Abstract
Cyclooxygenase (COX) and lipoxygenase (LOX) are key enzymes of arachidonic acid metabolism. Their products, prostaglandins and leukotrienes, are involved in the pathogenesis of inflammatory bowel diseases and colorectal cancer. The aim of the study was to examine the influence of inositol hexaphosphate (IP6), a naturally occurring phytochemical, on the expression of genes encoding COX and LOX isoforms and synthesis of their products (PGE2 and LTB4) in colon cancer cell line Caco-2 stimulated with pro-inflammatory agents (IL-1β/TNFα). Real-time RT-qPCR was used to validate mRNAs level of examined genes. The concentrations of COX-2 and 5-LOX proteins as well as PGE2 and LTB4 were determined by the ELISA method. Based on these studies it may be concluded that IP6 may limit inflammatory events in the colonic epithelium and prevent colon carcinomas by modulating the expression of genes encoding COX and LOX isoforms at both mRNA and protein levels as well as by affecting the synthesis and secretion of prostaglandins and leukotrienes.

Prepartum body condition score and plane of nutrition affect the hepatic transcriptome during the transition period in grazing dairy cows. BMC Genomics 2016; 17:854. [PMID: 27806685 PMCID: PMC5093966 DOI: 10.1186/s12864-016-3191-3] [Citation(s) in RCA: 11] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.4] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 06/08/2016] [Accepted: 10/22/2016] [Indexed: 11/10/2022] Open
Abstract
Background A transcriptomic approach was used to evaluate potential interactions between prepartum body condition score (BCS) and feeding management in the weeks before calving on hepatic metabolism during the periparturient period. Methods Thirty-two mid-lactation grazing dairy cows of mixed age and breed were randomly allocated to one of four treatment groups in a 2 × 2 factorial arrangement: two prepartum BCS categories [4.0 (thin, BCS4) and 5.0 (optimal, BCS5); based on a 10-point scale], and two levels of energy intake during the 3 weeks preceding calving (75 and 125 % of estimated requirements). Liver samples were obtained at −7, 7, and 28 d relative to parturition and subsequent RNA was hybridized to the Agilent 44 K Bovine (V2) Microarray chip. The Dynamic Impact Approach was used for pathway analysis, and Ingenuity Pathway Analysis was used for gene network analysis. Results The greater number of differentially expressed genes in BCS4 cows in response to prepartum feed allowance (1071 vs 310, over the entire transition period) indicates that these animals were more responsive to prepartum nutrition management than optimally-conditioned cows. However, independent of prepartum BCS, pathway analysis revealed that prepartal feeding level had a marked effect on carbohydrate, amino acid, lipid, and glycan metabolism. Altered carbohydrate and amino acid metabolism suggest a greater and more prolonged negative energy balance postpartum in BCS5 cows overfed prepartum. This is supported by opposite effects of prepartum feeding in BCS4 compared with BCS5 cows in pathways encompassing amino acid, vitamin, and co-factor metabolism. The prepartum feed restriction ameliorates the metabolic adaptation to the onset of lactation in BCS5 cows, while detrimentally affecting BCS4 cows, which seem to better adapt when overfed. Alterations in the glycosaminoglycans synthesis pathway support this idea, indicating better hepatic health status in feed-restricted BCS5 and overfed BCS4 cows. Furthermore, IPA network analysis suggests liver damage in feed-restricted thin cows, likely due to metabolic overload. Conclusion Overall, the data support the hypothesis that overfeeding in late-pregnancy should be limited to underconditioned cows, while cows with optimal degree of body condition should be maintained on an energy-restricted diet.

Abstract
Distant metastasis account for about 90 % of cancer associated deaths, and yet the oncology field is cruelly lacking tools to accurately predict and/or prevent metastasis. Distant metastasis occurs when circulating tumor cells interact with the endothelium of distant organs and extravasate from the blood vessel into the surrounding tissue. Selectins are a family of carbohydrate receptors well depicted for their role in tumor cells extravasation. They mediate primary interactions of cancer cells with endothelial cells, as well as secondary interactions with leucocytes and platelets, which are also promoting metastasis. The cancer associated carbohydrate antigen sialyl-Lewis x (sLe(x)) has been repeatedly shown to be involved, as selectin ligand, in these interactions. However, recent studies have highlighted that glycosaminoglycans (GAGs), another class of glycans, may also serve as ligands for selectins. We report herein that cancer-associated GAGs are differentially recognized by selectins according to their density of sulfation and the pH conditions of the binding. We also show that these parameters regulate platelets-cancer cells heterotypic aggregation, supporting the idea that GAGs may have pro-metastatic function. Combining our experimental results with in depth analyses of molecular dockings, we propose a model of GAG/selectin interactions robust enough to recapitulate the differential binding of selectins to GAGs, the competition between GAGs and sLe(x) for selectin binding and the effect of sub-physiological pH on GAGs affinities towards selectins. Altogether, our data suggest GAGs to be good ligands for selectins, potentially promoting distant metastasis in a complementary way to sLe(x).

