Human salivary carbonic anhydrase (HCA VI) was purified by inhibitor affinity chromatography and its location in the human parotid and submandibular glands identified, using a polyclonal antiserum raised against the purified enzyme in rabbits in conjunction with the peroxidase-antiperoxidase complex method. The antibodies raised against the purified enzyme in rabbits did not crossreact with the HCA II or I. However, they slightly recognized human IgA; the antiserum was therefore absorbed with human IgA before immunohistochemical use. HCA VI-specific staining was detected in the cytoplasm and particularly in the secretory granules of the serous acinar cells of both parotid and submandibular glands, the staining of the secretory granules being most distinct in paraformaldehyde-fixed tissues. Some epithelial cells and the luminal content of the striated ducts also gave a specific HCA VI staining. Staining specific for HCA II was also found in the granules of the serous acinar cells, particularly in the submandibular gland when Carnoy fluid fixation was used. Slight HCA II-specific staining was also detected in the striated ductal cells in the Carnoy fluid-fixed specimens. No staining specific for HCA I was detected. The results indicate that the serous acinar cells in human parotid and submandibular glands contain abundant HCA II and HCA VI. Interestingly, only HCA VI is secreted into the saliva, although both enzymes appear to be located in structures resembling the secretory granules in the acinar cells. The enzymes probably form a mutually complementary system regulating the salivary buffer capacity. 相似文献

Weight discordance is very rare in monozygotic (MZ) twin pairs; when found, however, such pairs are advantageous in the search for either environmental or epigenetic causes and consequences of obesity. We analyzed the growth patterns of young adult MZ pairs discordant and concordant for obesity. Screening 5 consecutive birth cohorts (1975-1979) of 22- to 27-year-old Finnish twins (the FinnTwin16 study), we found 14 obesity discordant (Body Mass Index [BMI] difference > or = 4 kg/m2) MZ pairs out of 658. Ten pairs participated in clinical studies. Nine concordant pairs (BMI difference < or = 2 kg/m2) were examined as controls. Lifetime measured heights and weights recorded in hospitals and health centers were traced manually. Height development was similar in all the co-twins of both groups. The weight differences between the co-twins of the discordant pairs began to emerge at 18 years leading to an average discordance of 16.4 kg, 5.6 kg/m2 (p for both = .005) at 25.7 years. The heavier co-twin weighed 221 g (p = .066), 1.0 kg/m2 (p = .01) more already at birth than the leaner, but the differences waned by 6 months of age and reappeared only after adolescence. Both the leaner and the heavier co-twins of the discordant pairs weighed more than expected by the singleton reference values (Cole et al., 1998) after 8 years. The concordant co-twins, on the other hand, grew similarly and after 6 months, their mean growth was not distinguishable from the singleton patterns. Young adulthood represents a critical period of gaining weight irrespective of genetic background in this twin sample. 相似文献

AbstractCarbonic anhydrases (CAs) are metalloenzymes, and classified into the evolutionarily distinct α, β, γ, δ, ζ, and η classes. α-CAs are present in many living organisms. β- and γ-CAs are expressed in most prokaryotes and eukaryotes, except for vertebrates. δ- and ζ-CAs are present in phytoplanktons, and η-CAs have been found in Plasmodium spp. Since the identification of α- and β-CAs in Caenorhabditis elegans, the nematode CAs have been considered as an emerging target in research focused on antiparasitic CA inhibitors. Despite the presence of α-CAs in both helminths and vertebrates, structural studies have revealed different kinetic and inhibition results. Moreover, lack of β-CAs in vertebrates makes this enzyme as an attractive target for inhibitory studies against helminthic infection. Some CA inhibitors, such as sulfonamides, have been evaluated against nematode CAs. This review article aims to present comprehensive information about the nematode CAs and their inhibitors as potential anthelminthic drugs. 相似文献

