ART-1, a cell surface ADP-ribosyltransferase, is imbedded in the membrane by a glycosylphosphatidylinositol anchor. Function of this enzyme in mouse T lymphocytes is to transfer ADP-ribose groups from NAD to arginine residues, exposed on the extracellular domain of cell surface molecules. As a consequence, T cell responses are modulated. To explore the precise action of the enzyme, the T cell lymphoma EL-4 was transfected with the ART-1 gene, and its effects were examined. It is shown that ART-1 ADP-ribosylates distinct cell surface molecules, causing inhibition of T cell receptor signaling, concomitant to suppression of p56(lck) kinase activation. These effects are explained by failure of T cell receptors and co-receptors to associate into a contiguous and functional receptor cluster. 相似文献

Renal cell carcinoma (RCC) is the most common renal tumour in adults. Altered levels of secondary messengers, that is, intracellular calcium and cyclic AMP (cAMP), have been implicated in the pathogenesis of various malignancies. In the present study, we measured levels of intracellular calcium and cAMP in RCC. The intracellular calcium level was significantly reduced, whereas the cAMP level was significantly augmented in RCC as compared with adjacent grossly normal renal parenchyma.

The adhesive properties of Chinese hamster V79 cells were analyzed and characterized by various cell dissociation treatments. The comparisons of aggregability among cells dissociated with EDTA, trypsin + Ca2+, and trypsin + EDTA, revealed that these cells have two adhesion mechanisms, a Ca2+-independent and a Ca2+-dependent one. The former did not depend on temperature, whereas the latter occurred only at physiological temperatures. Both mechanisms were trypsin sensitive, but the Ca2+- dependent one was protected by Ca2+ against trypsinization. In morphological studies, the Ca2+-independent adhesion appeared to be a simple agglutination or flocculation of cells, whereas the Ca2+- dependent adhesion seemed to be more physiological, being accompanied by cell deformation resulting in the increase of contact area between adjacent cells. Lactoperoxidase-catalyzed iodination of cell surface proteins revealed that several proteins are more intensely labeled in cells with Ca2+-independent adhesiveness than in cells without that property. It was also found that a cell surface protein with a molecular weight of approximately 150,000 is present only in cells with Ca2+-dependent adhesiveness. The iodination and trypsinization of this protein were protected by Ca2+, suggesting its reactivity to Ca2+. Possible mechanisms for each adhesion property are discussed, taking into account the correlation of these proteins with cell adhesiveness. 相似文献

Phorbol ester-induced surface transferrin receptor modulation. No correlation with decreased cell proliferation 总被引:1,自引:0,他引:1
Both phorbol ester or diacylglycerol (DAG) reduce cell surface transferrin receptor (TFR) number in CEM cells (a human T-cell acute lymphoblastic leukemia line) and HL-60 cells (a human promyelocytic leukemia cell line). This effect occurs with a t1/2 of approx. 30 min and is mimicked by addition of phospholipase C to cell cultures. Although cell surface TFR number is reduced to 25-30% of the control level 5 h after phorbol ester administration, apparent cell proliferation (as measured by [3H]thymidine incorporation) remains unaffected. Although independent of extracellular calcium (EGTA is slightly enhancing), the phenomenon is completely blocked by 30-min pretreatment with the calcium channel blocker diltiazem. Dilitazem pretreatment, while preventing receptor redistribution, does not completely block the phorbol ester-induced increase in TFR phosphorylation thought to be associated with receptor redistribution. Thus, calcium channel blockade effectively dissociates the effects of tetradecanoylphorbol acetate (TPA) on TFR internalization and phosphorylation. Our results also demonstrate that phorbol ester-induced effects on the TFR can be mimicked by the endogenous stimulator of protein kinase C, DAG, whether added directly to cultures or produced by the cells in response to exogenous phospholipase C. Furthermore, the phenomenon of TFR redistribution here described is not associated with a decreased proliferative capacity. 相似文献

