Abstract
Structure-activity studies of 4-substituted-2,5-dimethoxyphenethylamines led to the discovery of 2,5-dimethoxy-4-thiotrifluoromethylphenethylamines, including CYB210010, a potent and long-acting serotonin 5-HT2 receptor agonist. CYB210010 exhibited high agonist potency at 5-HT2A and 5-HT2C receptors, modest selectivity over 5-HT2B, 5-HT1A, 5-HT6, and adrenergic α2A receptors, and lacked activity at monoamine transporters and over 70 other proteins. CYB210010 (0.1-3 mg/kg) elicited a head-twitch response (HTR) and could be administered subchronically at threshold doses without behavioral tolerance. CYB210010 was orally bioavailable in three species, readily and preferentially crossed into the CNS, engaged frontal cortex 5-HT2A receptors, and increased the expression of genes involved in neuroplasticity in the frontal cortex. CYB210010 represents a new tool molecule for investigating the therapeutic potential of 5-HT2 receptor activation. In addition, several other compounds with high 5-HT2A receptor potency, yet with little or no HTR activity, were discovered, providing the groundwork for the development of nonpsychedelic 5-HT2A receptor ligands.

Abstract
Tartrate-resistant acid phosphatase (TRAP) is well known as an osteoclast marker; however, a recent study from our group demonstrated enhanced number of TRAP + osteocytes as well as enhanced levels of TRAP located to intracellular vesicles in osteoblasts and osteocytes in experimental osteoporosis in rats. Such vesicles were especially abundant in osteoblasts and osteocytes in cancellous bone as well as close to bone surface and intracortical remodeling sites. To further investigate TRAP in osteoblasts and osteocytes, long bones from young, growing rats were examined. Immunofluorescence confocal microscopy displayed co-localization of TRAP with receptor activator of NF-KB ligand (RANKL) and osteoprotegerin (OPG) in hypertrophic chondrocytes and diaphyseal osteocytes with Pearson's correlation coefficient ≥0.8. Transmission electron microscopy showed co-localization of TRAP and RANKL in lysosomal-associated membrane protein 1 (LAMP1) + vesicles in osteoblasts and osteocytes supporting the results obtained by confocal microscopy. Recent in vitro data have demonstrated OPG as a traffic regulator for RANKL to LAMP1 + secretory lysosomes in osteoblasts and osteocytes, which seem to serve as temporary storage compartments for RANKL. Our in situ observations indicate that TRAP is located to RANKL-/OPG-positive secretory lysosomes in osteoblasts and osteocytes, which may have implications for osteocyte regulation of osteoclastogenesis.

Abstract
Inherited bleeding disorders are especially problematic for affected girls and women due to the monthly occurrence of menstrual periods and the effects on reproductive health. Although heavy menstrual bleeding (HMB) is the most common manifestation, females with inherited bleeding disorders (FBD) experience other bleeding symptoms throughout the lifespan that can lead to increased morbidity and impairment of daily activities. The purpose of this article is to describe the utility of a female-focused surveillance effort [female Universal Data Collection (UDC) project] in the United States Haemophilia Treatment Centres (HTCs) and to describe the baseline frequency and spectrum of diagnoses and outcomes. All FBD aged 2 years and older receiving care at selected HTCs were eligible for enrollment. Demographic data, diagnoses and historical data regarding bleeding symptoms, treatments, gynaecological abnormalities and obstetrical outcomes were analysed. Analyses represent data collected from 2009 to 2010. The most frequent diagnoses were type 1 von Willebrand's disease (VWD) (195/319; 61.1%), VWD type unknown (49/319; 15.4%) and factor VIII deficiency (40/319; 12.5%). HMB was the most common bleeding symptom (198/253; 78.3%); however, 157 (49.2%) participants reported greater than four symptoms. Oral contraceptives were used most frequently to treat HMB (90/165; 54.5%), followed by desmopressin [1-8 deamino-D-arginine vasopressin (DDAVP)] (56/165; 33.9%). Various pregnancy and childbirth complications were reported, including bleeding during miscarriage (33/43; 76.7%) and postpartum haemorrhage (PPH) (41/109; 37.6%). FBD experience multiple bleeding symptoms and obstetrical-gynaecological morbidity. The female UDC is the first prospective, longitudinal surveillance in the US focusing on FBD and has the potential to further identify complications and reduce adverse outcomes in this population.

