Potent antagonists of bombesin-like peptides have shown great potential for applications in cancer therapy. A 99mTc-labeled agent capable of identifying patients who could benefit from these emerging therapies would have a great impact on patient management. This study involves the synthesis and initial evaluation of technetium diaminedithiolate analogues derived from the potent bombesin analogue Pyr-Gln-Lys-Leu-Gly-Asn-Gln-Trp-Ala-Val-Gly-His-Leu-Met-NH2 (Lys3-bombesin). We coupled two diaminedithiol (DADT) bifunctional chelating agents (BCAs 1 and 2) to the Lys3 residue at the N-terminal region that is not required for binding to the receptor. 99mTc labeling was performed by ligand exchange on addition of [99mTc]glucoheptonate to a solution of the adduct at room temperature. Two products were obtained from each adduct on analysis by HPLC. The major to minor product ratios of the 99mTc-labeled analogues were 3:1 for products from BCA 1 and 9:1 for the products from BCA 2. Macroscopic amounts of the 99Tc analogues were similarly prepared using [99Tc]glucoheptonate. In this case, the major to minor ratios were 2:1 for the products from both BCAs. For initial evaluation of the binding of the Tc-labeled peptides to bombesin receptors, the 99Tc analogues were used in vitro in competitive binding assays in rat brain cortex membranes against [125I-Tyr4]bombesin. Results of the in vitro assays showed that the inhibition constants (Ki) of the major and minor products were 3.5+/-0.7 and 3.9+/-1.5 nM, respectively, for the products from BCA 1; and 7.4+/-2.0 and 5.2+/-1.5 nM for the products derived from BCA 2, respectively. The high affinity exhibited by these technetium analogues is an indication of their potential for use in non-invasive in vivo biochemical characterization of cancers that possess receptors for bombesin. 相似文献

Nalpha-for-Nle-Leu-Phe-Nle-Tyr-Lys, a chemotactic peptide that binds with high affinity to the chemoattractant receptor on granulocytes and monocytes, was labeled with 99mTc using the diaminedithiol (DADT) chelating system to coordinate the Tc. 99mTc labeling of the DADT-coupled peptide was accomplished in 84% overall yield (room temperature for 10 min) using [99mTc]glucoheptonate as the donor of prereduced Tc. HPLC analysis showed two major 99mTc-labeled peptide peaks, 99mTc-DADT-Pep-I and 99mTc-DADT-Pep-II, were obtained in a ratio of 1:0.85. Using an iodoacetamide-derivatized gel to remove unlabeled peptide from the 99mTc labeling mixtures, essentially no-carrier-added (nca) high-specific activity 99mTc-labeled chemotactic peptides were obtained. The 99Tc analogues of the peptides were synthesized (72% yield) in a similar fashion and correlated with 99mTc complexes I and II by HPLC. In vitro competitive receptor binding assays of the isolated 99Tc analogues were performed against the tritiated chemotactic peptide [3H]N-for-Met-Leu-Phe ([3H]fMLF) using isolated granulocytes. The 99Tc-derivatized peptides showed similar binding affinities to the chemoattractant receptor as the unlabeled Nalpha-for-Nle-Leu-Phe-Nle-Tyr-Lys. The nca 99mTc-labeled peptides gave high contrast images of experimental inflammation in rabbits without causing neutropenia. Thus, it is feasible to attach the Tc-DADT chelate to low-molecular weight receptor binding chemotactic peptides and retain substantial binding to the receptor. Chemotactic peptides labeled with 99mTc via the DADT ligand system have the potential for imaging focal sites of inflammation without toxic effects, an important consideration in the successful utilization of chemotactic peptide agonists. 相似文献

