Highly purified human erythroid colony-forming cells (ECFC), which consist predominately of colony-forming units-erythroid (CFU-E), were prepared from human blood and used to study the binding and processing of erythropoietin (Ep). When radioiodinated human recombinant Ep (125I-rEp) was incubated with these cells, binding was specific and saturable. Specific binding was directly proportional to cell concentration and did not occur with other human cells. Saturation of specific binding at 3 degrees C occurred at 1 nM (3.9/U/ml), and Scatchard analysis revealed two classes of binding sites on the cell surface. Of a total of 1,050 binding sites per ECFC, one-fifth had a Kd of 0.10 nM, while the remainder had a Kd of 0.57 nM. Specific binding was twofold greater at 37 degrees C than at 3 degrees C, and removal of surface-bound Ep with acid indicated that 125I-rEp was internalized into the cells after incubation at 37 degrees C. Further incubation at this temperature showed a decline of cellular radioactivity, with a release of small molecular weight degradation fragments into the medium. These studies demonstrate two classes of receptors for Ep on normal human ECFC. Internalization and degradation of EP occur, and the biologic effect of the hormone is produced by a small number of Ep molecules, as demonstrated in murine erythroid progenitor cells.  相似文献

The disappearance of vasoactive-intestinal-peptide (VIP) binding sites at the cell surface of a cultured target cell, originating from a human colonic adenocarcinoma (HT 29 cell line), was studied, after preexposition of the cell to the peptide, as a function of time, VIP concentration and temperature. Maximum effect (60-80% loss of binding capacity) was obtained after a 5-10 min exposure of the cells at 37 degrees C with a VIP concentration of 100 nM. The t1/2 of maximum disappearance was less than 2 min and the concentration of native VIP giving half-maximum decrease in 125I-VIP binding was 6 nM. The affinity of remaining binding sites for VIP was not affected compared to that of control cells (Kd = 0.3 nM). Disappearance of VIP binding sites was specific since, with the same conditions of preincubation, the specific binding of 125I-labeled epidermal growth factor to HT 29 cells was not modified. The phenomenon was reversible and 90% of binding capacity could be restored in less than 60 min by incubating cells in VIP-free medium. Correlatively we showed, by two independent experimental procedures, that 125I-VIP, initially bound to HT 29 cells, was maximally internalized after 10 min of incubation at 37 degrees C. All the data strongly suggest that: internalization of VIP is receptor-mediated; upon exposure to native VIP, VIP receptors are down-regulated or at least sequestered within HT 29 cells.  相似文献

The uptake of radio-labeled hemoglobin-haptoglobin complex (Hb-Hp) by human hepatoma PLC/PRF/5 and HepG2 cells was investigated in an attempt to characterize the uptake process and intracellular transport. Human hepatoma cells took up Hb-Hp in a receptor-mediated manner. Scatchard analysis of binding revealed that PLC/PRF/5 and HepG2 cells exhibited about 21,000 and 63,000 haptoglobin receptors/cell, with a dissociation constant (Kd) of 8.0 and 17 nM, respectively. Human hepatocytes in primary culture also expressed about 84,000 receptors/cells, with a Kd of 7.4 nM. The hemoglobin-haptoglobin complex was internalized and subsequently the internalized Hb-Hp was slowly degraded in the cells. Preincubation of the cells with Hb-Hp resulted in a decrease in binding of the radioactive Hb-Hp to the cell surface, and was accompanied with an accumulation of intracellular receptors. The uptake of Hb-Hp by the cells was not inhibited by 100 microM chloroquine or by 10 mM methylamine, but was inhibited by 50 microM monodansylcadaverine. Hemoglobin-heme taken up by the cells induced microsomal heme oxygenase. Thus, human hepatoma PLC/PRF/5 and HepG2 cells can take up Hb-Hp by haptoglobin receptor-mediated endocytosis and Hb-Hp probably causes translocation of the haptoglobin receptors from the cell surface to the cell interior where they can be degraded. The internalized heme-moiety of hemoglobin can regulate the expression of heme oxygenase.  相似文献

