Abstract: Compositions of neutral and sulfated glucuronyl glycosphingolipids purified from human motor and sensory nerves and myelins were studied. Higher neutral glycosphingolipids (fraction B), which were separated from GazlCer (fraction A), were analyzed by TLC and TLC-immunostaining. Both nerve myelins contained paragloboside (nLc4 Cer) and nLc6 Cer dominantly as major higher glycosphingolipids and very little globoside (Gb4 Cer), whereas both nerves contained Gb4 Cer and nLc4 Cer. Besides these major glycosphingolipids, a neutral glycolipid containing asialoGMI (Gg4 Cer) epitope and other minor components such as ceramide trihexoside and ceramide dihexoside were detected in both nerves and their myelins. Furthermore, sulfated glucuronyl nLc4 Cer and n Lc6 Cer, which were monoclonal antibody HNK-1 reactive glycolipids, were detected in both nerves and myelins. 相似文献

Influenza A and Sendai viruses are known to bind to various extent to neolacto-series gangliosides IV3Neu5Ac-nLcOse4Cer, IV6Neu5Ac-nLcOsc4Cer, and VI3Neu5Ac-nLcOse6Cer, which are the dominant gangliosides of human granulocytes. Recently, minor gangliosides of granulocytes were characterized and found to express sialyl Lewis* and VIM-2 epitopes. These long chain linear monosialogangliosides with nLcOse8, and nLcOse10, cores, carrying one to three fucoses, are shown in this study to bind with strong avidity to influenza A/PR/8/34 (H1N1), A/X-31 (H3N2), and Sendai virus (Z-strain) using the overlay technique. These and recent data from other groups imply that selectins and virus hemagglutinins are capable of competing with lipid bound sialyl Lewisx and VIM-2 epitopes on myeloid cells during inflammatory reactions. 相似文献

Abstract: Our studies of bovine brain neutral glycosphingolipids (Ngsls) have revealed the presence of several short-chain (containing -CHO 1–4) and previously uncharacterized long-chain (−CHO > 4–5) Ngsls. We reported the structural characterization of brain GgOse4 Cer (GA1) and have now purified another brain Ngsl to homogeneity. The purified Ngsl migrated close to standard GgOse4 Cer and nLcOse5 Cer on a TLC plate employing two different solvent systems. The carbohydrate molar composition indicated the presence of Gal/Glc/GalNAc in a ratio of 2.8:1.0:0.9. Five permethylated alditol acetate peaks were characterized as 2,3,4,6-OMe4 Gal, 2,4,6-OMe3 Gal, 2,3,6-OMe3 Gal, 2,3,6-OMe3 Glc, and 4,6-OMe2 GalNAcMe by gas chromatography-mass spectrometry. The anomeric carbohydrate sequence has been determined by specific exoglycosidase digestion. Six-hundred megahertz 1 H NMR spectroscopy of the oligosaccharide released by ceramide glycanase hydrolysis confirmed the structure of the Ngsl as Galβ1-3GalNAcβ1-3Galα1-4Galβ1-4Glc\1-1Cer or IV3 GalGbOse4 Cer. Using the immunooverlay technique with anti-stage-specific embryonic antigen 3 antibody, it was found in bovine, rat, and normal adult human brain and bovine myelin, but not in human or rat myelin. 相似文献

Episialin, which is found on the apical membrane of human endometrial epithelium, has been postulated to act as an antiadhesive factor through the steric hindrance generated by its extensively glycosylated structure. The present studies were designed to test this hypothesis in an in vitro model of endometrial-blastocyst attachment. Episialin was expressed in human endometrial carcinoma cells (HEC-1A > RL95-2), and attachment of JAr choriocarcinoma cells to the endometrial cell monolayers was inversely related to episialin expression. Treatment of endometrial monolayers with type III sialidase increased JAr binding, and this increase was suppressed by HMFG1, a monoclonal antibody specific for episialin. The effects of sialidase appear to have resulted from a contaminant protease rather than from a loss of sialic acid residues, because sialidase preparations other than type III were ineffective. After sialidase treatment, conditioned medium from cells treated with type III sialidase contained more episialin than medium from cells treated with other sialidase preparations. Similar attachment-assay results were obtained using O-sialoglycoprotein endopeptidase; after treatment, the increase in JAr binding (>50%) was suppressed by the antiepisialin antibody. These results demonstrate for the first time that episialin acts as an antiadhesive agent in a model of human endometrial-blastocyst attachment. 相似文献