A hydrazinonicotinamide-functionalized cyclic platelet glycoprotein IIb/IIIa (GPIIb/IIIa) receptor antagonist [cyclo(D-Val-NMeArg-Gly-Asp-Mamb(5-(6-(6-hydrazinonicotin amido) hexanamide))) (HYNIC-tide)] was labeled with 99mTc using tricine and a water soluble phosphine (TPPTS, trisodium triphenylphosphine-3,3',3"-trisulfonate; TPPDS, disodium triphenylphosphine-3,3'-disulfonate; or TPPMS, sodium triphenylphosphine-3-monosulfonate] as coligands. The synthesis of technetium complexes, [99mTc(HYNICtide)(L)(tricine)] (1, L = TPPTS; 2, L = TPPDS; 3, L = TPPMS), can be performed in one or two steps in high yield and with high specific activity (> or = 20,000 Ci/mmol). For example, the reaction of the HYNICtide, [99mTc]pertechnetate, stannous chloride, and tricine at pH 4-5 and room temperature results in the complex [99mTc(HYNICtide)(tricine)2], which reacts with TPPTS (50 degrees C for 30 min) to give complex 1 in > or = 90% yield as determined by radio-HPLC. Complexes 1-3 are formed as equal mixtures of two isomeric forms and are stable for > or = 6 h in the reaction mixture and in dilute solution. Both isomeric forms of complex 1 were found by a platelet-binding assay to contain the 99mTc-labeled HYNICtide and possess biological activity. The composition of these complexes was determined to be 1:1:1:1 for Tc:HYNICtide:L:tricine through a series of mixed ligand experiments on the tracer (99mTc) level. Surprisingly, this composition is maintained over a wide range of relative ligand ratios. The relative bonding capability of the three phosphine coligands to the Tc was determined by spiking various amounts of TPPDS or TPPMS into TPPTS and falls in the order TPPMS > TPPDS > TPPTS. The lipophilicity of the [99m Tc]HYNICtide complexes can be systematically varied by the choice of the phosphine and aminocarboxylate coligands. Using the combination of tricine and a phosphine ligand, HYNIC-derivatized peptides or other small molecules can be labeled with 99mTc in high specific activity and with high stability for potential use as radiopharmaceuticals. 相似文献

A hydrazinonicotinamide-functionalized cyclic platelet glycoprotein IIb/IIIa (GPIIb/IIIa) receptor antagonist [HYNICtide, cyclo(D-Val-NMeArg-Gly-Asp-Mamb(5-(6-(6-hydrazinonicotina mido)hexanamide)))] was labeled with 99mTc using tricine and a series of imine-N-containing heterocycles as coligands. The imine-N-containing heterocycles include N-omega-Acetylhistamine (HIS-AC), N-(2-hydroxyethyl)isonicotinamide (ISONIC-HE), isonicotinic acid (ISONIC), isonicotinoyl-L-aspartic acid dimethyl ester (ISONIC-L-Asp-OMe2), 4-methyl-5-thiazoleethanol (MTE), nicotinic acid (NIC), 3-nitro-1,2,4-triazole (NTZ), 4-pyridylacetic acid (PA), 4-pyridineethanesulfonic acid (PES), and 3-pyridinesulfonic acid (PSA). The synthesis of these new ternary ligand [99mTc]HYNICtide complexes can be performed in one or two steps in high yield and high specific activity (>/=10 000 Ci/mmol HYNICtide). For example, the reaction of HYNICtide, [99mTc]pertechnetate, nicotinic acid, stannous chloride, and tricine at pH approximately 5 and 100 degreesC for 20 min results in the complex [99mTc(HYNICtide)(tricine)(NIC)] in >/=90% yield as determined by radio-HPLC. It was found that ternary ligand technetium complexes, [99mTc(HYNICtide)(tricine)(L)] (L = ISONIC, ISONIC-L-Asp-OMe2, ISONIC-HE, MTE, PA, PES, and PSA) are formed as equal mixtures of two isomeric forms. Complex [99mTc(HYNICtide)(tricine)(L)] (L = HIS-AC and NTZ) showed more than two well-resolved radiometric peaks at the retention times of interest, suggesting that they may have more than two forms in solution due to different bonding modalities of HIS-AC and NTZ. By a chirality experiment, it was found that the presence of two radiometric peaks is a result of the resolution of the two diastereomers which are formed by the combination of the chiral HYNICtide and the chiral technetium chelate. The formation of two diastereomers was also observed when a chiral imine-N-containing coligand was used for the radiolabeling of HYNIC-BA. The new ternary ligand [99mTc]HYNICtide complexes were found to be stable for up to 6 h in the reaction mixture. The high solution stability is attributed to their kinetic inertness. The composition of these complexes was determined to be 1:1:1:1 for Tc:HYNICtide:L:tricine (L = imine-N-containing heterocycles) through a series of mixed ligand experiments on the tracer (99mTc) level. The lipophilicity of the ternary ligand [99mTc]HYNICtide complexes can be systematically varied by the choice of polyaminocarboxylate and imine-N-containing coligands. Using the combination of tricine and an imine-N-containing coligand, HYNIC-derivatized peptides or other small molecules can be labeled with 99mTc in high specific activity and high stability for potential use as radiopharmaceuticals. 相似文献

