Polarized epithelial cells secrete proteins at either the apical or basolateral cell surface. A number of non-epithelial secretory
proteins also exhibit polarized secretion when they are expressed in polarized epithelial cells but it is difficult to predict
where foreign proteins will be secreted in epithelial cells. The question is of interest since secretory epithelia are considered
as target tissues for gene therapy protocols that aim to express therapeutic secretory proteins. In the parathyroid gland,
parathyroid hormone is processed by furin and co-stored with chromogranin A in secretory granules. To test the secretion of
these proteins in epithelial cells, they were expressed in MDCK cells. Chromogranin A and a secreted form of furin were secreted
apically while parathyroid hormone was secreted 60% basolaterally. However, in the presence of chromogranin A, the secretion
of parathyroid hormone was 65% apical, suggesting that chromogranin can act as a “sorting escort” (sorting chaperone) for
parathyroid hormone. Conversely, apically secreted furin did not affect the sorting of parathyroid hormone. The apical secretion
of chromogranin A was dependent on cholesterol, suggesting that this protein uses an established cellular sorting mechanism
for apical secretion. However, this sorting does not involve the N-terminal membrane-binding domain of chromogranin A. These
results suggest that foreign secretory proteins can be used as “sorting escorts” to direct secretory proteins to the apical
secretory pathway without altering the primary structure of the secreted protein. Such a system may be of use in the targeted
expression of secretory proteins from epithelial cells.

Neonatal atria and ventricles secrete atrial natriuretic factor via tissue-specific secretory pathways 总被引:23,自引:0,他引:23
The cellular mechanisms regulating secretion of the peptide hormone atrial natriuretic factor (ANF) differ in neonatal atrial and ventricular cardiocytes. We demonstrate that although both cell types synthesize and secrete ANF, only atrial cells store peptide in abundant secretory granules. Neonatal ventricular cells secrete ANF rapidly after synthesis and lack secretory granules. We propose that ventricular ANF is released by a constitutive secretory pathway whereas atrial ANF is stored and released by a regulated pathway. Furthermore, ventricular ANF mRNA and hormone concentrations decrease during the first week of life. Developmental variation in the use of ANF secretory pathways may reflect changing requirements for maintenance of intravascular volume and pressure. Tissue-specific modulation of hormone secretory pathways appears to be a novel response to developmentally induced changes in the requirements for a peptide hormone. 相似文献

A secretory system can be considered a collection of packets of a stored substance, each pecket characterized by a threshold
to a stimulatory releasing agent. In terms of macroscopic release of the substance, the rate equation contains explicitly
and naturally the time derivative of the stimulus intensity. Elaboration of this general model for threshold secretory mechanisms
was motivated by insulin secretion data discussed here. Experimental data on the same type of secretory system (pancreas),
the hormone secretion as well as electrical characteristics of the secretory cells, lead to a conjecture that the packets
might be identified with the whole secretory cells, rather than the granules or vessicles of the stored hormone. 相似文献

Co-localization of secretogranins/chromogranins with thyrotropin and luteinizing hormone in secretory granules of cow anterior pituitary 总被引:4,自引:0,他引:4

We investigated the co-localization in secretory granules of secretogranins/chromogranins, thyrotropin, and luteinizing hormone in ultra-thin frozen sections of cow anterior pituitary by double immunoelectron microscopy, using specific antibodies and protein A-gold particles of different sizes. The distribution of secretogranin II, chromogranin A, and chromogranin B (secretogranin I) was largely similar. In cells containing secretory granules of relatively small size (100-300 nm) and low electron density (identified as thyrotrophs and gonadotrophs by immunolabeling for the respective hormone) and in cells containing both small (170-250 nm) and large (300-500 nm) secretory granules of low electron density (also identified as gonadotrophs), all three secretogranins/chromogranins were detected in most if not all granules, being co-localized with the hormone. In cells containing both relatively large (400-550 nm), electron-dense granules and small, less electron-dense secretory granules (150-300 nm), identified as somatomammotrophs by double immunolabeling for growth hormone and prolactin, all three secretogranins/chromogranins were predominantly detected in the subpopulation of small, less electron-dense granules containing neither growth hormone nor prolactin. Interestingly, this granule subpopulation of somatomammotrophs was also immunoreactive for thyrotropin and luteinizing hormone. These data show that somatomammotrophs of cow anterior pituitary are highly multihormonal, in that the same cell can produce and store in secretory granules up to four different hormones and, in addition, the three secretogranins/chromogranins. Moreover, selective localization of the secretogranins/chromogranins together with thyrotropin and luteinizing hormone in a subpopulation of secretory granules of somatomammotrophs indicates the preferential co-packaging of the secretogranins/chromogranins and these hormones during secretory granule formation. 相似文献