The mechanism of internalization of the vasopressin-receptor (V2-subtype) of LLC-PK1-cells, a pig renal tubular cell line, is unknown. We studied internalization utilizing a novel, highly specific vasopressin analogue ((125I)-[8-p(OH)-phenylpropionyl]-LVP, 2000 Ci/mmol). Scatchard analysis performed with membranes of LLC-PK1-cells revealed a Kd of 0.8 +/- 0.2 nM and a Bmax of 366 +/- 41 fmol/mg of protein. Degradation of the ligand was excluded by RP-HPLC-analysis. Internalization was proven by the acid-wash technique, quantitative light-microscopic autoradiography and electron microscopy. The ligand was internalized in a time- and temperature-dependent manner. At 4 degrees C, no uptake was found; at 22 degrees C, after 30 min of incubation, more than 50% of the radioligand was found inside the cell. Electron microscopy demonstrated that plasma-membrane bound vasopressin receptors are internalized by receptor-mediated endocytosis via coated pits.  相似文献

To characterize the receptor(s) for human hepatocyte growth factor (hHGF), a physiological hepatotrophic factor involved in liver regeneration following hepatic injury, recombinant hHGF (rhHGF) was radioiodinated. The labeled rhHGF retained its full biological activity on adult rat hepatocytes in primary culture. The specific binding of [125I]iodo-rhHGF to hepatocytes reached a plateau within 240 min at 4 degrees C. Scatchard plot analysis of the binding data suggested the presence of two classes of high affinity binding sites for [125I]iodo-rhHGF. One of the sites had a dissociation constant (Kd) of about 4.6 pM with 300 sites/cell and the other has a Kd of about 275 pM with 15,160 sites/cell. Unlabeled rhHGF displaced cell surface-bound [125I]iodo-rhHGF in a dose-dependent manner as did native hHGF purified from plasma of patients with fulminant hepatic failure. However, other growth factors to rat hepatocytes in primary culture such as insulin and human epidermal growth factor, and proteins which have high amino acid sequence-homology to hHGF such as plasminogen and prothrombin, did not compete with [125I]iodo-rhHGF in the binding, which suggests the binding was specific to hHGF. Covalent cross-linking experiment of [125I]iodo-rhHGF to cell surface receptor(s) on hepatocytes showed there were two macromolecular species with apparent molecular weights of 330,000 and 230,000. Unlabeled rhHGF and native hHGF competed for the binding of [125I]iodo-rhHGF to the two macromolecular species, but insulin, human epidermal growth factor, plasminogen, and prothrombin did not. Based upon our estimated molecular weight of rhHGF = 84,000, these results suggest that hHGF specifically binds to two polypeptides of 246,000 and 146,000 daltons which are likely to represent the hHGF receptors of primary cultured rat hepatocytes.  相似文献

A study of the binding of three different 125I-labeled, galactose-terminated ligands to the hepatic galactose/N-acetylgalactosamine-specific lectin found on the surface of rabbit hepatocytes revealed that the different ligands manifest different physical parameters of binding. Asialoorosomucoid (125I-ASOR) binding was best described as involving two independent classes of binding sites on rabbit hepatocytes, with 161 000 sites/cell with a dissociation constant of 0.44 nM and 292 000 sites/cell with a Kd of 9.7 nM. Asialotriantennary glycopeptide purified from human alpha-1 protease inhibitor and modified with tyrosine at the N-terminus to permit radioiodination (TRI) [Lee, Y. C., Townsend, R. R., Hardy, M. R., L?nngren, J., Arnarp, J., Haraldsson, M., & L?nn, H. (1983) J. Biol. Chem. 258, 199-202] was also found to bind to two apparent classes of binding sites but with different binding parameters: 292 000 sites/cell of Kd = 1.47 nM and 982 000 sites/cell of Kd = 25.3 nM. A synthetic ligand, alpha,beta-diaspartamide of tris[(beta-lactosyloxy)methyl](6-aminohexanamido)methane (di-tris-lac) containing six nonreducing galactose residues [Lee, R. T., Lin, P., & Lee, Y. C. (1984) Biochemistry 23, 4255-4261], was found to bind to 817 000 sites/cell of Kd = 0.63 nM and 1.23 X 10(6) sites/cell of Kd = 25.3 nM. Thus, there were many more total binding sites for TRI or di-tris-lac on the surface of rabbit hepatocytes than there were for asialoorosomucoid, although the dissociation constants were similar for all three ligands.(ABSTRACT TRUNCATED AT 250 WORDS)  相似文献