Abstract
Hrs, an essential tyrosine kinase substrate, has been implicated in intracellular trafficking and signal transduction pathways. The protein contains several distinctive domains, including an N-terminal VHS domain, a phosphatidylinositol 3-phosphate (PtdIns(3)P)-binding FYVE domain and two coiled-coil domains. Here we have investigated the roles of these domains in the subcellular localisation of Hrs. Hrs was found to colocalise extensively with EEA1, an established marker of early endosomes. While the membrane association of EEA1 was abolished in the presence of a dominant negative mutant of the endosomal GTPase Rab5, the localisation of Hrs to early endosomes was Rab5 independent. The VHS-domain was nonessential for the subcellular targeting of Hrs. In contrast, the FYVE domain as well as the second coiled-coil domain, which has been shown to bind to SNAP-25, were required for targeting of Hrs to early endosomes. A small construct consisting of only these two domains was correctly localised to early endosomes, whereas a point mutation (R183A) in the PtdIns(3)P-binding pocket of the FYVE domain inhibited the membrane targeting of Hrs. Thus, like EEA1, the endosomal targeting of Hrs is mediated by a PtdIns(3)P-binding FYVE domain in cooperation with an additional domain. We speculate that binding to PtdIns(3)P and a SNAP-25-related molecule may target Hrs specifically to early endosomes.

Abstract
When clathrin-dependent endocytosis is inhibited in HeLa cells by overexpression of a K44A (Lys(44)-->Ala) mutant of the GTPase dynamin, high-affinity binding of epidermal growth factor (EGF) to the EGF receptor (EGFR) is disrupted [Ringerike, Stang, Johannessen, Sandnes, Levy and Madshus (1998) J. Biol. Chem. 273, 16639-16642]. We now report that the effect of [K44A]dynamin on EGF binding was counteracted by incubation with the non-specific kinase inhibitor staurosporine (SSP), implying that a protein kinase is responsible for disrupted high-affinity binding of EGF upon overexpression of [K44A]dynamin. The effect of [K44A]dynamin on EGF binding was not due to altered phosphorylation of the EGFR, suggesting that the activated kinase is responsible for phosphorylation of a substrate other than EGFR. The number of EGFR molecules was increased in cells overexpressing [K44A]dynamin, while the number of proto-oncoprotein ErbB2 molecules was unaltered. EGF-induced receptor dimerization was not influenced by overexpression of [K44A]dynamin. ErbB2-EGFR heterodimer formation was found to be ligand-independent, and the number of heterodimers was not altered by overexpression of [K44A]dynamin. Neither SSP nor the phorbol ester PMA, which disrupts high-affinity EGF-EGFR interaction, had any effect on the EGFR homo- or hetero-dimerization. Furthermore, the EGF-induced tyrosine phosphorylation of ErbB2 was not affected by overexpression of [K44A]dynamin, implying that EGFR-ErbB2 dimers were fully functional. Our results strongly suggest that high-affinity binding of EGF and EGFR-ErbB2 heterodimerization are regulated by different mechanisms.

Abstract
We have previously shown that, although overexpression of mutant dynamin inhibits clathrin-dependent endocytosis and disrupts high affinity binding of epidermal growth factor (EGF) to the EGF receptor (EGFR), it does not inhibit ligand-induced translocation of the EGFR into clathrin-coated pits. In the present study, we demonstrate that, upon ligand binding and incubation at 37 degrees C, the EGFR was polyubiquitinated regardless of overexpression of mutant dynamin. In cells not overexpressing mutant dynamin, the EGFR was rapidly internalized and deubiquitinated. In cells being endocytosis-deficient, due to overexpression of mutant dynamin, however, the EGFR was upon prolonged chase first found in deeply invaginated coated pits, and then eventually moved out of the coated pits and back onto the smooth plasma membrane. Polyubiquitination occurred equally efficiently in cells with or without intact clathrin-dependent endocytosis, while the kinetics of ubiquitination and deubiquitination was somewhat different. We further found that the EGF-induced ubiquitination of Eps15 occurred both in the absence and presence of endocytosis with the same kinetics as polyubiquitination of the EGFR, but that the EGF-induced monoubiquitination of Eps15 was somewhat reduced upon overexpression of mutant dynamin. Our data show that EGF-induced polyubiquitination of the EGFR occurs at the plasma membrane.

Abstract
Whether or not peptide-loading compartments are classical or specialized compartments of the endocytic pathway of antigen presenting cells is still a matter of debate. One way to solve this discrepancy would be to characterize specific markers for the peptide-loading compartment. We chose to generate monoclonal antibodies against the peptide-loading compartment that we previously characterized as lysozyme loading compartment (LLC) [Escola, J.M., Grivel, J.C., Chavrier, P., Gorvel, J.P., 1995. Different endocytic compartments are involved in the tight association of class II molecules with processed hen egg lysozyme and ribonuclease A in B cells. J. Cell Sci. 108, 2337; Escola, J.M., Deleuil, F., Stang, E., Boretto, J., Chavrier, P., Gorvel, J.P., 1996. Characterization of a lysozyme-major histocompatibility complex class II molecule-loading compartment as a specialized recycling endosome in murine B lymphocytes. J. Biol Chem. 271, 27360]. A preliminary screening by dot blot enabled us to identify several monoclonal antibodies recognizing the LLC and not early and late endosomes. One of these antibodies, the 20C4, was then characterized. It is directed against mature class II molecules of all murine haplotypes. By electron microscopy, 20C4 labeling was restricted to both the plasma membrane and the LLC. These reagents may be useful in the further characterization of the specialized function of these intracellular organelles.

