We studied the effects of protein kinase C (PKC) activation onendothelial cell surface expression and function of the proteolytically activated thrombin receptor 1 (PAR-1). Cell surface PAR-1 expression was assessed by immunofluorescence (using anti-PAR-1 monoclonal antibody), and receptor activation was assessed by measuring increases in cytosolic Ca2+ concentration inhuman dermal microvascular endothelial cells (HMEC) exposed to-thrombin or phorbol ester,12-O-tetradecanoylphorbol-13-acetate (TPA).Immunofluorescence showed that thrombin and TPA reduced the cellsurface expression of PAR-1. Prior exposure of HMEC to thrombin for 5 min desensitized the cells to thrombin, indicating homologous PAR-1desensitization. In contrast, prior activation of PKC with TPA produceddesensitization to thrombin and histamine, indicatingheterologous PAR-1 desensitization. Treatment of cells withstaurosporine, a PKC inhibitor, fully prevented heterologous desensitization, whereas thrombin-induced homologous desensitization persisted. Depletion of PKC isozymes(PKCI andPKCII) by transducing cellswith antisense cDNA of PKCIprevented the TPA-induced decrease in cell surface PAR-1 expression andrestored ~60% of the cytosolic Ca2+ signal in response tothrombin. In contrast, depletion of PKC isozymes did not affect theloss of cell surface PAR-1 and induction of homologous PAR-1desensitization by thrombin. Therefore, homologous PAR-1desensitization by thrombin occurs independently of PKC isozymes,whereas the PKC-activated pathway is important in signaling heterologous PAR-1 desensitization in endothelial cells. 相似文献

Neutrophil inhibitory factor (NIF), a 41-kD glycoprotein isolated from the canine hookworm, inhibits CD11b/CD18-dependent neutrophil adhesion by binding to CD11b. We studied the effects of NIF on neutrophil-dependent endothelial cell injury using bovine pulmonary microvessel endothelial cells grown on microporous filters. Endothelial injury was determined as an increase in the transendothelial 125I-albumin clearance rate (a measure of transendothelial permeability). Layering of neutrophils on the endothelial cell monolayer (ratio of 10 neutrophils: 1 endothelial cell) followed by activation of neutrophils with 500 nM of phorbol 12-myristate 13-acetate (PMA) increased transendothelial permeability of albumin by 3- to 4-fold over control monolayers. Pretreatment of neutrophils with NIF at concentrations of 100 nM and above prevented the increased permeability. Pretreatment of neutrophils with the anti-CD18 monoclonal antibody (mAb) IB4 similarly prevented the increase of permeability. Pretreatment of neutrophils with OKM-1, a control isotype-matched mAb directed against an irrelevant epitope on CD11b mAb, did not affect the neutrophil-dependent increase in permeability. NIF reduced the adhesion of neutrophils at concentrations of ≥100 nM and this effect was abolished by an anti-NIF polyclonal Ab. However, NIF did not prevent the generation of superoxide anions following PMA-induced activation of neutrophils layered on endothelial cell. These findings indicate that NIF inhibits the neutrophil-dependent endothelial injury by preventing CD11b/CD18-mediated neutrophil adhesion, but without altering the oxidant generating capacity of neutrophils interacting with the endothelial cell monolayer.

S-nitroso-N-acetyl-D,L-acetylpenicillamine (SNAP), a chemical donor of NO, inhibited serum- and basic fibroblast growth factor (bFGF)-stimulated cultured endothelial cell (EC) proliferation in a dose-dependent manner. The inhibitory effect of NO was reversible after washoff of SNAP-containing media. Measurement of nitrate and nitrite in the media of SNAP-treated EC indicated that decomposition of SNAP into NO reached a stable level at or before 24 h; proliferation of EC was significantly inhibited for another 48 h and recovered thereafter if no additional SNAP was added. The level of NO produced by inhibitory concentrations of SNAP was comparable to NO levels produced by the induction of inducible nitric oxide synthase (iNOS) in smooth muscle cells or retinal pigmented epithelial cells. The growth-inhibitory effect of NO was unlikely to be due to cytotoxicity since 1) cells never completely lost their proliferative capacity even after 10 days of exposure to repeated additions of SNAP, 2) the inhibitory effect was reversible upon removal of NO and with the passage of time, and 3) NO did not reduce the number of cells that were growth-arrested with TGF-β1. In addition to its mitogenic effect, bFGF induced pronounced phenotypic changes, including suppression of contact inhibition, altered cell morphology, and scattering of the cells, in BPAEC cultures, whereas cells treated simultaneously with bFGF and NO did not exhibit these changes. These observations suggest that NO contributes to the regulation of angiogenesis and reendothelialization, processes that require EC proliferation, migration, and differentiation. © 1996 Wiley-Liss, Inc. 相似文献

