Abstract This report describes a new human B7-like gene designatedB7-H2. Cell surface expression of B7-H2 protein is detected in monocyte-derived immature dendritic cells. Soluble B7-H2 and immunoglobulin (Ig) fusion protein, B7-H2Ig, binds activated but not resting T cells and the binding is abrogated by inducible costimulator Ig (ICOSIg), but not CTLA4Ig. In addition, ICOSIg stains Chinese hamster ovary cells transfected with B7-H2 gene. By suboptimal cross-linking of CD3, costimulation of T-cell proliferation by B7-H2Ig is dose-dependent and correlates with secretion of interleukin (IL)-2, whereas optimal CD3 ligation preferentially stimulates IL-10 production. The results indicate that B7-H2 is a putative ligand for the ICOS T-cell molecule.

High Affinity

The platelet GPIIb-GPIIIa heterodimer (integrin αIIbβ3) binds fibrinogen with high affinity in response to activation by agonists, leading to platelet aggregation and formation of a hemostatic plug. The326GRV motif in GPIIb is highly conserved in the α-subunit of other integrins, suggesting that it might play an important functional role. Moreover, Arg327→His substitution in GPIIb has been associated with defective platelet surface expression of GPIIb-IIIa and thrombasthenic phenotype. This work aimed at elucidating whether the absence of Arg327or its substitution by His was responsible for the impaired surface expression of GPIIb-IIIa complexes. Transfection of cDNA encoding [Ala327]GPIIb, [Gln327]GPIIb, or [Phe327]GPIIb into Chinese hamster ovary cells inherently expressing GPIIIa permitted surface exposure of GPIIb-IIIa complexes, whereas [Glu327]GPIIb did not. These observations indicate that it is not the loss of [Arg327]GPIIb but the presence of His327or a negatively charged residue like Glu at position 327 of GPIIb that prevents the surface exposure of GPIIb-IIIa heterodimers. In contrast, changing Gln344, the homologue to Arg327in the α-subunit of the vitronectin receptor, to His did not prevent the surface expression of αv-GPIIIa complexes. Thus the conformational constraint imposed by His327seems to be rather specific for the heterodimerization and/or processing of GPIIb-IIIa complexes.

Von Willebrand

The multisubunit leucine-rich glycoprotein (GP) Ib–IX–V complex mediates von Willebrand factor-dependent platelet adhesion at sites of blood-vessel injury. Molecular defects of this receptor are reported to cause the Bernard–Soulier haemorrhagic disorder. To gain insight into the mechanisms controlling expression of normal and defective receptors, we performed pulse–chase metabolic studies and detailed analysis of intracellular processing in GPIb-IX-transfected Chinese-hamster ovary cells. In the native complex, after early subunit association, sugars N-linked to the three subunits are trimmed and sialylated in the Golgi compartment and GPIbα undergoes extensive O-glycosylation. Surface biotinylation during chase demonstrated that only fully processed complexes reach the cell surface. Tunicamycin treatment revealed that early N-glycosylation is not required for O-glycosylation of GPIbα and surface expression of the complex. Biosynthetic studies were then performed on a Bernard–Soulier variant based on previous description of abnormal GPIbα size and decreased surface expression. The mutant complex associated normally, but displayed defective processing of its N-linked sugars and abnormal O-glycosylation of GPIbα. Confocal immunofluorescence microscopy revealed that the mutant complexes could reach the cell surface but also accumulated intracellularly, while use of compartment specific markers showed strong co-localization in the endoplasmic reticulum (ER) and ER-to-Golgi intermediate compartments (‘ERGIC’) and only slight labelling of the cis-Golgi. Blockade before the Golgi was confirmed by brefeldin A treatment, which restored O-glycosylation and processing of N-linked sugars. The present study has shown that transfer from the ER to the Golgi represents an important step for controlling post-translational processing and surface expression of normal GPIb-IX-V complex.

