Abstract

A two-stage long-term bone marrow culture (LTBMC) has been used to assess haemopoietic supporting ability from patients following allogeneic bone marrow transplantation (BMT). Irradiated confluent LTBMCs derived from recipients following BMT were recharged with flow cytometry sorted CD34+/CD38- cells from normal BM donors. The output of granulocyte/macrophage colony-forming cells (GM-CFC) in the non-adherent fraction of the cultures was monitored weekly until output ceased. Patient stromal cell function was determined by comparing the percentage of the total cumulative GM-CFC output to the output from normal control stroma. Neutrophil recovery was rapid and complete early in the post-transplant period. However, in contrast, GM-CFC recovery was significantly reduced in all patients up to 5 years after BMT. In 58% of patients studied following BMT the BM stroma is considerably compromised in its ability to support early uncommitted haemopoietic cells contained within the CD34+/CD38- cell fraction of normal BM. Bone marrow stroma from BMT recipients exhibited severe deficits in their abilities to support primitive haemopoietic cells and in some patients this effect lasted for several years. While the growth of stroma from patients following BMT was severely delayed and often incomplete, characterisation of cells types using APAAP techniques did not show significant differences in proportion when compared with normal cultures.(ABSTRACT TRUNCATED AT 250 WORDS)

Identification and functional characterization of the hepatic stellate cell CD38 cell surface molecule.

The activation of hepatic stellate cells (HSCs) is a critical event in hepatic fibrosis, because these cells are the main producers of extracellular matrix proteins in the liver and contribute to the modulation of inflammatory responses via the secretion of several cytokines and the expression of adhesion molecules. The goal of the present study was to characterize cell surface proteins that regulate HSC activation. To this end, a panel of monoclonal antibodies (mAbs) was generated. mAb 14.27 recognized a protein of 45 kd that was highly expressed on HSCs. Affinity purification of this protein followed by sequencing revealed that protein to be CD38. We subsequently demonstrated that CD38 was constitutively expressed by HSCs and that its expression increased after in vitro and in vivo activation. mAb 14.27 induced an increase in cytosolic Ca2+ levels in HSCs, showing that it functions as an agonistic antibody. Moreover, the effects mediated by the CD38 mAb included induction of the proinflammatory cytokine interleukin-6 and up-regulation of the adhesion molecules intercellular adhesion molecule-1, vascular cell adhesion molecule-1, and neural cell adhesion molecule. Collectively, our data suggest that CD38 can act as a regulator of HSC activation and effector functions.

Discovery of a small-molecule inhibitor for kidney ADP-ribosyl cyclase: Implication for intracellular calcium signal mediated by cyclic ADP-ribose.

ADP-ribosyl cyclase (ADPR-cyclase) produces a Ca2+-mobilizing second messenger, cyclic ADP- ribose (cADPR), from beta-NAD+. A prototype of mammalian ADPR-cyclases is a lymphocyte antigen CD38. Accumulating evidence indicates that ADPR-cyclases other than CD38 are expressed in various cells and organs. In this study, we discovered a small molecule inhibitor of kidney ADPR-cyclase. This compound inhibited kidney ADPR-cyclase activity but not CD38, spleen, heart or brain ADPR-cyclase activity in vitro. Characterization of the compound in a cell-based system revealed that an extracellular calcium-sensing receptor (CaSR)- mediated cADPR production and a later long-lasting increase in intracellular Ca2+ concentration ([Ca2+]i) in mouse mesangial cells were inhibited by the pre-treatment with this compound. In contrast, the compound did not block CD3/TCR-induced cADPR production and the increase of [Ca2+]i in Jurkat T cells, which express CD38 exclusively. The long-lasting Ca2+ signal generated by both receptors was inhibited by pre-treatment with an antagonistic cADPR derivative, 8-Br-cADPR, indicating that the Ca2+ signal is mediated by the ADPR-cyclase metabolite, cADPR. Moreover, among structurally similar compounds tested, the compound inhibited most potently the cADPR production and Ca2+ signal induced by CaSR. These findings provide evidence for existence of a distinct ADPR-cyclase in the kidney and basis for the development of tissue specific inhibitors.

Overexpression of human CD38/ADP-ribosyl cyclase enhances acetylcholine-induced Ca2+ signalling in rodent NG108-15 neuroblastoma cells.

The role of cyclic ADP-ribose (cADPR) and its synthetic enzyme, CD38, as a downstream signal of muscarinic acetylcholine receptors (mAChRs) was examined in neuroblastoma cells expressing M1 mAChRs (NGM1). NGM1 cells were further transformed with both wild-type and mutant (C119K/C201E) human CD38. The dual transformed cells exhibited higher cADPR formation than ADPR production and elevated intracellular free Ca(2+) concentrations ([Ca(2+)](i)) in response to ACh. These phenotypes were analyzed in detail in a representative CD38 clone. The intracellular cADPR concentration by ACh application was significantly increased by CD38 overexpression. Digital image analysis by a confocal microscopy revealed that topographical distribution of the sites of Ca(2+) release was unchanged between control and overexpressed cells. These results indicate that cADPR is an intracellular messenger of Ca(2+) signalling, suggesting that CD38 can contribute to mAChR-cADPR signalling.
