Twoestrogen receptor (ER) isoforms, ER and ER, have been described.However, no information is available in any species regarding thecomparison of ER and ER levels in pregnant intrauterine tissues.We investigated 1) distribution of ER and ER mRNA in myometrium, amnion, choriodecidua, and placenta; 2) theirabundance in intrauterine tissues at term not in labor (NIL) and inspontaneous term labor (STL); and 3) immunolocalization ofER and ER in pregnant rhesus monkey myometrium. Myometrium,amnion, choriodecidua, and placenta were obtained at cesarean sectionfrom monkeys in STL at 156-166 days gestational age(GA) (n = 4) and from control monkeys NIL at140-152 days GA (n = 4). RT-PCR was conducted to determineER and ER and glyceraldehyde-3-phosphate dehydrogenase mRNAabundance in four intrauterine tissues of the pregnant rhesus monkey.The cloned ER PCR fragment was subjected to sequence analysis. ERand ER were localized in the myometrium by immunohistochemistry. Wedemonstrated that 1) rhesus monkey ER shares >97%identity with human ER in the region sequenced; 2) both ERswere expressed in myometrium, amnion, and choriodecidua but not inplacenta in the current study; 3) ER and ER weredifferentially distributed in myometrium and amnion; 4) ERand ER were immunolocalized in myometrial smooth cells and smoothmuscle and endothelial cells of the myometrial blood vessels. Thebiological significance of these quantitative differences in ERsubtypes merits further study. 相似文献

The catalytic -subunit of oligomeric P-type ATPases such asNa-K-ATPase and H-K-ATPase requires association with a -subunit after synthesis in the endoplasmic reticulum (ER) to become stably expressed and functionally active. In this study, we have expressed the-subunit of Xenopus gastricH-K-ATPase (HK) in Xenopus oocytes together with -subunits of H-K-ATPase (HK) or Na-K-ATPase (NK) and have followed the biosynthesis, assembly, and cell surface expression of functional pumps. Immunoprecipitations ofXenopus HK from metabolicallylabeled oocytes show that it is well expressed and, when synthesizedwithout -subunits, can leave the ER and become fully glycosylated.Xenopus HK can associate with both coexpressed HK and NK, but the - complexes formed aredegraded rapidly in or close to the ER and do not produce functionalpumps at the cell surface as assessed by86Rb uptake. A possibleexplanation of these results is thatXenopus HK may contain atissue-specific signal that is important in the formation or correcttargeting of functional - complexes in the stomach but thatcannot be recognized in Xenopusoocytes and in consequence leads to cellular degradation of the -complexes in this experimental system. 相似文献

Active K absorption in the rat distal colon is energizedby an apical H-K-ATPase, a member of the gene family of P-type ATPases. The H-K-ATPase -subunit (HKc) has been cloned and characterized (together with the -subunit of either Na-K-ATPase or gastric H-K-ATPase) in Xenopus oocytes as ouabain-sensitive86Rb uptake. In contrast, HKc, when expressed in Sf9cells without a -subunit, yielded evidence of ouabain-insensitiveH-K-ATPase. Because a -subunit (HKc) has recently been clonedfrom rat colon, this present study was initiated to determine whetherH-K-ATPase and its sensitivity to ouabain are expressed when these twosubunits (HKc and HKc) are transfected into a mammalian cellexpression system. Transfection of HEK-293 cells with HKc and HKccDNAs resulted in the expression of HKc and HKc proteins andtheir delivery to plasma membranes. H-K-ATPase activity was identified in crude plasma membranes prepared from transfected cells and was1) saturable as a function of increasing K concentration with aKm for K of 0.63 mM; 2) inhibited byorthovanadate; and 3) insensitive to both ouabain andSch-28080. In parallel transfection studies with HKc and Na-K-ATPase1 cDNAs and with HKc cDNA alone, there was expression ofouabain-insensitive H-K-ATPase activity that was 60% and 21% of thatin HKc/HKc cDNA transfected cells, respectively. Ouabain-insensitive 86Rb uptake was also identified incells transfected with HKc and HKc cDNAs. These studies establishthat HKc cDNA with HKc cDNA express ouabain-insensitiveH-K-ATPase similar to that identified in rat distal colon. 相似文献