The inhibition of the newly discovered cytosolic carbonic anhydrase isozyme XIII (CA XIII) has been investigated with a series of aromatic and heterocyclic sulfonamides, including some of the clinically used derivatives, such as acetazolamide, methazolamide, dichlorophenamide, dorzolamide, and valdecoxib. Inhibition data for the physiologically relevant isozymes I and II (cytosolic forms) and the tumor associated isozyme IX (transmembrane) were also provided for comparison. A very interesting and unusual inhibition profile against CA XIII with these sulfonamides has been observed. The clinically used compounds (except valdecoxib, which was a weak CA XIII inhibitor) potently inhibit CA XIII, with Ki's in the range of 17-23 nM, whereas sulfanilamide, halogenated sulfanilamides, homosulfanilamide, 4-aminoethylbenzenesulfonamide, and orthanilamide were slightly less effective, with Ki's in the range of 32-56 nM. Several low nanomolar (Ki's in the range of 1.3-2.4 nM) CA XIII inhibitors have also been detected, all of them belonging to the sulfanilyl-sulfonamide type of inhibitors, of which aminobenzolamide is the best known representative. Because CA XIII is an active isozyme predominantly expressed in salivary glands, kidney, brain, lung, gut, uterus, and testis, where it probably plays an important role in pH regulation, its inhibition by sulfonamides may lead to novel therapeutic applications for this class of pharmacological agents. 相似文献

Expression of transmembrane carbonic anhydrase isoenzymes IX and XII in normal human pancreas and pancreatic tumours 总被引:1,自引:1,他引:0
Kivelä AJ Parkkila S Saarnio J Karttunen TJ Kivelä J Parkkila AK Pastoreková S Pastorek J Waheed A Sly WS Rajaniemi H 《Histochemistry and cell biology》2000,114(3):197-204
Carbonic anhydrase (CA) IX and XII are transmembrane isoenzymes which are expressed in several epithelia and overexpressed in some carcinomas. They have recently been linked to von Hippel-Lindau gene-mediated carcinogenesis in that both isoenzymes are downregulated by the product of the wild-type von Hippel-Lindau tumour suppressor gene. This paper describes the localisation of CA IX and XII in the normal human pancreas and pancreatic tumours. Both isoenzymes showed positive reaction in the basolateral plasma membrane of the normal acinar and ductal epithelia. The hyperplastic ductal epithelium in tumour specimens generally showed an increased staining for CA IX. Of 29 malignant tumours of exocrine pancreas, 10 showed moderate or strong immunoreaction for CA IX. The signal for CA XII remained weak in most malignant lesions. The present results show that both CA IX and XII are unevenly expressed in the ductal and acinar compartments of the human pancreas. The expression of these isoenzymes in a relatively low number of malignant tumour specimens suggests that they have a limited value in diagnostic evaluation of pancreatic carcinoma. However, the increased expression of CA IX in hyperplastic ductal epithelium may contribute to the pancreatic tumourigenesis. 相似文献

The carbonic anhydrase (CA) gene family has been reported to consist of at least 11 enzymatically active members and a few inactive homologous proteins. Recent analyses of human and mouse databases provided evidence that human and mouse genomes contain genes for still another novel CA isozyme hereby named CA XIII. In the present study, we modeled the structure of human CA XIII. This model revealed a globular molecule with high structural similarity to cytosolic isozymes, CA I, II, and III. Recombinant mouse CA XIII showed catalytic activity similar to those of mitochondrial CA V and cytosolic CA I, with k(cat)/K(m) of 4.3 x 10(7) m(-1) s(-1), and k(cat) of 8.3 x 10(4) s(-1). It is very susceptible to inhibition by sulfonamide and anionic inhibitors, with inhibition constants of 17 nm for acetazolamide, a clinically used sulfonamide, and of 0.25 microm, for cyanate, respectively. Using panels of cDNAs we evaluated human and mouse CA13 gene expression in a number of different tissues. In human tissues, positive signals were identified in the thymus, small intestine, spleen, prostate, ovary, colon, and testis. In mouse, positive tissues included the spleen, lung, kidney, heart, brain, skeletal muscle, and testis. We also investigated the cellular and subcellular localization of CA XIII in human and mouse tissues using an antibody raised against a polypeptide of 14 amino acids common for both human and mouse orthologues. Immunohistochemical staining showed a unique and widespread distribution pattern for CA XIII compared with the other cytosolic CA isozymes. In conclusion, the predicted amino acid sequence, structural model, distribution, and activity data suggest that CA XIII represents a novel enzyme, which may play important physiological roles in several organs. 相似文献

