Hyaluronic acid (HA) was extracted from the cell layer of cultured mouse dermal fibroblasts with 6 M guanidine HCl in the presence of 8% (w/v) Zwittergent. HA could be separated from the bulk of extracted proteins by consecutive isopycnic centrifugation and gel and ion-exchange chromatography under dissociative conditions. The final preparation was the complex of HA (viscosity average molecular weight approximately 2 x 10(6)) and a protein of Mr approximately 85,000 in a molar ratio of 1:1. Since the extraction procedure employed has been shown to break most noncovalent bonds between HA and proteins, they would appear to be covalently linked. However, the HA-binding protein remained unlabeled even after long incubation of the cells in the presence of a highly radioactive amino acid mixture, suggesting that it is an exogenous protein derived from the fetal calf serum added to culture medium. The presence of a HA-binding 85-kDa protein could in fact be demonstrated in fetal calf serum as well as sera from various other sources. This protein cross-reacted with antibodies raised against the HA-protein complex purified from cultured mouse dermal cells and was retained on octyl-Sepharose. Like the cell-derived 85-kDa protein, the serum 85-kDa protein, once bound to HA, could not be released from the complex by various dissociative procedures. These results, taken together, suggest that the hydrophobic serum protein can be intercalated into cell surface membranes, thereby mediating the binding of HA to the cell surface. 相似文献

Summary The pattern of serum protein synthesis and secretion in aggregates of extraembryonic endoderm cells (EEC) from the area opaca of primitive streak chick embryos was studied. EEC aggregates were cultured for various time intervals and serum proteins were detected using sodium dodecyl sulfate polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis (SDS-PAGE) and fluorography. Serum proteins were identified based on their comigration with reference proteins from 4 day chick embryo serum and with reference proteins from egg white albumen and chicken serum. A number of serum proteins were detected in EEC aggregates including: two variants of immunoglobulin (IgG), four variants of transferrin, a protein with a molecular weight of 66 500 which may correspond to globulins, prealbumin, and a protein with a molecular weight of 38 600 (serum protein 11) which remains unidentified. These proteins were also detected in the culture medium. The banding profiles of EEC extracts and culture medium were compared over various time intervals of culture (6, 18 and 30 h). The IgGs, transforms and serum protein 11 decreased in concentration in EEC extracts over the culture interval. These proteins as well as prealbumin, were detected in the culture medium. A number of proteins were synthesized by EEC, as determined by radiolabelled amino acid incorporation. All of the labelled serum proteins were detected in the culture medium, not in EEC extracts. These results suggest that serum proteins are synthesized by EEC then rapidly released into the medium. Labelled serum proteins detected in the culture medium include prealbumin and an unidentified serum protein (serum protein 14) which migrates with the tracking dye, both synthesized early in culture (6 h), and transferrin which was synthesized later (18 h) during culture. 相似文献

The aim of the present study was to determine whether activation of human T-lymphocytes affects their interaction with sheep red blood cells (SRBC). Less than 3% of the E-rosettes formed by freshly isolated peripheral blood lymphocytes (PBL) and SRBC are stable and do not disintegrate after incubation at 37 degrees C. In contrast, about 30% of PBL kept in culture for 5 days in the presence of mitomycin C-treated allogeneic lymphocytes were found to form stable E-rosettes. Whereas no rosettes were formed by freshly isolated PBL incubated with human red blood cells at 24 degrees C, 15% of the cells recovered from mixed lymphocyte reactions (MLR) formed such rosettes. When responder PBL were maintained in culture in the absence of allogeneic stimuli the proportion of cells forming stable E-rosettes depended on the serum present in the medium. Less than 5% of the responder cells kept in medium containing human serum or in serum-free medium formed stable E-rosettes, whereas 18% of the cells maintained in medium containing fetal calf serum formed stable E-rosettes. The proportion of cells forming stable E-rosettes increased before any increase in DNA synthesis was detectable in MLR. Indeed, a high proportion of cells forming stable E-rosettes appeared in MLR taking place in serum-free medium, without any accompanying increase of DNA synthesis. Depletion of cells forming EAC'-rosettes from responder PBL increased the proportion of cells forming stable E-rosettes in MLR. Exposure of the cells recovered in MLR to specific anti-T sera inhibited the formation of both stable and regular E-rosettes. Exposure of the cells recovered in MLR to anti-Ig serum had no effect on the formation of regular rosettes. Anti-Ig serum strongly inhibited the formation of stable E-rosettes by cells grown in medium containing human serum, but had no effect on the formation of stable E-rossettes by cells grown in either serum-free medium or in serum containing fetal calf serum. It is concluded that activated human T lymphocytes are characterized by their capacity to form stable E-rosettes, resistant to incubation at 37 degrees C, and by their capacity to acquire an immunoglobulin coat, possibly by binding immunoglobulin molecules present in their environment. 相似文献

