Summary The effects have been analyzed of cytochalasin B and colchicine on the secretion of glycoconjugates by human bronchial expiants labeled in vitro with radioactive glucosamine. Both cytochalasin B and colchicine had no effect on baseline 14C-labeled glycoconjugate release but caused a dose-dependent (10–7–10–4 M) inhibition of 14C-glycoconjugate release and discharge of labeled macromolecules from mucous and serous cells induced by 5 · 10–5 M methacholine.Quantitative autoradiographic analyses showed that neither cytochalasin B nor colchicine inhibited 3H-threonine or 3H-glucosamine incorporation into mucous and serous cells of the submucosal glands or goblet cells of the airway epithelium. Colchicine (10–5 M) but not cytochalasin B significantly reduced the rate at which labeled macromolecules were transported through mucous, serous and goblet cells but this effect was not observed until 4 h after the addition of colchicine. Neither cytochalasin B nor colchicine affected the basal rate of labeled-macromolecule discharge from mucous, serous or goblet cells. At a concentration of 10–5 M, both agents completely inhibited the increase in labeled-macromolecule discharge induced in mucous and serous cells by methacholine.Our results suggest that in the submucosal gland of human airways microtubules and microfilaments may be important in secretagogue-induced but not in baseline cellular glycoconjugate discharge, implying that the mechanisms of the two processes differ significantly. Furthermore, a role for microtubules is suggested in the transport of secretory granules through mucous, serous and goblet cells.Supported by National Institutes of Health Research Grant 5R01HL22444.

Addition of dibutyryl cyclic AMP or parathyroid hormone to bone organ cultures markedly increased the incorporation of 3H-glucosamine into non-dialyzable macromolecules. Other cyclic nucleotides or their dibutyryl derivatives did not stimulate glucosamine incorporation. DEAE-cellulose chromatography of the papain-digested calvaria and culture medium resolved the labeled material into four peaks. A four-fold increase in radioactivity was observed in peak III. Previous studies of peak III have identified the labeled material as hyaluronic acid. The results suggest that the parathyroid hormone stimulated increase in glucosamine incorporation is mediated via the adenylate cyclase-cyclic AMP system, and that the increased amount of radioactivity is due to an increased amount of hyaluronic acid. Turnover studied of the labeled material suggest that the release of proteoglycans into the culture medium is not inhibited in the cultures treated with dibutyryl cyclic AMP. The role of hyaluronate in this experimental system remains to be elucidated. 相似文献

The composition of the fast and slow components of axonal transport in the goldfish optic nerve was investigated, using specific radioactive precursors injected into the eye. Tritiated glucosamine and fucose label macromolecules, presumably glycoproteins, which are rapidly transported from the eye to the optic tectum. Material labeled with these precursors is not evident in the slowly transported component. Glucosamine and fucose incorporation are blocked when a protein synthesis inhibitor, acetoxycycloheximide, is injected into the eye concurrently with the precursors. As well as labeling macromolecules, 3H-glucosamine and 3H-N-acetylmannosamine ( a precursor of sialic acids) also label rapidly-transported chloroform-methanol-extractable material which may contain transported glycolipids. Two procedures were used to show that the slow component of axonal transport contains tubulin, a protein characteristic of the microtubules:
- (a) Tracer doses of tritiated colchicine injected into the eye label a wave of radioactivity which moves 0.5 mm/day, the rate of slow axonal transport in the goldfish optic nerve. We believe this wave represents the movement of colchicine which is bound to colchicine-binding protein moving in the slow component of axonal transport.
- (b) Tritiated proline labels a slowly transported protein which is precipitated by vinblastine and has a mobility on polyacrylamide gels comparable to authentic tubulin. These results indicate that the fast and slow components of axonal transport each provide specific chemical substances to the nerve endings.

Summary Radioautographic and scintillation counting procedures were used to examine the effect of parathyroid hormone (PTH), dibutyryl cyclic-AMP (DB-cAMP), and colchicine on the incorporation of 3H-fucose into macromolecular material in organ cultures of bone. Radioautography demonstrated 3H-fucose incorporation into bone cells, with the heaviest uptake occurring in osteoclasts. A minimal incorporation occurred in pre-osteoblasts and osteoblasts of the osteogenic periosteum, and in fibroblasts of the fibrous periosteum. PTH appeared to produce a heavier label in association with osteoclasts while decreasing the limited labeling associated with cells of the osteogenic and fibrous periosteum. DB-cAMP and colchicine both markedly reduced the labeling associated with osteoclasts, while the minimal labeling of other bone cells remained. By contrast, scintillation counting results indicated that PTH had little or no effect on 3H-fucose incorporation, while DB-cAMP and colchicine considerably reduced the amount of labeled macromolecular material. The incorporation of 3H-fucose into glycoproteins and the role of glycoproteins are discussed.This investigation was aided by grants from the Orthopaedic Research and Education Foundation and the Minnesota Medical Foundation.

