Pancreatic adenocarcinoma, chronic pancreatitis, and MODY-8 diabetes: is bile salt-dependent lipase (or carboxyl ester lipase) at the crossroads of pancreatic pathologies?

Abstract
Pancreatic adenocarcinomas and diabetes mellitus are responsible for the deaths of around two million people each year worldwide. Patients with chronic pancreatitis do not die directly of this disease, except where the pathology is hereditary. Much current literature supports the involvement of bile salt-dependent lipase (BSDL), also known as carboxyl ester lipase (CEL), in the pathophysiology of these pancreatic diseases. The purpose of this review is to shed light on connections between chronic pancreatitis, diabetes, and pancreatic adenocarcinomas by gaining an insight into BSDL and its variants. This enzyme is normally secreted by the exocrine pancreas, and is diverted within the intestinal lumen to participate in the hydrolysis of dietary lipids. However, BSDL is also expressed by other cells and tissues, where it participates in lipid homeostasis. Variants of BSDL resulting from germline and/or somatic mutations (nucleotide insertion/deletion or nonallelic homologous recombination) are expressed in the pancreas of patients with pancreatic pathologies such as chronic pancreatitis, MODY-8, and pancreatic adenocarcinomas. We discuss the possible link between the expression of BSDL variants and these dramatic pancreatic pathologies, putting forward the suggestion that BSDL and its variants are implicated in the cell lipid metabolism/reprogramming that leads to the dyslipidemia observed in chronic pancreatitis, MODY-8, and pancreatic adenocarcinomas. We also propose potential strategies for translation to therapeutic applications.

Abstract
Oncofetal fucose-rich glycovariants of the pathological bile salt-dependent lipase (pBSDL) appear during human pancreatic oncogenesis and are detected by themonoclonal antibody J28 (mAbJ28). We aimed to identify murine counterparts onpancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma (PDAC) cells and tissue and investigate the potential of dendritic cells (DC) loaded with this unique pancreatic tumor antigen to promote immunotherapy in preclinical trials. Pathological BSDLs purified from pancreatic juices of patients with PDAC were cleaved to generate glycosylated C-terminal moieties (C-ter) containing mAbJ28-reactive glycoepitopes. Immunoreactivity of the murine PDAC line Panc02 and tumor tissue to mAbJ28 was detected by immunohistochemistry and flow cytometry. C-ter-J28+ immunization promoted Th1-dominated immune responses. In vitro C-ter-J28+-loaded DCskewed CD3+ T-cells toward Th1 polarization. C-ter-J28+-DC-vaccinations selectively enhanced cell immunoreactivity to Panc02, as demonstrated by CD4+- and CD8+-T-cell activation, increased percentages of CD4+- and CD8+-T-cells and NK1.1+ cells expressing granzyme B, and T-cell cytotoxicity. Prophylactic and therapeutic C-ter-J28+-DC-vaccinations reduced ectopic Panc02-tumor growth, provided long-lasting protection from Panc02-tumor development in 100% of micebut not from melanoma, and attenuated progression of orthotopic tumors as revealed by MRI. Thusmurine DC loaded with pancreatic tumor-specific glycoepitope C-ter-J28+ induce efficient anticancer adaptive immunity and represent a potential adjuvant therapy for patients afflicted with PDAC.

