Purification and properties of lysophospholipase isoenzymes from pig gastric mucosa.

ABSTRACT: Two lysophospholipases, named gastric lysophospholipases I and II (enzymes I and II), were purified 3730- and 2680-fold from pig gastric mucosa. The preparations showed 22 and 23 kDa single protein bands on SDS/PAGE respectively. Both enzymes lacked transacylase activity and appeared to exist as monomers. Their activities were not affected by Ca2+, Mg2+ or EDTA. Enzyme I was most active at pH 8.5 and hydrolysed a variety of lysophospholipids including acidic lysophospholipids and the acyl analogue of platelet-activating factor, whereas enzyme II was most active at pH 8 and its activity was confined to lysophosphatidylcholine and lysophosphatidylethanolamine. When 1-palmitoylglycerophosphocholine was used as substrate, enzymes I and II showed half-maximal activities at 11 and 12 microM respectively. The enzymes exhibited no phospholipase B, lipase or general esterase activity. Enzyme II was significantly inhibited by lysophosphatidic acid whereas enzyme I was only moderately inhibited. Peptide mapping with V8 protease and papain revealed structural dissimilarity between the two enzymes. Antiserum raised against enzyme I did not recognize enzyme II, but did recognize the small-sized lysophospholipase purified from rat liver. Anti-(enzyme II) consistently did not cross-react with enzyme I or the liver enzyme. These antisera specifically recognized neither the 60 kDa lysophospholipase transacylase purified from liver nor any peritoneal macrophage protein. Thus gastric mucosa contains two different small-sized lysophospholipases: one is closely related to the small-sized lysophospholipase of liver, but the other appears to be a novel isoform.

Purification of phosphodiesterase II from rat and guinea-pig intestinal mucosa.

Project description:Phosphodiesterase II from extracts of intestinal mucosa of rat and guinea pig was purified by chromatography on DEAE-cellulose, CM-cellulose and agarose. The rat enzyme was purified 350-550-fold, with recoveries ranging up to 46%. The best purification of the guinea-pig enzyme was 15-fold, and the recovery was only 2.6%, the large loss occurring during chromatography on DEAE-cellulose and agarose. The poor results with the guinea-pig enzyme reflect the difficulty in obtaining a truly soluble material. Repeated sonication of the crude guinea-pig preparations yielded material that was initially soluble but tended to re-aggregate quickly. Purification of the rat phosphodiesterase II increased its thermostability, the temperature of half-inactivation being increased from 54degrees to 60degreesC. Both enzymes had a Km value of 4 X 10(-5) M with thymidine 3'-(2,4-dinitrophenyl) phosphate as substrate and showed similar pH optima for activity. Both enzymes were inhibited slightly in 0.1 M-MgC12 or 2M-urea and much more strongly in 2M-(NH4)2SO4 or 6M-NaC1. The guinea-pig enzyme was usually inhibited more than the rat enzyme. The Arrhenius plots of the two enzymes differed slightly in slope, but both were biphasic, showing breaks between 30degrees and 40degreesC. It was concluded that the two enzymes were markedly similar in behaviour and that the differences found were related to the different degrees of purification attained by the procedures described.

Inhibition of Pig Phosphoenolpyruvate Carboxykinase Isoenzymes by 3-Mercaptopicolinic Acid and Novel Inhibitors.

Project description:There exist two isoforms of cytosolic phosphoenolpyruvate carboxykinase (PEPCK-C) in pig populations that differ in a single amino acid (Met139Leu). The isoenzymes have different kinetic properties, affecting more strongly the Km and Vmax of nucleotides. They are associated to different phenotypes modifying traits of considerable economic interest. In this work we use inhibitors of phosphoenolpyruvate carboxykinase activity to search for further differences between these isoenzymes. On the one hand we have used the well-known inhibitor 3-mercaptopicolinic acid. Its inhibition patterns were the same for both isoenzymes: a three-fold decrease of the Ki values for GTP in 139Met and 139Leu (273 and 873 μM, respectively). On the other hand, through screening of a chemical library we have found two novel compounds with inhibitory effects of a similar magnitude to that of 3-mercaptopicolinic acid but with less solubility and specificity. One of these novel compounds, (N'1-({5-[1-methyl-5-(trifluoromethyl)-1H-pyrazol-3-yl]-2-thienyl}methylidene)-2,4-dichlorobenzene-1-carbohydrazide), exhibited significantly different inhibitory effects on either isoenzyme: it enhanced threefold the apparent Km value for GTP in 139Met, whereas in 139Leu, it reduced it from 99 to 69 μM. The finding of those significant differences in the binding of GTP reinforces the hypothesis that the Met139Leu substitution affects strongly the nucleotide binding site of PEPCK-C.

Mining distinct aldehyde dehydrogenase 1 (ALDH1) isoenzymes in gastric cancer.

Project description:Aldehyde dehydrogenase 1 (ALDH1) consists of a family of intracellular enzymes, highly expressed in stem cells populations of leukemia and some solid tumors. Up to now, 6 isoforms of ALDH1 have been reported. However, the expression patterns and the identity of ALDH1 isoenzymes contributing to ALDH1 activity, as well as the prognostic values of ALDH1 isoenzymes in cancers all remain to be elucidated. Here, we studied the expressions of ALDH1 transcripts in gastric cancer (GC) compared with the normal controls using the ONCOMINE database. Through the Kaplan-Meier plotter database, which contains updated gene expression data and survival information of 876 GC patients, we also investigated the prognostic values of ALDH1 isoenzymes in GC patients. It was found that when compared with normal tissues, ALDH1A1 mRNA expression was downregulated, whereas ALDH1A3 and ALDH1B1 were upregulated in GC patients. In survival analyses, high ALDH1A1 and ALDH1B1 expressions were associated with better overall survival (OS) in all GC patients. In addition, high transcription activity of ALDH1A1 predicted better OS in gastric intestinal type adenocarcinoma, but not in diffuse gastric adenocarcinoma. GC patients with high mRNA level of ALDH1B1 showed better OS in gastric intestinal type, and worse OS in diffuse type. Oppositely, high transcription activities of ALDH1A2, ALDH1A3 and ALDH1L1 predicted worsen overall survival in GC patients, suggesting that these isoenzymes might be responsible mainly for the ALDH1 activities in GC. These data provides ALDH1A2, ALDH1A3 and ALDH1L1 as excellent potential targets for individualized treatment of GC patients.

