Using a variety of approaches, we have examined the expression of the heparin/heparan sulfate (Hp/HS) interacting protein/ribosomal protein L29 (HIP/RPL29) in mouse uteri during the estrous cycle and early pregnancy. HIP/RPL29 selectively binds heparin and HS and may promote HS-dependent embryo adhesion. HIP/RPL29 was prominently expressed in both luminal and glandular epithelia under almost all conditions, including the phase of embryo attachment. In contrast, differences were noted in HIP/RPL29 expression in the stromal compartment both during the estrous cycle and during early pregnancy. Most notably, HIP/RPL29 accumulated in decidua, where it displayed a pattern complementary to that of pericellular deposition of the HS proteoglycan, perlecan. HIP/RPL29 protein was detected in implanted embryos at both initial and later stages of implantation; however, embryonic HIP/RPL29 mRNA accumulation was more pronounced at later stages (Day 7.5 postcoitum). In situ hybridization revealed similar spatial changes for HIP/RPL29 mRNA during these different physiological states. Whereas differences in the spatial pattern of HIP/RPL29 protein and mRNA expression were demonstrable, little change was detected in the level of HIP/RPL29 mRNA or protein in total endometrial extracts. Mouse blastocysts attached, but did not outgrow, on surfaces coated with recombinant murine HIP/RPL29. Surprisingly, soluble glycosaminoglycans including heparin, low molecular weight heparin, or chondroitin sulfate were not able to inhibit embryo attachment to HIP/RPL29-coated surfaces. These latter observations indicate that embryonic cell surface components other than HS proteoglycans can promote binding to HIP/RPL29 expressed by uterine cells.  相似文献

We had previously shown that the expression of heparin/heparan sulfate interacting protein/ribosomal protein L29 (HIP/RPL29) was upregulated in colon cancer tissues. The present study investigated the role of HIP/RPL29 in differentiation in colon cancer cells. Inducing cellular differentiation in HT-29 cells by both sodium butyrate and glucose deprivation resulted in a significant downregulation of HIP/RPL29 expression. The beta-catenin/Tcf-4 pathway is the most important pathway controlling the switch between cellular differentiation and proliferation in intestinal epithelial cells. Inducing differentiation by dominant-negative inhibition of the beta-catenin/Tcf-4 complexes in LS174T cells also resulted in downregulation of HIP/RPL29. To determine whether a lower expression of HIP/RPL29 could induce differentiation in cancer cells, small interfering RNA (siRNA) targeting HIP/RPL29 was transfected into LS174T cells. The resultant knockdown of HIP/RPL29 expression induced cellular differentiation, as shown by the increased expression of two known markers of differentiation in LS174T cells, galectin-4 and mucin-2. In addition, the differentiation process induced by repression of HIP/RPL29 expression was accompanied by the upregulation of p21 and p53. In conclusion, HIP/RPL29 plays a role in the cellular differentiation process in colon cancer cells. The differentiation process is at least partially mediated by the upregulation of p21 and p53 pathways.  相似文献

Two members of the zinc finger Krüppel family, ZNF24 (KOX17) and ZNF29 (KOX26), have been localized by somatic cell hybrid analysis and in situ chromosomal hybridization to human chromosomes 18q12 and 17p13-p12, respectively. The mapping of ZNF29 together with the previously reported localization of ZFP3 suggests that a zinc finger gene complex is located on human chromosome 17p. ZNF29 maps centromeric to the human p53 tumor antigen gene (TP53). In the analogous murine position, the two mouse zinc finger genes Zfp2 and Zfp3 have recently been assigned to the distal region of mouse chromosome 11, the murine homolog of human chromosome 17. Both human zinc finger genes ZNF24 and ZNF29 are in chromosomal regions that have been noted to be deleted in neoplasms of the lung and of the central nervous system at chromosome 17p and in colorectal neoplasia at chromosomes 17p and 18q.  相似文献

HIP/RPL29 is a heparan sulfate (HS) binding protein with diverse activities including modulation of heparanase (HPSE) activity. We examined HIP/RPL29's ability to modulate actions of HS-binding growth factors (HBGFs) in angiogenesis. Between 1 and 2.5 microg/ml (ca. 60-150 nM), HIP/RPL29 inhibited HBGF-stimulated endothelial cell tube formation. Aortic explant outgrowth also was inhibited, but at higher concentrations (40 microg/ml). At this concentration, HIP/RPL29 had no effect on HBGF-stimulated MAPK phosphorylation or VEGF-stimulated receptor-2 phosphorylation at site Y-996. Partial inhibition occurred at VEGF receptor-2 site Y951, associated with cell migration. HBGF displacement from HS-bearing perlecan domain I showed that HIP/RPL29 released 50% of bound HBGF at 20 microg/ml, a dose where endothelial tube formation is inhibited. Similar FGF2 release occurred at pH 5.0 and 7.0, conditions where HPSE is highly and residually active, respectively. We considered that HIP/RPL29 inhibits HPSE-dependent release of HS-bound HBGFs. At pH 5.0, release of soluble HS was inhibited by 64% at concentrations of 5 microg/ml and by 77% at 40 microg/ml, indicating that HIP/RPL29 antagonizes HPSE activity. At concentrations up to 40 microg/ml (ca. 2.5 microM) where angiogenic processes are inhibited, release of FGF2 occurred in the presence of HPSE and HIP/RPL29. The majority of this FGF2 is not bound to soluble HS. Studies of HIP/RPL29 binding to HS indicated that many structural features of HS are important in modulation of HBGF activities. Our findings suggest that inhibition of angiogenic processes by HIP/RPL29 involves attenuation of the formation of soluble, biologically active HBGF:HS complexes that activate HBGF receptors.  相似文献

