Lipid composition of lymphocyte plasma membrane from pig mesenteric lymph node.

ABSTRACT: 1. The lipid fraction of the plasma membrane of pig mesenteric lymph-node lymphocytes contained primarily (94%) neutral lipids and phospholipids in about equal weights. The remianing lipid comprised glycosphingolipids (1.8%), gangliosides (o.27%)and probably ceramides (1.3%). The major phospholipid was phosphatidylcholine (46% of the total), and mono- and tri-hexosylceramides accounted for 72% of the glycosphingolipids. Haematoside was distributed between the glycosphingolipid and ganglioside fractions. The major ganglioside was monosialoganglioside. About 90% of the sialic acid was N-glycollylated. 2. A comparision of the lipid composition of the plasma-membrane fraction with that of the initial lymph-node homogenate showed that the purified membrane contained increased proportions of phospholipids, especially sphingomyelin, glycosphingolipids and gangliosides. 3. Fatty acid analyses showed that the membrane phosphatidylcholine was rich in palmitic acid, that the sphingomeyelin and phosphatidylethanolamine were high in myristic acid and that the glycosphingolipids were rich in oleic acid.

Carbohydrate composition of lymphocyte plasma membrane from pig mesenteric lymph node.

Project description:Pig lymphocyte plasma membrane isolated from mesenteric lymph node contained 69 mug of carbohydrate/mg dry wt., which was made up of neutral sugar, amino sugar and sialic acid in the molar proportions 5:1.7:1. The neutral sugar comprised fucose, ribose, mannose, glucose, galactose and inositol (molar proportions 2:9:11:15:26:1), and the amino sugar glucosamine and galactosamine (molar ratio 2:1). The ribose was most probably derived from RNA. All of the fucose and mannose and almost all of the glucosamine were associated with the membrane protein whereas the membrane lipid contained all of the inositol. The remaining sugars were distributed in various ratios between the protein and lipid fractions.

Plasma-membrane-associated immunoglobulins and other polypeptides of pig mesenteric node lymphocytes.

Project description:Plasma membranes from pig mesenteric lymph-node lymphocytes contain a large number of polypeptide chains ranging in molecular weight from 20,000 to greater than 470,000, with a major component of 46,000. There are approx. 12-15 glycoproteins. The membranes contain immunoglobulin G, which comprises 0.6% of the total protein. Immunoglobulin M is also detected, but has not been accurately quantified for technical reasons. Possible origins of the membrane-associated immunoglobulin are briefly discussed. It is concluded that the immunoglobulin is probably associated with the plasma membrane in the intact cell.

Mesenteric Lymph Node Recurrence of a Primary Colorectal Leiomyosarcoma.

Project description:Primary colorectal leiomyosarcoma is an excessively rare entity. It is associated with an aggressive behavior and typically favor hematogenous spread. The current standard of care is surgical resection. A 49-year-old patient presented with a 2-month history of fever. A PET-scan revealed a hypermetabolic mass in the transverse colon, and colonoscopy confirmed a tumor. A right hemicolectomy was performed. Histopathological diagnosis was of a leiomyosarcoma. Fourteen months after the surgery, a follow-up abdominal scan revealed a 2?cm mesenteric lymph node that was hypermetabolic on PET-scan. The mesenteric lymph node was resected and histopathology confirmed a leiomyosarcoma metastasis. This case opens the controversy on the management of rare lymph node recurrences in colorectal leiomyosarcoma.

Albumin associated with purified pig lymphocyte plasma membrane.

Project description:Plasma-membrane preparations purified from pig lymphocytes contained a major polypeptide component of mol.wt. about 68 000. This component was identified as pig albumin by the following comparisons with authentic pig serum albumin: (a) co-migration when analysed by sodium dodecyl sulphate/polyacrylamide-gel electrophoresis under reducing and non-reducing conditions; (b) identical isoelectric points; (c) similar "fingerprints" of arginine-containing tryptic peptides; (d) reactivity with anti-(pig albumin) serum. The albumin was bound tightly to the plasma membrane. Biosynthetic labelling of pig lymphocytes under a variety of conditions failed to provide evidence that albumin was synthesized by lymphocytes, suggesting that the plasma-membrane-associated albumin was of extraneous origin. Radiolabelled pig serum albumin, however, failed to bind to the plasma-membrane fraction when added before cell disruption. Although lymphocyte plasma membrane preparations from other species possessed a polypeptide of about 68 000 mol.wt., this was judged not to be albumin on the basis of electrophoretic mobility under non-reducing conditions; also, no polypeptide was precipitated by anti-albumin sera. It is concluded that pig lymphocyte plasma-membrane preparations possess albumin which, although firmly attached, was probably of extraneous origin. This association appeared not to be common to lymphocytes from other species.

