Abstract
Dipeptidyl-peptidase IV/CD26 (DPP IV) is a cell-surface protease belonging to the prolyloligopeptidase family. It selectively removes the N-terminal dipeptide from peptides with proline or alanine in the second position. Apart from its catalytic activity, it interacts with several proteins, for instance, adenosine deaminase, the HIV gp120 protein, fibronectin, collagen, the chemokine receptor CXCR4, and the tyrosine phosphatase CD45. DPP IV is expressed on a specific set of T lymphocytes, where it is up-regulated after activation. It is also expressed in a variety of tissues, primarily on endothelial and epithelial cells. A soluble form is present in plasma and other body fluids. DPP IV has been proposed as a diagnostic or prognostic marker for various tumors, hematological malignancies, immunological, inflammatory, psychoneuroendocrine disorders, and viral infections. DPP IV truncates many bioactive peptides of medical importance. It plays a role in glucose homeostasis through proteolytic inactivation of the incretins. DPP IV inhibitors improve glucose tolerance and pancreatic islet cell function in animal models of type 2 diabetes and in diabetic patients. The role of DPP IV/ CD26 within the immune system is a combination of its exopeptidase activity and its interactions with different molecules. This enables DPP IV/CD26 to serve as a co-stimulatory molecule to influence T cell activity and to modulate chemotaxis. DPP IV is also implicated in HIV-1 entry, malignant transformation, and tumor invasion.

Abstract
BACKGROUND AND AIMS Zomepirac (ZP), a non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drug (NSAID), has been reported to cause immune-mediated liver injury. In vivo, ZP is metabolized to a chemically reactive acyl glucuronide conjugate (ZAG) which can undergo covalent adduct formation with proteins. Such acyl glucuronide-derived drug-protein adducts may be important in the development of immune and toxic responses caused by NSAID. We have shown using immunoabsorptions that the 110 kDa CD26 (dipeptidyl peptidase IV) is one of the hepatic target proteins for covalent modification by ZAG. In the present study, a CD26-deficient mouse strain was used to examine protein targets for covalent modification by ZP/metabolites in the liver. METHODS AND RESULTS The CD26-deficient phenotype was confirmed by immunohistochemistry, flow cytometry analysis, RT-PCR, enzyme assay and immunoblotting. Moreover, by using monoclonal antibody immunoblots, CD26 was not detected in the livers of ZP-treated CD26-deficient mice. Immunoblots using a polyclonal antiserum to ZP on liver from ZP-treated mice showed three major sizes of protein bands, in the 70, 110 and 140 kDa regions. Most, but not all, of the anti-ZP immunoreactivity in the 110 kDa region was absent from ZP-treated CD26-deficient mice. CONCLUSION These data definitively showed that CD26 was a component of ZP-modified proteins in vivo. In addition, the data suggested that at least one other protein of approximately 110 kDa was modified by covalent adduct formation with ZAG.

Abstract
Dipeptidylpeptidase IV (DPP IV, CD26), a serine-type exo- and endopeptidase found in the cell surface membrane of many tissues, was employed as a model membrane glycoprotein to study the expression of sialoforms on cell surface glycoproteins. Native, enzymatically active DPP IV was purified from plasma membranes of kidney and liver by lectin affinity chromatography in conjunction with crown ether anion exchange chromatography. The enzyme was gradient-eluted in continuous fractions, all showing a single polypeptide band of about 100 kDa when separated by sodium dodecyl sulfate-polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis (SDS-PAGE) under reducing, denaturing conditions. Analysis of the purified DPP IV by isoelectric focusing (IEF) showed that it consists of several polypeptides of different isoelectric points (IP) ranging from 5.5 to 7.0. In vitro- desialylation of the enzyme and subsequent isoelectric focusing revealed that the differences in isoelectric points were due to differences in the degree of sialylation. Differences in the degree of sialylation between the fractions were also demonstrated by SDS-PAGE under nonreducing and nondenaturing conditions. Increased sialylation of the enzyme as demonstrated by isoelectric focusing resulted in increased migration velocity in nonreducing and nondenaturing SDS-polyacrylamide gels. In vitro -desialylation of the enzyme and its resialylation confirmed that sialylation was responsible for this extraordinary migration behavior. The native enzyme was predominantly sialylated via alpha 2, 6-linkage, as shown by lectin affinity blotting employing Sambucus nigra agglutinin (SNA) and Maackia amurensis agglutinin (MAA). These findings demonstrate that a distinct membrane glycoprotein may exist in various sialoforms, distinguished from each other by a different number of sialic acid residues. Moreover, these sialoforms can be individually purified by crown ether anion exchange chromatography.