Olopatadine (AL-4943A; KW-4679) [(Z)-11-[3-(dimethylamino)propylidene]-6, 11-dihydrodibenz[b,e]oxepine-2-acetic acid hydrochloride] is an antiallergic/antihistaminic drug under development for topical ocular use. The effects of the compound on release of proinflammatory mediators (histamine, tryptase and prostaglandin D2) from monodispersed human conjunctival mast cells were assessed. Histamine receptor subtype binding affinities and functional potencies were determined with ligand binding and phosphoinositide turnover assays, respectively. Olopatadine inhibited the release of histamine, tryptase and prostaglandin D2, in a concentration-dependent manner (IC50 = 559 microM). Evaluation of the interaction of olopatadine with histamine receptors revealed a relatively high affinity for the H1 receptor (Ki = 31.6 nM, pKi = 7.5 +/- 0.1, n = 7) but lower affinities for H2 receptors (Ki = 100 microM, pKi = 4.0 +/- 0.19, n = 7) and H3 receptors (Ki = 79.4 microM, pKi = 4.1 +/- 0.16, n = 7). The H1 selectivity of olopatadine was superior to that of other ocularly used antihistamines studied, such as ketotifen, levocabastine, antazoline and pheniramine. The profiling of olopatadine in 42 nonhistamine receptor binding assays revealed that olopatadine interacts with only two nonhistamine receptor/uptake sites to any significant degree (pIC50 < or = 5-6). Olopatadine inhibited histamine-induced phosphoinositide turnover in human conjunctival epithelial cells (IC50 = 10 nM, pIC50 = 8.0, n = 4) and in other human ocular cells (IC50 = 15.8-31.6 nM, pIC50 = 7.5-7.8) and exhibited apparent noncompetitive antagonist properties in these cells, with an estimated dissociation constant (Kb) of 19.9 nM (pKb = 7.7, n = 6). This combination of mast cell mediator release inhibition and selective H1 receptor antagonism suggests that olopatadine may be particularly useful in the treatment of ocular allergic diseases. Indeed, olopatadine has recently shown clinical efficacy in an allergic conjunctivitis model in human subjects. 相似文献

Lipoprotein (a) [Lp(a)], a risk factor for coronary artery disease, is a LDL-like particle with apolipoprotein (a) [apo(a)] covalently linked to apolipoprotein B (apoB). Apo(a) has many repeats of kringle 4-like domain, classified as type 1 through type 10 (T1-T10). Deletion analysis was performed to define the functional modules of human apo(a). We found that T7 has an affinity for cell surfaces and is required for Lp(a) formation. Cell surface binding was inhibited by L-proline, KI = 4.7 +/- 3.6 mM (n=3). We also found that T8 has an affinity for subendothelial extracellular matrix (ECM). ECM binding was inhibited modestly by L-proline (KI = 6.1 +/- 1.9 mM, n=3), and more effectively by L-lysine (KI = 2.7 +/- 1.0 mM, n=3) and its analogue, 6-aminohexanoic acid (KI = 0.35 +/- 0.13 mM, n=3). These data point to T7 and T8 as important functional modules of apo(a). 相似文献

Starting from 3-(3-chloro-1H-pyrazol-5-yl)-1H-quinoxalin-2-one (2) a series of substituted [1,2,4]triazolo[4,3-a]quinoxalines (3a-f) was prepared via a multistep reaction sequence. Affinities of the novel derivatives 3a-f for benzodiazepine as well as for adenosine A1- and A2A-receptors of rat brain were determined by radioligand binding assays. 1-Methyl-4-(3-chloro-1H-pyrazol-5-yl) derivative 3a exhibited submicromolar affinity for the benzodiazepine binding site of GABAA receptors (Ki = 340 nM) and was less potent at A1-(Ki = 7.85 microM) and A2A-(Ki = 1.43 microM) adenosine receptors (AR). Derivatives with larger substituents in the 1-position showed reduced binding to benzodiazepine and A2A-AR, but increased A1-AR affinity, the 2-thienylmethyl derivative 3f being the most potent and selective A1-AR ligand of the present series (Ki = 200 nM). 相似文献