Abstract
Phytic acid (PA), a major fiber-associated component of wheat bran and legumes, is physiologically present in the human large gut. The aim of this study was to examine the role of PA in immunologic function of intestinal epithelial cells by analyzing its effect on interleukin (IL)-8 and IL-6 secretion by colonocytes and its role in the response of these cells to bacterial lipopolysaccharides (LPS) and IL-1beta. The human colon cell line Caco-2 was exposed to LPS isolated from two strains of Desulfovibrio desulfuricans, wild intestinal and type soil strains, as well as to LPS from E. coli. Cells were also treated with IL-1beta and with a combination of LPS and IL-1beta. PA had a suppressive effect on IL-8 basal release and it dose dependently reduced IL-8 secretion by colonocytes stimulated with LPS and IL-1beta. On the contrary, PA increased constitutive IL-6 secretion and exhibited differentiated effects on LPS responsiveness of cells depending on its concentration and LPS origin. PA was also an efficient down-regulator of IL-6 secretion stimulated by binary actions of LPS and IL-1beta. The ability of PA to modulate IL-8 and IL-6 release suggests that PA present in the intestinal milieu may exert immunoregulatory effects on colonic epithelium under physiological conditions or during microbe-induced infection/inflammation in order to maintain the colonic mucosa in a noninflammatory state or to counteract infection.

Abstract
Leukocytes may be important in the development of intimal hyperplasia, but little is known about the participation of sulfatides (3-sulfated galactosyl ceramides) which are native ligands of L- and P-selectin. This study was designed to determine whether sulfatides affect the development of intimal hyperplasia. ICR mice were randomized to receive vehicle or sulfatides intravenously either at 1, 3, or 10 mg/kg/day for 7 days, or at 10 mg/kg/day for 1, 3, or 7 days. Endothelial damage was inflicted on the femoral artery via the photochemical reaction between rose bengal and green light. Scanning electron and light microscopic observations 3 days after the injury indicated that sulfatides-treated animals had more neutrophils adhering to the injury site than vehicle-treated controls. At 21 days, sulfatides-treated animals had a greater neointimal area than controls. In in vitro studies, sulfatides (i) increased cytosolic free calcium in mouse neutrophils, (ii) caused increases in expression of Mac-1 (CD 11 b/CD 18) on the neutrophil membrane surface in mouse whole blood. These findings suggest that neutrophil accumulation on the subendothelial matrix or adherence of platelets mediated by adhesive interactions between L- or P-selectin and sulfatides may contribute to the development of intimal hyperplasia. The neutrophil accumulation may be mediated by an increase in Mac-1 caused by the agonistic effects of sulfatides on the neutrophil membrane surface, or by an increase in L- and P-selectin ligands resulting from the binding of sulfatides onto the exposed subendothelial matrix.

Abstract
The role of leukocytes in the pathogenesis of coronary arterial disease has become a focus for clinical research. The aim of this study was to determine whether neutrophil accumulation would participate in the development of intimal hyperplasia after endothelial injury in mice, and whether d-myo-inositol hexakisphosphate (phytic acid) which inhibits the binding of L- and P-selectin to sialyl Lewis(X) could inhibit the development of intimal hyperplasia. Endothelial injury was inflicted in one femoral artery via the photochemical reaction between systemically injected rose bengal and transillumination with green light (wavelength: 540 nm). Scanning electron microscopic observation at 3 days after the injury showed an increase in the number of leukocytes adhering to the injury site. Histological observation at 21 days showed that in the neutropenia group administered anti-neutrophil antibody and in the phytic acid-treated group the progression of intimal hyperplasia was significantly attenuated by comparison with the corresponding control groups. These results suggest that neutrophil accumulation contributes to the initiation and/or development of intimal hyperplasia and L- and/or P-selectin may participate in their mechanisms.

Abstract
P-selectin, a carbohydrate-binding cell adhesion molecule expressed on activated endothelial cells and platelets, plays a key role in the recruitment of leukocytes to inflammatory and hemorrhagic sites. It simultaneously recognizes a sialic acid-containing carbohydrate chain and the sulfated tyrosine residues of a specific counter-receptor expressed on the leukocyte surface. We examined the inhibitory effects of a synthetic sulfated derivative of sialic acid (NMSO3) on P-selectin-mediated cell adhesion and found the following: (1) P-selectin/IgG chimera bound to immobilized NMSO3. (2) The binding of P-selectin/IgG chimera to purified P-selectin glycoprotein ligand-1 was inhibited by soluble NMSO3. (3) The adhesion of HL60 cells to P-selectin-expressing CHO cells was inhibited by NMSO3. (4) NMSO3 inhibited P-selectin-induced tumor necrosis factor-alpha production in monocytes and activated platelet-induced generation of reactive oxygen species in neutrophils. In conclusion, NMSO3 acts as a specific inhibitor for P-selectin-mediated cell adhesion and for adhesion-dependent leukocyte activation.

