Partial hepatectomy of rats was followed by a rise in liver sialyltransferase activity. The maximum (2.5-fold increase) was reached on the third day after the operation, after which the level started to decline, returning to normal by day 6. Determination of serum sialyltransferase in these animals showed a parallel pattern. Daily injection of 5 mg hydrocortisone to adrenalectomized rats led to a maximal 3-fold elevation in liver sialyltransferase within 3 days, but failed to elicit any changes in the corresponding enzyme in the serum. Results from these two experiments suggest that the elevations of sialyltrasferase in the tissue and in the circulation are independently regulated. 相似文献

Induction of inflammation by turpentine injection caused 1.5-2-fold increase of both sialyl- and galactosyltransferase activity in liver homogenates. The effect was apparent after 12 h of turpentine treatment. Serum sialyltransferase activity started to increase in the inflamed rats after 18 h, reaching a maximum of 4-fold at 48 h. In contrast, galactosyltransferase activity in serum showed no significant increase. The coordinated and temporal increase of sialyltransferase activity in liver and serum suggest involvement of a specific mechanism for the preferential release of this enzyme into serum. 相似文献

A modified high pressure liquid chromatographic method using lactose (Gal beta 1----4Glc) as an exogenous acceptor has been used to characterize the sialyltransferases known to increase in the serum of colchicine-treated rats. The results show a 10-fold increase of Gal beta 1----4GlcNAc alpha 2----6 sialyltransferase (alpha 2----6 ST), whereas the Gal beta 1----3GlcNAc alpha 2----3 sialyltransferase showed only 1.6-fold increase in the serum after 17 h of colchicine treatment. The sialyltransferase activity in serum using exogenous desialylated, alpha 1-acid glycoprotein as acceptor also showed an eightfold increase. In liver homogenate and Golgi membrane, the sialyltransferase activity when assayed with desialylated alpha 1-acid glycoprotein as acceptor showed a slight decrease after 4 h, but returned to normal level after 17 h. A similar trend was seen when the two transferases were assayed with lactose as acceptor. The antiserum to rat alpha 2----6 ST inhibited the sialyltransferase activity in serum, liver, and jejunal incubation medium. Jejunal sections from rats treated with colchicine for 4 h in presence of heated serum showed a decrease of sialyltransferase, with consequent increase of the alpha 2----6 ST enzyme activity in the medium. This result suggests that intestinal tissue could be a source of increased serum enzyme activity in colchicine treatment. 相似文献

The effect of inflammation on sialyltransferase was studied in the mouse and guinea pig. There was a three-fold increase in mouse liver sialyltransferase activity reaching a maximum at 72 hr after inflammation; serum levels were increased by five-fold at 72 hr after inflammation. The response of guinea pig sialyltransferase was slower and of lower magnitude compared with the response of the mouse enzyme; liver and serum sialyltransferase increased by about 50% reaching a maximum at 96 hr after inflammation. The specificity of the enzyme that responded to inflammation in the mouse and guinea pig was found to be Gal beta 1----4GlcNAc alpha 2----6 sialyltransferase, the same enzyme activity that was shown to be an acute phase reactant in earlier studies in the rat (Kaplan et al., 1983). 相似文献

Liver slices from control and inflamed rats were incubated in McCoy's medium and incorporation of [3H]leucine into liver and medium proteins and into albumin and alpha 1-acid glycoprotein was monitored over 48 hr. The release of the new acute phase reactant, sialyltransferase was also monitored in this system. Earlier observations in which liver slices were incubated for 6 hr showed that increased leucine incorporation into liver and medium proteins and alpha 1-acid glycoprotein, coupled with decreased incorporation into albumin, correlated with the acute phase response of these proteins. Increased incorporation of leucine into these proteins was found following 48 hr incubation in McCoy's medium showing that slices were able to express the changes characteristic of the acute phase response over this longer time period of incubation. Sialyltransferase was released into medium in a linear fashion up to 15 hr and continued to increase for 30 hr in this system; there was a substantial increase in release of enzyme activity from slices from inflamed rats when compared to controls. Monokine-conditioned medium prepared from peritoneal exudate cells isolated from rats at various times after lipopolysaccharide administration was used to induce the acute phase response by intraperitoneal injection. Slices were prepared from these rats and sialyltransferase release from slices was monitored. Monokines prepared from peritoneal exudate cells isolated from rats at about 30 hr were most effective in stimulating sialyltransferase release from liver slices. 相似文献

