Summary In the present study lectin-binding sites were investigated for the lectins Ricinus communis agglutinin (RCA I), wheat germ agglutinin (WGA), soya bean agglutinin (SBA), concanavalin A (Con A), Lotus tetragonolobus(LTA) and Limulus polyphemus agglutinin (LPA) during the initial stages of vasculogenesis of the CNS-anlage in 10 to 12-day-old NMRI mouse embryos. Specific binding sites for the lectins RCA I (sugar specificity: -D-galactose, N-acetylgalactosamine), WGA (sugar specificity: N-acetylglucosamine, sialic acid), and SBA (sugar specificity: N-acetylgalactosamine, -D-galactose) were detected in the newly formed capillaries within the neuroepithelial cell layer. In contrast, binding sites for Con A, LTA and LPA could not be observed at the start of the vascularization of the CNS-anlage. From these results, the conclusion can be drawn that glycoconjugates containing D-galactose, N-acetylgalactosamine and N-acetyl-glucosamine moieties are involved in the early vasculogenesis of the embryonic CNS-anlage of the mouse. 相似文献

TNFR1/Fas engagement results in the cleavage of cytosolic Bid to truncated Bid (tBid), which translocates to mitochondria. We demonstrate that recombinant tBid induces in vitro immediate destabilization of the mitochondrial bioenergetic homeostasis. These alterations result in mild uncoupling of mitochondrial state-4 respiration, associated with an inhibition the adenosine diphosphate (ADP)-stimulated respiration and phosphorylation rate. tBid disruption of mitochondrial homeostasis was inhibited in mitochondria overexpressing Bcl-2 and Bcl-XL. The inhibition of state-3 respiration is mediated by the reorganization of cardiolipin within the mitochondrial membranes, which indirectly affects the activity of the ADP/ATP translocator. Cardiolipin-deficient yeast mitochondria did not exhibit any respiratory inhibition by tBid, proving the absolute requirement for cardiolipin for tBid binding and activity. In contrast, the wild-type yeast mitochondria underwent a similar inhibition of ADP-stimulated respiration associated with reduced ATP synthesis. These events suggest that mitochondrial lipids rather than proteins are the key determinants of tBid-induced destabilization of mitochondrial bioenergetics. 相似文献

Proteolytic cleavage of the nuclear enzyme poly(ADP-ribose) polymerase (PARP) to fragments of 89 kD and 24 kD is widely observed during apoptotic cell death. In the present study, labelling of a Mr 89000 polypeptide was demonstrated in untreated mouse LTA cells during probing of immunoblots with C-2-10 monoclonal anti-PARP antibody. The source of the labeling was traced to the secondary antibody preparation, which labeled a Mr ~89000 polypeptide in murine LTA cells but not in human cells. These observations indicate that assessment of PARP cleavage must be (1) performed with appropriate controls when new cell lines are investigated and (2) carefully interpreted in light of additional biochemical or morphological data demonstrating apoptotic changes. 相似文献

Sindbis virus (SV) induces apoptosis in many vertebrate cells, but the mechanism is unknown. To gain insight into this mechanism, the nature and time course of intracellular changes related to programmed cell death were studied in SV-infected mouse neuroblastoma cells. New virus production began at 5 h after infection and reach a peak at 12 h. Hoechst 33342 staining of DNA analyzed by flow cytometry demonstrated changes in chromatin beginning 6 h after infection. These chromatin changes were cell cycle dependent, affecting cells in G0/G1 but not S phase. Apoptosis was not dependent on increases in intracellular Ca2+ and occurred more rapidly in the absence of extracellular Ca2+. Nuclear changes were accompanied by activation of the DNA repair enzyme poly(ADP-ribose) polymerase (PARP), resulting in increased consumption of NAD which was apparent by 10 h after infection. SV-induced apoptosis also involved the proteolytic cleavage of PARP. This cleavage was detectable at 16 h after infection approximately the same time that DNA fragmentation was apparent by agarose gel electrophoresis. We conclude that SV-induced apoptosis of neuroblastoma cells is dependent on viral replication, is not dependent on a rise in intracellular Ca2+, and is accompanied by activation of PARP and of a protease that cleaves PARP. 相似文献

Adenine deoxynucleosides, such as 2-chlorodeoxyadenosine (2CdA) and fludarabine, induce apoptosis in quiescent lymphocytes, and are thus useful drugs for the treatment of indolent lymphoproliferative diseases. We previously demonstrated that that the 5'-triphosphate metabolite of 2CdA (2CdATP), similar to dATP, can cooperate with cytochrome c and apoptosis protein-activating factor-1 (APAF-1) to trigger a caspase pathway in a HeLa cell-free system. We used a fluorometry-based assay of caspase activation to extend the analysis to several other clinically relevant adenine deoxynucleotides in B-chronic lymphocytic leukemia extracts. The nucleotide-induced caspase activation displayed typical Michaelis-Menten kinetics. As estimated by the V(max)/K(m) ratios, the relative efficiencies of different nucleotides were Ara-ATP > 9-fluoro-9-beta-D-arabinofuranosyladenine 5'-triphosphate > dATP > 2CdATP > 9-beta-D-arabinofuranosylguanine 5'-triphosphate > dADP > ATP. In contrast to dADP, both ADP and its nonhydrolyzable alpha, beta-methylphosphonate analog were strong inhibitors of APAF-1-dependent caspase activation. The hierarchy of nucleotide activation was confirmed in a fully reconstituted system using recombinant APAF-1 and recombinant procaspase-9. These results suggest that the potency of adenine deoxynucleotides as co-factors for APAF-1-dependent caspase activation is due both to stimulation by the 5'-triphosphates and lack of inhibition by the 5'-diphosphates. The capacity of adenine deoxynucleoside metabolites to activate the apoptosome pathway may be an additional biochemical mechanism that plays a role in the chemotherapy of indolent lymphoproliferative diseases. 相似文献