Chicken muscle AMP aminohydrolase is cleared from the circulation of chickens after intravenous injection of the purified enzyme with a half-life of 3-5 min (Husic, H.D., and Suelter, C.H. (1980) Biochem. Biophys. Res. Commun. 95, 228-235). The enzyme is not inactivated before clearance, the clearance is inhibited by sulfated polysaccharides, and the enzyme is cleared primarily by the spleen and the parenchymal cells of the liver where it is internalized and degraded in lysosomes (Husic, H.D., and Suelter, C.H. (1984) J. Biol. Chem. 259, 4359-4364). The binding of AMP aminohydrolase to hepatocyte monolayers in vitro at 4 degrees C is saturable with a dissociation constant of 11.3 X 10(-8) M; there are 2.6 X 10(6) AMP aminohydrolase binding sites/hepatocyte. The interaction of the enzyme with hepatocyte monolayers is inhibited by sulfated polysaccharides, effectors of its enzymatic activity and high salt concentrations; various monosaccharides had little effect on the binding of the enzyme to hepatocyte monolayers. Heparitinase treatment of hepatocyte monolayers abolished 77% of the binding of the enzyme. Heparin promotes the dissociation of 125I-labeled or [14C]sucrose-labeled enzyme bound to the cell surface; radioactivity which is not dissociated by heparin is assumed to be internalized at 37 degrees C. Low molecular weight 125I-labeled degradation products are released into the media with time when the 125I-labeled enzyme, bound to hepatocytes at 4 degrees C, is incubated at 37 degrees C; when [14C]sucrose-labeled enzyme is incubated with hepatocytes at 37 degrees C, low molecular weight 14C-labeled degradation products are not released into the media but instead accumulate in the cells. The half-life for internalization of the bound enzyme based on this rate of accumulation is 0.77 h. These results suggest that glycosaminoglycans are involved in the binding of AMP aminohydrolase to the hepatocyte cell surface and that the bound enzyme is internalized and degraded.  相似文献

The regulation of interleukin 1 (IL 1) receptor expression on a human large granular lymphocyte cell line, YT, and fate of internalized 125I-labeled IL 1 beta (125I-IL 1 beta) were studied. YT cells were selected for this study, because this cell line expresses a large number of specific high-affinity receptor for IL 1, responds biologically to exogenously added IL 1 by expressing high-affinity IL 2 receptors, and does not produce IL 1. YT cells constitutively express approximately 7 X 10(3) IL 1 receptors/cell with a Kd approximately 10(-10) M. Neither IL 2, phorbol myristic acid, nor lipopolysaccharide affected the total binding of 125I-IL 1 beta by YT cells. In contrast, the capacity of YT cells to bind 125I-IL 1 beta when incubated at 37 degrees C for 3 to 16 hr with a low dose of purified IL 1 beta (approximately 6 U/ml) was reduced by greater than 80%. The loss of binding capability gradually recovered by 16 hr after removal of IL 1 beta from cultured YT cells. The apparent loss of IL 1 receptor expression was accompanied by the internalization of 125I-IL 1 beta into cells. Acid treatment of YT cells to remove bound 125I-IL 1 beta at 4 degrees C showed that 50% of the 125I-IL 1 beta bound to cells could no longer be recovered after 30 min at 37 degrees C, and this increased to 80% after 3 hr at 37 degrees C. Fractionation of cell extracts on Percoll gradient additionally showed 125I-IL 1 beta to appear intracellularly after receptor binding on plasma membranes, and to be successively transferred to some membranous organelles (d approximately equal to 1.037) through an intermediate density organelle (d approximately equal to 1.050), and to finally end up in lysosomal cell fractions (d approximately equal to 1.05 to 1.08) after approximately 3 hr at 37 degrees C. Only approximately 5% of internalized 125I-IL 1 beta was released into culture media by 6 hr of incubation at 37 degrees C. However, the radioactivity in the TCA soluble fraction of the culture media increased gradually by 6 hr and a lysosomotropic enzyme, ethylamine, significantly inhibited both the transfer of internalized 125I-IL 1 beta to the lysosomal fraction and the degradation of 125I-IL 1 beta. This study represents the first evidence of autoregulation of IL 1 receptors by IL 1 and internalization of IL 1 molecules after binding to receptors.(ABSTRACT TRUNCATED AT 400 WORDS)  相似文献

