Abstract

The effect of peroxidation on 5'-nucleotidase activity as well as on membrane microviscosity has been investigated in liver plasma membranes from Wistar rats. The peroxidation was performed with 100 microM H2O2 and 200 microM FeSO4 and/or with 5 mM t-butylhydroperoxide. Treatment of the membranes with these oxidizing agents resulted in an elevation of the transition temperatures of the polarization of the lipid fluorescent probes 1,6 diphenyl-1,3,5 hexatriene (DPH), 3-p-(6-phenyl) 1,3,5 hexatriene phenylpropionic acid (PA-DPH) as well as of the fluorescent thiol reagent N-(1-pyrene) maleimide (1-PM). The peroxidation resulted in a decrease of the activity of 5'nucleotidase. Our data support that the increase of membrane microviscosity of the lipid domain regulates the activity of 5'-nucleotidase.

Simultaneous generation of CD34+ primitive hematopoietic cells and CD73+ mesenchymal stem cells from human embryonic stem cells cocultured with murine OP9 stromal cells.

OBJECTIVE: Human embryonic stem cells (hESCs) have been shown to generate CD34(+) primitive hematopoietic cells after several days of coculturing with the OP9 murine stromal cell line. CD73(+) multipotent mesenchymal cells have also been isolated from hESC/OP9 cocultures after several weeks. We hypothesized that generation of CD34(+) hematopoietic cells and CD73(+) mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) may follow similar kinetics, so we investigated the generation of CD73(+) cells in the first 2 weeks of hESC/OP9 cocultures, at a time when CD34(+) cells are generated. MATERIALS AND METHODS: We cocultured hESCs with OP9 cells and examined the time course of appearance of human CD34(+) and CD73(+) cells using flow cytometry. We tested the hematopoietic progenitor potentials of CD34(+) cells generated using hematopoietic colony-forming assays, and the multipotent mesenchymal properties of CD73(+) cells generated using in vitro differentiation assays. RESULTS: We observed that in the first 2 weeks of the hESC/OP9 coculture system CD34(+) hematopoietic and CD73(+) MSC generation follows a similar pattern. We sorted the CD34(+) cells and showed that they can generate hematopoietic progenitor colonies. Starting with cocultured cells on day 8, and through an enrichment procedure, we also could generate a pure population of MSCs. These hESC-derived MSCs had typical morphological and cell surface marker characteristics of adult bone marrow-derived MSCs, and could be differentiated toward osteogenic, adipogenic, and chondrogenic cells in vitro, a hallmark property of MSCs. CONCLUSIONS: OP9 cells when cocultured with hESCs support simultaneous generation of CD34(+) primitive hematopoietic cells and CD73(+) MSCs from hESCs.

Nucleotide metabolizing ecto-enzymes in Walker 256 tumor cells: molecular identification, kinetic characterization and biochemical properties.

In this study we describe the molecular identification, kinetic characterization and biochemical properties of an E-NTPDase and an 5'-nucleotidase in Walker 256 cells. For the ATP, ADP and AMP hydrolysis there were optimum pH in the range 6.5-8.0, and absolute requirement for divalent cations (Mg(2+)>Ca(2+)). A significant inhibition of ATP and ADP hydrolysis was observed in the presence of high concentrations of sodium azide and 0.5 mM of Gadolinium chloride. These activities were insensitive to ATPase, adenylate kinase and alkaline phosphatase classical inhibitors. The K(m) values were 464.2+/-86.6 microM (mean+/-SEM, n=4), 137.0+/-31 microM (mean+/-SEM, n=5) and 44.8+/-10.2 microM (mean+/-SEM, n=4), and V(max) values were 655.0+/-94.6 (mean+/-SEM, n=4), 236.3+/-27.2 (mean+/-SEM, n=5) and 177.6+/-13.8 (mean+/-SEM, n=5) nmol of inorganic phosphate min(-1) mg of protein(-1) for ATP, ADP and AMP, respectively. Using RT-PCR analysis we identified the mRNA of two members of the ecto-nucleoside triphosphate diphosphohydrolase family (NTPDase 2 and 5) and a 5'-nucleotidase. The presence of NTPDases and 5'-nucleotidase enzymes in Walker 256 tumor cells may be important to regulate the ratio adenine nucleotides/adenine nucleoside extracellularly, therefore motivating tumor growth.

Enhanced NTPDase and 5'-nucleotidase activities in diabetes mellitus and iron-overload model.

The activity of the enzymes NTPDase and 5'-nucleotidase was studied in both diabetes mellitus and an associated model of iron-overload. Rats were divided in five groups: citrate (CC), saline (S), diabetic (D), iron-overload (IO), and diabetic iron-overload (DIO). Diabetes was induced with alloxan (150 mg/kg), and iron-overload was induced with iron-dextran (10 intramuscular applications of +/-80 mg/kg). The enzymatic activities were evaluated in the platelets. The results demonstrated an increase in the activity of NTPDase with substrates ATP and ADP (60% and 120%, respectively; P<0.001), and 5'-nucleotidase (60%, P<0.001). This increase was more intense in the IO and DIO groups. The results obtained in vitro showed an activation in ATP, ADP, and AMP hydrolysis between 1 microM and 1,000 microM ferric nitrate concentrations, being more pronounced at 100 microM and decreasing at 1,000 microM. We concluded that diabetes mellitus in association with iron-overload increased the hydrolysis of adenine nucleotides in platelets, contributing to the abnormalities found in these pathological conditions.