Golgi-membrane-bound Gal beta 1-4GlcNAc alpha 2-6-sialyltransferase (CMP-N-acetylneuraminate:beta-galactoside alpha 2-6-sialyltransferase, EC 2.4.99.1) behaves as an acute-phase reactant increasing about 5-fold in serum in rats suffering from inflammation. The mechanism of release from the Golgi membrane is not understood. In the present study it was found that sialyltransferase could be released from the membrane by treatment with ultrasonic vibration (sonication) followed by incubation at reduced pH. Maximum release occurred at pH 5.6, and membranes from inflamed rats released more enzyme than did membranes from controls. Galactosyltransferase (UDP-galactose:N-acetylglucosamine galactosyltransferase; EC 2.4.1.38), another Golgi-located enzyme, which does not behave as an acute-phase reactant, remained bound to the membranes under the same conditions. Release of the alpha 2-6-sialyltransferase from Golgi membranes was substantially inhibited by pepstatin A, a potent inhibitor of cathepsin D-like proteinases. Inhibition of release of the sialyltransferase also occurred after preincubation of sonicated Golgi membranes with antiserum raised against rat liver lysosomal cathepsin D. Addition of bovine spleen cathepsin D to incubation mixtures of sonicated Golgi membranes caused enhanced release of the sialyltransferase. Intact Golgi membranes were incubated at lowered pH in presence of pepstatin A to inhibit any proteinase activity at the cytosolic face; subsequent sonication showed that the sialyltransferase had been released, suggesting that the proteinase was active at the luminal face of the Golgi. Golgi membranes contained a low level of cathepsin D activity (EC 3.4.23.5); the enzyme was mainly membrane-bound, since it could only be released by extraction with Triton X-100 or incubation of sonicated Golgi membranes with 5 mM-mannose 6-phosphate. Immunoblot analysis showed that the transferase released from sonicated Golgi membranes at lowered pH had an apparent Mr of about 42,000 compared with one of about 49,000 for the membrane-bound enzyme. Values of Km for the bound and released enzyme activities were comparable and were similar to values reported previously for liver and serum enzymes. The work suggests that a major portion of sialyltransferase containing the catalytic site is released from a membrane anchor by a cathepsin D-like proteinase located at the luminal face of the Golgi and that this explains the acute-phase behaviour of this enzyme. 相似文献

The molecular basis for the accumulation of a substance which displays the immunological reactivity of alpha-1-antitrypsin within vesicles of liver parenchymal cells of individuals with hepatic cirrhosis and serum alpha-1-antitrypsin deficiency remains unclear. We recently reported that serum from a patient with alpha-1-antitrypsin deficiency and hepatic cirrhosis was substantially deficient in sialyltransferease (EC 2.4.99.1) an enzyme which transfers sialic acid from cytidine 5'-monophosphate-N-acetylneuraminic acid to a variety of asialoglycoprotein acceptors. In the present report we have extended these studies to include serum from five additional patients with alpha-1-antitrypsin deficiency and juvenile hepatic cirrhosis as well as a liver specimen obtained at autopsy of one of these patients. We find the sialytransferase activity in serum from six patients with alpha-1-antitrypsin deficiency and hepatic cirrhosis to be 50% of healthy pediatric control values and 30% of pediatric patients with liver disease. However, serum from family members homozygous for alpha-1-antitrypsin deficiency but without hepatic cirrhosis, and serum from patients with a variety of other kinds of liver disease, failed to exhibit the marked sialytransferase deficiency. Similar assays carried out on a homogenate of a liver sample from one patient with alpha-1-antitrypsin deficiency and hepatic cirrhosis indicated that the deficiency of sialyltransferase activity was not demonstrable in liver. Furthermore, a comparative kinetic analysis of serum and liver sialytransferase in normal and afflicted individuals failed to detect differences in substrate affinities which might account for a decrease in functional sialyltransferase capacity in individuals with alpha-1-antitrypsin deficiency and hepatic cirrhosis. These observations suggest that the serum sialyltransferase deficiency in such patients probably arises after chronic and extensive liver disease involving hepatic accumulation of alpha-1-antitrypsin rather than the enzyme deficiency being the primary cause of the hepatic cirrhosis and alpha-1-antitrypsin deficiency. 相似文献