We recently reported on the successful generation of immortalized (CEPI-17-CL4) cells from primary human corneal epithelial (P-CEPI) cells which exhibited phenotypic, immunohistochemical and metabolic characteristics akin to the P-CEPI cells. The aims of the present studies were to investigate the ligand binding and functional coupling of the histamine receptors to various biochemical and physiological systems in the P-CEPI and CEPI-17-CL4 cells and to relate these findings to the normal and/or pathophysiological role of histamine on the human ocular surface. Specific [3H]-pyrilamine binding to CEPI-17-CL4 cell homogenates comprised >93% of the total binding and represented interaction with an apparent single population of high affinity (Kd=3.76+/-0.78 nM; n=4) and saturable (Bmax = 1582+/-161 fmol g(-1) tissue) number of histamine-1 (H1) receptor binding sites on CEPI-17-CL4 cell homogenates. The H1-receptor selective antagonists, pyrilamine (Ki=3.6+/-0.84 nM, n=4) and triprolidine (Ki = 7.7+/-2.6 nM, n=3), potently displaced [3H]-pyrilamine binding, while the H2- and H3-receptor selective antagonists, ranitidine and clobenpropit, were weak inhibitors (K(i)s>13 microM). Histamine induced phosphoinositide (PI) hydrolysis 2.7-4.4 fold above basal levels and with a potency of 14.9+/-4.9 microM (n=9) and 4.7+/-0.2 microM (n=9) in P-CEPI and CEPI-17-CL4 cells, respectively. Histamine-induced PI turnover was antagonized by H1-receptor selective antagonist, triprolidine, with a potency (Ki) of 3.2+/-0.66 nM (n=10) and 3.03+/-0.8 nM (n=4) in P-CEPI and CEPI-17-CL4 cells, respectively, but weakly effected by 10 microM cimetidine and clobenpropit, H2- and H3-receptor antagonists. The PI turnover response was attenuated by pre-treatment of the cells with the selective phospholipase C inhibitor, U73122 (1-(6-((17beta-3-methoxyestra- 1,3,5(10)-trien-17-yl)amino)hexyl)-1H-pyrrole-2,5-dione) (IC50=4.8+/-2.4 microM, n = 3). Histamine stimulated intracellular Ca2+ ([Ca2+]i) mobilization in CEPI-17-CL4 cells with a potency of 6.3+/-1.5 microM (n=4). The histamine-induced [Ca2+]i mobilization was reduced by about 28% following pre-incubation of the cells with 4 mM EGTA. While triprolidine completely inhibited histamine-induced [Ca2+]i mobilization, it did not influence the bradykinin-induced [Ca2+]i mobilization response. Histamine (EC50s = 1.28-2.77 microM, n=3-4) concentration-dependently stimulated the release of interleukin-6 (IL-6), IL-8 and granulocyte macrophage colony-stimulating factor, but it did not significantly alter release of tumour necrosis factor-alpha, PGE2 or collagenase-1 (matrix metalloproteinase-1; MMP-1) from CEPI cells. However, IL-1 (10 ng ml(-1)), foetal bovine serum (10%) and phorbol-12-myristate-13-acetate (3 microg ml(-1)) were effective positive control secretagogues of all the cytokines, PGE2 and MMP-1, respectively, from these cells. It is concluded that the CEPI cells express H1-histamine receptors which are positively coupled to PI turnover and [Ca2+]i mobilization which may be directly or indirectly responsible for the release of various cytokines from these cells at physiologically and/or pathologically relevant concentrations. 相似文献

The aim of the present study was to establish a radioligand binding assay to selectively label the native 5-HT7 receptor expressed in rat brain. In rat whole brain (minus cerebellum and striatum) homogenate, (+/-)-pindolol (10 microM)-insensitive [3H]5-CT ([3H]5-carboxamidotryptamine; 0.5 nM) specific binding (defined by 5-HT, 10 microM) displayed a pharmacological profile similar to the recombinant 5-HT7 receptor, although the Hill coefficients for competition curves generated by methiothepin, ritanserin, sumatriptan, clozapine and pimozide were significantly less than unity. In homogenates of rat hypothalamus, (+/-)-pindolol (10 microM)-insensitive [3H]5-CT recognition sites also resembled, pharmacologically, the 5-HT7 receptor, although pimozide still generated Hill coefficients significantly less than unity. Subsequent studies were performed in the additional presence of WAY100635 (100 nM) to prevent [3H]5-CT binding to residual, possibly, 5-HT1A sites. Competition for this [3H]5-CT binding indicated the labelling in whole rat brain homogenate of a homogenous population of sites with the pharmacological profile of the 5-HT7 receptor. Saturation studies also indicated that (+/-)-pindolol (10 microM)/WAY 100635 (100 nM)-insensitive [3H]5-CT binding to homogenates of whole rat brain was saturable and to an apparently homogenous population of sites which were labelled with nanomolar affinity (Bmax=33.2+/-0.7 fmol mg(-1) protein, pKd=8.78+/-0.05, mean+/-S.E.M., n=3). The development of this 5-HT7 receptor binding assay will aid investigation of the rat native 5-HT7 receptor. 相似文献

