The functions of a chemokine CXC chemokine ligand (CXCL) 12/stromal cell-derived factor-1/pre-B cell growth stimulating factor and its physiologic receptor CXCR4 in T cell development are controversial. In this study, we have genetically further characterized their roles in fetal and adult T cell development using mutant and chimeric mice. In CXCL12(-/-) or CXCR4(-/-) embryos on a C57BL/6 background, accumulation of T cell progenitors in the outer mesenchymal layer of the thymus anlage during initial colonization of the fetal thymus was comparable with that seen in wild-type embryos. However, the expansion of CD3(-)CD4(-)CD8(-) triple-negative T cell precursors at the CD44(-)CD25(+) and CD44(-)CD25(-) stages, and CD4(+)CD8(+) double-positive thymocytes was affected during embryogenesis in these mutants. In radiation chimeras competitively repopulated with CXCR4(-/-) fetal liver cells, the reduction in donor-derived thymocytes compared with wild-type chimeras was much more severe than the reduction in donor-derived myeloid lineage cells in bone marrow. Triple negative CD44(+)CD25(+) T cell precursors exhibited survival response to CXCL12 in the presence of stem cell factor as well as migratory response to CXCL12. Thus, it may be that CXCL12 and CXCR4 are involved in the expansion of T cell precursors in both fetal and adult thymus in vivo. Finally, enforced expression of bcl-2 did not rescue impaired T cell development in CXCR4(-/-) embryos or impaired reconstitution of CXCR4(-/-) thymocytes in competitively repopulated mice, suggesting that defects in T cell development caused by CXCR4 mutation are not caused by reduced expression of bcl-2. 相似文献

Background
Gene therapy and viral therapy are used for cancer therapy for many years, but the results are less than satisfactory. Our aim was to construct a new recombinant adenovirus which is more efficient to kill hepatocarcinoma cells but more safe to normal cells.Methods
By using the Cancer Targeting Gene-Viro-Therapy strategy, Apoptin, a promising cancer therapeutic gene was inserted into the double-regulated oncolytic adenovirus AD55 in which E1A gene was driven by alpha fetoprotein promoter along with a 55 kDa deletion in E1B gene to form AD55-Apoptin. The anti-tumor effects and safety were examined by western blotting, virus yield assay, real time polymerase chain reaction, 3-(4,5-dimethylthiazol-2-yl)-2, 5-diphenyltetrazolium bromide assay, Hoechst33342 staining, Fluorescence-activated cell sorting, xenograft tumor model, Immunohistochemical assay, liver function analysis and Terminal deoxynucleotidyl transferase mediated dUTP Nick End Labeling assay.Results
The recombinant virus AD55-Apoptin has more significant antitumor effect for hepatocelluar carcinoma cell lines (in vitro) than that of AD55 and even ONYX-015 but no or little impair on normal cell lines. Furthermore, it also shows an obvious in vivo antitumor effect on the Huh-7 liver carcinoma xenograft in nude mice with bigger beginning tumor volume till about 425 mm3 but has no any damage on the function of liver. The induction of apoptosis is involved in AD55-Apoptin induced antitumor effects.Conclusion
The AD55-Apoptin can be a potential anti-hepatoma agent with remarkable antitumor efficacy as well as higher safety in cancer targeting gene-viro-therapy system. 相似文献3.

Migration of hemopoietic stem and progenitor cells (HSPC) is required for homing to bone marrow following transplantation. Therefore, it is critical to understand signals underlying directional movement of HSPC. Stromal cell-derived factor-1 (SDF-1)/CXCL12 is a potent chemoattractant for HSPC. In this study, we demonstrate that the serine-threonine protein phosphatase (PP)2A plays an important role in regulation of optimal level and duration of Akt/protein kinase B activation (a molecule important for efficient chemotaxis), in response to SDF-1. Inhibition of PP2A, using various pharmacological inhibitors of PP2A including okadaic acid (OA) as well as using genetic approaches including dominant-negative PP2A-catalytic subunit (PP2A-C) or PP2A-C small interfering RNA, in primary CD34(+) cord blood (CB) cells led to reduced chemotaxis. This was associated with impairment in polarization and slower speed of movement in response to SDF-1. Concomitantly, SDF-1-induced Akt phosphorylation was robust and prolonged. Following SDF-1 stimulation, Akt and PP2A-C translocate to plasma membrane with enhanced association of PP2A-C with Akt observed at the plasma membrane. Inhibition of PI3K by low-dose LY294002 partially recovered chemotactic activity of cells pretreated with OA. In addition to chemotaxis, adhesion of CD34(+) cells to fibronectin was impaired by OA pretreatment. Our study demonstrates PP2A plays an important role in chemotaxis and adhesion of CD34(+) CB cells in response to SDF-1. CD34(+) CB cells pretreated with OA showed impaired ability to repopulate NOD-SCID mice in vivo, suggesting physiological relevance of these observations. 相似文献

