Cloning the interleukin 1 receptor from human T cells.

ABSTRACT: cDNA clones of the interleukin 1 (IL-1) receptor expressed in a human T-cell clone have been isolated by using a murine IL-1 receptor cDNA as a probe. The human and mouse receptors show a high degree of sequence conservation. Both are integral membrane proteins possessing a single membrane-spanning segment. Similar to the mouse receptor, the human IL-1 receptor contains a large cytoplasmic region and an extracellular, IL-1 binding portion composed of three immunoglobulin-like domains. When transfected into COS cells, the human IL-1 receptor cDNA clone leads to expression of two different affinity classes of receptors, with Ka values indistinguishable from those determined for IL-1 receptors in the original T-cell clone. An IL-1 receptor expressed in human dermal fibroblasts has also been cloned and sequenced and found to be identical to the IL-1 receptor expressed in T cells.

Cloning and Expression of Recombinant Human Interleukin-7 in Chinese Hamster Ovary (CHO) Cells.

Project description:BACKGROUND:The critical role of interleukin-7 (IL-7) in homeostatic proliferation and T cell survival has made it a promising cytokine for the treatment of various clinical conditions, especially those associated with lymphopenia. METHODS:In the present study we expressed recombinant human interleukin-7 (rhIL-7) in Chinese hamster ovary (CHO)-K1 cells. CHO-K1 cells were stably transfected with both circular and linear forms of the pBud-hIL-7 recombinant by electroporation. Expression of rhIL-7 in CHO-K1 cells was confirmed by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) and dot and western blots. RESULTS:On western blots of transformed cells, a single 25 kDa band was observed, consistent with the expected molecular weight of glycosylated hIL-7. No significant expression difference was observed between cells transfected with circular or linear plasmids. CONCLUSION:We established a stable CHO-K1 cell line expressing rhIL-7, which we consider to be a promising system for the production of rhIL-7 as a biopharmaceutical.

Molecular cloning, overexpression and characterization of human interleukin 1alpha.

Project description:Interleukin-1 alpha (IL-1alpha) regulates a wide range of important cellular processes. In this study for the first time, we report the cloning, expression, biophysical, and biological characterization of the human interleukin-1alpha. Human IL-1alpha has been expressed in Escherichia coli in high yields ( approximately 4mg per liter of the bacterial culture). The protein was purified to homogeneity ( approximately 98% purity) using affinity chromatography and size exclusion chromatography. Results of the steady-state fluorescence and 2D NMR experiments show that the recombinant IL-1alpha is in a folded conformation. Far-UV circular dichroism (CD) data suggest that IL-1alpha is an all beta-sheet protein with a beta-barrel architecture. Isothermal titration calorimetry (ITC) experiments show that the recombinant IL-1alpha binds strongly (K(d) approximately 5.6 x 10(-7) M) to S100A13, a calcium binding protein that chaperones the in vivo release of IL-1alpha into the extracellular compartment. Recombinant IL-1alpha was observed to exhibit strong cytostatic effect on human umbilical vascular endothelial cells. The findings of the present study not only pave way for an in-depth structural investigation of the molecular mechanism(s) underlying the non-classical release of IL-1alpha but also provide avenues for the rational design of potent inhibitors against IL-1alpha mediated pathogenesis.

Molecular cloning and expression of the human interleukin 5 receptor.

Project description:Human interleukin 5 (IL-5) plays an important role in proliferation and differentiation of human eosinophils. We report the isolation of cDNA clones from cDNA libraries of human eosinophils by using murine IL-5 receptor alpha chain cDNA as a probe. Analysis of the predicted amino acid sequence indicated that the human IL-5 receptor has approximately 70% amino acid sequence homology with the murine IL-5 receptor and retains features common to the cytokine receptor superfamily. One cDNA clone encodes a glycoprotein of 420 amino acids (Mr 47,670) with an NH2-terminal hydrophobic region (20 amino acids), a glycosylated extracellular domain (324 amino acids), a transmembrane domain (21 amino acids), and a cytoplasmic domain (55 amino acids). Another cDNA encodes only the extracellular domain of this receptor molecule. Other cDNA clones encode molecules having diversified cytoplasmic domains. COS7 cells transfected with the cDNA expressed a approximately 60-kD protein and bound IL-5 with a single class of affinity (Kd = 250-590 pM). The Kd values were similar to that observed in normal human eosinophils. In contrast to the murine 60-kD alpha chain, which binds IL-5 with low affinity (Kd = approximately 10 nM), the human alpha chain homologue can bind IL-5 with much higher affinity by itself. RNA blot analysis of human cells demonstrated two transcripts (approximately 5.3 and 1.4 kb). Both of them were expressed in normal human eosinophils and in erythroleukemic cell line TF-1, which responds to IL-5. The human IL-5 receptor characterized in this paper is essential for signal transduction, because expression of this molecule in murine IL-3-dependent cell line FDC-P1 allowed these cells to proliferate in response to IL-5.

