Summary Previous studies with rats have shown that a single oral dose of the proteinase inhibitor Camostate (FOY-305) induces release of cholecystokinin (CCK) into the circulation, which lasts for 3 to 6h. This transient endogenous release of hormone results in a depletion of pancreatic enzyme stores within 1 h and an increase in total rate of protein synthesis, which peaks at 6 to 9 h. At the level of individual enzyme biosynthesis a transient decrease in amylase and an increase in trypsinogen and chymotrypsinogen is observed. In the present study the time course of DNA synthesis and the labeling index of 5 populations of pancreatic cells have been analysed following a single oral dose of 50 or 100 mg/kg proteinase inhibitor, using in vivo labeling with 12 Ci/g body weight 3H-thymidine 1 h prior to sacrifice of the animals. DNA synthesis did not change during the initial 12 h following inhibitor feeding and then showed a phasic increase with a peak (20-fold) at 24h and intermediate increases (4- to 5-fold) at 18 and 36 h, respectively. From the 5 pancreatic cell populations studied by autoradiography the labeling indices of interlobular duct cells and islet cells did not change over the entire observation period. Acinar cells, intralobular duct cells and interstitial cells showed a marked increase in labeling index with peak values at 24h, which were 20-fold in acinar cells and 5.5- and 8.5-fold in intralobular duct cells and interstitial cells, respectively. The data demonstrate a significant growth response of pancreatic acinar tissue after a single episode of endogenous CCK-release, which is similar in extent, time course and cellular source as previously demonstrated during persistent stimulation of the pancreas by prolonged infusion of the CCK-analogue caerulein.  相似文献

Summary Application of a single dose of a new type of proteinase inhibitor camostate (FOY-305) via orogastric tube was used in rats to study the dose-response relationship of resulting pancreatic stimulation. Doses up to 10 mg/ kg failed to elicit any response, while significant decrease in enzyme content and increase in serum CCK-levels were observed with doses ranging from 25 to 400 mg/kg. A single dose of 100 mg/kg was selected for a time-sequence analysis, which revealed a 60 to 70% depletion of enzyme stores persisting over 6 h and reverting to control levels by 12 h. Peak increases in serum CCK-levels (15-fold above the elevation observed after regular food intake) were found after 30 min and persisted as an 8-to 10-fold elevation for at least 3 h, then declined to control levels by 9 h. This prolonged endogenous hormone release and resulting pancreatic stimulation were also verified in a separate group of animals in which volume, protein, and enzyme output were measured after cannulation of the pancreatic duct. While volume secretion was not altered by feeding a single dose of 100 mg/kg FOY-305, protein and enzyme output increased 2-to 3-fold over a period of 7 h. Fine-structural analysis of the pancreas demonstrated efficient depletion of zymogen granules from acinar cells with all doses between 50 and 400 mg/kg, accompanied by the appearance of membrane material in the acinar lumina at 3 and 6 h. The same transient increase in the number of lysosomal bodies predominantly containing mitochondria with all doses above 50 mg/kg was interpreted as increased organelle turnover due to persisting hormonal stimulation.Supported by a grant from the Deutsche Forschungsgemeinschaft (Ke 113/15-1/2)  相似文献

Isolation in a 55% yield of the low molecular weight pancreatic secretory trypsin inhibitor was achieved by gel filtration of an acid extract of whole inactive rat pancreas juice on Sephadex G-50 at pH 2.5 followed by desalting and ion-exchange chromatography on SP Sephadex C-50 at pH 4.5. Two distinct chromatographic fractions were obtained, labeled fraction 1 and 2. Fractions 1 and 2 showed three, respectively two, distinct closely migrating cationic bands on gel electrophoresis in barbital buffer, pH 8.6. Each fraction demonstrated one band on polyacrylamide disc electrophoresis at pH 4.6. The inhibitor is homogenous on gel filtration and on the basis of its stoichiometry with active site titrated rat anionic trypsin. Its molecular weight is approx. 6024. The amino acid composition is included. Rat pancreatic secretory trypsin inhibitor is trypsin-specific and interacts on a 1:1 molar basis with rat trypsin. It is good inhibitor of bovine trypsin but a poor inhibitor of human cationic trypsin and its binding to trypsin is reversible by acidification. Like other inhibitors of this sort, it is present in about 0.1–0.2% of the total protein content of the juice, and normally exists in its free form. A simple procedure for the production of antiserum to the inhibitor which is a poor antigen is also described.  相似文献