Summary We have developed a culture system for early bovine embryos in serum-free media conditioned by oviduct cell monolayers. A
gentle mechanical procedure for oviduct cell isolation has been applied for this purpose avoiding the use of proteolytic enzymes.
The aim of the present study was to identify the cell types present in the monolayers and to examine their fate in primary
culture in serum-free or in serum-containing media by means of electronmicroscopical, immunocytochemical, and biochemical
analyses. The cell dissociation procedure yielded two cell populations: ciliary cells and secretory cells that gradually dedifferentiate
during culture. These cells formed a confluent monolayer after 6 d of culture in Tissue Culture Medium 199 medium supplemented
with 10% fetal calf serum. Confluent cells displayed a typical epithelial cell morphology as assessed by phase contrast and
electron microscopy and all the cells contained cytokeratin filaments as determined by immunocytochemistry.
The overall histoarchitecture of the monolayer was preserved after washing and further culture for 7 d in serum-free medium.
However, some degenerative signs indicate that the serum-free culture should not be extended for more than 7 d. Confluent
oviduct cells also maintained their metabolic and protein secretory activity when deprived of serum. Total protein content
in the culture supernatant linearly increased as a function of time and numerous peaks were detected after separation of proteins
by high performance ion exchange chromatography. Protein elution patterns were reproducible and most of the proteins present
in the culture medium were neosynthesized as determined by the incorporation of radiolabeled amino acids into nondialyzable
proteins. 相似文献

Bovine tracheal submucosal gland serous cells were cultured in medium supplemented with either 10% fetal calf serum or 2% Ultroser G, a commercial serum substitute for cell culture. The proteins synthesized and secreted into the culture medium during [35S]methionine pulse, chase and isoproterenol-stimulated periods were analyzed. Marked differences in the patterns of secretory radiolabeled proteins with Mr values ranging from 15,000 to 95,000 were observed between pulse and chase media of cells cultured in fetal calf serum and Ultroser G. In the presence of Ultroser G, albumin-like protein production was inhibited 95% as compared to cultures incubated with fetal calf serum. A bovine lysozyme-type enzymatic activity was detected only in medium from stimulated cells cultured in Ultroser G. The results suggest that bovine tracheal serous cells synthesize different proteins according to the composition of culture medium and release certain proteins when adrenergically stimulated. 相似文献

