Hypoxia during the expansion of adipocytes is known to contribute both to the secretion of multiple inflammation-related adipokines as well as to obesity. We therefore investigated the nature of protein changes occurring in adipocytes during hypoxia by observation of the intracellular proteins that are expressed in 3T3-L1 adipocytes. Lysates were utilized for quantitative proteome analysis using isobaric tags for relative and absolute quantitation (iTRAQ) combined with peptide separation by multi-dimensional liquid chromatography. Antioxidants and elongation factors, as well as glycolytic enzymes were increased in hypoxic adipocytes. These changes were supported by similar changes suggested by real-time PCR. The proteins showing changes are all potential targets for revering the mechanism behind the phenomenon of induction of obese adipocytes by hypoxia. This study can therefore aid in defining the proteomic changes that occur in adipocytes in response to oxygen stress, and can further characterize adipocyte metabolism and adaptation to low oxygen conditions. 相似文献

Activation of CD38 in lymphokine-activated killer (LAK) cells involves interleukin-8 (IL8)-mediated protein kinase G (PKG) activation and results in an increase in the sustained intracellular Ca(2+) concentration ([Ca(2+)](i)), cADP-ribose, and LAK cell migration. However, direct phosphorylation or activation of CD38 by PKG has not been observed in vitro. In this study, we examined the molecular mechanism of PKG-mediated activation of CD38. Nonmuscle myosin heavy chain IIA (MHCIIA) was identified as a CD38-associated protein upon IL8 stimulation. The IL8-induced association of MHCIIA with CD38 was dependent on PKG-mediated phosphorylation of MHCIIA. Supporting these observations, IL8- or cell-permeable cGMP analog-induced formation of cADP-ribose, increase in [Ca(2+)](i), and migration of LAK cells were inhibited by treatment with the MHCIIA inhibitor blebbistatin. Binding studies using purified proteins revealed that the association of MHCIIA with CD38 occurred through Lck, a tyrosine kinase. Moreover, these three molecules co-immunoprecipitated upon IL8 stimulation of LAK cells. IL8 treatment of LAK cells resulted in internalization of CD38, which co-localized with MHCIIA and Lck, and blebbistatin blocked internalization of CD38. These findings demonstrate that the association of phospho-MHCIIA with Lck and CD38 is a critical step in the internalization and activation of CD38. 相似文献

A library of compounds targeted to the vasopressin/oxytocin family of receptors was screened for activity at a cloned human oxytocin receptor using a reporter gene assay. Potency and selectivity were optimised to afford compound 39, EC50 = 33 nM. This series of compounds represents the first disclosed, non-peptide, low molecular weight agonists of the hormone oxytocin (OT). 相似文献

Complexin activates and clamps neurotransmitter release; impairing complexin function decreases synchronous, but increases spontaneous and asynchronous synaptic vesicle exocytosis. Here, we show that complexin-different from the Ca(2+) sensor synaptotagmin-1-activates synchronous exocytosis by promoting synaptic vesicle priming, but clamps spontaneous and asynchronous exocytosis-similar to synaptotagmin-1-by blocking a secondary Ca(2+) sensor. Activation and clamping functions of complexin depend on distinct, autonomously acting sequences, namely its N-terminal region and accessory α helix, respectively. Mutations designed to test whether the accessory α helix of complexin clamps exocytosis by inserting into SNARE-complexes support this hypothesis, suggesting that the accessory α helix blocks completion of trans-SNARE-complex assembly until Ca(2+) binding to synaptotagmin relieves this block. Moreover, a juxtamembranous mutation in the SNARE-protein synaptobrevin-2, which presumably impairs force transfer from nascent trans-SNARE complexes onto fusing membranes, also unclamps spontaneous fusion by disinhibiting a secondary Ca(2+) sensor. Thus, complexin performs mechanistically distinct activation and clamping functions that operate in conjunction with synaptotagmin-1 by controlling trans-SNARE-complex assembly. 相似文献

Adipogenesis is a complex process that is accompanied by a number of molecular events. In this study, a proteomic approach was adopted to identify secretory factors associated with adipogenesis. A label‐free shotgun proteomic strategy was implemented to analyze proteins secreted by human adipose stromal vascular fraction cells and differentiated adipocytes. A total of 474 proteins were finally identified and classified according to quantitative changes and statistical significances. Briefly, 177 proteins were significantly upregulated during adipogenesis (Class I), whereas 60 proteins were significantly downregulated (Class II). Changes in the expressions of several proteins were confirmed by quantitative RT‐PCR and immunoblotting. One obvious finding based on proteomic data was that the amounts of several extracellular modulators of Wnt and transforming growth factor‐β (TGF‐β) signaling changed during adipogenesis. The expressions of secreted frizzled‐related proteins, dickkopf‐related proteins, and latent TGF‐β‐binding proteins were found to be altered during adipogenesis, which suggests that they participate in the fine regulation of Wnt and TGF‐β signaling. This study provides useful tools and important clues regarding the roles of secretory factors during adipogenic differentiation, and provides information related to obesity and obesity‐related metabolic diseases. 相似文献
