Abstract
Design of safe and effective synthetic nucleic acid delivery vectors such as polycation/DNA or polycation/siRNA complexes (polyplexes) will be facilitated by quantitative understanding of the mechanisms by which such materials escort cargo from the cell surface to the nucleus. In particular, the mechanisms of cellular internalization by various endocytosis pathways and subsequent endocytic vesicle trafficking have been shown to strongly affect nucleic acid delivery efficiency. Fluorescence microscopy and subcellular fractionation methods are commonly employed to follow intracellular trafficking of biomolecules and nanoparticulate delivery systems such as polyplexes. However, it is difficult to obtain quantitative data from microscopy and subcellular fractionation is experimentally difficult and low throughput. We have developed a method for quantifying the transport of polyplexes through important endocytic vesicles. The method is based on polymerization of 3,3'-diaminobenzidine by endocytosed horseradish peroxidase, causing an increase in the vesicle density, resistance to being solubilized by detergent and quenching of fluorophores within the vesicles, which makes them easy to separate and quantify. Using this method in HeLa cells, we have observed polyethylenimine/siRNA polyplexes initially appearing in early endosomes and rapidly moving to other compartments within 30min post-transfection. At the same time, we observed the kinetics of accumulation of the polyplexes in lysosomes at a similar rate. The results from the new method are consistent with similar measurements by confocal fluorescence microscopy and subcellular fractionation of endocytic vesicles on a Percoll gradient. The relative ease of this new method will aid investigation of gene delivery mechanisms by providing the means to rapidly quantify endocytic trafficking of polyplexes and other vectors.

Abstract
As Giardia lamblia is unable to synthesize cholesterol de novo, this steroid might be obtained from the host's intestinal milieu by endocytosis of lipoproteins. In this work, we identified a putative Giardia lamblia low-density lipoprotein receptor-related proteins (GlLRP), a type I membrane protein, which shares the substrate N-terminal binding domain and a FXNPXY-type endocytic motif with human LRPs. Expression of tagged GlLRP showed that it was localized predominantly in the endoplasmic reticulum, lysosomal-like peripheral vacuoles and plasma membrane. However, the FXNPXY-deleted GlLRP was retained at the plasma membrane suggesting that it is abnormally transported and processed. The low-density lipoprotein and chylomicrons interacted with GlLRP, with this interaction being necessary for lipoprotein internalization and cell proliferation. Finally, we show that GlLRP binds directly to the medium subunit of Giardia adaptor protein 2, indicating that receptor-mediated internalization occurs through an adaptin mechanism.

Abstract
Endocytosed molecules are sorted in endosomes to different cellular destinations (e.g., to lysosomes or to the plasma membrane). Diverse endosomal sorting results have been reported for different ligands and receptors in a variety of cell types, but the general principles governing these sorting outcomes are not well understood. For example, we observed a wide range of sorting outcomes with the epidermal growth factor (EGF)/receptor system in fibroblasts using several members of the EGF family and site-directed ligand and receptor mutants. In this article we describe a mechanistic mathematical model of endosomal sorting based on the hypothesis that receptors may be selectively retained by the endosomal sorting apparatus and that this process may be modulated by receptor occupancy. Our results show that this single mechanism can account for the wide variety of observed sorting outcomes. By providing a conceptual framework for understanding endosomal sorting, this model not only helps interpret our experimental results for the EGF/receptor system, but also provides some insight into the principles governing sorting. For example, the model predicts that the influence of selective endosomal retention of receptor/ligand complexes is seen in deviations of ligand sorting outcomes from pure fluid phase sorting behavior. Furthermore, the model suggests that selective endosomal retention of complexes within endosomes gives rise to three sorting regimes characterized by distinguishable qualitative trends in the dependence of ligand sorting fractions on intracellular ligand concentrations.