Abstract
The mAb16D10 was raised against a pathological onco-glycoform of bile salt-dependent lipase isolated from the pancreatic juice of a patient suffering from a pancreatic adenocarcinoma. We previously showed that mAb16D10 specifically discriminates human pancreatic tumor tissues from other cancer and nontumor tissues. In this study, we report that mAb16D10 inhibited the proliferation of only human pancreatic tumor cells expressing 16D10 plasma membrane Ag. Interaction of mAb16D10 with its cognate surface Ag on pancreatic cells promoted cell death by activation of the p53- and caspase-dependent apoptotic pathway, and silencing of p53 decreased cell death. The decreased proliferation was also partly due to cell cycle arrest in G1/S phase, mAb16D10 triggering of glycogen synthase kinase-3β (GSK-3β) activation, degradation of β-catenin, and decreased expression of cyclin D1. GSK-3β positively affected p53 expression in pancreatic tumor cells after mAb16D10 binding. Inhibition of GSK-3β activity reversed the effects induced by mAb16D10 in SOJ-6 cells, supporting the pivotal role of GSK-3β signaling in the mechanisms of action induced by mAb16D10. Also, mAb16D10 cell treatment led to membrane overexpression of E-cadherin. Both E-cadherin and tumor Ag were localized in membrane lipid cholesterol-rich microdomains and are thought to belong to signaling platforms involved in the induction of cell cycle arrest and cell death. Overall, this study reveals that mAb16D10 holds great potential to prevent pancreatic tumor proliferation by apoptotic cell death, thus promising therapeutic prospects for treatment of pancreatic adenocarcinoma, a highly lethal disease.

Abstract
Aberrant glycosylation or overexpression of cell-surface glycosylated tumor-associated Ags (TAA) distinguish neoplastic from normal cells. Interactions of TAA MUC1 and HER2/neu with dendritic cells (DC) preclude efficient processing, which impairs immune responses. It is thus important to define the mechanisms of interactions between DC and glycosylated TAA and their trafficking and processing for further T cell activation. In this work, we study interactions between DC and the oncofetal fucose-rich glycovariants of bile salt-dependent lipase (BSDL), expressed in pancreatic cancer tissues and referred to as pathological BSDL carrying the fucosylated J28 glycotope (pBSDL-J28) because it is characterized by the mAb J28. The expression of pBSDL-J28 was assessed by immunohistochemistry and quantified by confocal microscopy. Nontumoral pancreatic tissues and cells do not express pBSDL-J28. Using multidisciplinary approaches and functional studies, we provide the first evidence, to our knowledge, that this tumoral glycoprotein is rapidly internalized by human DC through macropinocytosis and endocytosis via mannose receptors and then transported to late endosomes for processing. Interestingly, pBSDL-J28 per se induced DC maturation with increased expression of costimulatory and CD83 molecules associated with cytokine secretion (IL-8 and IL-6). Surprisingly, DC retained their full ability to internalize Ags, making this maturation atypical. Finally, the allogeneic pBSDL-J28-treated DC stimulated lymphocyte proliferation. Besides, pulsing DC with pBSDL-J28 C-terminal glycopolypeptide and maturation with CD40L triggered CD4(+) and CD8(+) T cell proliferation. Therefore, interactions of pBSDL-J28, expressed on tumoral pancreatic tissue, with DC may lead to adequate Ag trafficking and processing and result in T cell activation.

Abstract
In human pancreatic adenocarcinoma, alterations of glycosylation processes leads to the expression of tumor-associated carbohydrate antigens, representing potential targets for cancer immunotherapy. Among these pancreatic tumor-associated carbohydrate antigens, the J28 glycotope located within the O-glycosylated mucin-like C-terminal domain of the fetoacinar pancreatic protein (FAPP) and expressed at the surface of human tumoral tissues, can be a good target for anticancer therapeutic vaccines. However, the oncodevelopmental self character of the J28 glycotope associated with the low immunogenicity of tumor-associated carbohydrate antigens may be a major obstacle to effective anti-tumor vaccine therapy. In this study, we have investigated a method to increase the immunogenicity of the recombinant pancreatic oncofetal J28 glycotope by glycoengineering Galalpha1,3Galss1,4GlcNAc-R (alphaGal epitope) which may be recognized by natural anti-alphaGal antibody present in humans. For this purpose, we have developed a stable Chinese hamster ovary cell clone expressing the alphaGal epitope by transfecting the cDNA encoding the alpha1,3galactosyltransferase. These cells have been previously equipped to produce the recombinant O-glycosylated C-terminal domain of FAPP carrying the J28 glycotope. As a consequence, the C-terminal domain of FAPP produced by these cells carries the alphaGal epitope on oligosaccharide structures associated with the J28 glycotope. Furthermore, we show that this recombinant "alpha1,3galactosyl and J28 glycotope" may not only be targeted by human natural anti-alphaGal antibodies but also by the mAbJ28, suggesting that the J28 glycotope remains accessible to the immune system as vaccinating agent. This approach may be used for many identified tumor-associated carbohydrate antigens which can be glycoengineered to carry a alphaGal epitope to increase their immunogenicity and to develop therapeutic vaccines.