The binding of labeled erythropoietin (EP) to cell surface receptors and subsequent processing of the hormone within the cell was studied in erythroid cells procured from the spleens of mice infected with the anemia strain of Friend virus. These immature erythroid cells respond to EP in culture to differentiate into reticulocytes and erythrocytes. Radiolabeled EP (both iodinated and tritiated) binds to 800-1000 cell surface receptors on these cells at 4 degrees C. Using 125I-EP, we found that 300 of these cell surface receptors have a higher affinity for EP (Kd = 0.09 nM) than the remaining receptors (Kd = 0.57 nM). The number of molecules of EP bound per cell increased about 2-fold when binding was carried out at 37 degrees C. Treatment of the cell surface with pronase or removal of surface-bound EP with a low pH wash revealed that radiolabeled EP is internalized by the cells at 37 degrees C. Pulse chase experiments showed that degradation products of radiolabeled EP are released into the medium with a corresponding loss of label from the interior of the cell. Inhibitors of lysosomal function greatly reduced this degradation of 125I-EP. Since 180 of the 300 high affinity receptors and very few of the low affinity receptors are occupied at the concentration of EP which elicits the maximum biological response in these cells, we suggest that interaction of EP with the high affinity receptors are necessary for the full biological effect of the hormone. A different murine erythroleukemia cell line which does not differentiate in response to EP was found to have only the lower affinity binding sites for the hormone.  相似文献

Utilizing a proteoliposome reconstitution system, we have purified the rat liver V1 vasopressin receptor to near homogeneity. The receptor was purified approximately 21,000-fold from rat liver membranes, using differential detergent solubilization, size exclusion gel filtration, lectin affinity, and ion-exchange chromatography. The purified receptor exhibits a Kd of 6 nM, when, prior to solubilization, the membranes were exposed to 1 microM vasopressin. This resulted in the association of a pertussis toxin-insensitive guanine nucleotide-binding protein with the receptor during most of the purification procedure. In the absence of this association, the receptor had a Kd of approximately 30 nM. Association of the receptor with a G-protein was confirmed by the ability of vasopressin to stimulate the hydrolysis of [gamma-32P]GTP. The specific activity of the vasopressin-stimulated hydrolysis was 25 nmol/min/mg, approximately 8,000-fold higher than values obtained with crude reconstituted receptor preparations. Cross-linking of 125I-vasopressin to a partially purified preparation of receptor demonstrated that the receptor had a molecular weight of approximately 68,000 under reducing conditions, and 58,000 under nonreducing conditions. The purification procedure may prove useful in purifying a number of small peptide hormone receptors (e.g. bradykinin, angiotensin II) and perhaps their associated G-proteins as well.  相似文献

Relationship among types of nerve growth factor receptors on PC12 cells   总被引:3,自引:0,他引:3  
We analyzed the kinetics and thermodynamics of 125I-nerve growth factor (125I-NGF) binding to NGF-receptor on PC12 cells. We used conditions of pseudo-first order kinetics and techniques to quantitate internalized complexes, "slow" or high affinity binding complexes, and cell surface "fast" or low affinity complexes. Two possible models were examined: binding to two independent receptors at the cell surface (i.e. high and low affinity forms of NGF-receptor) and a model for consecutive formation of fast, low affinity binding followed by slow, high affinity binding or internalization. Our data are consistent with the consecutive model only. The rates of association and dissociation of NGF with slow, high affinity sites and internalized, acid wash-resistant sites are indistinguishable from each other. We also analyzed, in detail, the two assays primarily used to distinguish slow binding complexes from internalized complexes. Scatchard analysis of total binding and dissociation of pre-equilibrated 125I-NGF in the presence of unlabeled NGF at high concentration (cold wash). Neither of these assays shows any evidence that the slow, high affinity binding step is different from internalization of the 125I-NGF-receptor complex. Based on this analysis, there are only two detectable forms of NGF-receptor on PC12 cells: complexes on the surface of the cells with a binding affinity of 0.5 nM at 37 degrees C and complexes internalized by the cells. Furthermore, the data are consistent with a model in which NGF-receptor is internalized constitutively and independently of occupancy by NGF. We also examined the fate of internalized 125I-NGF. In the first 60 min after contact with PC12 cells, no degradation of 125I-NGF was observed. Moreover, a significant amount of 125I-NGF recirculates to the cell surface and is released as intact, Mr = 13,000 NGF. The cells were also stimulated by NGF in a primary neurite outgrowth assay with an ED50 of 2-16 pM under conditions of low initial cell numbers in a large extracellular volume of NGF-containing medium. Thus, low level occupancy of the cell surface receptors, Kd = 0.5 nM, for several days is sufficient to stimulate neurite outgrowth. This indicates the presence of spare NGF-receptors on the surface PC12 cells.  相似文献