Calcium channels are composed of a pore-forming subunit,1, and at least two auxiliarysubunits, - and2-subunits. It is well knownthat -subunits regulate most of the properties of the channel. Thefunction of 2-subunit isless understood. In this study, the effects of the calcium channel2-subunit on the neuronal1E voltage-gated calciumchannel expressed in Xenopus oocyteswas investigated without and with simultaneous coexpression of eitherthe 1b- or the2a-subunit. Most aspects of1E function were affected by2. Thus2 caused a shift in thecurrent-voltage and conductance-voltage curves toward more positivepotentials and accelerated activation, deactivation, and theinstallation of the inactivation process. In addition, the efficiencywith which charge movement is coupled to pore opening assessed bydetermining ratios of limiting conductance to limiting charge movementwas decreased by 2 byfactors that ranged from 1.6 (P < 0.01) for 1E-channels to 3.0 (P < 0.005) for1E1b-channels. These results indicate that2 facilitates the expressionand the maturation of1E-channels and converts thesechannels into molecules responding more rapidly to voltage. 相似文献

P-type ATPasesrequire both - and -subunits for functionalactivity. Although an -subunit for colonic apical membraneH-K-ATPase (HKc) has been identified and studied, its -subunithas not been identified. We cloned putative -subunit rat colonicH-K-ATPase (HKc) cDNA that encodes a 279-amino-acid protein with asingle transmembrane domain and sequence homology to other rat-subunits. Northern blot analysis demonstrates that this HKc isexpressed in several rat tissues, including distal and proximal colon,and is highly expressed in testis and lung. HKc mRNA abundance is upregulated threefold compared with normal in distal colon but notproximal colon, testis, or lung of K-depleted rats. In contrast, Na-K-ATPase 1 mRNA abundance isunaltered in distal colon of K-depleted rats. Na depletion, which alsostimulates active K absorption in distal colon, does not increaseHKc mRNA abundance. Western blot analyses using a polyclonalantibody raised to a glutathioneS-transferase-HKc fusion proteinestablished expression of a 45-kDa HKc protein in both apical andbasolateral membranes of rat distal colon, but K depletion increasedHKc protein expression only in apical membranes. Physicalassociation between HKc and HKc proteins was demonstrated byWestern blot analysis performed with HKc antibody onimmunoprecipitate of apical membranes of rat distal colon and HKcantibody. Tissue-specific upregulation of this -subunit mRNA inresponse to K depletion, localization of its protein, its upregulationby K depletion in apical membranes of distal colon, and its physicalassociation with HKc protein provide compelling evidence that HKcis the putative -subunit of colonic H-K-ATPase. 相似文献

The hypothesisthat amiloride-sensitive Na+channels (ENaC) are involved in cell volume regulation was tested.Anisosmotic ND-20 media (ranging from 70 to 450 mosM) were used tosuperfuse Xenopus oocytes expressing-rat ENaC (-rENaC). Whole cell currents werereversibly dependent on external osmolarity. Under conditions ofswelling (70 mosM) or shrinkage (450 mosM), current amplitude decreasedand increased, respectively. In contrast, there was no change incurrent amplitude of H2O-injectedoocytes to the above osmotic insults. Currents recorded from-rENaC-injected oocytes were not sensitive to externalCl concentration or to theK+ channel inhibitorBaCl2. They were sensitive toamiloride. The concentration of amiloride necessary to inhibit one-halfof the maximal rENaC current expressed in oocytes(Ki; apparentdissociation constant) decreased in swollen cells and increased inshrunken oocytes. The osmotic pressure-inducedNa+ currents showed propertiessimilar to those of stretch-activated channels, including inhibition byGd3+ andLa3+, and decreased selectivityfor Na+.-rENaC-expressing oocytes maintained a nearly constant cell volume in hypertonic ND-20. The present study is the firstdemonstration that -rENaC heterologously expressed inXenopus oocytes may contribute tooocyte volume regulation following shrinkage. 相似文献

