Bacteriorhodopsin and the nicotinic acetylcholine receptor were biotinylated and reconstituted in lipidic membranes on silicon supports by fusion with proteoliposomes. The presence and distribution of the proteins were studied by binding with streptavidin. Radio-labelled streptavidin was employed for quantifying the amounts of protein remaining in the supported membranes after storage in buffer. The proteins within the membranes remained bound to the surface for weeks. The biological activity of reconstituted unlabelled receptor upon storage showed stability in membranes formed on silicon supports and a reduced stability when formed onto lipid monolayer covered supports. Atomic force microscopy studies on preparations in liquid showed bilayer structures but also attached, partly fused liposomes and membrane particles. In air, the surface was smoother and contained less of liposomes and more of stacked lipid layers. Preparations labelled with streptavidin conjugated to colloidal gold and imaged in air showed the proteins individually distributed, with no protein-rich patches or protein aggregates. 相似文献

Lipid rafts and the formation of an immunological synapse are crucial for T-cell activation. Binding of cholera toxin B subunit (CTB) to ganglioside GM1 is a marker to identify lipid rafts. Primary human T cells were isolated from healthy donors and were stimulated with superantigen staphylococcus enterotoxin B (SEB) and stained with cholera toxin B-fluorescein isothiocyanate (CTB-FITC). An optimized staining procedure is required to stain lipid rafts exclusively on the cell surface. Unstimulated T cells show a few CTB binding spots on the cell surface. The size and number of CTB-binding lipid rafts are strongly upregulated during T-cell activation in SEB-stimulated CD4(+) T cells. However, our data show that the specificity of CTB for GM1 ganglioside is limited, because the binding capacity is partly resistant to inhibition of ganglioside synthesis and sensitive to trypsin digestion. Our results indicate that the binding of FITC-labeled CTB can be divided into at least three different categories: a specific binding of CTB to ganglioside GM1, a nonspecific binding of CTB probably to glycosylated surface proteins and a nonspecific binding of FITC to the cell surface. 相似文献

Reconstituted influenza virus envelopes (virosomes) containing the viral hemagglutinin (HA) represent an efficient fusogenic cellular delivery system. By interaction of HA with its natural receptors, sialylated lipids (gangliosides) or proteins, virosomes bind to cells and, following endocytic uptake, deliver their contents to the cytosol through fusion from within acidic endosomes. Here, we show that binding to sialic acid is not necessary for fusion. In the presence of streptavidin, virosomes containing a biotinylated lipid fused with liposomes lacking sialic acid if these liposomes also had a biotinylated lipid in their membranes. Moreover, fusion characteristics corresponded well with fusion of virosomes with ganglioside-containing liposomes. 相似文献

A competitive binding assay has been developed to determine how modifications to the B subunit of cholera toxin affect the binding affinity of the subunit for an ileal brush border membrane surface. The Ricinus communis120 agglutinin (RCA120) specifically binds to terminal beta-D-galactosyl residues such as those found in oligosaccharide side chains of glycoproteins and ganglioside GM1. Conditions were designed to produce binding competition between the B subunit of cholera toxin and the RCA120 agglutinin. Displacement of RCA120 from brush border surfaces was proportional to the concentration of B subunit added. This assay was used to study the effect of modification of B subunit on competitive binding affinity for the ileal brush border surface. The B subunit of cholera toxin was modified by coupling an average of five sulfhydryl groups to each B subunit molecule and by reaction of the SH-modified B subunit with liposomes containing a surface maleimide group attached to phosphatidylethanolamine. SH-modified B subunit was approximately 200-fold more effective than native B subunit in displacing lectin from brush border surfaces in the competitive binding assay. The enhanced binding activity was retained on covalent attachment of the modified B subunit to the liposome surface. We conclude that the B subunit of cholera toxin may be a useful targeting agent for directing liposomes to cell surfaces that contain a ganglioside GM1 ligand. 相似文献

