S100 beta is a calcium-binding protein with neurotrophic and mitogenic activities, both of which may be mediated by the protein's ability to stimulate an increase in intracellular free calcium ([Ca2+]i). These extracellular trophic activities of S100 beta require a disulfide-linked, dimeric form of the protein. In this chapter, we present a minireview on the current state of knowledge concerning extracellular functions of S100 beta, with emphasis on the potential relevance of these activities to neuropathological disorders. We also report a simplified procedure for preparation of pharmacological amounts of biologically active S100 beta dimers, based on the finding that formation of disulfide-linked S100 beta dimers can be stimulated by the presence of calcium or lipid. 相似文献

Flow dialysis measurements of calcium binding to bovine brain S100 alpha alpha, S100a (alpha beta), and S100b (beta beta) proteins in 20 mM Tris-HCl buffer at pH 7.5 and 8.3 revealed that S100 proteins bind specifically 4 Ca2+ eq/mol of protein dimer. The specific calcium-binding sites had, therefore, been assigned to typical amino acid sequences on the alpha and beta subunit. The protein affinity for calcium is much lower in the presence of magnesium and potassium. Potassium strongly antagonizes calcium binding on two calcium-binding sites responsible for most of the Ca2+-induced conformational changes on S100 proteins (probably site II alpha and site II beta). Zinc-binding studies in the absence of divalent cations revealed eight zinc-binding sites/mol of S100b protein dimer that we assumed to correspond to 4 zinc-binding sites/beta subunit. Zinc binding to S100b studied with UV spectroscopy methods showed that the occupation of the four higher affinity sites and the four lower affinity sites on the protein dimer were responsible for different conformational changes in S100b structure. Zinc binding on the higher affinity sites regulates calcium binding to S100b by increasing the protein affinity for calcium and decreasing the antagonistic effect of potassium on calcium binding. Zinc-binding studies on S100a and S100 alpha alpha protein showed that the Trp-containing S100 proteins bind zinc more weakly than S100b protein. Calcium-binding studies on zinc-bound S100a proved that calcium- and zinc-binding sites were distinct although there was no increase in zinc-bound S100a affinity for calcium, as in S100b protein. Finally we provide evidence that discrepancies between previously published results on the optical properties of S100b protein probably result from oxidation of the sulfhydryl groups in the protein. 相似文献

S100 beta stimulates calcium fluxes in glial and neuronal cells. 总被引:7,自引:0,他引:7
The glial-derived protein S100 beta can act as a mitogen or a neurotrophic factor, stimulating proliferation of glial cells or differentiation of immature neurons. We report here that dimeric S100 beta evokes increases in intracellular free calcium concentrations ([Ca2+]i) in both glial cells and neuronal cells. The [Ca2+]i increase exhibited a rapid transient component which was not affected by removal of extracellular calcium and a sustained component which appeared to require influx of extracellular calcium through Ni(2+)-sensitive channels. S100 beta also stimulated hydrolysis of phosphoinositides, suggesting a mobilization of calcium from intracellular stores. These data suggest that although the final biological responses of neuronal and glial cells to S100 beta are different, transduction of the S100 beta signal in both cell types involves changes in [Ca2+]i. 相似文献

In order to clarify the function of human S100 beta-positive T-cells, S100 beta-positive T-leukemia cells (S100 beta TLC) were examined in vitro. S100 beta TLC were obtained from the peripheral blood of a patient with S100 beta-positive T-cell leukemia and enriched by an E-rosetting method. Two dimensional flow cytometric analysis indicated that the vast majority of the E-positive fraction were S100 beta TLC expressing CD3 and CD8 antigens. Although S100 beta TLC expressed CD3 antigen, they were negative for the alpha/beta and gamma/delta T-cell antigen receptor (TCR) defined by monoclonal antibodies (mabs) WT-31 and delta TCS-1, respectively. It was speculated that S100 beta TLC initially expressed alpha/beta TCR but lost it during malignant transformation. When S100 beta TLC were cultured for 24 h, they acquired cytotoxic activity towards various NK-sensitive cell lines including K-562, Molt-3 and CEM-CCLF, but did not exhibit lysing activity towards NK-resistant cell lines including Raji, Daudi and MT-1. Despite the NK-activity of cultured S100 beta TLC, they lacked the morphological features of large granular lymphocytes (LGL). S100 beta TLC did not exhibit lymphokine-activated killer (LAK) activity. When S100 beta TLC were cocultivated with NK-sensitive cells or NK-resistant cells, they selectively bound to NK-sensitive cells, indicating that they lysed target cells by cell-to-cell contact. The finding that S100 beta TLC lacked TCR molecules and their NK activity was not inhibited by mabs reactive with the CD3-TCR complex indicated that the CD3-TCR complex was not involved in their target recognition.(ABSTRACT TRUNCATED AT 250 WORDS) 相似文献

