We explored the biochemical basis for the disorder pseudohypophosphatasia (PsHYPT) in one patient by examining the substrate specificity and localization of alkaline phosphatase (ALP) in cultured dermal fibroblasts. Despite substantial ALP activity, in cell homogenates, toward the artificial substrate 4-methyl-umbelliferyl phosphate (4-MUP), there was a marked deficiency in ALP activity toward the natural substrates pyridoxal 5'-phosphate (PLP) and phosphoethanolamine (PEA), indicating altered substrate specificity. Furthermore, although 4-MUP phosphatase (4-MUP-P'tase) activity was predominantly localized as an ecto-enzyme, the small amount of PLP phosphatase (PLP-P'tase) activity was intracellular. This differential localization was apparent in intact cells, since (1) brief acidification of the medium at 4 degrees C inactivated a majority of the 4-MUP-P'tase activity but only 15% of the PLP-P'tase activity (in contrast to greater than 85% inactivation of both in homogenates), (2) greater than 70% of the 4-MUP-P'tase activity but only 30% of the PLP-P'tase activity was released by phosphatidylinositol-specific phospholipase C (PI-PLC) digestion, and (3) degradation of extracellular PLP was less than 35% of that of disrupted cells. Both 4-MUP- and PLP-P'tase activities were predominantly in a lipid-anchored form that could be converted to a soluble, lipid-free form by PI-PLC digestion. Our findings suggest that the clinical and biochemical presentation of this PSHPT patient results from the production of two aberrant ALP species. One form of ALP has appropriate ectoorientation but is preferentially deficient in activity toward natural substrates; the other ALP species has appropriate substrate specificity but is sequestered from substrates by its intracellular location. 相似文献

A comparative study of karyotypes and neutrophil alkaline phosphatase (NAP) was carried out for 70 parents (35 couples) of trisomy 21 children and their 35 trisomy 21 children and for 110 control parents (55 couples) and their normal children. In the trisomy 21 families we found a significant increase in NAP: mother P less than 10-4; father P less than 10-4; children P less than 10-9; the NAP level in affected child is approximately equal to the sum of the NAP levels of the two parents (P = 0.80; sigma2 = 5%). In one parent of a trisomy 21 child, a karyotype anomaly was present. 相似文献

We have previously shown that a factor termed neutrophil alkaline phosphatase-inducing factor (NAP-IF) has the capacity to induce neutrophil alkaline phosphatase (NAP) in postmitotic granulocytes (PMGs). This factor has characteristics similar to those of granulocyte colony-stimulating factor (G-CSF), suggesting that the two factors assayed by different methods may be attributable to an identical macromolecule. In a preliminary experiment, we showed that purified natural G-CSF (nG-CSF) could induce NAP in vitro in the presence of 10% (v/v) fetal calf serum (FCS). In this study, purified human nG-CSF and recombinant G-CSF (rG-CSF) induced NAP in granulocytes from both normal individuals and patients with chronic myelogenous leukemia in a dose-dependent fashion in serum-free and serum-containing culture conditions. The induction of NAP by G-CSF was detectable at 0.4 ng/ml and became maximal between 10 and 20 ng/ml. Anti-G-CSF serum incubated with either NAP-IF or rG-CSF inhibited induction of NAP. Morphological examinations revealed that granulocytes cultured with G-CSF were more mature than those cultured without G-CSF, indicating that G-CSF promoted maturation of granulocytes in parallel with NAP induction. These results indicate that NAP-IF in the cystic fluid of a human squamous cell carcinoma is identical to G-CSF and that induction of NAP by G-CSF is really a reflection of cell maturation promoted by G-CSF. 相似文献

To clarify its physiologic role, alkaline phosphatase (ALP) was examined in normal skin fibroblasts and was shown to be the tissue-nonspecific (TNS) isoenzyme type (as evidenced by heat and inhibition profiles) and to be active toward millimolar concentrations of the putative natural substrates phosphoethanolamine (PEA) and pyridoxal-5'-phosphate (PLP). Fibroblast ALP has a low-affinity activity, with a distinctly alkaline pH optimum (9.3), toward 4-methylumbelliferyl phosphate (4-MUP), PEA, and PLP but a more physiologic pH optimum (8.3) toward physiologic concentrations (micromolar) of PEA and PLP. Normal fibroblast ALP is linked to the outside of the plasma membrane, since in intact cell monolayers (1) dephosphorylation rates of the membrane-impermeable substrates PEA and PLP in the medium at physiologic pH were similar to those observed with disrupted cell monolayers, (2) brief exposure to acidic medium resulted in greater than 90% inactivation of the total ALP activity, and (3) digestion with phosphatidylinositol-specific phospholipase C (PI-PLC) released about 80% of the ALP activity. Hypophosphatasia fibroblasts were markedly deficient (2%-5% control values) in alkaline and physiologic ALP activity when 4-MUP, PLP, and PEA were used as substrate. The majority of the detectable ALP activity, however, appeared to be properly lipid anchored in ecto-orientation. Thus, our findings of genetic deficiency of PEA- and PLP-phosphatase activity in hypophosphatasia fibroblasts, as well as our biochemical findings, indicate that TNS-ALP acts physiologically as a lipid-anchored PEA and PLP ectophosphatase. 相似文献