Abstract
Ionic copper entering blood plasma binds tightly to albumin and the macroglobulin transcuprein. It then goes primarily to the liver and kidney except in lactation, where a large portion goes directly to the mammary gland. Little is known about how this copper is taken up from these plasma proteins. To examine this, the kinetics of uptake from purified human albumin and alpha(2)-macroglobulin, and the effects of inhibitors, were measured using human hepatic (HepG2) and mammary epithelial (PMC42) cell lines. At physiological concentrations (3-6 muM), both cell types took up copper from these proteins independently and at rates similar to each other and to those for Cu-dihistidine or Cu-nitrilotriacetate (NTA). Uptakes from alpha(2)-macroglobulin indicated a single saturable system in each cell type, but with different kinetics, and 65-80% inhibition by Ag(I) in HepG2 cells but not PMC42 cells. Uptake kinetics for Cu-albumin were more complex and also differed with cell type (as was the case for Cu-histidine and NTA), and there was little or no inhibition by Ag(I). High Fe(II) concentrations (100-500 microM) inhibited copper uptake from albumin by 20-30% in both cell types and that from alpha(2)-macroglobulin by 0-30%, and there was no inhibition of the latter by Mn(II) or Zn(II). We conclude that the proteins mainly responsible for the plasma-exchangeable copper pool deliver the metal to mammalian cells efficiently and by several different mechanisms. alpha(2)-Macroglobulin delivers it primarily to copper transporter 1 in hepatic cells but not mammary epithelial cells, and additional as-yet-unidentified copper transporters or systems for uptake from these proteins remain to be identified.

Abstract
The amyloid beta peptide (A beta) is a central player in Alzheimer's disease (AD) pathology. A beta liberation depends on APP cleavage by beta- and gamma-secretases. The low density lipoprotein receptor related protein 1 (LRP1) was shown to mediate APP processing at multiple steps. Newly synthesized LRP1 can interact with APP, implying an interaction between these two proteins early in the secretory pathway. We wanted to investigate whether LRP1 mediates APP trafficking along the secretory pathway, and, if so, whether it affects APP processing. Indeed, the early trafficking of APP within the secretory pathway is strongly influenced by its interaction with the C-terminal domain of LRP1. The LRP1-construct expressing an ER-retention motif, LRP-CT KKAA, had the capacity to retard APP traffic to early secretory compartments. In addition, we provide evidence that APP metabolism occurs in close conjunction with LRP1 trafficking, highlighting a new role of lipoprotein receptors in neurodegenerative diseases.

Abstract
PURPOSE To identify the molecules responsible for amyloid beta-peptide (1-40) (Abeta(1-40)) uptake by the liver, which play a major role in the systemic clearance of Abeta(1-40). METHODS The liver uptake index method was used to examine the mechanisms of Abeta(1-40) uptake by the liver in vivo. RESULTS [125I]Abeta(1-40) uptake by the rat liver was concentration-dependent (50% saturation concentration = 302 nM). The inhibitory spectrum of Abeta fragments indicated that 17-24 in Abeta (LVFFAEDV) was the putative sequence responsible for hepatic Abeta(1-40) uptake. Receptor-associated protein (RAP) inhibited [125I]Abeta(1-40) uptake by 48%. RAP-deficient mice, in which low-density lipoprotein receptor-related protein 1 (LRP-1) expression was suppressed, showed a 46% reduction in [125I]Abeta(1-40) uptake by the liver. siRNA-mediated suppression of LRP-1 expression in the liver resulted in a reduction in [125I]Abeta(1-40) uptake by 64%. Both the expression of LRP-1 in the liver and the hepatic Abeta(1-40) uptake were significantly reduced in 13-month-old rats compared with 7-week-old rats. CONCLUSIONS LRP-1 is the major receptor responsible for the saturable uptake of plasma free Abeta(1-40) by the liver. Reduction of LRP-1 expression will play a role in the age-related reduction in hepatic Abeta(1-40) clearance.