Neutrophil migration from the blood to inflammatory sites follows a cascade of events, in which adhesion to endothelial cells and extracellular matrix proteins is essential. S100A8, S100A9, and S100A12 are small abundant proteins found in human neutrophil cytosol and presumed to be involved in leukocyte migration. Here we investigated the S100 proteins' activities in neutrophil tissue migration by evaluating their effects on neutrophil adhesion to certain extracellular matrix proteins. S100A9 induced adhesion only to fibronectin and was the only S100 protein that stimulated neutrophil adhesion to this extracellular matrix protein. Experiments with blocking antibodies revealed that neither beta1 nor beta3 integrins were strongly involved in neutrophil adhesion to fibronectin, contrary to what the literature predicted. In contrast, neutrophil adhesion to fibronectin was completely inhibited by anti-beta2 integrins, suggesting that S100A9-induced specific activation of beta2 integrin is essential to neutrophil adhesion. 相似文献

Two major components of human brain S100 fraction were purified by HPLC and an amino acid sequence was elucidated for the S100 beta component. Human S100 proteins showed absorption spectra and amino acid compositions similar to S100 alpha and S100 beta from bovine brain. However, the relative amounts of the human proteins were 4% S100 alpha and 96% S100 beta by weight, while the bovine protein distribution was 47% S100 alpha and 53% S100 beta by weight. An amino acid sequence of human S100 beta was established by analysis of overlapping fragments generated by cyanogen bromide and trypsin cleavage. Three amino acid sequence differences between the human and bovine S100 beta were found at residues 7, 62, and 80. These differences were chemically conservative and compatible with minimum single base changes in the codon structures. These results document that S100 beta is a conserved protein among mammals and provide the necessary foundation for current clinical studies. 相似文献

A study using monoclonal antibodies was made to evaluate the immunohistochemical localization of S-100 protein subunits alpha and beta in a total of 41 mixed tumours and adenomas of sweat gland origin. Normal eccrine glands showed positive staining for S-100 alpha in the secretory portion and in epithelial cells located in the transitional area from the coiled duct to the intraepidermal duct, as well as granular deposition of S-100 beta at the luminal surface of the secretory coil and duct. The myoepithelial cells were negative for S-100 alpha and beta. In mixed tumours, the tumour cells were round or oval in shape and displayed markedly positive staining for S-100 alpha and slightly positive or negative staining for S-100 beta. S-100 alpha staining in clear cell tumours was typically more intense than in any other sweat gland tumour. It is possible that clear cell tumours may arise from the transitional area of sweat glands. Spindle cell tumours displayed on abundance of S-100 alpha subunits but little S-100 beta. Occasional spindle cells located in the outer layer of tubular structures within tumours gave positive S-100 alpha staining. This result was different from that seen in pleomorphic salivary adenomas. Cells having undergone chondroidal changes revealed a positive S-100 reaction. 相似文献

Synthesis and expression of a gene coding for the calcium-modulated protein S100 beta and designed for cassette-based, site-directed mutagenesis 总被引:3,自引:0,他引:3