Abstract
Dipeptidyl peptidase IV (DPPIV, CD26) is an N-glycosylated type II plasma membrane protein. The primary structure of rat wild-type DPPIV contains eight potential N-glycosylation sites. To investigate the role of N-glycosylation in the function of DPPIV, three of its asparagine residues were separately converted to glutamine by site-directed mutagenesis. The resulting N-glycosylation mutants of rat DPPIV were studied in stable transfected Chinese hamster ovary cells. All three N-glycosylation mutants of DPPIV showed a reduced half-life, as well as differing degrees of inhibition of the processing of their N-glycans. Mutation of the first (Asn83-->Gln) or eighth (Asn686-->Gln) N-glycosylation site had only a small effect on its enzymatic activity, cell-surface expression and dimer formation, whereas the mutation of the sixth N-glycosylation site (Asn319-->Gln) abolished the enzymatic activity, eliminated cell-surface expression and prevented the dimerization of the DPPIV protein. The mutant [Gln319]DPPIV is retained in the cytoplasm and its degradation was drastically increased. Our data suggest that the N-glycosylation at Asn319 is involved in protein trafficking and correct protein folding.

Abstract
We previously reported that intravenous injections in rabbits or guinea pigs of divalent antibodies to purified protein or carbohydrate antigens located mainly on endothelial cells induce acute pulmonary edema, which is often lethal. Surviving animals develop resistance to the injurious effect of subsequent injection of antibodies (adaptation), associated with shedding of antigen-antibody complexes from endothelial cells. In the present study, we investigated and compared in mice the effects of 3-day multiple injections of two different rabbit antibody (IgG) preparations against antigens expressed mainly at the surface of epithelial cells. The first preparation contained antibodies to a single transmembrane protein, CD26 (dipeptidyl peptidase IV [DPP IV]) (monoreactive anti-DPP IV IgG); the second contained antibodies against multiple antigens of the renal tubular brush border (BB), including DPP IV (polyreactive anti-BB IgG). Both IgG preparations caused loss of DPP IV from the organs studied, as shown by reduction in enzyme activity in tissue homogenates and by immunofluorescence microscopy, which showed loss of DPP IV from cell surface. However, the monoreactive anti-DPP IV IgG induced considerably greater reduction than polyreactive anti-BB IgG. Loss of DPP IV from the cell surface probably occurred by shedding of immune complexes into vascular and extravascular fluids, including bile and urine. The results may have relevance to hyperacute rejection of xenografts, as from pigs to primates. Since human natural antibodies that bind to porcine cells are polyreactive, a new prophylactic strategy for hyperacute rejection might be based on down-regulation of the major xenogeneic antigen, alpha-galactosyl, by injecting donor animals with monoreactive alpha-galactosyl antibodies before transplantation.

Abstract
Malnutrition is known to have adverse effects on the physiology and morphology of the liver. The aim of this investigation was to examine the effect of protein restriction on the content of plasma membrane proteins residing in the sinusoidal and bile canalicular domains of rat liver. Post-weanling rats maintained on low protein isocaloric diets showed marked growth retardation concomitant with reduced liver protein concentration compared to control animals. The content of leucine aminopeptidase, a bile canalicular enzyme, and asialoglycoprotein receptor, a sinusoidal receptor, in livers of protein-restricted rats was 66% and 50%, respectively, of control livers. In contrast, the relative concentrations of dipeptidyl peptidase IV and a cell adhesion molecule (GP 110), both canalicular proteins, were 160% and 121%, respectively, in rat livers upon protein restriction. After a 4-week rehabilitation period, the concentrations of all canalicular membrane proteins were similar to those in control livers, while the sinusoidal receptor was only 68% of control values. Protein restriction was found to adversely affect the concentrations of protein constituents, but not their localization in the hepatocyte plasma membrane. In general, altered concentrations of hepatocyte membrane proteins were reversed on the administration of a normal protein diet.