Conserved linkage groups have been found on the X and autosomal chromosomes in several mammalian species. The identification of conserved chromosomal regions has potential for predicting gene location in mammals, particularly in humans. The genes for human aminoacylase-1 (ACY1, N-acylamino acid aminohydrolase, E.C.3.5.1.14), an enzyme in amino acid metabolism, and beta-galactosidase-A (GLB1, E.C.3.2.1.23), deficient in GM1-gangliosidosis, have been assigned to human chromosome 3. Using human-mouse somatic cell hybrids segregating translocations of human chromosome 3, expression of both ACY1 and GLB1 correlated with the presence of the p21 leads to q21 region of chromosome 3. In a previous study, assignment of these genes to mouse chromosome 9 used mouse-Chinese hamster somatic cell hybrids, eliminating mouse chromosomes. To approximate the size of the conserved region in the mouse, experiments were performed with recombinant inbred mouse strains. An electrophoretic variant of ACY-1 in mouse strains was used to map the Acy-1 gene 10.7 map U from the beta-galactosidase locus. These data suggest that there is a region of homology within the p21 leads to q21 region of human chromosome 3 and a segment of mouse chromosome 9. Since the mouse transferrin gene (Trf) is closely linked to the aminoacylase and beta-galactosidase loci, we predict that the human transferrin (TF) gene is on chromosome 3.  相似文献

To investigate the chromosomal sites of integration of the herpes simplex virus type 1 (HSV-1) thymidine kinase (TK) gene in HSV-1-transformed human HeLa(BU25)/KOS 8-1 cells, the biochemically transformed cells were fused with TK-negative mouse LM(TK-) cells, and human-mouse somatic cell hybrid lines (LH81) were isolated using a HATG-ouabain selection system. The presence of HSV-1 TK activity in the hybrid lines was verified by disc polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis (PAGE) and by enzyme neutralization with type-specific rabbit anti-HSV-1 TK immunoglobulin. Karyotype analyses of several somatic cell hybrid clones using G-banding, Hoechst 33258 staining, and combined G-banding and Hoechst staining demonstrated that they retained only a few human chromosomes. A marker chromosome, M7, consisting of a chromosome 17 translocated to the short arm of 3, occurred in 25 of the 28 metaphases examined. Also chromosomes 8 and X were found in a minority of metaphases. Isozyme analyses showed that all 19 hybrid clones analyzed expressed human aminoacylase-1 (ACY1) and esterase D (ESD), markers for 3 and 13, respectively. Back-selection of somatic cell hybrid clones with 5-bromodeoxyuridine resulted in the isolation of several subclones lacking HSV-1 TK activity, human ACY1, human ESD, and the human chromosomes. These experiments suggest that the HSV-1 TK gene is associated with either M7 or a segment of 13, or both, in biochemically transformed HeLa(BU25)/KOS 8-1 cells. These experiments also permit localization of the ACY1 structural gene to the pter leads to p12 region of 3.  相似文献

A cDNA encoding the human GABAA receptor beta 3 subunit has been isolated from a brain cDNA library and its nucleotide sequence has been determined. This gene, GABRB3, has recently been mapped to human chromosome 15q11q13, the region deleted in Angelman and Prader-Willi syndromes. The association of distinct phenotypes with maternal versus paternal deletions of this region suggests that one or more genes in this region show parental-origin-dependent expression (genetic imprinting). Comparison of the inferred human beta 3 subunit amino acid sequence with beta 3 subunit sequences from rat, cow, and chicken shows a very high degree of evolutionary conservation. We have used this cDNA to map the mouse beta 3 subunit gene, Gabrb-3, in recombinant inbred strains. The gene is located on mouse chromosome 7, very closely linked to Xmv-33 between Tam-1 and Mtv-1, where two other genes from human 15q11q13 have also been mapped. This provides further evidence for a region of conserved synteny between human chromosome 15q11q13 and mouse chromosome 7. Proximal and distal regions of mouse chromosome 7 show genetic imprinting effects; however, the region of homology with human chromosome 15q11q13 has not yet been associated with these effects.  相似文献

