Identification of rab2 as a tubulovesicle-membrane-associated protein in rabbit gastric parietal cells.

ABSTRACT: Rab proteins, which are ras-like low-molecular-mass GTP-binding proteins, are postulated to act as specific regulators of membrane trafficking in exocytosis and endocytosis. Previously, we reported a 23 kDa tubulovesicle-associated GTP-binding protein in rabbit gastric parietal cells [Basson, Goldenring, Tang, Lewis, Padfield, Jamieson & Modlin (1991) Biochem. J. 279, 43-48]. The major component of the 23 kDa protein is now identified as rab2. Rab2 was co-localized in tubulovesicle membranes from parietal cells. Consistent with GTP-binding activity (as documented before), upon maximal stimulation of parietal cells, rab2 immunoreactivity was redistributed from a 50,000 g to a 4000 g subcellular membrane fraction. The tubulovesicle-associated rab2 behaved as an integral membrane protein, since both 0.5 M-NaCl and 0.1 M-carbonate extraction failed to remove the protein from the tubulovesicle membrane. Utilizing a PCR the rab2 cDNA sequence from rabbit parietal cells was obtained, and it showed only one amino acid difference compared with the human sequence. The results of the present study provide strong evidence that parietal cells possess a rab2 protein which is tightly associated with tubulovesicle membranes.

Identification and characterization of a novel A-kinase-anchoring protein (AKAP120) from rabbit gastric parietal cells.

Project description:The type-II cAMP-dependent protein kinase (A-Kinase) partitions primarily into the particulate fraction in gastric parietal cells. Localization of this kinase to particular subcellular domains is mediated through the binding of the regulatory subunit (RII) dimer to A-Kinase-anchoring proteins (AKAPs). Using a [32P]RII overlay assay, we have screened a rabbit gastric parietal cell cDNA library and have isolated a single RII-binding protein clone. Sequence analysis revealed an open reading frame coding for 1022 amino acids (AKAP120). Recombinant fragments of the full-length clone were prepared and the RII-binding region mapped to an area between amino acids 489 and 549. This area contained a putative alpha-helical RII-binding region between amino acids 503 and 516. Incubation of [32P]RII with a synthetic peptide of AKAP120-(489-522) completely inhibited the binding of [32P]RII to the recombinant AKAP120 fragments that demonstrated RII binding. In vitro RII-binding affinity studies indicated a high-affinity interaction between AKAP120 and RII with a Kapp between 50 and 120 nM for the three recombinant fragments that bound [32P]RII. RNase-protection analysis revealed that AKAP120 is a widely distributed protein, with the highest levels of mRNA observed in gastric fundus. The presence of this novel high-affinity AKAP in gastric parietal cells suggests that it may regulate RII subcellular sequestration in this cell type.

Helicobacter pylori VacA disrupts apical membrane-cytoskeletal interactions in gastric parietal cells.

Project description:Helicobacter pylori persistently colonize the human stomach and have been linked to atrophic gastritis and gastric carcinoma. Although it is well known that H. pylori infection can result in hypochlorhydria, the molecular mechanisms underlying this phenomenon remain poorly understood. Here we show that VacA permeabilizes the apical membrane of gastric parietal cells and induces hypochlorhydria. The functional consequences of VacA infection on parietal cell physiology were studied using freshly isolated rabbit gastric glands and cultured parietal cells. Secretory activity of parietal cells was judged by an aminopyrine uptake assay and confocal microscopic examination. VacA permeabilization induces an influx of extracellular calcium, followed by activation of calpain and subsequent proteolysis of ezrin at Met(469)-Thr(470), which results in the liberation of ezrin from the apical membrane of the parietal cells. VacA treatment inhibits acid secretion by preventing the recruitment of H,K-ATPase-containing tubulovesicles to the apical membrane of gastric parietal cells. Electron microscopic examination revealed that VacA treatment disrupts the radial arrangement of actin filaments in apical microvilli due to the loss of ezrin integrity in parietal cells. Significantly, expression of calpain-resistant ezrin restored the functional activity of parietal cells in the presence of VacA. Proteolysis of ezrin in VacA-infected parietal cells is a novel mechanism underlying H. pylori-induced inhibition of acid secretion. Our results indicate that VacA disrupts the apical membrane-cytoskeletal interactions in gastric parietal cells and thereby causes hypochlorhydria.

Acid secretion-associated translocation of KCNJ15 in gastric parietal cells.