Culture shock. Selective uptake and rapid release of a novel serum protein by endothelial cells in vitro 总被引:2,自引:0,他引:2
H Sage 《The Journal of biological chemistry》1986,261(15):7082-7092
A novel protein has been purified from fetal calf serum and from serum-free bovine aortic endothelial cell conditioned culture medium. This protein consists of a single polypeptide chain of reduced Mr 70,000 (70K protein) and was separated from bovine serum albumin and other proteins by ion-exchange chromatography and immunoabsorption on Sepharose-coupled anti-70K protein antiserum. The 70K protein was shown to be structurally and immunologically distinct from bovine serum albumin, alpha-fetoprotein, and vitronectin by one- and two-dimensional peptide mapping, amino acid analysis, and enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay and/or immunoblotting. The 70K protein was located in endothelial cell cytoplasmic granules of irregular size and distribution. Metabolic radiolabeling studies showed that the 70K protein was not a biosynthetic product of these cells; its cytoplasmic location was due to a selective uptake from the fetal calf serum in which the cells were initially grown. After subconfluent cultures of endothelial cells were shifted to serum-free medium, nearly 80% of the total 70K protein that was measurable in the medium was released between 0 and 20 min. Moreover, sparse, rapidly proliferating cells released approximately 18-fold more 70K protein within 2 min as compared to dense, nonproliferating cultures. The concentration of 70K protein in fetal calf serum was estimated to be 400-600 micrograms/ml. Proliferating bovine aortic endothelial cells, 24 h after plating at an intermediate density, released approximately 250 pg of 70K protein/cell within the first 20 min after exposure to serum-free conditions. The data provide evidence for a novel protein in serum which is selectively internalized by endothelial cells in vitro and which in turn is released rapidly under conditions such as osmotic imbalance due to serum removal, or during periods of cellular proliferation, conditions which we term "culture shock." 相似文献

By means of a sensitive radioimmunoprecipitation (RIP) assay, simian sarcoma virus-simian sarcoma-associated virus (SSV-SSAV), purified from culture fluids of infected normal rat kidney (NRK) cells, was shown to acquire a surface antigen from serum used in the tissue culture medium. This antigen, which was acquired when serum from either fetal calf, horse, swine, rabbit, or chicken origin was used, accounted for a substantial portion (but not all) of the total precipitating activity exhibited by natural human antibodies for membrane-associated antigens of these viruses. By 1) alcohol precipitation, concanavalin A chromatography, and Sephadex G-150 filtration of fetal calf serum (FCS) proteins or 2) chromatography of serum proteins over a human IgG-containing immunoaffinity column, a glycoprotein of approximately 55,000 daltons has been identified which is a minor constituent of FCS (less than 0.1% of total protein) and has the antigenic capacity of whole FCS. 相似文献

An immunoglobulin (Ig) production stimulating factor (IPSF) for hybridomas was found in spent medium of the human B lymphoblastoid cell line, HO-323. The IPSF was purified by serial use of DEAE chromatography, ultrafiltration, gel filtration and HPLC-DEAE chromatography. Purified IPSF was estimated to be a 410 k macro molecule by gel filtration, and contained three types of isomers which were separated from each other by native polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis. All of the isomers were, however, assumed to have the same protein components by SDS polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis.The IPSF was effective for human-human and mouse-mouse hybridomas producing IgM, but not for IgG producers in the experimental condition used here. Human-human hybridoma HF10B4, cultured in IPSF-containing medium, produced 20 times more IgM than in IPSF-free medium under serum-free conditions. The IPSF showed very little proliferation stimulating activity on HF10B4 cells. 相似文献

Sertoli cells synthesize and secrete a transferrin-like protein (testicular transferrin) [Skinner & Griswold (1980) J. Biol. Chem. 255, 1923-1925]. The purpose of the present study was to purify and characterize testicular transferrin and to compare it with serum transferrin. Testicular transferrin was obtained from the medium of cultured rat Sertoli cells, whereas serum transferrin was obtained from rat serum. Both proteins were purified with the use of phenyl-Sepharose hydrophobic chromatography and transferrin immunoaffinity chromatography. The purified proteins were shown to have similar molecular masses (75 000 Da) and amino acid compositions. The pattern of tryptic peptides from testicular and serum transferrin were found to be essentially the same when analysed by reverse-phase high-pressure liquid chromatography. The carbohydrate composition of both transferrins was determined by several colorimetric assays and g.l.c. Testicular transferrin, isolated from cell culture medium, had increased amounts of glucose, galactose and glucosamine. Serum transferrin that was incubated with cell culture medium also had a large amount of associated glucose. The results show that testicular transferrin and serum transferrin are structurally very similar and are possibly products of the same gene expressed in two different tissues, the testis and liver. However, the amount of carbohydrate associated with these two proteins is different. 相似文献

