The mechanism(s) by which zinc is transported into cells has not been identified. Since zinc uptake is inhibited by reducing
the temperature, zinc uptake may depend on the movement of plasma membrane micoenvironments, such as endocytosis or potocytosis.
We investigated the potential role of potocytosis in cellular zinc uptake by incubating normal and acrodermatitis enteropathica
fibroblasts with nystatin, a sterol-binding drug previously shown to inhibit potocytosis. Zinc uptake was determined during
initial rates of uptake (10 min) following incubation of the fibroblasts in 50 μg nystatin/mL or 0.1% dimethyl-sulfoxide for
10 min at 37°C. The cells were then incubated with 1 to 30 μM
65zinc. Michaelis-Menten kinetics were observed for zinc uptake. Nystatin inhibited zinc uptake in both the normal and AE fibroblasts.
Reduced cellular uptake of zinc was associated with its internalization, not its external binding. In normal fibroblasts,
nystatin significantly reduced theK
m 56% and theV
max 69%. In the AE fibroblasts, nystatin treatment significantly reduced theV
max 59%, but did not significantly affect theK
m. The AE mutation alone affected theV
max for cellular zinc uptake. The control AE fibroblasts exhibited a 40% reduction inV
max compared to control normal fibroblasts. We conclude that nystatin exerts its effect on zinc uptake by reducing the velocity
at which zinc traverses the cell membrane, possibly through potocytosis. Furthermore, the AE mutation also effects zinc transport
by reducing zinc transport. 相似文献

The effect of the acrodermatitis enteropathica mutation on zinc uptake in human fibroblasts 总被引:1,自引:0,他引:1
The acrodermatitis enteropathica (AE) mutation affects intestinal zinc absorption. Our goal was to determine whether the AE
mutation affects zinc uptake in human fibroblasts. Zinc uptake was determined during initial rates of uptake (10 min) following
incubation in HEPES/saline buffer. Zinc uptake (from 0.25 to 1 μM) into normal fibroblasts was significantly greater than into the AE fibroblasts (p<0.05). In order to identify factors that may alter cellular zinc uptake and be affected by the AE mutation, zinc uptake in
the presence of albumin or bicarbonate was measured. Albumin restricted zinc uptake in both normal and AE fibroblasts, whereas
bicarbonate stimulated zinc uptake in the normal fibroblasts. The effect of bicarbonate on zinc uptake in the AE fibroblasts
was significantly reduced in both the Pronase-sensitive and Pronase-resistant compartments. Following loading of the fibroblasts
with 1 μM zinc for 60 min, zinc efflux and retention were measured. The AE mutation did not affect zinc retention compared to normal
fibroblasts. We conclude that the AE mutation affects both zinc binding to the cell surface and its translocation across the
plasma membrane into the cell, possibly mediated through a defective anionic exchange mechanism. 相似文献

Uptake of horseradish peroxidase (HRP) was quantified in the unicellular eukaryote Paramecium aurelia. About 80% of the total HRP accumulated within 20 min entered the cells via a fluid phase pathway as demonstrated measuring the HRP internalization in the presence of yeast mannan. The rate of HRP accumulation was concentration-dependent and was found to be linear over the range of 50–500 μg HRP per ml of the extracellular medium. During the first 10 min of exposure to HRP, the mannan-uninhibitable uptake was found to reach 1.2–1.65 ng HRP per mg protein (depending on the concentration of the marker in the medium), which corresponds to 0.68 fl per cell/min. Accumulation of HRP reached a plateau within the next 10–15 min and its intracellular uptake was 2–2.55 ng HRP per mg protein. When the phagocytic activity of the cells was blocked with 1-propranolol, the amount of cell-accumulated HRP was 1.8–2.1-fold higher than in the control and the rate of the marker uptake within the first 10 min of incubation reached 1.114 fl per cell/min. 相似文献

The mechanisms of zinc uptake from a complete culture medium by human fibroblasts have been studied. The metal is accumulated in a biphasic pattern; an initial rapid phase followed by a slower linear phase. We suggest that the former represents binding to carriers or receptors on the cell surface followed by uptake to within the cell, or at least to a compartment inaccessible to proteolytic digestion. The uptake correlates well with estimates of the zinc requirement of a growing fibroblast. The process of uptake is saturable, with an apparent association constant of 1.1 X 10(7) M-1. Interestingly, there appears to be a very large number of binding sites, 2 X 10(7) per cell. No explanation for this observation is immediately apparent. The mechanism of uptake is not dependent on metabolic energy, or at least on ATP levels within the cell, but N-ethyl maleimide does block uptake in a dose-dependent manner. Weak bases and ionophores, apart from nigericin, do not affect uptake. The results suggest that zinc is not taken up by a receptor-mediated endocytic pathway as has been described for transferrin and iron. 相似文献