Preparation of resealed pig lymphocyte plasma-membrane vesicles.

Project description:Pig lymphocyte plasma-membrane vesicles that are impermeable to large molecules were prepared by means of centrifugation on a continuous dextran gradient. They were isolated in a yield of 60--80% of the total plasma membrane recovered, and were characterized as being impermeable to macromolecules by their exclusion of inulin (mol.wt. 5200) and Dextran T10 (mol.wt. 10 000).

Analysis of lipid-composition changes in plasma membrane microdomains.

Project description:Sphingolipids accumulate in plasma membrane microdomain sites, such as caveolae or lipid rafts. Such microdomains are considered to be important nexuses for signal transduction, although changes in the microdomain lipid components brought about by signaling are poorly understood. Here, we applied a cationic colloidal silica bead method to analyze plasma membrane lipids from monolayer cells cultured in a 10 cm dish. The detergent-resistant fraction from the silica bead-coated membrane was analyzed by LC-MS/MS to evaluate the microdomain lipids. This method revealed that glycosphingolipids composed the microdomains as a substitute for sphingomyelin (SM) in mouse embryonic fibroblasts (tMEFs) from an SM synthase 1/2 double KO (DKO) mouse. The rate of formation of the detergent-resistant region was unchanged compared with that of WT-tMEFs. C2-ceramide (Cer) stimulation caused greater elevations in diacylglycerol and phosphatidic acid levels than in Cer levels within the microdomains of WT-tMEFs. We also found that lipid changes in the microdomains of SM-deficient DKO-tMEFs caused by serum stimulation occurred in the same manner as that of WT-tMEFs. This practical method for analyzing membrane lipids will facilitate future comprehensive analyses of membrane microdomain-associated responses.

Expression data from pig mesenteric lymph nodes

Project description:The mesenteric lymph nodes represent the immune response to eggs in schistosome infections,and the analysis of gene expression profiles of the mesenteric lymph nodes from the Vac-Cha (vaccinated with UV attenuated cercariae and challenged with normal cercariae)and Inf-Con (infected with normal cercariae) groups. We used microarrays to detail the global programme of gene expression and identified distinct classes of up-regulated and down-regulated genes. The mesenteric lymph nodes surrounding the cecum from the Vac-Cha and Inf-Con groups were collected at week 8 post challenge and used to analyze the gene profile with Affymetrix microarrays. We sought to obtain the different genes expression profiles between the Vac-Cha group and Inf-Con group.The Vac-Cha group is three pigs vaccinated with UV attenuated Schistosoma japonicum cercariae and challenged with normal Schistosoma japonicum cercariae, and the Inf-Con group is three pigs infected with normal cercariae. Samples pooled per group. A list of differentially-regulated genes can be found in the supplementary file below.

Halted Lymphocyte Egress via Efferent Lymph Contributes to Lymph Node Hypertrophy During Hypercholesterolemia.

Project description:Dyslipidemia is a central component of atherosclerosis and metabolic syndrome linked to chronic inflammation and immune dysfunction. Previously, we showed that hypercholesterolemic apolipoprotein E knock out (apoE-/-) mice exhibit systemic effects including skin inflammation and hypertrophic lymph nodes (LNs). However, the mechanisms accounting for LN hypertrophy in these mice remain unknown. Here, we show that hypercholesterolemia led to the accumulation of lymphocytes in LNs. We excluded that the increased number of lymphocytes in expanded LNs resulted from increased lymphocyte proliferation or entry into those LNs. Instead, we demonstrated that the egress of lymphocytes from the enlarged LN of apoE-/- mice was markedly decreased. Impairment in efferent lymphatic emigration of lymphocytes from LNs resulted from an aberrant expansion of cortical and medullary sinuses that became hyperplastic. Moreover, CCL21 was more abundant on these enlarged sinuses whereas lymph levels of sphingosine 1 phosphate (S1P) were decreased in apoE-/- mice. Normal LN size, lymphatic density and S1P levels were restored by reversing hypercholesterolemia. Thus, systemic changes in cholesterol can sequester lymphocytes in tissue draining LNs through the extensive remodeling of lymphatic sinuses and alteration of the balance between retention/egress signals leading to LN hypertrophy which subsequently may contribute to poor immunity. This study further illustrates the role of lymphatic vessels in immunity through the regulation of immune cell trafficking.