The link between inflammation and colorectal carcinoma has been acknowledged. However, the impact of bacterial lipopolysaccharide (LPS) binding to Toll-like receptor 4 (TLR4) on chemokine receptors in human colorectal carcinoma cells still remains to be elucidated. The present study shows that exposure to LPS elevated CXC chemokine receptor 7 (CXCR7) expression in colorectal carcinoma SW480 and Colo 205 cell lines expressing TLR4/myeloid differential protein (MD-2). CXCR7 is associated with SW480 cell proliferation and migration. However, exposure of SW480 and Colo 205 cells to LPS had no effect on CXCR4 expression. To further support the above results, the expression of TLR4, MD-2, and CXCR7 was analyzed in human colorectal carcinoma tissues. Higher rates of TLR4 (53%), MD-2 (70%), and CXCR7 (29%) expression were found in colorectal carcinoma tissues than in normal tissues. We demonstrated that the recombination of TLR4, MD-2 and CXCR7 strongly correlated with tumor size, lymph node metastasis and distant metastasis in colorectal carcinoma tissue samples (p = 0.037, p = 0.002, p = 0.042, resp.). Accordingly, simultaneous examination of the expression of TLR4, MD-2 and CXCR7 in cancer tissues of colorectal carcinoma may provide valuable prognostic diagnosis of carcinoma growth and metastasis. Interplay of TLR4, MD-2 and CXCR7 may be of interest in the context of novel immunomodulatory therapies for colorectal carcinoma. 相似文献

Here, we investigated the possible anti-cancer properties of bromelain in Kras mutant human colorectal carcinoma cell lines and a mouse model harboring a Kras mutation. Cell growth and proliferation were significantly reduced in the Kras mutant colorectal carcinoma cell lines following treatment with 50?μg/mL bromelain as assessed by crystal violet staining and a proliferation assay. To identify the molecules responsible for this action, the expression levels of genes involved in signaling pathways and miRNAs were analyzed by real-time PCR. Among the genes tested, down-regulation of ACSL-4 and up-regulation of miRNAs targeting ASCL-4 were observed in Caco2 cells. Compared to the Kras wild-type colorectal carcinoma cell lines, Kras mutant colorectal carcinoma cell lines exhibited a remarkably up-regulated expression of ACSL-4, which is responsible for ferroptosis sensitivity. Moreover, the knockdown of ACSL-4 by a specific shRNA inhibited erastin-induced ferroptosis in Kras mutant DLD-1 cells as assessed by propidium iodide staining and lipid reactive oxygen species measurement. Our findings indicate that bromelain effectively exerts cytotoxic effects in Kras mutant colorectal cancer cells compared to in Kras wild-type colorectal cancer cells. Differential expression of ACSL-4 is responsible for the differential action of bromelain in regulating ferroptotic cell death. 相似文献

Abstract: In order to understand the etiology of Type AB GM2 gangliosidosis, we have purified and characterized the activator protein (GM2 activator) specific for the enzymic hydrolysis of GM2 ganglioside from normal human brain. The purified activator from human brain moved as one major protein band in various electrophoretic systems. We have also prepared the antiserum against this activator. The levels and the nature of GM2 activator and β-hexosaminidase A were examined in the brains of five cases of GM2 . gangliosidosis—one Type B, two Type O, and two Type AB. We found that the levels of GM2 activator in both Type B and Type O cases were markedly elevated, and that the two Type AB cases were the results of different causes. One case had a defective β hexosaminidase A and an elevated level of GM2 activator. Although this defective β-hexosaminidase A could hydrolyze synthetic substrates, it was inactive in the cleavage of natural glycosphingolipids in the presence of the GM2 activator. It could, however, hydrolyze asialo-GM2 and GbOse4 Cer in the presence of sodium taurodeoxycholate. The other case had normal β-hexosaminidase A, but had a very low level of GM2 activator when analyzed by in vitro assay, suggesting the deficiency of this activator. By immunoelectrophoresis, this case was found to be completely devoid of the protein that cross-reacts with the antiserum against the GM2 activator. 相似文献