Recombinant human single-chain urokinase (rscu-PA), two-chain urokinase (tcu-PA), and diisopropyl-fluorophosphate-treated tcu-PA (DFP-tcu-PA) bound to cultured human and porcine endothelial cells in a rapid, saturable, dose-dependent and reversible manner. Analysis of specific binding results in cultured human umbilical vein endothelial cells (HUVECs) gave the following estimated values for Kd and Bmax: 0.57 +/- 0.08 nM (mean +/- S.E.) and 188,000 +/- 18,000 sites/cell for 125I-labeled rscu-PA; 0.54 +/- 0.10 nM and 132,000 +/- 23,900 sites/cells for 125I-labeled tcu-PA; 0.89 +/- 0.14 nM and 143,000 +/- 30,300 sites/cell for 125I-labeled DFP-tcu-PA, respectively. Values for Kd were similar for primary and subcultured (six passages) HUVECs, but Bmax values were lower in subcultured HUVECs. Similar Kd values were found in cultured porcine endothelial cells; however, Bmax values varied depending on the endothelial cell type. All 125I-labeled urokinase forms yielded similar cross-linked approximately 110-kDa ligand-receptor complexes with cultured HUVECs, and 125I-labeled DFP-tcu-PA bound to a single major approximately 55-kDa protein in whole-cell lysates (ligand blotting/autoradiography), suggesting the presence of a single major approximately 55-kDa urokinase receptor in cultured HUVECs. The approximately 55-kDa urokinase receptor, isolated from several separate batches of cultured HUVECs (3-5 micrograms of protein, approximately 1 x 10(9) cells), by ligand affinity chromatography, exhibited the following properties: retained biologic activity as evidenced by its ability to bind 125I-labeled rscu-PA by ligand blotting/autoradiography and formation of a cross-linked 125I-labeled approximately 110-kDa rscu-PA-receptor complex; single-chain approximately 55-kDa protein, following reduction; complete conversion to and formation of a single major deglycosylated approximately 35-kDa protein, following treatment with N-glycanase.  相似文献

Cultured neural crest cells undergoing differentiation have been shown to contain a subpopulation of cells with specific receptors for nerve growth factor (NGF). These cells are the potential targets of NGF during differentiation and development. This study was done to pharmacologically characterize the binding of NGF to long-term (1- to 3-week) cultures of quail neural crest cells. The data indicate that 125I-NGF binding was specific and saturable, with less than 20% nonspecific binding. Scatchard analysis revealed the presence of one type (class) of receptors with a binding constant (Kd) similar to that of the low-affinity binding site described for embryonic dorsal root and sympathetic ganglia (approximately 3.2 nM). This was corroborated by displacement experiments (Kd of 1.3 nM), in which 125I-NGF binding was measured in the presence of increasing concentrations of nonradioactive NGF. In addition, affinity labeling revealed that the 125I-NGF-receptor complex had a molecular weight of about 93K, characteristic of the low-affinity NGF receptor of PC12 cells. The NGF receptor of cultured neural crest cells was trypsin-sensitive, as is typical of the low-affinity NGF binding sites. These findings indicate that differentiating neural crest cells lack high-affinity 125I-NGF binding sites. In contrast, embryonic dorsal root and sympathetic ganglia cells, known NGF targets, have both high- and low-affinity receptors. Measurements of the differential release of surface-bound 125I-NGF indicated that a relatively small amount (about 14%) of NGF is internalized over a 1-hr period. Cultured neural crest cells which bear NGF receptors were also shown by light microscopic radioautographic techniques to incorporate [3H]thymidine. I suggest, therefore, that cultured neural crest cells which have not terminally differentiated, as judged by morphological criteria and continued proliferation, may express an early developmental form of the NGF receptor.  相似文献