Determination of the Surface tension of proteins. I. Surface tension of native serum proteins in aqueous media 总被引:1,自引:0,他引:1
The desorption patterns of serum proteins in hydrophobic chromatography suggest that serum proteins that remain immersed in an aqueous medium and do not become in a protein-air interface are very hydrophilic. Contact angle measurements on fairly thick layers of hydrated serum proteins, formed on ultrafiltration membranes, yield surface tensions that correlate well with the degree of hydrophilicity derived from desorption data obtained by hydrophobic chromatography. For further confirmation the absorptivity of four human serum proteins was measured with respect to surfaces of different polymers of various surface tensions, for solution in aqueous solvents of different surface tensions. The surface tension of the solvent from which a dissolved protein adsorbs to precisely the same extent onto all solid substrates (regardless of their surface tensions) is equal to the surface tension of that protein. The surface tensions found by the contact angle (first value given) and by the protein adsorption methods (second value given) were. in erg/cm2; alpha 2-macroglobulin, 71.0, 71.0; serum albumin, 70.5, 70.2; immunoglobulin M, 69.5, 69.4; immunoglobulin G, 67.4, 67.7. 相似文献

Further characterization of the glucocorticoid-induced antiphospholipase protein "renocortin" 总被引:6,自引:0,他引:6

The steroid-induced anti-phospholipase protein "Renocortin" has been further characterized by column chromatography and a monoclonal antibody. In medium devoid of foetal calf serum, renomedullary insterstitial cells in culture exposed to the anti-inflammatory steroid dexamethasone released 3 peptides of apparent MW: 15k, 30k, and 45k possessing similar biological properties to "renocortin", "lipomodulin" and "macrocortin". A monoclonal antibody directed against macrocortin also bound the 45k peptide released from the renomedullary cells. The 15k species was, like macrocortin, inactive in an "in vitro" enzymatic assay but recovered its full inhibitory activity after dephosphorylation by alkaline phosphatase treatment. We conclude that "macrocortin", "lipomodulin" and "renocortin" are similar if not identical proteins. We propose a scheme to account for "in vivo" secretion and regulation of these proteins. 相似文献

A simple protein free medium was formulated and tested in suspension culture using three hybridoma cell lines. The medium, referred to as CDSS (Chemically Defined Serum Substitutes), consisted of the basal medium DMEM:Ham F12, 1:1, with HEPES (D12H), plus pluronic F68, trace elements, ferric citrate, ascorbic acid, and ethanolamine. No protein or lipid components were added. All three cell lines were weaned off serum using CDSS and a commercially available protein free medium PFHM-II. Data shown here indicated that normally cells took 1–7 weeks to wean off serum and an additional 2–7 weeks to adapt to suspension culture. After adaptation the cells were able to grow well in suspension culture using both protein free media and in the main performed better than serum containing controls. The stability of the three hybridoma cells for antibody production following freeze/thaw procedures and long term subculturing was also tested. All three lines were frozen using our protein free CDSS medium (containing 0.75% bovine serum albumin and 10% dimethyl sulfoxide) in liquid nitrogen for up to one year. Cells thawed from these stocks recovered well and were able to maintain good growth and antibody production characteristics. One line was shown to grow using our protein free CDSS medium in suspension culture for 12 weeks without loss of antibody productivity. 相似文献

The level of actin was found to decrease markedly when ataxia telangiectasia lymphoblastoid cells were stepped from low to high density culture conditions. Additionally, as the actin levels decreased the levels of a protein species of 37K daltons increased by orders of magnitude. Partial proteolytic digestion of the 37K protein and actin revealed that the primary structures of these proteins were not related. This phenomena was observed in three out of four ataxia telangiectasia lymphoblastoid cell lines but not in lymphoblastoid cells derived from normal individuals. 相似文献

