BACKGROUND: DC are commonly defined as HLA-DR+/Lin- cells that can be CD11c+ + + CD123+/ -, termed DC1/myeloid DC that induce a Th1 response, or CD11c- CD123+ + +, termed DC2/lymphoid DC that induce a Th2 response. However, significant heterogeneity within DC preparations is apparent and supports the existence of several distinct DC subpopulations. This study aimed to expand and characterize CD34+ DC for use in immunotherapy. METHODS: CD34+ cells were seeded at 1 x 10(5)/mL and expanded for 14 days in RPMI + 10% autologous plasma supplemented with GM-CSF, IL-4, Flt-3L and SCF. Maturation was induced with TNF-alpha and PGE2 for 2 days. DC were analyzed morphologically, phenotypically with a panel of MAb to lineage and DC markers, and functionally in MLR, T-cell assays and T-cell cytokine secretion by ELISA. RESULTS: Significant cellular expansion was observed: 60+/-5 x 10(6) DC from 1 x 10(6) CD34+ cells (n=28). Phenotypically DC were characterized as HLA-DR+ +, CD11c+ + +, CD80+ +, CD83+, CD86+ +, CD123+ +, CD15+ +, CD33+ +, BDCA-1+ +, CD4+ and Lin-. DC displayed potent allostimulatory capacity and efficient presentation of KLH and tetanus toxin. DC-primed T cells secreted IFN-gamma (Th1); however, no detectable IL-4 (Th2) was noted. DISCUSSION: We present features of CD34+ DC that have not been previously described. The CD34+ DC generated represent a population of myeloid DC functioning as DC1 but phenotypically expressing markers characteristic of both DC1 and DC2. This novel DC population is capable of inducing naive T-cell responses and can be expanded to clinically useful numbers. CD34+-derived DC represent attractive candidates for use in adoptive T-cell immunotherapy. 相似文献

We examined inhibitory effects of external multivalent cations Ni(2+), Co(2+), Cd(2+), La(3+), Mg(2+), and Mn(2+) on reverse-mode exchange of the K(+)-dependent Na(+)/Ca(2+) exchanger NCKX2 and the K(+)-independent exchanger NCX1 expressed in CCL-39 cells by measuring the rate of Ca(2+) uptake with radioisotope tracer and electrophysiological techniques. The apparent affinities for block of Ca(2+) uptake by multivalent cations was higher in NCKX2 than NCX1, and the rank order of inhibitory potencies among these cations was different. Additional experiments also showed that external Li(+) stimulated reverse-mode exchange by NCX1, but not NCKX2 in the presence of 5 mM K(+). Thus, both exchangers exhibited differential sensitivities to not only K(+) but also many other external cations. We attempted to locate the putative binding sites within the alpha motifs for multivalent cations by site-directed mutagenesis experiments. The cation affinities of NCKX2 were altered by mutations of amino acid residues in the alpha-1 motif, but not by mutations in the alpha-2 motif. These results contrast with those for NCX1 where mutations in both alpha-1 and alpha-2 motifs have been shown previously to affect cation affinities. Susceptibility tests with sulfhydryl alkylating agents suggested that the alpha-1 and alpha-2 motifs are situated extracellularly and intracellularly, respectively, in both exchangers. A topological model is proposed in which the extracellular-facing alpha-1 motif forms an external cation binding site that includes key residues N203, G207C, and I209 in NCKX2, while both alpha-1 and alpha-2 motifs together form the binding sites in NCX1. 相似文献

To increase our understanding of the physical nature of the Na+ and K+ forms of the Na+ + K+-dependent ATPase, thermal-denaturation studies were conducted in different types of ionic media. Thermal-denaturation measurements were performed by measuring the regeneration of ATPase activity after slow pulse exposure to elevated temperatures. Two types of experiments were performed. First, the dependence of the thermal-denaturation rate on Na+ and K+ concentrations was examined. It was found that both cations stabilized the pump protein. Also, K+ was a more effective stabilizer of the native state than was Na+. Secondly, a set of thermodynamic parameters was obtained by measuring the temperature-dependence of the thermal-denaturation rate under three ionic conditions: 60 mM-K+, 150 mM-Na+ and no Na+ or K+. It was found that ion-mediated stabilization of the pump protein was accompanied by substantial increases in activation enthalpy and entropy, the net effect being a less-pronounced increase in activation free energy. 相似文献

