Lumenal Labeling of Rat Hepatocyte Early Endosomes

چکیده

We used lactoperoxidase-mediated iodination to investigate the lumenal polypeptide composition of rat hepatocyte endosomes. A chemical conjugate of asialoorosomucoid and lactoperoxidase that binds specifically to hepatocyte asialoglycoprotein receptors was perfused through isolated rat livers at 16 "C in the presence of mannan, resulting in the accumulation of ligand in early endosomes. Endosome containing low density vesicle fractions were subsequently isolated from sucrose gradients of microsomes, and the lactoperoxidase moiety was used to catalyze the iodination of lumenal-facing proteins. After gel electrophoresis, '261-labeled early endosomes reproducibly showed a distinct l2'1-polypeptide profile containing prominently labeled bands migrating at 43,52,58,90, 110, 135, 230, and >300 kDa. The asialoglycoprotein receptor (43-, 52-, and 58-kDa subunits) was by far the predominantly labeled protein even when iodinations were performed under conditions of receptorligand dissociation, and we conclude that it is the most abundant hepatocyte early endosomal protein. Furthermore, the iodination profile of the three asialoglycoprotein receptor subunits differed strikingly from their chemical amounts. Using immunoprecipitation, we directly identified the Na+,K+-ATPase; to our knowledge, this is the first biochemical evidence for the Na+,K+-ATPase in rat hepatocyte early endosomes. We also directly identified receptors for mannose 6phosphate, epidermal growth factor, transferrin, and polymeric IgA in '261-labeled early endosomes.

Annexin VI defines an apical endocytic compartment in rat liver hepatocytes.

Annexin VI has been demonstrated previously to be a marker for hepatic endosomes. By western blotting with an affinity purified anti-annexin VI antibody it was shown that annexin VI was present in the three morphologically and functionally different endosomal fractions from rat liver. We have quantified the gold-labeled endosomes by immunoelectron microscopy in ultrathin Lowicryl sections of ra...

Lysosomes can fuse with a late endosomal compartment in a cell-free system from rat liver

The passage of pulse doses of asialoglycoproteins through the endosomal compartments of rat liver hepatocytes was studied by subcellular fractionation and EM. The kinetics of disappearance of radiolabeled asialofetuin from light endosomes prepared on Ficoll gradients were the same as the kinetics of disappearance of asialoorosomucoid-horse radish peroxidase reaction products from intracellular ...

Iron Overload Induced Apoptotic Cell Death in Isolated Rat Hepatocytes Mediated by Reactive Oxygen Species

Isolated rat hepatocytes in culture were incubated with different concentrations of iron-sorbitol (50, 100, 150, and 200 µM) to assess the changes in reactive oxygen species (ROS) and lipid peroxidation leading to apoptotic hepatocyte cell death. The viability of hepatocytes was declined depending on the iron concentration. One hour incubation of the cells with 100 µM iron resulted in decreased...

Proteolytic cleavage of ricin A chain in endosomal vesicles. Evidence for the action of endosomal proteases at both neutral and acidic pH.

Macrophages actively internalize macromolecules into endosomal vesicles containing proteases. The plant toxin, ricin A chain delivered into this pathway by receptor-mediated endocytosis, was found to be exquisitely sensitive to cleavage by these proteases. Proteolytic fragments of ricin A chain were generated within cells as early as 2-3 min after internalization. Toxin proteolysis was initiate...