Abstract
The extracellular matrix protein fibronectin was found to be secreted by three polarized epithelial cell lines Madin-Darby canine kidney (MDCK), Caco-2 and LLC-PK1. About 54 and 46% of fibronectin was secreted from the apical and basolateral cell surfaces, respectively, in MDCK cells. In Caco-2 and LLC-PK1 cells, the majority (about 92-93%) of fibronectin secretion occurs from the basolateral cell surface, with the remaining 7-8% from the apical surface. In all three cell types, NH4Cl was found to inhibit basolateral secretion (resulting in enhanced apical secretion), while total fibronectin secretion was not significantly affected (although a delay in secretion was observed). Nocodazole reduced total fibronectin secretion to about 70% of control levels in MDCK and Caco-2 cells, with significant inhibition on secretion from both surfaces. In contrast, total fibronectin secretion was enhanced by nocodazole in LLC-PK1 cells. Furthermore, the majority of fibronectin secretion was redirected to the apical cell surface in LLC-PK1 cells. These observations demonstrate that the nature as well as the extent of the effects of NH4-Cl and nocodazole on polarized fibronectin secretion varies amongst different epithelial cell types.

Abstract
The canalicular domain-specific glycoprotein gp110, which recently has been shown to function as an ATP-dependent taurocholate transporter, has been purified 1800-fold from rat liver plasma membranes. gp110 has been characterised as an integral plasma membrane protein with M(r) of 100,000-115,000 and pI of 2.5-3.5 and possesses a highly glycosylated and negatively charged extra-cellular domain. The broad range of M(r) and pI values results from the existence of numerous glycoforms composed of sialylated N-glycans. After deglycosylation, the polypeptide has M(r) 48,000 and pI 5.0. In primary cultures of rat hepatocytes, gp110 is synthesised with M(r) 110,000, while in the presence of tunicamycin the non-glycosylated form has M(r) 48,000. In the presence of 1-deoxymannojirimycin, two forms of M(r) 83,000 and M(r) 91,000 were found, which were converted by endo-beta-N-acetylglucosaminidase H into a single 52,000-M(r) band, indicating the existence of two basic glycoforms at the oligomannosyl stage of biosynthesis. gp110 was phosphorylated at serine residues in primary cultures of hepatocytes. The sequences of ten internal peptides of gp110 were identical to the sequence of the high-M(r) form of ecto-ATPase, but ecto-ATPase activity from plasma-membrane extracts was not depleted by anti-(gp110) serum. In contrast, Fab fragments of these antibodies inhibit the aggregation of freshly isolated hepatocytes.

Abstract
The T cell activation antigen CD26 has been recently identified as the cell surface ectopeptidase dipeptidyl peptidase IV (DPP-IV). DPP-IV is found on many cell types, including lymphocytes, epithelial cells, and certain endothelial cells. The MRC OX61 monoclonal antibody (MAb) which specifically recognises rat DPP-IV was used to examine the expression of CD26/DPP-IV on rat lymphocytes. The molecular nature of the antigen was examined by immunoprecipitation from thymocytes, splenocytes, and hepatocytes. Analysis by one- and two-dimensional gel electrophoresis indicated that the native form of CD26 includes a 220-kDa homodimer. On tissue sections MRC OX61 MAb stained nearly all thymocytes and in the spleen and lymph nodes predominantly stained the T cell areas. However, in immunofluorescence experiments OX61 stained 80 to 87% of lymph node cells and 78 to 85% of spleen cells. Furthermore, two-colour immunofluorescence analysis of the CD4+, CD8+, and Ig+ lymphocyte subsets indicated that only 2 to 5% of each of these subsets lacked OX61 staining. Spleen cells and thymocytes of both CD4+ and CD8+ subsets stained much more intensely with OX61 after these cells were stimulated with phytohemagglutinin. These findings indicate that rat CD26 antigen expression is not confined to the T cell population as has been suggested, but also occurs on B cells, and is increased on T cells following their activation.