(1) Contrary to what has usually been assumed, (Na+ + K+)-ATPase slowly hydrolyses AdoPP[NH]P in the presence of Na+ + Mg2+ to ADP-NH2 and Pi. The activity is ouabain-sensitive and is not detected in the absence of either Mg2+ or Na2+. The specific activity of the Na+ + Mg2+ dependent AdoPP[NH]P hydrolysis at 37°C and pH 7.0 is 4% of that for ATP under identical conditions and only 0.07% of that for ATP in the presence of K+. The activity is not stimulated by K+, nor can K+ replace Na+ in its stimulatory action. This suggests that phosphorylation is rate-limiting. Stimulation by Na+ is positively cooperative with a Hill coefficient of 2.4; half-maximal stimulation occurs at 5–9 mM. The Km value for AdoPP[NH]P is 17 μM. At 0°C and 21°C the specific activity is 2 and 14%, respectively, of that at 37°C. AMP, ADP and AdoPP[CH2]P are not detectably hydrolysed by (Na+ + K+)-ATPase in the presence of Na+ + Mg2+. (2) In addition, AdoPP[NH]P undergoes spontaneous, non-enzymatic hydrolysis at pH 7.0 with rate constants at 0, 21 and 37°C of 0.0006, 0.006 and 0.07 h?1, respectively. This effect is small compared to the effect of enzymatic hydrolysis under comparable conditions. Mg2+ present in excess of AdoPP[NH]P reduces the rate constant of the spontaneous hydrolysis to 0.005 h?1 at 37°C, indicating that the MgAdoPP[NH]P complex is virtually stable to spontaneous hydrolysis, as is also the case for its enzymatic hydrolysis. (3) A practical consequence of these findings is that AdoPP[NH]P binding studies in the presence of Na+ + Mg2+ with enzyme concentrations in the mg/ml range are not possible at temperatures above 0°C. On the other hand, determination of affinity in the (Na+ + K+)-ATPase reaction by competition with ATP at low protein concentrations (μg/ml range) remains possible without significant hydrolysis of AdoPP[NH]P even at 37°C. 相似文献

Liposomes containing either purified or microsomal (Na+,K+)-ATPase preparations from lamb kidney medulla catalyzed ATP-dependent transport of Na+ and K+ with a ratio of approximately 3Na+ to 2K+, which was inhibited by ouabain. Similar results were obtained with liposomes containing a partially purified (Na+,K+)-ATPase from cardiac muscle. This contrasts with an earlier report by Goldin and Tong (J. Biol. Chem. 249, 5907-5915, 1974), in which liposomes containing purified dog kidney (Na+,K+)-ATPase did not transport K+ but catalyzed ATP-dependent symport of Na+ and Cl-. When purified by our procedure, dog kidney (Na+,K+)-ATPase showed some ability to transport K+ but the ratio of Na+ : K+ was 5 : 1. 相似文献

The Lyt phenotype of cytotoxic T cells generated in the primary H-2 response was investigated kinetically. The cytotoxicity generated in the early stage of culture was abolished by treatment with alpha Lyt-1,2,3, and complement (C), whereas that generated in the late stage was only partially eliminated by alpha Lyt-1, but was abolished by alpha Lyt-2, 3, and C. This suggested late expansion of the Lyt-1-2+3+ population. Lack of Lyt-1 antigen was confirmed with cells that were depleted of Lyt-1+ from primary culture and then stimulated in the secondary response by elimination of cytotoxicity and by direct Lyt typing. Results indicated that the response of proliferative and cytotoxic T cells of the Lyt-1+2+3+ phenotype in the early stage of culture was followed by activation of Lyt-1-2+3+ T cells. Cytotoxic T cells in the late stage were shown to be a mixture of Lyt-1+2+3+ and Lyt-1-2+3+ cells. This was confirmed with cytotoxic T cells from secondary culture and uncloned long-term T cell lines. 相似文献

The effects of altered external sodium and potassium concentrations on steady state, active Na+ + K+ transport in Ehrlich ascites tumor cells have been investigated. Membrane permeability to Na+ and K+, intracellular [Na+] and [K+], and membrane potential were measured. Active cation fluxes were calculated as equal and membrane potential were measured. Active cation fluxes were calculated as equal and opposite to the net, diffusional leak fluxes. Elevation of external K+ (6–60 Mm)by equivalent replacement of Na+ (154–91 mM) inhibits both active Na+ and K+ fluxes, but not proportionally. This results in a decrease of the coupling ratio (rp = -Jkp/J) as external K+ is increased. Elevation of external K+ (3–68 mM) at constant Na+ (92mM) inbibits J, but is without effect on J. The coupling ratio declines from 1.01 ± 0.14 to 0.07 ± 0.05, a 14-fold alteration. Reduction of external Na+ (154–25 mM) at constant K+ (6mM) depresses J, but is without effect on J. The coupling ratio increases from 0.63 ± 0.04 at 154 mM Na+ to 4.5 ± 2.04 at 25 mM Na+. The results of this investigation are consistent with the independent regulation of active cation fluxes by the transported species. Kinetic analysis of the data indicates that elevation of external sodium stimulates active sodium efflux by interacting at “modifier sites” at the outer cell surface. Similarly, external potassium inhibits active potassium influx by interaction at separate modifier sites. 相似文献

