The pulmonary alveolar epithelium is composed of two morphologically distinct cell types, type I (TI) and type II (TII) cells. Alveolar TII cells synthesize, secrete, and recycle surfactant components; contain ion transporters; and secrete immune effector molecules. In response to alveolar injury, TII cells have the capacity to act as progenitor cells, proliferating and transdifferentiating into TI cells. Although various proteins are associated with TII cells, a plasma membrane marker specific to human TII cells that would be useful for identification in tissue and for isolating this cell type has not been described previously. We devised a strategy to produce a monoclonal antibody (MAb) specific to the apical surface of human TII cells and developed an MAb that appears to be specific for human TII cells. The antibody recognizes a 280- to 300-kDa protein, HTII-280, which has the biochemical characteristics of an integral membrane protein. HTII-280 is detected by week 11 of gestation and is developmentally regulated. HTII-280 is useful for isolating human TII cells with purities and viabilities >95%. HTII-280 is likely to be a useful morphological and biochemical marker of human TII cells that may help to advance our understanding of various lung pathological conditions, including the origin and development of various lung tumors.

Melanoma is an aggressive skin cancer. Unfortunately, there is currently no chemotherapeutic agent available to significantly prolong the survival of the most patients with metastatic melanomas. Here we report that the Ginkgo biloba extract (EGb761), one of the most widely sold herbal supplements in the world, potently induces apoptosis in human melanoma cells by disturbing the balance between pro- and anti-apoptosis Bcl-2 family proteins. Treatment with EGb761 induced varying degrees of apoptosis in melanoma cell lines but not in melanocytes. Induction of apoptosis was caspase-dependent and appeared to be mediated by the mitochondrial pathway, in that it was associated with reduction in mitochondrial membrane potential and activation of Bax and Bak. Although EGb761 did not cause significant change in the expression levels of the BH3-only Bcl-2 family proteins Bim, Puma, Noxa, and Bad, it significantly downregulated Mcl-1 in sensitive but not resistant melanoma cells, suggesting a major role of Mcl-1 in regulating apoptosis of melanoma cells induced by EGb761. Indeed, siRNA knockdown of Mcl-1 enhanced EGb761-induced apoptosis, which was associated with increased activation of Bax and Bak. Taken together, these results demonstrate that EGb761 kills melanoma cells through the mitochondrial apoptotic pathway, and that Mcl-1 is a major regulator of sensitivity of melanoma cells to apoptosis induced by EGb761. Therefore, EGb761 with or without in combination with targeting Mcl-1 may be a useful strategy in the treatment of melanoma.  相似文献

The receptor tyrosine kinase (RTK) ROR1 is overexpressed and of importance for the survival of various malignancies, including lung adenocarcinoma, breast cancer and chronic lymphocytic leukemia (CLL). There is limited information however on ROR1 in melanoma. In the present study we analysed in seven melanoma cell lines ROR1 expression and phosphorylation as well as the effects of anti-ROR1 monoclonal antibodies (mAbs) and ROR1 suppressing siRNA on cell survival. ROR1 was overexpressed at the protein level to a varying degree and phosphorylated at tyrosine and serine residues. Three of our four self-produced anti-ROR1 mAbs (clones 3H9, 5F1 and 1A8) induced a significant direct apoptosis of the ESTDAB049, ESTDAB112, DFW and A375 cell lines as well as cell death in complement dependent cytotoxicity (CDC) and antibody dependent cellular cytotoxicity (ADCC). The ESTDAB081 and 094 cell lines respectively were resistant to direct apoptosis of the four anti-ROR1 mAbs alone but not in CDC or ADCC. ROR1 siRNA transfection induced downregulation of ROR1 expression both at mRNA and protein levels proceeded by apoptosis of the melanoma cells (ESTDAB049, ESTDAB112, DFW and A375) including ESTDAB081, which was resistant to the direct apoptotic effect of the mAbs. The results indicate that ROR1 may play a role in the survival of melanoma cells. The surface expression of ROR1 on melanoma cells may support the notion that ROR1 might be a suitable target for mAb therapy.  相似文献

Background

Changes in cell adhesion and migration in the tumor microenvironment are key in the initiation and progression of metastasis. R-Ras is one of several small GTPases that regulate cell adhesion and migration on the extracellular matrix, however the mechanism has not been completely elucidated. Using a yeast two-hybrid approach we sought to identify novel R-Ras binding proteins that might mediate its effects on integrins.