To develop chelating molecules that provide 99mTc-labeled polypeptides of high in vivo stability and high specific activities under mild reaction conditions, an asymmetrical bis(benzohydroxamamide) compound with an amine group, 4'-aminomethyl-N,N'-trimethylenedibenzohydroxamamide [NH2-C3(BHam)2], was designed and synthesized. The amine residue of NH2-C3(BHam)2 was converted to a maleimide group by reaction with N-succinimidyl-6-maleimidohexanoate, and the conjugation product was coupled to thiol groups of a monoclonal antibody against osteogenic sarcoma (OST7, IgG1) pretreated with 2-iminothiolane to prepare C3(BHam)2-OST7. 99mTc radiolabeling of C3(BHam)2-OST7 was performed by the exchange reaction with [99mTc]glucoheptonate. [99mTc]C3(BHam)2-OST7 was further characterized using directly radioiodinated OST7 ([125I]OST7) and [111In]labeled OST7 with 1-[4-[(5-maleimidopentyl)amidobenzyl]ethylenediamine-N,N, N'N'-tetraacetic acid (EMCS-Bz-EDTA) as references. [99mTc]C3(BHam)2-OST7 was obtained with radiochemical yields of over 94% at protein concentrations as low as 0.2 mg/mL at room temperature for 1 h. [99mTc]C3(BHam)2-OST7 remained stable after incubation in freshly prepared murine plasma and in the presence of cysteine. Similar binding affinities to tumor cells were observed between [99mTc]C3(BHam)2-OST7 and [125I]OST7. When injected into normal mice, [99mTc]C3(BHam)2-OST7 exhibited radioactivity levels in the blood similar to [111In]-EMCS-Bz-EDTA-OST7 up to 24 h postinjection with significantly faster elimination rate of the radioactivity from the liver. In nude mice bearing osteogenic sarcoma, no significant differences were observed in the radioactivity levels in the blood and the tumor between [99mTc]C3(BHam)2-OST7 and [125I]OST7 at 24 h postinjection. These findings indicated that C3(BHam)2 provided 99mTc chelate of high stability at low concentrations even when conjugated to an intact antibody. Such characteristics render bis(hydroxamamide) compounds useful as chelating molecules for preparation of 99mTc-labeled polypeptides. 相似文献

L-745,870,(3-([4-(4-chlorophenyl)piperazin-1-yl]methyl)-1H- pyrollo[2,3-b] pyridine, was identified as a selective dopamine D4 receptor antagonist with excellent oral bioavailability and brain penetration. L-745,870 displaced specific binding of 0.2 nM [3H] spiperone to cloned human dopamine D4 receptors with a binding affinity (Ki) of 0. 43 nM which was 5- and 20-fold higher than that of the standard antipsychotics haloperidol and clozapine, respectively. L-745,870 exhibited high selectivity for the dopamine D4 receptor (>2000 fold) compared to other dopamine receptor subtypes and had moderate affinity for 5HT2, sigma and alpha adrenergic receptors(IC50 < 300 nM). In vitro, L-745,870 (0.1-1 microM) exhibited D4 receptor antagonist activity, reversing dopamine (1 microM) mediated 1) inhibition of adenylate cyclase in hD4HEK and hD4CHO cells; 2) stimulation of [35S] GTPgammaS binding and 3) stimulation of extracellular acidification rate, but did not exhibit any significant intrinsic activity in these assays. Although standard antipsychotics increase dopamine metabolism or plasma prolactin levels in rodents, L-745,870 (=30 mg/kg p.o.) had no effect in these assays. The lack of a suitable in vivo assay for D4 receptor activation prompted the use of in vivo surrogate marker assays which confirmed that doses of 5-60 microg/kg L-745,870 would be sufficient to occupy 50% D4 receptors in the brain. These results show that dopamine D4 receptor antagonism in the brain does not result in the same neurochemical consequences (increased dopamine metabolism or hyperprolactinemia) observed with typical neuroleptics. 相似文献