The present study was designed to determine which proteins are selectively adsorbed onto two bone substitute materials, octacalcium phosphate (OCP) and hydroxyapatite (HA) crystals, from rat serum by proteome analysis. Ground crystals of synthetic OCP and commercially available sintered HA, with the same surface area, were incubated in rat serum proteins at 37 °C for 24 h. The proteins from the crystals extracted with guanidine–HCl–EDTA were listed on the basis of the results of liquid chromatography tandem mass spectrometry (LC/MS/MS). A total of 138 proteins were detected from OCP; 103 proteins were detected from HA. Forty-eight proteins were from both crystals. A quantitative analysis of the proteins detected was performed for the extracted two bone formation-related proteins apolipoprotein E (Apo E), a protein known to promote osteoblast differentiation, and complement 3 (C3). HA adsorbed C3 (3.98 ± 0.03 fmol/μg protein) more than OCP (1.81 ± 0.07 fmol/μg protein) did, while OCP adsorbed Apo E (2.42 ± 0.03 fmol/μg protein) more than HA (1.21 ± 0.01 fmol/μg protein) did even after deleting the high-abundance proteins, such as albumin. The results demonstrated that OCP exhibits a similar property but distinct capacity with HA in adsorbing bone formation-related proteins from the serum constituents. 相似文献

Adherence to cells and matrices participates in lymphocyte migration and tissue localization and contributes to the regulation of growth and differentiation of the lymphoid cells. The adherence is mainly mediated by three families of cell-surface proteins: integrins, immunoglobulin (Ig)-related molecules, and selectins. Integrins recognize Ig-related molecules such as ICAMs as well as fibronectin (FN), vitronectin (VN), and other matrix proteins. In this study, the in vitro adhesive properties of two Epstein—Barr virus-carrying B lymphoblastoid cell lines, IB-4 and NAD-20, were compared. IB-4 cells grow as a monolayer in contrast to NAD-20 cells, which grow as cell clusters. IB-4 cells were found to adhere to the tissue culture vessel through a component of the fetal bovine serum. By using blocking monoclonal antibodies to cell-surface molecules and serum proteins, IB-4 cells were found to use αVβ3 integrin (CD51/CD61) and serum VN as the adhesive molecules. αVβ3 integrin also mediated adhesion of IB-4 cells to human serum VN and to purified VN and FN. This constitutive adherence was not enhanced by phorbol ester treatment and was inhibited by RGD-containing peptides, in contrast to the homotypic adhesion of NAD-20 cells, which was mediated by β2 integrin CD11a/CD18 and its ligand ICAM-1 (CD54). Since VN is a component of both lymphoid tissue matrix and plasma, adhesion to this protein may affect functions and activities of B lymphocytes. 相似文献

A biologically active variant form of recombinant human secretin was produced using a gene fusion system designed to facilitate the purification of the protein. The fusion protein was recovered from the culture medium of Escherichia coli by IgG affinity chromatography, and recombinant secretin was released by cyanogen bromide treatment. A novel approach involving addition of a C-terminal Gly-Lys-Arg extension, was used to overcome the lack of amidation of recombinant proteins in Escherichia coli. The biological activity of the recombinant variant of secretin was at least 80% of the porcine secretin standard. 相似文献

Characterization of a novel gelatin-binding 21 kDa protein secreted by cultured adherent cells 总被引:1,自引:0,他引:1
A novel gelatin-binding 21 kDa protein was identified in the culture medium of fibroblastic and sarcoma cells by affinity chromatography on gelatin-Sepharose. Its affinity for gelatin was lower than that of the other gelatin-binding proteins, fibronectin and the 70 kDa protein, as judged by stepwise elution by urea and arginine. The protein bound also to spermine and to some extent to heparin but not to staphylococcal protein A, bovine serum albumin, concanavalin A or plain Sepharose 4B. In gel filtration chromatography the protein eluted in fractions differing from those of fibronectin and the Mr 70,000 protein and retained its ability to bind to gelatin-Sepharose, indicating that the binding was not mediated by the two other gelatin-binding proteins. It contains intrachain disulfide bridges, as judged by analysis under nonreducing and reducing conditions. The protein is composed of two major subtypes with pI values of 5.85-6.10 and 6.55-6.75. It was sensitive to trypsin but not to collagenase or thrombin. Antiserum was raised in rabbits against the gelatin-binding proteins isolated from serum-free conditioned fibroblast culture medium. The antiserum reacted with fibronectin, the Mr 70,000 protein and the Mr 21,000 protein in immunoprecipitation experiments. Absorption of the antiserum with human plasma fibronectin did not decrease its reactivity with the Mr 70,000 and 21,000 proteins. However, absorption with the Mr 70,000 protein abolished also the reactivity against the Mr 21,000 protein, suggesting immunological cross-reactivity. The protein was synthesized independently from the Mr 70,000 protein, as shown by pulse-chase labeling experiments of cells. The production of the Mr 21,000 protein in cultured cells was enhanced by transforming growth factor-beta. 相似文献