In this study, we characterized and compared the ligand-independent loss of surface galactosyl (Gal) receptor activity on isolated rat hepatocytes treated with monensin, chloroquine, microtubule depolymerizing agents, or NaN3 and NaF at 37 degrees C. Freshly isolated hepatocytes exhibit predominately one subset of surface Gal receptors, termed State 1 receptors (Weigel, P. H., Clarke, B. L., and Oka, J. A. (1986) Biochem. Biophys. Res. Commun. 140, 43-50). During equilibration at 37 degrees C, these cells also express a second subset of Gal receptors at the surface, termed State 2 receptors, and routinely double their total surface Gal receptor activity. Following equilibration at 37 degrees C and then inhibitor treatment, hepatocytes bound 40-60% less 125I-asialoorosomucoid (ASOR) at 4 degrees C than did untreated cells. Treated cells maintained a basal nonmodulated level of surface receptor activity regardless of temperature, perturbant concentration, or incubation time. Loss of surface Gal receptor activity on cells treated with multiple inhibitors simultaneously or sequentially was not additive. Thus, all treatments affected the same subpopulation of surface Gal receptors. None of these inhibitors decreased surface State 1 Gal receptor activity, but all prevented the normal appearance of State 2 Gal receptors on freshly isolated cells during incubation at 37 degrees C. The endocytic capability of residual surface State 1 Gal receptors on inhibitor-treated cells varied depending on the inhibitor. Hepatocytes treated first at 24 degrees C or with colchicine at 37 degrees C internalized greater than 85% of surface-bound 125I-ASOR. In contrast, monensin- or chloroquine-treated cells internalized approximately 50% of surface-bound 125I-ASOR. Azide-treated cells internalized less than 20% of surface-bound 125I-ASOR. We conclude that only surface State 2 Gal receptor activity is sensitive to these various perturbants. State 1 Gal receptor activity is not modulated. These data are consistent with the conclusion that only State 2 Gal receptors constitutively recycle.  相似文献

The stimulation of cyclic GMP accumulation and particulate guanylate cyclase activity by atrial natriuretic peptide (ANP) was compared to the affinity and number of ANP receptors in eight cultured cell types. At 100 nM, ANP increased cyclic GMP by 13-fold in bovine adrenal cortical, 35-fold in human lung fibroblast, 58-fold in canine kidney epithelial, 60-fold in bovine aortic smooth muscle, 120-fold in rat mammary epithelial, 260-fold in rat Leydig, 300-fold in bovine kidney epithelial, and 475-fold in bovine aortic endothelial cells. ANP (1 microM) increased particulate guanylate cyclase activity by 1.5-, 2.5-, 3.1-, 3.2-, 5.0-, 7.0-, 7.8-, and 8.0-fold in bovine adrenal cortical, bovine aortic smooth muscle, human lung fibroblast, canine kidney epithelial, rat mammary epithelial, rat Leydig, bovine kidney epithelial, and bovine aortic endothelial cells, respectively. Specific 125I-ANP binding to intact rat Leydig (3,000 sites/cell; Kd = 0.11 nM), bovine aortic endothelial (14,000 sites/cell; Kd = 0.09 nM), bovine adrenal cortical (50,000 sites/cell; Kd = 0.12 nM), human lung fibroblast (80,000 sites/cell; Kd = 0.32 nM), and bovine aortic smooth muscle (310,000 sites/cell; Kd = 0.82 nM) cells was saturable and high affinity. No specific and saturable ANP binding was detected in bovine and canine kidney epithelial and rat mammary epithelial cells. Two ANP-binding sites of 66,000 and 130,000 daltons were specifically labeled by 125I-ANP after cross-linking with disuccinimidyl suberate. The 130,000-dalton ANP-binding sites bound to a GTP-agarose affinity column, and the specific activity of guanylate cyclase was increased by 90-fold in this fraction. Our results demonstrate that the increase in cyclic GMP accumulation and particulate guanylate cyclase activity by ANP does not correlate with the affinity and number of ANP-binding sites. These results suggest that multiple populations of ANP receptors exist in these cells and that only one receptor subtype (130,000 daltons) is associated with particulate guanylate cyclase activity.  相似文献