The secretory leucocyte proteinase inhibitor (SLPI) is a low molecular weight, tissue-specific inhibitor of, for example, elastase and cathepsin G, which also have antimicrobial capacity. SLPI has been localised to the respiratory, gastrointestinal and genital tracts, but so far not to the kidney. The presence of SLPI in renal tubuli cells was demonstrated using immunohistochemistry and, by means of in situ hybridisation on human renal biopsies, we were able to demonstrate SLPI production. In various inflammatory conditions in the kidneys, the protease-antiprotease balance is disturbed. For this reason, as well as the possible role in the defence against ascending urinary tract infections, it is interesting to establish a source of SLPI in renal tubuli cells.  相似文献

On the cDNA's for two types of rat pancreatic secretory trypsin inhibitor   总被引:4,自引:0,他引:4  
Two types of cDNA, which code for the two types of rat pancreatic secretory trypsin inhibitors (PSTIs), were cloned and sequenced. Both predicted amino acid sequences consisting of 79 amino acids, with the secretion signal peptide consisting of 18 and 23 amino acids for PSTI-I and PSTI-II, respectively. The nucleotide sequences were 91% homologous between the two cDNAs, but 68% and 65% homologous, respectively, when compared with human PSTI cDNA. Northern blot analyses showed that PSTI-I is expressed in the pancreas, whereas PSTI-II is expressed in the pancreas and the liver using the same promoter. Southern blot analyses suggested that both PSTI-I and PSTI-II genes are single copy genes per haploid genome. Duplication of rat PSTI gene seems to have occurred recently, after the divergence of humans and rats.  相似文献

A new low-molecular mass cysteine proteinase inhibitor (CPI) was purified from the cytosol of peripheral pig leukocytes. The isolation procedure included DEAE chromatography, Sephadex G-100 gel filtration and fast-protein liquid chromatography on Mono Q. The procedure resulted in the isolation of a homogeneous protein with a molecular mass of approximately 12 kDa and a pI of 4.8. The amino terminus is blocked. The amino-acid composition and the sequence of the C-terminal part of the molecule are suggestive of a new family of cystatins. The CPI was found to be a tight-binding inhibitor of both papain and cathepsin L, with Ki values of 0.1 nM and 1 nM, respectively.  相似文献

Electrothermal atomic absorption spectroscopy was employed for measuring barium in beta-cell-rich pancreatic islets microdissected from ob/ob-mice. Both the uptake and efflux of barium displayed two distinct phases. There was a 4-fold accumulation of barium into intracellular stores when its extracellular concentration was 0.26 mM. Unlike divalent cations with more extensive intracellular accumulation, the washout of Ba2+ was not inhibited by D-glucose. Ba2+ served as a substitute for Ca2+ both in maintaining the glucose metabolism after removal of extracellular Ca2+ and making it possible for glucose to stimulate insulin release. Furthermore, Ba2+ elicited insulin release in the absence of glucose and other secretagogues. The latter effect was reversible and was markedly potentiated under conditions known to increase the beta-cell content of cyclic AMP. It is likely that the observed actions of Ba2+ are mediated by Ca2+, since Ca2+ -dependent regulatory proteins, such as calmodulin, apparently cannot bind Ba2+ specifically.  相似文献

A synthetic gene for human pancreatic secretory trypsin inhibitor (PSTI) was fused to the coding sequence for the amino-terminal 135 amino acid residues of human interferon-gamma (IFN-gamma) by interposing a methionine codon sequence, and the resulting hybrid gene was efficiently expressed in Escherichia coli cells. Recombinant human PSTI (rHu-PSTI) was separated from the IFN-gamma/PSTI fused protein by cleavage at the methionine residue with cyanogen bromide. Finally, rHu-PSTI was purified by affinity chromatography on a bovine trypsin-CH-Sepharose 4B column. The amino acid composition, partial amino-terminal sequence, disulfide formation, human trypsin inhibitory activity, and immunoreactivity against rabbit anti-human PSTI serum of rHu-PSTI corresponded to those of the natural form.  相似文献

