The distribution of the prohormone convertases, PC1/3, PC2 and PC5/6, was determined by immunoblotting in two cell lines. In alpha TC1-6 cells, the proglucagon processing occurred according to the pancreatic A-cell type. In STC-1 cells, proglucagon was processed in a manner reminiscent of the intestinal L-cell type. PC1/3 was undetectable in both proglucagon processing cell lines whereas PC2 displayed a strong immunostaining in the alpha TC1-6 cells and was barely detectable in the STC-1 cells. PC5/6 was detected as a 70 kDa protein in both cell lines. These results suggest a possible role of PC2 in the processing of proglucagon into glucagon in the A-cells, whereas in L-cells it would require still undetermined endoproteases.
通过免疫印迹法在两种细胞系中测定了激素原转化酶PC1/3、PC2和PC5/6的分布。在αTC1-6细胞中,胰高血糖素原的加工过程符合胰腺A细胞类型。在STC-1细胞中,胰高血糖素原的加工方式让人联想到肠道L细胞类型。在这两种胰高血糖素原加工细胞系中均未检测到PC1/3,而PC2在αTC1-6细胞中显示出强烈的免疫染色,在STC-1细胞中几乎检测不到。在两种细胞系中均检测到PC5/6为一种70 kDa的蛋白质。这些结果表明,PC2可能在A细胞中将胰高血糖素原加工成胰高血糖素的过程中发挥作用,而在L细胞中,这一过程则需要尚未确定的内切蛋白酶。