Abstract
Chronic bronchitis is a significant cause of morbidity and mortality. Chronic irritation of the conducting airways by inhaled substances, most importantly cigarette smoke, air pollution, and occupational exposures, is thought to be a key factor in the pathogenesis of chronic bronchitis. Microbial infections have been implicated in acute exacerbations of bronchitis and in its progression. Several animal models of chronic bronchitis have been developed. This review examines similarities and dissimilarities among commonly used animal models of bronchitis and the human disease. The most commonly used animal models of chronic bronchitis are those employing SO2, tobacco smoke, lipopolysaccharide (endotoxin), proteases, and secretagogues. Bronchiolitis induced by nickel and nitric acid have also been reported. Rats, hamsters, and dogs are the species most frequently used; sheep and monkeys have been used less frequently. These models vary in the extent or location of mucous-cell hyperplasia and metaplasia, airway inflammation, chronicity, ease of induction, and reproducibility. Frequently, the deficiencies in these models are attributable to anatomic differences between human and animal airways, differences in the severity or chronicity of inflammation or fibrosis, or lack of complete characterization of the responses and their time course in the animal model. These animal models may be useful for investigating how, and under what exposure conditions, ambient pollutants might exacerbate airway inflammation, mucus hypersecretion, and airflow limitation.

Abstract
P-selectin blocking potency was investigated using synthetic monomeric and polymeric anionic compounds containing sulfate groups such as O-sulfotyrosine (sTyr) and/or sulfated Lewis structures. A non-carbohydrate-containing polyacrylamide conjugate sTyr-PAA (80% mol of sTyr) was a remarkably potent inhibitor of P-selectin binding in vitro, having an IC(50) value of 6 ng/mL (equivalent to 10 nM calculated on the basis of sTyr residues or 0.1 nM calculated by the mass of the macromolecule). The inhibitory effect of sTyr-PAA (80%) towards P-selectin is significantly greater than that of fucoidan (IC(50), 100 ng/mL). However, sTyr-PAA (80%) was less effective than fucoidan at reducing neutrophil extravasation in an in vivo rat model of peritonitis.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE Previous studies have suggested reductions in lung reperfusion injury when initial reperfusion is undertaken with the addition of pharmacological modulators. We investigated three pharmacological agents in a porcine model of left single lung transplantation to determine the effect on lung compliance and its relationship with the expression of the cytokine, interleukin-8 (IL-8). METHODS Donor lungs were preserved with modified Euro-Collins for a mean ischaemic time of 18.6 h. Pulmonary venous oxygenation, lung compliance and IL-8 expression were assessed over a 12-h period. Group A (n=5) was a control group with no interventions added, Group B was reperfused with the addition of intravenous inositol hexakisphosphate (InSP6) (0.02 mg/kg per min), Group C received the nitric oxide donor, 3-morpholinosydnonimine (SIN-1) (0.02 mg/kg per min) and Group D received intravenous Pentoxifylline (2 mg/kg per h). All interventions were administered at a pulmonary artery pressure of 20 mmHg. RESULTS Group D yielded the best oxygenation (P=0.0041) while Groups B and C were similar. All were superior to Group A (P<0.001). Lung compliance was significantly improved in Groups B, C and D compared to group A. In Group D, the greatest improvements in lung compliance were observed (P<0.0001). Similar observations were seen with regard to pulmonary vascular resistance. IL-8 expression was delayed until after 30 min of reperfusion in Group D, but was evident after 10 min in all the other groups. This correlates with the compliance and oxygenation data. CONCLUSIONS The addition of InSP6 or SIN-1 at reperfusion significantly attenuates reperfusion injury compared with controls and improves lung compliance. The unique comparison with Pentoxifylline afforded by this study indicates that at the doses studied Pentoxifylline appears to be superior, correlating with a greater inhibition of IL-8 expression.

Abstract
E-selectin ligand Sialyl-Lewis a (SA-Le(a)) carbohydrate is expressed on many carcinomas. Peptide mimicking SA-Le(a) (DLWDWVVGKPAG) was previously selected from a recombinant library by screening with monoclonal antibody (MAb) NS19-9. In this study, the residues critical for interaction with the NS19-9 were mapped using peptide array generated by substitution of various amino acid residues. The replacement of Trp 5 with Phe resulted in a change of peptide's secondary structure and increased binding with MAb and E-selectin, suggesting improved carbohydrate mimicry. Colonization of tumor cells expressing SA-Le(a) was blocked by the peptide and was completely abolished in E-selectin knock out mice. The data suggest the critical role of carbohydrate antigens and E-selectin in metastasis and that peptides mimicking carbohydrate antigens can function as antagonists of this process.