The multiplicity of human pancreatic secretory trypsin inhibitor   总被引:1,自引:0,他引:1  
Four forms of pancreatic secretory trypsin inhibitor (PSTI; A1, A2, B, and C) were purified from human pancreatic juice. According to sequence results, the primary structure of B was different from that reported earlier (Greene, L.J., et al. (1976) Method Enzymol. 45, 813-825) at two positions, i.e. Asn21----Asp21, Asp29----Asn29. A1 and A2 were deamidated forms of B judging from peptide mappings with Staphylococcus aureus V8 protease. Gln45 in B was replaced by Glu in A1 and Gln51 in B was replaced by Glu in A2. C was an inhibitor lacking five amino acid residues from the amino terminal of B. B and C inhibited human cationic trypsin activity stoichiometrically with similar dissociation constants, but A1 and A2 showed poorer trypsin inhibitory activity than B and C.  相似文献

The genetic constitution and differential gene expression of an organism play important roles in controlling the species-specific rate of aging and the maximum life span potential. We utilized a differential-display polymerase chain reaction technique to identify the age-dependent expression of genes in the rat liver. We demonstrate in this report, for the first time, that expression of the pancreatic secretory trypsin inhibitor II (PSTI-II) gene declines drastically during aging. We confirmed this decrease by Northern blot analysis. Low PSTI-II levels in aged animals might result in a lack of protection from prematurely activated trypsin-like proteases, which would thus enhance inflammation.Supported by funds from the Department of Biotechnology and by Research Fellowships (to H.P. and G.Z.) from the Council of Scientific and Industrial Research (Government of India).  相似文献

Site-directed mutagenesis of human pancreatic secretory trypsin inhibitor   总被引:1,自引:0,他引:1  
Arg-42 or Lys-43 or Arg-44 of human pancreatic secretory trypsin inhibitor (PSTI) was replaced by Thr or Ser by site-directed mutagenesis, and the inactivation rates of the mutants after mixing with human trypsin were compared with that of the natural form. The inactivation rate decreased for one mutant (Arg-44----Ser), whereas no change was observed for another (Arg-42----Thr) and an increase was observed for a third (Lys-43----Thr). Kinetic studies on the interactions between human trypsin and synthetic peptides, comprising the regions of Phe39-Ser47 of the respective PSTI species, showed that human trypsin cleaved the Arg42-Lys43 bond preferentially to the Arg44-Gln45 bond. However, it is cleavage of the latter bond that is thought to cause inactivation of human PSTI. These results suggest that the Arg44-Gln45 bond of human PSTI is responsible for its inhibitory activity, and inactivation of human PSTI is probably caused by deletion of the dipeptide Lys43-Arg44.  相似文献

Camostat mesilate, an orally available proteinase inhibitor, is clinically used for treatment of pancreatitis. Given recent evidence that pancreatic proteinases including trypsin and/or proteinase-activated receptor-2 (PAR2) might be involved in pancreatic pain, we examined if camostat mesilate could suppress spinal Fos expression, a marker for neuronal activation, following specific application of trypsin to the pancreas, and pancreatitis-related referred allodynia. Trypsin, administered into the pancreatic duct, caused delayed expression of Fos proteins in the superficial layer of the bilateral T8 and T9 spinal dorsal horns in rats. The trypsin-induced spinal Fos expression was completely abolished by oral pre-administration of camostat mesilate at 300 mg/kg. After hourly repeated (6 times in total) administration of caerulein, mice showed typical symptoms of pancreatitis, accompanied by mechanical allodynia in the upper abdomen (i.e., referred hyperalgesia/allodynia), as assessed by use of von Frey filaments. Camostat mesilate at 100-300 mg/kg, given orally twice before the 1st and 4th doses of caerulein, abolished the pancreatitis-related abdominal allodynia, while it partially prevented the inflammatory signs. The same doses of camostat mesilate, when administered once after the final dose of caerulein, also revealed significant anti-allodynic effect. These data suggest that camostat mesilate prevents and/or depresses pancreatitis-induced pain and/or referred hyperalgesia/allodynia, in which proteinases including trypsin would play a critical role.  相似文献

