Gastrin-releasing peptide and the carboxyterminal fragments gastrin-releasing peptide [14-27] and [18-27] are found by radioimmunology and high performance liquid chromatography to be present in heat-inactivated fetal calf sera. Peptides containing the carboxyterminal sequence of gastrin-releasing peptide are known to display mitogenic activity. Thus, gastrin-releasing peptide represents a new class of mitogenic factors that are present in heat-inactivated fetal calf serum. 相似文献

Bombesin and the C-terminal tetradecapeptide of gastrin-releasing peptide are growth factors for normal human bronchial epithelial cells 总被引:25,自引:0,他引:25
Bombesin and the C-terminal portion of gastrin-releasing peptide (GRP14-27) each increase clonal growth rate and colony-forming efficiency of normal human bronchial epithelial cells. These effects occur in the presence or absence of an optimal concentration (5 ng/ml) of epidermal growth factor (EGF). In contrast to EGF bombesin and GRP14-27 do not stimulate cell migration. Thus, bombesin and the C-terminal fragment of gastrin-releasing peptide represent a new class of peptides mitogenic for normal human epithelial cells. 相似文献

The antagonistic effects of [D-Phe25]gastrin-releasing peptide (GRP)(18-27) and [D-Arg1,D-Pro2,D-Trp7,9,Leu11]substance P (SP) on the stimulation of insulin release by GRP(18-27) from isolated canine pancreas were compared with that of [Ala23]GRP(18-27). The stimulation of insulin release by 1 nM GRP(18-27) was reduced to 24.1% and 15.4% by the prior infusion of 1 microM of [D-Arg1,D-Pro2,D-Trp7,9,Leu11]SP and 10 microM of [D-Phe25]GRP(18-27), respectively. Glucagon release by GRP(18-27) was not affected by these peptides using the above concentrations. The results indicate that these peptides are antagonists of bombesin-like peptide receptors on pancreatic B-cells, although the inhibitory activities are lower than that of [Ala23]GRP(18-27). 相似文献

The [Leu26-psi(CH2O)Leu27] derivative of N-Ac-GRP20-27-peptide amide was prepared and evaluated as a gastrin-releasing peptide antagonist. This psi(CH2O) derivative was found to be a more potent inhibitor of [3H-Phe15]GRP15-24NH2 binding and N-Ac-GRP20-27NH2 induced mitogenesis in Swiss 3T3 fibroblasts than the related nitrogen analog [Leu13-psi(CH2NH)Leu14] bombesin. Possible reasons for the improved activity of the (CH2O) insert relative to the (CH2NH) group include increased hydrophobicity and a reduced tendency of the oxygen derivative to form hydrogen bonds. 相似文献

Rat and guinea pig brain extracts were examined for the occurrence of gastrin-releasing peptide (GRP)-like substances by sequence specific radioimmunoassays interfaced with gel filtration and reversed phase high performance liquid chromatography (RP-HPLC). Tryptic digestion of the immunoreactive peptides followed by RP-HPLC was used to further characterize GRP-related peptides in brain. Using these analytical techniques it was found that guinea pig brain extracts contained a peptide with characteristics identical to authentic GRP (27 amino acid residues long). A carboxyterminal fragment with the characteristics of GRP(18–27) as well as a respective aminoterminal fragment with the characteristics of GRP(1–16) were also present in guinea pig brain extracts. The GRP(18–27) seems to correspond to the bombesin related material that has been described previously in mammalian brain extracts.Rat brain extracts also contained a peptide with the characteristics of GRP(18–27). The corresponding aminoterminal fragment, however, behaved differently on RP-HPLC from authentic GRP(1–16) and it was not recognized by antibodies directed to the aminoterminal tridecapeptide fragment of authentic GRP. Similarly the GRP-like peptide from rat brain did not comigrate on RP-HPLC with authentic GRP and was unreactive to antibodies directed toward the aminoterminus of GRP. 相似文献

