Abstract

Current advances in biomolecular technology allow precise genetic fingerprinting of specific cells responsible for the pathogenesis of human diseases. This study demonstrates the feasibility of generating target samples from laser capture microdissection (LCM) tissues suitable for hybridization of high-density oligonucleotide arrays for gene expression profiling. RNA was successfully isolated by LCM from three paired specimens of oral cancer and linearly amplified using T7 RNA polymerase. Evaluation of the cDNA revealed that five of five cellular maintenance transcripts are detected. Biotinylated cRNA was generated and hybridized to the human Test 1 GeneChip probe arrays, which demonstrated that the RNA is of sufficient quality and integrity to warrant further analysis. Subsequent hybridization of the samples to the HuGenFL GeneChip probe arrays revealed that 26.5%-33.0% of the approximately 7000 represented genes are expressed in each of the six samples. These results demonstrate that LCM-generated tissues can generate sufficient quality cRNA for high-density oligonucleotide microarray analysis, an important step in determining comprehensive gene expression profiling using this high-throughput technology.

Disease-causing missense mutations in the PHEX gene interfere with membrane targeting of the recombinant protein.

PHEX is homologous to the M13 zinc metallopeptidases, a class of type II membrane glycoproteins. Although more than 140 mutations in the PHEX gene have been identified in patients with X-linked hypophosphatemia (XLH), the most prevalent form of inherited rickets, the molecular consequences of disease-causing PHEX mutations have not yet been investigated. We examined the effect of PHEX missense mutations on cellular trafficking of the recombinant protein. Four mutant PHEX cDNAs were generated by PCR mutagenesis: C85R, G579R and S711R, identified in XLH patients, and E581V, previously engineered in neutral endopeptidase 24.11, where it abolished catalytic activity but not plasma membrane targeting. Wild-type and mutant PHEX cDNAs were transfected in HEK(293) cells and PHEX protein expression was characterized. In contrast to the wild-type and E581V PHEX proteins, the C85R, G579R and S711R mutants were completely sensitive to endoglycosidase H digestion, indicating that they were not fully glycosylated. Sequestration of the disease-causing mutant proteins in the endoplasmic reticulum (ER) and plasma membrane localization of wild-type and E581V PHEX proteins was demonstrated by immunofluorescence and cell surface biotinylation. Of the three mutant PHEX proteins, the S711R was the least stable and the only one that could be rescued from the ER to the plasma membrane in cells grown at 26 degrees C. The chemical chaperone glycerol failed to correct defective targeting of all three mutant proteins. Our data provide a mechanism for loss of PHEX function in XLH patients expressing the C85R, G579R and S711R mutations.

Functional cooperation between topoisomerase I and single strand DNA-binding protein.

Protein-protein interactions play important role in cell biochemistry by favorably or adversely influencing major molecular events. In most documented cases, the interaction is direct between the partner molecules. Influence of activity in the absence of direct physical interaction between DNA transaction proteins is another important means of modulation. We show here that single strand binding protein stimulates DNA topoisomerase I activity without direct protein-protein interactions. The stimulation is specific to topoisomerase I, as DNA gyrase activity is unaffected by SSB. We propose that such cases of functional collaboration between DNA transaction proteins play important roles in vivo.

In situ hybridization detection of single-copy human papillomavirus on isolated cells, using a catalyzed signal amplification system: GenPoint.

The performance and drawbacks of GenPoint, which is a catalyzed signal amplification system for immunohistochemistry, have been evaluated for its ability to reveal human papillomavirus (HPV) DNA detected by in situ hybridization with biotinylated DNA probes. For this aim, formalin-fixed cell deposits from carcinoma cells of the uterine cervix, CaSki, SiHa, and HeLa, containing, respectively, 600 copies of HPV DNA type 16, 1-2 copies of HPV DNA type 16, and 10-50 copies of HPV DNA type 18, were used, and the GenPoint method (consisting of successive incubations with peroxidase-conjugated streptavidin, biotinyl tyramide, and peroxidase-conjugated streptavidin) was compared to immunoenzymatic revelation procedures involving either a one-step reaction (streptavidin-alkaline phosphatase or streptavidin-peroxidase), or a three-step reaction (anti-biotin mouse monoclonal antibody, rabbit anti-mouse antiserum, and mouse APAAP complex). In these conditions, after analysis with a bright-field microscope, GenPoint appeared the most sensitive method of revelation, easily allowing detection of 1-2 copies of HPV DNA on isolated cells by in situ hybridization.
