EGFR expression and EGF stimulation of proliferation in human liver carcinoma cells

Epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR) gene expression and growth stimulation of EGF on human hepatoma cells of cell lines BEL-7404 and SMMC-7721 were studied. 125I-EGF binding assay was used to measure the binding characteristics and the amounts of EGFR on these cells. The binding time course and the binding competition assay showed that the binding of 125I-EGF to 7404 cells was saturable and specific. Scatchard analysis of EGF binding curve indicated that 7404 and 7721 cells expressed approximately 1.1 x 10(5) and 0.7 x 10(5) EGFRs per cell with binding affinity (Kd) 2.1 nM and 1.8 nM respectively. Northern hybridization and immunoblotting analysis showed the EGFR gene expression products in 7404 and 7721 cells were 5.6 Kb mRNA and 170 Kilo-dalton glycoprotein. Anchorage-dependent growth of 7404 and 7721 cells was stimulated in the presence of nanogram quantities of EGF in medium containing 10% calf serum or 0.5% calf serum. The factors in serum appeared to act synergitically in stimulating of cell proliferation. EGF also stimulated the anchorage-independent growth of 7404 and 7721 cells in soft agar. The results suggest that EGFR is actively expressed in human hepatoma 7404 and 7721 cells and EGF may be one of the mitogens needed for the growth of hepatoma cells.

Molecular cloning of rat cytolysin

Rat cytolysin is one of the cytolytic factors present in the cytoplasmic granules of rat NK-like cytolytic cells and purified cytolysin exhibits an apparent Mr or 70 kDa. Cytolysis produced by cytolysin occurs in the presence of Ca2+ and is accompanied by the formation of membrane lesions of 160 A diameter. We have isolated a cDNA encoding rat cytolysin from the cDNA library of a rat large granular lymphocyte (LGL) cell line, by hybridization of the rat library with a cDNA probe for mouse perforin. The amino acid sequence deduced from the nucleotide sequence of the isolated cDNA insert indicates that the mature cytolysin protein consist of 534 amino acids with a leader peptide of 20 amino acids. The protein contains two functionally important domains: the first domain is believed to contain the transmembrane channel and the second domain consists of an epidermal growth factor-type "class B" cysteine-rich region. A comparison with mouse perforin indicates that the two genes are very similar (89.9% nucleotide and 84.9% amino acid identity). Northern blot hybridization analysis indicates that cytolysin mRNA is expressed in rat lymphocytes (lymphokine-activated killer cells and LGL cells) and LGL cell lines.     

Pharmacologic profile of BN 50739, a new PAF antagonist in vitro and in vivo

The effect of a new PAF antagonist BN 50739 was studied on PAF-induced [3H]-serotonin release from washed rabbit platelets in vitro and on PAF-induced hypotension in vivo. BN 50739 competitively inhibited PAF-induced [3H]-serotonin release from the platelets in a dose-dependent manner. In the presence of 4, 10 and 50 nM of BN 50739, the concentration of PAF inducing 50% maximal [3H]-serotonin release from the platelets (EC50) increased from 2.15 nM to 5.10, 45.10 and 900 nM, respectively. The IC50 of BN 50739 for PAF (10 nM) induced [3H]-serotonin release was 3.67 nM. Under the same experimental condition, the IC50s of BN 50726, BN 50730, BN 50741, WEB 2086, SRI 63-441 and BN 52021 were 5.40, 4.61, 6.88, 5.98, 40.90 nM and 14.90 microM, respectively. PAF-induced hypotension in conscious rats was also inhibited dose-dependently by i.p. pretreatment of BN 50739 (3 and 10 mg/kg). PAF-induced hypotension was diminished both in magnitude and duration in rats pretreated with BN 50739. These data taken together indicate that BN 50739 is a most potent PAF antagonist in vitro and in vivo.     

Crystal structure of recombinant murine adipocyte lipid-binding protein.

Adipocyte lipid-binding protein (ALBP) is the adipocyte member of an intracellular hydrophobic ligand-binding protein family. ALBP is phosphorylated by the insulin receptor kinase upon insulin stimulation. The crystal structure of recombinant murine ALBP has been determined and refined to 2.5 A. The final R factor for the model is 0.18 with good canonical properties. Crystalline ALBP has a conformation which is essentially identical to that of intestinal fatty acid binding protein and myelin P2 protein. Although the crystal structure is of the apo- form, a cavity resembling that in other family members is present. It contains a number of bound and implied unbound water molecules and shows no large obvious portal to the external milieu. The cavity of ALBP, which by homology is the ligand-binding site, is formed by both polar and hydrophobic residues among which is tyrosine 19. Y19 is phosphorylated by the insulin receptor kinase as described in the accompanying paper [Buelt, M. K., Xu, Z., Banaszak, L. J., & Bernlohr, D. A. (1992) Biochemistry (following paper in this issue)]. By comparing ALBP with the earlier structural results on intestinal fatty acid binding protein, it is now possible to delineate conserved amino acids which help form the binding site in this family.

Expression of mammalian liver glycolytic/ gluconeogenic enzymes in Escherichia coli: Recovery of active enzyme is strain and temperature dependent

A number of mammalian enzymes have been expressed in Escherichia coli using the T7 RNA polymerase system, but the production of large amounts of these proteins has been limited by the low percentage of active enzyme that is found in the soluble fraction. In this report the effect of induction temperature was tested on the recovery of four rat liver enzymes, 6-phosphofructo-2-kinase/fructose-2,6- bisphosphatase, fructose-2,6-bisphosphatase, glucokinase, and fructose-1,6-bisphosphatase. We also tested the effect using a host cell strain that contains a plasmid encoding T7 lysozyme, an inhibitor of T7 RNA polymerase. Large amounts of the first three enzymes accumulated in the cells after 4 h of induction at 37 degrees C, but only about 1-2% of the total expressed proteins were recovered in a soluble, active form. When the induction was carried out at 22 degrees C for 48 h with the pLysS strain, 20- to 30-fold higher amounts of the active expressed enzymes were recovered in the soluble fraction, even though the total accumulation and the rate of synthesis of these proteins were reduced. The optimal concentration of isopropyl-1-thio-beta-D-galactopyranoside required for induction was the same at both temperatures. On the other hand, the recovery of active fructose-1,6-bisphosphatase, a heat-stable enzyme, was 66% at 37 degrees C and was essentially unchanged at an induction temperature of 22 degrees C. Lowered induction temperature would appear to be of utility for enhanced recovery of active mammalian enzymes which are insoluble in E. coli cytosol at 37 degrees C.(ABSTRACT TRUNCATED AT 250 WORDS)