Bombesin-peptide (BLP) immunoreactivity occurs at high levels in fetal lung. Previous studies showed that bombesin promotes fetal lung development. To test the hypothesis that such effects are mediated by known mammalian bombesin receptors [gastrin-releasing peptide (GRP)/bombesin-preferring receptor (GRPR), neuromedin B (NMB) receptor (NMBR), and the orphan bombesin receptor subtype-3 (BRS-3)], we analyzed the ontogeny of GRPR, NMBR, and BRS-3 gene expression in mouse lung. We examined the regulation of these three genes by dexamethasone and bombesin, which modulate lung development. Using incorporation of [3H]thymidine and [3H]choline, we then assessed whether GRP, NMB, and Leu8-phyllolitorin modulate lung growth and maturation in fetal lung explants. GRPR gene expression was detected predominantly in utero, whereas NMBR and BRS-3 genes were expressed from embryonic days 13-16 and on multiple postnatal days. All three mRNAs are present in airway epithelium and mesenchymal cells but occur in different relative patterns. These genes were regulated differently. Dexamethasone and bombesin increased GRPR mRNA, bombesin downregulated NMBR, and neither agent affected BRS-3. GRP increased incorporation of [3H]thymidine and [3H]choline in explants, whereas NMB induced cell proliferation and Leu8-phyllolitorin yielded variable results. Cumulative data suggest the involvement of multiple BLP receptors, including novel molecules, and argue against simple functional redundancy within this gene family during lung development. 相似文献

Arachidonic acid release by bombesin. A novel postreceptor target for heterologous mitogenic desensitization 总被引:7,自引:0,他引:7
Prolonged exposure of Swiss 3T3 cells to vasopressin causes heterologous mitogenic desensitization to bombesin and structurally related peptides including gastrin-releasing peptide (GRP) without down-regulation of the bombesin receptor. The number and affinity of bombesin/GRP receptor sites and modulation of 125I-GRP binding by guanosine 5'-O-(3-thiotriphosphate) (GTP gamma S) are unaffected in membrane preparations from vasopressin-treated cultures. Stimulation of inositol phosphate accumulation, mobilization of intracellular calcium, production of diacylglycerol, and transmodulation of the epidermal growth factor receptor by bombesin are similarly unaffected. Thus, the heterologous mitogenic desensitization is not due to uncoupling of bombesin receptor from transducing G protein(s) or to an inability to activate phospholipase C. Bombesin, unlike vasopressin, causes a rapid dose-dependent release of [3H]arachidonic acid and prostaglandin E2 from Swiss 3T3 cells (EC50 approximately 4 nM), which is inhibited by the specific bombesin receptor antagonist [Leu13-psi(CH2NH)-Leu14]bombesin. Crucially, release of [3H]arachidonic acid and prostaglandin E2 by bombesin is completely suppressed by prolonged pretreatment with vasopressin (EC50 = 0.6 nM). The mitogenic action of bombesin is restored by adding arachidonic acid to vasopressin-treated cells. We conclude first that arachidonic acid release is an early signal in the mitogenic response to bombesin and second that pretreatment with vasopressin induces heterologous mitogenic desensitization to bombesin by a novel mechanism: inhibition of arachidonic acid release. 相似文献

Primary structures of the bombesin-like neuropeptides in frog brain show that bombesin is not the amphibian gastrin-releasing peptide 总被引:1,自引:0,他引:1

Peptides displaying gastrin-releasing peptide/bombesin-like immunoreactivity were isolated in pure form from an extract of the brain of the European green frog, Rana ridibunda. The primary structure of the more abundant peptide was established as: Gly-Ser-His-Trp-Ala-Val-Gly-His-Leu-Met. NH2. This sequence shows one substitution (Ser for Asn) compared with mammalian gastrin-releasing peptide (18-27) (neuromedin C). The extract also contained gastrin-releasing peptide but bombesin was absent. The data indicate that bombesin is not the amphibian counterpart of gastrin-releasing peptide. 相似文献

The action of a platelet extract (PE) and a heat-inactivated PE on 3T3 cells proliferation has been investigated. The heat-inactivated PE and platelet poor plasma (PPP) together can promote cell proliferation like fetal calf serum. At the same time PE inhibits proliferation of the cell culture stimulated by 5% fetal calf serum, whereas the heat-inactivated PE does not. Although the actions of 2% PE and 2% heat-inactivated PE on the cells incubated with PPP are equal, the stimulating effect of a 10% heat-inactivated PE is higher than that of a 10% PE. Thus, the inhibitor acts only at high concentrations. The role of the platelet-derived inhibitor in the limiting of extensive cell proliferation during vessel wall injury repair is discussed. 相似文献