Methods and Findings

We identified Filamin A (FLNa) as a candidate interacting protein. FLNa is an actin-binding scaffold protein that also binds to integrin β1, β2 and β7 tails and is associated with diverse cell processes including cell migration. Indeed, M2 melanoma cells require FLNa for motility. We further show that R-Ras and FLNa interact in co-immunoprecipitations and pull-down assays. Deletion of FLNa repeat 3 (FLNaΔ3) abrogated this interaction. In M2 melanoma cells active R-Ras co-localized with FLNa but did not co-localize with FLNa lacking repeat 3. Thus, activated R-Ras binds repeat 3 of FLNa. The functional consequence of this interaction was that active R-Ras and FLNa coordinately increased cell migration. In contrast, co-expression of R-Ras and FLNaΔ3 had a significantly reduced effect on migration. While there was enhancement of integrin activation and fibronectin matrix assembly, cell adhesion was not altered. Finally, siRNA knockdown of endogenous R-Ras impaired FLNa-dependent fibronectin matrix assembly.

Conclusions

These data support a model in which R-Ras functionally associates with FLNa and thereby regulates integrin-dependent migration. Thus in melanoma cells R-Ras and FLNa may cooperatively promote metastasis by enhancing cell migration.  相似文献

葡糖-6-磷酸脱氢酶(G6PD)在许多肿瘤细胞中高表达,但其发生的作用机理目前仍然不明确.以正常人表皮黑色素细胞(HEM)、野生型人黑色素瘤A375细胞(A375-WT)和G6PD缺陷的A375细胞(A375-G6PDΔ)为对象,经real-time PCR、Western印迹和紫外分光光度法分析显示,A375-WT细胞的mRNA、G6PD蛋白和G6PD活性分别是HEM细胞的1.89倍(P0.05)、6.86倍(P0.01)和2.30倍(P0.05).Annexin V/PI流式细胞仪和Western印迹测定表明,A375-G6PDΔ的凋亡率是A375-WT的5.10倍(P0.01),活化半胱氨酸蛋白酶3(caspase-3)增高1.84倍(P0.01)以及89 kD多聚二磷酸腺苷核糖聚合酶-1(PARP-1)生成增加2.87倍(P0.01).分光光度法分析显示,A375-G6PDΔ的NADPH和GSH分别降低了72.30%(P0.01)和27.39%(P0.05),并伴有75.43%的H2O2增高(P0.01).结果提示,G6PD在黑色素瘤细胞中高表达和高活性,而敲减G6PD表达通过caspase-3和PARP-1信号诱发人黑色素瘤细胞凋亡,这为深入揭示黑色素瘤的发生机理提供了新思路。  相似文献

A search was made for inhibitors of Pi uptake that act directlyon the Pi transporter in the plasma membranes of Catharanthusroseus cells to inhibit Pi uptake without inhibition of protonpumping. Using standard electrodes, we monitored changes inpH and in the concentration of K+ ions, as well as the rateof Pi uptake, when an inhibitor to be tested was applied tothe cells in unbuffered medium. A9C (28 µM), a blockerof anion channels, inhibited Pi uptake but it also inhibitedthe proton pump. However, a structurally similar inhibitor,furosemide, inhibited Pi uptake without inhibiting proton pumping. It is suggested that the carboxylic group of these inhibitorsinteracts with the Pi-binding site (probably an amino group)of the Pi transporter in the plasma membrane and that the hydrophobicstructure of these inhibitors facilitates their accumulationin the plasma membrane. 3Present address: Department of Biology, Hitotsubashi University,2-1 Naka, Kunitachi, Tokyo, 186 Japan  相似文献

Abstract

Human neuroblastoma (NB) tumours represent a major therapeutic challenge due to the lack of drugs effective in controlling cell proliferation. We previously reported that the synthetic retinoid Fenretinide (HPR) inhibits NB cell growth through the induction of programmed cell death. More recently, various NB cell lines have been shown to be partially resistant, in vitro, to HPR used at in vivo achievable concentrations (1-3 μmol/L). To significantly increase the dose, half-life, and stability of this promising anticancer agent we studied a system of conventional or long-circulating liposomes.