Acid mucopolysaccharide synthesis in the secondary palate of the developing rat at the time of rotation and fusion 总被引:5,自引:0,他引:5
The amount of hexosamines and acid mucopolysaccharides present in the rat secondary palate increases during the critical stages of palatogenesis, namely, rotation and fusion. The synthesis of acid mucopolysaccharides in vivo and in vitro in the palate was determined by the incorporation of 3H-glucosamine and Na2S35O4. The labeled mucopolysaccharides were isolated by DEAE-cellulose chromatography and were identified on the basis of several criteria as hyaluronic acid and sulfated acid mucopolysaccharides. Hyaluronic acid accounted for approximately 60% of the total acid mucopolysaccharides synthesized in the palate both in vivo and in vitro. DON (6-diazo-5-oxonorleucine), a known inhibitor of acid mucopolysaccharide synthesis, inhibited the incorporation of 3H-glucosamine and Na2S35O4 by palatal shelves in vitro by 70%. 相似文献

Human-embryo fibroblasts were synchronized by means of colchicine and cytochalasin, and the production of hyaluronate was determined by [3H]glucosamine incorporation and ion-exchange chromatography. Cells arrested by colchicine synthesized small amounts of hyaluronate, whereas cells blocked by cytochalasin were stimulated in hyaluronate production. When the colchicine block was released, there was an increased synthesis of hyaluronate, which appeared first in the cellular fraction and was then shed into the culture medium. After release of the cytochalasin block, the hyaluronate production declined to that found with unsynchronized cells. A comparable increase of hyaluronate synthase activity was observed during mitosis. When hyaluronate synthesis was blocked by periodate-oxidized UDP-glucuronic acid, the cells were arrested in mitosis before rounding of cells. These results suggest that hyaluronate synthesis is required for detachment and rounding of cells during mitosis. 相似文献

The effect of tunicamycin (TM) on the synthesis and secretion of sulfated proteoglycans and hyaluronate was examined in chick embryo fibroblasts and chondrocytes. The incorporation of the precursors [3H]glucosamine, [3H]mannose and [35S]sulfate into glycoconjugates in both the cell layer and medium of cultures was determined. In the chick embryo fibroblast, but not in the chondrocyte, synthesis of sulfated proteoglycan was inhibited 60–75% by TM (5 × 10−8 M), while synthesis of hyaluronate and protein was only inhibited slightly. The inhibition of sulfate incorporation into glycosaminoglycans of the chick embryo fibroblast was overcome to a great extent by addition of β-xyloside, which provides an exogenous initiator for chondroitin sulfate synthesis. TM treatment also altered cell shape and surface morphology in chick embryo fibroblasts, as observed by phase contrast and scanning electron microscopy (SEM). Cells treated with TM became rounded, and increased numbers of microvilli and blebs appeared on the cell surface. These alterations in cell morphology were reversed by removal of TM, but not by exogenous addition of xyloside, chondroitin sulfate or the adhesive cell surface glycoprotein fibronectin. These results demonstrate that TM inhibits synthesis of sulfated proteoglycans in the chick embryo fibroblast and causes a dramatic alteration in cell shape and surface morphology. 相似文献

Triacylglycerol secretion in very low density lipoproteins by isolated rat liver parenchymal cells 总被引:4,自引:0,他引:4
R Sundler B Akesson A Nilsson 《Biochemical and biophysical research communications》1973,55(3):961-968
Enzymatically isolated rat liver parenchymal cells secreted labeled triacylglycerols when incubated with [3H]glycerol or [3H]oleic acid. The presence of albumin or serum did not affect the secretion, but it was strongly inhibited by cycloheximide, colchicine, EDTA and by incubating at 4°C instead of at 37°C. Analyses of incubation media by agarose gel electrophoresis and by ultracentrifugation showed that the labeled triacylglycerols were in particles with the properties of very low density lipoproteins. 相似文献