Expression cloning of the murine and human interleukin 9 receptor cDNAs.

Project description:Interleukin 9 (IL-9) is a T-cell-derived lymphokine that induces the proliferation of various lymphoid and hemopoietic cells. A cDNA clone encoding the murine IL-9 receptor was isolated by expression cloning in COS cells and screening with 125I-labeled IL-9. Transient expression of this cDNA produced high-affinity binding sites for IL-9. The predicted 52-kDa protein contains a putative signal peptide and a typical transmembrane domain. A cDNA for the human homologue was isolated by cross-hybridization. Transfection of this cDNA in a murine T-cell clone conferred responsiveness to human IL-9. Sequence analysis revealed that the IL-9 receptor belongs to the recently described hematopoietin receptor super-family and is expressed in membrane-bound and soluble forms.

Interleukin 21 Receptor Affects Adipogenesis of Human Adipose-Derived Stem/Stromal Cells.

Project description:Dysfunctions in adipose tissue cells are responsible for several obesity-related metabolic diseases. Understanding the process of adipocyte formation is thus fundamental for understanding these diseases. The adipocyte differentiation of adipose-derived stem/stromal cells (ADSCs) showed a reduction in the mRNA level of the interleukin 21 receptor (IL21R) during this process. Although the receptor has been associated with metabolic diseases, few studies have examined its function in stem cells. In this study, we used confocal immunofluorescence assays to determine that IL21R colocalizes with mitochondrial protein ATP5B, ALDH4A1, and the nucleus of human ADSCs. We demonstrated that silencing and overexpression of IL21R did not affect the cell proliferation and mitochondrial activity of ADSCs. However, IL21R silencing did reduce ADSC adipogenic capacity. Further studies are needed to understand the mechanism involved between IL21R and the adipogenic differentiation process.

Structural and functional studies on the human hepatic interleukin-6 receptor. Molecular cloning and overexpression in HepG2 cells.

Project description:cDNAs coding for the human hepatic interleukin-6 receptor (IL-6-R) have been isolated from a library made from poly(A) RNA of dexamethasone-treated human hepatoma cells (HepG2). We found the hepatic IL-6-R to be identical to the one expressed by leucocytes. A polyclonal antiserum was raised in rabbits against the IL-6-R protein expressed in Escherichia coli. Although the entire IL-6-R protein was used for immunization, only antibodies to the cytoplasmic domain of the IL-6-R were obtained. It is demonstrated by affinity cross-linking and subsequent immunoprecipitation with antibodies against the ligand as well as against the receptor that the cloned cDNA codes for the functional IL-6-R on HepG2 cells. When the hepatic IL-6-R cDNA was overexpressed in HepG2 cells, these cells became more sensitive to low concentrations of IL-6 with respect to the induction of gamma-fibrinogen mRNA.

Distinct spatial relationship of the interleukin-9 receptor with interleukin-2 receptor and major histocompatibility complex glycoproteins in human T lymphoma cells.