Using the Xenopus oocyteexpression system, we examined the mechanisms by which the - and-subunits of an epithelial Na+channel (ENaC) regulate -subunit channel activity and the mechanisms by which -subunit truncations cause ENaC activation. Expression of-ENaC alone produced small amiloride-sensitive currents (43 ± 10 nA, n = 7). These currentsincreased >30-fold with the coexpression of - and -ENaC to1,476 ± 254 nA (n = 20).This increase was accompanied by a 3.1- and 2.7-fold increase ofmembrane fluorescence intensity in the animal and vegetal poles of theoocyte, respectively, with use of an antibody directed against the-subunit of ENaC. Truncation of the last 75 amino acids of the-subunit COOH terminus, as found in the original pedigree ofindividuals with Liddle's syndrome, caused a 4.4-fold(n = 17) increase of theamiloride-sensitive currents compared with wild-type -ENaC.This was accompanied by a 35% increase of animal pole membranefluorescence intensity. Injection of a 30-amino acid peptide withsequence identity to the COOH terminus of the human -ENaCsignificantly reduced the amiloride-sensitive currents by 40-50%.These observations suggest a tonic inhibitory role on the channel'sopen probability (Po) by the COOH terminus of -ENaC. We conclude that the changes of current observed with coexpression of the - and -subunits or those observed with -subunit truncation are likely the result ofchanges of channel density in combination with large changes ofPo. 相似文献

Transforming growth factor-(TGF-) is known to induce -smooth muscle actin (-SMA) infibroblasts and is supposed to play a role in myofibroblastdifferentiation and tumor desmoplasia. Our objective was to elucidatethe impact of TGF-1 on -SMA expression in fibroblasts in athree-dimensional (3-D) vs. two-dimensional (2-D) environment. Inmonolayer culture, all fibroblast cultures responded in a similarfashion to TGF-1 with regard to -SMA expression. In fibroblastspheroids, -SMA expression was reduced and induction by TGF-1 washighly variable. This difference correlated with a differentialregulation in the TGF- receptor (TGFR) expression, in particularwith a reduction in TGF-RII in part of the fibroblast types. Ourdata indicate that 1) sensitivity to TGF-1-induced -SMA expression in a 3-D environment is fibroblast-type specific, 2) fibroblast type-independent regulatory mechanisms, suchas a general reduction/loss in TGF-RIII, contribute to an altered TGFR expression profile in spheroid compared with monolayer culture, and 3) fibroblast type-specific alterations in TGFR typesI and II determine the sensitivity to TGF-1-induced -SMAexpression in the 3-D setting. We suggest that fibroblasts that can beinduced by TGF-1 to produce -SMA in spheroid culture reflect a"premyofibroblastic" phenotype. 相似文献

Cholecystokinin induction of mob-1 chemokine expression in pancreatic acinar cells requires NF-kappa B activation 总被引:1,自引:0,他引:1
Inflammatory mediators are involved in the early phase of acutepancreatitis, but the cellular mechanisms responsible for theirgeneration within pancreatic cells are unknown. We examined the role ofnuclear factor-B (NF-B) in cholecystokinin octapeptide (CCK-8)-induced mob-1 chemokineexpression in pancreatic acinar cells in vitro. Supraphysiological, butnot physiological, concentrations of CCK-8 increased inhibitory B(IB-) degradation, NF-B activation, andmob-1 gene expression in isolatedpancreatic acinar cells. CCK-8-induced IB- degradation wasmaximal within 1 h. Expression ofmob-1 was maximal within 2 h. Neitherbombesin nor carbachol significantly increasedmob-1 mRNA or induced IB-degradation. Thus the concentration, time, and secretagogue dependenceof mob-1 gene expression and IB-degradation were similar. Inhibition of NF-B with pharmacologicalagents or by adenovirus-mediated expression of the inhibitory proteinIB- also inhibited mob-1 geneexpression. These data indicate that the NF-B signaling pathway isrequired for CCK-8-mediated induction ofmob-1 chemokine expression inpancreatic acinar cells. This supports the hypothesis that NF-Bsignaling is of central importance in the initiation of acute pancreatitis. 相似文献