An expression plasmid encoding the human 75-kDa tumor necrosis factor (TNF) type 2 receptor (TNF-R2) was constructed and used to generate a stable human cell line (293/TNF-R2) overexpressing TNF-R2. Ligand binding analysis revealed high affinity binding (Kd = 0.2 nM) with approximately 94,000 +/- 7,500 sites/cell for 125I-TNF-alpha and approximately 5-fold lower affinity for TNF-beta (Kd = 1.1 nM) with 264,000 +/- 2,000 sites/cell. Cross-linking of 125I-TNF-alpha and 125I-TNF-beta to 293/TNF-R2 cells yielded predominant complexes with apparent molecular weights of 211,000 for TNF-alpha and 205,000 and 244,000 for TNF-beta, suggesting these complexes contain two or three TNF-R2 molecules. Immunoprecipitation of TNF-R2 from 32P-labeled 293/TNF-R2 cells demonstrated that the receptor is phosphorylated. The majority (97%) of 32Pi incorporation was found in serine residues with a very low level of incorporation (3%) in threonine residues. TNF-alpha treatment of 293/TNF-R2 cells did not significantly affect the degree or pattern of phosphorylation. Cell surface-bound 125I-TNF-alpha was slowly internalized by the 293/TNF-R2 cell line with a t1/2 = 25 min. Shedding of the extracellular domain of TNF-R2 was induced by 4 beta-phorbol 12-myristate 13-acetate but not by TNF-alpha or TNF-beta.  相似文献

Human interleukin 4 (IL-4) specifically induces the low affinity receptor for IgE (Fc epsilon R2/CD23) on the surface of the Burkitt lymphoma cell line Jijoye. At 4 degrees C 125I-IL-4 specifically binds to high affinity receptors (Kd = 4-10 x 10(-11) M; Bmax, 600-1,200 sites/cell). Following a rapid temperature shift from 4 to 37 degrees C, 80% of the receptor-bound 125I-IL-4 disappeared from the cell surface within 20 min (t1/2 = 8.9 min). For every two internalized molecules of IL-4 (t1/2 = 13 min), one molecule of IL-4 dissociated from the cell surface (t1/2 = 25 min). More than 90% of the internalized IL-4 was released in a degraded form into the medium following first order kinetics (t1/2 = 68 min). Internalization was inhibited by cytoskeletal disrupting and lysosomotropic agents. Incubating cells with 1 nM IL-4 resulted in a rapid down-regulation of IL-4 receptors (75% loss after 2 h); a reexpression of receptor to control level occurred after 20 h in spite of the presence of a large excess of IL-4. Reexpression was delayed by chloroquine and blocked by cycloheximide and actinomycin D. By using the cross-linking agent bis(sulfosuccinimidyl)suberate, three polypeptides of Mr 130,000, 80,000, and 70,000 were specifically labeled with 125I-IL-4. These three polypeptides coordinately disappeared and reappeared with the 125I-IL-4 binding sites. The induction of Fc epsilon R2/CD23 required prolonged incubation (greater than 8 h) with IL-4 and thus may be dependent on the reexpression of IL-4 receptor.  相似文献