Abstract
MHC class II molecules are found on the basolateral plasma membrane domain of polarized epithelial cells, where they can present Ag to intraepithelial lymphocytes in the vascular space. We have analyzed the sorting information required for efficient intracellular localization and polarized distribution of MHC class II molecules in stably transfected Madin-Darby canine kidney cells. These cells were able to present influenza virus particles to HLA-DR1-restricted T cell clones. Wild-type MHC class II molecules were located on the basolateral plasma membrane domain, in basolateral early endosomes, and in late multivesicular endosomes, the latter also containing the MHC class II-associated invariant chain and an HLA-DM fusion protein. A phenylalanine-leucine residue within the cytoplasmic tail of the beta-chain was required for basolateral distribution, efficient internalization, and localization of the MHC class II molecules to basolateral early endosomes. However, distribution to apically located, late multivesicular endosomes did not depend on signals in the class II cytoplasmic tails as both wild-type class II molecules and mutant molecules lacking the phenylalanine-leucine motif were found in these compartments. Our results demonstrate that sorting information in the tails of class II dimers is an absolute requirement for their basolateral surface distribution and intracellular localization.

Abstract
Caveolins are integral membrane proteins which are a major component of caveolae. In addition, caveolins have been proposed to cycle between intracellular compartments and the cell surface but the exact trafficking route and targeting information in the caveolin molecule have not been defined. We show that antibodies against the caveolin scaffolding domain or against the COOH terminus of caveolin-1 show a striking specificity for the Golgi pool of caveolin and do not recognize surface caveolin by immunofluorescence. To analyze the Golgi targeting of caveolin in more detail, caveolin mutants were expressed in fibroblasts. Specific mutants lacking the NH2 terminus were targeted to the cis Golgi but were not detectable in surface caveolae. Moreover, a 32-amino acid segment of the putative COOH-terminal cytoplasmic domain of caveolin-3 was targeted specifically and exclusively to the Golgi complex and could target a soluble heterologous protein, green fluorescent protein, to this compartment. Palmitoylation-deficient COOH-terminal mutants showed negligible association with the Golgi complex. This study defines unique Golgi targeting information in the caveolin molecule and identifies the cis Golgi complex as an intermediate compartment on the caveolin cycling pathway.

Abstract
The plasma membrane pits known as caveolae have been implicated both in cholesterol homeostasis and in signal transduction. CavDGV and CavKSY, two dominant-negative amino-terminal truncation mutants of caveolin, the major structural protein of caveolae, significantly inhibited caveola-mediated SV40 infection, and were assayed for effects on Ras function. We find that CavDGV completely blocked Raf activation mediated by H-Ras, but not that mediated by K-Ras. Strikingly, the inhibitory effect of CavDGV on H-Ras signalling was completely reversed by replenishing cell membranes with cholesterol and was mimicked by cyclodextrin treatment, which depletes membrane cholesterol. These results provide a crucial link between the cholesterol-trafficking role of caveolin and its postulated role in signal transduction through cholesterol-rich surface domains. They also provide direct evidence that H-Ras and K-Ras, which are targeted to the plasma membrane by different carboxy-terminal anchors, operate in functionally distinct microdomains of the plasma membrane.

Abstract
We investigated the ability of endocytosed activated epidermal growth factor receptors (EGFR) to induce expression of the cyclin-interacting protein p21/CIP1 in A431 cells. Transforming growth factor alpha (TGFalpha) and EGF both induced tyrosine phosphorylation, induction of p21/CIP1, and thereby inhibition of DNA synthesis. TGFalpha is released from the EGFR when the TGFalpha-EGFR complex encounters low pH upon endocytosis. Consistently, we found more rapid dephosphorylation of the EGFR and less induction of p21/CIP1 by TGFalpha than by EGF. This difference was abolished upon neutralizing endosomal pH by the carboxylic ionophore monensin or the proton ATPase inhibitor bafilomycin A1. When surface-bound TGFalpha was removed by acid stripping and endosomal pH was neutralized with bafilomycin A1, TGFalpha stimulated EGFR tyrosine phosphorylation, induced p21/CIP1, and inhibited DNA synthesis. This strongly suggests that p21/CIP1 can be induced by endocytosed, activated EGFR and that endocytosed EGFR can affect cell growth.