Human heparin/heparan sulfate interacting protein/L29 (HIP/L29) is thought to be involved in the promotion of cell adhesion, the promotion of cell growth in the cancerous state, and the modulation of blood coagulation. These activities are consistent with the proposed function of HIP/L29 as a heparin/heparan sulfate (Hp/HS) binding growth factor that has a preference for anticoagulantly active Hp/HS. Previous studies showed that a peptide derived from the C terminus of human HIP/L29 (HIP peptide-1) can selectively bind anticoagulant Hp and support cell adhesion. However, a murine ortholog does not have an identical HIP peptide-1 sequence, yet still retains the ability to bind Hp, suggesting that there may be additional Hp/HS binding sites outside of the HIP peptide-1 domain. To test this hypothesis, a systematic study of the domains within human and murine HIP/L29 responsible for Hp/HS binding activity was undertaken. Using deletion mutants, proteolytic fragments, and protease protection of HIP/L29 by Hp, we demonstrate that multiple binding domains contribute to the overall Hp/HS binding activity of HIP/L29 proteins. Furthermore, a conformational change is induced in human HIP/L29 upon Hp binding as detected by circular dichroism spectroscopy. These studies demonstrate the multiplicity of Hp/HS binding sequences within human and murine HIP/L29.  相似文献

The chicken natural resistance-associated macrophage protein 1 (NRAMP1) gene has been mapped by linkage analysis by use of a reference panel to develop the chicken molecular genetic linkage map and by fluorescence in situ hybridization. The chicken homolog of the murine Nramp1 gene was mapped to a linkage group located on Chromosome (Chr) 7q13, which includes three genes (CD28, NDUSF1, and EF1B) that have previously been mapped either to mouse Chr 1 or to human Chr 2q. Physical mapping by pulsed-field gel electrophoresis revealed that NRAMP1 is tightly linked to the villin gene and that the genomic organization (gene order and presence of CpG islands) of the chromosomal region carrying NRAMP1 is well conserved between the chicken and mammalian genomes. The regions on mouse Chr 1, human Chr 2q, and chicken Chr 7q that encompass NRAMP1 represent large conserved chromosomal segments between the mammalian and avian genomes. The chromosome mapping of the chicken NRAMP1 gene is a first step in determining its possible role in differential susceptibility to salmonellosis in this species.  相似文献

The human CD20 gene (B1) encodes a B lymphocyte-specific, cell-surface molecule that is involved in B cell activation and differentiation. We report that the CD20 gene is located on human chromosome 11 at position q12-q13. The location of CD20 was determined by in situ hybridization and was further confirmed by Southern blot analysis of DNA from rodent/human hybrids that contained only portions of human chromosome 11. This localization places the CD20 gene near the site of the t(11;14)(q13;q32) translocation that is found in a subgroup of B cell-lineage malignancies. The site of this translocation has been previously identified by DNA cloning and termed bcl-1. The CD20 gene was found to lie on the centromeric side of bcl-1 on chromosome 11 and to be separated from bcl-1 by at least 50 kb of DNA. These results raise the possibility that alterations in the expression of the CD20 gene may result after the t(11;14) chromosomal alteration.  相似文献

The gene for autosomal recessive retinitis pigmentosa (RP12) with preserved para-arteriolar retinal pigment epithelium was previously mapped close to the F13B gene in region 1q31-->q32.1. A 4-Mb yeast artificial chromosome contig spanning this interval was constructed to facilitate cloning of the RP12 gene. The contig comprises 25 sequence-tagged sites, polymorphic markers, and single-copy probes, including five newly obtained probes. The contig orders the F13B and HF1 genes, as well as five expressed sequence tags, with respect to the integrated genetic map of this region. Homozygosity mapping resulted in refinement of the candidate gene locus for RP12 to a 1. 3-cM region. Currently, approximately 1 Mb of the contig is represented in P1-derived artificial chromosome (PAC) clones. Direct screening of a cDNA library derived from neural retina with PACs resulted in identification of the human elongation factor 1alpha pseudogene (EEF1AL11) and a human ribosomal protein L30 pseudogene (RPL30). A physical and genetic map covering the entire RP12 candidate gene region was constructed.  相似文献

The chromosomal localization of the genes coding for the pro-protein and pro-hormone convertases PC1, PC2, and Furin has been achieved by in situ hybridization. The genes for PC1 and PC2 were located on human chromosomes 5q15-21 and 20p11.1-11.2, respectively. The gene for Furin was assigned to the mouse chromosome 7D1-7E2 region. These data complete the chromosomal localization of these three convertases in both human and mouse. The results confirm the regional correspondence of the human chromosomes 15 and mouse chromosomes 7, as well as between human chromosome 20 and mouse chromosome 2. Furthermore, the identification of the NEC1 locus on human chromosome 5 and mouse chromosome 13 suggests a conservation of synthenic regions between these regions of the human and mouse genomes.  相似文献