The in vitro effect of colchicine or monensin upon sulfatide delivery from microsomes and perikarya of oligodendroglial cells and its further incorporation into myelin was studied using brain slices obtained from 18-day-old rats incubated during 20 min with [35S]sulfuric acid and reincubated for different times with unlabeled precursor. Labeled sulfatides were measured in a total homogenate, myelin, microsomes and perikarya of oligodendroglial cells. Neither colchicine nor monensin depressed the incorporation of [35S]sulfate into sulfatides of the total homogenate. However, these drugs inhibited by 50% the incorporation of labeled sulfatides into myelin. Furthermore, while the specific radioactivity present in microsomes and perikarya of oligodendroglial cells isolated from controls at 120 min decreased to about 40% of the value at 20 min, no decrease was observed in fractions obtained from slices incubated with colchicine or monensin. Similar results were obtained when the slices were incubated in “Ca2+ free” medium. The perturbed delivery of [35S]sulfatides from microsomes and perikarya of oligodendroglial cells and the diminished incorporation into myelin, in the presence of monensin and colchicine, are consistent with a possible involvement of the Golgi complex and of the cytoplasmic microtubules in the transport of sulfatides towards myelin. Moreover, the transport of these galactolipids appears to require calcium. 相似文献

Rats were injected with colchicine and the secretion of triglycerides into the serum was studied for 90 min after injection of [14C]palmitic acid and Triton WR 1339. The release of labeled and chemically determined triglyceride was reduced to about 20–30% of control values. The effect of colchicine on serum triglyceride levels was not dependent on the presence of Triton and was similar in males and females and in fed and fasted rats. The effect was dose dependent and was reversible 6–7 h after injection of 0.05 mg/100 g body weight. Colchicine inhibited also the release of labeled proteins into the serum but did not affect the amount of [3H]leucine incorporated into liver proteins. Within 4 h of colchicine treatment there was an 80% fall in serum very low density lipoproteins (VLDL), a 30% fall in serum high density lipoproteins (HDL), and no change in the d > 1.21 protein level, but reduction in the appearance of labeled proteins was encountered in all serum fractions. Colchicine had no effect on the rate of bile flow and on the secretion of phospholipids and cholesterol into the bile. In the hepatocyte there was accumulation of Golgi-derived secretory vesicles, containing nascent VLDL particles; these vesicles were seen also in the vicinity of the sinusoidal cell surface, but the space of Disse contained few or no VLDL particles. There was an apparent reduction in microtubules and some increase in microfilaments. It is suggested that microtubules affect the secretion of lipoproteins and proteins into the serum by maintaining the organization of the plasma membrane required for its fusion with secretory vesicles. The lack of effect of colchicine on biliary lipid secretion indicates that the latter is not dependent on vesicular transport. 相似文献

The effects of some local anesthetics on plasma protein secretion by rat liver slices have been studied and have been compared with those of colchicine. Rat liver slices were pulse-labelled with l-[14C]leucine for 9 min at 37°C, collected on filter paper, washed with non-radioactive leucine and reincubated in the presence or absence of the drug to be tested. The radioactive plasma proteins produced were obtained by immunoprecipitation from either the chase medium or from the washed slices. Chlorpomazine, (3 · 10?5 M), dibucaine (10?5 M), lidocaine (10?3 M) and procaine (5 · 10?5 M) inhibited both the synthesis and secretion of plasma protein but did not affect the uptake of l-leucine into the slices nor the incorporation of phosphate into intracellular nucleotide phosphates or into phopholipids. The inhibition of secretion elicited by these drugs is probably not due to the inhibition of protein synthesis since cycloheximide, when added to the chase medium at a concentration which completely inhibits protein synthesis, did not inhibit plasma protein secretion, while cycloheximide plus procaine did inhibit secretion and also caused a retention of non-secreted plasma proteins within the slices. Unlike colchicine, howover, procaine did not cause the retained plasma proteins to accumulate in Goli-derived secretory vesicles, but showed a more general effect causing a distribution among several cell fractions. 相似文献

Matrix-free chick embryo tendon cells were incubated with [14C]-proline in the presence of various aminoacid analogues and the effects of the analogues on [14C]-proline incorporation, [14C]-hydroxyproline synthesis and secretion of labeled molecules were examined. It was found that the structural lysine analogue S-2-aminoethylcysteine was a potent inhibitor of procollagen synthesis and secretion. At a concentration of 1 mM it produced a 75% decrease in [14C]-hydroxyproline synthesis and a 90% decrease in the secretion of [14C]-hydroxyproline-containing macromolecules. 相似文献