Abstract
Atherosclerosis is a leading cause of death in the U.S. Because there is a potential to prevent coronary and arterial disease through early diagnosis, there is a need for methods to image arteries in the subclinical stage as well as clinical stage using various noninvasive techniques, including magnetic resonance imaging (MRI). We describe a development of a novel MRI contrast agent targeted to plaques that will allow imaging of lesion formation. The contrast agent is directed to macrophages, one of the earliest components of developing plaques. Macrophages are labeled through the macrophage scavenger receptor A, a macrophage specific cell surface protein, using an MRI contrast agent derived from scavenger receptor ligands. We have synthesized and characterized these contrast agents with a range of relaxivities. In vitro studies show that the targeted contrast agent accumulates in macrophages, and solution studies indicate that micromolar concentrations are sufficient to produce contrast in an MR image. Cell toxicity and initial biodistribution studies indicate low toxicity, no detectable retention in normal blood vessels, and rapid clearance from blood. The promising performance of this contrast agent targeted toward vascular inflammation opens doors to tracking of other inflammatory diseases such as tumor immunotherapy and transplant acceptance using MRI.

Abstract
Movement through the endocytic pathway occurs principally via a series of membrane fusion and fission reactions that allow sorting of molecules to be recycled from those to be degraded. Endosome fusion is dependent on SNARE proteins, although the nature of the proteins involved and their regulation has not been fully elucidated. We found that the endosome-associated hepatocyte responsive serum phosphoprotein (Hrs) inhibited the homotypic fusion of early endosomes. A region of Hrs predicted to form a coiled coil required for binding the Q-SNARE, SNAP-25, mimicked the inhibition of endosome fusion produced by full-length Hrs, and was sufficient for endosome binding. SNAP-25, syntaxin 13, and VAMP2 were bound from rat brain membranes to the Hrs coiled-coil domain. Syntaxin 13 inhibited early endosomal fusion and botulinum toxin/E inhibition of early endosomal fusion was reversed by addition of SNAP-25(150-206), confirming a role for syntaxin 13, and establishing a role for SNAP-25 in endosomal fusion. Hrs inhibited formation of the syntaxin 13-SNAP-25-VAMP2 complex by displacing VAMP2 from the complex. These data suggest that SNAP-25 is a receptor for Hrs on early endosomal membranes and that the binding of Hrs to SNAP-25 on endosomal membranes inhibits formation of a SNARE complex required for homotypic endosome fusion.

Abstract
Phagosomes containing live virulent mycobacteria undergo fusion with early endosomes, but they are unable to mature normally. Accordingly, they do not fuse with lysosomes. Although M. avium-containing phagosomes retain fusion and intermingling characteristics of early endosomes indefinitely, fusions with early endosomes are increasingly restricted as bacteria multiply. In addition, when endocytic tracers, such as horseradish peroxidase (HRP), are added to M. avium-infected macrophages at 1 or up to 15 days after infection, an atypical time course of acquisition of the tracer by the phagosomes is observed, i.e., a 10 to 20 min lag, instead of immediate acquisition as is typical for early endosomes (and phagosomes with early endosome characteristics). These events coincide with a marked disorganization of the actin filament network in M. avium-infected macrophages. In the present study, we have therefore addressed the following question: Do actin filaments play a role in fusion and intermingling of contents between early endosomes and immature phagosomes that undergo homotypic fusion with early endosomes? We examined the time course of acquisition of subsequently internalized endocytic marker (HRP) by early endosome-like preexisting phagosomes, i.e. 2 hour-old phagosomes with either hydrophobic latex particles, virulent or avirulent M. avium, after depolymerization of the actin filament network with cytochalasin D or after repolymerization of the actin filament network with jasplakinolide, in cases where the network had been depolymerized (macrophages infected with M. avium, at 1 or up to 7 days after infection). By direct morphological observation at the electron microscope level and by a kinetic approach, we show here that depolymerization of the actin filament network with cytochalasin D delays acquisition of HRP whereas repolymerization restores immediate acquisition of the marker. We conclude that the actin filament network is involved in fusion and intermingling of endocytic contents between early endosomes and early endosome-like phagosomes, and that disruption of this network by M. avium is the cause for the atypical acquisition of content marker by phagosomes containing these pathogenic mycobacteria.