We recently demonstrated that dopaminergic (DA) neurons of the rat substantia nigra constitutively expressed CXCR4, receptor for the chemokine stromal cell-derived factor-1 (SDF-1)/CXCL12 (SDF-1). To check the physiological relevance of such anatomical observation, in vitro and in vivo approaches were used. Patch clamp recording of DA neurons in rat substantia nigra slices revealed that SDF-1 (10 nmol/L) induced: (i) a depolarization and increased action potential frequency; and (ii) switched the firing pattern of depolarized DA neurons from a tonic to a burst firing mode. This suggests that SDF-1 could increase DA release from neurons. Consistent with this hypothesis, unilateral intranigral injection of SDF-1 (50 ng) in freely moving rat decreased DA content and increased extracellular concentrations of DA and metabolites in the ipsilateral dorsal striatum, as shown using microdialysis. Furthermore, intranigral SDF-1 injection induced a contralateral circling behavior. These effects of SDF-1 were mediated via CXCR4 as they were abrogated by administration of a selective CXCR4 antagonist. Altogether, these data demonstrate that SDF-1, via CXCR4, activates nigrostriatal DA transmission. They show that the central functions of chemokines are not restricted, as originally thought, to neuroinflammation, but extend to neuromodulatory actions on well-defined neuronal circuits in non-pathological conditions. 相似文献

CXC chemokine ligand 12 (stromal cell-derived factor 1 alpha) and CXCR4-dependent migration of CTLs toward melanoma cells in organotypic culture 总被引:4,自引:0,他引:4
Zhang T Somasundaram R Berencsi K Caputo L Rani P Guerry D Furth E Rollins BJ Putt M Gimotty P Swoboda R Herlyn M Herlyn D 《Journal of immunology (Baltimore, Md. : 1950)》2005,174(9):5856-5863
Studies in experimental animal models have demonstrated that chemokines produced by tumor cells attract chemokine receptor-positive T lymphocytes into the tumor area, which may lead to tumor growth inhibition in vitro and in vivo. However, in cancer patients, the role of chemokines in T lymphocyte trafficking toward human tumor cells is relatively unexplored. In the present study, the role of chemokines and their receptors in the migration of a melanoma patient's CTL toward autologous tumor cells has been studied in a novel organotypic melanoma culture, consisting of a bottom layer of collagen type I with embedded fibroblasts followed successively by a tumor cell layer, collagen/fibroblast separating layer, and, finally, a top layer of collagen with embedded fibroblasts and T cells. In this model, CTL migrated from the top layer through the separating layer toward tumor cells, resulting in tumor cell apoptosis. CTL migration was mediated by chemokine receptor CXCR4 expressed by the CTL and CXCL12 (stromal cell-derived factor 1alpha) secreted by tumor cells, as evidenced by blockage of CTL migration by Abs to CXCL12 or CXCR4, high concentrations of CXCL12 or small molecule CXCR4 antagonist. These studies, together with studies in mice indicating regression of CXCL12-transduced tumor cells, followed by regression of nontransduced challenge tumor cells, suggest that CXCL12 may be useful as an immunotherapeutic agent for cancer patients, when transduced into tumor cells, or fused to anti-tumor Ag Ab or tumor Ag. 相似文献