Summary Eel hemi-pituitaries were cultured in vitro on high or low sodium media, previously shown to affect differentially prolactin and growth hormone release. After 6 days culture, there were marked differences in the ultrastructure of both prolactin and growth hormone cells from the two groups. Morphometric data on the prolactin cells from SW-adapted eels showed a greater abundance of RER and paucity of secretory granules in cells from the low sodium medium. The size of the Golgi apparatus and the number of exocytosed secretory granules did not differ markedly between experimental groups, in contrast to previous findings on short-term cultures. Differences in the profile diameters of secretory granules are recorded between the experimental groups and the pattern differs markedly from that previously recorded for short-term cultures. The growth hormone cells from low sodium media were characterised by abundant, vesiculated RER, a prominent Golgi apparatus (in SW-adapted animals) and relatively few secretory granules. The activity of these growth hormone cells is in marked contrast to previous findings relating to short-term cultures. The shape and size of the non-granulated (stellate) cells of the RPD was again affected by the osmotic pressure of the medium.I should like to thank Mr. P.F. Hire for his photographic assistance 相似文献

Somatostatin is targeted to the regulated secretory pathway of gonadotrophs in transgenic mice expressing a metallothionein-somatostatin gene 总被引:2,自引:0,他引:2

The pituitaries of transgenic mice that express a metallothionein-somatostatin fusion gene contain high concentrations of somatostatin-14 exclusively in the gonadotrophic cells. The purpose of this study was to determine whether somatostatin expressed from the foreign fusion gene enters the normal secretory pathway within these cells. Immuno-gold labeling of serial thin sections localized somatostatin to the secretory granules of gonadotropin-producing cells. The gonadotroph-specific hypophysiotropic factor, luteinizing hormone-releasing hormone caused a dose-dependent secretion of somatostatin when applied to primary pituitary cultures from these mice. Growth hormone-releasing hormone, thyrotropin-releasing hormone, corticotropin releasing factor, and dopamine did not affect somatostatin secretion. These experiments demonstrate that a neurosecretory peptide encoded by a foreign gene can enter the regulated secretory pathway of pituitary cells from transgenic mice. 相似文献

Chromogranin A is a member of the granin family of acidic secretory glycoproteins that is found in secretory granules of many endocrine cells including neuroendocrine tumour cells. This hormone serves as a model system for autonomous hormone secretion by the so called functional neuroendocrine tumours of the gastrointestinal tract. The precise regulation of chromogranin secretion at the level of the Golgi apparatus is a subject of intense research. The protein kinase D (PKD) family of serine threonine kinases has so far been implicated in the regulation of constitutive secretion in epithelial cells. Here we examined whether PKD2 expression and activity could also play a role in the release of secretory granules from the trans Golgi network (TGN) in neuroendocrine tumour cells and hence be a target to block autonomous secretion by these tumours. Our data show that expression and catalytic activity of PKD2 are required for the release of chromogranin A containing secretory vesicles. Inhibition of PKD2 activity or siRNA knockdown of PKD2 resulted in a marked perinuclear retention of chromogranin A immunofluorescence in the trans Golgi network and led to a marked reduction in basal as well as phorbol ester stimulated secretion of chromogranin A into the supernatant of cells. Thus, PKD2 controls the release of secretory granules in neuroendocrine tumour cells at the level of the Golgi apparatus and could hence serve as a novel target to block hormone secretion in functional neuroendocrine tumours. 相似文献