Abstract
Phagosomes with pathogenic mycobacteria retain fusion and intermingling characteristics of early endosomes indefinitely. The time course of acquisition of newly endocytosed tracers becomes, however, atypical (lag instead of immediate acquisition) starting from day 1 postinfection (p.i.), thereby suggesting that additional factors affect this process. Disruption of the actin filament (F-actin) network by cytochalasin D perturbs the movement of early endosomes and probably fusion events among early endosomes and phagosomes. Here we compare, by immunofluorescence microscopy, the morphology and distribution of F-actin in macrophages infected with virulent Mycobacterium avium, in uninfected macrophages, or in macrophages after phagocytosis of nonpathogenic bacteria (Mycobacterium smegmatis or Bacillus subtilis) or hydrophobic latex particles. In uninfected cells, F-actin appeared as a network of small filaments distributed throughout the cell; about 80% of the cells also displayed one or two small patches of F-actin at the cell periphery. Virulent M. avium caused a marked disorganization of the F-actin network starting from day 1 p.i. The most salient features were the formation of several large patches, the progressive disappearance of the small filaments, and the appearance of large numbers of tiny punctate structures starting from day 2 p.i. With the three other particles, the F-actin network was unmodified compared to that in uninfected cells. The atypical lag in acquisition of newly endocytosed tracers by M. avium-containing phagosomes, therefore, seems to coincide with the disorganization of the F-actin network.

Abstract
Dual infection of cells may divert pathogens to intracellular compartments different from those occupied in mono-infected cells. In the present studies, mouse bone marrow in vitro-derived macrophages were first infected with virulent Mycobacterium avium, which are normally singly lodged within tight phagosomes. These phagosomes do not mature; they undergo homotypic fusion with early endosomes and do not fuse with lysosomes. Seven days later, the cultures were superinfected with phase II (non-virulent) Coxiella burnetii, organisms sheltered in lysosome- (or prelysosome)-like, multi-occupancy phagosomes. The latter can attain large size and engage in efficient homo- and heterotypic fusion with other phagosomes. Cultures were fixed for transmission electron microscopy 6, 12, 24, and 48 h later. Other M. avium-infected cultures were superinfected with amastigotes of the trypanosomatid flagellate Leishmania amazonensis, which are also sheltered in lysosome- (or prelysosome)-like multi-occupancy vacuoles, and fixed at the same time periods. Chimeric phagosomes containing both M. avium and C. burnetii, were found already at 6 h and the proportion of M. avium that colocalized with C. burnetii in the same phagosomes reached over 90% after 48 h. In such phagosomes, both organisms were ultrastructurally well preserved. In contrast, colocalization of M. avium and L. amazonensis was rarely found. Speculative scenarios that could underlie the formation of chimeric phagosomes could involve delayed maturation of C. burnetii-containing phagosomes in presence of M. avium, which would allow for fusion of C. burnetii- and M. avium-containing phagosomes; the production, by C. burnetii, of molecules that upregulate the fusion of M. avium-containing phagosomes with those that contain C. burnetii; and the secretion of factors that could favour the survival of M. avium within chimeric vacuoles.

Abstract
Abstract
In this study, we detailed in a time-dependent manner the trafficking, the recycling, and the structural fate of Brucella abortus LPS in murine peritoneal macrophages by immunofluorescence, ELISA, and biochemical analyses. The intracellular pathway of B. abortus LPS, a nonclassical endotoxin, was investigated both in vivo after LPS injection in the peritoneal cavity of mice and in vitro after LPS incubation with macrophages. We also followed LPS trafficking after infection of macrophages with B. abortus strain 19. After binding to the cell surface and internalization, Brucella LPS is routed from early endosomes to lysosomes with unusual slow kinetics. It accumulates there for at least 24 h. Later, LPS leaves lysosomes and reaches the macrophage cell surface. This recycling pathway is also observed for LPS released by Brucella S19 following in vitro infection. Indeed, by 72 h postinfection, bacteria are degraded by macrophages and LPS is located inside lysosomes dispersed at the cell periphery. From 72 h onward, LPS is gradually detected at the plasma membrane. In each case, the LPS present at the cell surface is found in large clusters with the O-chain facing the extracellular medium. Both the antigenicity and heterogenicity of the O-chain moiety are preserved during the intracellular trafficking. We demonstrate that LPS is not cleared by macrophages either in vitro or in vivo after 3 mo, exposing its immunogenic moiety toward the extracellular medium.