Novel modes of administering antioxidants to improve delivery to targeted tissues or cells may be advantageous in preventing oxidant-induced pathologies. Vitamin E (alpha-tocopherol) has been shown to be protective in several models of liver injury. The objectives of this study were: (1) to determine if subcutaneously (s.q.) administered emulsified vitamin E enriched liver and hepatic subcellular fractions with the antioxidant and (2) to carry out a time-dependent analysis of serum and tissue vitamin E in rats receiving daily s.q. vitamin E. In the first experiment rats injected daily s.q. with emulsified vitamin E for 9 d increased serum, total liver, liver mitochondria, and liver microsomes by 8-, 16-, 30-, and 29-fold, respectively, compared with placebo injections. Similar enrichment was observed after intramuscular injections. In the second experiment, daily doses of s.q. vitamin E increased liver concentrations 40-fold by 9 d, which decreased to 22-fold by 18 d, whereas serum adjusted vitamin E levels maximized with a 24-fold increase by day 3 and plateaued thereafter. In conclusion, s.q. administration of emulsified vitamin E to rats resulted in substantially elevated serum and liver concentrations of alpha-tocopherol compared with levels achievable by dietary supplementation. The s.q. route of administration is a potentially effective parenteral mode of delivery of vitamin E for conditions in which hepatic oxidative stress is present. 相似文献

Sialyltransferase activity was assayed in rat intestinal cells isolated as fractions reflecting the villus-crypt axis of differentiation. In 13-day-old rats both endo- and exogenous sialyltransferase activity reached their maximum in undifferentiated crypt cells and their peaks overlapped. In contrast, sialyltransferase of the adult intestine was 4-fold lower than that of sucklings in the crypts, with slight tendency to be transferred to the villus cells. Hydrocortisone applied to 10-day-old rats caused three days later a precocious drop of sialyltransferase activity in the crypt cells. Unlike in vivo, glucocorticoid responsiveness was accompanied by increased sialyltransferase activity in fetal small intestine cultivated for 17 days. 相似文献

本研究旨在研究染料木黄酮(Genistein,Gen)对大鼠体内N-羟乙酰神经氨酸(N-glycolylneuraminic acid,Neu5Gc)生物合成的影响。选取80只4周龄SD雄性大鼠,随机平均分为对照组和Gen组,分别灌胃5%的乙醇溶液和300 mg/(kg·d)的Gen溶液。利用荧光高效液相色谱(HPLC-FLD)检测大鼠后腿肌肉、肾脏、肝脏组织中Neu5Gc的含量,并采用Gen与唾液酸转移酶(Sialyltransferase,ST)分子对接,初步探讨了其抑制Neu5Gc合成的机理。结果表明:灌胃15 d时,后腿肌肉和肝脏组织中的Neu5Gc的含量分别降低了13.77%和15.45%,而肾脏组织中Neu5Gc的含量变化差异不显著;30 d时,在肌肉组织中未检出Neu5Gc,在肝脏组织中的Neu5Gc的含量降低了13.35%,肾脏组织中Neu5Gc的含量没有显著的变化;45 d时,在后腿肌肉、肾脏组织和肝脏组织中的Neu5Gc含量分别降低了32.65%、16.80%和32.78%;60d时,在后腿肌肉、肾脏组织和肝脏组织中Neu5Gc含量降低了12.72%、12.30%和11.42%。Gen与ST活性位点残基His319、Ser151、Gly293、Thr328形成氢键,且与残基His302、His301、Trp300、Ser271、Phe292、Thr328、Ser325、Ile274形成疏水作用。因此分子间弱相互作用是导致Gen抑制ST活性的主要原因。该研究结果为后续开展宰前降低红肉中Neu5Gc的方法提供了基础实验方法支撑。 相似文献

Sialyltransferase activity of bovine serum with the acceptor asialofetuin exhibits a pH optimum at 6.0-6.5, no divalent cation dependence, and a Km for CMP-sialic acid of 0.05 mM. Although a 2-fold increase in sialyltransferase activity with the acceptor asialofetuin is observed in serum samples from 2-day-old vs 20-day-old calves, the relative activity towards other glycoprotein acceptors is not different between the groups. With the acceptor lactose, the major product (greater than 95%) for all samples is 3'-sialyllactose, suggesting that the elevated levels of sialyltransferase in 2-day-old calves are due to Gal-R (alpha 2-3) sialyltransferase. 相似文献

Liver slices from control and 24hr inflamed rats were incubated for up to 20hr with 5mM 1-deoxynojirimycin (DN), an inhibitor of the processing glucosidases. The amounts of albumin and alpha 1-acid glycoprotein (AGP) and the activities of sialyltransferase were determined in liver and medium. The presence of DN significantly inhibited the release of AGP and sialyltransferase. The inhibitory effect of DN was most pronounced with slices from inflamed rats. Secretion of albumin was not inhibited. Incorporation studies with labelled leucine and mannose showed that the inhibitor did not significantly affect protein synthesis, but it did inhibit mannose incorporation into AGP and sialyltransferase. The results show that DN inhibits the secretion of acute phase AGP and sialyltransferase in liver slices and further suggests that sialyltransferase is a glycoprotein. 相似文献