In this study, we showed that HPR can be efficiently and stable encapsulated in conventional (CL-HPR) and stabilized liposomes (SL-HPR). Since the leakage of the drug from the liposomes under the experimental conditions used is negligible, it seems that HPR is entering cells via uptake of intact liposomes. Liposome-entrapped HPR completely arrested the growth of NB cells. The effect was dose- and time-dependent. Indeed, SL-HPR at 30 (imol/ L induced, in the cell lines partially resistant to free HPR, a very rapid (24-48 h) fall in thymidine uptake (> 95 %), whereas at 3 μmol/L it exhibited cytostatic effects.

Time lapse photomicroscopy showed that NB cells treated with SL-HPR underwent a death process highly reminiscent of apoptosis, with progressive condensation of the cytoplasm around the nucleus and intense cell shrinkage. The cells then rounded up and detached from the plate. Furthermore, propidium iodide staining of the DNA showed that a high proportion of cells treated with SL-HPR displayed a small and brightly staining nucleus; chromatin appeared aggregated into dense masses at the nuclear periphery, a typical feature of apoptotic cells. These findings were confirmed by electronic microscopy, DNA fragmentation assay, DNA content analysis and by a quantitative assay for evaluating programmed cell death based upon the labeling of DNA breaks with tritiated thymidine. HPLC analysis showed that HPR did not become metabolized after uptake into NB cells cultured in vitro, thus indicating that SL-HPR-induced apoptosis results from the action of HPR, itself, and not from its metabolite(s). In conclusion, our study demonstrates that Fenretinide entrapped in conventional or sterically stabilized liposomes dramatically suppresses NB cell growth by inducing programmed cell death.  相似文献

Pollen samples of 6 varieties of Zea mays L. were used to isolate the viable sperm cells. After being probed with N-hydroxysuccinimido-biotin (NHS-biotin), the sperm cell plasma membrane proteins were compared with each other using the method of Western blotting. Results showed that there was no significant difference among varieties. The molecular weights of probed plasma membrane proteins were concentrated on 91,60,43,30 and 17 kD. Immunochemical method was adopted for further purification of sperm plasma membrane protein preparation which was some- what contaminated with cell organelles. After the cell organelles were isolated from etiolated seedlings of Zea mays by sucrose density gradient super centrifugation, the crude membrane proteins of organelles, endoplasm reticulum, mitochondria, Golgi body and plasmolemma were respectively used as antigen to immunize Guinea pig. The antibody was obtained from respective antiserum, then further used to produce immuno-affinity absorbent. After the solution of membrane proteins of sperm cells passed through the column, some proteins probed whth NHS-biotin were identified. Two major proteins probed with NHS-biotin were considered to be sperm cell specific. The size of these proteins in SDS-PAGE was about 65 kD, 22 kD, respectively.  相似文献

Mitochondria have been shown to play an important role in apoptosis using mammalian cell lines. However, this seems not to be the case in Drosophila, an insect model organism; thus more in-depth studies of insect cell apoptosis are necessary. In the present study, mitochondrial involvement during azadirachtin- and camptothecin-induced apoptosis in Spodoptera frugiperda Sf9 cells (isolated from Spodoptera frugiperda pupal ovarian tissue) was investigated. The results showed that both azadirachtin and camptothecin could induce apoptosis in Sf9 cells. Reactive oxygen species (ROS) generation, activation of mitochondrial permeability transition pores (MPTPs) and loss of mitochondrial membrane potential (MMP) were observed very early during apoptosis and were followed subsequently by the release of cytochrome-c from the mitochondria. Furthermore, the results also revealed that the opening of MPTPs and the loss of MMP induced by azadirachtin could be significantly inhibited by the permeability transition pore (PTP) inhibitor cyclosporin A (CsA), which was used to identify the key role of mitochondria in the apoptosis of Sf9 cells. However, in camptothecin-treated Sf9 cells, CsA could not suppress the opening of MPTPs and the loss of MMP when apoptosis was induced. The data from caspase-3 and caspase-9 activity assays and detection of apoptosis by morphological observation and flow cytometry also uncovered the different effect of CsA on the two botanical apoptosis inducers. Although different mechanisms of apoptosis induction exist, our study revealed that mitochondria play a crucial role in insect cell line apoptosis.  相似文献