Receptor-mediated interaction of ricin with the lipid bilayer of ganglioside GM1-liposomes 总被引:1,自引:0,他引:1
The interaction of ricin with ganglioside GM1 or glycoprotein containing liposomes was investigated. At neutral pH, ricin bound to galactose moieties on the surface of the liposomes to form ricin-liposomes complexes, but did not associate with their lipid bilayers. When these ricin-liposomes complexes were exposed to a pH below 5, ricin bound to GM1-liposomes became associated with the lipid bilayer, whereas ricin bound to glycoprotein-liposomes (containing human erythrocyte Band 3) was only rarely associated. Association of ricin with the lipid bilayer of GM1-liposomes did not occur in the presence of lactose, which inhibits the binding of ricin to ganglioside GM1. Using a hydrophobic probe, 8-amino-1-naphthalene sulfonic acid (ANS), it was revealed that an acidity below pH 5 resulted in exposure of hydrophobic regions on the ricin molecule. These results strongly suggest that association of ricin with the lipid bilayer of GM1-liposomes at acidic pH is mediated by the binding of ricin to ganglioside GM1 at neutral pH and occurs through interaction between the exposed hydrophobic region on the ricin molecule and the lipid bilayer of GM1-liposomes at low pH. 相似文献

A non-covalent method of attaching antibodies to liposomes 总被引:1,自引:0,他引:1
A novel non-covalent method of attaching antibodies to liposomes which exploits the high affinity of streptavidin for biotin, is described. The two-step coupling protocol involves the initial attachment of streptavidin to liposomes containing biotin PE, followed by the coupling of biotinated antibodies to streptavidin-liposomes. The association of streptavidin with liposomes containing biotinated PE is rapid (less than 5 min), resulting in a maximum association of 40 molecules of streptavidin per 100 nm vesicle. In the presence of equimolar cholesterol, the amount of streptavidin bound is twice that observed when biotin PE/egg PC liposomes are used. Irrespective of the mole ratio of biotin to antibody (e.g. for 1-6 biotins per antibody), or the molar ratio of antibody to streptavidin in the second incubation step, equimolar amounts of antibody bind to streptavidin. It is shown that anti-rat-erythrocyte IgG or F(ab')2 complexed to liposomes via the streptavidin linker bind specifically to rat erythrocytes but not to human erythrocytes. This coupling protocol can be readily extended to other biotinated antibodies. 相似文献

Liposomes as defined model membranes were used to quantitatively study the effects of specific sialic acid containing glycolipids on activation of the alternative pathway of human C. Liposomes containing dimyristoylphosphatidylethanolamine, cholesterol, and cerebrosides at molar ratios of 1.0/0.75/0.33 activated the alternative pathway in human serum treated with MgEGTA. Activation was measured by C3 conversion and the deposition of total C3 and functional C3b on the liposome surface. The monosialoganglioside GM1, when incorporated into the activating liposome membrane at molar ratios between 10(-5) and 10(-2), inhibited activation in a dose-dependent manner. Sialosylparagloboside also inhibited activation in human serum, and inhibition was completely reversed after neuraminidase treatment. The degree of inhibition by GM1 correlated with the relative amount of GM1 exposed on the liposome surface. Sialic acid did not directly inhibit the binding of C3b when liposomes containing gangliosides were incubated with the purified components C3, B, D, and P. GM1 did inhibit activation when liposomes were incubated with a mixture of purified C3, B, D, P, H, and I. Binding assays with radiolabeled H showed increased binding of H to liposome-bound C3b in the presence of GM1. These results establish the ability of sialic acid on glycolipids to promote H binding to C3b and thereby regulate alternative pathway activation on a defined lipid membrane. 相似文献

Association of blood proteins with large unilamellar liposomes in vivo. Relation to circulation lifetimes. 总被引:1,自引:0,他引:1
The proteins associated with liposomes in the circulation of mice were analyzed in order to determine whether bound proteins significantly influence the fate of liposomes in vivo. Liposomes were administered intravenously via the dorsal tail vein of CD1 mice and were isolated from blood after 2 min in the absence of coagulation inhibitors using a rapid "spin column" procedure. Various negatively charged liposomes exhibiting markedly different clearance properties were studied; notably, these included liposomes containing 10 mol % ganglioside GM1 which has been previously shown to effectively limit liposomal uptake by the fixed macrophages of the reticuloendothelial system. The protein binding ability (PB; g of protein/mol of lipid) of the liposomes was quantitated and related to the circulation half-life (tau 1/2) of the liposomes. Liposomes having similar membrane surface charge imparted by different anionic phospholipids were found to exhibit markedly different protein binding potentials. Furthermore, PB values determined from the in vivo experiments were found to be inversely related to circulation half-lives. PB values in excess of 50 g of protein/mol of lipid were observed for rapidly cleared liposomes such as those containing cardiolipin or phosphatidic acid (tau 1/2 less than 2 min). PB values for ganglioside GM1-containing liposomes (tau 1/2 greater than 2 h) were significantly less (PB less than 15 g of total protein/mol of total lipid). PB values were also determined for liposomes recovered from in vitro incubations with isolated human serum; relative PB values obtained from these in vitro experiments were in agreement with relative PB values measured from in vivo experiments. PB values, therefore, could be a useful parameter for predicting the clearance behavior of liposomes in the circulation. Liposomes exhibiting increased PB values in vivo were shown by immunoblot analysis to bind more immune opsonins, leading to a higher probability of phagocytic uptake. Finally, based on results obtained using the in vitro system, it is suggested that the mechanism by which ganglioside GM1 prolongs the murine circulation half-life of liposomes is by reducing the total amount of blood protein bound to the liposomes in a relatively nonspecific manner. 相似文献