Continuous microvascular endothelium constitutively transfers protein from vessel lumen to interstitial space. Compelling recent biochemical, ultrastructural, and physiological evidence reviewed herein demonstrates that protein transport is not the result of barrier "leakiness" but, rather, is an active process occurring primarily in a transendothelial vesicular pathway. Protein accesses the vesicular pathway by means of caveolae open to the vessel lumen. Vascular tracer proteins appear in free cytoplasmic vesicles within minutes; contents of transport vesicles are rapidly deposited into the subendothelial matrix by exocytosis. Caveolin-1 deficiency eliminates caveolae and abolishes vesicular protein transport; interestingly, exchange vessels develop a compensatory transport mode through the opening of a paracellular permeability pathway. The evidence supports the transcytosis hypothesis and the concept that transcytosis is a fundamental component of transendothelial permeability of macromolecules. 相似文献

Caveolae-mediated endocytosis in endothelial cells is stimulated by the binding of albumin to gp60, a specific albumin-binding protein localized in caveolae. The activation of gp60 induces its cell surface clustering and association with caveolin-1, the caveolar-scaffolding protein. This interaction leads to G(i)-induced Src kinase activation, which in turn signals dynamin-2-mediated fission and directed migration of caveolae-derived vesicles from apical to basal membrane. In this study, we investigated the possible role of the Gbetagamma heterodimer in signaling G(i)-induced Src activation and subsequent caveolae-mediated endocytosis. We observed using rat lung microvascular endothelial cells that expression of the C terminus of beta-adrenergic receptor kinase (ct-betaARK), an inhibitor Gbetagamma signaling, prevented gp60-dependent Src activation as well as caveolae-mediated endocytosis and transcellular transport of albumin and uptake of cholera toxin subunit B, a specific marker of caveolae internalization. Expression of ct-betaARK also prevented Src-mediated tyrosine phosphorylation of caveolin-1 and dynamin-2 and the resultant phosphorylation-dependent association of dynamin-2 and caveolin-1. Also, the direct activation of Gbetagamma using a specific cell-permeant activating peptide (myristoylated-SIRKALNILGYPDYD) simulated the effects of gp60 in inducing Src activation, caveolin-1, and dynamin-2 phosphorylation as well as caveolae-mediated endocytosis of cholera toxin subunit B. The myristoylated-SIRKALNILGYPDYD peptide-induced responses were inhibited by the expression of ct-betaARK. Taken together, our results demonstrate that Gbetagamma activation of Src signals caveolae-mediated endocytosis and transendothelial albumin transport via transcytosis. 相似文献