The secretory granules in the androgenic gland of the terrestrial isopod Armadillidium vulgare, which have been indistinct for long time because of vulnerable structures, were revealed by using the rapid-freezing and freeze-substitution method. The fine structure of the androgenic gland is conspicuous by the distribution of numerous particular organelles in the cytoplasm consisting of the endoplasmic reticulum and the Golgi complex, and by having a number of highly organized structures developed between the androgenic gland cells. The structures connect to the intercellular space, which is seen as intercellular canaliculi for exporting the androgenic gland hormone. The plasma membranes near the particular structure of the intercellular canaliculi in the androgenic gland are often specialized to form cellular junctions. The secretory granules including the electron-dense materials, which are supposed to be peptides of androgenic gland hormone, are distributed beside the particular structure of the intercellular canaliculi. Some of the granules are seen to fuse with the plasma membranes. This observation suggests that, in the Armadillidium vulgare, the secretory granules containing androgenic gland hormone are transferred to the extracellular space through the intercellular canaliculi particularly developed for exporting the peptide hormone. This is the first evidence to show the secretory mechanism of the androgenic gland hormone in the Isopoda. 相似文献

Summary The spontaneous dwarf rat is a novel experimental model animal on the study of pituitary dwarfism. The fine structure of the anterior pituitary cells was studied in the immature and mature dwarf rats. Pituitary glands were removed from 5-, 10-, 20-day-old immature dwarfs, adult (45 days-16 weeks) dwarfs and normal 3-month-old rats and processed for electron-microscopic observation. In the control animals, growth hormone cells were readily identified by their ultrastructural characteristics, such as the presence of numerous electron-dense secretory granules, 300–350 nm in diameter, well developed rough endoplasmic reticulum and a prominent Golgi complex. In contrast, growth hormone cells were not found in the anterior pituitary gland of the spontaneous dwarf rat at any age examined. Other pituitary cell types, i.e., luteinizing hormone/ follicle stimulating hormone, thyroid stimulating hormone, adrenocorticotropic hormone and prolactin cells, appeared similar in their fine structure to those found in the control rats. In the pituitary gland of dwarf rats, a number of polygonal cells were observed either with no or relatively few secretory granules. The rough endoplasmic reticulum was arranged in parallel cisternae and the Golgi complex was generally prominent in these cells. In addition, many were found to have abundant lysosomes. A few minute secretory granules were occasionally observed; however, the immunogold technique failed to localize growth hormone or prolactin in the granules. The nature of these cells remained obscure in this study. Since their incidence and fine structural features, other than the secretory granules, were quite similar to those of the growth hormone cells in normal rats, we postulate that these cells are dysfunctional growth hormone cells. These results suggest that the cause of the growth impairment in the spontaneous dwarf rat is due to a defect in the functional growth hormone cells in the pituitary gland, and since other pituitary cell types appeared normal, the disorder seems to be analogous to the isolated growth hormone deficiency in the human. 相似文献

The secretory glycoproteins synthesized by hepatoma tissue culture (HTC) cells were resolved by two-dimensional polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis of media from cells that were grown in the presence of [(3)H]fucose. These cells synthesize and secrete a complex set of fucose-containing glycoproteins. These secretory glycoproteins are distinct from those glycoproteins present in the plasma membrane of HTC cells. Incubation of HTC cells with dexamethasone has a pronounced effect on the quality and quantity (denoted here as the program) of secretory protein synthesis, as assayed by the short-term incorporation of labeled mannose, fucose, or methionine. The synthesis of two mannose- and fucose- containing glycoprotein series, one of 50,000 mol wt and a more heterogeneous series with mol wt of 35,000-50,000, is increased to a high level by the hormone; conversely, the synthesis of other secretory proteins, particularly one with mol wt of 70,000, is decreased or stopped completely. The synthesis of some major secretory proteins is not affected by the hormone. Dexamethasone has less of an effect on the composition of either total cell membrane glycoprotein or plasma membrane glycoprotein. But there is a decrease in the synthesis of a major membrane glycoprotein series with mol wt of 140,000. These effects of dexamethasone are relatively specific to HTC cells. Neither Reuber H-35 cells nor primary cultures of rat hepatocytes show the same response to the steroid. Two variant HTC cell lines, which were selected for their resistance to dexamethasone inhibition of extracellular plasminogen activator activity, respond only partially to the steroid-induced regulation of the secretory and membrane glycoproteins. 相似文献