Chemical investigations of a culture broth from the endophytic fungus Eupenicillium sp. afforded the new modified dipeptide trichodermamide C 1. The structure of 1 was established following the analysis of NMR, UV, IR, MS and X-ray diffraction data. Trichodermamide C was shown by high content screening to display cytotoxicity towards the human colorectal carcinoma HCT116 and human lung carcinoma A549 with IC50 values of 0.68 and 4.28 μg/ml, respectively. 相似文献

Four hybridomas secreting monoclonal antibodies (MAbs) of the IgG1 subclass against human carcinoembryonic antigen (CEA) were obtained from fusion of P3-NS1/1-Ag4 myeloma cells with splenic cells from mice immunized with purified CEA. None of the MAbs showed cross-reactivity to perchloric acid extractable antigens from the normal human colon by an inhibition radioimmunoassay. However, MAb C27 showed the highest affinity to CEA. The intensity of immunofluorescence staining of human colorectal cancer cells with MAb C27 correlates well to the cellular CEA content of cancer cells. LS174T showed the highest intensity of fluorescence (95%) while COLO320DM and COLO320HRS were the lowest (0.5%). None of the normal human organs - colon, lungs, liver, spleen or kidneys-showed positive staining by immunoperoxidase anti-peroxidase (PA) techniques, while tissues from colorectal carcinoma (CRC), gastric carcinoma, hepatoma and lung cancer gave a positive rate of 100% (30/30), 96.6% (28/29), 32.1% (9/28) and 82.1% (69/84) respectively. Results suggest that MAb C27 can be used in immunodetection and radiolocalization of colorectal carcinoma. 相似文献

Upon activation with various noncytokine stimuli, polymorphonuclear leukocytes (PMNs) mobilize intracellular sialidase to the plasma membrane, where the sialidase releases sialic acid from the cell surface. This desialylation enhances PMN adherence, spreading, deformability, and motility, functions critical to diapedesis. We now have examined the role of sialidase activity in PMN adhesion to and migration across the endothelium in vivo. A polyclonal antibody prepared against Clostridium perfringens neuraminidase 1) detected surface expression of sialidase on human PMNs stimulated with IL-8 in vitro and on murine PMNs stimulated in vivo, but not on that of unstimulated cells, 2) recognized proteins in human PMN lysates and granule preparations that were not detected by preimmune antibody, 3) inhibited bacterial neuraminidase and human PMN sialidase activities in vitro, and 4) inhibited both pulmonary leukostasis in mice systemically infused with cobra venom factor and intrapulmonary transendothelial migration of PMNs into the bronchoalveolar compartment of mice intranasally challenged with interleukin-8. We conclude that the chemokine interleukin-8, like other PMN agonists, induces the translocation of sialidase to the PMN surface and that surface expression of this sialidase is a prerequisite to PMN recruitment in vivo. The ability of antibodies raised against a prokaryotic neuraminidase to recognize eukaryotic sialidase extends the concept of the neuraminidase superfamily to mammalian enzymes. Inhibition of mobilized endogenous sialidase may provide a novel strategy for limiting the inflammatory response. 相似文献

Abstract: Gangliosides were isolated from purified myelin obtained from brain and spinal cord of mature chickens and pigeons. Total concentrations were approximately two- to fivefold greater than for previously reported mammalian species, and their patterns also differed in containing significantly more sialosylgalactosylceramide (GM4 ). The latter comprised one-third to one-fourth of total myelin ganglioside, approximately equivalent to GM1 (II3 NeuNAc-GgOse4 Cer). As in mammals, GM4 of avian CNS appeared to be localized in myelin. Fatty acids of this ganglioside included both the hydroxy- and unsubstituted types. and, long-chain bases were almost entirely C18 . Ganglioside GM1 split into two closely migrating bands on TLC, the slower of which resembled mammalian GM1 in having stearate as the main fatty acid with a measurable amount (10%) of C20 -sphingosine; the faster band had predominantly longer-chain fatty acids and very little C20 -sphingosine. 相似文献

Sialidase removes sialic acid from sialoglycoconjugates and plays crucial roles in many physiological and pathological processes. Various human cancers express an abnormally high level of the plasma membrane-associated sialidase isoform.Visualization of sialidase activity in living mammalian tissues would be useful not only for understanding sialidase functions but also for cancer diagnosis. However, since enzyme activity of mammalian sialidase is remarkably weak compared with that of bacterial and viral sialidases, it has been difficult to detect sialidase activity in mammalian tissues. We synthesized a novel benzothiazolylphenol-based sialic acid derivative (BTP-Neu5Ac) as a fluorescent sialidase substrate. BTP-Neu5Ac can visualize sialidase activities sensitively and selectively in acute rat brain slices. Cancer cells implanted orthotopically in mouse colons and human colon cancers (stages T3-T4) were also clearly detected with BTP-Neu5Ac. The results suggest that BTP-Neu5Ac is useful for histochemical imaging of sialidase activities. 相似文献