Zinc biosorption from aqueous solution by a halotolerant cyanobacterium Aphanothece halophytica 总被引:6,自引:0,他引:6
We have investigated the characteristics of zinc biosorption by Aphanothece halophytica. Zinc could be rapidly taken up from aqueous solution by the cells with an equilibrium being reached within 15 min of incubation
with 100 mg L−1 ZnCl2. The adsorbed zinc was desorbed by treatment with 10 mM EDTA. The presence of glucose, carbonyl cyanide m-chlorophenylhydrazone (CCCP), and N,N′-dicyclohexylcarbodiimide (DCCD) did not affect the uptake of zinc. The specific uptake
of zinc increased at low cell concentration and decreased when cell concentration exceeded 0.2 g L−1. The binding of zinc followed Langmuir isotherm kinetics with a maximum zinc binding capacity of 133 mg g−1 and an apparent zinc binding constant of 28 mg L−1. The presence of an equimolar concentration of Mn2+, Mg2+, Co2+, K+, or Na+ had no effect on zinc biosorption, whereas Ca2+, Hg2+, and Pb2+ showed an inhibitory effect. The biosorption of zinc was low at a pH range from 4 to 6, but increased progressively at pH

Determination of zinc concentrations in white blood cells has been used to establish zinc deficiency. During pathological conditions changes in zinc concentrations in these blood cells were observed. However, these investigations were hampered by the low amount of zinc in this form per mL blood. Earlier we demonstrated that, in the case of zinc deficiency, the uptake of zinc was increased, using the in vitro exchange of zinc by the various blood cells with extracellular zinc labeled with65Zn in fairly physiologic conditions. In case of inflammation, no increase in zinc uptake by erythrocytes was seen, indicating that this method probably can be used to differentiate real from apparent zinc deficiency. Only during the first days of the inflammatory process, probably representing the redistribution phase during which zinc moves from the serum to the liver, a small increase in in vitro zinc uptake was seen in mononuclear cells (MNC) and polymorphonuclear cells (PMNC). Earlier papers raised some questions; e.g., is the uptake part of an exchange process and can the efflux of zinc by the cells be measured by the same method; what is the influence of time on the process of zinc uptake; what is the magnitude of the uptake of zinc by the cells compared to the zinc concentration in the cells; and, what is the influence of temperature on the uptake of zinc? In the present study, the influence of incubation time and temperature on the uptake of zinc by human and rat blood cells and on the release of zinc by rat blood cells was studied. At least three phases of uptake of zinc in the various cells were found by varying the incubation time—a fast phase during the first half hour, probably caused by an aspecific binding of zinc on or in the cell membrane; a second fast uptake between 60–330 min, probably caused by an influx of zinc in the cell as part of the exchange process of zinc; and a slow third phase after 5.5 h, in which probably the in- and efflux of the rapidly exchangeable intracellular pool is more or less equilibrated. For mononuclear cells, polymorphonuclear cells, and erythrocytes of rats, the rapidly exchangeable intracellular pool is 40%, 53%, and 10%, respectively, of the total zinc content of the cells. This study is also performed in human cells; in human cells the exchangeable pool of mononuclear cells and erythrocytes is 17 and 3.5% of the total zinc content of the cells, respectively. The efflux of zinc by blood cells can be measured by the same method. Both the uptake and the loss of zinc by blood cells of rats were compared and are of the same magnitude, indicating that the in vitro uptake of zinc described elsewhere is part of an exchange process. Increasing temperature during incubation procedures results in an increase of zinc uptake by human blood cells, even at high temperatures of 41°C, although there are gradual differences between the various blood cells. Both the in- and efflux of zinc by blood cells are very small at 4°C. 相似文献