Abstract
Feto-acinar pancreatic protein (FAPP) characterized by mAbJ28 reactivity is a specific component associated with ontogenesis and behaves as an oncodevelopment-associated antigen. We attempted to determine whether pancreatic tumoral SOJ-6 cells are expressed at their surface FAPP antigens and to examine if specific antibodies directed against these FAPP epitopes could decrease the growth of pancreatic tumors in a mice model. For this purpose, we used specific antibodies against either the whole FAPP, the O-glycosylated C-terminal domain, or the N-terminal domain of the protein. Our results indicate that SOJ-6 cells expressed at their surface a 32-kDa peptide corresponding to the C-terminal domain of the FAPP. Furthermore, we show, by using endoproteinase Lys-C or geldanamycin, a drug able to impair the FAPP secretion, that this 32-kDa peptide expressed on the SOJ-6 cell surface comes from the degradation of the FAPP. Finally, an in vivo prospective study using a preventative tumor model in nude mice indicates that targeting this peptide by the use of mAb16D10 inhibits the growth of SOJ-6 xenografts. The specificity of mAb16D10 for pancreatic tumors and the possibility to obtain recombinant structures of mucin-like peptides recognized by mAb16D10 and mAbJ28 are promising tools in immunologic approaches to cure pancreatic cancers.

Abstract
Carboxyl ester lipase (CEL) is involved in the hydrolysis and absorption of dietary lipids, but it is largely unknown to what extent CEL could be involved in determining the serum lipid levels. The C-terminal part of CEL consists of a unique structure with proline-rich O-glycosylated repeats of 11 amino-acid residues each. The common variant of the human CEL gene contains 16 proline-rich repeats, but there is a high degree of polymorphism in the repeated region. While the biological function of the polymorphic repeat region is unknown, it has been suggested that it may be important for protein stability and/or secretion of the enzyme. Given that the polymorphism in the repeated region may affect the functionality of the protein, this study aimed to investigate whether the number of repeated units is correlated to serum lipid phenotype. Comparison of CEL repeat genotype and serum lipid phenotype revealed an association between the number of repeats and serum cholesterol profile. Individuals carrying at least one allele with fewer than the common 16 repeats had significantly lower total and low-density lipoprotein (LDL) cholesterol levels compared to individuals carrying two common alleles. This gives support to the notion that CEL may be involved in determining the plasma lipid composition.

Abstract
The apparent molecular mass of human milk bile salt-stimulated lipase (BSSL) varies between mothers. The molecular basis for this is unknown, but indirect evidence has suggested the differences to reside in a region of repeats located in the C-terminal part of the protein. We here report that a polymorphism within exon 11 of the BSSL gene is the explanation for the molecular variants of BSSL found in milk. By Southern blot hybridization we analyzed the BSSL gene from mothers known to have BSSL of different molecular masses in their milk. A polymorphism was found within exon 11, previously shown to consist of 16 near identical repeats of 33 bp each. We detected deletions or, in one case, an insertion corresponding to the variation in molecular mass of the BSSL protein found in milk from the respective woman. Furthermore, we found that 56%, out of 295 individuals studied, carry deletions or insertions within exon 11 in one or both alleles of the BSSL gene. Hence, this is a hypervariable region and the current understanding that exon 11 in the human BSSL gene encodes 16 repeats is an oversimplification and needs to be revisited. Natural variation in the molecular mass of BSSL may have clinical implications.