Glycosphingolipids labelled in the ceramide moiety with 3-(p-(6-phenyl)-1,3,5-hexatrienyl)phenylpropionic acid (DPH) or 6-(4-nitrobenz-2-oxa-1,3-diazole-7-yl)aminohexanoic acid (NBD) were incorporated into small unilamellar lecithin liposomes. They were used in resonance energy transfer (RET) experiments between the donor fluorophore DPH and the acceptor NBD to study glycosphingolipid distribution. In pure lecithin liposomes the fluorescent derivatives of GM1, GA1, galactosylceramide and sulfatide behaved almost identically and Ca2+ ions (5 microM or 150 mM) did not influence their transfer efficiencies. But cholera toxin B subunit (CTB) specifically clustered GM1 and enhanced the transfer efficiency. This RET-based method facilitated determination of binding specificity, complex stoichiometry (CTB/GM1 = 1:5), halftime of complex formation (5 s), cooperativity in binding and had a maximal sensitivity at a liposome dotation rate of just 0.25 mol%. In contrast to this, anisotrophy of the fluorophores and the excimer to monomer ratio of pyrene-GM1 were not affected by CTB. This demonstrates the advantage of the presented technique in detection of protein mediated glycosphingolipid clustering. 相似文献

The potential involvement of gangliosides in the adherence and neurite extension of human neuroblastoma cells (Platt and La-N1) was investigated on tissue culture substrata coated with the ganglioside GM1-binding protein, cholera toxin B (CTB) subunit, for comparison with similar processes on plasma fibronectin (pFN)-coated substrata. Cells attached with reduced efficiency on CTB substrata as compared with pFN substrata and required a much longer time to form neurite processes for a small percentage of cells on CTB. The specificity of these processes for GM1 binding was tested in a variety of ways. Supplementation of the cells with exogenous GM1, but not GD1a, identified a larger population of cells adherent on CTB (comparable to pFN-adherent cells) and dramatically increased the proportion of cells capable of forming neurites without reducing the time requirement. In ultrastructural studies using the scanning electron microscope (SEM) and immunofluorescence (IF) analyses to discriminate microtubule distributions, neurites of GM1-supplemented cells on CTB were virtually identical with pFN-adherent neurites, whereas unsupplemented cells on CTB generated processes with fine-structural differences. Treatment of cells during the GM1 supplementation period with cycloheximide completely abolished the ability of cells to generate neurites on CTB and decreased the adhesive capacity of cells as well; a similar treatment of cells had no adverse effect on adherence or neurite extension on pFN. The importance of one or more proteins in GM1-dependent processes was further confirmed by demonstrating the trypsin sensitivity of a cell surface component(s) required to achieve maximal attachment on CTB; in contrast, adherence and neurite extension on pFN were much more resistant to this treatment process. Therefore, these experiments demonstrate (a) that certain cell surface gangliosides are capable of mediating adherence and neurite outgrowth of human neuroblastoma cells on a suitable ganglioside-binding substratum; (b) this ganglioside dependence is cooperative with one or more cell surface proteins which can now be analysed. These results are discussed in light of the identification in ref. [16] (Exp cell res 169 (1987) 311) of a second ‘cell-binding’ domain on the pFN molecule competent for adherence and neurite extension of these neuroblastoma cells, as well as the potential role of pFN binding to a complex ganglioside on the surface of these neural tumor cells in these processes. 相似文献