Interaction of alpha- and beta-subunits in native H-K-ATPase and cultured cells transfected with H-K-ATPase beta-subunit 总被引:1,自引:0,他引:1
The assembly of the -subunit of thegastric H-K-ATPase (HK) with the -subunit of the H-K-ATPase orthe Na-K-ATPase (NaK) was characterized with two anti-HKmonoclonal antibodies (MAbs). In fixed gastric oxyntic cells, inH-K-ATPase in vitro, and in Madin-Darby canine kidney (MDCK) cellstransfected with HK, MAb 2/2E6 was observed to bind to HK onlywhen interactions between - and -subunits were disrupted byvarious denaturants. The epitope for MAb 2/2E6 was mapped to thetetrapeptide S226LHY229 of the extracellulardomain of HK. The epitope for MAb 2G11 was mapped to the eightNH2-terminal amino acids of the cytoplasmic domain ofHK. In transfected MDCK cells, MAb 2G11 could immunoprecipitate HK with -subunits of the endogenous cell surface NaK, as well as that from early in the biosynthetic pathway, whereas MAb 2/2E6 immunoprecipitated only a cohort of unassembled endoglycosidase H-sensitive HK. In HK-transfected LLC-PK1 cells,significant immunofluorescent labeling of HK at the cell surfacecould be detected without postfixation denaturation or in live cells,although a fraction of transfected HK could also becoimmunoprecipitated with NaK. Thus assembly of HK with NaKdoes not appear to be a stringent requirement for cell surface deliveryof HK in LLC-PK1 cells but may be required in MDCKcells. In addition, endogenous posttranslational regulatory mechanismsto prevent hybrid - heterodimer assembly appear to be compromisedin transfected cultured renal epithelial cells. Finally, theextracellular epitope for assembly-sensitive MAb 2/2E6 may represent aregion of HK that is associated with - interaction. 相似文献

We have confirmed that A6 cells (derived fromkidney of Xenopus laevis), whichcontain both mineralocorticoid and glucocorticoid receptors, do notnormally possess 11-hydroxysteroid dehydroxgenase (11-HSD1 or11-HSD2) enzymatic activity and so are without apparent "protective" enzymes. A6 cells do not convert the glucocorticoid corticosterone to 11-dehydrocorticosterone but do, however, possess steroid 6-hydroxylase that transforms corticosterone to6-hydroxycorticosterone. This hydroxylase is cytochromeP-450 3A (CYP3A). We have nowdetermined the effects of 3,5-tetrahydroprogesterone andchenodeoxycholic acid (both inhibitors of 11-HSD1) and11-dehydrocorticosterone and11-hydroxy-3,5-tetrahydroprogesterone (inhibitors of11-HSD2) and carbenoxalone, which inhibits both 11-HSD1 and11-HSD2, on the actions and metabolism of corticosterone and activeNa+ transport [short-circuitcurrent(Isc)] inA6 cells. All of these 11-HSD inhibitory substances induced asignificant increment in corticosterone-inducedIsc, which wasdetectable within 2 h. However, none of these agents caused an increasein Isc whenincubated by themselves with A6 cells. In all cases, the additionalIsc was inhibitedby the mineralocorticoid receptor (MR) antagonist, RU-28318, whereasthe original Iscelicited by corticosterone alone was inhibited by the glucocorticoidreceptor antagonist, RU-38486. In separate experiments, each agent wasshown to significantly inhibit metabolism of corticosterone to6-hydroxycorticosterone in A6 cells, and a linear relationshipexisted between 6-hydroxylase inhibition and the MR-mediatedincrease in Iscin the one inhibitor tested. Troleandomycin, a selective inhibitor ofCYP3A, inhibited 6-hydroxylase and also significantly enhancedcorticosterone-induced Isc at 2 h. Theseexperiments indicate that the enhanced MR-mediated Isc in A6 cellsmay be related to inhibition of 6-hydroxylase activity in thesecells and that this 6-hydroxylase (CYP3A) may be protecting theexpression of corticosterone-induced active Na+ transport in A6 cells byMR-mediated mechanism(s). 相似文献

Expression of the TGF-beta receptor gene and sensitivity to growth inhibition following polyamine depletion 总被引:1,自引:0,他引:1