Collagenase production by chondrocytes appears to play a major role in the development of osteoarthritis. Although the mechanisms regulating collagenase production by chondrocytes are not known, incubation of bovine chondrocytes in serum markedly decreases collagenase production. Since serum has been demonstrated to increase levels of phosphotyrosine (P-Tyr) in several cell types, we determined the effect of altering intracellular levels of P-Tyr on collagenase production. Both orthovanadate, a potent inhibitor of tyrosine phosphatases, and serum caused a marked increase in tyrosine phosphorylation. The increase in P-Tyr was associated with a decrease in the production of collagenase, suggesting that two processes may be linked. Orthovanadate caused an increase in P-Tyr in the absence of serum, suggesting that P-Tyr levels in resting chondrocytes are regulated through activity of both tyrosine kinases and phosphatases. Orthovanadate and serum induced a synergistic increase in P-Tyr levels, suggesting that serum functions through increasing kinase activity rather than decreasing phosphatase activity. In the absence of serum, concentrations of orthovanadate which maximally inhibited collagenase production primarily increased phosphorylation of a 36 kDa protein, suggesting that the phosphorylation of this protein may play a major role in regulating collagenase production. Orthovanadate had limited effects on chondrocyte proteoglycan synthesis, morphology or viability in the presence or absence of serum, suggesting that the decrease in collagenase production was not due to non-specific inhibition of protein synthesis or cellular toxicity. Inhibition of tyrosine phosphatases by orthovanadate or activation of tyrosine kinases by addition of serum correlated with the inhibition of collagenase production. 相似文献

Rearranged beta T cell receptor genes in a helper T cell clone specific for lysozyme: no correlation between V beta and MHC restriction 总被引:29,自引:0,他引:29
The helper T cell clone 3H.25 is specific for hen egg white lysozyme and the class II MHC molecule I-Ab. This TH cell has three rearrangements in the beta-chain gene family-a V beta-D beta-J beta 1 and a D beta 2-J beta 2 rearrangement on one homolog and a D beta 1-J beta 2 rearrangement on the other. These observations demonstrate that this functional T lymphocyte expresses only a single V beta gene segment and, accordingly, exhibits allelic exclusion of beta-chain gene expression. The rearranged 3H.25 V beta gene segment is the same as that expressed in a T helper cell specific for cytochrome c and an I-Ek MHC molecule. Thus, there is no simple correlation between the V beta gene segment and antigen specificity or MHC restriction. 相似文献

Background
We recently identified selenoprotein P (SeP) as a liver-derived secretory protein that causes insulin resistance in the liver and skeletal muscle; however, it is unknown whether and, if so, how SeP acts on adipose tissue. The present study tested the hypothesis that SeP is related to hypoadiponectinemia in patients with type 2 diabetes.Methodology/Principal Findings
We compared serum levels of SeP with those of adiponectin and other clinical parameters in 36 patients with type 2 diabetes. We also measured levels of blood adiponectin in SeP knockout mice. Circulating SeP levels were positively correlated with fasting plasma glucose (r = 0.35, P = 0.037) and negatively associated with both total and high-molecular adiponectin in patients with type 2 diabetes (r = −0.355, P = 0.034; r = −0.367, P = 0.028). SeP was a predictor of both total and high-molecular adiponectin, independently of age, body weight, and quantitative insulin sensitivity index (β = −0.343, P = 0.022; β = −0.357, P = 0.017). SeP knockout mice exhibited an increase in blood adiponectin levels when fed regular chow or a high sucrose, high fat diet.Conclusions/Significance
These results suggest that overproduction of liver-derived secretory protein SeP is connected with hypoadiponectinemia in patients with type 2 diabetes. 相似文献10.