Abstract
Activation of the epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR) kinase was analyzed in cells conditionally defective for clathrin-dependent endocytosis by overexpression of mutant dynamin (K44A). EGF-induced autophosphorylation of the EGFR on ice was strongly reduced in cells overexpressing mutant dynamin, and consistently, binding analyses showed that high-affinity EGFRs were lost. In the absence of mutant dynamin the cells displayed both high- and low-affinity EGFR. At 4 degreesC EGF-EGFR localized mainly outside coated pits regardless of expression of mutant dynamin. However, also low-affinity EGFR efficiently moved to coated pits upon incubating cells at 37 degreesC. Thus, expression of mutant dynamin disrupts high-affinity binding of EGF, but not ligand-induced recruitment of EGFR to clathrin-coated pits.

Abstract
In APCs, MHC class II molecules (MHC class II) bind antigenic peptides after HLA-DM mediated removal of CLIP. To characterize intracellular sites of peptide loading in human B lymphoblastoid cell lines, we conducted immunoelectron microscopy studies with Abs recognizing MHC class II associated with CLIP or bound peptide, respectively, together with Abs to HLA-DM and endocytic markers. The distribution of these molecules indicates that peptide binding occurs in compartments with characteristics of normal late endosomes, and in compartments that show characteristics of late endosomes, but are not detectably accessed by endocytosed BSA-gold. The latter compartments may represent or give rise to recycling vesicles that deliver peptide-loaded class II molecules to the cell surface. In addition, we have compared cells in which HLA-DM and HLA-DR interaction is defective with cells in which this interaction is intact, and find that DM/DR interaction is not required for the proper localization of either molecule to peptide-loading compartments.

Abstract
BACKGROUND & AIMS In the normal gut, human intestinal microvascular endothelial cells (HIMECs) express major histocompatibility complex (MHC) class II molecules. Enhanced expression is found in chronic inflammation. We examined the cytokine regulation of MHC class II molecules and the associated invariant chain (Ii) in HIMECs and investigated whether such cells can process and present a complex protein antigen to T cells. METHODS Enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay, flow cytometry, immunoelectron microscopy, as well as T-cell activation assay with HIMECs and HLA-DR-restricted T-cell clones were employed. RESULTS In unstimulated HIMEC monolayers, HLA-DR, -DP, and -DQ and Ii were undetectable at the protein level, but interferon gamma (IFN-gamma) (100 U/mL) induced expression that peaked for DR after 2-3 days, for DP after 4-6 days, for DQ after 10-12 days, and for Ii after 2-3 days. Tumor necrosis factor alpha had no effect alone but enhanced class II expression in combination with IFN-gamma, most notably for DQ and DP. HLA-DR3-restricted and Mycobacterium tuberculosis heat shock 65-kilodalton-specific T-cell clones were activated to produce IFN-gamma in response to relevant antigen presented by IFN-gamma-treated HIMECs. This response was inhibited by blocking monoclonal antibody to HLA-DR and by chloroquine when compared to professional antigen-presenting cells, HIMECs activated T-cell clones quite efficiently. CONCLUSIONS These data suggest that microvascular endothelial cells can present complex protein antigens in the human gut.

Abstract
Little is known about the structure and function of membrane domains in the vacuolar apparatus of animal cells. A unique feature of late endosomes, which are part of the pathway that leads to lysosomes, is that they contain a complex system of poorly characterized internal membranes in their lumen. These endosomes are therefore known as multivesicular or multilamellar organelles. Some proteins distribute preferentially within these internal membranes, whereas others are exclusively localized to the organelle's limiting membrane. The composition and function of this membrane system are poorly understood. Here we show that these internal membranes contain large amounts of a unique lipid, and thus form specialized domains within endosomes. These specialized domains are involved in sorting the multifunctional receptor for insulin-like growth factor 2 and ligands bearing mannose-6-phosphate, in particular lysosomal enzymes. We also show that this unique lipid is a specific antigen for human antibodies associated with the antiphospholipid syndrome. These antibodies may act intracellularly by altering the protein-sorting functions of endosomes.

Abstract
Here, we report the localization and characterization of BHKp23, a member of the p24 family of transmembrane proteins, in mammalian cells. We find that p23 is a major component of tubulovesicular membranes at the cis side of the Golgi complex (estimated density: 12,500 copies/micron2 membrane surface area, or approximately 30% of the total protein). Our data indicate that BHKp23-containing membranes are part of the cis-Golgi network/intermediate compartment. Using the G protein of vesicular stomatitis virus as a transmembrane cargo molecule, we find that p23 membranes are an obligatory station in forward biosynthetic membrane transport, but that p23 itself is absent from transport vesicles that carry the G protein to and beyond the Golgi complex. Our data show that p23 is not present to any significant extent in coat protein (COP) I-coated vesicles generated in vitro and does not colocalize with COP I buds and vesicles. Moreover, we find that p23 cytoplasmic domain is not involved in COP I membrane recruitment. Our data demonstrate that microinjected antibodies against the cytoplasmic tail of p23 inhibit G protein transport from the cis-Golgi network/ intermediate compartment to the cell surface, suggesting that p23 function is required for the transport of transmembrane cargo molecules. These observations together with the fact that p23 is a highly abundant component in the intermediate compartment, lead us to propose that p23 contributes to membrane structure, and that this contribution is necessary for efficient segregation and transport.