Using a novel fluorimetric assay for pyridoxal phosphate phosphatase, human polymorphonuclear leucocytes were found to exhibit both acid an alkaline activities. The neutrophils were homogenised in isotonic sucrose and subjected to analytical subcellular fractionation by sucrose density gradient centrigfugation. The alkaline pyridoxal phosphate phosphatase showed a very similar distribution to alkaline phosphatase an was located solely to the phosphasome granules. Fractionation experiments on neutrophils treated with isotonic sucrose containing digitonin and inhibitor studies with diazotised sulphanilic acid and levamisole further confirmed that both enzyme activities had similar locations and properties. Acid pyridoxal phosphate phosphatase activity was located primarily to the tertiary granule with a partial azurophil distribution. Fractionation studies on neutrophils homogenised in isotonic sucrose containing digitonin and specific inhibitor studies showed that acid pyridoxal phosphate phosphatase and acid phosphatase were not the result of a single enzyme activity, Neutrophils were isolated from control subjects, patients with chronic granulocytic leukaemia and patients in the third trimester of pregnancy. The specific activities (munits/mg protein) of alkaline pyridoxal phosphate phosphatase an alkaline phosphatase varied widely in the three groups and the alterations occurred in a parallel manner. The specific activities of acid pyridoxal phosphate phosphatase and of acid phosphatase were similar in the three groups. These results, together with the fractionation experiments and inhibition studies strongly suggest that pyridoxal phosphate is a physiological substrate for neutrophil alkaline phosphatase. 相似文献

Summary A study of karyotypes and neutrophil alkaline phosphatase (NAP) was carried out for 66 parents (33 couples) of trisomy 21 children and for 60 control parents (30 couples). Enzyme activity was determined simultaneously by biochemical and cytochemical techniques. In the mothers of trisomy 21 children we found: (a) by biochemical techniques, a significant increase of NAP activity in polymorphonuclear leukocyte (PMN) homogenates (P<0.01) and a lower supernatant/pellet ratio (P<0.01); (b) by cytochemical techniques (with or without thermal and urea treatments) NAP activity was significantly higher (P<0.001) than in control mothers; in the fathers, the two techniques gave normal NAP activity results. 相似文献

Neutrophil responses to lipopolysaccharide. Effect of adherence on triggering and priming of the respiratory burst. 总被引:4,自引:0,他引:4
We studied neutrophil responses to LPS using three methodologic refinements: Teflon bags or serum-coated glass tubes that did not directly trigger neutrophils, LPS-free cytochrome c to measure O2- release, and heat-inactivated serum to inhibit inactivation of LPS by neutrophils. Neutrophils incubated in uncoated glass or plastic tubes adhered to the glass and released O2-, but were not primed for enhanced release of O2- in response to triggering by FMLP. Triggering by the glass or plastic surface did not occur if the neutrophils were stirred to prevent adherence. Adherence to glass or plastic and O2- release were not affected by a mAb (IB4) directed against the beta-chain of the leukocyte adhesion family of surface glycoproteins (CD11/CD18). Neutrophils incubated in glass or plastic did not show enhanced expression of alkaline phosphatase on their surface. When neutrophils were incubated in serum-coated glass tubes or in Teflon bags, there was no O2- release. However, adherence, expression of alkaline phosphatase, and release of O2- were triggered by adding 1 ng/ml LPS plus 1% serum, but not by either LPS or serum alone. In the presence of LPS and serum, O2- release was much higher when the cells were unstirred (adherent) rather than stirred. However, both unstirred and stirred cells expressed a similar elevated level of alkaline phosphatase. LPS-triggered O2- release and adherence were inhibited by antibody IB4. In contrast, priming by LPS for enhanced FMLP-triggered O2- release was greater in stirred cells than in unstirred cells. The antibody enhanced priming of unstirred neutrophils. These results suggested that uncoated glass or plastic triggered O2- release without involvement of leukocyte adhesion glycoproteins. However, neutrophils incubated with LPS and serum expressed alkaline phosphatase and IB4-inhibitable adherence glycoproteins that allowed neutrophils to interact with serum-coated glass or Teflon to trigger O2- release. Priming by LPS for enhanced response to FMLP was suppressed in adherent neutrophils, and this suppression was partly released by IB4. Thus, triggering and priming were reciprocally regulated by neutrophil glycoproteins interacting with surfaces. 相似文献

