Summary A quantitative evaluation of lectin binding to adult rat hepatocyte cell surfaces was done using cells isolated by two different
collagenase perfusion methodologies and cultured as monolayers with two different tissue culture media formulations (protocol
I vs. protocol II). The presence of α-D-mannosyl and α-D-glucosyl groups was detected by the binding of Concanavalin A (Con
A), Lens culinaris agglutinin (LCA), and Pisum sativum agglutinin (PSA) to freshly isolated cells. Furthermore, β-D-galactose
[Ricinus communis agglutinin (RCA)] and sialic acid residues [wheat germ (WGA)] were also found. Protocols I and II served
as models for evaluation of: a) the stripping effect of collagenase separation procedures, b) the restoration in culture of
collagenase-stripped sugar residues, c) the effect of the culture environment on cell viability [as measured by lactic acid
dehydrogenase (LDH) leakage] and the protein content of hepatocytes, and d) the presence of cell surface sugar residues as
a function of culture duration. The ultrastructural morphology of freshly isolated and cultured hepatocytes was also evaluated.
These studies indicated that a decline in lectin binding invariably occurred earlier than a massive leakage of LDH and a decrease
in the protein content of the cells in culture. Ultrastructurally, autophagocytosis was an early phenomenon in cells isolated
and cultured by protocol I, which was also inferior to protocol II regarding the preservation of hepatocyte glycocalyces.
Sugar residues lost due to the collagenase-stripping effect were restored, as shown by lectin binding, within the first 24
h of culture. This stripping effect was confirmed by quantitative evaluations of lectin binding to hepatocytes in culture
after an incubation with collagenase. This study shows that the binding of peroxidase-labeled lectins is a useful tool for
quantitative evaluation of the sugar composition of hepatocyte cultures.

Many organelles change their shape in the course of the cell cycle or in response to environmental conditions. Lysosomes undergo drastic changes of shape during microautophagocytosis, which include the invagination of their boundary membrane and the subsequent scission of vesicles into the lumen of the organelle. The mechanism driving these structural changes is enigmatic. We have begun to analyze this process by reconstituting microautophagocytosis in a cell-free system. Isolated yeast vacuoles took up fluorescent dyes or reporter enzymes in a cytosol-, ATP-, and temperature-dependent fashion. During the uptake reaction, vacuolar membrane invaginations, called autophagic tubes, were observed. The reaction resulted in the transient formation of autophagic bodies in the vacuolar lumen, which were degraded upon prolonged incubation. Under starvation conditions, the system reproduced the induction of autophagocytosis and depended on specific gene products, which were identified in screens for mutants deficient in autophagocytosis. Microautophagic uptake depended on the activity of the vacuolar ATPase and was sensitive to GTPgammaS, indicating a requirement for GTPases and for the vacuolar membrane potential. However, microautophagocytosis was independent of known factors for vacuolar fusion and vesicular trafficking. Therefore, scission of the invaginated membrane must occur via a novel mechanism distinct from the homotypic fusion of vacuolar membranes. 相似文献

Summary— Zebrafish hepatocytes respond to stimulation with estradiol 17β (E2) with an extreme enlargement of the endomembrane system, especially the endoplasmic reticulum (ER), and when stimulation is stopped with a rapid degradation of enlarged endomembranes. Two pathways for degradation of ER were studied: a) the autophagy which was evaluated by stereological measurement; and b) the activity of cytosolic phospholipase B (PL-B) measured by a titration method. After a 30-day treatment with E2 a six-fold increase of the surface density of ER was accompanied by an increase of both autophagy and PL-B activity. 2 days after stopping the stimulation with E2 the ER vesiculated and its surface density decreased to the half value. Interestingly, at the same time autophagic vacuoles (AV) almost disappeared from hepatocytes, while the activity of PL-B reached its maximum at which it persisted for a further 4 days. After 4–6 days without E2 the cistern of ER became flattened again and new AVs reappeared. The data suggest that the regulation mechanisms of endomembrane degradation by PL-B and autophagy do not depend on each other and also that the appearance of AV is strongly related to the shape of ER. 相似文献