Mucus glycoproteins from pig gastric mucosa: identification ofdifferent mucin populations from the surface epithelium.

Project description:Pig gastric mucins were isolated from the surface epithelium of the cardiac region, corpus and antrum using density-gradient centrifugation after extraction in 6 M guanidinium chloride. In CsCl/0.5 M guanidinium chloride, mucins solubilized from the cardiac region appeared as a broad unimodal band at 1.52 g/ml whereas those from the corpus and antrum occurred as high- and low-density populations at 1.50 and 1.45 g/ml respectively. High-iron diamine reacted more strongly with the cardiac mucins and the high-density populations from corpus and antrum than with the two low-density ones. In keeping with this, approx. 60% of the oligosaccharides from the former mucins and 20% from the latter contained sulphate. All surface epithelial cells of the cardiac region stained with high-iron diamine, whereas in the corpus only the epithelium in the bottom of the pits reacted, suggesting that the high-density population from this region originates from these cells. Mucins from all regions were composed of subunits, each containing highly glycosylated domains. The mucins from the cardiac region were larger than those from the corpus and antrum, and reduced subunits as well as high-molecular-mass glycopeptides from the cardiac mucins were larger than the corresponding fragments from the other regions. Ion-exchange HPLC showed that reduced subunits from the cardiac mucins and the high-density populations from the corpus and antrum were more 'acidic' than reduced subunits from the two low-density ones. All mucins contained a 'neutral'fraction, in particular those from the antrum. Pig gastric mucus thus contains a number of distinctly different mucin populations varying in buoyant density, size, 'acidity', glycosylation, sulphation and tissue origin.

Gastric Mucosa-Associated Microbial Signatures of Early Gastric Cancer.

Project description:Alterations in the microbiome are associated with the development of gastric cancer. Our study aimed to identify dysbiotic features in early gastric cancer (EC). The gastric microbiome was assessed in EC (n = 30), advanced gastric cancer (AC) (n = 30), and chronic gastritis (CG) (n = 60). The results demonstrated significant differences in the microbial profile and composition between EC and AC, suggesting alterations associated with gastric cancer progression. Linear discriminant analysis (LDA) effect size (LEfSe) analyses identified 32 bacterial genera that were associated with EC. Functional analyses of the gastric microbiome showed that the production of urease and synthesis of bacterial flagella were weakened in EC, while the glycolysis of fructose and hydrolysis of glycosides were enhanced. A classifier based on a random forest (RF) machine learning algorithm identified a microbial signature that distinguished EC from CG or AC with high accuracy. The correct identification of the signature was further validated in independent cohorts. This signature enriched of bacteria with varied abundance, high degree of bacterial interactions and carcinogenic potentials. Constrained principal coordinate analyses revealed that the presence of Helicobacter pylori and the cagA and vacA virulence genotypes influenced the structure of the gastric microbiome. To determine the impacts of host genetic variations on the gastric microbiome, six previously reported single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) were examined. The minor allele of MUC1 rs4072037 was associated with an increased abundance of Ochrobactrum. The gastric microbiome altered in EC, which might be attributed in part to host genetic variations, H. pylori infection, bacterial virulence and environmental adaptations. The identified microbial signature could serve as biomarkers for clinical assessment of gastric cancer risk in high-risk patients.

Purification and kinetic properties of pyruvate kinase isoenzymes of Salmonella typhimurium.

Project description:Two forms of pyruvate kinase (ATP: pyruvate 2-O-phosphotransferase, EC 2.7.1.40) present in Salmonella typhimurium were purified to homogeneity from the same cultures by (NH4)2SO4 fractionation and gel filtration, anion-exchange and affinity chromatography. Mr values, subunit structure, amino acid composition and activity and stability conditions were determined for the two forms. Kinetic and regulatory properties of the two purified isoenzymes were studied.

Isolation and properties of multiple forms of histidine decarboxylase from rat gastric mucosa.

Project description:The heterogeneity of histidine decarboxylase from rat gastric mucosa was studied. The partially purified enzyme was fractionated by preparative isoelectric focusing on a flat-gel bed by using narrow pH-range carrier ampholytes and a short focusing time. The activity was resolved, with about 95% recovery, into three forms, designated I, II and III, with pI values of 5.90, 5.60 and 5.35 respectively. These three forms exhibited similar molecular weights, indicating that the forms were not the result of different degrees of polymerization. By preparative refocusing each form refocused as a single peak of enzyme activity with reproducible pI, but a high loss of activity occurred with repeated focusing. Forms I, II and III were purified by the combined use of preparative isoelectric focusing and gel chromatography and other fractionation methods. The active forms could be distinguished by electrophoresis and isoelectric focusing on polyacrylamide gels and displayed protein heterogeneity. These forms were found in the crude extract and in the partially purified preparations in the presence or absence of proteinase inhibitors. Form II had the highest specific activity, but all three forms had the same optimum pH and Km value for histidine.