Abstract
This work describes the characterization of an immunoreactive form of bile salt-dependent lipase (BSDL) expressed by the human pancreatic tumoral Mia PaCa-2 cell line. This BSDL-related protein, which has an M(r) of 70 kDa, is enzymatically active and poorly secreted. Furthermore, a protein with the same electrophoretic migration can also be immunoprecipitated with polyclonal antibodies specific for the human pancreatic BSDL after in vitro translation of RNA isolated from Mia PaCa-2 cells. These data indicated that this BSDL-related protein might be poorly, or not, glycosylated. Reverse transcription and amplification of RNA extracted from Mia PaCa-2 cells using primers able to specifically amplify the full-length mRNA of the human BSDL resulted in a detectable 1.8-kb cDNA product, shorter than that of BSDL (2.2 kb). The sequence of this transcript corresponds to the mRNA sequence that codes for the mature human pancreatic BSDL. However, a deletion of 330 bp is located within the 3'-domain of this cDNA. Therefore data allowed us to conclude that the 70-kDa BSDL-related protein is a 612 amino acid length protein and represents a truncated form of BSDL. The deletion of 110 amino acids occurs in the C-terminal region of the protein, which encompasses 6 tandemly repeated sequences instead of the 16 normally present in the sequence of BSDL. Because feto-acinar pancreatic protein (FAPP), which is the oncofetal counterpart of BSDL, is a C-terminally truncated isoform of BSDL, it is suggested that the 70-kDa BSDL-related protein expressed in MiaPaCa-2 cells could be representative of the protein moiety of FAPP.

Abstract
The feto-acinar pancreatic protein or FAPP, the oncofetal glycoisoform of bile salt-dependent lipase (BSDL), is characterized by the presence of the J28 glycotope recognized by mAbJ28. This fucosylated epitope is carried out by the O-linked glycans of the C-terminal mucin-like region of BSDL. This glycotope is expressed by human tumoral pancreatic tissues and by human pancreatic tumoral cell lines such as SOJ-6 and BxPC-3 cells. However, it is not expressed by the normal human pancreatic tissues and by MiaPaCa-2 and Panc-1 cells. Due to the presence of many putative sites for O-glycosylation on FAPP and BSDL, the structure of the J28 glycotope cannot be attained by classical physical methods. In the first part of the present study, we have determined which glycosyltransferases were differently expressed in pancreatic tumoral cell lines compared to normal tissues, focusing in part on fucosyltransferases (Fuc-T) and core-2 beta6-N-acetylglucosaminyltransferase (Core2GlcNAc-T). Our data suggested that alpha2-Fuc-T activity was decreased in the four cell lines tested (SOJ-6, BxPC-3, MiaPaCa-2, and Panc-1). The alpha(1-3) and alpha(1-4) fucosylations were decreased in tumor cells that do not express the J28 glycotope whereas alpha4-Fuc-T and Core2GlcNAc-T activities were significantly increased in SOJ-6 cells which best expressed the J28 glycotope. Therefore, we wished to gain information about glycosyltransferases involved in the building of this structure by transfecting the cDNA encoding the mucin-like region of BSDL in CHO-K1 also expressing Core2GlcNAc-T and/or FUT3 and/or FUT7 activities. These CHO-K1 cells have been previously transfected with the cDNA encoding Core2GlcNAc-T and/or FUT3 and/or FUT7. Data indicated that the C-terminal peptide of BSDL (Cter) produced by those cells did not carry out the J28 glycotope unless Core2GlcNAc-T activity is present. Further transfection with FUT3 cDNA, increased the antibody recognition. Nevertheless, transfection with FUT3 or FUT7 alone did not generate the formation of the J28 glycotope on the C-terminal peptide. Furthermore, the Cter peptide produced by CHO-K1 cells expressing Core2GlcNAc-T was more reactive to the mAbJ28 after in vitro fucosylation with the recombinant soluble form of FUT3. These data suggested that the J28 glycotope encompasses structures initiated by Core2GlcNAc-T and further fucosylated by alpha3/4-Fuc-T such as FUT3, likely on GlcNAc residues.