The pathways for cytosolic Ca++ increase under A23187 stimulation of H+ secretion were studied in the isolated gastric mucosa of the toad . A23187 produced a more potent stimulation of secretion when added to the mucosal side which did not contain calcium. Measurements of ionophore incorporation by fluorometric methods indicated that A23187 incorporates into oxyntic cells intracellularly. The presence of divalent cations inhibited incorporation. This may be the reason for a more potent action when A23187 was added from the mucosal side. With-drawal of calcium from serosal solution largely inhibited the secretory response to A23187 added to the mucosal side. Reintroduction of calcium into the serosal side in the presence of ionophore elicited H+ secretion. The results are consistent with an uptake of A23187 from the mucosal side into cellular organelles and basolateral membranes. Calcium entry through the serosal side may be responsible for triggering secretion. Although A23187 likely releases calcium from intracellular stores, its rate of release may not be sufficient to bring about a full stimulation of secretion in serosal-Ca++-free conditions. 相似文献

The effects of phenobarbital on protein and glycoprotein synthesis and secretion were studied in rat liver slices. Phenobarbital (2 mM) decreased [14C]-glucosamine and [14C]leucine incorporation into liver proteins and markedly inhibited their incorporation into medium (secretory) proteins. This inhibitory effect of phenobarbital was dose dependent and not reversible under the conditions of this study. In the presence of cycloheximide, an inhibitor of peptide synthesis, phenobarbital still inhibited the release of glycoproteins into the medium; however, the specific activity of liver glycoproteins was increased. The effects of phenobarbital on hepatic macromolecular secretion, independent of its effects on synthesis, were determined by prelabeling proteins in a liver slice system with either [14C]leucine of [14C]glucosamine. When phenobarbital was present, the secretion of these prelabeled proteins into the medium was impaired. 12 h after intraperitoneal injections of phenobarbital, glycoprotein secretion was inhibited from liver slices prepared from the pretreated rats. This inhibition of secretion occurred even though protein synthesis was stimulated and intracellular glycosylations unaffected. The results of this study indicate that phenobarbital impairs the secretion of glycoproteins by the liver. 相似文献

Growth and differentiation of primary tracheal epithelial cells in culture: regulation by extracellular calcium 总被引:2,自引:0,他引:2
Growth and differentiation of primary monkey tracheal epithelial (MTE) cells maintained on collagen gel substrata were studied in a defined serum-free culture medium containing 0.03 to 3.0 mM extracellular calcium. Cell attachment efficiency (40-60%) was not altered by different calcium levels. Growth of primary MTE cells on collagen gel substrata, which was vitamin A dependent, was enhanced 50% in the medium supplemented with high calcium (greater than 0.3 mM). High calcium medium also increased cell-cell interactions, formation of desmosomes, and multi-cell layering. The relative content of mucous cells, which were identified by a mucin-specific monoclonal antibody and the presence of mucus-secreting granules at the ultrastructural level, was greater in the high-calcium medium. Furthermore, the secretion of mucin into the medium, determined either by an ELISA or by the incorporation of 3H-glucosamine into mucous glycoprotein fractions, was also increased more than 5-fold in media containing high calcium content (greater than 0.6 mM). In contrast, MTE cells cultured in low calcium medium (less than 0.15 mM) were squamous-like with prominent tonofilaments, and their secretory product was mainly hyaluronate. These results demonstrate that media containing a high calcium content promote conducting airway epithelium to express mucous cell differentiation, while media with low calcium content promote squamous cell differentiation. 相似文献

We studied the influence of hydrocortisone (HC) on hyaluronan (HA) metabolism in explants of human skin, a model retaining normal three-dimensional architecture of dermal connective tissue and dynamic growth and stratification of epidermal keratinocytes. The synthesis of hyaluronan and proteoglycans (PGs), and DNA, were determined with 3H-glucosamine and 3H-thymidine labelings, respectively. The total content and histological distribution of hyaluronan was studied utilizing a biotinylated aggrecan-link protein complex. A low concentration of HC (10?9 M) stimulated the incorporation of 3H-glucosamine into hyaluronan in epidermis by 23% and reduced the disappearance rate of hyaluronan by 25% in chase experiments, resulting in a 74% increase in total hyaluronan (per epidermal dry weight) after a 5-day culture in 10?9 M HC. On the other hand, a high concentration of HC (10?5 M) reduced both synthesis (-42%) and degradation (-46%) of epidermal hyaluronan during 24 h labeling and chase periods. The cumulative effect of a 5-day treatment was a 24% decrease of total epidermal hyaluronan. The high dose (10?5 M) also reduced keratinocyte DNA synthesis and epidermal thickness. In dermis, only the high (10?5 M) concentration of HC was effective, inhibiting the incorporation of 3H-glucosamine into hyaluronan by 28%. No significant influences on total hyaluronan content or the disappearance rate of hyaluronan in dermal tissue was found. All HC concentrations lacked significant effects on newly synthesized PGs in epidermal and dermal tissues, but reduced the labeled PGs diffusing into culture medium. A low physiological concentration of HC thus maintains active synthesis and high concentration of hyaluronan in epidermal tissue, while high pharmacological doses of HC slows hyaluronan turnover and reduces its content in epidermis, an effect correlated with enhanced terminal differentiation, reduced proliferation rate and reduced number of vital keratinocyte layers. © 1995 Wiley-Liss, Inc. 相似文献

