membrane potential determination revealed a tendency to decrease in 5 patients' cells but reached statistical significance only in 2 of them. The remaining cells showed either no change or a slight increase in this parameter. Colocalization analysis of mitochondria and autophagosomes failed to show evidence of increased selective elimination of mitochondria but revealed more intense autophagosome staining in patients' fibroblasts compared with controls. Despite the absence of increased mitophagy, Parkin recruitment to mitochondria was detected in both controls' and patients' cells and was slightly higher in cells harboring complex I defects. Western blot analysis of the autophagosome marker LC3B, confirmed significantly higher levels of the protein bound to autophagosomes, LC3B-II, in patients' cells, suggesting an increased bulk autophagy in OXPHOS defective fibroblasts. Inhibition of lysosomal proteases caused significant accumulation of LC3B-II in control cells, whereas in patients' cells this phenomenon was less pronounced. Electron microscopy studies showed higher content of late autophagic vacuoles and lysosomes in OXPHOS defective cells, accompanied by higher levels of the lysosomal marker LAMP-1. Our findings suggest that in OXPHOS deficient fibroblasts autophagic flux could be partially hampered leading to an accumulation of autophagic vacuoles and lysosomes. 相似文献

Swainsonine induces the accumulation of mannose-rich oligosaccharides in human fibroblasts. The composition of the storage products shows that swainsonine completely inhibits lysosomal alpha-D-mannosidase and alters processing of glycoproteins by inhibiting Golgi alpha-D-mannosidase II. Comparison of the storage products in genetic and swainsonine-induced mannosidosis suggests that human fibroblasts contain a lysosomal alpha-D-mannosidase that is unaffected in genetic mannosidosis. 相似文献

Immunocytochemical localization of lysosomal acid phosphatase in normal and "I-cell" fibroblasts 总被引:1,自引:0,他引:1

This study represents the first example of immunological localization of lysosomal acid phosphatase. The intracellular localization of lysosomal acid phosphatase was investigated with immunocytochemical methods at the light and electron microscopical level in cultured fibroblasts obtained from normal subjects and from a patient with I-cell disease. Double-labeling studies using fluorescence microscopy showed that acid phosphatase is present in the same organelles as other hydrolases. At the electron microscopic level in control fibroblasts acid phosphatase was found in the rough endoplasmic reticulum, lysosomes, at the plasma membrane, in vesicles just below the plasma membrane and in multivesicular bodies. This localization was comparable with that of other lysosomal enzymes tested (acid alpha-glucosidase, N-acetyl-beta-hexosaminidase, beta-galactosidase). Acid phosphatase labeling was mainly found in association with the lysosomal membrane and with membranous material present within the lysosome. In I-cell fibroblasts the label was present in the same subcellular organelles but always associated with membranous structures. We suggest that the association of acid phosphatase with membranes might explain the normal enzyme activity found in I-cell fibroblasts. 相似文献

Lymphocytes transfer only the lysosomal form of alpha-D-mannosidase during cell-to-cell contact 总被引:2,自引:0,他引:2
We have examined the changes in the activities of the different types of alpha-D-mannosidase when fibroblasts from patients deficient in the lysosomal form of the enzyme are cultured together with normal lymphocytes. Our results show that whereas the mannosidosis cells acquired high levels of this enzyme, the activities of both the Golgi and the endoplasmic reticulum forms of alpha-D-mannosidase remained the same as in the fibroblasts cultured alone in the absence of lymphocytes. The increase in the activity of the lysosomal enzyme in the cocultured fibroblasts was not affected by the presence of mannose 6-phosphate or alpha-methyl mannoside, inhibitors of receptor- and lectin-mediated uptake of lysosomal enzymes, respectively, but it did require cell-to-cell contact. Ion-exchange HPLC and electrophoresis in polyacrylamide gradient gels showed that the acquired enzyme had the same elution profile and molecular size as the lysosomal form of the enzyme present in the lymphocytes. Immunoprecipitation studies using antibody specific for the lymphocyte type of lysosomal alpha-D-mannosidase confirmed that the increased activity in the cocultured mannosidosis cells resulted from the acquisition of the lymphocyte enzyme. Cytochemical examination revealed, however, that the transferred lymphocyte enzyme was localized in cytoplasmic organelles in the peripheral regions of the recipient fibroblasts. These results show that lymphocytes transfer only the lysosomal form of alpha-D-mannosidase during cell-to-cell contact with mannosidosis cells. 相似文献

Several di-cationic amphiphilic compounds are known to cause lysosomal accumulation of sulfated glycosaminoglycans (sGAG) in intact rats and in cultured rat fibroblasts. The purpose of the present investigation was to examine whether this drug side effect also occurs in bovine and human cells. Cultured fibroblasts from both species were exposed to tilorone (3 microM and 5 microM) for 72 h; lysosomal sGAG-storage was demonstrated by cytochemical staining with cuprolinic blue and by measuring the intracellular accumulation of [35S]-GAG. The cytological alterations as well as the radiochemical results in both species were in good agreement with previous data from rat fibroblasts. The present findings indicate that the drug-induced lysosomal storage of sGAG is a species-independent phenomenon. Thus, cultured bovine and human fibroblasts are a suitable model for further studies concerning the as yet unknown molecular mechanisms underlying this adverse drug action. 相似文献