In addition to their physiologic effects in inflammation and angiogenesis, chemokines are involved in cancer pathology. The aim of this study was to determine whether the chemokine stromal cell-derived factor 1 (SDF-1) induces the growth, migration, and invasion of human hepatoma cells. We show that SDF-1 G protein-coupled receptor, chemokine (C-X-C motif) receptor 4 (CXCR4), and SDF-1 mRNA are expressed in human hepatoma Huh7 cells, which secrete and bind SDF-1. This binding depends on CXCR4 and glycosaminoglycans. SDF-1 associates with CXCR4, and syndecan-4 (SDC-4), a heparan sulfate proteoglycan at the plasma membrane of Huh7 cells, induces the growth of Huh7 cells by promoting their entry into the cell cycle, and inhibits the tumor necrosis factor-alpha-mediated apoptosis of the cells. SDF-1 also reorganizes Huh7 cytoskeleton and induces tyrosine phosphorylation of focal adhesion kinase. Finally, SDF-1 activates matrix metalloproteinase-9, resulting in increased migration and invasion of Huh7 cells. These biological effects of SDF-1 were strongly inhibited by the CXCR4 antagonist AMD3100, by a glycosaminoglycan, heparin, as well as by beta-D-xyloside treatment of the cells, or by c-jun NH(2)-terminal kinase/stress-activated protein kinase inhibitor. Therefore, the CXCR4, glycosaminoglycans, and the mitogen-activated protein kinase signaling pathways are involved in these events. The fact that reducing SDC-4 expression by RNA interference decreased SDF-1-induced Huh7 hepatoma cell migration and invasion strongly indicates that SDC-4 may be an auxiliary receptor for SDF-1. Finally, the fact that CXCR4 is expressed in hepatocellular carcinoma cells from liver biopsies indicates that the in vitro results reported here could be extended to in vivo conditions. 相似文献

A possible role for CXCR4 and its ligand, the CXC chemokine stromal cell-derived factor-1, in the development of bone marrow metastases in neuroblastoma 总被引:40,自引:0,他引:40

The homing of hemopoietic stem cells to the bone marrow is mediated by specific interactions occurring between CXCR4, which is expressed on hemopoietic stem cells, and its ligand, stromal cell-derived factor-1 (SDF-1), a CXC chemokine secreted by bone marrow stromal cells. In the present study we evaluated the possibility that neuroblastoma cells use a mechanism similar to that used by hemopoietic stem cells to home to the bone marrow and adhere to bone marrow stromal cells. Our study suggests that CXCR4 expression may be a general characteristic of neuroblastoma cells. SH-SY5Y neuroblastoma cells express not only CXCR4, but also its ligand, SDF-1. CXCR4 expression on SH-SY5Y neuroblastoma cells is tightly regulated by tumor cell-derived SDF-1, as demonstrated by the ability of neutralizing Abs against human SDF-1alpha to up-regulate CXCR4 expression on the tumor cells. The reduction in CXCR4 expression following short term exposure to recombinant human SDF-1alpha can be recovered as a result of de novo receptor synthesis. Recombinant human SDF-1alpha induces the migration of CXCR4-expressing SH-SY5Y neuroblastoma cells in CXCR4- and heterotrimeric G protein-dependent manners. Furthermore, SH-SY5Y cells interact at multiple levels with bone marrow components, as evidenced by the fact that bone marrow-derived constituents promote SH-SY5Y cell migration, adhesion to bone marrow stromal cells, and proliferation. These results suggest that SH-SY5Y neuroblastoma cells are equipped with adequate machinery to support their homing to the bone marrow. Therefore, the ability of neuroblastoma tumors to preferentially form metastases in the bone marrow may be influenced by a set of complex CXCR4-SDF-1 interactions. 相似文献

The SDF-1alpha/CXCR4 ligand/chemokine receptor pair is required for appropriate patterning during ontogeny and stimulates the growth and differentiation of critical cell types. Here, we demonstrate SDF-1alpha and CXCR4 expression in fetal pancreas. We have found that SDF-1alpha and its receptor CXCR4 are expressed in islets, also CXCR4 is expressed in and around the proliferating duct epithelium of the regenerating pancreas of the interferon (IFN) gamma-nonobese diabetic mouse. We show that SDF-1alpha stimulates the phosphorylation of Akt, mitogen-activated protein kinase, and Src in pancreatic duct cells. Furthermore, migration assays indicate a stimulatory effect of SDF-1alpha on ductal cell migration. Importantly, blocking the SDF-1alpha/CXCR4 axis in IFNgamma-nonobese diabetic mice resulted in diminished proliferation and increased apoptosis in the pancreatic ductal cells. Together, these data indicate that the SDF-1alpha-CXCR4 ligand receptor axis is an obligatory component in the maintenance of duct cell survival, proliferation, and migration during pancreatic regeneration. 相似文献