Sialidase (EC 3.2.1.18) catalyzes the release of sialic acid from sialo-oligosaccharides, gangliosides, or sialo-glycoproteins. In this investigation, we cloned a novel cDNA for mouse brain sialidase and expressed the cDNA in COS-7 cells. This 1,699 bp cDNA codes for a 41.6 kDa protein consisting of 372 deduced amino acid residues. In COS-7 cells transiently transfected with the cDNA, a 250-fold increase was observed in specific activity toward 2'-(4-methylumbelliferyl)-alpha-D-N-acetylneuraminic acid. Similarity searches of the nonredundant GenBank peptide sequence database by the PSI-BLAST program identified rat, hamster, human, and bacterial sialidases homologous to this mouse brain sialidase. Amino acid sequence identities to rat and hamster sialidases (84% and 77%, respectively) suggest that this form of sialidase is conserved in rodents. Sequence identities to human and mouse lysosomal sialidases (30% and 28%, respectively) indicate that the mouse brain sialidase is distinct from the lysosomal enzyme. Mouse brain sialidase has two amino acid sequence motifs common to bacterial sialidases: the 'F/YRIP' motif and the 'Asp-box' motif. The 'F/YRIP' motif is present near the N terminus while two 'Asp-box' motifs are present downstream. 相似文献

Specificity of the N1 and N2 sialidase subtypes of human influenza A virus for natural and synthetic gangliosides 总被引:2,自引:1,他引:1
Sialyl-linkage specificity of sialidases of the human influenza A virus
strains, A/Aichi/2/68 (H3N2) and A/PR/8/34 (H1N1) were studied using
natural and synthetic gangliosides. The sialidase of the A/Aichi/2/68
strain hydrolyzed the terminal Neu5Acalpha2-3Gal sequence but not the
Neu5Acalpha2-3 linkage on the inner Gal of GM1a, which is a ganglioside
that has the gangliotetraose chain (Galbeta1-3GalNAcbeta1-4-
(Neu5Acalpha2-3)Galbeta1++ +-4Glcbeta1-Cer). The sialidase hydrolyzed the
Neu5Ac on the inner Gal of GM2, which had a shorter gangliotriose chain.
GM4, which had the shortest chain (Neu5Acalpha2-3Galbeta1-Cer) of the
gangliosides, had a lower substrate specificity. The N1 and N2 sialidase
subtypes of the human influenza A virus had no significant variation in
their substrate specificity for the gangliosides. Analysis of 11 synthetic
gangliosides, which contained various ceramide or sialic acid moieties,
demonstrated that A/Aichi/2/68 (H3N2) sialidase recognized the ceramide and
sialic acid moiety and the length and structure of the sialyl sugar chain.

A radiometric assay for ganglioside sialidase applied to the determination of the enzyme subcellular location in cultured human fibroblasts 总被引:5,自引:0,他引:5

A radiometric method for the assay of ganglioside sialidase in cultured human fibroblasts was set up. As substrate, highly radioactive (1.28 Ci/mmol) ganglioside GDla isotopically tritium-labeled at carbon C-3 of the long chain base was employed; the liberated, and TLC separated [3H]GM1 was determined by computer-assisted radiochromatoscanning. Under experimental conditions that provided a low and quite acceptable (4-5%) coefficient of variation, the detection limit of the method was 0.1 nmol of liberated GM1, using as low as 10 micrograms of fibroblast homogenate as protein. The detection limit could be lowered to 0.02-0.03 nmol, adopting conditions that, however, carried a higher analytical error (coefficient of variation over 10%). The content of ganglioside sialidase in human fibroblasts cultured in 75-cm2 plastic flasks was 5.8 +/- 2.5 (SD) nmol liberated GM1 h-1 mg protein-1. Subfractionation studies performed on fibroblast homogenate showed that the ganglioside sialidase was mainly associated with the light membrane subfraction that was rich in plasma and intracellular membranes. This subfraction displayed almost no sialidase activity on the artificial substrate 4-methylumbelliferyl-D-N-acetylneuraminic acid. A small but measurable ganglioside sialidase activity was also present in the lysosome-enriched subfraction, which contained a very high sialidase activity on the above artificial substrate. All this supports the hypothesis that human fibroblasts contain sialidases with different subcellular location and substrate specificity. Particularly, the sialidase acting on gangliosides seems to have two sites of subcellular location, a major one at the level of plasma membranes and/or intracellular organelles functionally related with the plasma membranes and a minor one in the lysosomes. 相似文献

