Ectonucleoside Triphosphate Diphosphohydrolase-3 Antibody Targets Adult Human Pancreatic ? Cells for In Vitro and In Vivo Analysis.

ABSTRACT: Identification of cell-surface markers specific to human pancreatic ? cells would allow in vivo analysis and imaging. Here we introduce a biomarker, ectonucleoside triphosphate diphosphohydrolase-3 (NTPDase3), that is expressed on the cell surface of essentially all adult human ? cells, including those from individuals with type 1 or type 2 diabetes. NTPDase3 is expressed dynamically during postnatal human pancreas development, appearing first in acinar cells at birth, but several months later its expression declines in acinar cells while concurrently emerging in islet ? cells. Given its specificity and membrane localization, we utilized an NTPDase3 antibody for purification of live human ? cells as confirmed by transcriptional profiling, and, in addition, for in vivo imaging of transplanted human ? cells. Thus, NTPDase3 is a cell-surface biomarker of adult human ? cells, and the antibody directed to this protein should be a useful new reagent for ? cell sorting, in vivo imaging, and targeting.

Project description:CD39 is a transmembrane enzyme that inhibits platelet reactivity and inflammation by phosphohydrolyzing ATP and ADP to AMP. Cyclic AMP (cAMP), an essential second messenger, is particularly important in regulating genes controlling vascular homeostasis. These experiments test the hypothesis that cAMP might positively regulate the expression of CD39 and thereby modulate important vascular homeostatic properties. Cd39 mRNA was induced by 13.8- fold in RAW cells treated with a membrane-permeant cAMP analogue (8-bromo-cyclic AMP; 8-Br-cAMP), stimulation of adenylate cyclase, or prostanoids known to drive cAMP response. Fluorescence-activated cell sorting, immunofluorescence, and TLC assays demonstrated that both CD39 protein expression and enzymatic activity were increased in cells treated with 8-Br-cAMP but not in cells transfected with short hairpin RNA against CD39. This analogue drove a significant increase in transcriptional activity at the Cd39 promoter although not when the promoter's cAMP-response element sites were mutated. Pretreatment with cAMP-dependent protein kinase (PKA), phosphoinositide 3-kinase (PI3K), or ERK inhibitors nearly obliterated the cAMP-driven increase in Cd39 mRNA, protein expression, and promoter activity. 8-Br-cAMP greatly increased the phosphorylation of CREB1 (Ser(133)) and ATF2 (Thr(71)) in a PKA-, PI3K-, and ERK-dependent fashion. Chromatin immunoprecipitation assays demonstrated that binding of phosphorylated CREB1 and ATF2 to cAMP-response element-like sites was significantly increased with 8-Br-cAMP treatment and that binding was reduced with PKA, PI3K, and ERK inhibition, whereas transfection of Creb1 and Atf2 overexpression constructs enhanced cAMP-driven Cd39 mRNA expression. Transfection of RAW cells with mutated Creb1 (S133A) reduced cAMP-driven Cd39 mRNA expression. Furthermore, the cAMP-mediated induction of Cd39 mRNA, protein, and phosphohydrolytic activity was replicated in primary peritoneal macrophages. These data identify cAMP as a crucial regulator of macrophage CD39 expression and demonstrate that cAMP acts through the PKA/CREB, PKA/PI3K/ATF2, and PKA/ERK/ATF2 pathways to control a key vascular homeostatic mediator.