Binding of choleragen and anti-ganglioside antibodies to gangliosides incorporated into preformed liposomes 总被引:1,自引:0,他引:1
Exogenously added gangliosides were taken up and incorporated into liposomes just as they are incorporated into cells. Ganglioside GM1 was rapidly taken up by liposomes containing dimyristoyl- or dipalmitoylphosphatidylcholine, cholesterol and dicetyl phosphate. When incubated with a wide range of GM1 concentrations for 18 h, the liposomes incorporated about 10% of the added ganglioside. The rate of GM1 uptake by preformed liposomes was both time- and temperature-dependent. The liposomes also incorporated other gangliosides to a similar extent. The GM1 taken up by preformed liposomes was predominantly located on the outer surface of the liposomes and did not appear to be internalized into the inner half of the lipid bilayer. Liposomes containing GM1 added after liposome formation bound as many anti-GM1 antibodies and as much choleragen as liposomes having GM1 added during the formation of the lipid bilayers. Thus, preformed liposomes sensitized by incubation with GM1 are a good model system for studying the interactions of antibodies and toxins with membrane-associated gangliosides. 相似文献

We have incorporated artificial lipid-anchored streptavidin conjugates with fully saturated or polyunsaturated lipid anchors into the plasma membranes of Jurkat T-lymphocytes to assess previous conclusions that the activation of signaling processes induced in these cells by clustering of endogenous glycosylphosphatidylinositol-anchored proteins or ganglioside GM1 depends specifically on the association of these membrane components with lipid rafts. Lipid-anchored streptavidin conjugates could be incorporated into Jurkat or other mammalian cell surfaces by inserting biotinylated phosphatidylethanolamine-polyethyleneglycols (PE-PEGs) and subsequently binding streptavidin to the cell-incorporated PE-PEGs. Saturated dipalmitoyl-PE-PEG-streptavidin conjugates prepared in this manner partitioned substantially into the detergent-insoluble membrane fraction isolated from Jurkat or fibroblast cells, whereas polyunsaturated dilinoleoyl-PE-PEG-anchored conjugates were wholly excluded from this fraction, consistent with the differences in the affinities of the two types of lipid anchors for liquid-ordered membrane domains. Remarkably, however, antibody-mediated cross-linking of either dipalmitoyl- or dilinoleoyl-PE-PEG-anchored streptavidin conjugates in Jurkat cells induced elevation of cytoplasmic calcium levels and tyrosine phosphorylation of the scaf-folding protein linker of T-cell activation in a manner similar to that observed upon cross-linking of endogenous CD59 or ganglioside GM1. The amplitude of the cross-linking-stimulated elevation of cytoplasmic calcium moreover showed an essentially identical dependence on the level of incorporated streptavidin conjugate for either type of lipid anchor. Confocal fluorescence microscopy revealed that PE-PEG-streptavidin conjugates with saturated versus polyunsaturated anchors showed very similar surface distributions vis à vis GM1 or CD59 under conditions where one or both species were cross-linked. These results indicate that cross-linking of diverse proteins anchored only to the outer leaflet of the plasma membrane can induce activation of Jurkat T-cell-signaling responses, but they appear to contradict previous suggestions that this phenomenon rests specifically on the association of such species with lipid rafts. 相似文献

The gram-negative anaerobic oral bacterium Porphyromonas gingivalis initiates periodontal disease through fimbrial attachment to saliva-coated oral surfaces. To study the effects of immunomodulation on enhancement of subunit vaccination, the expression in E. coli and immunogenicity of P. gingivalis fimbrial protein (FimA) linked to the C-terminus of the cholera toxin B subunit (CTB) were investigated. Complementary DNAs encoding the P. gingivalis 381 fimbrillin protein sequence FimA1 (amino acid residues 1-200) and FimA2 (amino acid residues 201-337) were cloned into an E. coli expression vector downstream of a cDNA fragment encoding the immunostimulatory CTB. CTB-FimA1 and CTB-FimA2 fusion proteins synthesized in E. coli BL21 (DE3) cells were purified under denaturing conditions by Ni2+-NTA affinity column chromatography. Renaturation of the CTB-FimA1 and CTB-FimA2 fusion proteins, permitted identification of CTB-FimA pentamers and restored CTB binding activity to GM1-ganglioside to provide a biologically active CTB-FimA fusion protein. Mice orally inoculated with purified CTB-FimA1 or CTB-FimA2 fusion proteins generated measurable FimA1 and FimA2 IgG antibody titers, while no serum fimbrial IgG antibodies were detected when mice were inoculated with FimA1 or FimA2 proteins alone. Immunoblot analysis confirmed that sera from mice immunized with CTB linked to FimA1 or FimA2 contained antibodies specific for P. gingivalis fimbrial proteins. In addition, mice immunized with FimA2 or CTB-FimA2 generated measurable intestinal IgA titers indicating the presence of fimbrial antibody class switching. Further, mice orally immunized with CTB-FimA1 generated higher IgA antibody titers than mice inoculated with FimA1 alone. The experimental data show that the immunostimulatory molecule CTB enhances B cell-mediated immunity against linked P. gingivalis FimA fusion proteins, in comparison to immunization with FimA protein alone. Thus, linkage of CTB to P. gingivalis fimbrial antigens can increase subunit vaccine immunogenicity to provide enhanced protection against periodontal disease. 相似文献