Abstract
Specific transcripts for bile salt-dependent lipase (BSDL), a 100-kDa glycoprotein secreted by the human pancreas, were immunodetected in BxPC-3 and SOJ-6 pancreatic tumoral cell lines. Sequencing of fragments, obtained by mRNA reverse transcription and amplification, confirmed the presence of BSDL transcripts in these cancer cells. The protein was detected in lysates of pancreatic tumoral cells, where it was mainly associated with membranes. Only a minute amount of the enzyme was detected in the culture media. Immunofluorescence studies demonstrated that in SOJ-6 cells, BSDL colocates with the p58 Golgi protein and suggested that the protein may be sequestrated within the Golgi compartment. These results demonstrated that BSDL is expressed in human pancreatic tumoral cells and cannot be secreted (or for the least very poorly). Subsequently, a cDNA covering the entire sequence of BSDL was obtained by reverse transcription-polymerase chain reaction. The sequence of this cDNA indicated that the N-terminal domain encoded by exons 1-10 was identical to that of BSDL expressed by the human normal pancreas. However, the sequence corresponding to exon 11, which should code for the 16 tandem-repeated identical mucin-like sequences of BSDL, was deleted by 330 base pairs (bp) and encoded only 6 of these repeated sequences. We conclude that this truncated variant of BSDL would be its oncofetal form, referred to as feto-acinar pancreatic protein. We then investigated whether the deletion of 330 bp affected the secretion of the protein. For this purpose, the cDNA corresponding to the mature form of the BSDL variant expressed in SOJ-6 cells was cloned into an expression/secretion vector and transfected into CHO-K1 cells. Results indicated that the variant of BSDL isolated from SOJ-6 cells was expressed and secreted by transfected cells. However, the level of BSDL secreted by these transfected CHO-K1 cells was significantly higher than that observed for SOJ-6 cells. Consequently, the retention of the oncofetal variant of BSDL observed in human pancreatic tumoral cells might not result from inherent properties of the protein.

Abstract
Pure human pancreatic bile-salt-dependent lipase, devoid of its oncofetal glycoform [Mas, E., Abouakil, N., Roudani, S., Miralles, F., Guy-Crotte., O., Figarella, C., Escribano, M. J. & Lombardo, D. (1993) Biochem. J. 289, 609-615], was analyzed on immobilized concanavalin A (ConA). Two variants were separated: an unabsorbed ConA-unreactive fraction; and an absorbed ConA-reactive fraction. Carbohydrate compositions of ConA-reactive and ConA-unreactive fractions were not significantly different, and analysis of 3H-labelled oligosaccharides liberated from these fractions on the ConA-Sepharose column indicated that the fractionation of the bile-salt-dependent lipase on this column depends upon oligosaccharide structures. The activity of the ConA-reactive fraction was however much lower, independent of the substrate (4-nitrophenyl hexanoate or cholesteryl esters), than that of the ConA-unreactive fraction. Therefore, catalytic constants for the hydrolysis of 4-nitrophenyl hexanoate were determined; both fractions had quite similar Km, while the kcat for the ConA-unreactive fraction was 3-4-fold higher than that of the ConA-reactive fraction. ConA-reactive and ConA-unreactive fractions were shown to have slightly different molecular masses and different amino acid compositions. Cleavage patterns after cyanogen bromide treatment of the ConA-reactive and ConA-unreactive fractions suggested that the ConA-reactive (high Mr form) and ConA-unreactive (low Mr form) forms could be different isoforms of the bile-salt-dependent lipase secreted by the human pancreas.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Very few studies have been reported on the expression of human pancreatic genes during fetal development. We have shown very low lipase immunoreactivity compared with elevated trypsinogen immunoreactivity in a previous immunohistological study of human fetal pancreas during development. METHODS The expression of these two selectively expressed genes of the exocrine pancreas, trypsinogen and lipase were investigated. The developmental profiles of the corresponding mRNA's were determined from the 13th gestational week. RESULTS For the two genes, fetal mRNA levels throughout gestation remained significantly lower than the corresponding adult levels. No correlation was found between trypsinogen and lipase gene expression in the fetal pancreas, whereas such a correlation was present in adult pancreas. This may be explained by differences in maturity of the pancreas.