Receptor-mediated uptake and internalization of transthyretin   总被引:2,自引:0,他引:2  
Evidence of cellular transthyretin (TTR) binding was sought because of the observation that transthyretin can increase the uptake of its hormonal ligand. Transthyretin was bound by human hepatoma (Hep G2) cells in a time- and temperature-dependent manner, reaching equilibrium within 2 h. Scatchard analysis was consistent with a single class of high affinity binding sites with a Kd of approximately 5 nM at 0 and 4 degrees C and 14 nM at 37 degrees C. These dissociation constants are more than 2 orders of magnitude lower than the concentration of transthyretin in human serum. The apparent capacity at 0 degrees C, corrected for internalized TTR, was approximately 20,000 sites/cell. Saturable, high affinity binding of human transthyretin was also demonstrable with rat primary hepatocytes and human renal adenocarcinoma, neuroblastoma, and transformed lung cells. Rat and human transthyretin were equipotent in displacing isotopically labeled, species-specific transthyretin from human hepatoma cells and rat primary hepatocytes, a finding that is consistent with the strong homology between rat and human transthyretin. Eighty-eight percent of the saturable uptake was internalized as determined by proteolytic removal of surface transthyretin. Internalization was dependent on receptor binding and was more markedly inhibited than surface binding at 0 degrees C. Concentrations of thyroxine within a range that saturated a significant proportion of the primary and secondary TTR iodothyronine binding sites increased the uptake and internalization of transthyretin in a dose-dependent manner. By analogy to the function of receptors for other transport proteins, the interaction between transthyretin and its receptor is likely to affect ligand delivery and may have additional metabolic effects.  相似文献

We have used biochemical and morphological techniques to demonstrate that hepatocytes in the perfused liver bind, internalize, and degrade substantial amounts of murine epidermal growth factor (EGF) via a receptor-mediated process. Before ligand exposure, about 300,000 high-affinity receptors were detectable per cell, displayed no latency, and co-distributed with conventional plasma membrane markers. Cytochemical localization using EGF coupled to horseradish peroxidase (EGF-HRP) revealed that the receptors were distributed along the entire sinusoidal and lateral surfaces of hepatocytes. When saturating concentrations of EGF were perfused through a liver at 35 degrees C, ligand clearance was biphasic with a rapid primary phase of 20,000 molecules/min per cell that dramatically changed at 15-20 min to a slower secondary phase of 2,500 molecules/min per cell. During the primary phase of uptake, approximately 250,000 molecules of EGF and 80% of the total functional receptors were internalized into endocytic vesicles which could be separated from enzyme markers for plasma membranes and lysosomes on sucrose gradients. The ligand pathway was visualized cytochemically 2-25 min after EGF-HRP internalization and a rapid transport from endosomes at the periphery to those in the Golgi apparatus-lysosome region was observed (t 1/2 approximately equal to 7 min). However, no 125I-EGF degradation was detected for at least 20 min. Within 30 min after EGF addition, a steady state was reached which lasted up to 4 h such that (a) the rate of EGF clearance equaled the rate of ligand degradation (2,500 molecules/min per cell); (b) a constant pool of undegraded ligand was maintained in endosomes; and (c) the number of accessible (i.e., cell surface) receptors remained constant at 20% of initial values. By 4 h hepatocytes had internalized and degraded 3 and 2.3 times more EGF, respectively, than the initial number of available receptors, even in the presence of cycloheximide and without substantial loss of receptors. All of these results suggest that EGF receptors are internalized and that their rate of recycling to the surface from intracellular sites is governed by the rate of entry of ligand and/or receptor into lysosomes.  相似文献

To visualize cell surface V1a vasopressin receptors in rat hepatocytes in the absence of receptor-mediated endocytosis, we used a high-affinity fluorescent linear antagonist, Rhm8-PVA. Epifluorescence microscopy (3CCD camera) and fluorescence spectroscopy were used. Rhm8-PVA alone did not stimulate Ca2+ signals and competitively blocked Ca2+ signals (Kinact of 3.0 nM) evoked by arginine vasopressin (vasopressin). When rat hepatocytes were incubated with 10 nM of Rhm8-PVA for 30 min at 4C, the fluorescent antagonist bound to the surface of cells, presumably the plasma membrane. The V1a receptor specificity of Rhm8-PVA binding was confirmed by its displacement by the nonfluorescent antagonist V4253 and by the natural hormone vasopressin at 4C. Prior vasopressin-mediated endocytosis of V1a receptors at 37C abolished binding of the labeled antagonist, whereas in non-preincubated cells, Rhm8-PVA labeled the cell surface of rat hepatocytes. When cells labeled with Rhm8-PVA at 4C were warmed to 37C to initiate receptor-mediated internalization of the fluorescent complex, Rhm8-PVA remained at the cell surface. Incubation temperature at 4C or 37C had little effect on binding of Rhm8-PVA. We conclude that Rhm8-PVA is unable to evoke receptor-mediated endocytosis and can readily be used to visualize cell surface receptors in living cells.  相似文献