Abstract
The major histocompatibility complex class II-associated invariant chain is believed to direct newly synthesized class II to endocytic compartments. Invariant chain synthesized at high levels in transiently transfected cells induces formation of large vesicular structures. We have examined the effect of stable expression of invariant chain in human fibroblasts by light and electron microscopy. Invariant chain expression dramatically modified endocytic compartments and induced the formation of greatly enlarged structures. These modifications were not lethal. Ultrastructurally, at least three morphologically distinct enlarged compartments could be discerned in the cells. These three compartments may represent early and late endosomes and lysosomes. Internalization of anti-invariant chain antibodies shows that invariant chain may reach the large endosomes via rapid internalization from the plasma membrane. Internalized protein remained in the enlarged vesicles for 4-6 h, indicating an invariant chain-induced delay in the pathway to lysosomes. Although the large invariant chain-induced vesicles have not yet been seen in professional antigen-presenting cells, the invariant chain-induced effects may play a role in regulating the endocytic pathway, creating a special environment for MHC class II to bind antigen.

Abstract
Epithelial cells have been found to express MHC class II molecules in vivo and are able to perform class II-restricted antigen presentation. The precise intracellular localization of these molecules in epithelial cells has been a matter of debate. We have analyzed the polarized targeting of human MHC class II molecules and the associated invariant chain (Ii) in stably transfected MDCK cells. The class II molecules are located at the basolateral surface and in intracellular vesicles, both when expressed alone or together with Ii. Ii is located in basolateral endosomes and can internalize through the basolateral plasma membrane domain. We show that the cytoplasmic tail of Ii contains information for basolateral targeting as it is sufficient to redirect the apical protein neuraminidase (NA) to the basolateral surface. We find that the two leucine-based motifs (LI and ML) in the cytoplasmic tail of Ii are individually sufficient for endosomal sorting and basolateral targeting of Ii in MDCK cells. In addition, basolateral sorting information is located within the 10 membrane-proximal residues of the Ii cytoplasmic tail. As several different signals mediate basolateral sorting of the class II/Ii complex, a polarized distribution of these molecules may be an essential feature of antigen presentation in epithelial cells.

Abstract
Caveolae, flask-shaped invaginations of the plasma membrane, are particularly abundant in muscle cells. We have recently cloned a muscle-specific caveolin, termed caveolin-3, which is expressed in differentiated muscle cells. Specific antibodies to caveolin-3 were generated and used to characterize the distribution of caveolin-3 in adult and differentiating muscle. In fully differentiated skeletal muscle, caveolin-3 was shown to be associated exclusively with sarcolemmal caveolae. Localization of caveolin-3 during differentiation of primary cultured muscle cells and development of mouse skeletal muscle in vivo suggested that caveolin-3 is transiently associated with an internal membrane system. These elements were identified as developing transverse-(T)-tubules by double-labeling with antibodies to the alpha 1 subunit of the dihydropyridine receptor in C2C12 cells. Ultrastructural analysis of the caveolin-3-labeled elements showed an association of caveolin-3 with elaborate networks of interconnected caveolae, which penetrated the depths of the muscle fibers. These elements, which formed regular reticular structures, were shown to be surface-connected by labeling with cholera toxin conjugates. The results suggest that caveolin-3 transiently associates with T-tubules during development and may be involved in the early development of the T-tubule system in muscle.

Abstract
Simian virus 40 (SV40) has been shown to enter mammalian cells via uncoated plasma membrane invaginations. Viral particles subsequently appear within the endoplasmic reticulum. In the present study, we have examined the surface binding and internalization of SV40 by immunoelectron microscopy. We show that SV40 associates with surface pits which have the characteristics of caveolae and are labeled with antibodies to the caveolar marker protein, caveolin-1. SV40 is believed to use major histocompatibility complex (MHC) class I molecules as cell surface receptors. Using a number of MHC class I-specific monoclonal antibodies, we found that both viral infection and association of virus with caveolae were strongly reduced by preincubation with anti-MHC class I antibodies. Because binding of SV40 to MHC class I molecules may induce clustering, we investigated whether antibody cross-linked class I molecules also redistributed to caveolae. Clusters of MHC class I molecules were indeed shown to be specifically associated with caveolin-labeled surface pits. Taken together, the results suggest that SV40 may make use of MHC class I molecule clustering and the caveolae pathway to enter mammalian cells.