Abstract
The amount of mRNA hybridizing to bile salt-dependent lipase and to colipase-dependent lipase probes as well as their translation into active proteins were quantified in the adult and newborn pancreas and lactating mammary gland from the ferret, a species whose milk, similar to that of the human, has bile salt-dependent lipase. The concentration of colipase-dependent lipase mRNA correlated with the amount of activity found in the adult and newborn pancreas, whereas neither mRNA nor activity of this enzyme was detected in the kit pancreas or in the lactating mammary gland. These data indicate that colipase-dependent lipase is actually expressed in adult pancreas and might represent the main lipolytic system in the adult. mRNA hybridizing to the bile salt-dependent lipase probe used in this study were detected in adult and in newborn ferret pancreas as well as in lactating mammary gland. However, the bile salt-dependent lipase activity expressed in the newborn pancreas was very low when compared with the activity expressed either in the mammary gland or in the adult pancreas. These data argue for a compensatory role of milk bile salt-dependent lipase in lipid digestion in the newborn. The hydrolysis of dietary fat might be initiated by preduodenal lipase, the activity of which is only two times lower in the gastric mucosa of the newborn than in the adult ferret. The high concentration of mRNA hybridizing to the bile salt-dependent lipase probe associated with a very poor bile salt-dependent lipase activity and protein suggests either that these mRNA are very unstable or that they are poorly translated into an active pancreatic bile salt-dependent lipase.

Abstract
In human fetal pancreas, we identified two cDNA transcripts of the bile salt-dependent lipase (BSDL) using reverse transcription followed by polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR). The sequence of four overlapping segments obtained by RT-PCR matched the sequence of the 2.2 kb cDNA cloned from human adult pancreas (Reue et al. (1991) J. Lipid Res. 32, 267-276). A second RT-PCR product of approx. 1.1 kb was evidenced, the sequence of which corresponds to that of the BSDL-pseudogene transcript (Nilsson et al. (1993) Genomics, 17, 416-422). The short transcript is present in all tissues examined whereas the former one (2.2 kb) is either poorly (in liver and kidney) or not at all expressed in adult tissues, excepted in the pancreas. On the other hand, the 2.2 kb transcript specific of the BSDL gene was detected in all fetal tissues examined as early as the 6th week of gestation. Results also suggested that the fetal pancreas contains more 2.2 kb transcript than its adult counterpart. Therewith, BSDL was immuno-precipitated from fetal liver. The role of BSDL-gene expression during the fetal life is discussed.

Abstract
Immunolocalization studies indicated that, in contrast to other enzyme markers of human pancreatic secretion, bile-salt-dependent lipase (BSDL) was partly but specifically associated with endoplasmic reticulum membranes. In microsomes, temperature-induced phase separation using Triton X-114 elucidated the partition of BSDL between the aqueous phase and the detergent-rich phase containing hydrophilic and membrane proteins, respectively. The size of the membrane-associated BSDL (approx. 100 kDa) is compatible with that of the fully processed enzyme. Fucosylated O- and N-linked oligosaccharide structures were detected by means of specific lectins. The membrane-associated BSDL might therefore be released from membranes between the trans-Golgi compartment (where terminal fucose residues were added) and the zymogen granules where BSDL was mainly found in the soluble fraction. Even though BSDL associated with membranes was enzymically active, it appeared less efficient than the soluble form. The association of BSDL with membranes was pH-dependent and optimal association occurred between pH 5-6. The membrane-associated BSDL was released by KBr which suggests that the association of BSDL with microsomal membranes involves ionic interactions. Lipid-protein interactions are probably not involved in this association as BSDL did not associate with liver microsome membranes. We attempted to characterize the putative ligand and showed that BSDL and a 94-kDa protein, immunologically related to a glucose-regulated protein of 94 kDa (Grp94), were co-immunoprecipitated by specific antibodies directed against each individual species. It is suggested that the biogenesis of the human pancreatic BSDL involves an association with intracellular membranes and that its folding may be assisted by molecular chaperones.