Isolated rat pancreatic islets were pulse-labeled for 5 min with [3H]leucine then chased for 25 min, during which time endogenously labeled [3H]proinsulin becomes predominantly compartmented in immature secretory granules. The islets were then homogenized in isotonic sucrose (pH 7.4) and a beta-granule preparation obtained by differential centrifugation and discontinuous sucrose gradient ultracentrifugation. This preparation was enriched 8-fold in beta-granules. Aside from contamination with mitochondria and a limited number of lysosomes, the beta-granule preparation was essentially free of any other organelles involved in proinsulin synthesis and packaging (i.e. microsomal elements and, more particularly, Golgi complex). Conversion of endogenously labeled [3H]proinsulin was followed in this beta-granule fraction for up to 2 h at 37 degrees C in a buffer (pH 7.3) that mimicked the cationic constituents of B-cell cytosol, during which time 92% of the beta-granules remained intact. Proinsulin conversion was analyzed by high performance liquid chromatography. The rate of proinsulin conversion to insulin was stimulated by 2.2 +/- 0.1-fold (n = 6) (at a 60-min incubation) in the presence of ATP (2 mM) and an ATP regenerating system compared to beta-granule preparations incubated without ATP. This ATP stimulation was abolished in the presence of beta-granule proton pump ATPase inhibitors (tributyltin, 2.5 microM, or 1,3-dicyclohexylcarbodiimide, 50 microM). Inhibitors of mitochondrial proton pump ATPases (sodium azide, 20 mM, or oligomycin, 10 micrograms/ml) had no effect on the ATP stimulation of proinsulin conversion. When granules were incubated in a more acidic buffer (pH 5.5), proinsulin conversion was increased relative to that at pH 7.3. At pH 5.5, ATP no longer stimulated conversion, and tributyltin and 1,3-dicyclohexylcarbodiimide had no effect. Disrupted granules only converted proinsulin to a limited extent, and neither ATP nor the inhibitors affected conversion. It is therefore suggested that ATP stimulation of proinsulin conversion in isolated, intact, beta-granules is secondary to intragranular acidification by an ATP-dependent proton pump (reflecting the low pH optimum for proinsulin conversion), rather than ATP dependence of converting activity per se.  相似文献

Human pancreatic secretory trypsin inhibitor (PSTI) cDNA was expressed in Saccharomyces cerevisiae using the yeast acid phosphatase PHO5 promoter. The product encoded by the PSTI-coding cDNA was correctly processed in yeast cells, and the PSTI molecules were efficiently secreted into the medium. The amino acid composition and the N-terminal amino acid sequence of the secreted PSTI molecules were identical to those of the authentic PSTI polypeptides from human pancreas, and the product exhibited trypsin-inhibitory activity.  相似文献

The Sertoli cells of the rat testis produce cystatin C, a cysteine proteinase inhibitor. Primary culture of Sertoli cells secreted both unglycosylated and glycosylated forms of rat cystatin C. Despite the low concentration of cystatin C in rete testis fluid, equilibrium dissociation constants (Ki) for the interaction between cystatin C and lysosomal cathepsins indicate that this molecule could be involved in the local regulation of testicular cysteine proteinase activity which may be necessary for spermatogenesis and spermiogenesis.  相似文献

Protein kinase ASK1 (Apoptosis signal-regulating kinase 1) plays a key role in cell differentiation, aging and apoptosis. High activity of the kinase is associated with several pathologies. The ASK1 inhibitors might be therapeutic for patients with neurodegenerative, cardiovascular diseases and fibrous histiocytoma. In this work the identification of ASK1 inhibitors was performed by the methods of computer modeling and biochemical testing in vitro. The virtual screening experiments were carried out targeting the ATP binding site of ASK1 by browsing the database which contained 164 840 compounds of diverse chemical classes. The best-scored 300 ligands have been taken for the kinase assay analysis. In vitro tests revealed that derivatives of 2-thioxo-thiazolidin-4-one exhibited inhibitory activity against ASK1. The most active compound was 5-bromo-3-(4-oxo-2-thioxo-thiazolidin-5-ylidene)-1,3-dihydro-indol-2-one (IC50 = 2 microM). Binding mode for inhibitors of this class with ASK1 ATP-binding site was proposed. Our results can be used for further optimization and developing more potent and selective inhibitors of ASK1.  相似文献