Tyrosine sulfation of the chemokine receptor CXCR4 enhances its interaction with the chemokine SDF-1alpha. Given similar post-translational modification of other receptors, including CCR5, CX3CR1 and CCR2b, tyrosine sulfation may be of universal importance in chemokine signaling. N-terminal domains from seven transmembrane chemokine receptors have been employed for structural studies of chemokine-receptor interactions, but never in the context of proper post-translational modifications known to affect function. A CXCR4 peptide modified at position 21 by expressed tyrosylprotein sulfotransferase-1 and unmodified peptide are both disordered in solution, but bind SDF-1alpha with low micromolar affinities. NMR and fluorescence polarization measurements showed that the CXCR4 peptide stabilizes dimeric SDF-1alpha, and that sulfotyrosine 21 binds a specific site on the chemokine that includes arginine 47. We conclude that the SDF-1alpha dimer preferentially interacts with receptor peptide, and residues beyond the extreme N-terminal region of CXCR4, including sulfotyrosine 21, make specific contacts with the chemokine ligand. 相似文献

The stromal cell-derived factor-1 (SDF-1) is a CXC chemokine, which plays critical roles in migration, proliferation, and differentiation of leukocytes. SDF-1 is the only known ligand of CXCR4, the coreceptor of X4 HIV strains. We show that SDF-1 binds to high- and low-affinity sites on HeLa cells. Coimmunoprecipitation studies demonstrate that glycanated and oligomerized syndecan-4 but neither syndecan-1, syndecan-2, betaglycan, nor CD44 forms complexes with SDF-1 and CXCR4 on these cells as well as on primary lymphocytes or macrophages. Moreover, biotinylated SDF-1 directly binds in a glycosaminoglycans (GAGs)-dependent manner to electroblotted syndecan-4, and colocalization of SDF-1 with syndecan-4 was visualized by confocal microscopy. Glycosaminidases pretreatment of the HeLa cells or the macrophages decreases the binding of syndecan-4 to the complex formed by it and SDF-1. In addition, this treatment also decreases the binding of the chemokine to CXCR4 on the primary macrophages but not on the HeLa cells. Therefore GAGs-dependent binding of SDF-1 to the cells facilitates SDF-1 binding to CXCR4 on primary macrophages but not on HeLa cell line. Finally, an SDF-1-independent heteromeric complex between syndecan-4 and CXCR4 was visualized on HeLa cells by confocal microscopy as well as by electron microscopy. Moreover, syndecan-4 from lymphocytes, monocyte derived-macrophages, and HeLa cells coimmunoprecipitated with CXCR4. This syndecan-4/CXCR4 complex is likely a functional unit involved in SDF-1 binding. The role of these interactions in the pathophysiology of SDF-1 deserves further study. 相似文献

The chemokine stromal cell-derived factor 1 (SDF-1) is the natural ligand for CXC chemokine receptor 4 (CXCR4). SDF-1 inhibits infection of CD4+ cells by X4 (CXCR4-dependent) human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) strains. We previously showed that SDF-1 alpha interacts specifically with heparin or heparan sulfates (HSs). Herein, we delimited the boundaries of the HS-binding domain located in the first beta-strand of SDF-1 alpha as the critical residues. We also provide evidence that binding to cell surface heparan sulfate proteoglycans (HSPGs) determines the capacity of SDF-1 alpha to prevent the fusogenic activity of HIV-1 X4 isolates in leukocytes. Indeed, SDF-1 alpha mutants lacking the capacity to interact with HSPGs showed a substantially reduced capacity to prevent cell-to-cell fusion mediated by X4 HIV envelope glycoproteins. Moreover, the enzymatic removal of cell surface HS diminishes the HIV-inhibitory capacity of the chemokine to the levels shown by the HS-binding-disabled mutant counterparts. The mechanisms underlying the optimal HIV-inhibitory activity of SDF-1 alpha when attached to HSPGs were investigated. Combining fluorescence resonance energy transfer and laser confocal microscopy, we demonstrate the concomitant binding of SDF-1 alpha to CXCR4 and HSPGs at the cell membrane. Using FRET between a Texas Red-labeled SDF-1 alpha and an enhanced green fluorescent protein-tagged CXCR4, we show that binding of SDF-1 alpha to cell surface HSPGs modifies neither the kinetics of occupancy nor activation in real time of CXCR4 by the chemokine. Moreover, attachment to HSPGs does not modify the potency of the chemokine to promote internalization of CXCR4. Attachment to cellular HSPGs may co-operate in the optimal anti-HIV activity of SDF-1 alpha by increasing the local concentration of the chemokine in the surrounding environment of CXCR4, thus facilitating sustained occupancy and down-regulation of the HIV coreceptor. 相似文献