Abstract
In its fundamental attributes, the secretion pathway of the pancreatic bile salt-dependent lipase (BSDL) followed that described for all enzymes involved in regulated secretion. This route was inhibited by drugs that affect protein synthesis and intracellular transport. In the presence of monensin, BSDL was solely detected in microsome membrane fractions. The association of BSDL with intracellular membranes involved a protein complex, formed by at least two proteins of 94 and 56 kDa. In cells experiencing the metabolic stress due to azetidine-2-carboxylic acid, BSDL was additionally associated with a protein of 46 kDa. Affinity blotting showed that BSDL bound directly to the 94-kDa protein (p94). It was suggested that p94 could be a molecular chaperone, further identified as related to the 94-kDa glucose regulated protein (Grp 94). The membrane-associated BSDL (i.e. BSDL bound to the Grp 94-related p94) was O- and N-glycosylated and consequently appeared released from membranes in the trans-Golgi compartment. Therefore and for the first time, it is suggested that a multiprotein complex including the chaperone Grp 94-related p94 protein may play an essential role in the folding and transport of BSDL. One hypothesis is that the association of BSDL with membrane via the Grp 94-related p94 along its secretion pathway is required for its complete O-glycosylation, which occurs on the extended mucin-like structures present on the C-terminal part of the protein.

Abstract
Glycoproteins of human pancreatic juice were characterized by means of lectins after electrophoresis and electrotransfer to nitrocellulose membranes. For the detected glycoproteins, only a 100-kDa glycoprotein varied in the pancreatic juice from a normal patient (i.e. without any pancreatic disorder) compared to the pancreatic juice from a patient suffering from chronic pancreatitis. This protein, which is the only protein in human pancreatic juice which is O-glycosylated and N-glycosylated, was identified as the bile-salt-dependent lipase. Among the glycosylated proteins present in human pancreatic juice, only the glycosylation of bile-salt-dependent lipase differs between individuals. The enzyme was isolated either from normal or pathological human pancreatic juices. The purified variants have an identical molecular mass and amino-acid composition. As suspected from lectin affinity studies, the oligosaccharide composition differs between the variants. The structure of the N-linked oligosaccharides of the variant from the pancreatic juice of a normal donor correlated with complete processing and maturation of a complex-type N-glycan. Alteration of the maturation process can be detected for a bile-salt-dependent-lipase variant from a patient suffering with chronic pancreatitis, since the carbohydrate composition is compatible with the predominance of hybrid or high-mannose-type structures. The amount of sugar involved in O-glycosylation associated with the peanut agglutinin reactivity suggests the presence of 12-14 minimal Gal beta 1-->3GalNac-->T/S O-glycan structures which are sialylated and fucosylated. The amount of sugar involved in the O-linked oligosaccharide structure appears to be unchanged in the variants isolated from the pathological pancreatic juice.

Abstract
This study describes the structure of the N-linked oligosaccharide chains of bile-salt-dependent lipase isolated from the pancreatic juice of a normal donor. After hydrazinolysis, neutral sugar chains were separated from acidic chains by paper electrophoresis and were fractionated using serial column chromatography with immobilized lectins and Bio-Gel P-4 filtration. Structural analysis was performed by means of sequential glycosidase digestion and revealed that the neutral sugar chains are mainly of the biantennary complex type. Fucose residues were identified for some trimannosyl core structures and were alpha(1-6) or alpha(1-2) linked to the innermost GlcNAc residue and a terminal Gal residue, respectively. Sialyl residues were also involved in the oligosaccharide structures. Most of these structures have no linear N-acetyllactosamine repeats. Evidence from several approaches suggests that the sugar chains of the human pancreatic bile-salt-dependent lipase possess a blood-group-related antigenic determinant.

