Comparison of proteoglycans synthesized by porcine normal and polycystic renal tubular epithelial cells in vitro
- King's College London (England)
Newly synthesized porcine tubular epithelial cell proteoglycans were labeled in vitro with Na2(35S)SO4. At the beginning of the labeling period (24 h) (35S) sulfate incorporated into macromolecules was measured following PD-10 chromatography. There was a significant reduction in the amount of 35S-labeled macromolecules isolated from polycystic cells compared to that from normal cells. The distribution of recovered radiolabeled material among the medium, cell surface, and intracellular fractions was similar for both normal and polycystic cells. Analysis of the proteoglycans in polycystic cells demonstrated that 86 and 73% of 35S-labeled macromolecules were of the heparan sulfate type in polycystic and normal cells, respectively. The remainder was chondroitin sulfate. Proteoglycans were characterized using DEAE-Sephacel ion-exchange chromatography, chondroitinase ABC, heparitinase, and nitrous acid digestion followed by Sepharose CL-4B gel permeation chromatography. The majority of radiolabeled material in the medium, cell surface, and intracellular fractions eluted between 0.35 and 0.39 M NaCl. However, a second peak (peak II) that eluted at 0.25 M NaCl was found in the medium from polycystic cells. This peak accounted for 27% of the total macromolecules secreted into the medium. Proteoglycans in the major peak were susceptible to nitrous acid and chondroitinase ABC digestion. A similar proportion of peak II was degraded by chondroitinase ABC. However, the remainder was only slightly susceptible to treatment with nitrous acid or heparitase. In normal cells a small amount of material eluted at a similar low charge; the proteoglycans were the same as those found in the major peak and appeared as a shoulder on this peak.