Abstract
We have previously identified an intracellular compartment involved in the association between processed lysozyme and IAk major histocompatibility complex class II molecules (called the lysozyme-loading compartment (LLC)). Here, we show that the LLC polypeptide composition analyzed by two-dimensional gel electrophoresis shares similarities with that of early endosomes, but not with that of late endosomes. The transferrin receptor, a well known marker for both early and recycling endosomes, colocalizes with IAk molecules in LLC. Moreover, both transferrin and fluid-phase markers have access to LLC after 15 min of internalization. In the presence of concanamycin B, SDS-stable dimer formation and transport of class II molecules out of LLC are impaired. In contrast, nocodazole treatment has no effect. These results suggest that LLC is a specialized compartment of the recycling pathway involved in lysozyme loading and in the targeting of lysozyme-major histocompatibility class II complexes toward the cell surface.

Abstract
Invariant chain associated with class II molecules is proteolytically processed in several distinct intermediates during its transport through the endocytic pathway. Using subcellular fractionation, early and late endosomal compartments were separated in human fibroblasts transfected with HLA-DR (4N5 cells) and supertransfected with invariant chain (4N5Ii cells) or invariant chain lacking most of the cytoplasmic tail (4N5 delta 20Ii cells). Early and late endosome membrane fractions were characterized by morphology and by analyzing the presence of the Rab5 and Rab7 GTPases as markers of early and late endosomes, respectively. The transfer of endocytosed horseradish peroxidase from early to late endosomes proceeded relatively rapid both in 4N5 and 4N5 delta 20Ii cells (t1/2 = 25 min), whereas this transfer was significantly delayed (t1/2 = 2 h) in 4N5Ii cells. Pulse-chase experiments showed that invariant chain and its degradation products were first observed in early endosomes and thereafter in late endosomes. Our results strongly suggest that invariant chain induces a retention mechanism in the endocytic pathway.

Abstract
The ultrastructural localization of metallothionein (MT) was investigated in the liver of male Wistar rats by a cryo-immunocytochemical technique. The liver parenchymal and sinusoidal cells were studied in both cadmium-exposed (3 x 1.2 mg kg-1 as cadmium chloride) and non-treated animals. Treatment with cadmium induced the synthesis of MT yet differences in the distribution were evident amongst the various types of liver cell. MT was found most abundantly in the parenchymal and endothelial cells, yet was absent in the stellate cell and sparsely distributed in the Kupffer cell. In the cells where MT gene expression was induced, the metalloprotein was distributed within both the nuclear and cytoplasmic compartments. The significance of the nuclear localization of MT is discussed.

Abstract
Class II molecules of the major histocompatibility complex (MHC) bind peptides derived from protein antigens delivered into endocytic compartments and present these peptides to CD4+ T cells. The precursors to functional MHC class II molecules loaded with peptides are complexes of the invariant chain associated with class II alpha beta heterodimers. Targeting of newly synthesized MHC class II molecules to endosomes is mediated by the invariant chain, but the intracellular transport route is not known. This study demonstrates that in a human B-cell line a large population of MHC class II-invariant chain complexes reaches endosomes by rapid internalization from the cell surface. Quantitation of cell surface MHC class II-invariant chain complexes and of their surface half-life revealed that 3000 complexes internalized per minute into endosomes. This highly efficient endocytosis was mediated by the cytoplasmic tail of the invariant chain. After internalization, the invariant chain dissociated from the MHC class II-invariant chain complexes. This pathway may represent an important mechanism for loading class II molecules with immunogenic peptides from several endocytic compartments.

Abstract
Rat liver stellate cells were cocultured with HepG2 human hepatoma cells, which are known to synthesize and secrete retinol-binding protein (RBP). Transfer of human RBP from HepG2 cells to stellate cells was studied by cryoimmunoelectron microscopy. In stellate cells, human RBP was found on the cell surface and within endosomes. The transfer of human RBP from HepG2 cells to stellate cells was blocked by addition of RBP antibodies to the culture medium. Very little uptake of RBP was observed when fibroblasts were cocultured with HepG2 cells. In a series of experiments, RBP was bound to its putative cell surface receptor at 4 degrees C, and the stellate cells were washed and then incubated at 37 degrees C in order to allow them to internalize a pulse of RBP. About 50% of the RBP was internalized after 6 min of incubation. The RBP-positive vesicles were initially (after 1-2 min) located close to the cell surface and later were found deeper in the cytoplasm. During the first 10 min, RBP was mainly observed in close association with membranes. After 2 hr, however, most RBP was localized in intracellular vesicles at a distance from the vesicular membranes, suggesting that RBP had been released from its receptor. Saturable binding of RBP to liver cells was demonstrated when cells were incubated with 125I-RBP at 4 degrees C and cell-associated radioactivity was determined. The calculated dissociation constant for the specific binding was 12.7 +/- 3.2 nM. A binding assay was also developed for determination of solubilized RBP receptor. Solubilized proteins from the nonparenchymal liver cells bound about 30 times more 125I-labeled RBP than did parenchymal cells (based on mass of cell protein). These data suggest that RBP mediates the paracrine transfer of retinol from hepatocytes to perisinusoidal stellate cells in liver and that stellate cells bind and internalize RBP by receptor-mediated endocytosis.