STUDY OBJECTIVE T-lymphocytic alveolitis and increased levels of interleukin-2 receptor-alpha (CD25)-bearing T cells in the BAL fluid (BALF) of human T-cell lymphotropic virus type 1 (HTLV-1) carriers have been reported. Several chemokines and adhesion molecules may contribute to the accumulation of T lymphocytes in the lungs of HTLV-1 carriers. To clarify the correlation between adhesion molecules and HTLV-1-associated pulmonary disorders, we compared the distribution of T-lymphocyte subsets and soluble adhesion molecules, including soluble intercellular adhesion molecule (sICAM)-1, soluble vascular cell adhesion molecule-1 (sVCAM-1), soluble L-selectin (sL-selectin), soluble E-selectin (sE-selectin), and soluble P-selectin (sP-selectin), in BALF and peripheral blood, between HTLV-1 carriers and noninfected healthy subjects. DESIGN Flow cytometric analysis with monoclonal antibodies to cell-surface antigens was used to identify T-lymphocyte subsets in BALF samples from HTLV-1 carriers (n = 13) and noninfected healthy control subjects (n = 10). The levels of various soluble adhesion molecules in serum and in BALF were estimated by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay. RESULTS Higher percentages of CD3+ cells, CD3-expressing human leukocyte antigen-DR antigen, and CD3+CD25+ cells were detected in the BALF of HTLV-1 carriers than in that of noninfected control subjects. The concentrations of sICAM-1, sVCAM-1, sL-selectin, SE- selectin, and sP-selectin in the sera of patients were significantly higher than those in noninfected healthy control subjects. The concentration of sICAM-1 in the BALF of patients was significantly higher than that in noninfected healthy control subjects, and the concentration of sICAM-1 correlated well with the percentage of CD3+CD25+ cells. CONCLUSION The concentrations of adhesion molecules in the sera of and sICAM-1 in the BALF of HTLV-1 carriers were significantly higher than those in noninfected individuals, and the concentration of sICAM-1 correlated well with the percentage of CD3+CD25+ cells in BALF. Our results suggest a possible interaction between activated T cells bearing CD25 and soluble adhesion molecules, especially sICAM-1, which may contribute to the pulmonary involvement in HTLV-1 carriers.

Abstract
A sensitive method for the accurate determination of phytic acid in food samples is described. The proposed procedure involves the anion-exchange liquid chromatography with conductivity detection. Initially, two methods of determination of phytic acid were compared: absorptiometry and high-performance ion chromatography (HPIC) with chemically suppressed conductivity detector. Unlike most conventional methods involving precipitation by FeCl3, the simpler and more reliable HPIC assay avoids the numerous assumptions inherent in the iron precipitation and the accuracy is independent of the phytate content. The protocol was also applied to a survey of phytic acid concentration in some cereal, oil and legume seeds.

Abstract
Peptides mimicking carbohydrate structure sialyl-Lewis a (SA-Le(a)) have been selected from a diverse dodecapeptide library using monoclonal antibody (MAb) NS19-9. Families of peptides with a consensus sequence consisting of three to nine amino acids and peptides that do not show a conserved core amino acid region were identified. Peptide DLWDWVVGKPAG was selected based on the consensus sequence DXXDXXVG shared with other peptides and strong binding in Western blot. Peptide competes with antibody binding to its native carbohydrate antigen, SA-Le(a), at 50% inhibitory concentration (IC(50)), 700 microM, implying that it represents a structural mimic of the carbohydrate epitope recognized by MAb. Statistically significant reduction of neutrophil recruitment into the intraperitoneal cavity was observed upon administration of this peptide in a murine acute inflammation model in vivo. Results suggest that the peptide mimic of SA-Le(a) carbohydrate might bind to E-selectin and block its interaction with another ligand, sialyl-Lewis X (SA-LeX), expressed on neutrophils.

Abstract
P-selectin glycoprotein ligand-1 (PSGL-1) is a dimeric membrane mucin on leukocytes that binds selectins. The molecular features of PSGL-1 that determine this high affinity binding are unclear. Here we demonstrate the in vitro synthesis of a novel glycosulfopeptide (GSP-6) modeled after the extreme N terminus of PSGL-1, which has been predicted to be important for P-selectin binding. GSP-6 contains three tyrosine sulfate (TyrSO(3)) residues and a monosialylated, core 2-based O-glycan with a sialyl Lewis x (C2-O-sLe(x)) motif at a specific Thr residue. GSP-6 binds tightly to immobilized P-selectin, whereas glycopeptides lacking either TyrSO(3) or C2-O-sLe(x) do not detectably bind. Remarkably, an isomeric glycosulfopeptide to GSP-6, termed GSP-6', which contains sLe(x) on an extended core 1-based O-glycan, does not bind immobilized P-selectin. Equilibrium gel filtration analysis revealed that GSP-6 binds to soluble P-selectin with a K(d) of approximately 350 nM. GSP-6 (<5 microM) substantially inhibits neutrophil adhesion to P-selectin in vitro, whereas free sLe(x) (5 mM) only slightly inhibits adhesion. In contrast to the inherent heterogeneity of post-translational modifications of recombinant proteins, glycosulfopeptides permit the placement of sulfate groups and glycans of precise structure at defined positions on a polypeptide. This approach should expedite the probing of structure-function relationships in sulfated and glycosylated proteins, and may facilitate development of novel drugs to treat inflammatory diseases involving P-selectin-mediated leukocyte adhesion.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE Previous studies have suggested reductions in lung reperfusion injury with pentoxifylline, inositol polyanions, and the nitric oxide donor, SIN-1, but these agents have never been directly compared to ascertain which is superior. We investigated these agents in a porcine model of left single lung transplantation. METHODS Donor lungs were preserved with modified Euro-Collins solution for a mean ischemic time of 18.4 hours. Neutrophil trapping in the graft, pulmonary vascular resistance, free radical release (measured by malonaldehyde levels) and gas exchange were assessed over a 12-hour period. All groups were reperfused at an initial pulmonary artery pressure of 20 mm Hg. Group A (n = 5) was a control group with no interventions added; group B was reperfused with the addition of intravenous inositol polyanions (0.02 mg/kg/h), and group C was reperfused with intravenous SIN-1 (0.02 mg/kg/h). Group D was reperfused with the addition of intravenous pentoxifylline (2 mg/kg/h). RESULTS Neutrophil sequestration was observed within 10 minutes of reperfusion in group A. This was attenuated significantly by interventions in groups B, C, and D. In group D, malonaldehyde levels were significantly lower than in other groups and was associated with superior oxygenation. Pulmonary vascular resistance was reduced in groups B, C, and D compared with group A. CONCLUSIONS Pentoxifylline, when administered only to recipient animals was superior to the other interventions studied. Inositol polyanions are promising as a possible therapeutic intervention but were not as effective as the other agents studied.