A strikingly elevated level of sialyltransferase activity was observed in the serum of rats treated with colchicine. In contrast, the level of other glycosyltransferases in the serum remained relatively unchanged with the exception of a smaller increase of fucosyltransferase activity. The increase of sialyltransferase activity in the serum was dependent upon the dose of colchicine and on the time following its administration. The possibility of presence of any activator or inhibitor of the sialyltransferase in serum was excluded by appropriate mixing experiments. 相似文献

Developmental changes in the activities of sialyl- and fucosyltransferases in rat small intestine 总被引:2,自引:0,他引:2
To study an enzymatic basis for the postnatal changes in intestinal glycosylation, the activities of sialyl- and fucosyltransferases were determined in the particulate fraction of mucosal cells prepared from rat small intestine of various ages. The results show that sialyltransferase activity was present in increased levels compared to adults during the preweaning period (1-2 weeks) and subsequently declined 5-fold to adult levels after weaning, while fucosyltransferase activity was decreased compared to adults in the first 3 weeks of life, rapidly increased at 4 weeks, and reached adult levels (10-fold) by 5 weeks. The changes in both sialyl- and fucosyltransferase activities were reflected by the membranous content of glycosidic-bound sialic acid and fucose, respectively. Cortisone injection precociously induced a decreased sialyltransferase activity and an increased fucosyltransferase activity in 2-week-old suckling rats. This study indicates that the activities of sialyl- and fucosyltransferases were reciprocally related and modulated by cortisone action in the developing intestine. These enzyme changes may be responsible for the previously noted shift from sialylation to fucosylation of the intestinal mucosa during maturation. 相似文献

In regenerating rat liver the activities of CMP-N-acetylneuraminate hydrolase and UDP-galactose pyrophosphatase were decreased to 40-50% of control values within 35 h after partial hepatectomy. In the same time period the activities of sialyltransferase and galactosyltransferase were increased, and the initial sharp decrease in the carbohydrate content of liver and serum glycoproteins was largely restored. The antiparallel nature of these events is suggestive of an involvement of nucleotide-sugar-hydrolysis enzymes in rat liver glycoprotein biosynthesis. 相似文献

Transfer of synthetic sialic acid analogues to N- and O-linked glycoprotein glycans using four different mammalian sialyltransferases 总被引:2,自引:0,他引:2

This paper presents kinetic properties of the transfer of several synthetic 9-substituted sialic acid analogues onto N- or O-linked glycoprotein glycans by four purified mammalian sialyltransferases: Gal beta 1,4GlcNac alpha 2,6sialyltransferase, Gal beta-1,4(3)GlcNAc alpha 2,3-sialyltransferase, Gal beta 1,3GalNAc alpha 2,3sialyltransferase, and GalNAc alpha 2,6sialyltransferase. The substituents at C-9 of the sialic acid analogues introduce special biochemical characteristics: 9-Amino-NeuAc represents, up to the present, the first derivative that is resistant toward bacterial, viral, and mammalian sialidases but is transferred by a sialyltransferase. 9-Acetamido-NeuAc, 9-benzamido-NeuAc, and 9-hexanoylamido-NeuAc differ in size and hydrophobic character from each other and from parent NeuAc. 9-Azido-NeuAc may be used to introduce a photoreactive label. The kinetic properties of the four sialyltransferases with regard to the donor CMP-glycosides differed distinctly depending on the structure of the substituent at C-9. CMP-9-amino-NeuAc was only accepted as donor substrate by Gal beta 1,4GlcNAc alpha 2,6sialyltransferase (rat liver), but the Km value was 14-fold higher than that of parent CMP-NeuAc. In contrast, 9-azido-NeuAc was readily transferred by each of these four enzymes. 9-Acetamido-NeuAc, which is a receptor analogue for influenza C virus, 9-benzamido-NeuAc, and 9-hexanoylamido-NeuAc were also accepted by each sialyltransferase, but incorporation values differed significantly depending on the enzyme used. For the first time, the resialylation of asialo-alpha 1-acid glycoprotein with 9-substituted sialic acid analogues by Gal beta 1,4GlcNAc alpha 2,6sialyltransferase is demonstrated. 相似文献

