Human skin fibroblast monolayer cultures from two normal men, three Type I diabetic men, and one Type I diabetic woman were incubated with [3H]glucosamine in the presence of diminished concentrations of sulfate. Although total synthesis of [3H]chondroitin/dermatan glycosaminoglycans varied somewhat between cell lines, glycosaminoglycan production was not affected within any line when sulfate levels were decreased from 0.3 mM to 0.06 mM to 0.01 mM to 0 added sulfate. Lowering of sulfate concentrations resulted in diminished sulfation of chondroitin/dermatan in a progressive manner, so that overall sulfation dropped to as low as 19% for one of the lines. Sulfation of chondroitin to form chondroitin 4-sulfate and chondroitin 6-sulfate was progressively and equally affected by decreasing the sulfate concentration in the culture medium. However, sulfation to form dermatan sulfate was preserved to a greater degree, so that the relative proportion of dermatan sulfate to chondroitin sulfate increased. Essentially all the nonsulfated residues were susceptible to chondroitin AC lyase, indicating that little epimerization of glucuronic acid residues to iduronic acid had occurred in the absence of sulfation. These results confirm the previously described dependency of glucuronic/iduronic epimerization on sulfation, and indicate that sulfation of the iduronic acid-containing disaccharide residues of dermatan can take place with sulfate concentrations lower than those needed for 6-sulfation and 4-sulfation of the glucuronic acid-containing disaccharide residues of chondroitin. There were considerable differences among the six fibroblast lines in susceptibility to low sulfate medium and in the proportion of chondroitin 6-sulfate, chondroitin 4-sulfate, and dermatan sulfate. However, there was no pattern of differences between normals and diabetics.  相似文献

Chlorate: a reversible inhibitor of proteoglycan sulfation   总被引:8,自引:0,他引:8  
Bovine aorta endothelial cells were cultured in medium containing [3H]glucosamine, [35S]sulfate, and various concentrations of chlorate. Cell growth was not affected by 10 mM chlorate, while 30 mM chlorate had a slight inhibitory effect. Chlorate concentrations greater than 10 mM resulted in significant undersulfation of chondroitin. With 30 mM chlorate, sulfation of chondroitin was reduced to 10% and heparan to 35% of controls, but [3H]glucosamine incorporation on a per cell basis did not appear to be inhibited. Removal of chlorate from the culture medium of cells resulted in the rapid resumption of sulfation.  相似文献

Proteoglycan (PG) metabolism by aortic smooth muscle cell cultures derived from atherosclerosis-susceptible White Carneau (WC) and -resistant Show Racer (SR) pigeons was compared using [35S]sodium sulfate and [3H]serine or [3H]glucosamine as labeling precursors. Chondroitin sulfate (CS) PG and dermatan sulfate (DS) PG were the major PG secreted into the medium by both cell types. Total PG production, whether measured by incorporation of radiolabel into either core protein or glycosaminoglycan chains, was consistently lower in WC compared to SR cultures at several time points. This difference was due in part to lower (30-37%) PG synthesis in WC cells, but degradation of newly synthesized PG was an important contributor. A pulse-chase study indicated that of the total radiolabeled PG present at time O, only 47% was present at 24 h in WC cultures compared to 88% in SR cultures. The large CS-PG appeared to be the primary target for degradation in WC cells, and this selective processing resulted in a higher DS-PG:CS-PG ratio in these cultures. Structural studies indicated similar core protein and glycosaminoglycan chain sizes within a PG type for both cell types. PG monomer composition differed, however, by a higher sulfation of WC CS-PG compared to SR CS-PG and by a disaccharide sulfation position favoring 6-sulfation in WC PG and 4-sulfation in SR PG.  相似文献

