Rapid Purification

Alkaline phosphatase (APase) belongs to a growing family of membrane-associated proteins tethered to the lipid bilayer via a glycosyl-phosphatidylinositol (GPI) anchor. Human neutrophils contain an intracellular pool of APase associated with a novel membrane-bound compartment. Stimulation of neutrophils with the chemotactic peptide formyl-Met-Leu-Phe (fMLP) leads to rapid up-regulation of essentially all of the APase to sites in continuity with the extracellular medium. Pre-treatment of neutrophils with cytochalasin B (cyto B) followed by fMLP likewise leads to expression of the enzyme on the cell surface and a dramatic alteration in cell morphology, but subsequent internalization of the plasmalemma is minimized. Pre-treatment with cyto B and fMLP has been used for isolation and purification of neutrophil APase. Specifically, neutrophils were treated with phosphatidylinositol-specific phospholipase C to release GPI-anchored proteins from the cell surface. APase was purified from supernatants of these preparations by electrophoresis in a non-denaturing gel system and subsequent electroelution. With this approach we rapidly purified neutrophil APase to homogeneity; this protein was then used for immunization. Immunoblotting, ELISA, and immunocytochemical localization were used to characterize the resulting antibodies.

Abstract Alkaline phosphatase (ALP) is attached to the cell surface in mammalian tissues via a glycosyl-phosphatidylinositol (GPI) anchor and can be released from the membrane by GPI-specific phospholipases. In a range of cultured human cell lines, however, the sensitivity of ALP to phospholipases was observed to be variable in magnitude (approximately 20-90%). The mechanism of phospholipase resistance was explored with phospholipases of different bond specificities. The results suggest that phospholipase resistance is the result of acylation of the inositol ring in the GPI anchor. The occurrence of phospholipase-resistant forms of ALP may have important implications for the in vivo release and disposition of plasma ALP.

Specific Granules

Human neutrophils contain a novel intracellular compartment that is distinct from the previously characterized azurophil and specific granules. This compartment is distinguished by the presence of cytochemically detectable alkaline phosphatase activity. The alkaline phosphatase-containing compartments are short rod-shaped organelles that rapidly undergo a dramatic reorganization upon cell stimulation with either a chemoattractant or an active phorbol ester. Biochemical analysis shows that in unstimulated neutrophils the majority of the alkaline phosphatase activity is intracellular, but after stimulation essentially all of this activity becomes associated with the cell surface. The exocytotic pathway is unusual in that these small organelles fuse to form elongated tubular structures before their association with the plasmalemma.

Mode Of Attachment

Receptors are commonly defined in terms of number per cell, affinity for ligand, chemical structure, mode of attachment to the cell surface, and mechanism of signal transduction. We propose to show that knowledge of spatial distribution of receptors on the cell surface can provide additional clues to their function and components of functional control.L-selectin and Mac-1 denote two receptor populations on the neutrophil surface that mediate neutrophil-endothelial cell adherence interactions and provide for targeting of neutrophil recruitment to sites of inflammation. We have studied the spatial distributions of these receptors using LVSEM and backscatter imaging of isolated human neutrophils stained with mouse anti-receptor (primary) antibody and goat anti-mouse (secondary) antibody conjugated to 12 nm colloidal gold. This combination of techniques provides for three-dimensional analysis of the expression of these receptors on different surface membrane domains of the neutrophil: the ruffles and microvilli that project from the cell surface, and the cell body between these projecting structures.