Abstract
The comb-type copolymers consisting of a polyacrylamide (PAAm) backbone and poly(L-lysine) (PLL) graft chains have been prepared as the "prepolymer" for designing multivalent ligands. To regulate the length and density of the clusters of primary amino groups, the Nalpha-carboxyanhydride of Nepsilon-carbobenzoxy (CBZ)-L-lysine was first polymerized using p-vinylbenzylamine as an initiator. The resulting poly(CBZ-L-lysine) macromonomer was then radically copolymerized with AAm, followed by the deprotection of amino groups. For the model study, the reactive clusters of primary amino groups were completely converted into anion clusters by the reaction with succinic anhydride. The model multivalent ligands having the biotin label on the PAAm backbone were prepared by the terpolymerization of the macromonomer, AAm, and the biotin derivative having a vinyl group. The enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay showed that the biotin with no spacer on the PAAm backbone was recognized by the avidin-peroxidase conjugate specifically. Therefore, the highly sensitive detection of the interaction between cells and various model multivalent ligands was possible. The selective labeling onto the PAAm backbone revealed that the converted anion clusters of graft chains interacted exclusively with the cell and that the backbone was inert to the interaction with the cell. These results indicate that the various PAAm-graft-PLL comb-type copolymers with the defined length and density of the PLL-grafts are the potential prepolymers to investigate and to optimize the affinity of the multivalent ligands for receptors.

Abstract
It has previously been shown that myo-inositol hexakisphosphate (myo-InsP6) mediates iron transport into Pseudomonas aeruginosa and overcomes iron-dependent growth inhibition. In this study, the iron transport properties of myo-inositol trisphosphate and tetrakisphosphate regio-isomers were studied. Pseudomonas aeruginosa accumulated iron (III) at similar rates whether complexed with myo-Ins(1,2,3)P3 or myo-InsP6. Iron accumulation from other compounds, notably D/L myo-Ins(1,2,4,5)P4 and another inositol trisphosphate regio-isomer, D-myo-Ins(1,4,5)P3, was dramatically increased. Iron transport profiles from myo-InsP6 into mutants lacking the outer membrane porins oprF, oprD and oprP were similar to the wild-type, indicating that these porins are not involved in the transport process. The rates of reduction of iron (III) to iron (II) complexed to any of the compounds by a Ps. aeruginosa cell lysate were similar, suggesting that a reductive mechanism is not the rate-determining step.

Abstract
Pentobarbital-anesthetized rats subjected to traumatic shock developed a shock state characterized by marked hypotension to 65-70 mmHg, a survival time of 88 +/- 13 min, significant increases in ileal myeloperoxidase activity (P < 0.01), and severe endothelial dysfunction as evidenced by a significant (P < 0.01) decrease in vasorelaxation to endothelium-dependent dilators. Treatment with heparinase III (45 microg . kg-1 . min-1) 10 min posttrauma prolonged survival time to 223 +/- 19 min (P < 0.001), significantly attenuated ileal myeloperoxidase activity (P < 0.01), and significantly preserved endothelial function (P < 0.05). Intravital microscopy of the rat mesentery showed that infusion of heparinase III (45-67 microg . kg-1 . min-1) significantly (P < 0.01) attenuated both leukocyte rolling and adherence in the rat mesenteric microvasculature in response to NG-nitro-L-arginine methyl ester stimulation. Immunohistochemical localization of surface-expressed P-selectin on mesenteric venules showed that heparinase III infusion at 45-67 microg . kg-1 . min-1 significantly (P < 0.05) attenuated the increase in surface P-selectin expression. The beneficial effects of heparinase III are mediated at least in part by attenuating leukocyte-endothelial cell interactions via a P-selectin-dependent mechanism.