Although coronary artery disease (CAD) is appreciated to be accelerated in patients with chronic spinal cord injury (SCI), the underlying mechanism of CAD in SCI remains obscure. We have recently shown that platelets from subjects with SCI develop resistance to the inhibitory effect of prostacyclin (PGI2) on the platelet stimulation of thrombin generation. The loss of the inhibitory effect was due to the loss of high-affinity prostanoid receptors, which may contribute to atherogenesis in SCI. Incubation of normal, non-SCI platelets in SCI plasma (n = 12) also resulted in the loss of high-affinity binding of PGI2 (Kd1 = 9.1 +/- 2.0 nM; n1 = 170 +/- 32 sites per cell vs. Kd1 = 7.2 +/- 1.1 nM; n1 = 23 +/- 8 sites per cell), with no significant change in the low-affinity receptors (Kd2 = 1.9 +/- 0.1 microM; n2 = 1,832 +/- 232 sites per cell vs. Kd2 = 1. 6 +/- 0.1 microM; n2 = 1,740 +/- 161 sites per cell) as determined by Scatchard analysis of the binding of [3H]PGE1. The loss of high-affinity PGI2 binding led to the failure of PGI2 to inhibit the platelet-stimulated thrombin generation. The increase of cellular cyclic AMP level, mediated through the binding of PGI2 to low-affinity receptors in platelets, was unaffected in SCI platelets. PAGE and immunoblot of SCI plasma showed the presence of an IgG band, which specifically blocked the binding of [3H]PGE1 to the high-affinity PGI2 receptors of normal platelets. PAGE of the reduced IgG band, the amino acid sequence of the novel band as a heavy chain of IgG that inhibits the binding of [3H]PGE1 to the high-affinity platelet PGI2 receptor, demonstrates that the specific recognition and inhibition of high-affinity PGI2 binding to platelets was due to an anti-prostacyclin receptor antibody present in SCI plasma. 相似文献

Site-directed mutagenesis and assay of Rb+ and Tl+ occlusion in recombinant Na,K-ATPase from yeast were combined to establish structure-function relationships of amino acid side chains involved in high-affinity occlusion of K+ in the E2[2K] form. The wild-type yeast enzyme was capable of occluding 2 Rb+ or Tl+ ions/ouabain binding site or alpha 1 beta 1 unit with high apparent affinity (Kd(Tl+) = 7 +/- 2 microM), like the purified Na,K-ATPase from pig kidney. Mutations of Glu327(Gln,Asp), Asp804(Asn, Glu), Asp808(Asn, Glu) and Glu779(Asp) abolished high-affinity occlusion of Rb+ or Tl+ ions. The substitution of Glu779 for Gln reduced the occlusion capacity to 1 Tl+ ion/alpha 1 beta 1-unit with a 3-fold decrease of the apparent affinity for the ion (Kd(Tl+) = 24 +/- 8 microM). These effects on occlusion were closely correlated to effects of the mutations on K0.5(K+) for K+ displacement of ATP binding. Each of the four carboxylate residues Glu327, Glu779, and Asp804 or Asp808 in transmembrane segments 4, 5, and 6 is therefore essential for high-affinity occlusion of K+ in the E2[2K] form. These residues either may engage directly in cation coordination or they may be important for formation or stability of the occlusion cavity. 相似文献

The aim of this study was to compare the effects of increased concentrations of MgADP, inorganic phosphate (Pi) and H+ ([MgADP], [Pi] and [H+], respectively) on the rate of relaxation in two different muscle types: skinned muscle fibres from the frog Rana temporaria and myofibrillar bundles from the giant Pacific acorn barnacle Balanus nubilus. Relaxation transients are produced by the photolysis of diazo-2 and are well fitted with a double exponential curve, giving two rate constants: k1 [5.6+/-0.1 s-1 for barnacle, n=30; 26.3+/-0.7 s-1 for frog, n=14 (mean+/-SEM)] and k2 [0.6+/-0.1 s-1 in barnacle, n=30; 10.4+/-1.0 s-1 in frog, n=14 (mean+/-SEM)], at 10 degrees C. Decreasing the pH by 0.5 pH units did not significantly affect k1 for barnacle relaxation [5.6+/-0.1 s-1 (mean+/-SEM), n=15] compared to the decrease in k1 of 40% seen in frog. Use of the Ca2+-sensitive fluorescent label acrylodan on barnacle wild-type troponin C demonstrated that decreasing the pH from 7.0 to 6.6 only alters the pCa50 value by 0.23 in the cuvette, while stopped-flow experiments with acrylodan revealed no significant change in koff from the labelled protein [322+/-32 s-1 at pH 7.0 and 381+/-24 s-1 (mean+/-SEM) at pH 6.6]. Increasing [MgADP] by 20 microM (50 microM added ADP) from control values of 50 microM in frog decreased k1 to 12.3+/-0.4 s-1 (mean+/-SEM, n=8), and at 400 microM MgADP, k1=9.6+/-0.1 s-1 (mean+/-SEM, n=12). In barnacle, 500 microM MgADP had a much smaller effect on k1 (4.0+/-0. 9 s-1, mean+/-SEM, n=8). Increasing the free [Pi] from the contaminant level of 0.36 mM to 1.9 mM slowed k1 by approximately 15% in barnacle [4.8+/-0.8 s-1, mean+/-SEM, n=7], compared to a approximately 30% reduction seen in frog. We conclude that the differences between barnacle and frog seen here are most probably due to different isomers of the contractile proteins, and that events underlying the crossbridge cycle are the same or similar. We interpret our results according to a model of crossbridge transitions during relaxation. 相似文献