Binding of the human recombinant secretory leukocyte proteinase inhibitor (SLPI) [native and with the methionyl residues at positions 73, 82, 94 and 96 of domain 2 oxidized to the sulfoxide derivative (Met(O) SLPI)] to bovine α-chymotrypsin (α-chymotrypsin) [native and with the Met192 residue converted to the sufoxide derivative (Met(O) α-chymotrypsin)] as well as to native bovine β-trypsin (β-trypsin), which does not contain methionyl residues, has been investigated between pH 4.0 and 8.0, and between 10.0°C ad 30.0°C, from thermodynamic and/or kinetic viewpoints. By increasing the number of oxidized methytonyl residues present at the proteinase: inhibitor contact interface (from 0 to 3), the adducts investigated are increasingly destabilized and the relaxation time of the complexes into conformers less stable is enhanced. On the other hand, the selective oxidation methionyl residues of SLPI and α-chymotrypsin, by the reaction with chloramines T, does not affect the proteinase inhibition recognition mechanism. Therefore, even though conformational changes may occur in the conversion native SLPI and native α-chymotrypsin to their Met(O) derivatives, a localized steric hindrance can be considered as the main structural determinant accounting for the reported results.  相似文献

Serum-free culture medium conditioned by an established human pancreatic adenocarcinoma cell line, CAPAN-1, contains copious amounts of immunoreactivity due to pancreatic secretory trypsin inhibitor (PSTI) as demonstrated by radioimmunoassay. The immunoreactive substance was purified from the conditioned medium to apparent homogeneity by trypsin affinity and gel filtration chromatography with an overall recovery of 40%, and its primary structure was determined by Edman degradation. The immunoreactive substance is a peptide of 56 amino acid residues with a calculated molecular weight of 6,241. Its amino acid composition, primary structure, and inhibitory effect against trypsin are indistinguishable from those of human pancreatic juice PSTI, indicating that this substance is PSTI itself. This is the first direct demonstration that tumor cells secrete PSTI in vitro. When CAPAN-1 was inoculated into a nude mouse, it produced a tumor and the tumor synthesized human PSTI in vivo, as demonstrated by the fact that the tumor extract contained 99.0 +/- 26.2 ng of human PSTI/mg of protein, while PSTI was not detected in extracts from other tissues examined. Furthermore, high levels of human PSTI (14.3 +/- 2.6 ng/ml) were detected in the serum of tumor-bearing mice but not in that of nontumor-bearing mice, suggesting that PSTI secreted from the tumor appears in the blood circulation. Taken together, these results strongly support the view that the serum levels of PSTI are elevated in cancer-bearing patients due to secretion of this peptide from tumor cells per se.  相似文献

In the presence of Li+, glucose, 2-ketoisocaproate and carbamylcholine induced the rapid formation of 3H-inositol phosphates in rat pancreatic islets prelabelled with 3H-inositol. The production of labelled inositol phosphates continued up to 20 min of incubation. Glibenclamide and ionophore A23187 had no significant effect on labelled inositol phosphate production. The effects of carbamylcholine and to a lesser extent, glucose were found to persist in the absence of added Ca2+, but both were strongly inhibited by excess EGTA. In general, the rise in 3H-inositol phosphate production was associated with a fall in lipid bound radioactivity, although the latter was found to occur more slowly, and was of a smaller magnitude than labelled inositol phosphate formation. The results suggest that nutrient secretagogues and cholinergic agonists stimulate hydrolysis of phosphoinositides in pancreatic islets by a phospholipase C mechanism. This effect is Ca2+-dependent, but probably not triggered by increased Ca2+ uptake into the islet.  相似文献