Surface-immobilized liposome layers are of interest for various potential applications such as localized drug delivery, but their characterization is challenging. We have employed an AFM method and fluorescent dye release to analyze anchored liposomes. In addition, we studied whether the liposomes are surface-bound solely via specific interaction (NeutrAvidin/biotin) or whether physisorptive binding also plays a role. Liposomes containing PEG-biotin lipids were affinity bound to NeutrAvidin molecules which had been immobilized onto solid supports via three different hydrogel interlayers. After liposome docking, approaching the surface with a colloid probe mounted onto an AFM cantilever showed considerable compression behavior, consistent with expectation based on intact, deformable liposomes but not lipid bilayers, thus showing that disruption of liposomes did not occur upon immobilization onto these support surfaces. Plastic deformation suggestive of liposome disruption on compression was not observed. The kinetics of fluorescent dye release also demonstrated that intact liposomes had been successfully immobilized onto all three supports. Blocking surface-immobilized NeutrAvidin molecules with excess biotin in solution before exposure to liposomes showed that the docking of liposomes was dependent largely but not exclusively on biotin-NeutrAvidin affinity binding, with evidence for some nonspecific physisorption, as the extent of liposome binding onto blocked NeutrAvidin surfaces was appreciably lower than for unblocked surfaces but not zero. Finally, consecutive addition of further NeutrAvidin and liposome layers enabled fabrication of multilayers, and this was clearly seen in AFM compressibility and fluorescent dye release measurements. 相似文献

Characterization of the surfaces generated by liposome binding to the modified dextran matrix of a surface plasmon resonance sensor chip 总被引:3,自引:0,他引:3

The dextran matrix of a surface plasmon resonance (SPR) sensor chip modified with hydrophobic residues (BIAcore sensor chip L1) provides an ideal substrate for liposome adsorption. Liposomes of different lipid compositions are captured on the sensor chips by inserting these residues into the liposome membrane, thereby generating stable lipid surfaces. To gain a more detailed understanding of these surfaces, and to prove whether the liposomes stay on the matrix as single particles or form a continuous lipid layer by liposome fusion, we have investigated these materials, using atomic force microscopy (AFM) and fluorescence microscopy. Force measurements with AFM probes functionalized with bovine serum albumin (BSA) were employed to recognize liposome adsorption. Analysis of the maximal adhesive force and adhesion energy reveals a stronger interaction between BSA and the dextran matrix compared to the lipid-covered surfaces. Images generated using BSA-coated AFM tips indicated a complete and homogeneous coverage of the surface by phospholipid. Single liposomes could not be detected even at lower lipid concentrations, indicating that the liposomes fuse and form a lipid bilayer on the dextran matrix. Experiments with fluorescently labeled liposomes concurred with the AFM studies. Surfaces incubated with liposomes loaded with TRITC-labeled dextran showed no fluorescence, indicating a complete release of the encapsulated dye. In contrast, surfaces incubated with liposomes containing a fluorescently labeled lipid showed fluorescence. 相似文献