To investigate the regulatory interactions of amino acid transport and incorporation, we determined the effects of dipeptides on amino acid uptake by bacteria in an estuary and a freshwater lake. Dipeptides noncompetitively inhibited net transport and incorporation of amino acids into macromolecules but had no effect on the ratio of respiration to incorporation. Nearly maximum inhibition occurred at peptide concentrations of <10 nM. In contrast, the initial uptake rate of glycyl-[14C]phenylalanine was not affected by glycine or phenylalanine. Net amino acid transport appeared to be inhibited by the increased flux into the intracellular pools, whereas the incorporation of labeled monomers into macromolecules was isotopically diluted by the unlabeled amino acids resulting from intracellular hydrolysis of the dipeptide. Chloramphenicol, sodium azide, and dinitrophenol all inhibited the initial uptake rate of leucine and phenylalanine. These results suggest that in aquatic environments amino acids are taken up by active transport which is coupled closely to protein synthesis. 相似文献

Increasing the extracellular calcium concentration in thymic lymphocyte suspension from 0.6 to 1.8 mM stimulated the proliferation of the lymphoblast subpopulation as measured by increases in the proportion of cells autoradiographically labeled with 3H-TdR and in mitotic activity. However it was not possible to show this increased DNA synthesis by scintillometric measurement of the amount of 3H-TdR incorporated into extracted DNA. On the other hand, calcium did raise the incorporation of 14C-formate into the thymine residues of DNA, and increased the activity of isolated thymocyte thymidylate synthetase. In contrast to the mitogenic calcium ion, a thymidylate synthetase inhibitor, methotrexate, actually increased the incorporation of 3H-TdR into DNA. It is concluded that calcium increases the endogenous synthesis of thymidylate which in turn prevents the amount of incorporation of exogenous 3H-TdR from accurately reflecting the true level of DNA synthesis. 相似文献

Soybean cells in suspension culture incorporate [3H]mannose into dolichyl-phosphoryl-mannose and into lipid-linked oligosaccharides as well as into extracellular and cell wall macromolecules. Tunicamycin completely inhibited the formation of lipid-linked oligosaccharides at a concentration of 5 to 10 micrograms per milliliter, but it had no effect on the formation of dolichyl-phosphoryl-mannose. Tunicamycin did inhibit the incorporation of [3H]mannose into cell wall components and extracellular macromolecules, but even at 20 micrograms per milliliter of antibiotic there was still about 30% incorporation of mannose. The radioactivity in these macromolecules was localized in mannose (70%), rhamnose (20%), galactose (8%), and fucose (2%) in the absence of antibiotic. But when tunicamycin was added, very little radioactive mannose was found in cell wall or extracellular components. The incorporation of [3H]leucine into membrane components and [14C]proline into cell wall components by these suspension cultures was unaffected by tunicamycin. However, tunicamycin did inhibit the appearance of leucine-labeled extracellular macromolecules, probably because it prevented their secretion. 相似文献

The incorporation of 3H-glucosamine, 3H-choline and 14C-fucose into subcellular fractions of MPC-11 cells was studied. After a 20 min period of labelling with both 3H-glucosamine and 3H-choline, greatest incorporation was observed in nuclear-associated endoplasmic reticulum (NER). 14C-fucose, however, was incorporated to a greater extent in endoplasmic reticulum (ER) membranes. Pulse-chase experiments with 3H-glucosamine showed a loss of radioactivity from NER and a simultaneous increase in the ER fraction. In comparison to NER, ER membranes were poorly labeled with 3H-glucosamine after a 20 min pulse. Following a 2 h incubation there was a 12 fold increase in radioactivity in ER membranes in comparison to a 1.2 fold increase in NER. There were no individual differences between subfractions of ER membranes with respect to 3H-glucosamine content after the pulse, or following the 2 h incubation. The results indicate that the NER is a major, early site of the synthesis of 3H-glucosamine labeled membrane glycoproteins, and that these proteins migrate into other ER membranes early after their synthesis. 相似文献