Bovine aortic endothelial cells were cultured in medium containing [3H]glucosamine and concentrations of [35S]sulfate ranging from 0.01 to 0.31 mM. While the amount of [3H]hexosamine incorporated into chondroitin sulfate and heparan sulfate was constant, decreasing concentrations of sulfate resulted in lower [35S]sulfate incorporation. Sulfate concentrations greater than 0.11 mM were required for maximal [35S]sulfate incorporation. Chondroitin sulfate was particularly affected so that the sulfate to hexosamine ratio in [3H]chondroitin [35S]sulfate dropped considerably more than the sulfate to hexosamine ratio in [3H] heparan [35S]sulfate. Sulfate concentration had no effect on the ratio of chondroitin 4-sulfate to chondroitin 6-sulfate. The ratios of sulfate to hexosamine in cell-associated glycosaminoglycans were essentially identical with the ratios in media glycosaminoglycans at all sulfate concentrations. DEAE-cellulose chromatography confirmed that sulfation of chondroitin sulfate was particularly sensitive to low sulfate concentrations. While cells incubated in medium containing 0.31 mM sulfate produced chondroitin sulfate which eluted later than heparan sulfate, cells incubated in medium containing less than 0.04 mM sulfate produced chondroitin sulfate which eluted before heparan sulfate and near hyaluronic acid, indicating that many chains were essentially unsulfated. At intermediate concentrations of sulfate, chondroitin sulfate was found in very broad elution patterns suggesting that most did not fit an "all or nothing" mechanism. Heparan sulfate produced at low concentrations of sulfate eluted with narrower elution patterns than chondroitin sulfate, and there was no indication of any "all or nothing" sulfation.  相似文献

Mouse mastocytoma cells were cultured with brefeldin A in medium containing [35S]sulfate and [3H]glucosamine in order to determine the effects of this fungal metabolite on the formation of chondroitin 4-sulfate by these cells. There was a marked reduction in the incorporation of [35S]sulfate into the glycosaminoglycan which was approximately equal to the reduction in the incorporation of [3H]hexosamine into the same molecule. The chondroitin 4-sulfate chain size was greatly diminished, while the number of chains appeared to remain relatively constant, indicating that the brefeldin A partially disrupted the polymerizing system, but had little effect upon movement of the nascent proteochondroitin to the site for chondroitin polymerization and sulfation.  相似文献

The influence of monensin on biosynthesis, processing and secretion of proteodermatan sulfate from human skin fibroblasts was studied with the aid of a specific immunological procedure. Double-labeling experiments with [3H]leucine and [35S]sulfate indicated that monensin caused a dose-dependent parallel decrease of sulfate incorporation into total and of secretion of 3H-labeled proteodermatan sulfate. Compared with the untreated control, a greater proportion of incorporated [35S]sulfate than of incorporated [3H]leucine became secreted. Other monensin effects were a moderate intracellular accumulation of glycosaminoglycan-free core protein, a reduced chain length and a greatly reduced epimerization of D-glucuronic to L-iduronic acid residues. In contrast to the formation of N-acetylgalactosamine 4-sulfate residues 6-sulfation was not affected. Conversion of high-mannose-type oligosaccharides to complex-type N-glycans which normally occurred concomitantly with glycosaminoglycan biosynthesis was inhibited. Withdrawal of monensin made possible an additional sulfation of intracellularly accumulated proteodermatan sulfate. The newly formed sulfate esters did not cluster at the non-reducing ends of the glycosaminoglycan chains. Cells preexposed to monensin and labeled with [3H]glucosamine either in the absence or continuous presence of the drug incorporated similar amounts of 3H radioactivity into proteodermatan sulfate. The results suggest that epimerization of D-glucuronic acid residues and 4-sulfation occur predominantly in the trans cisternae of the Golgi apparatus whereas chain polymerisation and 6-sulfation take place predominantly in the cis Golgi complex.  相似文献

Selenate, a sulfation inhibitor, blocks the synthesis of heparan sulfate and chondroitin sulfate by cultured endothelial cells. In contrast, selenate does not affect the production of hyaluronic acid, a nonsulfated glycosaminoglycan. No differences in molecular weight, [3H]glucosamine/[35S]sulfuric acid ratios, or disaccharide composition were observed when the heparan sulfate synthesized by selenate-treated cells was compared with that of control cells. The absence of undersulfated chains in preparations from cultures exposed to selenate supports the concept that, in the intact cell, the polymerization of heparan sulfate might be dependent on the sulfation of the saccharide units added to the growing glycosaminoglycan chain.  相似文献