Abstract
In this study, a novel scintillation proximity assay (SPA) that uses radiolabeled soluble neoglycoconjugates as synthetic alternatives to the natural E-, P-, and L-selectin counterligands was developed. The neoglycoconjugates contained sialyl LewisX or sialyl LewisA attached via a three-carbon spacer to a poly[N-(hydroxyethyl)acrylamide] backbone, thus presenting the carbohydrates in a multivalent form. Selectin-ZZ fusion proteins were immobilized on anti-rabbit IgG-coated SPA beads via a rabbit IgG bridge. The neoglycoconjugate ligands bound to all three bead-immobilized selectins, with the highest binding levels apparent with E-selectin. Saturation binding studies with E-selectin revealed a complex interaction indicative of two or more binding affinities. The response to carbohydrate inhibitors was comparable in E-selectin assays that used either the neoglycoconjugates or the tritium-labeled HL60 cells as selectin counterligands. The incorporation of tyrosine sulfate groups into the backbone of the neoglycoconjugate resulted in enhanced binding avidity to both P- and L-selectin, indicating that the sulfate-containing neoglycoconjugates are viable synthetic mimics of the natural P- and L-selectin counterligands. The use of these radiolabeled neoglycoconjugates in conjunction with SPA results in a format ideally suited for the high-throughput screening for selectin antagonists. Furthermore, this approach can potentially be used to measure other low-avidity lectin-carbohydrate interactions.

Abstract
We showed previously that HL-60 and F9 mouse embryonal carcinoma cells will take up and deblock peracetylated Galbeta1-4GlcNAcbeta-O-naphthalenemethanol (Galbeta1-4GlcNAc-NM) and use the disaccharide as a primer of oligosaccharide chains (Sarkar, A. K., Fritz, T. A., Taylor, W. H., and Esko, J. D. (1995) Proc. Natl. Acad. Sci. U. S. A. 92, 3323-3327). We now report that another disaccharide, acetylated GlcNAcbeta1-3Gal-naphthalenemethanol (GlcNAcbeta1-3Gal-NM), has even greater potency and that both compounds will inhibit sialyl LewisX (sLex)-dependent cell adhesion. When fed to U937 cells, acetylated forms of Galbeta1-4GlcNAc-NM and GlcNAcbeta1-3Gal-NM primed oligosaccharides in a dose-dependent manner. Analysis of compounds assembled on Galbeta1-4GlcNAc-NM showed only one product, namely Galbeta1-4(Fucalpha1-3)GlcNAc-NM. In contrast, GlcNAcbeta1-3Gal-NM generated Galbeta1-4GlcNAcbeta1-3Gal-NM, Galbeta1-4(Fucalpha1-3)GlcNAcbeta1-3Gal-NM, NeuAcalpha2-3Galbeta1-4GlcNAcbeta1-3Gal-NM, and NeuAcalpha2-3Galbeta1-4(Fucalpha1-3)GlcNAcbeta1- 3Gal-NM. Both compounds decreased the incorporation of [3H]fucose into cellular glycoconjugates, without affecting the incorporation of [3H]mannosamine, a precursor of sialic acid residues. Moreover, the overall extent of sialylation was not affected based on the reactivity of cells to fluorescein isothiocyanate-conjugated Maackia amurensis lectin. Priming inhibited expression of sLex on cell surface glycoconjugates, which reduced E-selectin-dependent cell adhesion to tumor necrosis factor-alpha-activated human umbilical vein endothelial cells. GlcNAcbeta1-3Gal-NM and Galbeta1-4GlcNAc-NM represent starting points for making enzyme-specific, site-directed inhibitors of glycosyltransferases that could act in living cells.

Abstract
Members of the selectin family of adhesion receptors, consisting of L-, P- and E-selectin, mediate the initial interaction between leukocytes and endothelium during leukocyte trafficking from the blood into tissue sites. These receptors have attracted great attention in recent years due to their participation in a number of acute and chronic inflammatory diseases. We describe here a new ELISA that measures the binding between selectin-IgG chimeras and a physiological ligand for L-selectin and can be used to screen selectin inhibitors. The ligand used is a mucin-like glycoprotein known as GlyCAM-1, which is derived from high endothelial venules in secondary lymphoid organs. We demonstrate binding of all three selectins to GlyCAM-1 and demonstrate that the binding interactions satisfy a number of important criteria. The advantage of this ELISA over previous assays is that a macromolecular physiological ligand is employed, rather than a fortuitous or simplified carbohydrate ligand. Thus, the protein-carbohydrate interactions, as well as other interactions contributing to ligand recognition, can be investigated. The assay is suitable for high-throughout screening of compounds and may find use in the identification of selectin antagonists with anti-inflammatory potential.