Low density lipoprotein receptor binding in aging human diploid fibroblasts in culture 总被引:4,自引:0,他引:4
High affinity cell surface receptors for low density lipoproteins (LDL) are inducible in cultured human lung fibroblasts by the removal of lipoproteins from the cell culture medium. The binding, uptake, and degradation of 125I-LDL by fibroblasts decrease with increasing number of population doublings. The affinity of LDL receptor binding, however, remained unchanged at different population doublings levels. Hence, the difference in LDL binding activity in the aging fibroblasts can be attributed to a reduction in the number of receptor sites on the cell membrane. Cellular uptake of [4-14C]cholesterol and 2-deoxy-D-[1-14C]glucose mediated through mechanisms independent of the LDL receptor pathway revealed no significant difference in early and late passage fibroblasts. This suggests that the alteration in the LDL receptor binding in serially passaged fibroblasts is an "age-related" phenomenon. The late population doubling fibroblasts require more LDL in the culture medium for feedback inhibition of LDL receptor synthesis. Thus, aging fibroblasts are both progressively less inducible and less suppressible in the regulation of their cell membrane LDL receptors. Similar results were also obtained with respect to the regulation of DL-3-hydroxy-3-methyl-glutaryl coenzyme A reductase in the aging fibroblasts in culture; the enzyme has become less inducible and less supressible as the fibroblasts approach the limit of their in vitro lifespan. These age-related alterations in the cellular metabolism of LDL and cholesterol might contribute to our understanding of the increased risk of athlerosclerosis in our aging population. 相似文献

The Transplantable B-16 melanotic melanoma carried in syngeneic C57B1/6J female mice and the Syrian hamster melanoma cell line, RPMI 3460, were utilized to determine whether steroid-hormone receptors are present in animal melanomas. In the B-16 melanoma, a cytoplasmic-estrogen receptor is detectable, but there is no evidence for androgen or progestin receptors. Some tumors contain a glucocorticoid-binding macromolecule. Sucrosedensity gradient centrifugation of cytosol after incubation with [3H]-estradiol revealed an 8S peak that was suppressed by excess radioinert diethylstilbesterol. Binding varied from 5–35 fmoles per mg cytosol protein. Scatchard analysis of [3H]-estradiol binding in cytosol yielded a single class of high-affinity binding sites; the dissociation constant is 6 × 10?10 M. The receptor molecule is shown to be estrogen-specific by ligand competition assays. In contrast to B-16 melanoma, no estrogen, androgen, or progestin receptor can be found in the Syrian hamster melanoma cell line. However, a substantial level of specific binding is observed using [3H]-dexamethasone. Sucrose-gradient centrifugation of cytosol from this cell line after incubation with [3H]-dexamethasone revealed a 7S peak that was suppressed by excess radioinert dexamethasone. Scatchard analysis indicated a single class of high affinity sites with a dissociation constant of 2 × 10?9 M. Binding levels from 70–610 fmoles per mg cytosol protein were observed. The Syrian hamster melanoma cells also exhibit a biological response to glucocorticoids: Dexamethasone causes both an inhibition of growth and a decrease in final-cell density in these cells. 相似文献

Spinal cord-myotube cultures prepared with dissociated embryonic chick spinal cord cells and myoblasts exhibit a high affinity mechanism for accumulating choline. The uptake mechanism has a Km of 3.4 ± 0.5 μM (7) and a Vm of 40.0 ± 0.1 (7) pmoles/min/mg of protein (mean ± SEM; number of determinations in parentheses). It is inhibited 90–95% by 10 μM hemicholinium-3 or by replacement of Na+ in the incubation solution with Li+. Part of the choline (10–20%) accumulated by the high affinity system is converted to acetylcholine (ACh). Uptake studies on spinal cord cells and myotubes grown separately demonstrate that the spinal cord cells can account for virtually all of the choline uptake observed in the mixed cultures. Myotubes are unnecessary under these conditions for the expression of the high affinity uptake mechanism by spinal cord cells. Neurons are not the only cell type in culture to exhibit high affinity choline uptake. Chick fibroblasts in both rapidly growing and stationary phase can accumulate choline with kinetics similar to those observed for the high affinity uptake by spinal cord cells. Little if any of the choline accumulated by fibroblasts, however, is converted to ACh. In most uptake studies with spinal cord cells, contributions from fibroblasts were minimized by carrying out the analysis at a time when few non-neuronal cells were present in the spinal cord cultures. These observations suggest that a population of chick central nervous system (CNS) neurons develop a high affinity choline uptake mechanism in cell culture that has many of the properties described for uptake by cholinergic neurons in vivo and that at least part of the choline accumulated by the system can be used for neurotransmitter synthesis. 相似文献