As an initial step in studies aimed at addressing the question of what common and unique features of the S100 family of proteins are related to their specific functions and localizations, a gene coding for one of the S100 proteins, S100 beta, has been prepared by ligation of 12 overlapping, synthetic oligonucleotides. Automated DNA sequence analysis demonstrated that the final construct has the expected structure. The gene was inserted into a plasmid vector that contains a tac promoter and ampicillin-resistance gene, thus allowing both amplification and direct expression cloning in Escherichia coli. The gene was designed to allow rapid, efficient changes of single or multiple amino acids by using cassette-based mutagenesis while the gene is resident in the vector. The expressed protein (VUSB-1) is indistinguishable from bovine brain S100 beta in terms of electrophoretic mobility, reactivity with antibodies to S100 beta, amino acid composition, and partial amino acid sequence analysis. Preparations of expressed protein are also functionally similar to bovine brain S100 beta as determined by aldolase activator activity and neurite extension factor activity, supporting the concept that these activities are a property of the S100 beta polypeptide. 相似文献

The phenotypic effects of selectively decreasing the levels of S100 beta in cultured glial cells were analyzed. Two separate antisense approaches were utilized for inhibition of S100 beta production: analysis of clonal isolates of rat C6 glioma cells containing an S100 beta antisense gene under the control of a dexamethasone-inducible promoter, and analysis of C6 cells treated with S100 beta antisense oligodeoxynucleotides. Both antisense methods resulted in a decrease in S100 beta levels in the cell, as measured by RIA. The inhibition of S100 beta production correlated with three alterations in cellular phenotype: (a) a flattened cell morphology; (b) a more organized microfilament network; and (c) a decrease in cell growth rate. The studies describe here provide direct evidence for an involvement of S100 beta in glial cell structure and function, and suggest potential in vivo roles for S100 beta in regulation of glial cell morphology, cytoskeletal organization, and cell proliferation. 相似文献

Growth factors, including fibroblast growth factor-2 (FGF-2) and transforming growth factor-beta (TGF-beta) regulate fibroblast function, differentiation and proliferation. S100A8 and S100A9 are members of the S100 family of Ca2+-binding proteins and are now accepted as markers of inflammation. They are expressed by keratinocytes and inflammatory cells in human/murine wounds and by appropriately activated macrophages, endothelial cells, epithelial cells and keratinocytes in vitro. In this study, regulation and expression of S100A8 and S100A9 were examined in fibroblasts. Endotoxin (LPS), interferon gamma (IFNgamma), tumour-necrosis factor (TNF) and TGF-beta did not induce the S100A8 gene in murine fibroblasts whereas FGF-2 induced mRNA maximally after 12 h. The FGF-2 response was strongly enhanced and prolonged by heparin. Interleukin-1beta (IL-1beta) alone, or in synergy with FGF-2/heparin strongly induced the gene in 3T3 fibroblasts. S100A9 mRNA was not induced under any condition. Induction of S100A8 in the absence of S100A9 was confirmed in primary fibroblasts. S100A8 mRNA induction by FGF-2 and IL-1beta was partially dependent on the mitogen-activated-protein-kinase pathway and dependent on new protein synthesis. FGF-2-responsive elements were distinct from the IL-1beta-responsive elements in the S100A8 gene promoter. FGF-2-/heparin-induced, but not IL-1beta-induced responses were significantly suppressed by TGF-beta, possibly mediated by decreased mRNA stability. S100A8 in activated fibroblasts was mainly intracytoplasmic. Rat dermal wounds contained numerous S100A8-positive fibroblast-like cells 2 and 4 days post injury; numbers declined by 7 days. Up-regulation of S100A8 by FGF-2/IL-1beta, down-regulation by TGF-beta, and its time-dependent expression in wound fibroblasts suggest a role in fibroblast differentiation at sites of inflammation and repair. 相似文献