Summary In the rabbit and bovine cornea the activity of alkaline phosphatase using histochemical as well as biochemical methods was investigated. Biochemically the enzyme activity was studied in separated corneal layers. In the histochemical investigation the best results were obtained in cryostat sections using the azocoupling method with naphthol AS-MX phosphate and Variamine Blue RT Salt. The enzyme activity was found not only in the epithelium and endothelium (as was described previously) but even in keratocytes. The mutual relation of activities in the epithelium and in keratocytes differed in both species. The overall activity found by histochemical methods is in good agreement with the biochemical determination of alkaline phosphatase (p-nitrophenyl phosphate as the substrate). Besides the histochemical approach shows an uneven distribution of alkaline phosphatase activity in individual cells which cannot be assessed by the biochemical determination. 相似文献

Alkaline phosphatase catalyzes the hydrolytic cleavage of the P-F bond in monofluorophosphate with the subsequent release of fluoride ions. A kinetic potentiometric method is described in which a fluoride ion-selective electrode is used for the sensitive and selective measurement of the released F- for the determination of alkaline phosphatase activity. It is shown that monofluorophosphate can be used as an alternative substrate for alkaline phosphatase. The reaction demonstrates a well-defined correlation with the hydrolysis of the P-O bond in 4-nitrophenyl phosphate. The serum alkaline phosphatase was determined in human serum samples by the potentiometric technique, and the results obtained compared well with a standard spectrophotometric method. 相似文献

Solid-phase immunoassay of dog neutrophil elastase 总被引:6,自引:0,他引:6
A sensitive and reliable method has been developed for the detection of dog neutrophil elastase using the amplified enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay. Purified neutrophil enzyme, inactivated by diisopropylfluorophosphate was adsorbed noncovalently to polystyrene tubes (11 × 55 mm) and immune rabbit serum was allowed to bind to antigen-sensitized tubes. Bound specific antibody was visualized by goat antirabbit immunoglobulin covalently lined to alkaline phosphatase, using p-nitrophenyl phosphate as the substrate. Increasing amounts of purified neutrophil enzyme or crude leukocyte extracts were quantitated by their ability to inhibit specific antibody uptake to polystyrene tubes. By this method, as little as 1 ng of enzyme/ml could be detected with a useful range of 5–100 ng of enzyme levels. Immunoreactive enzyme in a crude leukocyte extract was comparable to the quantily of enzyme as measured by proteolytic activity. The method described can be conveniently used to measure levels of immunoreactive enzymes in biological fluids of animals, with experimentally induced inflammatory conditions. 相似文献

A monoclonal antibody which is specific for human placental alkaline phosphatase and does not cross-react at all with intestinal alkaline phosphatase was prepared, and a procedure for the determination of placental alkaline phosphatase activity in serum was developed involving this monoclonal antibody bound to a paper disk. The minimum amount of placental alkaline phosphatase detectable by this method is 0.0025 King-Armstrong unit. Good correlation with the heat-treatment method was obtained. Therefore this proposed method can be used as a routine clinical test for the determination of serum placental alkaline phosphatase. 相似文献

High Level Expression of Tissue-Nonspecific Alkaline Phosphatase in the Milk of Transgenic Rabbits 总被引:1,自引:1,他引:0

Alkaline phosphatase is a promising therapeutic agent in the Gram-negative bacterial lipopolysaccharide (LPS) mediated acute and chronic diseases. Contrary to other alkaline phosphatase isozymes, purified tissue-nonspecific alkaline phosphatase (TNAP) is not available in large quantities from tissue sources, which would enable to analyse its efficacy in animal sepsis models. Two transgenic rabbit lines were created by pronuclear microinjection with the whey acidic protein promoter-humanTNAP minigene (WAP-hTNAP). Lactating females of both lines produced biologically active human TNAP. As indicated by fractionation of milk samples the recombinant alkaline phosphatase was associated with the membrane of milk fat globules. Alkaline phosphatase enzymatic activity was two orders of magnitude higher compared to normal human serum levels. The demonstration that this TNAP is physiologically active would provide the clue to use transgenic animals as bioreactor for bulk production of the human tissue-nonspecific alkaline phosphatase in milk. This may be a valuable and possibly viable option with important implication in attenuating LPS mediated inflammatory responses. 相似文献