Abstract
Superoxide dismutase is the main scavenger of superoxide radicals in the mammalian body. The liver has high levels of two types of superoxide dismutase enzymes, cytosolic Cu-Zn and mitochondrial Mn enzymes. The aim of the present study was to investigate the content of two distinct superoxide dismutases in liver during the perinatal transition from a hypoxic to a hyperoxic environment. Both isozymes were purified to homogeneity and used as immunogens in rabbits. Antisera raised were found to recognize only polypeptides of molecular weight 16,900 or 23,400, which correspond to Cu-Zn and Mn superoxide dismutases, respectively. It was found that the level of Cu-Zn superoxide dismutase enzymatic activity and protein as assessed by immunoquantitation increased 10-fold during the postnatal period, reaching adult levels by 3 weeks. In contrast, the amount of Mn superoxide dismutase content increased only twofold to adult levels during the first week of life. Neither of the superoxide dismutases showed an alteration in specific activity or apparent molecular weight in rat livers during ontogeny. These results show that the levels of two intracellular superoxide dismutases are differentially elevated during the perinatal period. It is suggested that each dismutase plays a different physiological role for superoxide scavenging in liver as a function of the hypoxic/hyperoxic environment at birth.

Abstract
The expression and localization of extracellular matrix proteins in rat liver was investigated as a function of liver development. Levels of extracellular matrix proteins were measured by dot-blot or immunoblot protocols using monospecific antibodies prepared against collagen types I, III and IV; laminin; fibronectin; and fibronectin receptor. Proline and hydroxyproline levels from extracted liver collagen were quantitated by Pico Tag analysis. It was observed that the content of type IV collagen and fibronectin in the rat liver increased two to four times during the perinatal period. In contrast, levels of laminin and collagen types I and III decreased up to twofold in developing rat livers. The content of fibronectin receptor during ontogeny was decreased four times in an inverse relationship to fibronectin molecules. Fibronectin receptor and extracellular matrix proteins displayed no difference in apparent molecular weight as judged by sodium dodecyl sulfate-polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis immunoblots. Indirect immunofluorescence staining of frozen thin liver sections revealed that the pattern of localization of extracellular matrix proteins in the nonvascular regions of fetal liver was punctate rather than restricted to a specific region such as the perisinusoidal area of adult livers. Similarly, fibronectin receptor was also present, mainly in the sinusoidal area of adult livers, whereas fetal sections were diffusely stained. Our findings suggest that the differential modulation of extracellular matrix proteins and their localization in the developing rat livers undergo a dramatic alteration in the composition and structural organization of matrix material, which may act to modulate proliferation and to promote the differentiation of liver cells during development.

Abstract
This paper describes the tissue distribution, purification and N-terminal amino acid sequence of the bile canalicular cell surface molecule dipeptidyl peptidase IV. Immunoperoxidase staining of cryostat sections of rat liver with a monoclonal antibody, Medical Research Council OX-61, indicated specific binding to hepatocyte bile canalicular domains and brush borders of bile ducts. Additional staining was seen in other epithelial brush borders (small intestine, kidney, colon, pancreatic duct); acinar structures in salivary glands; endothelial structures and T cell areas in thymus, spleen and lymph node. The tissue distribution suggested that monoclonal antibody OX-61 binds to the ectoenzyme dipeptidyl peptidase IV. This was confirmed by depletion of dipeptidyl peptidase IV activity from tissue homogenates by monoclonal antibody OX-61 coupled to Sepharose. The molecule recognized by OX-61 was then purified from liver and kidney by monoclonal antibody affinity chromatography. The molecule had a molecular weight of 110 kD under reducing conditions. The purified molecule was subsequently analyzed for amino acid composition and N-terminal amino acid sequence. Thirty-one N-terminal amino acids were sequenced and indicated identity with part of the predicted N-terminus of the previously cloned bile canalicular molecule GP110. On review, other similarities between dipeptidyl peptidase IV and GP110 were detected: molecular weight, deglycosylated form and metabolic half-life. Finally, the recent cloning of dipeptidyl peptidase IV permitted a comparison between the molecule recognized by monoclonal antibody OX-61, GP110 and dipeptidyl peptidase IV. It is concluded that these three molecules are almost certainly identical.