S100 beta produced in Escherichia coli from a synthetic gene (Van Eldik, L. J., J. L. Staecker, and F. Winningham-Major. 1988. J. Biol. Chem. 263:7830-7837) stimulates neurite outgrowth and enhances cell maintenance in cultures of embryonic chick cerebral cortex neurons. In control experiments, the neurite extension activity is reduced by preincubation with antibodies made against bovine brain S100 beta. When either of the two cysteines in S100 beta are altered by site-directed mutagenesis, the resultant proteins maintain the overall biochemical properties of S100 beta, but lose both the neurite extension and neuronal survival activities. However, another S100 beta mutant, in which the relative position of one of the two cysteines was changed, had neurotrophic activity similar to that of the unmodified protein. These and other results indicate that (a) specific neurite extension activity and neuronal survival activity are two related activities inherent to the S100 beta molecule; (b) a disulfide-linked form of S100 beta is required for full biological activity, and (c) the relative position of the cysteines can be modified. These data suggest potential in vivo roles for S100 beta in the development and maintenance of neuronal function in the central nervous system, and demonstrate the feasibility of the longer term development of selective pharmacological agents based on the S100 beta structure. 相似文献

A rapid separation method for bovine brain S100 alpha alpha, S100a, and S100b protein using fast protein liquid chromatography on a Mono Q column and its application in preparation of a large amount of S100 alpha alpha protein are described. The conformation of S100 alpha alpha in the metal-free forms as well as in the presence of calcium were studied by UV absorption, circular dichroism, intrinsic fluorescence, sulfhydryl reactivity, and interaction with a hydrophobic fluorescent probe. The alpha-subunit appears to have nearly identical conformation in S100 alpha alpha and S100a protein dimers. We also confirmed that only the alpha-subunit exposes hydrophobic domains to solvent in the presence of calcium and that cysteine residues exposed upon Ca2+ binding to S100 proteins correspond to Cys 85 alpha and Cys 84 beta. Incubation of S100a with calcium and KCl proved that calcium binding to the putative calcium-binding sites (site I alpha, I beta) triggers a time- and temperature-dependent conformational change in the protein structure which decreases the antagonistic effect of KCl on calcium binding to sites II alpha and II beta and provokes subunit exchanges between protein dimers and the emergence of S100 alpha alpha and S100b (beta beta) proteins. Dynamic fluorescence measurements showed that incubating calcium at high S100a protein concentrations (greater than 10(-5) M) induces an apparent slow dimer-monomer equilibrium which might result in total subunit dissociation at lower protein concentrations. The effect of acidic pH on subunit dissociation in S100a protein (Morero, R. D., and Weber, G. (1982) Biochim. Biophys. Acta 703, 231-240) arises from conformational changes in the protein structure that are similar to those induced by Ca2+ incubation. 相似文献

Human teratocarcinoma NT2/D1 cells undergo differentiation into a variety of cell types, including neurons, treated with retinoic acid. In the present study, the concentrations of alpha S-100 and beta S-100 proteins (alpha and beta subunits of S-100 proteins), and three subunits (alpha, beta and gamma) of enolase in NT2/D1 cells were measured using the sensitive enzyme immunoassay method. The concentration of beta S-100 was markedly increased in the cells after treatment with retinoic acid, whereas the concentration of alpha S-100 was undetectably low, indicating that the S-100b (beta beta) protein was induced by retinoic acid. On the other hand, the concentrations of the three forms of enolase isozymes did not change in the same culture. The induction of S-100b protein was not observed in the NT2/D1 cells after treatment with forskolin, dibutyryl cyclic AMP or cholera toxin. The indirect double-labeled immunofluorescence, using antibodies specific to beta S-100 and monoclonal antibodies specific to neurofilaments, revealed that both the S-100b protein and the neurofilaments were induced in the same subpopulation of cells which underwent neuronal differentiation. 相似文献

Homozygous APPV717F transgenic mice overexpress a human beta-amyloid precursor protein (betaAPP) minigene encoding a familial Alzheimer's disease mutation. These mice develop Alzheimer-type neuritic beta-amyloid plaques surrounded by astrocytes. S100beta is an astrocyte-derived cytokine that promotes neurite growth and promotes excessive expression of betaAPP. S100beta overexpression in Alzheimer's disease correlates with the proliferation of betaAPP-immunoreactive neurites in beta-amyloid plaques. We found age-related increases in tissue levels of both betaAPP and S100beta mRNA in transgenic mice. Neuronal betaAPP overexpression was found in cell somas in young mice, whereas older mice showed betaAPP overexpression in dystrophic neurites in plaques. These age-related changes were accompanied by progressive increases in S100beta expression, as determined by S100beta load (percent immunoreactive area). These increases were evident as early as 1 and 2 months of age, months before the appearance of beta-amyloid deposits in these mice. Such precocious astrocyte activation and S100beta overexpression are similar to our earlier findings in Down's syndrome. Accelerated age-related overexpression of S100beta may interact with age-associated overexpression of mutant betaAPP in transgenic mice to promote development of Alzheimer-like neuropathological changes. 相似文献