The most informative indexes of alkaline phosphatase activity in neutrophil granulocytes from the peripheral blood and in neutrophil granulocytes and fibroblasts from the wound were defined in the experimental study carried out on 60 rats. These indexes were used to reveal the relationship between blood system reactions and inflammatory and regeneration processes in the wound tissue. The division of neutrophil granulocytes into three functional groups in accordance with alkaline phosphatase activity was demonstrated to be reasonable. The progress of inflammatory and regeneration processes in the wound tissues was shown to be adequately reflected in changes of both general and relative number of blood circulating neutrophil granulocytes of the third functional group characterized by high alkaline phosphatase activity. The results of the study demonstrate that the cytophotometric method is highly informative. It can be used in the clinical practice for an objective evaluation of the wound healing process as well as for an estimation of the treatment efficacy. 相似文献

Neutrophil alkaline phosphatase (NAP) from 12 mothers of normal children was investigated and the results compared to those of 7 mothers with trisomy 21 offsprings, in an attempt to determine a parental molecular change in this chromosomal abnormality. The biochemical properties of the enzyme were analyzed by the procedures of isoenzyme characterization, i.e. enzyme assays, thermostability, inhibition patterns and slab gel electrophoresis. Immunological properties were determined on 5 samples from normal mothers and on the same sample number of mothers with affected children. In these latter NAP showed characteristics that were to some extent different from the ones of normal controls. The following changes were observed: highly significant loading of membrane and nucleus pellets in NAP activity, poor effect of inhibitors on thermostable component and immunodepletion measured by a significant decrease of the normal affinity for antiliver and antiplacental alkaline phosphatase antisera. These findings are discussed in the light of our knowledge of alkaline phosphatase isoenzymes. 相似文献

Fluorogenic substrates based on fluorinated umbelliferones for continuous assays of phosphatases and beta-galactosidases. 总被引:1,自引:0,他引:1

Fluorogenic substrates based on 4-methylumbelliferone (4-MU) have been widely used for the detection of phosphatase and glycosidase activities. One disadvantage of these substrates, however, is that maximum fluorescence of the reaction product requires an alkaline pH, since 4-MU has a pK(a) approximately 8. In an initial screening of five phosphatase substrates based on fluorinated derivatives of 4-MU, all with pK(a) values lower than that of 4-MU, we found that one substrate, 6,8-difluoro-4-methylumbelliferyl phosphate (DiFMUP), was much improved for the detection of acid phosphatase activity. When measured at the preferred acid phosphatase reaction pH (5.0), DiFMUP yielded fluorescence signals that were more than 10-fold higher than those of 4-methylumbelliferyl phosphate (MUP). DiFMUP was also superior to MUP for the detection of protein phosphatase 1 activity at pH 7 and was just as sensitive as MUP for the detection of alkaline phosphatase activity at pH 10. A beta-galactosidase substrate was also prepared based on 6, 8-difluoro-4-methylumbelliferone. This substrate, 6, 8-difluoro-4-methylumbelliferyl beta-d-galactopyranoside (DiFMUG), was found to be considerably more sensitive than the commonly used substrate 4-methylumbelliferyl beta-d-galactopyranoside (MUG), for the detection of beta-galactosidase activity at pH 7. DiFMUP and DiFMUG should have great utility for the continuous assay of phosphatase and beta-galactosidase activity, respectively, at neutral and acid pH. 相似文献

Pyridoxal 5'-phosphate: a possible physiological substrate for alkaline phosphatase in human neutrophils 总被引:3,自引:0,他引:3
The intracellular localization of pyridoxal phosphatase activity was demonstrated in human neutrophils by electron microscope cytochemistry. Under alkaline conditions, an enzyme active against pyridoxal phosphate was localized to a cytoplasmic granule population, the phosphasome. These granules have previously been shown by electron microscope cytochemical techniques and by subcellular fractionation to be rich in alkaline phosphatase. Under acidic conditions, a phosphatase activity against pyridoxal phosphate was localized to intracellular multilamellar bodies resembling secondary lysosomes. These were quite distinct from the primary, secondary and phosphasome granules and this unique localization corresponds to that previously demonstrated (tertiary granules) by subcellular fractionation studies of these cells. The similarity in the enzyme reaction requirements of alkaline pyridoxal phosphatase and alkaline phosphatase, and their localization to the same subcellular organelle, suggests that pyridoxal phosphate may be a physiological substrate for human neutrophil alkaline phosphatase. 相似文献