Abstract
The endocytic pathway of ricin in sinusoidal liver endothelial cells (EC) was traced by means of immunocytochemical labeling of ultrathin cryosections. Ricin, a highly mannosylated glycoprotein, is internalized mainly by receptor-mediated endocytosis via the mannose receptor in the EC. Labeling of specimens fixed at different time points after injection of ligand showed that several subcellular compartments are involved in processing of endocytosed ricin. One minute after injection ricin is seen in coated pits, coated vesicles and cisternal-shaped endosomes. After 6 min, the ligand associates with electron-dense, spherical vesicles and electron-lucent vesicles, presumably representing late endosomes. In the same time period we observed labeling in the vicinity of the Golgi stack. At later time points, ricin is increasingly localized in lysosomes. Both late endosomes and lysosomes showed labeling for Igp120, the lysosomal membrane glycoprotein. To compare uptake of ricin with another mannosylated ligand, we coinjected ricin and mannosylated colloidal gold particles (Man-Aun). Man-Au20, injected 24 h before fixation as a marker for late endocytic compartments, was found in two distinct compartments, presumably representing late endosomes and lysosomes. The distribution of ricin and Man-Au10, the latter injected 15 min before fixation, in early endosomes was strikingly different, indicating that the structure of this compartment is important in the process of sorting of ligand and receptor.

Abstract
In the liver, tissue-type plasminogen activator (t-PA) is endocytosed by hepatic parenchymal (PC), endothelial (EC) and Kupffer (KC) cells. Although the endocytosis is receptor-mediated, it remains a matter of discussion which receptors are involved in this catabolic process. To evaluate the role of a protein-specific receptor, as well as the possible involvement of the galactose receptor on PC and the mannose receptor on EC, we have employed different glycosylation variants of t-PA in biochemical and immunocytochemical studies. Partial or total removal of carbohydrate side-chains by endoglycosidases did not prevent clearance and hepatic endocytosis of t-PA by either of the liver cell types. Blockade of the galactose and mannose receptors by co-application of a large excess of the glycoprotein ovalbumin remained without effect on the binding and uptake of t-PA by hepatic cells. However, the contribution of different liver cell types to the hepatic clearance of t-PA was to a certain extent dependent on the type of oligosaccharide chains removed. The mannose receptor on EC is partially responsible for the clearance of t-PA by this cell type, whereas the galactose receptor does not seem to be involved in this process. The results obtained in this study further demonstrate that the major portion of the hepatic catabolism of t-PA is independent of its carbohydrate side-chains.

Abstract
Endocytosis of tissue-type plasminogen activator (t-PA) by different types of rat liver cells was studied in immunocytochemically labelled cryosections as well as in biochemical experiments. For morphological localization of the ligand in different endocytic compartments involved in its catabolism, rat livers were fixed at various times (1-24 min) after injection of t-PA. Late-endosomal and lysosomal compartments were identified by double-labelling the sections with antibodies to the lysosomal proteins glycoprotein Igp 120 and cathepsin D. In liver t-PA was localized in sinusoidal endothelial cells (EC), parenchymal cells (PC) and to some extent in Kupffer cells (KC), indicating that it is internalized and degraded in all three cell types. In specimens fixed 6 min after injection PC, EC and KC were found to contribute to 69, 24 and 7% respectively of total t-PA endocytosed. The transfer from late endosomes to lysosomes was found to be faster in EC than in PC. The morphological findings were supported by studies of the endocytic mechanisms employing isolated perfused livers and primary hepatocytes. The presence of monensin, an inhibitor of lysosomal protein degradation, reduced the amount of t-PA degraded to about 50% of the control values. The catalytic site seems not to be required for the catabolism of t-PA in hepatic cells. The inhibition of t-PA by D-phenylalanyl-L-prolylarginyl-chloromethane did not influence receptor recognition and catabolic processing, as determined in morphological studies using labelled cryosections, in binding studies employing liver cell membranes and primary hepatocytes, as well as in liver-perfusion experiments.