Reduction in S100 protein beta subunit mRNA in C6 rat glioma cells following treatment with anti-microtubular drugs 总被引:3,自引:0,他引:3

S100 protein is a calcium-binding protein found in vertebrate nervous tissue. Synthesis of S100 protein in the rat glioma cell line, C6, is inhibited by the addition of anti-microtubular drugs. We have cloned a cDNA for the beta subunit of S100 protein from rat brain in a lambda gt 11 expression vector and used this cDNA to measure the amounts of S100 beta subunit mRNA in C6 cells after treatment with anti-microtubular drugs. Levels of alpha-tubulin and beta-actin mRNAs were also measured. All measurements were performed using RNA-RNA hybridization techniques at high stringency with rat mRNA-specific probes. After 24 h of treatment, the S100 beta subunit mRNA was reduced to levels of 25% by colchicine and 32% by vinblastine when compared to untreated controls. In contrast, the levels of tubulin and actin mRNAs were only slightly changed by these treatments. These studies demonstrate that disruption of the microtubular cytoskeleton causes a specific reduction in the level of S100 protein mRNA in C6 cells. 相似文献

The conditions used in some immunoblot procedures can fail to detect calmodulin, S100 proteins, and other proteins with similar physical properties. We describe here some of the basis of this difficulty, and provide an immunoblot protocol that allows the rapid and reproducible detection of calmodulin and S100 beta in crude biological samples. These proteins are rapidly transferred from sodium dodecyl sulfate-polyacrylamide gels to membrane matrices, and retention on the matrix is enhanced by a glutaraldehyde fixation step. Either nitrocellulose or a positively charged membrane filter (ZetaProbe) can be used as the immobilizing matrix. By combining microslab gel electrophoresis, 30 min electrophoretic transfer, and glutaraldehyde fixation of nitrocellulose paper, an immunoblot analysis can be done in an 8-hr day. 相似文献

Zn2+ and Ca2+ affect the conformation of bovine brain S100b (beta beta) protein and the exposure of its Cys-84 beta. Zn2+ binding to high-affinity sites of native S100b protected the sulfhydryl groups against the thiol-specific reagent 5,5'-dithiobis(2-nitrobenzoate) and antagonized the Ca2+-stimulated reactivity of Cys-84 beta toward the reagent. Spectroscopic studies on the fluorescence properties of labeled S100b with the fluorescent probes bimane and acrylodan at Cys-84 beta confirmed the antagonistic effect of Ca2+ and Zn2+ with respect to the conformational properties of the protein. Measurements of fluorescence dynamics on bimane-labeled S100b indicated that the slow monomer-dimer equilibrium that characterizes the apoprotein at micromolar concentrations was shifted to the monomer form in the presence of Zn2+, a fact that could explain the previously reported Zn2+-dependent increase of S100b protein affinity for calcium. The difference in the effects of Ca2+ and Zn2+ on the reactivity of Cys-84 beta in S100b was confirmed when we observed that Ca2+ and Zn2+ have opposite actions on the formation of disulfide bridges between Cys-84 beta of the S100b beta-subunit and sulfhydryl groups on the microtubule-associated tau(2) protein. Ca2+ stimulated the covalent complex formation whereas Zn2+ inhibited it. We suggest that Zn2+ may have a modulatory function on Cys-84 beta reactivity in the S100b beta-subunit in vivo. Two types of divalent complexes between tau(2) and beta-subunit were formed in the presence of Ca2+, an equimolar complex tau(2)-beta 1 and a complex of one molecule of tau(2) with two beta-subunits, tau(2)-beta 2.(ABSTRACT TRUNCATED AT 250 WORDS) 相似文献