Summary A fluorimetric method is described for the measurement of the activity of a range of soil enzymes. The method is based on
the measurement of 4-methylumbelliferone (MUB), a fluorescent product liberated on hydrolysis of the enzyme substrate. The
main advantage of the method over colorimetric techniques is that separation of MUB from the soil is unnecessary and the method
is therefore suitable for routine, automated analyses. The method was used to measure the activity of β-cellobiase, β-galactosaminidase,
β-glucosidase and β-xylosidase over a wide range of substrate concentration and in a range of soils. Kinetic parameters are
reported for these enzymes. The method was also shown to be suitable for the assay of arylsulphatase and acid and alkaline
phosphatase in soil. The technique should be applicable to a wide range of soil hydrolases, using the same assay methods. 相似文献

A fluorometric procedure for the detection of DNA-DNA hybrids is described. The procedure involved the detection of probe-bound alkaline phosphatase with the fluorescent substrate ATTOPHOS. This substrate is converted to ATTOFLUOR by alkaline phosphatase and fluoresces strongly at 550 nm when excited with a wavelength of 440 nm. DNA hybridization assays were performed both with dilutions of purified target plasmid DNA (pSE9 or PBR322) and whole bacterial cells. Streptavidin-alkaline phosphatase conjugates were added to react with bound probe. Fluorometric assays, as well as colorimetric assays, using 5-bromo-4-chloro-3-indolylphosphate + nitroblue tetrazolium for alkaline phosphatase activity were performed. The fluorescence of the substrate was measured at time intervals, and the slope of the regression line calculated. A slope four times greater than that of background was considered positive. One hundred femtograms or 2.2 x 10(4) molecules of homologous DNA were detected with the fluorescent assay as compared with 10,000 femtograms or 2.2 x 10(6) molecules of homologous DNA with the colorimetric assay. Similar results were obtained with whole cells. Approximately 1 x 10(3) homologous cells were detected fluorometrically and 1 x 10(5) cells were detected colorimetrically. Based on these results, we conclude that, in our hands, the DNA hybridization assay described here using ATTOPHOS as the substrate for alkaline phosphatase is a very sensitive assay for the detection of DNA-DNA hybrids. 相似文献

A method in which a two-enzyme cascade is used for rapid and sensitive detection of alkaline phosphatase is described. A masked inhibitor, 4-(3-oxo-4,4,4-trifluorobutyl)phenyl phosphate, is dephosphorylated by the action of alkaline phosphatase. The resulting compound, 1,1,1-trifluoro-4-(4-hydroxyphenyl)-butan-2-one, acts as a potent inhibitor of the second enzyme, a liver carboxylesterase. A determination of the residual esterase activity provides a highly sensitive indication of the original phosphatase concentration. The sensitivity of this dual-enzyme cascade is approximately 125-fold greater than that observed for the direct detection of phosphatase activity with p-nitrophenyl phosphate. 相似文献

OBJECTIVE--To investigate the value of measuring maternal urea resistant neutrophil alkaline phosphatase activity as an antenatal screening test for Down''s syndrome. DESIGN--Case-control study of blood samples collected at nine to 27 weeks of pregnancy. SETTING--Antenatal clinics in London and Oxford. PATIENTS--72 Women whose fetuses had been diagnosed by amniocentesis or chorionic villus sampling as having Down''s syndrome and 156 women whose fetuses did not have the syndrome. Only singleton pregnancies were studied. MAIN OUTCOME MEASURE--Activity of urea resistant neutrophil alkaline phosphatase measured cytochemically. RESULTS--The median enzyme activity in the index patients was 1.65 times the expected median for the controls at the same duration of pregnancy (p less than 0.0001; 95% confidence interval 1.56 to 1.74). A cut off value that identified the 5% of control patients with the highest activities yielded a rate of detection of Down''s syndrome of 79% (95% confidence interval 70 to 89%). CONCLUSION--Activity of urea resistant neutrophil alkaline phosphatase is an effective maternal blood marker for Down''s syndrome. Its use in antenatal screening could lead to a substantial improvement in the detection of this disorder. Before introducing the test into routine medical practice it will have to be automated so that it can be used on a large scale and is less subjective. 相似文献