Our previous studieshave shown that inhibition of polyamine biosynthesis increases thesensitivity of intestinal epithelial cells to growth inhibition inducedby exogenous transforming growth factor- (TGF-). This study wentfurther to determine whether expression of the TGF- receptor genesis involved in this process. Studies were conducted in the IEC-6 cellline, derived from rat small intestinal crypt cells. Administration of-difluoromethylornithine (DFMO), a specific inhibitor of ornithinedecarboxylase (the rate-limiting enzyme for polyamine synthesis), for 4 and 6 days depleted cellular polyamines putrescine, spermidine, andspermine in IEC-6 cells. Polyamine depletion by DFMO increased levelsof the TGF- type I receptor (TGF-RI) mRNA and protein but had noeffect on the TGF- type II receptor expression. The inducedTGF-RI expression after polyamine depletion was associated with anincreased sensitivity to growth inhibition induced by exogenous TGF-but not by somatostatin. Extracellular matrix laminin inhibited IEC-6cell growth without affecting the TGF- receptor expression. Lamininconsistently failed to induce the sensitivity of TGF--mediatedgrowth inhibition. In addition, decreasing TGF-RI expression bytreatment with retinoic acid not only decreased TGF--mediated growthinhibition in normal cells but also prevented the increased sensitivityto exogenous TGF- in polyamine-deficient cells. These resultsindicate that 1) depletion of cellular polyamines by DFMOincreases expression of the TGF-RI gene and 2) increasedTGF-RI expression plays an important role in the process throughwhich polyamine depletion sensitizes intestinal epithelial cells togrowth inhibition induced by TGF-. 相似文献

The -subunit of the amiloride-sensitive epithelialNa+ channel (ENaC) is criticalin forming an ion conductive pore in the membrane. We have identifiedthe wild-type and three splice variants of the human ENaC (hENaC)from the human lung cell line H441, using RT-PCR. These splice variantscontain various structures in the extracellular domain, resultingin premature truncation (hENaCx), 19-amino acid deletion(hENaC19), and 22-amino acid insertion (hENaC+22).Wild-type hENaC and splice variants were functionally characterizedin Xenopus oocytes by coexpression with hENaC - and -subunits. Unlike wild-type hENaC,undetectable or substantially reduced amiloride-sensitive currents wereobserved in oocytes expressing these splice variants. Wild-typehENaC was the most abundantly expressed hENaC mRNA species in alltissues in which its expression was detected. These findings indicate that the extracellular domain is important to generate structural andfunctional diversity of hENaC and that alternative splicing may playa role in regulating hENaC activity. 相似文献

Protons regulateelectrogenic sodium absorption in a variety of epithelia, including thecortical collecting duct, frog skin, and urinary bladder. Recently,three subunits (, , ) coding for the epithelial sodium channel(ENaC) were cloned. However, it is not known whether pH regulatesNa+ channels directly byinteracting with one of the three ENaC subunits or indirectly byinteracting with a regulatory protein. As a first step to identifyingthe molecular mechanisms of proton-mediated regulation of apicalmembrane Na+ permeability inepithelia, we examined the effect of pH on the biophysical propertiesof ENaC. To this end, we expressed various combinations of -, -,and -subunits of ENaC in Xenopusoocytes and studied ENaC currents by the two-electrode voltage-clampand patch-clamp techniques. In addition, the effect of pH on the-ENaC subunit was examined in planar lipid bilayers. We report that ,,-ENaC currents were regulated by changes in intracellular pH(pHi) but not by changes inextracellular pH (pHo).Acidification reduced and alkalization increased channel activity by avoltage-independent mechanism. Moreover, a reduction ofpHi reduced single-channel openprobability, reduced single-channel open time, and increased single-channel closed time without altering single-channel conductance. Acidification of the cytoplasmic solution also inhibited ,-ENaC, ,-ENaC, and -ENaC currents. We conclude thatpHi but notpHo regulates ENaC and that the-ENaC subunit is regulated directly bypHi. 相似文献

The gamma-subunit of ENaC is more important for channel surface expression than the beta-subunit 总被引:4,自引:0,他引:4
The amiloride-sensitiveepithelial sodium channel (ENaC) plays a critical role in fluid andelectrolyte homeostasis and is composed of three homologous subunits:, , and . Only heteromultimeric channels made of ENaCare efficiently expressed at the cell surface, resulting in maximallyamiloride-sensitive currents. To study the relative importance ofvarious regions of the - and -subunits for the expression offunctional ENaC channels at the cell surface, we constructedhemagglutinin (HA)-tagged --chimeric subunits composed of -and -subunit regions and coexpressed them with HA-tagged - and-subunits in Xenopus laevis oocytes. The whole cellamiloride-sensitive sodium current (Iami) andsurface expression of channels were assessed in parallel using thetwo-electrode voltage-clamp technique and a chemiluminescence assay.Because coexpression of ENaC resulted in largerIami and surface expression compared withcoexpression of ENaC, we hypothesized that the -subunit ismore important for ENaC trafficking than the -subunit. Usingchimeras, we demonstrated that channel activity is largely preservedwhen the highly conserved second cysteine rich domains (CRD2) of the- and -subunits are exchanged. In contrast, exchanging the wholeextracellular loops of the - and the -subunits largely reducedENaC currents and ENaC expression in the membrane. This indicates thatthere is limited interchangeability between molecular regions of thetwo subunits. Interestingly, our chimera studies demonstrated that theintracellular termini and the two transmembrane domains of ENaC aremore important for the expression of functional channels at the cellsurface than the corresponding regions of ENaC. 相似文献