The electrical and secretory activities of mouse pituitary tumor cells (AtT-20/D-16v), which contain and release the ACTH/beta-endorphin family of peptides, were studied by means of intracellular recordings and radioimmunoassays. Injection of depolarizing current pulses evoked action potentials in all cells and the majority (82%) displayed spontaneous action potential activity. Action potentials were found to be calcium-dependent. Barium increased membrane resistance, action potential amplitude and duration, and release of ACTH and beta- endorphin immunoactivity. Isoproterenol increased both action potential frequency and hormone secretion. Raising the external calcium concentration increased the frequency and amplitude of the action potentials and stimulated secretion of ACTH and beta-endorphin immunoactivity. Thus, stimulation of secretory activity in AtT-20 cells was closely correlated with increased electrical activity. However, a complete blockade of action potential activity had no effect on basal hormone secretion in these cells. These results suggest that the mechanisms underlying stimulated hormone secretion are different from those responsible for basal secretory activity. It is proposed that the increased influx of calcium due to the increased action potential frequency initiates the stimulated release of hormone from these cells. 相似文献

Summary Previous physiological results have indicated the existence of two releasable pools of gonadotropins in amphibian pituitaries: an acute releasable pool that appears independent of protein synthesis, and a storage pool involved in chronic release that depends on protein synthesis. To elucidate the ultrastructural localization of these pools and the morphological changes induced in gonadotrope cells after treatment with gonadotropin-releasing hormone, we carried out a morphometric study of immuno-identified gonadotrope cells using an in vitro superfusion system. Treatment with gonadotropin-releasing hormone induced a degranulation of small (110–255 nm) and medium (236–360 nm) secretory granules as well as hypertrophy of the endoplasmic reticulum and Golgi complex. Simultaneous incubation with gonadotropin-releasing hormone and cycloheximide inhibited the release of secretory granules although the endoplasmic reticulum and Golgi complex were hypertrophied. These morphological results strongly suggest: (1) that gonadotropin-releasing hormone induces degranulation and hypertrophy of the biosynthetic machinery in gonadotrope cells; and (2) that the activation of the endoplasmic reticulum and Golgi complex by stimulation with gonadotropin-releasing hormone is independent of protein synthesis, while the release of secretory granules is protein synthesis-dependent. In addition, the second or storage pool of gonadotropin is associated mainly with the small and medium secretory granules. 相似文献

Rat prolactin in the dense cores of secretory granules of the pituitary gland is a Lubrol-insoluble aggregate. In GH(4)C(1) cells, newly synthesized rat prolactin and growth hormone were soluble, but after 30 min about 40% converted to a Lubrol-insoluble form. Transport from the endoplasmic reticulum is necessary for conversion to Lubrol insolubility, since incubating cells with brefeldin A or at 15 degrees C reduced formation of insoluble rat (35)S-prolactin. Formation of Lubrol-insoluble aggregates has protein and cell specificity; newly synthesized human growth hormone expressed in AtT20 cells underwent a 40% conversion to Lubrol insolubility with time, but albumin did not, and human growth hormone expressed in COS cells underwent less than 10% conversion to Lubrol insolubility. del32-46 growth hormone, a naturally occurring form of growth hormone, and P89L growth hormone underwent conversion, although they were secreted more slowly, indicating that there is some tolerance in structural requirements for aggregation. An intracellular compartment with an acidic pH is not necessary for conversion to Lubrol insolubility, because incubation with chloroquine or bafilomycin slowed, but did not prevent, the conversion. GH(4)C(1) cells treated with estradiol, insulin, and epidermal growth factor accumulate more secretory granules and store more prolactin, but not more growth hormone, than untreated cells; Lubrol-insoluble aggregates of prolactin and growth hormone formed to the same extent in hormone-treated or untreated GH(4)C(1) cells, but prolactin was retained longer in hormone-treated cells. These findings indicate that aggregation alone is not sufficient to cause retention of secretory granule proteins, and there is an additional selective process. 相似文献