Abstract
We have studied, by immunohistochemical methods using specific antisera, the development of three glycoproteins of human pancreatic secretion: lipase, carboxyl ester hydrolase (CEH) and the P19 protein (precursor of the non glycosylated protein X or "pancreatic thread/stone protein"). We have compared their development to that of trypsinogens (Tgs) and chymotrypsinogen A (ChTgA), as well as to that of FAP (feto acinar pancreatic protein), a glycoprotein associated with the differentiation of human pancreas. Our studies show the characteristic appearance and development of lipase, the immunoreactivity of which appears later (at the 21st week of pregnancy) than it does for Tgs and ChTg (at the 16th week of pregnancy). Moreover, the lipase labelling is first observed in a few acini dispersed in the pancreas and then spreads out progressively to be present in all the acini after the age of 15 days. By contrast, as soon as they appear, Tgs and ChTg are observed uniformly in all acinar cells. The intensities of the lipase, Tgs and ChTg labellings increase greatly at birth. The ontogenesis of CEH does not follow that of lipase but that of Tgs and ChTg. The ontogenesis of P19 is parallel to that of Tgs. As previously observed, FAP presents a maximal immunoreactivity at the 24th-27th weeks of pregnancy, which decreases slowly up until birth.

Abstract
We describe the in vivo localization of radiolabeled mAb J28, a murine monoclonal antibody characterizing the oncodevelopmental human fetoacinar pancreatic (FAP) protein, at different stages of chemical induction of pancreatic tumors in the Syrian golden hamster. Before doing localization studies in this model, we looked at the cross-reactivity of mAb J28. Semiquantitative dot-blot analysis demonstrated that the antigen recognized in hamster pancreas has an oncodevelopmental expression pattern, while a molecular mass identical to that of human FAP was deduced from sodium dodecyl sulfate/polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis/nitrocellulose immunoblot. 125I-labeled mAb J28 was administered through micro-osmotic pumps to hamsters treated with N-nitrosobis(2-hydroxypropyl)amine (BHP). This was done at three intervals that roughly correspond to the latent period, pretumoral stages, and terminal cancerogenesis in two independent groups of hamsters. Both studies allowed similar results: (a) mAb J28 accumulated almost specifically in the pancreas; (b) maximal accumulation was associated with pleomorphic alterations of the acinar cell tissue at pretumoral stages; (c) no accumulation was found in the case of adenocarcinoma of the pancreas. It is concluded that FAP behaves as a marker of preneoplastic lesions, and therefore that radioimmunoimaging with mAb J28 might help with early diagnosis of pancreatic cancer.

Abstract
A human pancreatic adenocarcinoma lambda gt11 expression library was differentially screened with mRNA derived from normal and cancerous pancreatic tissues. Five clones preferentially hybridized with pancreatic adenocarcinoma mRNA. cDNA inserts from 4 of these clones were amplified by PCR, labelled with alpha 32P and used in Northern blot analysis against mRNA prepared from a variety of tumour and normal tissues. lambda GER-4 identified a pancreas-associated mRNA (greater than 10 kb) with no homology with known sequences at either the nucleic or amino-acid level. lambda GER-2 identified a 1.7-kb mRNA transcript that was over-expressed in mRNA prepared from pancreas, colon, breast, lung and gastric tumours relative to normal tissues. Sequence analysis and restriction-enzyme mapping showed that this clone was completely homologous with the active form of human elongation factor EF-1 alpha. This high level of EF-1 alpha-mRNA expression in tumour tissues lends support to the increasing evidence that EF-1 alpha is an important regulator of the cell cycle.

Abstract
When the classical amino acid esterification procedure was used for the biotinylation of the IgG1 monoclonal antibody J28 it resulted in a loss of immunological activity. This antibody recognizes the fetoacinar pancreatic (FAP) antigen and the decrease in reactivity was directly proportional to the molar biotin/antibody ratio indicating substitutions at or near the antibody combining site. This effect was specific to J28 since the IgG1 Mab F22 which recognises the same antigen was not damaged by this procedure. Active Mab J28 conjugates were obtained using biotinylation via oligosaccharide moieties. The biotinylation efficiency using this method was dependent on the previous degree of antibody periodate oxidation and the maximal substitution was 3 mol biotin per mol of antibody. Using these conditions the sensitivity of the biotinylated J28 for the FAP antigen was similar to that obtained when using non-substituted antibody in the two antibodies technique.
