  • Differences among human tumor cell lines in the expression of glutathione transferases and other glutathione-linked enzymes
  • 1990

    • A large number of human tumor cell lines of various origins have been investigated with respect to expression of glutathione-linked enzymes in the cytosol fraction. The amounts of the different enzymes were estimated by use of activity measurements and by silver staining or immunoblot analysis after electrophoresis of cytosol fractions purified by affinity chromatography on S-hexylglutathione Sepharose. Class Pi glutathione transferase was the most abundant enzyme in most tumor cells; the cell lines HepG2 and Raji were exceptions in not expressing significant amounts of this enzyme. HepG2 cells derive from hepatocytes, which normally do not express the class Pi enzyme, whereas Raji cells originate from B-lymphocytes, which normally do express a class Pi glutathione transferase. The highest level of the class Pi transferase, in terms of protein reacting with antibodies as well as enzyme activity, was noted in the colon carcinoma cell line LS174T. Hu549Pat cells, EBV-transformed B-lymphocytes, also expressed high levels of a protein reacting with antibodies specific for class Pi glutathione transferases, but did not display any significant activity with ethacrynic acid, a substrate characteristic for this class. Class Alpha and class Mu glutathione transferases, in cell lines expressing these isoenzymes, were present in significantly lower concentrations than the class Pi enzyme. Most of the tumor cells contained a class Alpha transferase composed of 27.5 kd subunits, which has the physicochemical and immunological properties of the most basic glutathione transferase found in human skin. In several cell lines, a protein was detected with an apparent subunit Mr value of 30 kd that was tentatively identified as an additional class Alpha glutathione transferase not previously described. In addition, other glutathione-linked enzyme activities, namely glutathione peroxidase, glutathione reductase and glyoxalase I, were assayed with specific substrates in the cytosolic fraction of the tumor cells; glyoxalase I could also be estimated semiquantitatively by silver staining of SDS-PAGE cells after affinity chromatography. Like the glutathione transferases, these enzymes displayed distinctly different levels of expression in the various cell lines. Thus, virtually every cell line was found to have a unique pattern of glutathione-linked enzymes, suggesting that the resistance phenotypes of the cells differ accordingly.

  • Further characterization of hormonal regulation of glutathione transferase in rat liver and adrenal glands. Sex differences and demonstration that growth hormone regulates the hepatic levels
  • 1992
  • Ingår i: Biochemical Journal. - : Portland Press. - 0264-6021 .- 1470-8728. ; 286 ( Pt 1), s. 65-72

    • Immunoblot experiments and reverse-phase h.p.l.c. were used to study the levels of glutathione transferase subunits 1, 2, 3, 4, 6, 7 and 8 in the liver and adrenal of intact and hypophysectomized male and female Sprague-Dawley rats. A sexual dimorphism in the levels of several of these isoenzymes and in their responses to hypophysectomy was demonstrated. In the liver of sham-operated females and males there are differences in glutathione transferase activities and isoenzyme pattern. H.p.l.c. analysis showed higher levels of subunits 1, 3 and 4 in male rats compared with females. In contrast with the pronounced sex differences in sham-operated rats, the isoenzyme patterns of hypophysectomized males and females were very similar. In the adrenal glands, however, a sexual dimorphism became apparent only after hypophysectomy, when the level of subunit 4 was increased 14-fold in the female, whereas the corresponding increase in the male rat was only 2.7-fold. The hepatic pattern of glutathione transferase subunits could be altered by continuous infusion of growth hormone to both sham-operated and hypophysectomized rats of both sexes. This treatment feminized the isoenzyme pattern in sham-operated males and a similar effect was obtained upon treating hypophysectomized rats with thyroxine, cortisone acetate and a continuous infusion of growth hormone.

  • Leukotriene C4 synthase : characterization in mouse mastocytoma cells
  • 1990
  • Ingår i: Methods in Enzymology. - : Elsevier. - 0076-6879 .- 1557-7988. ; 187, s. 306-312

    • The chapter presents a study on leukotriene C4 (LTC4) synthase, discussing the characterization in mouse mastocytoma cells. LTC4 is formed by conjugation of leukotriene A4 (LTA4) with glutathione (GSH). In biological systems, the reaction is catalyzed by a membrane-bound enzyme, leukotriene C4 synthase (EC 2.5.1.37). Cytosolic glutathione transferases, in particular, members of the class Mu, have been shown to catalyze formation of LTC4.The most efficient isoenzymes are transferase 6-6 isolated from rat brain, transferase 4-4 from rat liver, and transferase μ from human liver. The name leukotriene C4 synthase, used for the enzyme described in this chapter, has been adopted to distinguish the enzyme from the above glutathione transferases, which display broad substrate specificity. Reports from three groups of investigators have shown that LTC4 formation in rat basophilic leukemia cells is catalyzed by a membrane-bound enzyme. Leukotriene C4 synthase activity has been described and an enzyme partially purified from the microsomal fraction of guinea pig lung. The formation of LTC4 is especially high in mouse mastocytoma cells, the source from which LTC4 was first isolated. The partial purification of leukotriene C4 synthase from this source is described in the chapter.

  • On the nature of leukotriene C4 synthase in human platelets
  • 1992
  • Ingår i: Archives of Biochemistry and Biophysics. - : Elsevier. - 0003-9861 .- 1096-0384. ; 294:1, s. 70-74

    • Leukotriene C4 is considered to play a major role in several important pathophysiological conditions, e.g., allergy, asthma, and shock. The present investigation demonstrates the presence in human platelets of a membrane-associated enzyme catalyzing the final step in the biosynthesis of leukotriene C4. This leukotriene C4 synthase was shown to be distinct from previously characterized "microsomal" and soluble glutathione transferases. The latter enzymes did not contribute significantly to the leukotriene A4 conjugating activity in platelets. As determined with leukotriene C4 synthase of a crude membrane fraction from human platelets, the Km value was 7 microM and the V value was 0.56 nmol x min-1 x mg-1 with leukotriene A4 as substrate. The enzyme was 20-fold more efficient with leukotriene A4 than with leukotriene A5 and 30-fold more efficient than with the unphysiological derivative leukotriene A4 methyl ester, as measured by the corresponding V/Km values; 14,15-leukotriene A4 was not a substrate. Platelets should be a useful source for the purification and further characterization of human leukotriene C4 synthase.
