Abstract

Interaction of cyclodextrins with native and isolated lipoproteins was studied by electrophoretic and spectroscopic means. Reaction between these two biomolecules resulted in the formation of soluble and insoluble complexes. Cyclodextrin-mediated precipitation of lipoproteins was strongly affected by the concentration of the oligosaccharide and the presence of guest molecules capable of being entrapped within the cyclodextrin cavity. Lipoprotein precipitation by cyclodextrins was observed under acidic, neutral as well as alkaline conditions. The ionic strength of the medium did not significantly affect this interaction. Under appropriate experimental conditions, most types of cyclodextrins were able to form complexes with the various lipoprotein classes. The ability of cyclodextrins to precipitate lipoproteins was in the order of beta-cyclodextrin greater than alpha-cyclodextrin greater than gamma-cyclodextrin and hydroxyalkylated beta-cyclodextrin. Among the lipoproteins, the order of reactivity with a given cyclodextrin was: low density lipoproteins greater than high density lipoproteins greater than very low density lipoproteins. Competitive studies using L-phenylalanine and methanol, both of which form inclusion complexes with cyclodextrins, reveal that molecular encapsulation plays an important role in the stabilization of beta-cyclodextrin-lipoprotein complexes. The present data also suggests that the binding of cyclodextrins to lipoproteins may involve the formation of exclusion complexes.

Distinct versus redundant properties among members of the INK4 family of cyclin-dependent kinase inhibitors.

p16(INK4a), p15(INK4b), p18(INK4c) and p19(INK4d) comprise a family of cyclin-dependent kinase inhibitors and tumor suppressors. We report that the INK4 proteins share the ability to arrest cells in G1, and interact with CDK4 or CDK6 with similar avidity. In contrast, only p18 and particularly p19 are phosphorylated in vivo, and each of the human INK4 proteins shows unique expression patterns dependent on cell and tissue type, and differentiation stage. Thus, the INK4 proteins harbor redundant as well as non-overlapping properties, suggesting distinct regulatory modes, and diverse roles for the individual INK4 family members in cell cycle control, cellular differentiation, and multistep oncogenesis.

HTLV-1 tax oncoprotein represses the p53-mediated trans-activation function through coactivator CBP sequestration.

The human T-cell leukemia virus type 1 (HTLV-1) Tax oncoprotein repressed the transcriptional activity of wild-type p53 through its N-terminal trans-activation domain. Although Tax did not directly bind to p53, this repression required the activation of CREB pathway by Tax. In contrast to a recent report by Pise-Masison et al. (1998a, b) we found that the phosphorylation of p53 on Ser 15 is not a major cause of the Tax-mediated inactivation of p53. However, Tax with a mutation in the coactivator CBP-binding site (K88A), which activates NF-kappaB but not the CREB pathway, could not repress the p53 trans-activation function. Moreover, Tax inhibited p53 binding to CBP in vitro and inhibited synergistic activation of transcription by CBP and p53. Thus, Tax is likely to compete with p53 in binding with CBP, thereby repressing its trans-activation function.

Attenuation of interleukin-8 production by inhibiting nuclear factor-kappaB translocation using decoy oligonucleotides.

Interleukin-8 (IL-8), a monocyte-derived neutrophil chemoattractant factor, is a polymorphonuclear neutrophil chemotaxin that is involved in a number of inflammatory disorders. Transcription of the IL-8 gene is controlled by regulatory proteins, including nuclear factor-kappaB (NF-kappaB), a family of proteins that is important in the transcriptional control of a number of genes. When cells are activated, NF-kappaB translocates from the cytoplasm to the nucleus, where it activates transcription by binding to a specific sequence within the 5' untranslated region of the gene. During translocation, NF-kappaB is potentially susceptible to diversion by oligonucleotides that contain the binding sequence for this protein. In the current study, we produced phosphorothioate-modified oligonucleotides containing the specific DNA sequence that NF-kappaB binds within the IL-8 gene. We then investigated the effects of transfection of monocytes with these oligonucleotides on interleukin-1beta (IL-1beta)-stimulated IL-8 production, IL-8 mRNA expression, and NF-kappaB binding activity. We found that transfection with these oligonucleotides significantly inhibited monocyte IL-8 production. A single-stranded oligonucleotide with two copies of the NF-kappaB-binding sequence was the most potent of those tested. This single-stranded oligonucleotide also inhibited IL-1beta-induced translocation of NF-kappaB to the nucleus and reduced IL-8 mRNA expression. These studies demonstrated that monocyte production of IL-8 can be attenuated using a single-stranded oligonucleotide that binds a transcriptional activating protein before it translocates to the cell nucleus. This approach ultimately may be useful in the control of inflammation involved in a number of diseases.