Abstract
Abstract
We analyzed the impact of ligand aggregation and LPS-induced signaling on CD14-dependent LPS internalization kinetics in human monocytic THP-1 cells and murine macrophages. Using two independent methods, we found that the initial rate and extent of LPS internalization increased with LPS aggregate size. In the presence of LPS binding protein (LBP), large LPS aggregates were internalized extremely rapidly (70% of the cell-associated LPS was internalized in 1 min). Smaller LPS aggregates were internalized more slowly than the larger aggregates, and LPS monomers, complexed with soluble CD14 in the absence of LBP, were internalized very slowly after binding to membrane CD14 (5% of the cell-associated LPS was internalized in 1 min). In contrast, the initial aggregation state had little or no effect on the stimulatory potency of the LPS. Previous studies suggest that LPS-induced signal responses may influence the intracellular traffic and processing of LPS. We found that elicited peritoneal macrophages from LPS-responsive (C3H/HeN) and LPS-hyporesponsive (C3H/HeJ) mice internalized LPS with similar kinetics. In addition, pre-exposure of THP-1 cells to LPS had no effect on their ability to internalize subsequently added LPS, and pre-exposure of the cells to the LPS-specific inhibitor, LA-14-PP, inhibited stimulation of the cells without inhibiting LPS internalization. In these cells, LPS is thus internalized by a constitutive cellular mechanism(s) with kinetics that depend importantly upon the physical state in which the LPS is presented to the cell.

Abstract
A mutant influenza virus hemagglutinin, HA+8, having a carboxyl-terminal extension of 8 amino acids that included 4 aromatic residues, was internalized within 2 min of arriving at the cell surface and was degraded quickly by a process that was inhibited by ammonium chloride. Through second-site mutagenesis, the internalization sequence of HA+8 was found to closely resemble the internalization signals of the transferrin receptor or large mannose 6-phosphate receptor. Comparison of the intracellular traffic of HA+8 and a series of other HA mutants that differed in their rates of internalization revealed a relation between the amount of the protein on the plasma membrane at steady state and the internalization rate that would be predicted if most of each protein recycled to the cell surface. However, there was no simple correlation between the internalization rate and the rate of degradation, indicating that transport to the compartment where degradation occurred was not simply a function of the concentration of the proteins in early endosomes. The internal populations of both HA+8, which was degraded with a t1/2 of 1.9 h, and HA-Y543, which was degraded with a t1/2 of 2.9 h, were found by cell fractionation and density-shift experiments to reside in early endosomes with little accumulation in lysosomes. A fluid-phase marker reached lysosomes 3-4-fold faster than these proteins were degraded. Degradation of these mutant HAs involved a rate-determining step in early endosomes that was sensitive to some feature of the protein that depended upon sequence differences in the cytoplasmic domain unrelated to the internalization signal.

Abstract
The controversy whether endocytic processing occurs by organellar maturation or by vesicular traffic has not been resolved. It is also not clear whether maturation continues to the stage of lysosomes, to what extent it involves a decrease in organellar fusogenicity, and how it relates to membrane recycling. Maturation and vesicular traffic imply distinct kinetics for the intermingling of endocytic markers after sequential endocytic uptake. We have studied the kinetics of intermingling of fluid-phase markers (fluorescein-labelled dextran and horseradish peroxidase) and cell surface-derived membrane (labelled by galactosylation) in organelles at early and late stages of the endocytic pathway in macrophage-like P388D1 cells. Intermingling declined by sigmoid kinetics, indicating that endosomes matured within about 3 minutes to become non-fusogenic towards early endosomes. During maturation about 60% of internalized membrane was recycled with T1/2 approximately 2 minutes. Whereas matured endosomes were non-fusogenic towards early endosomes and towards each other, a second phase of intermingling was observed upon delivery to lysosomes. This intermingling occurred by a first-order process (T1/2 approximately 4 minutes), concurrent with recycling of the remaining 40% of internalized membrane marker. These kinetic observations suggest a model for endocytic processing which reconciles maturation of early endosomes with the known function of carrier vesicles: Endocytic carrier vesicles do not bud off from permanent early endosomes as proposed for vesicular traffic, but are derived, together with recycling vesicles, from the maturation of early endosomes which are consumed by this process; these carrier vesicles subsequently mediate delivery to lysosomes by vesicular traffic during which the remaining surface-derived membrane is recycled.