Experiments on the effects of varying concentrations of Ca2+ on the Mg2+ + Na+-dependent ATPase activity of a highly purified preparation of dog kidney (Na+ + K+)-ATPase showed that Ca2+ was a partial inhibitor of this activity. When Ca2+ was added to the reaction mixture instead of Mg2+, there was a ouabain-sensitive Ca2+ + Na+-dependent ATPase activity the maximal velocity of which was 30 to 50% of that of Mg2+ + Na+-dependent activity. The apparent affinities of the enzyme for Ca2+ and CaATP seemed to be higher than those for Mg2+ and MgATP. Addition of K+, along with Ca2+ and Na+, increased the maximal velocity and the concentration of ATP required to obtain half-maximal velocity. The maximal velocity of the ouabain-sensitive Ca2+ + Na+ + K+-dependent ATPase was about two orders of magnitude smaller than that of Mg2+ + Na+ + K+-dependent activity. In agreement with previous observations, it was shown that in the presence of Ca2+, Na+, and ATP, an acid-stable phosphoenzyme was formed that was sensitive to either ADP or K+. The enzyme also exhibited a Ca2+ + Na+-dependent ADP-ATP exchange activity. Neither the inhibitory effects of Ca2+ on Mg2+-dependent activities, nor the Ca2+-dependent activities were influenced by the addition of calmodulin. Because of the presence of small quantities of endogenous Mg2+ in all reaction mixtures, it could not be determined whether the apparent Ca2+-dependent activities involved enzyme-substrate complexes containing Ca2+ as the divalent cation or both Ca2+ and Mg2+. 相似文献

Gastric (H+ + K+)-ATPase was reconstituted into artificial phosphatidylcholine/cholesterol liposomes by means of a freeze-thaw-sonication technique. Upon addition of MgATP, active H+ transport was observed, with a maximal rate of 2.1 mumol X mg-1 X min-1, requiring the presence of 100 mM K+ at the intravesicular site. However, in the absence of ATP an H+-K+ exchange with a maximal rate of 0.12 mumol X mg-1 X min-1 was measured, which could be inhibited by the well-known ATPase inhibitors vanadate and omeprazole, giving the first evidence of a passive K+-H+ exchange function of gastric (H+ + K+)-ATPase. An Na+-H+ exchange activity was also measured, which was fully inhibited by 1 mM amiloride. Simultaneous reconstitution of Na+/H+ antiport and (H+ + K+)-ATPase could explain why reconstituted ATPase appeared less cation-specific than the native enzyme (Rabon, E.C., Gunther, R.B., Soumarmon, A., Bassilian, B., Lewin, M.J.M. and Sachs, G.

The chromium(III) complex of ATP, an MgATP complex analogue, inactivates (Na+ + K+)-ATPase by forming a stable chromo-phosphointermediate. The rate constant k2 of inactivation at 37 degrees C of the beta, gamma-bidentate of CrATP is enhanced by Na+ (K0.5 = 1.08 mM), imidazole (K0.5 = 15 mM) and Mg2+ (K0.5 = 0.7 mM). These cations did not affect the dissociation constant of the enzyme-chromium-ATP complex. The inactive chromophosphoenzyme is reactivated slowly by high concentrations of Na+ at 37 degrees C. The half-maximal effect on the reactivation was reached at 40 mM NaCl, when the maximally observable reactivation was studied. However, 126 mM NaCl was necessary to see the half-maximal effect on the apparent reactivation velocity constant. K+ ions hindered the reactivation with a Ki of 70 microM. Formation of the chromophosphoenzyme led to a reduction of the Rb+ binding sites and of the capacity to occlude Rb+. The beta, gamma-bidentate of chromium(III)ATP (Kd = 8 microM) had a higher than the alpha, beta, gamma-tridentate of chromium(III)ATP (Kd = 44 microM) or the cobalt tetramine complex of ATP (Kd = 500 microM). The beta, gamma-bidentate of the chromium(III) complex of adenosine 5'-[beta, gamma-methylene]triphosphate also inactivated (Na+ + K+)ATPase. Although CrATP could not support Na+, K+ exchange in everted vesicles prepared from human red blood cells, it supported the Na+-Na+ and Rb+-Rb+ exchange. It is concluded that CrATP opens up Na+ and K+ channels by forming a relatively stable modified enzyme-CrATP complex. This stable complex is also formed in the presence of the chromium complex of adenosine 5'-[beta, gamma-methylene]triphosphate. Because the beta, gamma-bidentate of chromium ATP is recognized better than the alpha, beta, gamma-tridentate, it is concluded that the triphosphate site recognizes MgATP with a straight polyphosphate chain and that the Mg2+ resides between the beta- and the gamma-phosphorus. The enhancement of inactivation by Mg2+ and Na+ may be caused by conformational changes at the triphosphate site. 相似文献