The synthetic peptide, SFLLRNPNDKYEPF, has been recently described as a peptide mimicking the new amino-terminus created by cleavage of the thrombin receptor, therefore acting as an agonist of the thrombin receptor. This peptide was a potent mitogen for rabbit arterial smooth muscle cells (SMC) and exhibited the same activity as that of native alpha-thrombin. Both compounds stimulated the proliferation of growth-arrested SMCs with half-maximum mitogenic responses at 1 nM. NAPAP, a synthetic inhibitor of the enzymatic activity of thrombin, specifically inhibited thrombin-induced SMC growth (IC50 = 0.35 +/- 0.04 microM) but was without effect on the mitogenic effect of the agonist peptide. These results therefore demonstrate that the mitogenic effect of alpha-thrombin for SMCs is intimately linked to its esterolytic activity. Heparin, which inhibited fetal calf serum-induced SMC growth, was without effect on thrombin-induced SMC growth but strongly reduced the mitogenic effect of the agonist peptide (IC50 = 32 +/- 5 micrograms/ml). This effect was not related to the anti-coagulant activity of heparin but was highly dependent on molecular mass and on the global charge of the molecule and was also observed for other sulphated polysaccharides such as pentosan polysulphate. 相似文献

Growth-dependent subcellular redistribution of protein kinase C in cultured porcine aortic endothelial cells 总被引:2,自引:0,他引:2
We have previously observed major differences in the phosphorylation of membrane proteins in sparse, proliferating versus confluent, quiescent pig aortic endothelial cells (EC) (Kazlauskas and DiCorleto, 1987). In the present study we examined whether EC growth state can influence the activity of a specific phosphorylating enzyme, protein kinase C (PKC) in cytosolic and membrane fractions of pig aortic EC. Levels of PKC were measured using two methods: 1) Ca2+ and phospholipid-dependent phosphorylation of exogenous histones using gamma-labeled [32P]ATP, and 2) [3H]phorbol-12,13-dibutyrate (PDBu) binding activity. The total amount of PKC activity in the quiescent versus proliferating cells was similar but the percentage of PKC activity in the membrane fraction correlated with the proliferative index of the cells: confluent, quiescent cultures exhibited a majority of PKC activity in the cytosolic fraction (67%), whereas sparse, proliferating cultures contained principally membrane-bound PKC (70%). We also examined the role of PKC in the mitogenic response of pig aortic EC to fetal calf serum. Following serum stimulation of sparse, serum-deprived pig aortic EC, PKC activity redistributed from the cytosolic to the membrane fraction in a rapid process that correlated with subsequent DNA synthesis. A potent activator of PKC, 12-O-tetradecanoylphorbol-13-acetate (TPA), induced a minimal mitogenic response in pig aortic EC when added alone but acted synergistically with low concentrations of fetal calf serum to greatly stimulate DNA synthesis. Furthermore, pig aortic EC treated with TPA for 24 h to down-regulate PKC exhibited only 25% of the serum-stimulated mitogenic activity of control cultures. These results suggest a role for PKC activation and translocation in the proliferation of pig aortic EC. 相似文献

Human fibroblasts, cultured in medium containing 10% fetal calf serum, responded dramatically to choleragen with an increase in cyclic adenosine monophosphate content to greater than 48 times basal levels. Analysis of these cells for gangliosides indicated that the major ganglioside was N-acetylneuraminylgalactosylglucosylceramide (GM3) with trace amounts (less than or equal to 100 pmol/mg of protein) of other gangliosides including GM1, the putative choleragen receptor. Although the cells contained three glycosyltransferases required for ganglioside synthesis, the N-acetylgalactosaminyltransferase activity necessary for the conversion of GM3 to more complex gangliosides was not detected. When the cells were grown in medium containing [14C]galactose or N-acety[3H]mannosamine, however, all of the gangliosides became labeled, indicating that the cells can synthesize complex gangliosides. Although fetal calf serum contains gangliosides including GM1, [3H]GM1 was taken up poorly from the growth medium and uptake at the rate observed could have accounted for less than 2% of the GM1 content of the cells. When the cells were incubated in chemically defined medium containing [3H]GM1 at the concentrations present in fetal calf serum, rapid uptake of the ganglioside occurred and the total GM1 content of the cells increased threefold in less than 3 h. Thus, although the cells are capable of binding exogenous gangliosides, the gangliosides in fetal calf serum are in a form not readily available to the cells. 相似文献