Project description:The interleukin-9 receptor (IL-9R) consists of an α subunit and a γ(c) chain that are shared with other cytokine receptors, including interleukin-2 receptor (IL-2R), an important regulator of T cells. We previously showed that IL-2R is expressed in common clusters with major histocompatibility complex (MHC) glycoproteins in lipid rafts of human T lymphoma cells, which raised the question about what the relationship between clusters of IL-2R/MHC and IL-9R is. Confocal microscopy colocalization and fluorescence resonance energy transfer experiments capable of detecting membrane protein organization at different size scales revealed nonrandom association of IL-9R with IL-2R/MHC clusters at the surface of human T lymphoma cells. Accommodation of IL-9Rα in membrane areas segregated from the IL-2R/MHC domains was also detected. The bipartite nature of IL-9R distribution was mirrored by signal transducer and activator of transcription (STAT) activation results. Our data indicate that co-compartmentalization with MHC glycoproteins is a general property of γ(c) receptors. Distribution of receptor chains between different membrane domains may regulate their function.

Interleukin-1 receptor-mediated inflammation impairs the heat shock response of human mesothelial cells.

Project description:Bioincompatibility of peritoneal dialysis fluids (PDF) limits their use in renal replacement therapy. PDF exposure harms mesothelial cells but induces heat shock proteins (HSP), which are essential for repair and cytoprotection. We searched for cellular pathways that impair the heat shock response in mesothelial cells after PDF-exposure. In a dose-response experiment, increasing PDF-exposure times resulted in rapidly increasing mesothelial cell damage but decreasing HSP expression, confirming impaired heat shock response. Using proteomics and bioinformatics, simultaneously activated apoptosis-related and inflammation-related pathways were identified as candidate mechanisms. Testing the role of sterile inflammation, addition of necrotic cell material to mesothelial cells increased, whereas addition of the interleukin-1 receptor (IL-1R) antagonist anakinra to PDF decreased release of inflammatory cytokines. Addition of anakinra during PDF exposure resulted in cytoprotection and increased chaperone expression. Thus, activation of the IL-1R plays a pivotal role in impairment of the heat shock response of mesothelial cells to PDF. Danger signals from injured cells lead to an elevated level of cytokine release associated with sterile inflammation, which reduces expression of HSP and other cytoprotective chaperones and exacerbates PDF damage. Blocking the IL-1R pathway might be useful in limiting damage during peritoneal dialysis.

Cloning of the murine thymic stromal lymphopoietin (TSLP) receptor: Formation of a functional heteromeric complex requires interleukin 7 receptor.

Project description:The cellular receptor for murine thymic stromal lymphopoietin (TSLP) was detected in a variety of murine, but not human myelomonocytic cell lines by radioligand binding. cDNA clones encoding the receptor were isolated from a murine T helper cell cDNA library. TSLP receptor (TSLPR) is a member of the hematopoietin receptor family. Transfection of TSLPR cDNA resulted in only low affinity binding. Cotransfection of the interleukin 7 (IL-7)Ralpha chain cDNA resulted in conversion to high affinity binding. TSLP did not activate cells from IL-7Ralpha(-/)- mice, but did activate cells from gammac(-/)- mice. Thus, the functional TSLPR requires the IL-7Ralpha chain, but not the gammac chain for signaling.

Cloning and characterization of human protease-activated receptor 4.

Project description:Protease-activated receptors 1-3 (PAR1, PAR2, and PAR3) are members of a unique G protein-coupled receptor family. They are characterized by a tethered peptide ligand at the extracellular amino terminus that is generated by minor proteolysis. A partial cDNA sequence of a fourth member of this family (PAR4) was identified in an expressed sequence tag database, and the full-length cDNA clone has been isolated from a lymphoma Daudi cell cDNA library. The ORF codes for a seven transmembrane domain protein of 385 amino acids with 33% amino acid sequence identity with PAR1, PAR2, and PAR3. A putative protease cleavage site (Arg-47/Gly-48) was identified within the extracellular amino terminus. COS cells transiently transfected with PAR4 resulted in the formation of intracellular inositol triphosphate when treated with either thrombin or trypsin. A PAR4 mutant in which the Arg-47 was replaced with Ala did not respond to thrombin or trypsin. A hexapeptide (GYPGQV) representing the newly exposed tethered ligand from the amino terminus of PAR4 after proteolysis by thrombin activated COS cells transfected with either wild-type or the mutant PAR4. Northern blot showed that PAR4 mRNA was expressed in a number of human tissues, with high levels being present in lung, pancreas, thyroid, testis, and small intestine. By fluorescence in situ hybridization, the human PAR4 gene was mapped to chromosome 19p12.