1. Electron microscope autoradiography indicated that L-[3H]fucose and D-[3H]glucosamine were both incorporated into cell-surface-associated glycoconjugates in the epidermis of cultured pig skin slices. 2. Acid hydrolysis and paper chromatography of skin homogenates confirmed that there was little metabolic conversion of the labeled precursors to other sugars. 3. Epidermis was separated from dermis using CaCl2, and was extracted with 8 M-urea/5% (w/v) sodium dodecyl sulphate and was then analysed by gel electrophoresis. The major component labelled with D-[3H]glucosamine had an apparent molecular weight in excess of 200 000. This material was not labelled with L-[3H]fucose. Lower molecular-weight components were labelled to a similar extent with both L-[3H]fucose and D-[3H]glucosamine. 4. The high molecular-weight material labelled with D-[3H]glucosamine was released into the medium when the epidermal cells were dispersed with trypsin, indicating that it was either surface-associated or was extracellular. It was also labelled with D-[14C]glucuronic acid, 35SO4(2-) and to a small extent with 14C-labelled amino acids indicating that it contained glycosaminoglycans derived from epidermal proteoglycans. This was confirmed by the fact that it was degraded by testicular hyaluronoglucosidase. It was not present in isolated membranes but was recovered in the soluble fraction from epidermal homogenates. It is therefore only very loosely bound at the cell surface or is present in the extracellular spaces. 5. Membrane-bound [3H]glycoproteins were identified after differential centrifugation of epidermal homogenates. The radioactivity profiles of membrane glycoproteins were similar whether L-[3H]fucose or D-[3H]glucosamine were used and both consisted of a major heterogeneous peak in the apparent mol.wt. range 70 000--150 000. [3H]Glycoproteins in this molecular-weight range were also major components of a plasma-membrane-enriched fraction. These glycoproteins were probably bound to the membrane by hydrophobic interactions, since they were only solubilized by treatment with detergent or organic solvent. They contained terminal sialic acid residues, since they were degraded by neuraminidase.  相似文献

Confluent monolayer cultures of rabbit corneal endothelial and stromal cells were incubated independently with [35S]sulphate and [3H]glucosamine for 3 days. AFter incubation, labelled glycosaminoglycans were isolated from the growth medium and from a cellular fraction. These glycosaminoglycans were further characterized by DEAE-cellulose column chromatography and by sequential treatment with various glycosamino-glycan-degrading enzymes. Both endothelial and stromal cultures synthesized hyaluronic acid as the principal product. The cell fraction from the stromal cultures, however, had significantly less hyaluronic acid than that from the endothelial cultures. In addition, both types of cells synthesized a variety of sulphated glycosaminoglycans. The relative amounts of each sulphated glycosaminoglycan in the two cell lines were similar, with chondroitin 4-sulphate, chondroitin 6-sulphate and dermatan sulphate as the major components. Heparan sulphate was present in smaller amounts. Keratan sulphate was also identified, but only in very small amounts (1-3%). The presence of dermatan sulphate and the high content of hyaluronic acid are similar to the pattern of glycosaminoglycans seen in regenerating or developing tissues, including cornea.  相似文献

Biosynthesis of glycosaminoglycans by cultured mastocytoma cells   总被引:3,自引:1,他引:2       下载免费PDF全文
Biosynthesis of glycosaminoglycans by several lines of cultured neoplastic mouse mast cells was studied by incorporation of [35S]sulphate (and in some cases [6-3H]glucosamine) into macromolecular materials found in both the cells and their growth media. Such intracellular and extracellular radioactively labelled materials (shown to be glycosaminoglycans by susceptibility to digestion with heparinase) were further characterized by ion-exchange chromatography and by digestion with testicular hyaluronidase and chondroitinase. All but one cell line produced chondroitin sulphate as the major sulphated glycosaminoglycan; the remainder of the glycosaminoglycan was heparin-like material. No [3H]hyaluronic acid was synthesized. Cells of a newly derived line, termed P815S, synthesized more glycosaminoglycan than the other lines. This glycosaminoglycan, found in both cells and growth medium, was almost entirely chondroitin 4-sulphate. No chondroitin 6-sulphate was found. The chondroitin 4-sulphate from the cells was shown by gel filtration to be smaller than the chondroitin 4-sulphate in the media of these cultures. This discovery of relatively high proportions of chondroitin 4-sulphate in these mastocytoma-derived cells is noteworthy, since mast cells have generally been considered to produce heparin as their major glycosaminoglycan.  相似文献