Mouse blastocysts continuously differentiate in vitro to the early somite stage with reconstituted rat tail collagen as the substrate for the attachment. In order for this to occur, it appears that two differentiation barriers must be overcome. The first, the formation of egg cylinders from the inner cell mass, can be overcome by incubating embryos in heat-inactivated fetal calf serum. The second, the formation of the early somite from the presomite stage, can be overcome by replacing fetal calf serum with human cord serum.Mouse blastocysts were initially incubated with calf serum in Eagle's minimum essential medium. After shedding the zona pellucida, the denuded blastocysts lay flat on the surface of the collagen. Soon thereafter, trophoblastic cells invaded the underlying collagen leaving the rounded inner cell mass protruding from the surface of the collagen. By replacing calf serum in the medium with fetal calf serum the inner cell mass differentiated into endoderm and ectoderm to form an egg cylinder.The egg cylinder rapidly became elongated and formed extraembryonic and embryonic regions. However, the embryonic region shrank from this point on in the fetal calf serum, and the resulting yolk sac formation did not contain the embryo proper. When fetal calf serum was replaced with human cord serum at the end of the egg cylinder stage (equivalent to embryos of about 7.5 days gestation) neural tissue, cardiac chambers, and somites were formed. 相似文献

An extracellular 1,4-α-d-glucan 6-α-d-glucosyltransferase [d-glucosyltransferase, 1,4-α-d-glucan:1,4-α-d-glucan(d-gluco 6-α-d-glucosyltransferase, EC 2.4.1.24] from Aspergillus niger R-27 has been purified and the kinetics of its proteolytic inactivation with subtilisin studied. The purified enzyme was shown to be homogeneous using disc polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis. It contained 16.0% mannose, 0.19% glucose and 2.95% 2-acetamido-2-deoxy-d-glucose. The characteristic feature of the proteolytic degradation of glucosyltransferase is rapid hydrolysis of ~12 peptide bonds per mol and the formation of an active intermediate product which is more resistant to further proteolysis, but is easily heat-inactivated. The isolation and some properties of glucosyltransferase are also described. 相似文献

Eggs were flushed from the oviducts of slaughtered gilts that had been inseminated after synchronization of estrus and ovulation with pregnant mare serum gonadotrophin (PMSG) and human chorionic gonadotrophin (HCG). Of 347 eggs collected at a recovery rate of 73.8%, 41.8% had not cleaved by 32 h after expected ovulation time. Of those cleaved, 86.9% were at the two-cell stage.Two-cell embryos were cultured in Dulbecco's medium containing either no protein or 20% of one of the following: lyophilized bovine serum albumin, lyophilized fetal calf serum or heat-inactivated serum from slaughter heifers, rabbits or barrows. Dulbecco's medium without protein did not support further development of embryos. Addition of heat-inactivated blood serum from slaughter heifers, rabbits or barrows resulted in development rates similar to those obtained by using commercially available products. Optimal embryonic development rates of 54.5% were obtained with addition of heat-inactivated bovine serum. Of the two-cell embryos only three (2.1%) developed past the four-cell stage in these culture media. 相似文献

The objective of this study was to compare the gastrin- and gastric inhibitory peptide (GIP)-releasing actions of bombesin, gastrin-releasing peptide (GRP)-27, neuromedin B, and GRP-10 in rats. Both bombesin and GRP-27 are potent stimulants of gastrin and GIP release, whereas neuromedin B and GRP-10 are less effective, on a molar basis. 相似文献

