The presence of collagens type I, type III and type V was determined immunohistochemically in pancreatic tissue of rat, pig, dog and man. The reaction to anti-collagen type I is weak (pig, dog) or moderate (rat, man) in the peri-insular region and in the lobar, lobular and acinar septa, whereas the reaction to anti-collagen type III is well developed. In rat and dog, the latter reaction deposit on the lobar and acinar septa is prominent. These elements only show a moderate reaction intensity in pig and man. The peri-insular region displays a weak (rat, dog, man) or very weak (pig) reaction against collagen type III. Anti-collagen type V reacts moderately (rat, dog, man) or weakly (pig) in the lobar and lobular septa. The acinar septa show a moderate (rat, dog, man) or very weak (pig) reaction. This information regarding the types and distribution of the collagenous compounds in pancreatic extracellular matrix could lead to differentiated enzymatic pancreas dissociation and, ultimately, increased islet yield and improved reproducibility of pancreatic islet isolation procedures for transplantation purposes. 相似文献

Adenylyl cyclase activity plays a central role in the regulation of most cellular processes. At least eight different adenylyl cyclases have been identified, which are endowed with various and sometimes opposing regulatory properties. Recently we have localized the human genes encoding two of these adenylyl cyclases: the gene for type 11 adenylyl cyclase is located on chromosome 2 (sub-band 2p15.3), the gene for type VIII is located on chromosome 8 (sub-band 8824.2). More recently the type I gene has been located on chromosome 7 (sub-band 7pl2–7p13). Using in situ hybridization, we have now localized the genes for three other adenylyl cyclases: the type III gene has been localized on chromosome 2 in the sub-band 2p22–2p24, the type V gene on chromosome 3 at position 3q13.2–3q21, and the type VI gene on chromosome 12 at position 12q12–12q13. It therefore appears that all adenylyl cyclase genes, known at present are located on different chromosomes and thus are likely to be independently regulated. 相似文献

Adeno-associated viruses (AAV) are utilized as gene transfer vectors in the treatment of monogenic disorders. A variant, rationally engineered based on natural AAV2 isolates, designated AAV-True Type (AAV-TT), is highly neurotropic compared to wild type AAV2 in vivo, and vectors based on it, are currently being evaluated for central nervous system applications. AAV-TT differs from AAV2 by 14 amino acids, including R585S and R588T, two residues previously shown to be essential for heparan sulfate binding of AAV2. The capsid structures of AAV-TT and AAV2 visualized by cryo-electron microscopy at 3.4 and 3.0 Å resolution, respectively, highlighted structural perturbations at specific amino acid differences. Differential scanning fluorimetry (DSF) performed at different pH conditions demonstrated that the melting temperature (Tm) of AAV2 was consistently ∼5 °C lower than AAV-TT, but both showed maximal stability at pH 5.5, corresponding to the pH in the late endosome, proposed as required for VP1u externalization to facilitate endosomal escape. Reintroduction of arginines at positions 585 and 588 in AAV-TT caused a reduction in Tm, demonstrating that the lack of basic amino acids at these positions are associated with capsid stability. These results provide structural and thermal annotation of AAV2/AAV-TT residue differences, that account for divergent cell binding, transduction, antigenic reactivity, and transduction of permissive tissues between the two viruses. Specifically, these data indicate that AAV-TT may not utilize a glycan receptor mediated pathway to enter cells and may have lower antigenic properties as compared to AAV2. 相似文献

The structures of N-glycans of total glycoproteins in royal jelly have been explored to clarify whether antigenic N-glycans occur in the famous health food. The structural feature of N-glycans linked to glycoproteins in royal jelly was first characterized by immunoblotting with an antiserum against plant complex type N-glycan and lectin-blotting with Con A and WGA. For the detail structural analysis of such N-glycans, the pyridylaminated (PA-) N-glycans were prepared from hydrazinolysates of total glycoproteins in royal jelly and each PA-sugar chain was purified by reverse-phase HPLC and size-fractionation HPLC. Each structure of the PA-sugar chains purified was identified by the combination of two-dimensional PA-sugar chain mapping, ESI-MS and MS/MS analyses, sequential exoglycosidase digestions, and 500 MHz 1H-NMR spectrometry. The immunoblotting and lectinblotting analyses preliminarily suggested the absence of antigenic N-glycan bearing beta1-2 xylosyl and/or alpha1-3 fucosyl residue(s) and occurrence of beta1-4GlcNAc residue in the insect glycoproteins. The detailed structural analysis of N-glycans of total royal jelly glycoproteins revealed that the antigenic N-glycans do not occur but the typical high mannose-type structure (Man(9 to approximately 4)GlcNAc2) occupies 71.6% of total N-glycan, biantennary-type structures (GlcNAc2Man3 GlcNAc2) 8.4%, and hybrid type structure (GlcNAc1 Man4GlcNAc2) 3.0%. Although the complete structures of the remaining 17% N-glycans; C4, (HexNAc3 Hex3HexNAc2: 3.0%), D2 (HexNAc2Hex5HexNAc2: 4.5%), and D3 (HexNAc3Hex4HexNAc2: 9.5%) are still obscure so far, ESI-MS analysis, exoglycosidase digestions by two kinds of beta-N-acetylglucosaminidase, and WGA blotting suggested that these N-glycans might bear a beta1-4 linkage N-acetylglucosaminyl residue. 相似文献