Abstract. Objective : Beyond to control of cell migration, differentiation and proliferation, the extracellular matrix (ECM) also contributes to invasiveness of human cancers. As the roles of hyaluronan (HA) and collagens in this process are still controversial, we have investigated their involvement in cancer pathogenesis. Materials and methods : With this aim in view, we developed a three-dimensional matrix, as reticulate HA hydrogel alone or coated with different collagens, in which cells could invade and grow. Results : We show that cancer cells, which were non-invasive in a single HA hydrogel, acquired this capacity in the concomitant presence of type I or III collagens. Both types of ECM compound, HA and collagens, possess the capacity to stimulate production of metalloprotease-2, recognized otherwise as a factor for poor cancer prognosis. HA-provoked cellular invasiveness resulted from CD44-mediated increase in cytosolic [Ca2+ ] and its subsequent hydrolysis due to ADAM (a disintegrin and metalloprotease) proteolytic activity. Interestingly, this mechanism seemed to be absent in non-invasive cancer cell lines. Conclusion : Furthermore, using basic fibroblast growth factor and stromal cell-derived factor-1α, we also show that this three-dimensional reticulate matrix may be considered as a valuable model to study chemokinetic and chemotactic potentials of factors present in tumour stroma. 相似文献

We found that the stromal cell-derived factor-1/pre-B cell growth-stimulating factor receptor, CXC chemokine receptor 4 (CXCR4), is expressed on human CD34+ bone marrow (BM) cells. Stringently FACS-sorted CD34+CXCR4+ BM cells completely lack myeloid, erythroid, megakaryocytic, and mixed colony-forming potential (myeloid progenitors), but give rise to B and T lymphoid progenitors, whereas CD34+CXCR4- BM cells can generate colonies formed by myeloid progenitors and can also develop into these lymphoid progenitors. Therefore, expression of CXCR4 on CD34+ BM cells can allow lymphoid progenitors to be discriminated from myeloid progenitors. Because CD34+CXCR4+ cells are differentiated from CD34+CXCR4- cells, multipotential progenitors located in the BM are likely to be negative for CXCR4 expression. CXCR4 seems to be expressed earlier than the IL-7R and terminal deoxynucleotidyl transferase during early lymphohemopoiesis. These results suggest that the expression of CXCR4 on CD34+ BM cells is one of the phenotypic alterations for committed lymphoid progenitors. 相似文献

Mast cell recruitment is implicated in many physiological functions and several diseases. It depends on microenvironmental factors, including hormones. We have investigated the effect of progesterone on the migration of HMC-1(560) mast cells toward CXCL12, a chemokine that controls the migration of mast cells into tissues. HMC-1(560) mast cells were incubated with 1 nM to 1 microM progesterone for 24 h. Controls were run without progesterone. Cell migration toward CXCL12 was monitored with an in vitro assay, and statistical analysis of repeated experiments revealed that progesterone significantly reduced cell migration without increasing the number of apoptotic cells (P = 0.0084, n = 7). Differences between progesterone-treated and untreated cells were significant at 1 microM (P < 0.01, n = 7). Cells incubated with 1 microM progesterone showed no rearrangment of actin filaments in response to CXCL12. Progesterone also reduced the calcium response to CXCL12 and Akt phosphorylation. Cells incubated with progesterone had one-half the control concentrations of CXCR4 (mRNA, total protein, and membrane-bound protein). Progesterone also inhibited the migration of HMC-1(560) cells transfected with hPR-B-pSG5 plasmid, which contained 2.5 times as much PR-B as the control. These transfected cells responded differently (P < 0.05, n = 5) from untreated cells to 1 nM progesterone. We conclude that progesterone reduces mast cell migration toward CXCL12 and that CXCR4 may be a progesterone target in mast cells. 相似文献