Role of beta 1- and beta 3-adrenoceptors in the regulation of lipolysis and thermogenesis in rat brown adipocytes 总被引:1,自引:0,他引:1

To evaluate the physiological functions of1-,2-, and3-adrenoceptors (ARs) in brownadipose tissue, the lipolytic and respiratory effects of variousadrenergic agonists and antagonists were studied in rat brownadipocytes. The -agonists stimulated both lipolysis and respiration(8-10 times above basal levels), with the following order ofpotency (concentration eliciting 50% of maximum response):CL-316243 (3) > BRL-37344(3) > isoproterenol (mainly1/2) > norepinephrine (NE; mainly1/2) > epinephrine (mainly1/2) dobutamine (1) procaterol (2). Schild plot coefficients of competitive inhibition experiments using ICI-89406 (1 antagonist) revealed thatmore than one type of receptor mediates NE action. It is concluded fromour results that 1) NE, at low plasma levels (1-25 nM), stimulates lipolysis and respiration mainly through 1-ARs,2) NE, at higher levels, stimulateslipolysis and respiration via both1- and3-ARs,3)2-ARs play only a minor role,and 4)3-ARs may represent thephysiological receptors for the high NE concentrations in the synapticcleft, where the high-affinity1-ARs are presumablydesensitized. It is also suggested that lipolysis represents theflux-generating step regulating mitochondrial respiration. 相似文献

Heterologous desensitization of response mediated by selective PKC-dependent phosphorylation of G(i-1) and G(i-2) 总被引:1,自引:0,他引:1

This study examined the ability of protein kinase C (PKC) toinduce heterologous desensitization by targeting specific G proteinsand limiting their ability to transduce signals in smooth muscle.Activation of PKC by pretreatment of intestinal smooth muscle cellswith phorbol 12-myristate 13-acetate, cholecystokinin octapeptide, orthe phosphatase 1 and phosphatase 2A inhibitor, calyculin A,selectively phosphorylated Gi-1 and Gi-2,but not Gi-3 or Go, and blockedinhibition of adenylyl cyclase mediated by somatostatin receptorscoupled to Gi-1 and opioid receptors coupled toGi-2, but not by muscarinic M2 and adenosineA1 receptors coupled to Gi-3. Phosphorylationof Gi-1 and Gi-2 and blockade of cyclaseinhibition were reversed by calphostin C and bisindolylmaleimide, andadditively by selective inhibitors of PKC and PKC. Blockade ofinhibition was prevented by downregulation of PKC. Phosphorylation ofG-subunits by PKC also affected responses mediated by-subunits. Pretreatment of muscle cells withcANP-(4-23), a selective agonist of the natriureticpeptide clearance receptor, NPR-C, which activates phospholipase C(PLC)-3 via the -subunits of Gi-1 andGi-2, inhibited the PLC- response to somatostatin and[D-Pen2,5]enkephalin. The inhibition waspartly reversed by calphostin C. Short-term activation of PKC had noeffect on receptor binding or effector enzyme (adenylyl cyclase orPLC-) activity. We conclude that selective phosphorylation ofGi-1 and Gi-2 by PKC partly accounts forheterologous desensitization of responses mediated by the - and-subunits of both G proteins. The desensitization reflects adecrease in reassociation and thus availability of heterotrimeric G proteins. 相似文献