Zinc ion-dependent protein in boar semen. II. Effects on sperm motility and antibacterial properties
《Animal reproduction science》1987,13(2):133-142
New functions of a zinc ion-dependent protein isolated from boar seminal plasma are presented. The results of studies suggest that plasma proteins in boar semen are arranged specifically and control the motility of the spermatozoa. The zinc ion-dependent protein seems to be a factor inactivating the plasmatic inhibitor of spermatozoa motility. The protein exhibited a regulating activity in the pH range 7.3–8.2, and at a quantitative protein ratio of 13:1, in favour of the inhibitor.This protein also inhibited the growth of bacteria, especially Gram-positive species. At a concentration of 4 mg/ml of the medium, the protein or its fractions totally inhibited the growth of bacteria of the genus Micrococcus after 6 h of incubation. As regards other strains of bacteria, total inhibition of growth was observed after 24–48 h. Antibacterial activity of the protein did not change after a short period of heating at 100°C, nor after freezing/thawing. 相似文献

Age-related changes in cell surfaces of human diploid fibroblasts (TIG-1) were investigated using the concanavalin A (ConA)-mediated red blood cell (RBC) adsorption assay. When ConA-coated RBCs were adsorbed to fibroblasts (RBC coating method), the amount of RBCs adsorbed per mg of fibroblast protein increased continuously from the early phases of cell passage up through cell senescence. On the other hand, when RBCs were adsorbed to ConA-coated fibroblasts (fibroblast coating method), RBC adsorption did not occur throughout phase II and increased with the advance of phase III. [3H]ConA binding to fibroblasts, however, did not change with aging to the extent that could explain the observed changes in RBC adsorption. These age-related characteristics in RBC adsorption and [3H]ConA binding were also observed for WI38 and IMR-90 cells. In addition, SV40- and 60Co-transformed WI38 cells showed a close resemblance in their RBC adsorption capacity to early phase III cells.RBC adsorption with both the RBC and fibroblast coating methods was not a function of cell cycle phase and time spent in culture (metabolic time). Co-culturing of young cells with old or transformed cells did not affect the RBC adsorption capacity of respective cells. These results suggest that RBC adsorption with the RBC and fibroblast coating methods may represent cell surface markers for division age and senescence of aging human diploid cells. 相似文献

Uptake of iron from transferrin by isolated hepatocytes 总被引:3,自引:0,他引:3
Isolated rat hepatocytes containing 0.56-1.79 micrograms iron/10(6) cells and with an intracellular ATP concentration of 3-4 mM, accumulate iron from transferrin linearly with time for at least 3 h. At 37 degrees C the rate of uptake amounts to 0.3-0.7 pmol/mg cell protein per min. The uptake reaches a saturation level of 21-40 pmol/mg cell protein per h at 2.2 microM iron. At 5 degrees C the uptake does not increase over the time of incubation. Uptake of iron, but not binding of transferrin is increased 4-5-fold at oxygen concentrations 10-20 microM. At oxygen concentrations beyond these limits iron uptake is decreased. Iron taken up at low oxygen concentrations can be chelated by bathophenanthroline and bathophenanthroline disulphonate , but only if the chelators are present during the uptake experiments. The results suggest that iron uptake from transferrin by hepatocytes in suspension involves reductive removal of iron. 相似文献

The effect of cytochalasin B (CB) on insulin binding has been investigated in confluent cultures of chick embryo fibroblasts. Time- and dose-dependent increases in binding of [125I]insulin was observed after incubation of fibroblasts with CB. At 10 μg/ml, CB caused a 2-fold increase in binding, due to an increase in the number of binding sites from 9.3 × 103 to 2.0 × 104 per cell. Removal of CB from the growth medium was accompanied by a decrease in [125I]insulin binding to control values in 24 h. Increase in the binding of insulin in CB-treated CEF was also accompanied by enhancement of insulin to stimulation of [3H]thymidine incorporation into acid-insoluble material. CB treatment also caused disorganization and disappearance of microfilament bundles and changes in cell shape from flat, with a few blebs and folds on the cell surface, to round with numerous blebs and folds. The data from this study suggest that changes in the number of surface insulin-binding sites may be related to the state of organization of cytoskeletal structures in chick embryo fibroblasts. 相似文献

Protective effect of taurine on the detachment of cultured cardiac fibroblasts from the substratum induced by calcium depletion 总被引:1,自引:0,他引:1
Summary. Removal of Ca2+ from the incubation medium of cultured rat cardiac fibroblasts causes cellular morphological changes, such as the formation of blebs, the ballooning of the cell membrane and the detachment from the culture dish. A 24hr preincubation with 20mM taurine blocked the Ca2+ depletion-induced detachment of the cardiac fibroblasts. However, taurine treatment did not prevent other morphological changes induced by Ca2+ depletion. The data suggest that taurine plays an important role in cell adhesion in the heart. 相似文献