Saturable specific binding of glycine to synaptosomal membranes from plexiform layers of the retina has been described, which seems to correspond to the modulatory site on NMDA-receptors (26). Spermine inhibited specific [3H]glycine binding to membranes from synaptosomal fractions from the outer (P1) and the inner (P2) plexiform layers of 1-3 day-old chick retinas in a dose-dependent manner with an IC50 = 35 microM for the P1 fraction and 32 microM for the P2 fraction. Kinetic experiments and non-linear regression analysis of [3H]glycine-specific binding showed a Kd approximately 100-150 nM in both fractions, and a higher Bmax (4.11 +/- 0.47 pmol/mg protein) for the inner plexiform layer compared to the outer plexiform layer (Bmax = 2.76 +/- 0.25 pmol/mg protein). Strychnine-insensitive [3H]glycine binding was inhibited by 100 microM spermine, due to a reduction in Bmax (P1 = 0.84 +/- 0.16 pmol/mg protein; P2 = 0.81 +/- 0.16 pmol/mg protein) without affecting the Kd. Association and dissociation constants in the absence and presence of 50 microM spermine remained unchanged. Results demonstrate the presence of a single modulatory site for spermine on NMDA receptors, in both synaptic layers of the chick retina. 相似文献

Certain Class III anti-arrhythmic agents have been shown to interact with human leukocytes and after antigenic and mitogenic activation. We hypothesized that a binding site for the Class III anti-arrhythmic agent, dofetilide, would exist on human leukocytes. Analysis of binding isotherms defined the presence of a single high affinity binding site on mononuclear cells and neutrophils: Kd 26+/-4 nm, Bmax 61+/-14 fmol/10( 6) cells and Kd 33+/-14 nm, Bmax 163+/-45 fmol/10(6) cells, respectively. Other Class III drugs inhibited [3H]-dofetilide binding at physiologically relevant concentrations, but the IC50 values of E4031 and quinidine were significantly higher for leukocytes than for cardiac myocytes. Interestingly, verapamil inhibited [3H]-dofetilide binding to leukocytes, but not to cardiac myocytes at physiologic concentrations (10 microM). Charybdotoxin and tetraethlyammonium inhibited [3H]-dofetilide binding to leukocytes at microM mm concentrations, respectively, however, apamin did not inhibit binding even at 1 microM concentrations. These data suggest that a Ca2+-activated K+ channel, like K(Ca) mini (apamin-insensitive isoform), is a candidate for the leukocyte [3H]-dofetilide binding site. To assess the functional significance of defetilide binding to leukocyte biology, we evaluated fMLP-stimulated superoxide production in the presence or absence of dofetilide. Dofetilide, at 30 nm suppressed of superoxide production. In conclusion, dofetilide binds to human leukocytes at physiologic concentrations and this binding alters leukocyte function possibly through interaction with a Ca2+-activated K+ channel. 相似文献

A specific binding site for 1-[3H]stearoyl-lysophosphatidic acid (stearoyl-LPA) was identified and characterized in membranes prepared from rat brain and Swiss 3T3 fibroblasts. Specific binding of [3H]LPA to these sites was protein dependent, was saturable, reached equilibrium in 15 min, and was displacable by the addition of excess unlabeled LPA. Scatchard analysis of saturation binding experiments indicated that these sites had affinities of 2.0 +/- 0.5 nM and 5.4 +/- 2.6 nM and densities of 19 +/- 3 fmol/micrograms of protein and 38 +/- 6 fmol/micrograms of protein in rat brain and 3T3 cell membranes, respectively. Various LPAs, with different acyl groups in the sn-1-position, competed with [3H]LPA for these binding sites, with a rank order of potency of 1-oleoyl-LPA > 1-stearoyl-LPA = 1-palmitoyl-LPA > 1-myristoyl-LPA. Phosphatidic acid also bound to these sites, but with lower affinity than any LPA tested. Neither lysophosphatidylcholine, lysophosphatidylethanolamine, nor any free fatty acid competed with [3H]LPA for these binding sites. Binding of [3H]LPA to these sites was regulated by nonhydrolyzable guanine nucleotides in both rat brain and 3T3 cell membranes. Furthermore, in 3T3 cells, these sites were regulated by cell density. It was subsequently determined that LPA induced a transient increase in intracellular Ca2+ levels in 3T3 cells. The concentrations required for this response, as well as the rank order of potency of the various LPAs and phosphatidic acid, correlated with the affinity of these compounds for the [3H]LPA binding site. These results suggest that the specific, high affinity, binding sites for [3H]LPA are G protein-coupled receptors. 相似文献