Multiple and alternative adhesive responses on defined substrata of an immortalized dorsal root neuron hybrid cell line 总被引:1,自引:0,他引:1
Attachment and neurite extension processes have been evaluated for an immortalized derivative cell of a rat dorsal root neuron after fusion with a mouse neuroblastoma cell (the clonal F11 hybrid cell line) and these processes compared with previous studies of neuroblastoma cells, since both cell types may be derived from the neural crest of the developing embryo. Biochemically defined substrata were provided by human plasma fibronectin (pFN), the heparan sulfate-binding protein platelet factor-4 (PF4), and the ganglioside GM1-binding protein cholera toxin B subunit (CTB). While some attachment of unsupplemented cells was noted on CTB substrata, GM1 supplementation permitted F11 cells to attach as well on CTB as on pFN or PF4. On PF4, very few neurite processes were observed while on pFN two morphologically distinct types of neurites could be identified: short, linear processes in a low percentage of cells resembling those of neuroblastoma cells and long, irregular and narrow processes in a higher percentage of cells resembling those of dorsal root neurons. On CTB, neurites of the latter class were even more prominent; however, cell bodies on CTB failed to spread by cytoplasmic extension as commonly observed in F11 cells on pFN and, to some extent, on PF4. The formation of both neurite classes on either pFN or CTB was completely inhibited by low concentrations of an RGDS (Arg-Gly-Asp-Ser) peptide in the medium of cultures, indicating the significance of pFN's binding to cell surface integrin or ganglioside GM1's possible interaction with integrin for mediating the differentiative process. In contrast, neurite formation of neuroblastoma cells is refractile to the soluble peptide as reported previously. Neurite extensions of F11 cells on either pFN or CTB were comparably sensitive to low concentrations of cytochalasin D, revealing the mediation of microfilament reorganization in these processes. Treatment of F11 cells with cycloheximide failed to inhibit neurite extension on pFN but did partially inhibit extension on CTB; this contrasts with the very high sensitivity of neurite formation by neuroblastoma cells on CTB substrata reported previously.(ABSTRACT TRUNCATED AT 400 WORDS) 相似文献

How the lipid composition of liposomes determines their ability to fuse with Sendai virus membranes was tested. Liposomes were made of compositions designed to test postulated mechanisms of membrane fusion that require specific lipids. Fusion does not require the presence of lipids that can form micelles such as gangliosides or lipids that can undergo lamellar to hexagonal phase transitions such as phosphatidylethanolamine (PE), nor is a phosphatidylinositol (PI) to phosphatidic acid (PA) conversion required, since fusion occurs with liposomes containing phosphatidylcholine (PC) and any one of many different negatively charged lipids such as gangliosides, phosphatidylserine (PS), phosphatidylglycerol, dicetyl phosphate, PI, or PA. A negatively charged lipid is required since fusion does not occur with neutral liposomes containing PC and a neutral lipid such as globoside, sphingomyelin, or PE. Fusion of Sendai virus membranes with liposomes that contain PC and PS does not require Ca2+, so an anhydrous complex with Ca2+ or a Ca2+-induced lateral phase separation is not required although the possibility remains that viral binding causes a lateral phase separation. Sendai virus membranes can fuse with liposomes containing only PS, so a packing defect between domains of two different lipids is not required. The concentration of PS required for fusion to occur is approximately 10-fold higher than that required for ganglioside GD1a, which has been shown to act as a Sendai virus receptor. When cholesterol is added as a third lipid to liposomes containing PC and GD1a, the amount of fusion decreases if the GD1a concentration is low.(ABSTRACT TRUNCATED AT 250 WORDS) 相似文献

Liposomes could bind and fuse efficiently to human erythrocytes in the presence of HVJ when they contained glycophorin isolated from human erythrocytes (Umeda, M., et al. (1983) J. Biochem. 94, 1955). In the present work we demonstrated that HVJ-induced fusion between liposomes containing glycophorin and erythrocytes was suppressed when GM1 coexisted with glycophorin in the same liposomal membranes. Asialo-GM1 and other gangliosides such as GM3 and sialosylparagloboside did not affect the fusion between the liposomes and erythrocytes. An intermolecular interaction between glycophorin and GM1 was suggested by the ESR spectrum obtained from liposomes containing glycophorin and a ganglioside GM1 analog carrying a nitroxyl spin label in the fatty acyl chains (5SL-gangliosidoide). The overall splitting value (2A parallel) observed in the ESR spectrum of liposomes containing 5SL-gangliosidoide increased with increase of the amount of glycophorin, whereas 2A parallel of spin-labeled phosphatidylcholine was not changed. The increase of 2A parallel of 5SL-gangliosidoide suggests that the mobility of the fatty acyl chain of the gangliosidoide was restricted by the interaction with glycophorin. It can be concluded that GM1 located near glycophorin, a receptor of the virus, interferes with the activity of viral F protein, inhibiting the fusion of liposome to erythrocyte. 相似文献