Summary The populations of cells which produce immunoreactive growth hormone (GH) and thyroid stimulating hormone (TSH) in the rat
pituitary gland do not occur in fixed percentages but vary greatly under different physiological and experimental conditions.
These variations can be directly correlated to the levels of stimulation and/or inhibition of the specific secretory activity.
In both types of cell, sustained stimulation with trophic hormones or blockage of the feedback mechanisms induces remarkable
growth in the specific cell population. Conversely, the interruption or inhibition of the stimulus thwarted the hormonal secretion
and caused a massive degeneration of redundant cells. The stimulation of both GH and TSH cells is accompanied by an enhanced
secretory activity as judged by their higher concentrations in serum and hypertrophy of the cytoplasmic organelles involved
in synthesis and intracellular processing of the hormones. By contrast, interruption of the stimulus is followed by a variable
degree of disruption of the cytoplasmic organization, including a sizable degeneration of cells. In stimulated rats, the concentrations
of both GH and TSH decreased significantly in pituitary tissue due to mobilization of the hormonal stores contained in secretory
granules. On the other hand, the withdrawal of stimuli blocked the hormonal release; this is reflected by the accumulation
of both hormones and secretory granules in pituitary tissue. The strict correlation between the size of the GH and TSH populations
with stimulation and inhibition of hormonal secretory activity reported in this investigation further supports the critical
role played by the cell renewal process in endocrine secretion. 相似文献

Secretory protein targeting in a pituitary cell line: differential transport of foreign secretory proteins to distinct secretory pathways 总被引:20,自引:14,他引:6

The mouse pituitary cell line, AtT-20, packages the adrenocorticotropic hormone (ACTH) in secretory vesicles and releases it when the cell is stimulated with secretagogues. These cells have the capacity, after transfection with the appropriate DNA, to package heterologous peptide hormones into the regulated secretory vesicles (Moore, H. P. H., M. D. Walker, F. Lee, and R. B. Kelly, 1983, Cell, 35:531-538). To test if other secreted proteins prefer a different route to the surface, we have transfected AtT-20 cells with DNAs coding for a fragment of a membrane protein, the vesicular stomatitis virus G protein from which the membrane spanning domain has been deleted (Rose, J. K., and J. E. Bergmann, 1982, Cell, 17:813-819). We found that the secreted vesicular stomatitis virus G proteins were not transported to the regulated secretory vesicles. Instead they preferentially exited the cell by the constitutive pathway previously found in these cells (Gumbiner, B., and R. B. Kelly, 1982, Cell, 28:51-59). In contrast, human growth hormone transfected into the cells by the same procedure was transported to the regulated pathway with a similar efficiency as the endogenous hormone ACTH. Transport of the secreted G protein to the regulated pathway, if it occurs at all, is at least 30-fold less efficient than peptide hormones. We conclude that the transport machinery in AtT-20 cells must selectively recognize different secreted proteins and sort them into distinct secretory pathways. 相似文献