Abstract
P-selectin is rapidly translocated to the surface of endothelial cells and platelets following exposure to chemical mediators such as histamine, thrombin and complement factors. The Arthus reaction is caused by vascular injury which is initiated by the local deposition of the immune complex followed by the activation of complement and release of chemical mediators. In this report, the role of P-selectin in the early stage of reverse passive Arthus reaction in rat using monoclonal antibodies (mAbs) against rat P-selectin will be investigated. Intravenous administration of the mAb ARP2-4 significantly attenuated paw edema 1 h after challenging it with antigen by 31.5% (1 mg/kg) and 44.7% (3 mg/kg), respectively. Edema formation was also reduced by sulfatide (73.1%, 50 mg/kg) and inositol hexakisphosphate (InsP6) (72.9%, 30 mg/kg), which have been reported to block P-selectin-mediated neutrophil adhesion. Moreover, neutrophil accumulation into the inflammatory site in the Arthus reaction was inhibited by anti-P-selectin mAb. P-selectin expression was detected along vessel walls prior to neutrophil accumulation, as determined by immunohistochemical staining using the antibody. In addition, the expression of P-selectin mRNA was induced 4 h after deposition of immune complex. From these results, we concluded that P-selectin plays an important role in the pathogenesis of the Arthus reaction especially in the early stage by recruiting neutrophils into sites of inflammation.

Abstract
P-selectin glycoprotein ligand-1 (PSGL-1) is a disulfide-bonded homodimeric mucin-like glycoprotein on leukocytes that interacts with both P- and E-selectin. In this report we describe the structures of the Ser/Thr-linked O-glycans of PSGL-1 synthesized by HL-60 cells metabolically radiolabeled with 3H-sugar precursors. In control studies, the O-glycans on CD43 (leukosialin), a mucin-like glycoprotein also expressed by HL-60 cells, were analyzed and compared to those of PSGL-1. O-Glycans were released from Ser/Thr residues by mild base/borohydride treatment of purified glycoproteins, and glycan structures were determined by a combination of techniques. In contrast to expectations, PSGL-1 is not heavily fucosylated; a majority of the O-glycans are disialylated or neutral forms of the core-2 tetrasaccharide Galbeta1-->4GlcNAcbeta1-->6(Galbeta1-->3)GalNAcOH++ +. A minority of the O-glycans are alpha-1,3-fucosylated that occur as two major species containing the sialyl Lewis x antigen; one species is a disialylated, monofucosylated glycan, and the other is a monosialylated, trifucosylated glycan having a polylactosamine backbone. CD43 lacks the fucosylated glycans found on PSGL-1 and is enriched for the nonfucosylated, disialylated core-2 hexasaccharide. These results demonstrate that PSGL-1 contains unique fucosylated O-glycans that are predicted to be critical for high affinity interactions between PSGL-1 and selectins.

Abstract
1. Inositol hexakisphosphate (InsP6) is a ubiquitous and abundant cytosolic inositol phosphate that has been reported to prime human neutrophils for enhanced agonist-stimulated superoxide anion generation. This led to the proposal that the release of InsP6 from necrotic cells may augment the functional responsiveness of neutrophils at an inflammatory focus. The aim of this study was to examine whether the functional effects of InsP6 in neutrophils are receptor-mediated and establish the magnitude of this priming effect relative to other better characterized priming agents. 2. Analysis of [3H]-InsP6 binding to human neutrophil membranes in 20 mM Tris, 20 mM NaCl, 100 mM KCl, 5 mM EDTA (pH 7.7) buffer using 0.1 mg ml-1 membrane protein and 2.5 nM [3H]-InsP6 (90 min, 4 degrees C), demonstrated specific low affinity [3H]-InsP6 binding that was non-saturable up to a radioligand concentration of 10 nM. 3. [3H]-InsP6 displacement by InsP6 gave a Hill coefficient of 0.55 and best fitted a two-site logistic model (53% KD 150 nM, 47% KD 5 microM). [3H]-InsP6 binding also displayed low (3 fold) selectivity for InsP6 over Ins(1,3,4,5,6)P5. 4. The specific [3H]-InsP6 binding displayed a pH optimum of 8, was abolished by pre-boiling the membranes, and was enhanced by Ca2+, Mg2+ and Na+. 5. In incubations with intact neutrophils, where high levels of specific [3H]-LTB4 binding was observed, no [3H]-InsP6 binding could be identified. 6. Preincubation of neutrophils with 100 microM InsP6 had no effect on resting cell morphology, but caused a minor and transient (maximal at 30 s) enhancement of (0.1 nM) fMLP-induced shape change (% cells shape changed: fMLP 53 +/- 3%, fMLP+InsP6 66 +/- 4%). Similarly, InsP6 (100 microM, 30 s) had no effect on basal superoxide anion generation and, compared to lipopolysaccharide (LPS, 100 ng ml-1, 60 min), tumour necrosis factor-alpha (TNF alpha, 200 u ml-1, 30 min) or platelet-activating factor (PAF, 100 nM, 5 min) caused only a small enhancement of 100 nM fMLP-stimulated superoxide anion generation (fold-increase in superoxide anion generation over fMLP alone: InsP6 1.8 +/- 0.3, LPS 6.8 +/- 0.6, TNF alpha 5.2 +/- 0.7, PAF 5.8 +/- 0.6). 7. While these data support the presence of a specific, albeit low affinity, [3H]-InsP6 binding site in human neutrophil membrane preparations, the lack of binding to intact cells implies that the functional effects of InsP6 (ie. enhanced fMLP-stimulated superoxide anion generation and shape change) are not receptor-mediated.

