Abstract

Lysosome-associated membrane protein (LAMP)-1, a major glycoprotein of mouse embryo 3T3 cells and specifically associated with the lysosomal membrane, has been identified in P388 macrophage cells and compared with the homologous glycoprotein of NIH 3T3 cells. Immunofluorescence microscopy with anti-LAMP-1 monoclonal antibodies shows that the antigen was distributed throughout P388 cells including the ruffled edges or pseudopodia, identical to the pattern of acridine orange accumulation. LAMP-1 was purified from P388 cells by affinity chromotography with 1D4B monoclonal antibody, yielding a homogenous glycoprotein comprising 0.1% of the total detergent-extracted cell protein. The apparent mass of P388 LAMP-1 was 130,000 to 150,000 compared to the 3T3 glycoprotein of 105,000 to 115,000. Analysis of tryptic peptides indicated that the two purified glycoproteins were highly homologous. Protein synthesis was analyzed in a variety of cell lines by pulse-chase labeling with [35S]methionine; in every case, LAMP-1 was synthesized as a precursor of apparent Mr 92,000, and then converted to heterogeneous mature forms differing in average Mr from 110,000 to 140,000. The basis for these apparent differences in mass was examined by studies of the biosynthesis and oligosaccharide composition of the glycoprotein. Core polypeptides of 45,000 Da were obtained from both HaNIH and P388 cells by treating immunoprecipitates of [35S]methionine pulse-labeled molecules with endoglycosidase H. Cells treated with monensin contained heterogeneous molecules of 80,000 to 85,000 Da. Isoelectric heterogeneity of mature LAMP-1 was markedly reduced by treatment with neuraminidase whereas there was little effect on the apparent molecular weight of the molecules or the differences between the various cell lines. β-d-Xyloside inhibition of glycosaminoglycan synthesis had little effect on the apparent mass of LAMP-1.

      Lysosomes require many special proteins to maintain their role in cells. The lysosomal membrane contains up to 100 LMPs, of which about 25 have been studied and all of these may be critical to the biosynthesis and function of lysosomes [57,58]. Lysosomal metabolic pathways were involved in cell apoptosis.

      DNA vaccines show more promises [19]; however, conventional DNA constructs encode endogenous antigens forming the peptide/major histocompatibility complex (MHC) I complexes, and only initiate CD8+ cytotoxic T-cell (CTL) activation [20]. Lysosomal-associated membrane protein 1 (LAMP1) [21,22], as an intrinsic element of lysosome, was desired for antigens directed to vesicular lysosomal/endosomal sites, where MHC II presentation occurred [20]. After antigens being processed by MHC II pathway, CD4+ T cells, which are critical for cellular, humoral and long-term immune responses, can be effectively primed [23–28].

      To investigate whether the LAMPs are involved in the positioning of mitochondria in MC3T3-E1 cells, the cells were treated with siRNA to downregulate either LAMP-1 or LAMP-2. The LAMPs are highly glycosylated proteins, with apparent molecular weights of 100 kDa [5–8]. After the N-glycosylated oligosaccharides were removed by a treatment with PNGaseF, the molecular weights were reduced to 50 kDa (Fig. 3A).

      However, the overlapping of ED1 and ED2 reaction has never been formally proven using the double immunohistochemical staining. In addition, being rich in lysosomes, these cells are positive for lysosome-associated membrane protein 1 (LAMP-1) (Fig. 3c) (Chen et al., 1985). It is known that the large majority of thymocytes (95−98%) in the thymus die through apoptosis being incapable to pass through the process of positive selection (Scollay et al., 1984).