Induction of inflammation by turpentine injection caused 1.5–2-fold increase of both sialy- and galactosyltransferase activity in liver homogenates. The effect was apparent after 12 h turpentine treatment. Serum sialytransferase activity started to increase in the inflamed rats after 18 h, reaching a maximum of 4-fold at 48 h. In contrast, galactosyltransferase activity in serum showed no significant increase. The coordinated and temporal increase of sialytransferase activity in liver and serum suggest involvement of a specific mechanism for the preferential release of this enzyme into serum. 相似文献

Turpentine induced inflammation has been shown to elevate liver sialyl- and galactosyltransferase activities (Turchen, B., Jamieson, J.C., Huebner, E., and van Caeseele, L. (1977) Can. J. Zool. 55, 1567-1571; Lombart, C., Sturgess, J., and Schachter, H. (1980) Biochem. Biophys. Acta 629, 1-12). We now report that serum sialyl-, but not galactosyltransferase activities are significantly elevated in turpentine inflammation. A liver slice system is used to demonstrate that liver releases large amounts of sialyltransferase activity into medium after inflammation, whereas only a low level of galactosyltransferase activity is released. Studies with rat and human asialo-alpha 1-acid glycoprotein as acceptors, coupled with the use of lactose to confirm the nature of the linkages formed, showed that Gal beta 1 leads to 4GlcNAc alpha 2 leads to 6 sialyltransferase is released from liver in turpentine inflammation and is mainly responsible for the elevated sialyltransferase activity found in serum. The alpha 2 leads to 6 sialyltransferase is exhibiting the properties of a typical acute phase reactant. 相似文献

Kinetic parameters of a beta-D-galactoside alpha 2 leads to 6 sialyltransferase from embryonic chicken liver 总被引:1,自引:0,他引:1
A beta-D-galactoside alpha 2 leads to 6 sialyltransferase was purified 500-fold in 14% yield from 14-day embryonic chicken liver. Characterization of the product of the sialyltransferase catalysis was accomplished by separation and permethylation of double-labelled ([14C]NeuAc, [3H]Gal) oligosaccharides following their release from the glycoprotein fetuin by hydrazinolysis. The enzyme transfers NeuAc to Gal(beta 1 leads to 4)GlcNAc(beta 1 leads to)R-terminated oligosaccharides; no activity was found towards Gal(beta 1 leads to 3)GalNAc(alpha 1 leads to)R structures. The trisaccharide. NeuAc(alpha 2 leads to 6)Gal(beta 1 leads to 4)Glc, was shown to be a good inhibitor of the sialyltransferase. Kinetic investigations of the enzyme indicate it to have a sequential, random bi-bi mechanism. 相似文献

A single injection of 2.5 mg perphenazine (PH)/kg body wt to rats on the day of estrus (day 0) did not result in increased serum progesterone 24 hr later. Continued daily injections, however, resulted in a 2.5-fold increase in serum progesterone between days 1 and 3 and a 1.6-fold increase between days 3 and 5 to a final concentration of 58 plus or minus 4 ng/ml on day 5 in serially anesthetized and bled rats. Neither daily administration of 5.0 nor 10.0 mg PH/kg body wt to rats subjected to the stressful conditions of this regimen resulted in further increases in serum progesterone, but the 5.0 mg dose of PH in unstressed rats bled only on day 5 resulted in a highly significant increase in serum progesterone to 110 plus or minus 7 ng/ml. In unstressed rats the increase in serum progesterone over control values after five daily injections of 2.5 mg PH/kg body wt could be attributed to decreased 20alpha-reduction of progesterone, but when the dose of PH was increased to 5.0 mg/kg, a highly significant increase in both progesterone and total progestins occurred indicating that prolactin can increase steroidogenesis as well as reduce 20alpha-hydroxysteroid dehydrogenase activity. After inhibition of ovulation, the 5.0 mg daily dose of PH resulted in serum progesterone of only 25 plus or minus 8 ng/ml on day 5 in unstressed rats. Thus, serum progesterone in ovulating rats treated with PH originated primarily in the corpora lutea. Perphenazine, 5.0 mg/kg, administered only on estrus and the first day of diestrus was sufficient to induce pseudopregnancy of 14.5 plus or minus 1.6 days. No evidence for gonadotropin stimulation of the ovaries of any rats was observed. The effect of stress on the progesterone response was not mimicked by administration of cortisol acetate and is assumed to be medicated by suppression of prolactin secretion. 相似文献