The temperature dependence of uptake of [3H]dexamethasone by rat thymocytes in suspension and of the intracellular distribution of the bound hormone was studied as a function of time of incubation. The transport of [3H]dexamethasone was found to obey a simple solubility-diffusion mechanism. The permeability coefficient for glucocorticoid transport corresponded to values reported for other nonelectrolytes of a similar size through biological membranes. At temperatures ranging from 0 to 42 °C, the permeability coefficient increased with temperature and no maximum was observed. However, the maximum cellular uptake of the hormone varied depending on the temperature and time of incubation. Maximal uptake of [3H]dexamethasone was observed at 30 min when the reaction mixture was incubated at 30 °C; when incubated at 20 °C, maximum uptake of [3H]dexamethasone was observed at 3 h. These data were interpreted to mean that there was competition between two temperature-dependent processes, namely steroid transport and inactivation of intracellular binding sites. Intracellular hormone was observed to bind to specific sites as well as to nonspecific, presumably membranal sites. Two independent methods, one of which is based on a linear plot of uptake versus extracellular hormone concentration, gave similar values for the amount of specifically bound hormone, estimated to be 3300 molecules per cell. The binding results are in accord with the sequence of events previously proposed for the interaction of glucocorticoids with thymocytes. These events include nonspecific uptake, specific cytoplasmic binding, a highly temperature-dependent translocation into the nucleus, intranuclear binding, as well as receptor inactivation and regeneration. The amount of intracellular bound hormone and its distribution between the cytoplasmic and nuclear fractions showed no equilibrium or steady-state phenomenon throughout extended periods of incubation up to 28 h. The experiments verified kinetic equations which predicted maximum nuclear binding of the hormone at a given time, followed by an appreciable and progressive reduction in the binding of the hormone to cytoplasmic and nuclear fractions. 相似文献

This study was carried out to investigate whether zinc can potentiate renal toxicity using monolayer cultures of kidney proximal tubular cells and if so to establish the chemical species and the mechanism involved.MethodsZinc was prepared as the citrate complex at pH 7.4 in phosphate buffered saline. Monolayers of kidney proximal tubular cells under standard cell culture conditions were exposed to zinc concentrations of 0, 5 10, 20, 50 and 100 μmol/L. To assess cellular damage, thiazol blue (MTT) uptake, NAG and LDH release, DAPI staining and Tunel assay were used. Cytoprotective agents: trolox, cysteine, glutathione, ascorbic acid and sodium selenite were used to investigate if the damage was reversible.ResultsIncubation of kidney cells with zinc citrate showed a dose related reduction in cell viability (p < 0.005) associated with cellular uptake of zinc ions. After 24 h incubation with 100 μmol/L Zn citrate, NAG release was not significantly different compared to the control whereas LDH increased 3 fold. DAPI staining showed apoptotic bodies within the cells confirmed by Tunel assay using flow cytometry. Electron microscopy showed significant morphological changes including loss of brush border, vacuolated cytoplasm and condensed nuclei. Trolox almost completely (>85 ± 5%) and sodium selenite partially recovered (40 ± 4%) the viability of cells exposed to Zn but no protection was observed with other cytoprotectants, e.g. glutathione, cysteine or ascorbic acid.In conclusion zinc can induce damage to kidney cells by a mechanism dependent on zinc ions entering the cell, binding to the cell organelles and disrupting cellular processes rather than damage initiated by free radical and ROS production. 相似文献

ABSTRACT. The yield of the bacterium Enterobacter aerogenes and the ciliate Colpidium colpoda was dependent on initial phosphorus concentrations in batch cultures containing 125 or 250 mg/liter glutamate and 50–1000 μg/liter phosphorus. For both, yield per unit phosphorus declined at higher phosphorus concentrations. A marked decline in growth rate in bacterial cultures was coincident with the depletion of dissolved phosphorus and the development of rapid orthophosphate turnover times. Colpidium introduced to these cultures consumed about 16,000 bacteria/h/ciliate while multiplying exponentially and relieved phosphorus limitation, as indicated by a longer turnover-time for phosphate. The longer turnover-time was due to the reduction of bacterial numbers; in cultures with ciliates, bacteria appear to be more active in taking up phosphate, and much of the total phosphorus accumulates in ciliates. Ciliates released both inorganic and organic phosphorus, but the organic phosphorus did not accumulate to excess in the cultures to an extent that would indicate that it is less used by bacteria. Although ciliates release enough phosphorus to account for ca. 20% of the bacterial uptake, ciliates appear to behave as phosphorus sinks as much as phosphorus recyclers in these closed systems. 相似文献

