    Abstract We had earlier reported that the human serum alpha 2-HS glycoprotein (1) is a physiological and specific inhibitor of the human insulin receptor tyrosine kinase (IR-TK). We have now expressed this human protein in the baculoviral expression system using the Sf-9 and High Five insect cells. The protein was optimally expressed at 72 h post infection. alpha 2-HSGbac completely inhibited the insulin-stimulated autophosphorylation and TK activity of partially purified IR preparations. It also abolished insulin-induced DNA synthesis in the H-35 rat hepatoma cell line. The effective concentration of the baculoviral derived alpha 2-HSG necessary for inhibiting IR-TK activity was significantly lower than that of the protein purified from human plasma.

    Abstract The present study is the first to show in pancreatic cancer (PC) the growth inhibition and apoptosis by novel MDM2 inhibitors (MI-319 & 219) through reactivation of p53 pathway. Our results highlight two new secondary targets of MDM2 inhibitor 'SIRT1' and Ku70. SIRT1 which has a role in ageing and cancer and is known to regulate p53 signaling through acetylation. Ku70 is a key component of non-homologous end joining machinery in the DNA damage pathway and is known to regulate apoptosis by blocking Bax entry into mitochondria. Growth inhibition and apoptosis by MI-219, MI-319 was accompanied by increase in levels of p53 along with p21(WAF1) and the proapoptotic Puma. SiRNA against p21(WAF1) abrogated the growth inhibition of PC cells confirming p21(WAF1) as a key player downstream of activated p53. Immunoprecipitation-western blot analysis revealed reduced association of MDM2-p53 interaction in drug exposed PC cells. In combination studies, the inhibitors synergistically augmented anti-tumor effects of therapeutic drug gemcitabine both in terms of cell growth inhibition as well as apoptosis. Surface plasmon resonance studies confirmed strong binding between MI-319 and Ku70 (K(D) 170 nM). Western blot revealed suppression of SIRT1 and Ku70 with simultaneous upregulation of acetyl-p53 (Lys379) and Bax. Co-Immunoprecipitation studies confirmed that MI-319 could disrupt Ku70-Bax and SIRT1-Bax interaction. Further, using wt-p53 xenograft of Capan-2, we found that oral administration of MI-319 at 300 mg/kg for 14 days resulted in significant tumor growth inhibition without any observed toxicity to the animals. No tumor inhibition was found in mut-p53 BxPC-3 xenografts. In light of our results, the inhibitors of MDM2 warrant clinical investigation as new agents for PC treatment.

  7. Article: Direct measurement of histone peptide elongation rate in cleaving sea urchin embryos.

    Abstract Regulation of protein synthesis can be exercised at a number of levels. One of the more experimentally difficult levels to approach has been the measurement of peptide elongation rate. This paper presents a new application of the cyanogen bromide (CNBr) cleavage of proteins in a direct measurement of histone peptide elongation rate in cleaving sea urchin embryos (Strongylocentrotus purpuratus). The data indicate an elongation rate (at 15 degrees C) for histones H2B and H1 alpha of 0.69 and 0.80 codons per s, respectively. These values fall within the range of previously published values of average peptide elongation rate for total protein in these cells. This method should be generally applicable to many systems for which the measurement of peptide elongation rate may provide a key to the understanding of the regulation of protein synthesis.

    Abstract Single-chain variable fragment antibodies (scFv) retain antigen specificity and offer advantages over intact antibodies as therapeutic agents. We cloned the cDNA of the V(H) and V(kappa) regions from a mouse hybridoma (HB-9645) directed against human CD20. In addition to the basic scFv construct (V(kappa)-L-V(H)), we genetically engineered a secretory signal, six histidine residues, and a 'Flu' tag to facilitate secretion, purification, and detection. A glycosyl-phosphatidylinositol (GPI) modification signal was added at the C terminus. The GPI-tagged and the non-tagged scFvs were expressed in high yields on the surface of stably transfected insect cells. The CD20-binding properties of purified non-GPI tagged scFv were examined using flow cytometry and immunocytochemistry. The non-GPI-tagged scFv selectively recognizes CD20-positive cells in a concentration-dependent manner. Double-flow cytometry analysis using fresh peripheral blood lymphocytes and WSU-FSCCL cells revealed that our scFv resolves the B-cell population better than the intact antibody. The GPI-tagged scFv was loaded onto the surface of sheep erythrocytes to form rosettes with CD20-positive cells. The genetically engineered anti-CD20 scFv and GPI-tagged derivative have binding specificity for the CD20 antigen. The scFvs described here has potential uses as an in vivo tumor-imaging agent and as a carrier vehicle for targeted delivery of cytocidal agents to CD20-positive cancer cells.

    Abstract Platelet-derived growth factor (PDGF) is a family of dimeric protein molecules synthesized by differentiated, non-dividing and proliferating blood cells. Experimental findings indicate that PDGF is involved in development and/or maintenance of physiological functions of certain normal blood cells. Also, PDGF synthesis correlates with certain blood cell proliferative diseases caused either spontaneously or associated with viral infection. There is increasing evidence that the diverse effects of PDGF in both normal and abnormal physiological functions of blood cells may be regulated at the level of its receptor. New experimental findings are discussed relating to PDGF receptors in normal leukemic, and virally-infected human cells of myeloid and lymphocytic lineages. At specific developmental stages this regulation may take the form of PDGF and its receptor being expressed or co-expressed; the unmodified or modified form of receptor that specifically interacts with PDGF; the cellular site at which the PDGF-receptor interacts with its ligand; and co-expression of the PDGF-receptor with other receptors associated with specific cell lineage or functions. Elucidation of events involved in synthesis, processing, and interactions of PDGF isoforms and their respective receptors will enable us to develop pharmacological means that may either interfere with, or enhance these desired blood cell functions. This review focuses on PDGF and its receptor in human blood cell differentiation and neoplasia.