Normal guinea-pig endometrial cells, grown in primary culture, were made quiescent by serum depletion. Quiescent cells cultured in the control medium (containing 1% fetal calf serum treated with dextran-coated charcoal, DCC-FCS) showed a steady and weak rate of [3H]thymidine incorporation, but the addition of 15% fetal calf serum (FCS) or 10% DCC-FCS to the control medium induced a significant increase of DNA synthesis, demonstrating the responsiveness of the quiescent cells to stimulation. A lower but significant increase in [3H]thymidine incorporation was elicited by epidermal growth factor (EGF, 100 ng/ml) or insulin (10 micrograms/ml) added to the basal medium. Oestradiol-17 beta added to the control medium at concentrations ranging from 10(-10) to 10(-5) mol/l not only failed to increase but even inhibited [3H]thymidine incorporation at the highest concentrations tested. An additive effect was noticed when quiescent cells were incubated with oestradiol-17 beta (10(-9) mol/l) in the presence of 10% DCC-FCS, but no synergistic effect occurred when 2 x 10(-9) mol oestradiol-17 beta/l was combined with either EGF (100 ng/ml) or insulin (10 micrograms/ml). Oestradiol-17 beta appears unable alone to stimulate DNA synthesis in normal endometrial cells, but requires factor(s) present in fetal calf serum. 相似文献

Analysis of a crosslinked peptide from calf bone collagen: evidence that hydroxylysyl glycoside participates in the crosslink 总被引:10,自引:0,他引:10
A crosslinked, double-chained peptide has been isolated from calf bone collagen after digestion with crude bacterial collagenase. Initially, the 3H-labelled peptide was isolated from collagen that had been treated with [3H]-NaBH4, but an almost identical peptide was also isolated from collagen without prior reduction. After periodate oxidation of the reduced peptide the two component chains were resolved by further chromatography. Amino acid compositions showed that the peptide probably derived from an intermolecular crosslink between a carboxyterminal sequence of the collagen molecule and a sequence near the aminoterminus that previously has been shown to be the site of a glycosylated hydroxylysine residue. The crosslinking compound in the reduced peptide, hydroxylysinohydroxynorleucine, appeared to have derived mainly by reduction with borohydride of hydroxylysinooxonorleucine, the keto-amine rearranged form of the dehydro crosslink. The remaining hydroxyl group of the crosslink, the one not derived by reduction of the keto group, appeared to be glycosylated. 相似文献

Minimal ligand analysis of gastrin releasing peptide. Receptor binding and mitogenesis 总被引:1,自引:0,他引:1

Gastrin releasing peptide (GRP) is a peptide hormone containing 27 amino acids which is structurally analogous to the amphibian peptide bombesin. GRP serves a variety of physiological functions and has been implicated in the pathophysiology of small cell lung cancer. Previous work has demonstrated that the modified C terminus of GRP, N-acetyl-GRP-20-27, exerts full agonist activity in a variety of assay systems. However, no systematic comparison of binding of GRP fragments to its receptor and mitogenic potency has been reported. To investigate whether smaller GRP fragments could bind to the GRP receptor without stimulating mitogenesis, we performed binding inhibition and thymidine uptake assays with Swiss 3T3 fibroblasts. These studies were facilitated by the development of a novel tritiated GRP-based radioligand, [3H-Phe15] GRP-15-27, which exhibits enhanced chemical stability compared to iodinated GRP derivatives. We examined a series of C-terminal GRP fragments, from the pentapeptide to the octapeptide, with both N-acetyl and free amine moieties at the N terminus. N-Acetylated derivatives were more potent than their primary amine counterparts in both assays. Deletion of N-terminal residues from GRP-20-27 resulted in significant loss of potency in both assays: the EC50 values of N-acetyl-GRP-21-27 were 10(2)-fold higher than N-acetyl-GRP-20-27, those of N-acetyl-GRP-22-27 were 10(4)-fold higher, and N-acetyl-GRP-23-27 showed minimal activity at concentrations below 100 microM. These results suggest that 1) both His20 and Trp21 play an important role in binding of GRP to the receptor, and 2) for this series of N-terminal deletions, binding to the receptor and mitogenic activity are tightly coupled. 相似文献
