چکیده

Previous studies have shown that the divalent-cation independent aggregation of simian virus 40-transformed 3T3 cells (SV-3T3) is mediated by the interaction of endogenous hyaluronate with binding sites on the cell surface. In the present study, the nature of the interaction of hyaluronate with the binding sites was characterized further by examining both the aggregation of SV-3T3 cells and the binding of exogenously added [3H]hyaluronate. The aggregation of SV-3T3 cells was found to be: (1) optimal at pH 7; (2) only slightly affected by variations in temperature between 0 and 40 degrees C; (3) more potently inhibited by the addition of high molecular weight preparations of hyaluronate than by lower molecular weight preparations; and (4) enhanced by increasing the ionic strength of the medium. With the exception of the effects of temperature, these characteristics correspond closely to those previously described for binding of [3H]hyaluronate. The effect of ionic strength on the binding of [3H]hyaluronate by SV-3T3 cells was found to correspond closely to its effect on lowering the viscosity of hyaluronate. Both effects (i.e. binding and reduction in viscosity) had similar dose-response curves for NaCl and MgCl2. This close correspondence between binding and the reduction of viscosity suggested that the effect of ionic strength on binding was due to a change in the structure of hyaluronate. Lowering the temperature (40 to 0 degrees C) also enhanced the binding of [3H]hyaluronate to SV-3T3 cells. However, this effect was blocked if the cells were first fixed with glutaraldehyde, suggesting that temperature mediates its effect through the binding sites. Additional experiments showed that the binding of [3H]hyaluronate by SV-3T3 cells could be prevented by preincubating the cells with several types of lectins.

Physical characteristics of hyaluronate binding to the surface of simian virus 40-transformed 3T3 cells.

The binding of labeled hyaluronate to the surface of Simian virus 40-transformed 3T3 cells was studied as a function of 1) pH, 2) ionic strength, 3) temperature, and 4) molecular weight of the hyaluronate. Binding occurred over a wide range of pH values with optima at pH 7 and at less than pH 4. Binding at low pH was eliminated at high ionic strength whereas that at physiological pH was enhance...

Differential responsiveness of normal and simian virus 40-transformed BALB/c 3T3 cells to retinoic acid: rapid enhancement of epidermal growth factor receptor binding in a simian virus 40-3T3 variant.

The effects of retinoic acid on the epidermal growth factor (EGF) receptor binding and cell growth of normal and simian virus 40 (SV40)-transformed BALB/c 3T3 cells were compared under identical culture conditions. Retinoic acid induced a rapid enhancement of EGF binding to SV40-transformed cells. Half-maximal enhancement occurred at about 7 h after the cells were exposed to 20 ng/ml of retinoi...

Surface morphology and agglutinability with concanavalin A in normal and transformed murine fibroblasts

The surface morphology of attached and suspended normal and transformed fibroblasts has been studied with the scanning electron microscope. Normal murine fibroblasts (3T3) grow in vitro with widely extended leading lamellae. During most parts of the cell cycle the surfaces of these cells are practically free of microvilli. When the cells round up for mitosis, their cell surfaces become adorned ...

Catecholamine hormone receptor differences identified on 3T3 and simian virus-transformed 3T3 cells.

Identification and characterization of hormone receptors on the cell surface is an effective tool for studying the plasma membrane. Using the direct binding of a radiolabeled antagonist, (-)[3H]alprenolol, to crude membrane preparations, and a physiological response (cellular cyclic AMP levels), I demonstrated a catecholamine (beta-adrenergic) hormone receptor site coupled to a catecholamine re...

Fluorescent morphological probe for hyaluronate

Hyaluronate levels change dramatically during morphogenesis of various tissues and organs. Morphological detection of the exact temporal and spatial distribution patterns of hyaluronate may help to elucidate its role in morphogenesis. Since no specific direct method for visualizing hyaluronate with the light or electron microscope is currently available, we have developed a morphological probe ...