Project description:Potassium ions are required for gastric acid secretion. Several potassium channels have been implicated in providing K(+) at the apical membrane of parietal cells. In examining the mRNA expression levels between gastric mucosa and liver tissue, KCNJ15 stood out as the most highly specific K(+) channel in the gastric mucosa. Western blot analysis confirmed that KCNJ15 is abundant in the stomach. Immunofluorescence staining of isolated gastric glands indicated that KCNJ15 was expressed in parietal cells and chief cells, but not in mucous neck cells. In resting parietal cells, KCNJ15 was mainly found in puncta throughout the cytoplasm but was distinct from H(+)-K(+)-ATPase. Upon stimulation, KCNJ15 and H(+)-K(+)-ATPase become colocalized on the apical membranes, as suggested by immunofluorescence staining. Western blot analysis of the resting and the stimulated membrane fractions confirmed this observation. From nonsecreting preparations, KCNJ15-containing vesicles sedimented after a 4-h centrifugation at 100,000 g, but not after a 30-min spin, which did sediment most of the H(+)-K(+)-ATPase-containing tubulovesicles. Most of the KCNJ15 containing small vesicle population was depleted upon stimulation of parietal cells, as indicated by the fact that the KCNJ15 signal was shifted to a large membrane fraction that sedimented at 4,000 g. Our results demonstrate that, in nonsecreting parietal cells, KCNJ15 is stored in vesicles distinct from the H(+)-K(+)-ATPase-enriched tubulovesicles. Furthermore, upon stimulation, KCNJ15 and H(+)-K(+)-ATPase both translocate to the apical membrane for active acid secretion. Thus KCNJ15 can be added to the family of apical K(+) channels in gastric parietal cells.

TRIM50 protein regulates vesicular trafficking for acid secretion in gastric parietal cells.

Project description:Of the TRIM/RBCC family proteins taking part in a variety of cellular processes, TRIM50 is a stomach-specific member with no defined biological function. Our biochemical data demonstrated that TRIM50 is specifically expressed in gastric parietal cells and is predominantly localized in the tubulovesicular and canalicular membranes. In cultured cells ectopically expressing GFP-TRIM50, confocal microscopic imaging revealed dynamic movement of TRIM50-associated vesicles in a phosphoinositide 3-kinase-dependent manner. A protein overlay assay detected preferential binding of the PRY-SPRY domain from the TRIM50 C-terminal region to phosphatidylinositol species, suggesting that TRIM50 is involved in vesicular dynamics by sensing the phosphorylated state of phosphoinositol lipids. Trim50 knock-out mice retained normal histology in the gastric mucosa but exhibited impaired secretion of gastric acid. In response to histamine, Trim50 knock-out parietal cells generated deranged canaliculi, swollen microvilli lacking actin filaments, and excess multilamellar membrane complexes. Therefore, TRIM50 seems to play an essential role in tubulovesicular dynamics, promoting the formation of sophisticated canaliculi and microvilli during acid secretion in parietal cells.

Caffeine induces gastric acid secretion via bitter taste signaling in gastric parietal cells.

Project description:Caffeine, generally known as a stimulant of gastric acid secretion (GAS), is a bitter-tasting compound that activates several taste type 2 bitter receptors (TAS2Rs). TAS2Rs are expressed in the mouth and in several extraoral sites, e.g., in the gastrointestinal tract, in which their functional role still needs to be clarified. We hypothesized that caffeine evokes effects on GAS by activation of oral and gastric TAS2Rs and demonstrate that caffeine, when administered encapsulated, stimulates GAS, whereas oral administration of a caffeine solution delays GAS in healthy human subjects. Correlation analysis of data obtained from ingestion of the caffeine solution revealed an association between the magnitude of the GAS response and the perceived bitterness, suggesting a functional role of oral TAS2Rs in GAS. Expression of TAS2Rs, including cognate TAS2Rs for caffeine, was shown in human gastric epithelial cells of the corpus/fundus and in HGT-1 cells, a model for the study of GAS. In HGT-1 cells, various bitter compounds as well as caffeine stimulated proton secretion, whereby the caffeine-evoked effect was (i) shown to depend on one of its cognate receptor, TAS2R43, and adenylyl cyclase; and (ii) reduced by homoeriodictyol (HED), a known inhibitor of caffeine's bitter taste. This inhibitory effect of HED on caffeine-induced GAS was verified in healthy human subjects. These findings (i) demonstrate that bitter taste receptors in the stomach and the oral cavity are involved in the regulation of GAS and (ii) suggest that bitter tastants and bitter-masking compounds could be potentially useful therapeutics to regulate gastric pH.