The conditions of a linear assay for 4-methylumbelliferyl-alpha-D-N-acetyl-neuraminic acid (4-MU-NeuAc) sialidase activity in human lymphocytes, granulocytes, platelets and red cells plasma membranes have been determined. Lymphocytes and granulocytes have the same pH curve with two maximums at pH 4.0 and 4.8; however lymphocytes show a higher specific activity and a higher Km value. Sialidase activity detected in red cells plasma membranes has again a double-peak pH curve with maximums at pH 4.2 and pH 4.6, and specific activity levels less than one/30 compared to the other blood cells preparations. Platelets have a sialidase activity of the same magnitude as granulocytes, with an optimum pH at 4.2. 相似文献

N2 neuraminidase (NA) genes of the 1957 and 1968 pandemic influenza virus strains possessed avian-like low-pH stability of sialidase activity, unlike most epidemic strains. We generated four reverse-genetics viruses from a genetic background of A/WSN/33 (H1N1) that included parental N2 NAs of 1968 pandemic (H3N2) and epidemic (H2N2) strains or their counterpart N2 NAs in which the low-pH stability of the sialidase activity was changed by substitutions of one or two amino acid residues. We found that the transfectant viruses bearing low-pH-stable sialidase (WSN/Stable-NAs) showed 25- to 80-times-greater ability to replicate in Madin-Darby canine kidney (MDCK) cells than did the transfectant viruses bearing low-pH-unstable sialidase (WSN/Unstable-NAs). Enzymatic activities of WSN/Stable-NAs were detected in endosomes of MDCK cells after 90 min of virus internalization by in situ fluorescent detection with 5-bromo-4-chloro-indole-3-yl-alpha-N-acetylneuraminic acid and Fast Red Violet LB. Inhibition of sialidase activity of WSN/Stable-NAs on the endocytic pathway by pretreatment with 4-guanidino-2,4-dideoxy-N-acetylneuraminic acid (zanamivir) resulted in a significant decrease in progeny viruses. In contrast, the enzymatic activities of WSN/Unstable-NAs, the replication of which had no effect on pretreatment with zanamivir, were undetectable in cells under the same conditions. Hemadsorption assays of transfectant-virus-infected cells revealed that the low-pH stability of the sialidase had no effect on the process of removal of sialic acid from hemagglutinin in the Golgi regions. Moreover, high titers of viruses were recovered from the lungs of mice infected with WSN/Stable-NAs on day 3 after intranasal inoculation, but WSN/Unstable-NAs were cleared from the lungs of the mice. These results indicate that sialidase activity in late endosome/lysosome traffic enhances influenza A virus replication. 相似文献

CEA启动子控制HSV—TK基因表达对人结直肠癌细胞的杀伤作用 总被引:2,自引:0,他引:2
An expression plasmid pCEA-TK, in which HSV-TK gene was under the control of CEA promoter, was constructed. The human colorectal carcinoma cell line LoVo or the human uterine cervical cancer cell line HeLa was co-transfected with pSV2-neo and pCEATK, respectively. After G418 selection, both transgenic cell clones (LoVo/CEATK and HeLa/CEATK) were obtained. LoVo/CEATK cells were 1300 times more sensitive to the cytotoxicity of ganciclovir than LoVo cells. However, the elevation of GCV sensitivity induced by pCEATK gene in HeLa line was only 8 times. Injection of GCV resulted in significant regression of HSV-TK transfected LoVo tumor in nude mice. These data suggested that the expression of TK gene driven by CEA promoter specifically killed CEA-positive colorectal carcinoma cells. Transmission electromicroscopy and DNA fragmentation assay demonstrated that GCV could induce apoptosis in LoVo/CEATK cells. The possibility of the CEATK/GCV system in the treatment of human colorectal carcinoma was discussed. 相似文献