This paper describes a mechanism for degradation of low-density lipoprotein (LDL) in fibroblasts unable to synthesize the LDL receptor. In this cell line, long-chain free fatty acids (FFA) activated 125I-LDL uptake; unsaturated FFA were the most efficient. The first step of this pathway was the binding of LDL apoB to a single class of sites on the plasma membrane and was reversible in the presence of greater than or equal to 10 mM suramin. Binding equilibrium was achieved after a 60-90-min incubation at 37 degrees C with 1 mM oleate; under these conditions, the apparent Kd for 125I-LDL binding was 12.3 micrograms/mL. Both cholesterol-rich (LDL and beta-VLDL) and triglyceride-rich (VLDL) lipoproteins, but not apoE-free HDL, efficiently competed with 125I-LDL for this FFA-induced binding site. After LDL bound to the cell surface, they were internalized and delivered to lysosomes; chloroquine inhibited subsequent proteolysis of LDL and thereby increased the cellular content of the particles. A physiological oleate to albumin molar ratio, i.e., 1:1 (25 microM oleate and 2 mg/mL albumin), was sufficient to significantly (p less than 0.01) activate all three steps of this alternate pathway: for example, 644 +/- 217 (25 microM oleate) versus 33 +/- 57 (no oleate) ng of LDL/mg of cell protein was degraded after incubation (2 h, 37 degrees C) with 50 micrograms/mL 125I-LDL. We speculate that this pathway could contribute to the clearance of both chylomicron remnants and LDL. 相似文献

Zinc and lead biosorption by living non-growing filamentous fungus Paecilomyces marquandii was examined for its potential application in heavy metals elimination from contaminated areas. Metal uptake by the studied fungus was pH dependent and reached the level of 308 mg of Zn2+ g−1 and 505 mg of Pb2+ g−1 at pH of 7.5 caused by microprecipitation in slightly alkaline environment. All other metal studies were cultivated with unregulated pH yielding the maximum of 186.2 mg of Zn2+ g−1 and 305.8 mg of Pb2+ g−1. Interestingly, zinc binding by mycelium increased intensively after 15 h of incubation, whereas the lead concentration in biomass extended gradually and proportionally to the initial concentration and the time of contact. The study showed that thermal pretreatment of mycelium led to a decline in metal uptake, especially in the case of zinc. The mycelium slightly digested by the cell wall lytic enzyme complex, could adsorb lead twice as well after 2 h of exposure whereas zinc loading did not differ from the metal uptake by mycelia without any digestion procedure. The release of potassium ions from the mycelium, concomitant with lead uptake was observed suggesting ion exchange participation in lead binding. Energy-dispersive X-ray analysis, X-ray diffraction and FTIR spectroscopy revealed the presence of both metals hydrocarbonates on the mycelium surface. Additionally, the contribution of carboxyl and amide groups, originating from the mycelium, in metal binding was confirmed by FTIR analysis.The obtained results suggest that the effective metals uptake by P. marquandii was due to a combined mechanism with a dominant role of metabolism dependent microprecipitation. 相似文献

Trypsinized normal rat embryo fibroblasts and untrypsinized and trypsinized transformed rat fibroblasts have two orders of binding sites for bacterial glycolipid mR595. The high order sites fix 1–3 μg glycolipid mR595/105 cells and those of the low order fix about 6 μg glycolipid mR595/106 cells. Ca++ is required for the low order glycolipid mR595 binding to be trypsinized but not to the untrypsinized transformed rat fibroblasts. The low order binding but not to the untrypsinized transformed rat fibroblasts. The low order binding is temperature dependent with the transition temperature lying between 25 and 37°C. Exogenously added ganglioside and glycoproteins contained in the fetal calf serum do not inhibit fixation of glycolipid mR595. Only β-lipoprotein at high concentrations is slightly inhibitory. Glycolipid mR595 fixation to transformed fibroblast does not alter their morphology and appears to slightly improve cell attachment to substratum. Glycolipid mR595 fixation results in a lengthening of the S-phase of the cell cycle and a reduction in 2-deoxyglucose uptake. Uptake of inorganic phosphate is not affected. Inhibition of phospholipid synthesis is observed in mR595 fixed fibroblasts whereas synthesis of cell surface glycoproteins and the content of cellular gangliosides is not affected. 相似文献