Ganglioside-dependent adhesion events of human neuroblastoma cells regulated by the RGDS-dependent fibronectin receptor and proteoglycans 总被引:5,自引:0,他引:5

Human neuroblastoma cells (Platt and La-N1) adhere and extend neurites on a ganglioside GM1-binding substratum provided by cholera toxin B (CTB). These adhesive responses, similar to those on plasma fibronectin (pFN), require the mediation of one or more cell-surface proteins [G. Mugnai and L. A. Culp (1987) Exp. Cell Res. 169, 328]. The involvement of two pFN receptor molecules in ganglioside GM1-mediated responses on CTB have now been tested. In order to test the role of cellular FN binding to its glycoprotein receptor integrin, a soluble peptide containing the Arg-Gly-Asp-Ser (RGDS) sequence was added to the medium. It did not inhibit attachment on CTB but completely inhibited formation of neurites; in contrast, the RGDS peptide minimally inhibited attachment or neurite formation on pFN. Once formed, neurites on CTB became resistant to the peptide. In order to test the role of cell-surface heparan sulfate proteoglycan (HS-PG), two approaches were used. First, the HS-binding protein platelet factor-4 (PF4) was used to dilute CTB or pFN on the substratum or, alternatively, added to the medium. Diluting the substratum ligand with PF4 had no effects on attachment on either CTB or pFN. However, neurite formation on CTB was readily inhibited and on pFN partially inhibited; the effects of PF4 were far greater than a similar dilution with nonbinding albumin. When PF4 was added to the medium of cells, attachment on either substratum was unaffected as was neurite outgrowth on pFN, revealing differences in PF4's inhibition as the substratum-bound or medium-borne component. In contrast, PF4 in the medium at low concentrations (1 microgram/ml) was highly inhibitory for neurite formation on CTB. The second approach utilized the addition of bovine cartilage dermatan sulfate proteoglycan (DS-PG), shown to bind to pFN as well as to substratum-bound CTB by ELISA, or cartilage chondroitin sulfate/keratan sulfate proteoglycan (CS/KS-PG) to the substratum or to the medium. At low concentrations, DS-PG but not CS/KS-PG actually stimulated neurite formation on CTB while at higher concentrations DS-PG completely inhibited attachment and neurite formation. While DS-PG partially inhibited attachment on pFN, it had no effect on neurite formation of the attached cells. Neuroblastoma cells adhered to some extent to substrata coated only with DS-PG, indicating "receptors" for PGs that permit stable interaction.(ABSTRACT TRUNCATED AT 400 WORDS) 相似文献

In order to investigate the influence of cholesterol (Ch) and monosialoganglioside (GM1) on the release and subsequent deposition/aggregation of amyloid beta peptide (Abeta)-(1-40) and Abeta-(1-42), we have examined Abeta peptide model membrane interactions by circular dichroism, turbidity measurements, and transmission electron microscopy (TEM). Model liposomes containing Abeta peptide and a lipid mixture composition similar to that found in the cerebral cortex membranes (CCM-lipid) have been prepared. In all, four Abeta-containing liposomes were investigated: CCM-lipid; liposomes with no GM1 (GM1-free lipid); those with no cholesterol (Ch-free lipid); liposomes with neither cholesterol nor GM1 (Ch-GM1-free lipid). In CCM liposomes, Abeta was rapidly released from membranes to form a well defined fibril structure. However, for the GM1-free lipid, Abeta was first released to yield a fibril structure about the membrane surface, then the membrane became disrupted resulting in the formation of small vesicles. In Ch-free lipid, a fibril structure with a phospholipid membrane-like shadow formed, but this differed from the well defined fibril structure seen for CCM-lipid. In Ch-GM1-free lipid, no fibril structure formed, possibly because of membrane solubilization by Abeta. The absence of fibril structure was noted at physiological extracellular pH (7.4) and also at liposomal/endosomal pH (5.5). Our results suggest a possible role for both Ch and GM1 in the membrane release of Abeta from brain lipid bilayers. 相似文献
