Growth of tumors is strongly dependent upon supply of nutrients and oxygen by de novo formed blood vessels. Inhibiting angiogenesis suppresses growth of primary tumors as well and affects development of metastases. We demonstrate that recombinant MBP/vasostatin fusion protein inhibits proliferation of endothelial cells in vitro. The therapeutic usefulness of such intratumorally delivered recombinant protein was then assessed by investigating its ability to inhibit growth of experimental murine melanomas. In the model of B16-F10 melanoma the MBP/vasostatin construct significantly delayed tumor growth and prolonged survival of treated mice. A combination therapy involving MBP/vasostatin construct and cyclophosphamide was even more effective and led to further inhibition of the tumor growth and extended survival. We show that such combination might be useful in the clinical setting, especially to treat tumors which have already formed microvessel networks.  相似文献

According to codon preference of Escherichia coli, the optimized coding sequence of human vasostatin120-180aa (VAS) was obtained by chemical synthesis and molecular cloning methods. Using PCR and enzyme digestion, the full encoding sequence for VAS was cloned into the E. coli expression vector pALEX and expressed as a GST fusion protein in BL21 (DE3) strain. GST-VAS protein approximately accounted for 45% of the total bacterial proteins. Most of target protein existed in inclusion body. To improve the solubility of GST-VAS, the contribution of low temperature and molecular chaperone co-expression to the solubility of GST-VAS was tested. The results showed that co-expression with chaperons, TF and GroES/GroEL, and low expression temperature cooperatively improved the solubility of GST-VAS from 10 to 85%, and the yield of soluble GST-VAS was sixfold increased. When purified by GST affinity chromatography, 50 mg GST-VAS was obtained with purity over 85% from 1 L culture. Intact VAS was released by enterokinase digestion and further purified by Sephadex G50 gel filtration chromatography. About 7.2 mg intact homogeneous VAS protein was finally produced from 1L bacterial culture. The identity of GST-VAS and VAS was validated by Western blotting analysis. Recombinant VAS protein displayed distinct inhibition of endothelial cell proliferation and anti-angiogenic activity by chick embryo chorioallantoic membrane assay.  相似文献

Angiogenesis, i.e. formation of new blood vessels out of pre-existing capillaries, is essential to the development of tumour vasculature. The discovery of specific antiangiogenic inhibitors has important therapeutic implications for the development of novel cancer treatments. Vasostatin, the N-terminal domain of calreticulin, is a potent endogenous inhibitor of angiogenesis and tumour growth. In our study, using B16(F10) murine melanoma model and electroporation we attempted intramuscular transfer of human vasostatin gene. The gene therapy was combined with antiangiogenic drug dosing schedule of a known chemotherapeutic (cyclophosphamide). The combination of vasostatin gene therapy and cyclophosphamide administration improved therapeutic effects in melanoma tumours. We observed both significant inhibition of tumour growth and extended survival of treated mice. To our knowledge, this is one of the first reports showing antitumour efficacy of electroporation-mediated vasostatin gene therapy combined with antiangiogenic chemotherapy.  相似文献

Introduction

Chromogranin A is a neuroendocrine secretory product and its loss is a feature of malignant NEN de-differentiation. We hypothesized that chromogranin A fragments were differentially expressed during NEN metastasis and played a role in the regulation of NEN proliferation.

Methods

Chromogranin A mRNA (PCR) and protein (ELISA/western blot) were studied in 10 normal human mucosa, 5 enterochromaffin cell preparations, 26 small intestinal NEN primaries and 9 liver metastases. Cell viability (WST-1 assay), proliferation (bromodeoxyuridine ELISA) and expression of AKT/AKT-P (CASE ELISA/western blot) in response to chromogranin A silencing, inhibition of prohormone convertase and mTOR inhibition (RAD001/AKT antisense) as well as different chromogranin A fragments were examined in 4 SI-NEN cell lines.

Results

Chromogranin A mRNA and protein levels were increased (37-340 fold, p<0.0001) in small intestinal NENs compared to normal enterochromaffin cells. Western blot identified chromogranin A-associated processing bands including vasostatin in small intestinal NENs as well as up-regulated expression of prohormone convertase in metastases. Proliferation in small intestinal NEN cell lines was decreased by silencing chromogranin A as well as by inhibition of prohormone convertase (p<0.05). This inhibition also decreased secretion of chromogranin A (p<0.05) and 5-HT (p<0.05) as well as expression of vasostatin. Metastatic small intestinal NEN cell lines were stimulated (50-80%, p<0.05) and AKT phosphorylated (Ser473: p<0.05) by vasostatin I, which was completely reversed by RAD001 (p<0.01) and AKT antisense (p<0.05) while chromostatin inhibited proliferation (~50%, p<0.05).