Proteoglycans deposited in the basal lamina of [14C] glucosamine-labeled normal and [3H]glucosamine-labeled transformed mouse mammary epithelial cells grown on type I-collagen gels, were extracted in 4 M guanidinium chloride and cofractionated over Sepharose CL 4B. The heparan sulfate chains carried by these proteoglycans were isolated by treatment with alkaline borohydride, protease K, chondroitinase ABC, and cetylpyridinium chloride precipitation. Heparan sulfate isolated from transformed cell cultures consistently eluted from DEAE-cellulose at lower salt concentrations and was of smaller apparent Mr when chromatographed over Sepharose CL 6B, than heparan sulfate of normal cell cultures. Experiments using doubly labeled cultures ([3H]glucosamine and [35S]sulfate) demonstrated an approximately 30% reduction in the sulfate/hexosamine ratio in heparan sulfate derived from transformed cultures. Both N- and O-sulfate were decreased. The decreased Mr and decreased sulfation of heparan sulfate upon transformation appear sufficient to explain the altered heparan sulfate/chondroitin sulfate ratios previously observed in these cells. These changes may have implications for the molecular interactions in which these proteoglycans are normally engaged during basal lamina assembly, and cause the poor basal lamina formation displayed by these transformed cells.  相似文献

The amount of glycosaminoglycan (GAG) in dry costal cartilage tissue of rats decreased with aging, while the GAG content in mg DNA (unit cartilage cell) remained the same with aging. These results can be explained by the finding that the total number of cartilage cells decreased with aging. Electrophoretic analysis showed that chondroitin 4-sulfate was the major GAG in rat costal cartilage of various ages. Rat costal cartilage of different ages was incubated with radioactive precursors, and newly synthesized GAG was prepared and the radioactivity analyzed to determine the biosynthetic activity. As to changes in the radioactivity uptake with aging per mg dry cartilage tissue, aging influenced [35S]sulfate incorporation into GAG more significantly than [3H]glucosamine incorporation into GAG. There was a significant decrease in the specific radioactivity of [35S]sulfate per mg DNA (unit cartilage cell), whereas the specific radioactivity of [3H]glucosamine per mg DNA did not change significantly with aging. Both the total sulfotransferase activity and the specific activity per mg DNA decreased significantly with aging. Analysis of disaccharide units formed after chondroitinase ABC digestion of labeled GAG isolated from young and old cartilage showed that the percentage of incorporation of [3H]glucosamine into deltaDi-OS increased significantly with aging. These results suggested that the appearance of nonsulfated positions in the structure of the chondroitin sulfate chain increased with aging. On the basis of gel chromatography on Bio-Gel A-1.5 m no significant difference in the approximate molecular size of chondroitin sulfate was observed between the young and old GAG samples. The present study indicated that the sulfation of chondroitin sulfate chains from rat costal cartilage decreased with the process of aging.  相似文献

The sulfation of glycosaminoglycans by ascorbic acid 2-[35S]sulfate was studied in costal cartilage and chondrocytes in vitro. Negligable (if any) sulfation of glycosaminoglycans was detected with immediately isolated ascorbic acid 2-[35S]sulfate. However, formation of [35S]glycosaminoglycans was readily detected with ascorbic acid 2-[35S]sulfate which had been stored at minus 20 degrees C for several days. The [35S]glycosaminoglycans did not result from the direct transfer of 35S from ascorbic acid 2-sulfate but rather from a decomposition product of ascorbic acid 2-[35S]sulfate. Evidence is presented to show that the sulfation pathway with the decomposition product involves exchange with inorganic sulfate, and strongly suggests that sulfation proceeds via 3'-phosphoadenosine 5'-phosphosulfate. The decomposition product appears similar to inorganic sulfate in several test systems. In view of these observations, it is suggested that previous conclusions implicating as acid 2-sulfate as a biological sulfate donor, based on the use of ascorbic acid 2-[35S]sulfate be re-evaluated.  相似文献