Abstract
The expression of four integral membrane glycoproteins was examined in detail utilizing monospecific antibodies during liver development. These included asialoglycoprotein receptor, a hepatocyte glycoprotein residing in the sinusoidal domain, and three bile canalicular glycoproteins, leucine aminopeptidase, dipeptidyl peptidase IV, and a Mr 110,000 glycoprotein denoted GP 110. It was observed that asialoglycoprotein receptor, GP 110, and dipeptidyl peptidase IV were present in low amounts in fetal liver and reached adult levels between 1 to 3 weeks. In contrast, leucine aminopeptidase was present in nearly adult amounts in 18-day-old fetal livers. These observations were qualitatively confirmed by indirect immunofluorescent staining of frozen thin liver sections obtained from fetal and adult rats. Further, in fetal livers it was found that leucine aminopeptidase was not localized to typical bile canalicular areas. Immunoprecipitation studies performed in the presence of proteolytic inhibitors using detergent-solubilized extracts of metabolically labeled liver minces revealed that GP 110 was present in low amounts as Mr 110,000 and Mr 105,000 polypeptides in 17-day fetal livers but by 21 days of gestation the larger polypeptide was the major synthesis product. Conversely, the apparent molecular weights of leucine aminopeptidase and dipeptidyl peptidase IV were not altered during development. Experiments determining relative rates of synthesis using excess amounts of antibodies showed that the concentrations of the three bile canalicular glycoproteins in liver during ontogeny reflect their rates of synthesis. These results underscore that plasma membrane constituents of the hepatocyte undergo dramatic changes in expression and localization as the liver changes its physiological role at birth.

Abstract
Dipeptidyl peptidase IV (DPPIV) is a serine peptidase that cleaves N-terminal dipeptides from polypeptides when the second residue is a proline or an alanine. We have recently cloned cDNAs for rat gp110, a membrane glycoprotein with Mr of 110,000 isolated initially from rat liver. Studies reported here establish that the gp110 for which we have cloned cDNAs is DPPIV. Using the antibodies against and cDNA for DPPIV, we have assessed the tissue distribution of DPPIV by molecular approaches. Immunoblot analysis demonstrated that DPPIV is present in the kidney, lung, and small intestine at high levels, in the liver and spleen at moderate levels, and in the heart at low levels. The highest levels of mRNA for DPPIV were detected in the kidney and small intestine as compared to moderate levels found in the lung, liver, and spleen. The lowest levels of DPPIV mRNA were found in the stomach, testis, and heart. No detectable DPPIV protein and mRNA were found in brain or muscle. LDPPIV protein and mRNA are present at much lower levels in fetal livers as compared to the adult liver. Indirect immunofluorescence microscopy demonstrated that DPPIV is localized in the bile canaliculus of hematocytes and in the apical membrane domains of kidney tubule and small intestine. Further studies by Southern blot analysis indicate that DPPIV is encoded by a single gene.

Abstract
The regulation of different maturational processes in the liver is believed to be influenced by the hormonal system. The aim of this study was to investigate the effect of two hormones, glucagon and dexamethasone, on levels of plasma membrane proteins in rat liver cells during late fetal and early postnatal stages of development. For this purpose, 18-day-old rat fetuses and 1-day-old newborns were treated with glucagon or dexamethasone and killed at 22 days of gestation and 3, 5 and 7 days of age, respectively. Postnuclei liver membranes were isolated using a sucrose gradient method and assessed for levels of specific membrane proteins. Asialoglycoprotein receptor and 110,000 Mr glycoprotein, denoted GP 110, representing the sinusoidal and bile canalicular domains, respectively, were quantitated using the immunoblot method. Membrane enzymes alkaline phosphatase, leucine aminopeptidase and gamma-glutamyl transferase were evaluated using enzymatic methods. The data showed that glucagon and dexamethasone have a differential effect on membrane constituents according to the stage of development. Glucagon increased the levels of membrane enzymes during the late fetal stage but had no effect on liver membrane proteins in the newborn animal. In contrast, although dexamethasone elevated GP 110 in fetal rat livers, none of the other marker proteins was significantly affected. On the other hand, in newborns dexamethasone reduced the amount of asialoglycoprotein receptor and alkaline phosphatase and leucine aminopeptidase enzyme activities but greatly augmented the level of gamma-glutamyl transferase. Thus, glucagon primarily affects plasma membrane proteins in late gestation while dexamethasone does so during the early postnatal period. The roles that these two hormones may play during ontogeny is discussed with respect to liver development.