The present study has employed membrane-binding studies and in vitro autoradiography to demonstrate the presence of adenosine transport sites in human inferior vagal ganglia using [3H]nitrobenzylthioinosine ([3H]NBMPR), a potent inhibitor of adenosine transport. In addition, [3H]NBMPR was used to determine whether adenosine transport sites are subject to axonal transport along the rat vagus nerve. Binding of [3H]NBMPR to human inferior vagal ganglia membranes was saturable and reversible. Saturation experiments revealed a single class of high affinity-binding sites with a Kd of 93.73 +/- 23.13 pM and Bmax of 413.50 +/- 50.40 fmol/mg protein. In displacement experiments, the adenosine transport inhibitor dipyridamole was the most potent displacer of [3H]NBMPR binding (Ki = 42.7 +/- 28.0 nM). Adenosine itself was able to fully displace [3H]NBMPR binding with a Ki of 115.0 +/- 34.0 microM. The A1/A2a adenosine receptor agonist 5'-(N-ethylcarboxamido)-adenosine (NECA) was able to fully displace [3H]NBMPR binding in only one experiment at a concentration of 100 microM, yielding an affinity 1000-fold higher than its affinity for adenosine receptors. All competition curves obtained from displacement experiments displayed monophasic profiles, indicating the presence of a single class of [3H]NBMPR binding sites. Incubation of human inferior vagal ganglia sections with [3H]NBMPR (0.7 nM) revealed dense binding which appeared to be consistent with the distribution of neuronal cell bodies in this tissue. Following unilateral ligation of the vagus nerve in the rat, accumulation of [3H]NBMPR binding sites occurred both proximal and distal to the vagal ligatures. These results suggest that [3H]NBMPR binds with high affinity to a single class of adenosine transport sites, and that these sites are present on vagal afferent neurons in the human and undergo bidirectional axonal transport along the rat vagus nerve. 相似文献

Inositol 1,4,5-trisphosphate (InsP3) is a second messenger responsible for the rapid and discontinuous release of Ca2+ from intracellular stores. In this study, the effects of the sulfhydryl reagent thimerosal were investigated on Ca2+ mobilization and on InsP3 binding. Thimerosal was shown to release Ca2+, in a dose-dependent manner, with an EC50 of 135.8 +/- 5.2 microM, from bovine adrenal cortex microsomes. Thimerosal-induced Ca2+ release was not prevented by heparin (250 micrograms/ml), ruling out a participation of InsP3 receptor in that effect. The slow rate of thimerosal-induced Ca2+ release rather suggested an inhibition of microsomal Ca2+ ATPase. At submaximal concentration, thimerosal (100 microM) was also shown to potentiate the release of Ca2+ induced by InsP3. Dose-response experiments revealed that thimerosal enhanced the apparent affinity of InsP3 by a factor 2.21 +/- 0.28, without modifying the maximal amount of Ca2+ released by InsP3. Thimerosal also enhanced, in a dose-dependent manner, [3H]InsP3 binding to adrenal cortex microsomes (EC50 = 43.3 +/- 7.6 microM). A similar effect was also observed on [3H]InsP3 binding to solubilized receptors, suggesting a direct modification of the receptor protein by thimerosal. The effects of thimerosal on Ca2+ release and [3H]InsP3 binding were abolished in the presence of the reducing agent dithiothreitol (1 mM), suggesting a modification by thimerosal of specific thiol groups on these microsomal proteins. Scatchard analysis revealed that thimerosal (100 microM) increased InsP3 receptor affinity by 1.87 +/- 0.26-fold. Kinetic analysis indicated that this increased affinity was due to an enhancement of InsP3 association rate constant. The concomitant increases of binding affinity and Ca2+ releasing potency suggest that the high affinity state of InsP3 receptor is a functional state. 相似文献