We have reported the existence of biochemical and conformational differences in the alphabeta T cell receptor (TCR) complex between CD4(+) and CD8(+) CD3gamma-deficient (gamma(-)) mature T cells. In the present study, we have furthered our understanding and extended the observations to primary T lymphocytes from normal (gamma(+)) individuals. Surface TCR.CD3 components from CD4(+) gamma(-) T cells, other than CD3gamma, were detectable and similar in size to CD4(+) gamma(+) controls. Their native TCR.CD3 complex was also similar to CD4(+) gamma(+) controls, except for an alphabeta(deltaepsilon)(2)zeta(2) instead of an alphabetagammaepsilondeltaepsilonzeta(2) stoichiometry. In contrast, the surface TCRalpha, TCRbeta, and CD3delta chains of CD8(+) gamma(-) T cells did not possess their usual sizes. Using confocal immunofluorescence, TCRalpha was hardly detectable in CD8(+) gamma(-) T cells. Blue native gels (BN-PAGE) demonstrated the existence of a heterogeneous population of TCR.CD3 in these cells. Using primary peripheral blood T lymphocytes from normal (gamma(+)) donors, we performed a broad epitopic scan. In contrast to all other TCR.CD3-specific monoclonal antibodies, RW2-8C8 stained CD8(+) better than it did CD4(+) T cells, and the difference was dependent on glycosylation of the TCR.CD3 complex but independent of T cell activation or differentiation. RW2-8C8 staining of CD8(+) T cells was shown to be more dependent on lipid raft integrity than that of CD4(+) T cells. Finally, immunoprecipitation studies on purified primary CD4(+) and CD8(+) T cells revealed the existence of TCR glycosylation differences between the two. Collectively, these results are consistent with the existence of conformational or topological lineage-specific differences in the TCR.CD3 from CD4(+) and CD8(+) wild type T cells. The differences may be relevant for cis interactions during antigen recognition and signal transduction. 相似文献

Flow cytometry was applied to measure the fluorescence of IgG molecules on hybridoma cell surface stained with FITC-conjugated anti-mouse IgG F(ab')2. Using light scattering to exclude the dead cell population from the analysis, the surface fluorescence intensity allows for the differentiation between producing and nonproducing cells. A linear correlation has been found between the intensity of mean surface fluorescence of the cell population and the specific antibody production rate. 相似文献

Influence of accessory cell and T cell surface antigens on mitogen-induced IL 2 receptor expression 总被引:1,自引:0,他引:1

We have assessed the inhibitory effects of various monoclonal antibodies on the expression of the IL 2 receptor. Anti-LFA-1, but not anti-Ly-2, markedly inhibited the induction of the IL 2 receptor on the Ly-2+ subset. T-depleted spleen cells, L cells, and B lymphoma cells all functioned as potent accessory cells (AC) for the induction of the IL 2 receptor on L3T4+ T cells. Anti-LFA-1 inhibited the induction of the IL 2 receptor irrespective of the type of AC used. Anti-L3T4 only inhibited the induction of IL 2 receptor expression when L cells were the source of AC. The inhibitory capacity of anti-L3T4 was not related to the expression of Ia on the AC population, because the magnitude of inhibition was comparable in cultures containing either Ia+ or Ia- L cells, whereas no inhibition was seen with either Ia+ or Ia-B lymphoma cells. We conclude from these studies that LFA-1 plays a critical role in mitogen-induced activation of both T cell subsets by promoting both T-AC and T-T interactions. Although anti-L3T4 can inhibit T cell activation in the absence of the recognition of Ia, the mechanism of inhibition and the proposed target molecule for L3T4 on the AC or the T cell have not been determined in our studies. A number of different models for the function of this cell surface antigen are discussed. 相似文献

We have examined the chromosomal location of human T cell-specific genes which are involved in antigen recognition and of a gene which specifically rearranges in T cells. The genes encoding both the variable and constant region segments of the T cell receptor alpha chain are found on chromosome 14 while the delta chain gene of the T cell receptor-associated T3 complex is localised to chromosome 11. Further, the two tandemly arranged T cell-specific rearranging genes, designated gamma, were mapped to chromosome 7, but apparently not closely linked to the previously mapped T cell receptor beta-chain gene. The locations of the three different genes, which undergo rearrangement in T cells, may correlate with the chromosomal breakpoints known to be involved in translocations within abnormal human T cells. 相似文献
