Human neuroblastoma GOTO cell lines were established that stably express recombinant human lysosomal protective protein/cathepsin A (PPCA) cDNA by transfection. Intracellular cathepsin A (acid serine carboxypeptidase) activity increased four-fold compared with in those of the parent and mock-transfected cell lines. The immunoreactive 54 kDa precursor/zymogen and mature 32/20 kDa two-chain forms were produced in the cells. The amount of the latter form expressed in the GOTO cells was significantly larger than those in the PPCA-overexpressing CHO cell lines previously established. The intracellular proteins showed a typical lysosomal granular distribution and the glycosylated 54 kDa precursor was secreted into the culture medium without the addition of an alkalizing agent. The PPCA-overexpressing cell lines also retained the ability to differentiate bi-directionally as well as the parent cells; into neuronal cells on induction by dibutyryl cAMP in serum-free medium and into Schwannian cells on induction by bromodeoxyuridine. During the course of differentiation into neuronal and Schwannian cells, the intracellular cathepsin A activity further increased two and five times, respectively, which was associated with an increase in the expression of the 32/20 kDa two-chain form. The glycosylated precursor proteins were taken up via the mannose 6-phosphate receptors, and the cathepsin A, alpha-neuraminidase and beta-galactosidase (beta-Gal) activities deficient in the fibroblasts derived from a patient with PPCA deficiency (galactosialidosis) were restored. These results suggest that the bi-directional differentiation of GOTO cell lines stably expressing the recombinant human PPCA gene could be a model system for analyzing the functions of PPCA in peripheral neuronal cells and Schwannian cells as well as the recombinant PPCA could be a useful source for enzyme replacement therapy (ERT) for galactosialidosis patients.
通过转染建立了稳定表达重组人溶酶体保护蛋白/组织蛋白酶A(PPCA)cDNA的人神经母细胞瘤GOTO细胞系。与亲本细胞系和mock转染细胞系相比,细胞内组织蛋白酶A(酸性丝氨酸羧肽酶)活性增加了四倍。细胞中产生了免疫反应性54 kDa前体/酶原和成熟的32/20 kDa双链形式。在GOTO细胞中表达的后一种形式的量明显大于先前建立的过表达PPCA的CHO细胞系中的量。细胞内蛋白质呈现典型的溶酶体颗粒分布,并且在不添加碱化剂的情况下,糖基化的54 kDa前体分泌到培养基中。过表达PPCA的细胞系也保留了与亲本细胞一样的双向分化能力;在无血清培养基中由二丁酰cAMP诱导分化为神经元细胞,在由溴脱氧尿苷诱导下分化为雪旺氏细胞。在分化为神经元细胞和雪旺氏细胞的过程中,细胞内组织蛋白酶A活性分别进一步增加了两倍和五倍,这与32/20 kDa双链形式表达的增加有关。糖基化前体蛋白通过甘露糖6-磷酸受体被摄取,并且PPCA缺乏症(半乳糖唾液酸贮积症)患者来源的成纤维细胞中缺乏的组织蛋白酶A、α-神经氨酸酶和β-半乳糖苷酶(β-Gal)活性得以恢复。这些结果表明,稳定表达重组人PPCA基因的GOTO细胞系双向分化可能是分析PPCA在外周神经元细胞和雪旺氏细胞中的功能的模型系统,并且重组PPCA可能是半乳糖唾液酸贮积症患者酶替代疗法(ERT)的有用来源。