The uptake and degradation of bovine serum albumin (BSA), bovine liver catalase, and rabbit muscle enolase have been studied in cultured mouse peritoneal macrophages (MPM) and baby hamster kidney fibroblasts (BHK cells). Rates constant for the uptake of the three proteins by MPM were similar. In addition, BSA accumulation was independent of BSA concentration in the uptake medium and was not inhibited by a large excess of serum, suggesting that protein accumulation was by fluid phase pinocytosis. Following an overnight uptake, 20-30% of the accumulated protein was subsequently regurgitated into the medium in a trichloroacetic acid/phosphotungstic acid-precipitable form. This material co-migrated with the authentic protein during molecular sieve chromatography on Sephadex G-50. The rates of appearance of trichloroacetic acid/phosphotungstic acid-insoluble products were greater than expected for cell death and leakage. The observed first order rate constants, kobs, for the appearance of trichloroacetic acid/phosphotungstic acid-soluble and trichloroacetic acid/phosphotungstic acid-insoluble products in the culture medium were identical, indicating that both products were released in parallel from MPM and BHK cells. The kobs for intracellular BSA degradation and regurgitation were independent of the initial BSA concentration in the uptake medium, but were decreased about 35% when degradation was allowed to proceed in the presence of high concentrations of serum. Degradation was also inhibited by chloroquine and pepstatin. Inhibition of degradation was accompanied by an increase in the total amount of regurgitated protein appearing in the medium. Remarkably, however, these inhibitors also decreased kobs for regurgitation, thereby preserving the similarity in the observed rate constants for the appearance of trichloroacetic acid/phosphotungstic acid-soluble and trichloroacetic acid/phosphotungstic acid-insoluble products. These and other results were inconsistent with desorption of proteins from the surface of the culture dish or the surface of cells as the source of the trichloroacetic acid/phosphotungstic acid-insoluble label appearing in the medium.(ABSTRACT TRUNCATED AT 400 WORDS) 相似文献

Bovine trophoblast protein-1 (bTP-1) was isolated to 90% purity from culture medium of Day 18-20 conceptuses incubated in vitro (in the presence of L-[3H]leucine) by a combination of Sephacryl S-200 gel filtration chromatography and O-(diethylaminoethyl) (DEAE) anion-exchange high-performance liquid chromatography (DEAE-HPLC). The radiolabeled protein had an Mr of 21,200 +/- 800 by one-dimensional sodium dodecyl sulfate-polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis (SDS-PAGE) and had three isoelectric variants (pI 5.7-6.5) by two-dimensional SDS-PAGE. DEAE-HPLC-enriched bTP-1 cross-reacted with anti-o TP-1 serum on Western blots. A monospecific antiserum against bTP-1 was produced by excising the bTP-1 polypeptide band from preparative SDS-PAGE gels. Antiserum reacted with a single polypeptide with an Mr of 21,200 as determined by Western blotting of SDS-PAGE-separated conceptus medium proteins and by immunoprecipitation from L-[35S]methionine-labeled medium proteins followed by SDS-PAGE and autoradiography. Bovine trophoblast protein-1 was localized by immunocytochemistry in the cytoplasm of both mono- and binuclear trophectoderm cells of Day 20 bovine conceptuses, indicating that it is a product of the trophoblast. 相似文献