Subcellular localization of gonadotrophic hormones LH and FSH in frog adenohypophysis using double-staining immunocytochemistry 总被引:1,自引:0,他引:1
We applied double post-embedding immunocytochemical methods using specific antibodies against bullfrog (Rana catesbeiana) luteinizing hormone (LH) and follicle-stimulating hormone (FSH) with immunogold staining (5- and 20-nm particles) to determine the subcellular localization of both gonadotropins and to observe their immunostaining patterns in anterior pituitary of the frog Rana pipiens. Results showed that individual gonadotrophs may store either one or both gonadotropins in a given secretory granule and in large globules (lysosomes?). Most gonadotrophs (50-88%) contain both hormones; 12-50% contain only FSH, and only a few (0-7%) contain LH alone. Individual secretory granules, even in cells that contain both hormones, may contain only one or both gonadotropin molecules. Evaluation of the percentage of monohormonal and multihormonal secretory granules revealed that multihormonal secretory granules were the most numerous and that LH monohormonal secretory granules were the least numerous. These results indicate that cellular storage of gonadotropin in amphibian pituitary is similar to that described for mammals, where a single cell type containing both gonadotropins predominates. Variability in hormone content both of cells and of granules in all individuals is consistent with the hypothesis that frog pituitary possesses a single multipotential gonadotroph. 相似文献

Neuropeptide Y (NPY) functions as a peptide neurotransmitter and as a neuroendocrine hormone. The active NPY peptide is generated in secretory vesicles by proteolytic processing of proNPY. Novel findings from this study show that cathepsin L participates as a key proteolytic enzyme for NPY production in secretory vesicles. Notably, NPY levels in cathepsin L knockout (KO) mice were substantially reduced in brain and adrenal medulla by 80% and 90%, respectively. Participation of cathepsin L in producing NPY predicts their colocalization in secretory vesicles, a primary site of NPY production. Indeed, cathepsin L was colocalized with NPY in brain cortical neurons and in chromaffin cells of adrenal medulla, demonstrated by immunofluorescence confocal microscopy. Immunoelectron microscopy confirmed the localization of cathepsin L with NPY in regulated secretory vesicles of chromaffin cells. Functional studies showed that coexpression of proNPY with cathepsin L in neuroendocrine PC12 cells resulted in increased production of NPY. Furthermore , in vitro processing indicated cathepsin L processing of proNPY at paired basic residues. These findings demonstrate a role for cathepsin L in the production of NPY from its proNPY precursor. These studies illustrate the novel biological role of cathepsin L in the production of NPY, a peptide neurotransmitter, and neuroendocrine hormone. 相似文献

Temperature dependence of prolactin endocytosis and casein exocytosis in epithelial mammary cells 总被引:1,自引:0,他引:1
As previously reported in epithelial mammary cells of lactating rabbit, prolactin exerts a stimulatory effect on casein secretion. After binding to a membrane receptor, the complex hormone-receptor is internalized in mammary cells. Peptide hormone action involves the generation of second messengers. These second messengers can be emitted as soon as hormone is linked to the membrane receptor. However, it is not excluded that endocytosis and transfer of prolactin inside the cell take part in the emission of second messenger and related secretory response. In order to precise intracellular transport pathways in the lactating mammary cell, we have examined the effects of reduced temperature on the one hand on prolactin endocytosis, on the other hand on casein secretion and on the stimulating effect of prolactin on casein secretion. Endocytosed prolactin was cytochemically localized mainly on the plasma membrane at 4 degrees C. At 25 degrees C, the hormone accumulated, during 60 min, in endosomes and multivesicular bodies. At 37 degrees C, prolactin was detectable after 15 and 30 min inside the cells and disappeared after 60 min. Transport and exocytosis of secretory proteins were only partly inhibited at 25 degrees C as attested by autoradiography localization and biochemical assays of newly synthesized caseins. However, at 25 degrees C, prolactin was no more able to stimulate casein exocytosis. These results show that intracellular transport of prolactin and secretagogue effect of the hormone does not proceed at 25 degrees C. However, secretory mechanisms of the cell are always able to be stimulated by exogenous arachidonic acid at this temperature. Low temperature appears as a good means to study intracellular transport in the mammary cell. 相似文献