FBJ virus-induced osteosarcoma contains type I, type I trimer, type III as well as type V collagens 总被引:1,自引:0,他引:1
The FBJ osteosarcoma (a virus-induced osteosarcoma named after its discoverers, Finkel, Biskis, and Jinkins) contains an extensive extracellular matrix. Collagens were extracted by digestion with pepsin in dilute acetic acid from tumors grown in lathyritic mice and fractionated by differential salt precipitation, yielding five fractions. Fraction 1 (precipitated at acidic 0.7 M and neutral 2.0 M NaCl) gave rise mainly to alpha 1(III) chain on phosphocellulose column chromatography. The alpha 1(III) chain was identified by its typical behavior on interrupted electrophoresis and analysis of the CNBr-cleaved peptides. The alpha 1(III) chain of the FBJ tumor had a high content of hydroxylysine and neutral saccharide. Fraction 2 (precipitated at acidic 0.7 M and neutral 4.5 M NaCl) yielded alpha 1(I) and alpha 2(I) chains on the phosphocellulose column from which alpha 1(I) was eluted as a broad peak, conceivably reflecting a high content of hydroxylysine and neutral saccharide. Fraction 4 (precipitated at acidic 1.2 M and neutral 4.5 M NaCl) yielded type V collagen, which also featured an exceptionally high content of neutral saccharide (Yamagata, S., et al. (1982) Biochem. Biophys. Res. Commun. 105, 1208-1214). The proportions of type I, type I trimer, type III, and type V collagens extracted by pepsin digestion from FBJ tumor were calculated to be 33, 29, 26, and 12%, respectively. The FBJ tumor is free from invasion by blood vessels, shows no deposition of calcium, and thus has the appearance of cartilage. But type II collagen, a specific gene product of cartilage, could not be identified in any of the fractions analyzed. Contrary to its appearance, collagen type analyses indicate that FBJ osteosarcoma is literally induced from osteogenic cells. 相似文献

Distribution of extracellular matrix proteins type I collagen, type IV collagen, fibronectin, and laminin in mouse folliculogenesis 总被引:2,自引:1,他引:1
The extracellular matrix (ECM) plays a prominent role in ovarian function by participating in processes such as cell migration, proliferation, growth, and development. Although some of these signaling processes have been characterized in the mouse, the relative quantity and distribution of ECM proteins within developing follicles of the ovary have not been characterized. This study uses immunohistochemistry and real-time PCR to characterize the ECM components type I collagen, type IV collagen, fibronectin, and laminin in the mouse ovary according to follicle stage and cellular compartment. Collagen I was present throughout the ovary, with higher concentrations in the ovarian surface epithelium and follicular compartments. Collagen IV was abundant in the theca cell compartment with low-level expression in the stroma and granulosa cells. The distribution of collagen was consistent throughout follicle maturation. Fibronectin staining in the stroma and theca cell compartment increased throughout follicle development, while staining in the granulosa cell compartment decreased. Heavy staining was also observed in the follicular fluid of antral follicles. Laminin was localized primarily to the theca cell compartment, with a defined ring at the exterior of the follicular granulosa cells marking the basement membrane. Low levels of laminin were also apparent in the stroma and granulosa cell compartment. Taken together, the ECM content of the mouse ovary changes during follicular development and reveals a distinct spatial and temporal pattern. This understanding of ECM composition and distribution can be used in the basic studies of ECM function during follicle development, and could aid in the development of in vitro systems for follicle growth. 相似文献

Cochlin is colocalized with type II collagen in the extracellular matrix of cochlea and has been suggested to interact with this collagen. Here we show that the second von Willebrand type A domain of cochlin has affinity for type II collagen, as well as type I and type IV collagens whereas the LCCL-domain of cochlin has no affinity for these proteins. The implications of these findings for the mechanism whereby cochlin mutations cause the dominant negative DFNA9-type hearing loss are discussed.

We used microarray analysis with Affymetrix rat chips to determine gene expression profiles of freshly isolated rat type I (TI) and TII cells and cultured TII cells. Our goals were 1) to describe molecular phenotypic "fingerprints" of TI and TII cells, 2) to gain insight into possible functional differences between the two cell types through differentially expressed genes, 3) to identify genes that might indicate potential functions of TI cells, since so little is known about this cell type, and 4) to ascertain the similarities and differences in gene expression between cultured TII cells and freshly isolated TI cells. For these experiments, we used preparations of isolated TI and TII cells that contained <2% cross-contamination. With a false discovery rate of 1%, 601 genes demonstrated over twofold different expression between TI and TII cells. Those genes with very high levels of differential expression may be useful as markers of cell phenotype and in generating novel hypotheses about functions of TI and TII cells. We found similar numbers of differentially expressed genes between freshly isolated TI or TII cells and cultured TII cells (698, 637 genes) and freshly isolated TI and TII cells (601 genes). Tests of sameness/difference including cluster dendrograms and log/log identity plots indicated major differences between the phenotypes of freshly isolated TI cell and cultured type II cell populations. The latter results suggest that experiments with TII cells cultured under these conditions should be interpreted with caution with respect to biological relevance to TI or TII cells. 相似文献

