Effect of Sialic Acid Loss on Dendritic Cell Maturation

[dontpt47863]

<br> Neuraminidases and other reagents were obtained from Sigma-Aldrich. To determine whether sialic acids play a role in endothelial barrier function, cells were treated with neuraminidases to hydrolyze sialic acid moieties. Two components of glycocalyx structure that may play a role in determining function in glycoproteins are 1) the terminal sugar residue(s) on the oligosaccharide chain(s) and 2) the amino acid residue attachment site (N- vs. When we measured transendothelial resistance, differential responses of pulmonary artery and microvascular endothelial cells to neuraminidase from Clostridium perfringens suggest that the molecular architecture of the sialic acid glycomes differs between these two cell types. Sialic acids contribute significantly to the overall negative charge of glycoconjugates and cell surfaces (32). This negative charge contributes to the formation of a protective electrostatic shield, which has been shown to be important for antiadhesive repulsion between circulating cells and vessel walls (13, 27), as well as protection of parts of a tethered glycoprotein from proteolytic attack (33). Indeed, Görög and colleagues (8) determined that surface sialic acids provide protection of an intact endothelium against proteolysis. First, within 2 h of either neuraminidase treatment, the α(2,6)-linked sialic acids in PAECs were hydrolyzed as evidenced by loss of FITC-tagged SNA fluorescence (Fig. 5A). Second, we observed overall disruption of the PAEC monolayer following treatment with either neuraminidase although there were characteristic differences in what the resultant disrupted monolayer looked like.<br>
<br> First, we demonstrate using coinfection experiments and luciferase reporter analysis that AAV1 and AAV6 compete for similar receptors. It also provides accurate information and cutting-edge analysis that is necessary to formulate an ideal business plan, and to define the right path for rapid growth for all involved industry players. After completion of the second Kf, venous pressure was returned to baseline for 5 min, and the lower right lobe was immersion fixed in buffered formalin. The α(2,6)-linked sialic acid (right) reflects the number 2 position of sialic acid bound to the number 6 position of the adjoining carbohydrate residue. D: α(2,3)-linked sialic acid (left) reflects the number 2 position of sialic acid bound to the number 3 position of the adjoining carbohydrate residue (galactose). Following a thoracotomy, a PE240 plastic cannula was placed and secured in the pulmonary artery and the left atrium.

The phrase “substantially identical,” in the context of two nucleic acids or polypeptides, refers to two or more sequences or subsequences that have at least 60%, preferably 80% or 85%, most preferably at least 90%, 91%, 92%, 93%, 94%, 95%, 96%, 97%, 98%, or 99% nucleotide or amino acid residu identity, when compared and aligned for maximum correspondence, as measured using one of the following sequence comparison algorithms or by visual inspection.<br>
<br> Cells were washed twice with PBS, scraped, resuspended in 10 ml PBS, and divided into two aliquots (∼4 × 106 cells). It is anticipated that human airway epithelial cells, the target cells for the treatment of cystic fibrosis, can be efficiently transduced by AAV1 and AAV6 vectors. Cos-7 (A) and Pro-5 (B) cells were incubated in the presence or absence of 200 μg/ml proteinase K for 1 h at 37°C. The cells were transduced at an MOI of 1 × 103 for 1 h with AAV1-luc, AAV-6-luc, AAV2-luc, or AAV5-luc, respectively. Resialylated Lec-2 cells were then transduced (MOI, 1,000) with either AAV1-luc or AAV6-luc (A), AAV4-luc (B), or AAV2-luc (C), and luciferase expression was measured 24 h posttransduction. We observed that, although pulmonary microvascular endothelial cells express similar amounts of total sialic acids as pulmonary artery endothelial cells, the nature of the sialic acid linkages differs between the two cell types such that pulmonary artery endothelial cells express both α(2,3)- and α(2,6)-linked sialic acids on the surface (i.e., surficially), whereas microvascular endothelial cells principally express α(2,3)-linked sialic acids. AAV1 and AAV6 are two closely related AAV serotypes.<br>
<br> “conservative amino acid substitutions,” in one or a few amino acids in an amino acid sequence are substituted with different amino acids with highly similar properties are also readily identified as being highly similar to a particular amino acid sequence, or to a particular nucleic acid sequence which encodes an amino acid. Or multiple proteins can be encoded by nucleic acids with individual promoters and ribosome binding sites. Finally, we demonstrate the contribution of terminal sialic acids to endothelial barrier integrity. In the present study we analysed the consequences of reduced sialylation, in human DCs, to evaluate its contribution to the triggering of cell maturation. Statistical differences were analysed using Student’s t-test or one-way analysis of variance at 95% confidence level, as appropriate. The percentage of cells with translocation of the NF-κB to the nucleus was determined through the analysis of at least 600 cells in each condition. At this point we knew that neuraminidase from Vibrio cholerae actively cleaves at least α(2,6)-linked terminal sialic acids.<br>
