Abstract

A simple balance exists between factors that promote ulcer disease (e.g., acid and pepsin secretion) and factors that protect the stomach from ulcer disease (e.g., mucosal defense mechanisms). These factors are regulated and control the integrity of the gastric mucosa. Some of the newest discoveries in the area of regulation of acid secretion are related to the cellular localization of physiologically relevant receptors for acid secretagogues and acid inhibitors. The ability to isolate and culture histamine-containing ECL cells and somatostatin-containing "D" cells, and the ability to clone genes encoding for specific receptors has greatly enhanced our understanding of the physiological role and the regulation of various cell types within the gastric mucosa.

Robust phosphoproteomic profiling of tyrosine phosphorylation sites from human T cells using immobilized metal affinity chromatography and tandem mass spectrometry.

Protein tyrosine phosphorylation cascades are difficult to analyze and are critical for cell signaling in higher eukaryotes. Methodology for profiling tyrosine phosphorylation, considered herein as the assignment of multiple protein tyrosine phosphorylation sites in single analyses, was reported recently (Salomon, A. R.; Ficarro, S. B.; Brill, L. M.; Brinker, A.; Phung, Q. T.; Ericson, C.; Sauer, K.; Brock, A.; Horn, D. M.; Schultz, P. G.; Peters, E. C. Proc. Natl. Acad. Sci. U.S.A. 2003, 100, 443-448). The technology platform included the use of immunoprecipitation, immobilized metal affinity chromatography (IMAC), liquid chromatography, and tandem mass spectrometry. In the present report, we show that when using complex mixtures of peptides from human cells, methylation improved the selectivity of IMAC for phosphopeptides and eliminated the acidic bias that occurred with unmethylated peptides. The IMAC procedure was significantly improved by desalting methylated peptides, followed by gradient elution of the peptides to a larger IMAC column. These improvements resulted in assignment of approximately 3-fold more tyrosine phosphorylation sites, from human cell lysates, than the previous methodology. Nearly 70 tyrosine-phosphorylated peptides from proteins in human T cells were assigned in single analyses. These proteins had unknown functions or were associated with a plethora of fundamental cellular processes. This robust technology platform should be broadly applicable to profiling the dynamics of tyrosine phosphorylation.

Determination of protein carbonyl groups by immunoblotting.

Free radical-mediated oxidation of proteins results in the formation of carbonyl groups in quantities that reflect the intensity of the oxidative stress. We have developed an immunochemical technique for the quantification of carbonyl groups in protein samples prepared from small tissue samples and cell cultures. Protein samples were slot-blotted onto a polyvinylidene difluoride membrane, which was sequentially treated with 2,4-dinitrophenylhydrazine (DNPH), a primary antibody specific for the 2,4-dinitrophenol group, and a peroxidase-labeled second antibody. After the blots were developed with a chemiluminescent substrate and exposed to X-ray film, the level of immunostaining was quantitated by densitometry. Using oxidized bovine serum albumin as a standard and loading 5 microg of protein per slot, the minimum detectable carbonyl content was approximately 60 pmol carbonyl/mg protein. When necessary, nonspecific staining by noncarbonyl constituents in complex sample matrices was accounted for by using sodium borohydride-treated blanks. Results by the new method were highly correlated (r = 0.932, P < 0.0001) with those of the standard DNPH-based spectrophotometric technique. The coefficient of variation at a carbonyl level of 1.5 nmol/mg protein was 9.7%. The utility of this new method was demonstrated by measuring protein oxidation in cultured human colon cells (SW620) that were briefly exposed to H2O2.

Alloreactivity as a source of high avidity peptide-specific human CTL.

PBL from HLA-A2- or HLA-A3- donors were stimulated with synthetic peptide libraries fitting HLA-A2 or HLA-A3 motifs and presented on HLA-A2- or HLA-A3-expressing TAP- cells. Peptide library-specific allorestricted CTL were found to constitute up to half the alloreactive CTL response and occurred at twofold lower frequency than autologous peptide library-specific CTL. This indicates that positive selection by one particular MHC class I molecule is not absolutely essential for the generation of CTL restricted to the same molecule. However, positive selection increases their frequency. The CTL obtained differed greatly both with respect to peptide dependency and peptide specificity. Determination of the peptide avidity for one representative CTL clone, 10F4, proved that the method described here allows the stimulation of high avidity cytotoxic T cells. This approach involving in vitro stimulation of T cells restricted toward a MHC molecule that was not present during their negative selection might therefore offer the possibility of isolating CTL against self and foreign peptides with varying avidities. Such T cells might indeed be useful for tumor immunotherapy.