Previously we have shown that hyperosmolarity increasesNa+-myo-inositolcotransporter (SMIT) activity and mRNA levels in cultured endothelialcells. Because hyperosmolarity and cytokines, such as tumor necrosisfactor- (TNF-), activate similar signal transduction pathways, weexamined the effect of TNF- on SMIT mRNA levels andmyo-inositol accumulation. In contrastto the effect of hyperosmolarity, TNF- caused a time- andconcentration-dependent decrease in SMIT mRNA levels andmyo-inositol accumulation. The effectof TNF- on myo-inositolaccumulation was found in large-vessel endothelial cells (derived fromthe aorta and pulmonary artery) and cerebral microvessel endothelialcells. In bovine aorta and bovine pulmonary artery endothelial cells,TNF- activated nuclear factor (NF)-B. TNF- also increasedceramide levels, and C2-ceramidemimicked the effect of TNF- on SMIT mRNA levels andmyo-inositol accumulation in bovineaorta endothelial cells. Pyrrolidinedithiocarbamate, genistein, and7-amino-1-chloro-3-tosylamido-2-hepatanone, compounds that can inhibitNF-B activation, partially prevented the TNF--induced decrease inmyo-inositol accumulation. The effectof TNF- on myo-inositolaccumulation was also partially prevented by the protein kinase Cinhibitor calphostin C but not by staurosporine. These studiesdemonstrate that TNF- causes a decrease in SMIT mRNA levels andmyo-inositol accumulation in culturedendothelial cells, which may be related to the activation of NF-B. 相似文献

HumanNa+-K+-ATPase11,21, and 31heterodimers were expressed individually in yeast, and ouabainbinding and ATP hydrolysis were measured in membrane fractions. Theouabain equilibrium dissociation constant was 13-17 nM for11 and 31at 37°C and 32 nM for 21, indicatingthat the human -subunit isoforms have a similar high affinity forcardiac glycosides. K0.5 values for antagonism of ouabain binding by K+ were ranked in order as follows:2 (6.3 ± 2.4 mM) > 3(1.6 ± 0.5 mM) 1 (0.9 ± 0.6 mM),and K0.5 values for Na+ antagonismof ouabain binding to all heterodimers were 9.5-13.8 mM. Themolecular turnover for ATP hydrolysis by11 (6,652 min1) was abouttwice as high as that by 31 (3,145 min1). These properties of the human heterodimersexpressed in yeast are in good agreement with properties of the humanNa+-K+-ATPase expressed in Xenopusoocytes (G Crambert, U Hasler, AT Beggah, C Yu, NN Modyanov, J-DHorisberger, L Lelievie, and K Geering. J Biol Chem275: 1976-1986, 2000). In contrast to Na+ pumpsexpressed in Xenopus oocytes, the21 complex in yeast membranes wassignificantly less stable than 11 or31, resulting in a lower functionalexpression level. The 21 complex was also more easily denatured by SDS than was the11 or the31 complex. 相似文献

Two independentsignal transduction pathways regulate lymphocyte amiloride-sensitivesodium channels (ASSCs), one utilizing cAMP as a second messenger andthe other utilizing a GTP-binding protein. This implies that two plasmamembrane receptors play a role in the regulation of lymphocyte ASSCs.In this study, we tested the hypothesis that1- and2-adrenergic receptorsindependently regulate lymphocyte ASSCs via the two previouslyidentified second messengers. Direct measurements indicated thatnorepinephrine increased lymphocyte cAMP and activated ASSCs. The2-specific inhibitor,yohimbine, blocked this activation, thereby linking 2-adrenergic receptors to ASSCregulation via cAMP. The1-specific ligand, terazosin,acted as an agonist and activated lymphocyte ASSCs but inhibited ASSCcurrent that had been preactivated by norepinephrine or8-(4-chlorophenylthio) (CPT)-cAMP. Terazosin had no effect on thelymphocyte whole cell ASSC currents preactivated by treatment withpertussis toxin. This finding indirectly links 1-adrenergic receptors tolymphocyte ASSC regulation via GTP-binding proteins. Terazosin had nodirect inhibitory or stimulatory effects on ,,-endothelialsodium channels reconstituted into planar lipid bilayers and expressedin Xenopus oocytes, ruling out a direct interaction between terazosin and the channels. These findings support the hypothesis that both1- and2-adrenergic receptors independently regulate lymphocyte ASSCs via GTP-binding proteins andcAMP, respectively. 相似文献