We addressed the in vivo role of phosphatidylinositol 3-kinase-gamma (PI3K-gamma) in signaling the sequestration of polymorphonuclear leukocytes (PMNs) in lungs and in the mechanism of inflammatory lung vascular injury. We studied mice with deletion of the p110 catalytic subunit of PI3K-gamma (PI3K-gamma(-/-) mice). We measured lung tissue PMN sequestration, microvascular permeability, and edema formation after bacteremia induced by intraperitoneal Escherichia coli challenge. PMN infiltration into the lung interstitium in PI3K-gamma(-/-) mice as assessed morphometrically was increased 100% over that in control mice within 1 h after bacterial challenge. PI3K-gamma(-/-) mice also developed a greater increase in lung microvascular permeability after E. coli challenge, resulting in edema formation. The augmented lung tissue PMN sequestration in PI3K-gamma(-/-) mice was associated with increased expression of the PMN adhesive proteins CD47 and beta(3)-integrins. We observed increased association of CD47 and beta(3)-integrins with the extracellular matrix protein vitronectin in lungs of PI3K-gamma(-/-) mice after E. coli challenge. PMNs from these mice also showed increased beta(3)-integrin expression and augmented beta(3)-integrin-dependent PMN adhesion to vitronectin. These results point to a key role of PMN PI3K-gamma in negatively regulating CD47 and beta(3)-integrin expression in gram-negative sepsis. PI3K-gamma activation in PMNs induced by E. coli may modulate the extent of lung tissue PMN sequestration secondary to CD47 and beta(3)-integrin expression. Therefore, the level of PI3K-gamma activation may be an important determinant of PMN-dependent lung vascular injury. 相似文献

A large pool of folate exists in the large intestine of humans. Preliminary evidence, primarily in vitro, suggests that this folate may be bioavailable. The purpose of this study was to test the hypothesis that supplemental folic acid and bacterially synthesized folate are absorbed across the large intestine of piglets. The pig was used as an animal model because it resembles the human in terms of folate absorption, at least in the small intestine. A tracer of [3H]-folic acid or [3H]-para-aminobenzoic acid ([3H]-PABA), a precursor of bacterially synthesized folate, was injected into the cecum of 11-day-old piglets. Feces and urine were collected for 3 days. Thereafter, piglets were killed, and livers and kidneys harvested. [3H]-Folate was isolated from biological samples by affinity chromatography using immobilized milk folate binding proteins and counted using a scintillation counter. In piglets injected with [3H]-folic acid, the feces, liver, urine and kidneys accounted for 82.1%, 12.3%, 3.9% and 1.7% of recovered [3H]-folate, respectively. In piglets injected with [3H]-PABA, the amount of recovered bacterially synthesized folate in the feces, liver and urine was 85.1%, 0.4% and 14.6%, respectively. Twenty-three percent and 13% of tritium were recovered in samples examined (liver, kidney, fecal and urine) from piglets injected with [3H]-folic acid and [3H]-PABA, respectively. Using our estimates of [3H]-folic acid absorption and the total and percent monoglutamyl folate content of piglet feces, we predict that at least 18% of the dietary folate requirement for the piglet could be met by folate absorption across the large intestine. 相似文献

Endothelial cells exhibit regulated exocytosis in response to inflammatory mediators such as thrombin and histamine. The exocytosis of Weibel-Palade bodies (WPBs) containing von Willebrand factor, P-selectin, and interleukin-8 within minutes after stimulation is important for vascular homeostasis. SNARE proteins are key components of the exocytic machinery in neurons and some secretory cells, but their role in regulating exocytosis in endothelial cells is not well understood. We examined the function of SNARE proteins in mediating exocytosis of WPBs in endothelial cells. We identified the presence of syntaxin 4, syntaxin 3, and the high affinity syntaxin 4-regulatory protein Munc18c in human lung microvascular endothelial cells. Small interfering RNA-induced knockdown of syntaxin 4 (but not of syntaxin 3) inhibited exocytosis of WPBs as detected by the reduction in thrombin-induced cell surface P-selectin expression. Thrombin ligation of protease-activated receptor-1 activated the phosphorylation of syntaxin 4 and Munc18c, which, in turn, disrupted the interaction between syntaxin 4 and Munc18. Protein kinase Calpha activation was required for the phosphorylation of syntaxin 4 and Munc18c as well as the cell surface expression of P-selectin. We also observed that syntaxin 4 knockdown inhibited the adhesion of neutrophils to thrombin-activated endothelial cells, demonstrating the functional role of syntaxin 4 in promoting endothelial adhesivity. Thus, protease-activated receptor-1-induced protein kinase Calpha activation and phosphorylation of syntaxin 4 and Munc18c are required for the cell surface expression of P-selectin and the consequent binding of neutrophils to endothelial cells. 相似文献