Pump Activity

Inhibitors of mitochondrial oxidative metabolism have been proposed to interfere with Ca2+ influx mediated by store-operated channels (SOC), secondary to their effects on ATP production. We assessed SOC activity by 45Ca2+ influx and fluorimetric measurements of free Ca2+ or Mn2+ quench in thapsigargin-treated Chinese hamster ovary cells and Jurkat T-cells, and additionally by electrophysiological measurements of the Ca2+-release-activated Ca2+ current (Icrac) in Jurkat T-cells. Various mitochondrial antagonists were confirmed to inhibit SOC. However, the following evidence supported the proposal that oligomycin, in particular, exerts an inhibitory effect on SOC in addition to its known actions on mitochondria and Na+-pump activity: (i) the concentrations of oligomycin required to inhibit SOC-mediated Ca2+ influx or Icrac (half-inhibitory concentration ∼2 μM) were nearly 50-fold higher than the concentrations that blocked mitochondrial ATP production; (ii) the rank order of potency of oligomycins A, B and C for decreasing SOC-mediated Ca2+ influx or Icrac differed from that known for inhibition of mitochondrial function; (iii) oligomycin blocked Icrac under voltage clamp and with intracellular Na+ and K+ concentrations fixed by dialysis from the patch pipette, arguing that the effect was not secondary to membrane polarization or pump activity; and (iv) fixing the cytosolic ATP concentration by dialysis from the patch pipette attenuated rotenone- but not oligomycin-mediated inhibition of Icrac. Oligomycin also blocked volume-activated Cl- currents, a profile common to some other known blockers of SOC that are not known mitochondrial inhibitors. These findings raise the possibility that oligomycin interacts directly with SOC, and thus may extend the known pharmacological profile for this type of Ca2+-influx pathway.

Background The authors examined the interaction of ketamine with recombinant mu, kappa, and delta opioid receptors and recombinant orphan opioid receptors expressed in Chinese hamster ovary cells (CHO-mu, CHO-kappa, CHO-delta, and CHO(ORL1), respectively). Methods CHO-mu, CHO-kappa, and CHO-delta membranes were incubated with the opioid receptor radioligand [3H]diprenorphine at room temperature. Ketamine (racemic, R(-) and S(+)) was included at concentrations covering the clinical range. CHO(ORL1) membranes were incubated with [125I]Tyr(14)nociceptin and racemic ketamine at room temperature. The effects of racemic ketamine and selective opioid receptor agonists (mu: [D-Ala2, MePhe4, Gly(ol)5] enkephalin (DAMGO); kappa: spiradoline or delta: [D-pen2, D-pen5] enkephalin (DPDPE)) on forskolin-stimulated cyclic adenosine monophosphate formation also were examined. Data are mean +/- SEM. Results Racemic ketamine increased the radioligand equilibrium dissociation constant for [3H]diprenorphine from 85+/-5 to 273+/-11, 91+/-6 to 154+/-16, and 372+/-15 to 855+/-42 pM in CHO-mu, CHO-kappa, and CHO-delta, respectively. The concentration of radioligand bound at saturation was unaffected. In CHO-mu and CHO-kappa cells, racemic ketamine did not slow the rate of naloxone-induced [3H]diprenorphine dissociation. Ketamine and its isomers also displaced [3H]diprenorphine binding to mu, kappa, and delta receptors in a dose-dependent manner, with pKi values for racemic ketamine of 4.38+/-0.02, 4.55+/-0.04, and 3.57+/-0.02, respectively. S(+)-ketamine was two to three times more potent than R(-)-ketamine at mu and kappa receptors. Racemic ketamine displaced [125I]Tyr(14)nociceptin with an estimated affinity constant of 0.5 mM. Racemic ketamine inhibited the formation of cyclic adenosine monophosphate (naloxone insensitive) in a dose-dependent manner (concentration producing 50% inhibition approximately 2 mM) in all cell lines, including untransfected CHO cells. Ketamine (100 microM) reversed DAMGO (mu) and spiradoline (kappa) inhibition of formation of cyclic adenosine monophosphate. Conclusions Ketamine interacts stereoselectively with recombinant mu and kappa opioid receptors.

Zephgrabetaine (1), a new betaine type Amaryllidaceae alkaloid, along with seven known alkaloids, lycorine, galanthine, lycoramine, hamayne, haemanthamine, tortuosine, and ungeremine were isolated from the bulbs of Zephyranthes grandiflora and their structures elucidated by spectroscopic data analysis. The isolated alkaloids were tested for in vitro cytotoxic activities against two cell lines, C-6 (rat glioma cells) and CHO-K1 (Chinese hamster ovary cells). A dose dependent cytotoxic effect was exhibited by all the alkaloids on these two cancer cell lines with prominent activity of lycorine and haemanthamine.