[3H,35S]Dermatan/chondroitin sulfate glycosaminoglycans produced during culture of fibroblasts in medium containing varying concentrations of sulfate were tested for their susceptibility to chondroitin ABC lyase and chondroitin AC lyase. Chondroitin ABC lyase completely degraded [3H]hexosamine-labeled and [35S] sulfate-labeled dermatan/chondroitin sulfate to disaccharides. Chondroitin AC lyase treatment of the labeled glycosaminoglycans produced different results. With this enzyme, dermatan/chondroitin sulfate formed at high concentrations of sulfate yielded small glycosaminoglycans and larger oligosaccharides but almost no disaccharide. This indicated that the dermatan/chondroitin sulfate co-polymer contained mostly iduronic acid with only an occasional glucuronic acid. As the medium sulfate concentration was progressively lowered, there was a concomitant increase in the susceptibility to degradation by chondroitin AC lyase. Thus, the labeled glycosaminoglycans formed at the lowest concentration of sulfate yielded small oligosaccharides including substantial amounts of disaccharide. The smaller chondroitin AC lyase-resistant [3H,35S]dermatan/chondroitin sulfate oligosaccharides were analyzed by gel filtration. Results indicated that, in general, the iduronic acid-containing disaccharide residues present in the undersulfated [3H,35S]glycosaminoglycan were sulfated, whereas the glucuronic acid-containing disaccharide residues were non-sulfated. This work confirms earlier reports that there is a relationship between epimerization and sulfation. Moreover, it demonstrates that medium sulfate concentration is critical in determining the proportions of dermatan to chondroitin (iduronic/glucuronic acid) produced by cultured cells.  相似文献

We investigated the effect of mechanical stimulation by an intermittent compressive force (ICF) on proteoglycan (PG) synthesis and PG structure in calcified and noncalcified cartilage of fetal mouse long bone rudiments. Uncalcified cartilaginous long bone rudiments were cultured for 5 days in the presence of [35S]sulfate and [3H]glucosamine under control conditions (atmospheric pressure) or under the influence of ICF. ICF was generated by intermittently compressing the gas phase above the culture medium (130 mbar, 0.3 Hz). During culture, the center of the rudiments started to calcify. ICF stimulated calcification such that, after 5 days, the diaphysis of calcified cartilage was about two times as long as in the control cultures. At the end of the experiment, the rudiments were divided in a central calcified diaphysis and two noncalcified epiphyses. Diaphysis and epiphyses were pooled separately. PGs were extracted with 4 M guanidinium chloride and isolated by cesium chloride density gradient centrifugation. PGs (predigested with proteinase K or chondroitinase ABC) were characterized for hydrodynamic size of aggregates, monomers, and chondroitin sulfate chains by gel permeation chromatography and for degree of sulfation by ion exchange chromatography on high pressure liquid chromatography columns. ICF increased the amount of incorporated sulfate per tissue volume unit in the noncalcified epiphyses, but decreased this parameter in the calcified diaphysis. However, in both calcified and noncalcified cartilage, ICF increased the degree of sulfation of the chondroitin sulfate chains. No effects were found on the hydrodynamic size of the PG aggregates or monomers, but in the epiphyses ICF increased the size of the chondroitin sulfate chains. No other changes of structural characteristics of the macromolecules were observed. This study demonstrates that ICF generally stimulated the incorporation of [35S]sulfate into chondroitin sulfate chains. We conclude from the lowered [35S]sulfate content in calcified cartilage that ICF reduced the number of chondroitin sulfate chains and probably PGs while accelerating matrix calcification. It seems likely that the two effects are linked, indicating that a reduction of the number of chondroitin sulfate chains is part of the complicated process of cartilage calcification.  相似文献

Radiolabelled chondroitin 4-sulphate was isolated after incubation of rat rib cartilage with N-acetyl-D-[6-3H]galactosamine. After proteolytic digestion of the tissue with either papain or trypsin the released [3H]chondroitin 4-sulphate was added to an isolated perfused rat liver system. Analysis of perfusate after several hours perfusion showed that radiolabelled amino sugars were secreted by the liver in a low-molecular-weight form and as components of glycoproteins.  相似文献

