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

While the molecular mechanisms by which oxidants cause cytotoxicity are still poorly understood, disruption of Ca(2+) homeostasis appears to be one of the critical alterations during the oxidant-induced cytotoxic process. Here, we examined the possibility that oxidative stress may alter the metabolism of cyclic ADP-ribose (cADPR), a potent Ca(2+)-mobilizing second messenger in the heart. Isolated heart perfused by Langendorff technique was subjected to ischemia/reperfusion injury and endogenous cADPR level was determined using a specific radioimmunoassay. Following ischemia/reperfusion injury, a significant increase in intracellular cADPR level was observed. The elevation of cADPR content was closely correlated with the increase in ADP-ribosyl cyclase activity. Inclusion of oxygen free radical scavengers, 2,2,6,6-tetramethyl-1-piperidinyloxy and mannitol, in the reperfusate prevented the ischemia/reperfusion-induced increases in cADPR level and the ADP-ribosyl cyclase activity. Exposure of isolated cardiomyocytes to t-butyl hydroperoxide increased the ADP-ribosyl cyclase activity, cADPR level, and intracellular Ca(2+) concentration ([Ca(2+)](i)) and consequently resulting in cell lethal damage. The oxidant-induced elevation of [Ca(2+)](i) as well as cell lethal damage was blocked by a cADPR antagonist, 8-bromo-cADPR. These results provide evidence for involvement of cADPR and its producing enzyme in alteration of Ca(2+) homeostasis during the ischemia/reperfusion injury of the heart. 相似文献

The aim of this study was to investigate whether brachial-ankle pulse wave velocity (baPWV) is associated with the severity of coronary artery disease (CAD) assessed by coronary computed tomography angiography (CCTA), and to evaluate baPWV as a predictor of obstructive CAD on CCTA. A total of 470 patients who underwent both baPWV and CCTA were included. We evaluated stenosis degree and plaque characteristics on CCTA. To estimate the severity of CAD, we calculated the number of segment with plaque (segment involvement score; SIS), stenosis degree-weighted plaque score (segment stenosis score; SSS), and coronary artery calcium score (CACS). The mean baPWV was 1,485 ± 315 cm/s (range, 935-3,175 cm/s). Non-obstructive (stenosis < 50%) and obstructive (stenosis ≥ 50%) CAD was found in 129 patients (27.4%) and 144 (30.6%), respectively. baPWV in patients with obstructive CAD was higher than that of patients with non-obstructive (1,680 ± 396 cm/s versus 1,477 ± 244 cm/s, P < 0.001) or no CAD (1,680 ± 396 cm/s versus ± 196 1,389 cm/s, P < 0.001). baPWV showed significant correlation with SSS (r = 0.429, P < 0.001), SIS (r = 0.395, P < 0.001), CACS (r 0.346, P < 0.001), and the number of segment with non-calcified plaque (r 0.092, P = 0.047), mixed plaque (r = 0.267, P < 0.001), and calcified plaque (r = 0.348, P < 0.001), respectively. The optimal baPWV cut-off value for the detection of obstructive CAD was 1,547 cm/s. baPWV ≥ 1,547 cm/s was independent predictor for the obstructive CAD. In conclusion, baPWV is well correlated with the severity of CAD evaluated by CCTA. baPWV has the potential to predict severity of coronary artery atherosclerosis. 相似文献

The retromer complex, which mediates retrograde transport from endosomes to the trans-Golgi network, is a heteropentameric complex that contains a multifunctional cargo recognition heterotrimer consisted of the vacuolar protein sorting (Vps) subunits Vps26, Vps29, and Vps35. In mammals, there are two different isoforms of Vps26, Vps26a and Vps26b, that localize to the endosome, and to the plasma membrane, respectively. To elucidate the biological significance of the Vps26b isoform, we generated Vps26b knockout mice and studied their molecular, histological, and behavioral phenotypes. We found that the loss of Vps26b results in no significant defects in the behavior, body size, and health of the mice. Vps26b-deficient mice showed a severe reduction of Vps35 protein at cellular level and lacked the Vps26b-Vps29-Vps35 retromer complex, despite the normal presence of the Vps26a-Vps29-Vps35 retromer complex. Relatively, the amount of sortilin was increased approximately 20% in the Vps26b-deficient mice, whereas the sorLA was normal. These results suggest that mouse Vps26b-Vps29-Vps35 retromer complex is implicated in the transport of sortilin from endosomes to the trans-Golgi network (TGN). 相似文献