Expression of membrane-bound carbonic anhydrases (CAs) of CA IV, CA IX, CA XII, and CA XIV has been investigated in the mouse heart. Western blots using microsomal membranes of wild-type hearts demonstrate a 39-, 43-, and 54-kDa band representing CA IV, CA IX, and CA XIV, respectively, but CA XII could not be detected. Expression of CA IX in the CA IV/CA XIV knockout animals was further confirmed using matrix-assisted laser desorption ionization time-of-flight mass spectrometry. Cardiac cells were immunostained using anti-CA/FITC and anti-alpha-actinin/TRITC, as well as anti-CA/FITC and anti-SERCA2/TRITC. Subcellular CA localization was investigated by confocal laser scanning microscopy. CA localization in the sarcolemmal (SL) membrane was examined by double immunostaining using anti-CA/FITC and anti-MCT-1/TRITC. CAs showed a distinct distribution pattern in the sarcoplasmic reticulum (SR) membrane. CA XIV is predominantly localized in the longitudinal SR, whereas CA IX is mainly expressed in the terminal SR/t-tubular region. CA IV is present in both SR regions, whereas CA XII is not found in the SR. In the SL membrane, only CA IV and CA XIV are present. We conclude that CA IV and CA XIV are associated with the SR as well as with the SL membrane, CA IX is located in the terminal SR/t-tubular region, and CA XII is not present in the mouse heart. Therefore, the unique subcellular localization of CA IX and CA XIV in cardiac myocytes suggests different functions of both enzymes in excitation-contraction coupling. 相似文献

Expression of carbonic anhydrases II, IV, VII, VIII and XII in rat brain after kainic acid induced status epilepticus 总被引:2,自引:0,他引:2
Carbonic anhydrases (CAs) are important enzymes in the central nervous system (CNS), where they participate in regulating cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) secretion, blood-brain barrier and glial cell function. Using RT-PCR we found CA XII mRNA in rat and mouse brain. Cloning of rat CA XII revealed 94% homology with the mouse CA XII. To map the putative functional roles of different CAs, we studied the expression and localization of CA II, CA IV, CA VII, CA-related protein (CA-RP) VIII and CA XII mRNAs in rat brain after kainic acid induced epileptic seizures using Northern blot analysis and in situ hybridization. The expression of CA IV, CA VII and CA-RP VIII was somewhat similar: they were expressed in the cortex, hippocampus and midbrain structures and their expression did not change after the kainic acid treatment. The expression of CA II was concentrated in the white matter structures, which is in line with the preferential expression of CA II in the oligodendrocytes. High levels of CA II mRNA were also detected in the choroid plexus. Surprisingly, CA II was induced 3-12 h after seizures in the vulnerable CA1 region. CA XII was expressed in dentate granule cells, cortex and choroid plexus. Kainic acid stimulated CA XII expression throughout the cortical layer I. The observed hippocampal induction of CA II may indicate a pro-apoptotic and/or epileptogenic role of CA II after prolonged seizures. The physiological significance of the observed cortical induction of CA XII remains obscure. Cytosolic CA II is known to participate in CSF secretion, and the high expression of CA XII in the choroid plexus suggests an analogous role for this membrane-bound isozyme. 相似文献