The CNS of the cockroach Periplaneta americana contains saturable, specific binding sites for [3H]GABA, [3H]flunitrazepam and [35S]TBPS. The [3H]GABA binding site exhibits a pharmacological profile distinct from that reported for mammalian GABAA and GABAB receptors. The most potent inhibitors of [3H]GABA binding were GABA and muscimol, whereas isoguvacine, thiomuscimol and 3-aminopropane sulphonic acid were less effective. Bicuculline methiodide and baclofen were ineffective. Binding of [35S]TBPS was partially inhibited by 1.0 × 10−6 M GABA, whilst binding of [3H]flunitrazepam was enhanced by 1.0 × 10−7 M GABA. The pharmacological profile of the [3H]flunitrazepam binding site showed some similarities with the peripheral benzodiazepine binding sites of vertebrates, with Ro-5-4864 being a far more effective inhibitor of binding than clonazepam. Thus a class of GABA receptors with pharmacological properties distinct from mammalian GABA receptor subtypes is present in insect CNS.  相似文献

Populations of enriched glial precursor cells and astrocytes isolated from primary cultures of newborn rat brain were used to study the synthesis of sulfated glycoproteins. Both cell types incorporated [3H]glucosamine and [35S]sulfate into carbohydrate side chains of proteoglycans and glycoproteins. The rate of incorporation of [3H]glucosamine into the oligosaccharides and the pattern of distribution of the label into high mannose and complex glycopeptides recovered from the glycoproteins appeared to be similar for the two glial cell types. However, clear differences were noted in the rate of oligosaccharide sulfation activities. Thus the cultures of precursor glia were about four times more active than cultures enriched in astroglia in their ability to incorporate [35S]sulfate into glycoproteins.  相似文献

The effect of vanadate on proteoglycan synthesis by cultured rabbit costal chondrocytes was examined. Rabbit chondrocytes were seeded at low densities and grown to confluency in medium supplemented with 10% fetal bovine serum, and then the serum concentration was reduced to 0.3%. At the low serum concentration, chondrocytes adopted a fibroblastic morphology. Addition of 4 microM vanadate to the culture medium induced a morphologic differentiation of the fibroblastic cells to spherical chondrocytes, and increased by two- to threefold incorporation of [35S]sulfate and [3H]glucosamine into large, chondroitin sulfate proteoglycans. The stimulation of incorporation of labeled precursors reflected real increases in proteoglycan synthesis, in that chemical analyses showed increases in the accumulation of macromolecules containing hexuronic acid and hexosamine in vanadate-maintained cultures. However, vanadate had only a marginal effect on [35S]sulfate incorporation into small proteoglycans and [3H]glucosamine incorporation into hyaluronic acid and chondroitinase AC-resistant material. These results provide evidence that vanadate selectively stimulates the synthesis of proteoglycans characteristically found in cartilage by rabbit costal chondrocyte cultures.  相似文献

The spent media of HepG2 human hepatoma cells and 3Y1 rat embryo fibroblasts labeled with [35S]sulfate, upon ultrafiltration, were analyzed by a two-dimensional thin-layer separation procedure. Autoradiographs of the cellulose thin-layer plate revealed the presence of tyramine-O-[35S]sulfate in addition to tyrosine-O-[35S]sulfate in spent medium from human hepatoma cells. In contrast, only tyrosine-O-[35S]sulfate was observed in spent medium of 3Y1 rat fibroblasts. Using adenosine, 3'-phosphate, 5'-phospho[35S]sulfate as the sulfate donor, sulfotransferase(s) present in HepG2 cell homogenate catalyzed the sulfation of tyramine to tyramine-O-[35S]sulfate, but not the sulfation of tyrosine to tyrosine-O-[35S]sulfate. Endogenous aromatic amino acid decarboxylase present in HepG2 homogenate was shown to catalyze the decarboxylation of [3H]tyrosine to form [3H]tyramine while attempts to use it for the decarboxylation of tyrosine-O-sulfate to form tyramine-O-sulfate were unsuccessful. These results suggest that tyramine-O-sulfate may be derived from the de novo sulfation of tyramine, instead of the decarboxylation of tyrosine-O-sulfate.  相似文献