Vitamin D seems to be involved in the control of prostate cancer cell growth. 17beta-Hydroxysteroid dehydrogenases type 2, type 4 and type 5 are enzymes which regulate intracellular concentration of active sex steroid hormones, which in turn, regulate the development, growth, and function of the prostate and play a role in the development and progression of prostate cancer. Using quantitative real-time PCR we find that calcitriol up-regulates HSD17B type 2, type 4 and type 5 in human prostate cancer LNCaP and PC3 cells but not in stromal cells. LXR agonist, TO-901317, suppresses the expression of HSD17B2 mRNA and inhibits calcitriol induced HSD17B2 expression. TO-901317 up-regulates the expression of HSD17B5 but not that of HSD17B4. 5alpha-Dihydrotestosterone up-regulates the expression of HSD17B2 and HSD17B4 but it significantly inhibits HSD17B5 expression by 70%. Calcitriol has no effect on DHT mediated expression of the three genes. The regulation of HSD17B2, HSD17B4 and HSD17B5 by ligands of LXR and VDR as well as AR in prostate cancer cells suggests a complex interaction of these signaling systems in the prostate. 相似文献

Trichloroethylene (TCE) oxidation was examined in 9 different methanotrophs grown under conditions favoring expression of the membrane associated methane monooxygenase. Depending on the strain, TCE oxidation rates varied from 1 to 677 pmol/min/mg cell protein. Levels of TCE in the reaction mixture were reduced to below 40 nmolar in some strains. Cells incubated in the presence of acetylene, a selective methane monooxygenase inhibitor, did not oxidize TCE.Cultures actively oxidizing TCE were monitored for the presence of the soluble methane monooxygenase (sMMO) and membrane associated enzyme (pMMO). Transmission electron micrographs revealed the cultures always contained the internal membrane systems characteristic of cells expressing the pMMO. Naphthalene oxidation by whole cells, or by the cell free, soluble or membrane fractions was never observed. SDS denaturing gels of the membrane fraction showed the polypeptides associated with the pMMO. Cells exposed to 14C-acetylene showed one labeled band at 26 kDa, and this protein was observed in the membrane fraction. In the one strain examined by EPR spectroscopy, the membrane fraction of TCE oxidizing cells showed the copper complexes characteristic of the pMMO. Lastly, most of the strains tested showed no hybridization to sMMO gene probes. These findings show that the pMMO is capable of TCE oxidation; although the rates are lower than those observed for the sMMO. 相似文献

Human type II arginase, which is extrahepatic and mitochondrial in location, catalyzes the hydrolysis of arginine to form ornithine and urea. While type I arginases function in the net production of urea for excretion of excess nitrogen, type II arginases are believed to function primarily in the net production of ornithine, a precursor of polyamines, glutamate, and proline. Type II arginases may also regulate nitric oxide biosynthesis by modulating arginine availability for nitric oxide synthase. Recombinant human type II arginase was expressed in Escherichia coli and purified to apparent homogeneity. The Km of arginine for type II arginase is approximately 4.8 mM at physiological pH. Type II arginase exists primarily as a trimer, although higher order oligomers were observed. Borate is a noncompetitive inhibitor of the enzyme, with a Kis of 0.32 mM and a Kii of 0.3 mM. Ornithine, a product of the reaction catalyzed by arginase and a potent inhibitor of type I arginase, is a poor inhibitor of the type II isozyme. The findings presented here indicate that isozyme-selectivity exists between type I and type II arginases for binding of substrate and products, as well as inhibitors. Therefore, inhibitors with greater isozyme-selectivity for type II arginase may be identified and utilized for the therapeutic treatment of smooth muscle disorders, such as erectile dysfunction. 相似文献

Summary Two siblings with a short-limb dwarfing condition which we call acromesomelic dysplasia, Hunter-Thompson type are reported. Abnormalities are limited to the limbs and limb joints in this severe form of dwarfism. The middle and distal
segments of the limbs are most affected. The lower limbs are more affected than the upper. We are aware of one previously
published case of this entity reported by A. G. W. Hunter and M. W. Thompson in 1976. Dislocations of the elbows and ankles
were present in all three patients and dislocations of the hips and knees in two. One of the siblings who did not have hip
and knee dislocations clinically resembled Grebe chondrodysplasia, another severe acromesomelic dwarfing condition. However,
radiological analysis suggests that while acromesomelic dysplasia, Hunter-Thompson type and Grebe chondrodysplasia are related,
they are not identical. Grebe chondrodysplasia has been established as an autosomal recessive trait. It appears probable that
the entity we describe has the same mode of genetic transmission. 相似文献