Conclusion

Chromogranin A was differentially regulated in primary and metastatic small intestinal NENs and cell lines. Chromogranin A fragments regulated metastatic small intestinal NEN proliferation via the AKT pathway indicating that CgA plays a far more complex role in the biology of these tumors than previously considered.  相似文献

Chromogranin A (CGA) is a protein that is stored and released together with neurotransmitters and hormones in the nervous, endocrine and diffuse neuroendocrine systems. As human vasostatins I and II [CGA(1-76) and CGA(1-113), respectively] have been reported to affect vessel motility and exert concentration-dependent cardiosuppressive effects on isolated whole heart preparations of eel, frog and rat (i.e. negative inotropism and antiadrenergic activity), we investigated the presence of vasostatin-containing peptides in rat heart. Rat heart extracts were purified by RP-HPLC, and the resulting fractions analyzed for the presence of CGA N-terminal fragments using dot-blot analysis. CGA-immunoreactive fractions were submitted to western blot and MS analysis using the TOF/TOF technique. Four endogenous N-terminal CGA-derived peptides [CGA(4-113), CGA(1-124), CGA(1-135) and CGA(1-199)] containing the vasostatin sequence were characterized. The following post-translational modifications of these fragments were identified: phosphorylation at Ser96, O-glycosylation (trisaccharide, NAcGal-Gal-NeuAc) at Thr126, and oxidation at three methionine residues. This first identification of CGA-derived peptides containing the vasostatin motif in rat heart supports their role in cardiac physiology by an autocrine/paracrine mechanism.  相似文献

Endothelium-independent vasoconstrictor responses in isolated segments of human internal thoracic artery (ITA) and saphenous vein (SV) were used as a bioassay system for the vasoinhibitory activity of bovine chromogranin A (CGA). Preincubation with vasostatin (0.8 micrograms/ml), containing the N-terminal domain of CGA, (CGA1-76, CGA1-113 and CGA1-143ff), inhibited the contractile responses evoked by 80 mM K+, 2.6 microM noradrenaline (NA), or 65 nM endothelin-1 (ET-1) in Ca(2+)-free solution in SV but not in ITA. The results demonstrate a vasoinhibitory activity in vasostatin and show that there is a marked difference between the arterial and venous segments in the Ca2+ independent component of the inhibitory response. A vascular role for the N-terminal domain of CGA is indicated, presumably by inhibiting Ca2+ release from intracellular stores in the human vein but not the artery.  相似文献

A definitive role for chromogranin A (CGA)-derived fragments in the control of the gastrointestinal smooth muscle contractility has not been yet established. The purpose of the present study was to evaluate, in vitro, the effects of the recombinant vasostatin 1-78 (VS-1), CGA 7-57 and CGA 47-66 on the mouse gastric mechanical activity, recording the changes of intraluminal pressure. VS-1, CGA 7-57 and CGA 47-66 produced concentration-dependent relaxations. Mouse anti-vasostatin-1 monoclonal antibody 5A8, recognising the region 53-57, abolished the relaxation induced by VS-1, indicating the specificity of the effect. The relaxation was significantly reduced by tetrodotoxin (TTX), blocker of neuronal voltage-dependent Na(+) channels, l-NAME, inhibitor of nitric oxide (NO) synthase, or apamin, blocker of small conductance Ca(2+)-dependent K(+) channels. The joint application of TTX and l-NAME did not show any additive effects, whereas TTX plus apamin abolished the VS-1 response. The results suggest that the N-terminal CGA-derived peptides are able to relax mouse gastric muscle and, therefore, they point out an inhibitory role of vasostatin I in the gastrointestinal tract. The relaxation is mediated in part by neural mechanisms through NO production and in part by non-neural mechanisms involving the opening of small conductance Ca(2+)-dependent K(+) channels.  相似文献

The N-linked glycans of recombinant leishmanolysin (GP63) expressed as a glycosylphosphatidylinositol (GPI)-anchored membrane protein or modified for secretion in Chinese hamster ovary (CHO) cells were analyzed by fast atom bombardment-mass spectrometry (FAB-MS). The glycans isolated from both membrane and secreted protein were predominantly complex biantennary structures. However other aspects of the glycan profiles showed striking differences. The degree of sialylation of the membrane form was greatly reduced and the core fucosylation of biantennary structures was increased compared to the secreted form. Glycans isolated from membrane expressed protein also contained a higher proportion of lactosamine repeats. Residence times in the secretory pathway were similar for both secreted and membrane protein. Glycosylation differences may therefore be due to differences in protein conformation and accessibility to glycosyltransferases or glycosidases. These differences in glycosylation represent an important factor when considering modifying membrane expressed proteins for secreted production.  相似文献

Escherichia coli alkaline phosphatase (AP) and human lysozyme (h-LYZ), which contain two and four disulfide bonds, respectively, were expressed in a cell-free protein synthesis system constructed from Spodoptera frugiperda 21 (Sf21) cells. AP was expressed in a soluble and active form using the insect cell-free system under non-reducing conditions, and h-LYZ was expressed in a soluble and active form under non-reducing conditions after addition of reduced glutathione (GSH), oxidized glutathione (GSSG), and protein disulfide isomerase (PDI). The in vitro synthesized proteins were purified by means of a Strep-tag attached to their C termini. Approximately 41 microg AP and 30 microg h-LYZ were obtained from 1 mL each of the reaction mixture. The efficiency of protein synthesis approached that measured under reducing conditions. Analysis of the disulfide bond arrangements by MALDI-TOF MS showed that disulfide linkages identical to those observed in the wild-type proteins were formed.  相似文献