Sonic hedgehog is associated with H+-K+-ATPase-containing membranes in gastric parietal cells and secreted with histamine stimulation.

Project description:Sonic hedgehog (Shh) is found within gastric parietal cells and processed from a 45-kDa to a 19-kDa bioactive protein by an acid- and protease-dependent mechanism. To investigate whether Shh is associated with the parietal cell membrane compartment that becomes exposed to both acid and proteolytic enzymes during acid secretion, the cellular location of Shh within resting and stimulated gastric parietal cells was examined. Immunofluorescence microscopy of rabbit stomach sections showed that Shh colocalized predominantly with parietal and pit, not chief/zymogen or neck, cell markers. In resting and histamine-stimulated rabbit gastric glands Shh was expressed only in parietal cells close to H+-K+-ATPase-containing tubulovesicular and secretory membranes with some colocalizing with gamma-actin at the basolateral membrane. Gastric gland microsomal membranes were prepared by differential and sucrose gradient centrifugation and immunoisolation with an anti-H+-K+-ATPase-alpha subunit antibody. The 45- and 19-kDa Shh proteins were detected by immunoblot in immunopurified H+-K+-ATPase-containing membranes from resting and stimulated gastric glands, respectively. Incubating glands with a high KCl concentration removed Shh from the membranes. Histamine stimulated 19-kDa Shh secretion from gastric glands into the medium. In human gastric cancer 23132/87 cells cultured on permeable membranes, histamine increased 19-kDa Shh secretion into both apical and basolateral media. These findings show that Shh is a peripheral protein associated with resting and stimulated H+-K+-ATPase-expressing membranes. In addition, Shh appears to be expressed at or close to the basolateral membrane of parietal cells.

Identification of rabbit annulus fibrosus-derived stem cells.

Project description:Annulus fibrosus (AF) injuries can lead to substantial deterioration of intervertebral disc (IVD) which characterizes degenerative disc disease (DDD). However, treatments for AF repair/regeneration remain challenging due to the intrinsic heterogeneity of AF tissue at cellular, biochemical, and biomechanical levels. In this study, we isolated and characterized a sub-population of cells from rabbit AF tissue which formed colonies in vitro and could self-renew. These cells showed gene expression of typical surface antigen molecules characterizing mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs), including CD29, CD44, and CD166. Meanwhile, they did not express negative markers of MSCs such as CD4, CD8, and CD14. They also expressed Oct-4, nucleostemin, and SSEA-4 proteins. Upon induced differentiation they showed typical osteogenesis, chondrogenesis, and adipogenesis potential. Together, these AF-derived colony-forming cells possessed clonogenicity, self-renewal, and multi-potential differentiation capability, the three criteria characterizing MSCs. Such AF-derived stem cells may potentially be an ideal candidate for DDD treatments using cell therapies or tissue engineering approaches.

Identification of Functional Interactome of Gastric Cancer Cells with <i>Helicobacter pylori</i> Outer Membrane Protein HpaA by HPLC-MS/MS.

Project description:HpaA as an outer membrane protein of Helicobacter pylori (H. pylori) plays a significant role in the adhesion to the human stomach, but the functional relation between HpaA and gastric epithelial cells is still not clear. To screen the interaction between HpaA and cellular proteins in gastric epithelial cells, the HpaA protein from H. pylori 26695 fused with a tag (6× His) was expressed and purified successfully, the secondary structure was estimated by the Circular Dichroism (CD) spectrum, and the purified recombinant protein was used to perform the pull-down assays with gastric cancer cell lines (AGS and SGC-7901) lysates, respectively. The pull-down proteins were identified by high-performance liquid chromatography tandem mass spectrometry system (HPLC-MS/MS). A total of 9 and 13 proteins related were analyzed from AGS and SGC-7901 cell lysates, respectively. ANXA2 was considered as putative HpaA functional partner discovered from lysates of both cell lines with high score and coverage. It is hypothesized that HpaA may be involved in the biological process of regulation of transcription and nucleic acid metabolism during the adhesion of H. pylori to human gastric epithelial cells, and HpaA-binding proteins also be used as targets for the development of antiadhesion drugs against H. pylori.