Abstract
The effect of apoprotein E on cellular uptake of "VLDL-size" and "IDL-size" triacylglycerol-phospholipid emulsion particles was studied in J-774 macrophages and fibroblasts. In the absence of apoprotein E (apo E), uptake of the smaller IDL-size particles was up to 2-fold higher by mass and 100-fold higher as calculated by particle number. Apo E enhanced the uptake of both VLDL-size and IDL-size emulsion particles, but the effect was greater on the uptake of larger particles (4-5-fold) as compared to up to a 2-fold increase in the uptake of IDL-size particles. In fibroblasts, particle uptake was less than in macrophages (30-50%), but preferential uptake of smaller particles was similarly observed. Particle internalization was demonstrated by 125I-apo E degradation and resistance to particle release by heparin-suramin. In the absence of apo E, cholesteryl ester of emulsion particles (prepared with trace amounts of [3H]cholesteryl ester) was hydrolyzed to free cholesterol, proving internalization and intracellular metabolism. Double-label experiments using DiI-labeled emulsion particles, in the absence and presence of apo E, showed that emulsion particles are rapidly targeted to perinuclear lysosomes. Thus, at physiological concentrations of triglyceride-rich particles, non-receptor-mediated uptake is a mechanism for the uptake of VLDL-size and IDL-size particles into cells.

Abstract
Endocytosed proteins destined for degradation in lysosomes are targeted mainly to early endosomes following uptake. Late endosomes are the major site for entry of newly synthesized lysosomal hydrolases via the cation-independent mannose 6-phosphate receptor into the degradative pathway. No consensus exists as to the mechanism of transport from early to late endosomes. We used asialoorosomucoid and transferrin to label selected parts of the degradative and receptor-recycling pathways, respectively, in the human hepatoma cell line HepG2. Intracellular mixing of sequentially endocytosed 125I- and HRP-labeled ligands was monitored by using 3,3'-diaminobenzidine-mediated density perturbation. The entire endocytic pathway of asialoorosomucoid, except for the lysosomes, remained fully accessible to subsequently endocytosed transferrin conjugated to HRP with unchanged kinetics. These results together with immunoelectron microscopic data support a model in which early endosomes gradually mature into late endosomes.

Abstract
Using a monoclonal antibody specific for the hamster fibronectin receptor (FnR), we have demonstrated that a portion of the CHO cell FnR population is constitutively endocytosed. Three independent techniques were used to study the internalization: 1) after saturation binding of an anti-FnR antibody (PB1) to cells at 4 degrees C, internalization was initiated by warming to 37 degrees C, and then acid/salt elution of membrane-bound ligand was used to quantitate the internalized 125I-PB1; 2) cell vesicular traffic was pharmacologically disrupted with monensin or chloroquine, and the subsequent reduction of the cell surface pool of FnR was monitored; and 3) selective immunoprecipitation was used to separate surface and internalized 125I-labeled FnR. These experiments indicate that about 30% of the cell surface FnR is endocytosed with a t1/2 of 7 min and that this internalization occurs regardless of the ligation state of the receptor. Other observations indicate that the larger fraction of the cell surface FnR pool (70-75%) is apparently shed from the cell upon ligation with antibody at 37 degrees C. This process occurs much more slowly than receptor internalization and leads to an overall reduction in the amount of cell surface FnR. Our results suggest physically or chemically distinct populations of FnR, one of which is unavailable for internalization and recycling.