Systemic administration with bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells (BMSCs) is a promising approach to cure myocardial ischemia (MI), while the efficacy of cell transplantation is limited by the low engraftment of BMSCs. Tanshinone IIA (Tan IIA) has been reported many times for the treatment of MI. Therefore, the present study was performed to investigate whether Tan IIA could increase the migration of BMSCs to ischemic region and its potential mechanisms. In our study, we found that combination treatment with Tan IIA and BMSCs significantly alleviated the infarct size when compared with control group (31.46 ± 3.00% vs. 46.95 ± 6.51%, p < 0.05). Results of real-time PCR showed that Tanshinone IIA (Tan IIA) did increase the migration of BMSCs to ischemic region in vivo, which was correlated with cardiac function recovery after MI. Furthermore, 2 μM Tan IIA could enhance the migration capability of BMSCs in vitro (3.69-fold of control), and this enhancement could be blocked by AMD3100 (a CXC chemokine receptor 4 blocker). CXCR4, together with its specific receptor, stromal cell-derived factor-1 (SDF-1) plays a critical role in the stem cell recruitment. Our experiment indicated that Tan IIA could promote SDF-1α expression in the infarct area and enhance the CXCR4 expression of BMSCs in vitro. Therefore, we postulated that Tan IIA could increase the BMSCs migration via up-regulating SDF1/CXCR4 axis. 相似文献

The Rap GTPases regulate B cell migration toward the chemokine stromal cell-derived factor-1 (CXCL12): potential role for Rap2 in promoting B cell migration 总被引:10,自引:0,他引:10

Stromal cell-derived factor-1 (SDF-1) is a potent chemoattractant for B cells and B cell progenitors. Although the binding of SDF-1 to its receptor, CXCR4, activates multiple signaling pathways, the mechanism by which SDF-1 regulates cell migration is not completely understood. In this report we show that activation of the Rap GTPases is important for B cells to migrate toward SDF-1. We found that treating B cells with SDF-1 resulted in the rapid activation of both Rap1 and Rap2. Moreover, blocking the activation of Rap1 and Rap2 via the expression of a Rap-specific GTPase-activating protein significantly reduced the ability of B cells to migrate toward SDF-1. Conversely, expressing a constitutively active form of Rap2 increased SDF-1-induced B cell migration. Thus, the Rap GTPases control cellular processes that are important for B cells to migrate toward SDF-1. 相似文献

CD26/dipeptidylpeptidase IV (DPPIV) is a membrane-bound extracellular peptidase that cleaves dipeptides from the N terminus of polypeptide chains. The N terminus of chemokines is known to interact with the extracellular portion of chemokine receptors, and removal of these amino acids in many instances results in significant changes in functional activity. CD26/DPPIV has the ability to cleave the chemokine CXCL12/stromal cell-derived factor 1alpha (SDF-1alpha) at its position two proline. CXCL12/SDF-1alpha induces migration of hemopoietic stem and progenitor cells, and it is thought that CXCL12 plays a crucial role in homing/mobilization of these cells to/from the bone marrow. We found that CD26/DPPIV is expressed by a subpopulation of CD34(+) hemopoietic cells isolated from cord blood and that these cells have DPPIV activity. The involvement of CD26/DPPIV in CD34(+) hemopoietic stem and progenitor cell migration has not been previously examined. Functional studies show that the N-terminal-truncated CXCL12/SDF-1alpha lacks the ability to induce the migration of CD34(+) cord blood cells and acts to inhibit normal CXCL12/SDF-1alpha-induced migration. Finally, inhibiting the endogenous CD26/DPPIV activity on CD34(+) cells enhances the migratory response of these cells to CXCL12/SDF-1alpha. This process of CXCL12/SDF-1alpha cleavage by CD26/DPPIV on a subpopulation of CD34(+) cells may represent a novel regulatory mechanism in hemopoietic stem and progenitor cells for the migration, homing, and mobilization of these cells. Inhibition of the CD26/DPPIV peptidase activity may therefore represent an innovative approach to increasing homing and engraftment during cord blood transplantation. 相似文献

The neuron-glia cell adhesion molecule (Ng-CAM) has been identified in mammalian brain tissue and PC12 pheochromocytoma cells as Mr 200,000 and Mr 230,000 species, respectively. When PC12 cells were treated with nerve growth factor (NGF), the amount of Ng-CAM at the cell surface was increased approximately threefold, whereas the amount of the neural cell adhesion molecule (N-CAM) remained unchanged. An NGF-inducible large external glycoprotein (NILE) has been previously identified by its enhanced expression in NGF-treated PC12 cells. Ng-CAM and NILE are similar in molecular weight, expression during development, and responsiveness to NGF in PC12 cells, suggesting that the two molecules are related. In addition, antibodies to Ng-CAM and NILE cross-reacted and the molecules had similar peptide maps after limited proteolysis. Moreover, antibodies to Ng-CAM inhibited fasciculation of neurites, a functional property shared with NILE. The results show that cell adhesion molecules can respond selectively to growth factors and suggest that NILE is, in fact, mammalian Ng-CAM. 相似文献