Genistein, a naturally occurring isoflavone found chiefly in soybeans, has been reported to be a potent antitumor agent. Genistein is presumed to exert multiple effects related to the inhibition of cancer growth. Metastatic melanoma is a chemotherapy‐refractory neoplasm. The present study was designed to explore the possible activity of genistein to inhibit the aberrant proliferation and to induce apoptosis of human malignant melanoma cells in cooperation with cisplatin treatment. Five human melanoma cell lines were utilized for these experiments. Genistein at physiologic concentrations (20 μM) did not induce apoptosis by itself but did enhance cisplatin‐induced apoptosis in all five human melanoma cell lines tested. The enhanced susceptibility among the cell lines was diverse. Changes in the expression of two anti‐apoptotic proteins, bcl‐2 and bcl‐xL, and one pro‐apoptotic protein, apoptotic protease activating factor‐1 (Apaf‐1), were examined. Genistein alone or cisplatin alone generally did not alter bcl‐2 expression or bcl‐xL expression, but slightly increased Apaf‐1 in some cell lines. The combined treatment with genistein and cisplatin significantly reduced bcl‐2 and bcl‐xL protein and increased Apaf‐1 protein expression. These data suggest that genistein therapy may enhance the chemosensitivity of melanoma patients.  相似文献

乙醇诱导杂交瘤细胞凋亡的检测   总被引:3,自引:0,他引:3  
为建立杂交瘤细胞凋亡检测模型,在乙醇诱导下,采用荧光染色、MTT等方法检测H18杂交瘤细胞凋亡时的形态学及增殖活性变化,并用流式细胞仪对其进行定量分析,夹心ELISA检测IgG抗体分泌的变化情况。结果发现5lOmmol/L乙醇作用5~6h的凋亡诱导效果最为明显,在诱导条件下,杂交瘤细胞的活细胞数显著下降,凋亡细胞比例较高。抗体浓度明显下降,与乙醇浓度呈负相关,但与细胞增殖活性无明显的线性关系。故以此为凋亡检测模型,可为后续抗凋亡细胞株的建立与筛选研究提供初步的实验基础,并为乙醇对IgG型抗体分泌的影响研究提供了可能的实验模型。  相似文献

Fullerene (C(60))-monoclonal antibody (mAb) immunoconjugates have been determined to internalize into target cells using water-soluble Gd(3+) ion-filled metallofullerenes (Gd@C(60)[OH](x)). Two separate conjugations of Gd@C(60)(OH)(x) with the antibody ZME-018 and a murine antibody mixture (MuIgG) were performed in a 1:5 mAb/Gd@C(60) ratio. Characterization of the immunoconjugates was established using inductively coupled plasma mass spectrometry (ICP-MS) for Gd(3+) and UV-Vis spectrometry (for Gd@C(60) + C(60)). Once conjugated, enzyme-linked immunosorbent assays showed little change in the specific binding of ZME-018. Each immunoconjugate was exposed to two cancer cell lines, A375m (antigen positive), and T24, bladder carcinoma (antigen negative). Internalization levels of the immunoconjugate were determined at various time points during 24 hours by harvesting and digesting the cells with 70% HNO(3) for Gd(3+) ion analysis by ICP-MS. These results are the first to demonstrate the practicality of a targeted cancer therapy based on fullerene immunotherapy.  相似文献

Melanotropin stimulates melanin synthesis in Cloudman S91 melanomacells, the accumulation of melanin being preceded by a numberof events which are understood to various degrees. In this reviewI will discuss the control of melanogenesis by melanotropin;emphasis will be on the early events of the process, althoughother aspects will be discussed. The probes (fluorescent andradioactive labels) used to examine the binding of the hormoneto the cells will be described, as will be the results of initialbinding studies. One of the events immediately following thebinding of the hormone is the activation of adenylate cyclase:the evidence supporting this, plus the role of cyclic AMP instimulating melanin synthesis, will be discussed. Also examinedis the role which internalization of the melanotropin-receptor-adenylatecyclase complex may play in mediating hormone action.  相似文献