The interactions of cells with their environment involve regulated actin-based motility at defined positions along the cell surface. Sphingolipid- and cholesterol-dependent microdomains (rafts) order proteins at biological membranes, and have been implicated in most signalling processes at the cell surface. Many membrane-bound components that regulate actin cytoskeleton dynamics and cell-surface motility associate with PtdIns(4,5)P2-rich lipid rafts. Although raft integrity is not required for substrate-directed cell spreading, or to initiate signalling for motility, it is a prerequisite for sustained and organized motility. Plasmalemmal rafts redistribute rapidly in response to signals, triggering motility. This process involves the removal of rafts from sites that are not interacting with the substrate, apparently through endocytosis, and a local accumulation at sites of integrin-mediated substrate interactions. PtdIns(4,5)P2-rich lipid rafts can assemble into patches in a process depending on PtdIns(4,5)P2, Cdc42 (cell-division control 42), N-WASP (neural Wiskott-Aldrich syndrome protein) and actin cytoskeleton dynamics. The raft patches are sites of signal-induced actin assembly, and their accumulation locally promotes sustained motility. The patches capture microtubules, which promote patch clustering through PKA (protein kinase A), to steer motility. Raft accumulation at the cell surface, and its coupling to motility are influenced greatly by the expression of intrinsic raft-associated components that associate with the cytosolic leaflet of lipid rafts. Among them, GAP43 (growth-associated protein 43)-like proteins interact with PtdIns(4,5)P2 in a Ca2+/calmodulin and PKC (protein kinase C)-regulated manner, and function as intrinsic determinants of motility and anatomical plasticity. Plasmalemmal PtdIns(4,5)P2-rich raft assemblies thus provide powerful organizational principles for tight spatial and temporal control of signalling in motility.

The use of human dental pulp stromal cells (hDPSCs) has gained increasing attention as an alternative stem cell source for bone tissue engineering. The modification of the cells’ epigenetics has been found to play an important role in regulating differentiation, with the inhibition of histone deacetylases 3 (HDAC3) being linked to increased osteogenic differentiation. This study aimed to induce epigenetic reprogramming using the HDAC2 and 3 selective inhibitor, MI192 to promote hDPSCs osteogenic capacity for bone regeneration. MI192 treatment caused a time–dose-dependent change in hDPSC morphology and reduction in viability. Additionally, MI192 successfully augmented hDPSC epigenetic functionality, which resulted in increased histone acetylation and cell cycle arrest at the G2/M phase. MI192 pre-treatment exhibited a dose-dependent effect on hDPSCs alkaline phosphatase activity. Quantitative PCR and In-Cell Western further demonstrated that MI192 pre-treatment significantly upregulated hDPSCs osteoblast-related gene and protein expression (alkaline phosphatase, bone morphogenic protein 2, type I collagen and osteocalcin) during osteogenic differentiation. Importantly, MI192 pre-treatment significantly increased hDPSCs extracellular matrix collagen production and mineralisation. As such, for the first time, our findings show that epigenetic reprogramming with the HDAC2 and 3 selective inhibitor MI192 accelerates the osteogenic differentiation of hDPSCs, demonstrating the considerable utility of this MSCs engineering approach for bone augmentation strategies.

NETosis is a neutrophil process involving sequential steps from pathogen detection to the release of DNA harboring antimicrobial proteins, including the central generation of NADPH oxidase dependent or independent ROS. Previously, we reported that NETosis triggered by Entamoeba histolytica trophozoites is independent of NADPH oxidase activity in neutrophils, but dependent on the viability of the parasites and no ROS source was identified. Here, we explored the possibility that E. histolytica trophozoites serve as the ROS source for NETosis. NET quantitation was performed using SYTOX® Green assay in the presence of selective inhibitors and scavengers. We observed that respiratory burst in neutrophils was inhibited by trophozoites in a dose dependent manner. Mitochondrial ROS was not also necessary, as the mitochondrial scavenger mitoTEMPO did not affect the process. Surprisingly, ROS-deficient amoebas obtained by pre-treatment with pyrocatechol were less likely to induce NETs. Additionally, we detected the presence of MPO on the cell surface of trophozoites after the interaction with neutrophils and found that luminol and isoluminol, intracellular and extracellular scavengers for MPO derived ROS reduced the amount of NET triggered by amoebas. These data suggest that ROS generated by trophozoites and processed by the extracellular MPO during the contact with neutrophils are required for E. histolytica induced NETosis.