Abstract
P-selectin is a vascular cell adhesion molecule that is expressed on the surface of platelets and endothelial cells in response to inflammatory stimuli. It is believed to aid in the binding and recruitment of leukocytes to inflamed tissue. P-selectin adhesion to leukocytes is mediated by the amino-terminal lectin domain that binds the sialyl LewisX (sLeX) carbohydrate (Neu5Acalpha2-3Galbeta1-4(Fucalpha1-3)GlcNAc). Neither the three-dimensional structure of P-selectin nor the protein-carbohydrate interactions that mediate the binding of P-selectin to the sLeX carbohydrate have been determined. The most closely related protein for which a ligand-bound three-dimensional structure has been resolved is the rat mannose-binding protein (Weis, W. I., Drickamer, K., and Hendrickson, W. A. (1992) Nature 360, 127-134). Using the known binding interactions that occur between the rat mannose-binding protein and its ligand (oligomannose) as a template, we have used site-directed mutagenesis to substitute Ala-77 with lysine. This substitution changed P-selectin-carbohydrate binding specificity from sLeX to oligomannose. Further substitution altered the binding preference from mannose to galactose in a predictable manner. These results indicate that P-selectin binds sLeX in a shallow cleft that is similar to the mannose-binding protein saccharide-binding cleft. Additionally, we present an extensive mutagenic analysis of P-selectin Lys-113, a residue that has previously been implicated in P-selectin binding to both sLeX and 3-sulfated galactosylceramide (sulfatide). Our analysis demonstrates that Lys-113 is probably not involved in P-selectin binding to either sulfatide or sLeX. Functionally, it appears that P-selectin has retained a conserved carbohydrate and calcium coordination site that enables it to bind carbohydrate in a manner that is quite similar to that which has been determined for the rat mannose-binding protein.

Abstract
P-selectin binding to neutrophils requires a specific protein, P-selectin glycoprotein ligand 1 (PSGL-1), as well as sialyl-Lewis X (sLex) glycan determinants. We have found that a short segment near the amino terminus of PSGL-1 that contains a tyrosine sulfation consensus is essential for P-selectin adhesion and that addition of the amino-terminal segment to some but not all mucin-like molecules confers on those molecules the ability to bind P-selectin. PSGL-1 synthesized in the presence of sulfation inhibitors binds P-selectin weakly, and within the amino-terminal 20 residues, mutation of the tyrosines to phenylalanine abolishes binding. Rolling of HL-60 cells on P-selectin-coated coverslips is strongly attenuated by treatment of cells with an inhibitor of sulfation.

Abstract
P-selectin glycoprotein ligand-1 (PSGL-1) is a mucin-like glycoprotein on leukocytes that is a high affinity ligand for P-selectin. Previous studies have shown that sialylation and fucosylation of PSGL-1 are required for its binding to P-selectin, but other post-translational modifications of PSGL-1 may also be important. We demonstrate that PSGL-1 synthesized in human HL-60 cells can be metabolically labeled with [35S]sulfate that is incorporated primarily into tyrosine sulfate. Treatment of PSGL-1 with a bacterial arylsulfatase releases sulfate from tyrosine, resulting in a concordant decrease in binding to P-selectin. These studies demonstrate that tyrosine sulfate on PSGL-1 functions in conjunction with sialylated and fucosylated glycans to mediate high affinity binding to P-selectin.

Abstract
We investigated the InsP6 binding proteins in bovine retinal membranes and rod outer segments (ROS) by radioligand binding assay and western blotting. The relative affinity of InsP6 for the binding protein was determined by competitive binding of [3H]-InsP6 with increasing concentrations of the unlabeled InsP6 or other isomers. InsP6 specifically binds to both bovine retinal membranes and ROS; maximum binding was achieved after one-hour incubation at 4 degrees C and was unchanged up to 2 h. Tris-HCl or acetate buffer was equally suitable for the binding assay over a broad range of pH, although specific binding was slightly increased at acidic pH. The order of potencies of displacement was InsP6 > Ins(1,3,4,5,6)P5 > Ins(1,3,4,6)P4 = Ins(1,3,4,5)P4, whereas Ins(1,4,5)P3, Ins(1,4)P2, Ins(4,5)P2, and Ins(1)P were not effective displacers. Scatchard analyses of the binding data were consistent with an equilibrium dissociation constant (Kd) of 2.5 +/- 0.2 microM and maximal binding capacity (Bmax) of 123.7 +/- 25.0 pmol/mg at pH 7.4. Western blotting was used to detect whether AP-2 (an InsP6 binding protein) is present in the retina. Immunoreactivity to AP-2 alpha and beta subunits was found in retinal membranes and ROS. Thus, bovine retinal membranes and ROS contain membrane-associated InsP6 binding protein(s) which is distinct from proteins that bind InsP5, InsP4, or InsP3.