Abstract
Recombinant tissue-type plasminogen activator (rt-PA, alteplase, Actilyse, Activase; CAS 105857-23-6) is the most effective agent currently available for thrombolytic therapy of life-threatening diseases such as acute myocardial infarction. It acts by rapid, clot-specific lysis of pathological thrombi, with only limited effects on systemic hemostasis. Pharmacokinetics of rt-PA have been extensively characterized in animal species and man, and can be generally described by a 3-compartment model. Preferred analytical methods for rt-PA in plasma are ELISA and chromogenic activity assays. The dominant plasma half-life of rt-PA in myocardial infarction patients is short (3.6 min), which allows excellent control of plasma levels during therapy. Steady-state plasma concentrations effecting coronary thrombolysis using the current dosage regimen are 2.2 micrograms/ml. A deep compartment results in elevated rt-PA concentrations several hours after termination of infusions, which may contribute to short-term maintenance of patency of reperfused blood vessels. Clearance of rt-PA can be saturated in animals at very high plasma concentrations (Km = 12-15 micrograms/ml), however, pharmacokinetics in clinical settings are linear. Clearance occurs via hepatic receptor mediated endocytosis and intracellular degradation in liver parenchymal, endothelial and Kupffer cells. The catabolism involves coated pits, coated vesicles, endosomes, and finally degradation in lysosomes. Current evidence supports the existence of hepatic receptors recognizing carbohydrate as well as polypeptide determinants in rt-PA. In conclusion, increasing knowledge of rt-PA pharmacokinetics will contribute to the optimization of new clinical dosage regimens, such as front-loaded infusions and boluses, and to the identification of novel molecular targets for pharmacologic control of rt-PA catabolism and of circulating fibrinolytic activity.

Abstract
The glycoprotein tissue-type plasminogen activator (t-PA, alteplase, CAS 105857-23-6) is a serine protease consisting of 527 amino acids and can activate plasminogen to plasmin, which subsequently dissolves the fibrin network of a thrombus. This activation occurs selectively on the thrombus, making recombinant t-PA a very effective agent in the treatment of thromboembolic disorders. t-PA has a short in vivo half-life and is rapidly removed from the circulation by the liver. The catabolism of t-PA involves receptor-mediated endocytosis and intracellular degradation in several cell types of the liver namely hepatic endothelial, parenchymal and Kupffer cells. Liver endothelial cells have been reported to possess a specific uptake system for t-PA based on the recognition of the high mannose carbohydrate structures on Asn117. To further elucidate the involvement of the mannose receptor on sinusoidal endothelial cells in the hepatic catabolism of t-PA and to identify the mechanisms involved, biochemical as well as electron microscopic studies were performed. The biochemical studies revealed that the removal of the mannose side chain in t-PA significantly reduced its clearance and degradation in isolated perfused livers. The binding of t-PA to preparations of primary hepatocytes and liver cell membranes could not be competed for by various sugars and glycoproteins, and was not dependent on the presence of carbohydrates on the molecule. This ruled out a major relevance of the sugar moieties of t-PA in its recognition by liver cells that were not of endothelial origin.(ABSTRACT TRUNCATED AT 250 WORDS)

Abstract
We have studied uptake of retinol-binding protein (RBP) by rat liver cells. First, we compared the in vivo uptake in different liver cells of 125I-labeled RBP with that of other well-known ligands. We found that the ligands studied were recognized differently by the various cell types in the liver, and that RBP was most efficiently taken up by parenchymal and stellate cells. We then studied the in vivo uptake of RBP in liver cells by immunocytochemistry at the electron microscopic level using ultrathin cryosections. Ten min after injection, RBP was localized to parenchymal cells and stellate cells. In these cells, RBP was detected on the cell surface and in vesicles near the cell surface. RBP was observed mainly in association with the membrane in these vesicles. Two hours after injection, RBP was localized not only on the cell surface and in vesicles close to the cell surface, but also in larger vesicles located deeper in the cytoplasm of these cells. RBP in larger vesicles was observed at a distance from the vesicular membrane. Finally, we compared the distribution of endocytosed RBP in liver parenchymal cells with that of asialo-orosomucoid, a ligand known to be internalized by receptor-mediated endocytosis. We detected both ligands on the cell surface and in small vesicles located close to the cell surface and in larger vesicles located deeper in the cytoplasm. Asialo-orosomucoid and RBP were seldom observed in the same small vesicles, but the larger vesicles contained both ligands. These data suggest that RBP is internalized in parenchymal and stellate cells of the liver by receptor-mediated endocytosis.

Abstract
Immunocytochemical labeling of ultrathin cryosections from rat liver showed that mannose-terminated glycoproteins are removed rapidly from the blood stream mainly by the sinusoidal endothelial cells. The mannose-terminated glycoprotein ovalbumin was injected intravenously into rats 1 min, 6 min, and 24 min before perfusion fixation of the liver. Several minor and at least three major subcellular compartments were shown to be involved in the endocytic process. One minute after injection, ovalbumin was found at the cell surface, in coated pits, in coated vesicles, in tubular structures, and bound to the membrane of large early endosomes of which some showed a cisternal structure. After 6 min, ovalbumin was found in the lumen of large electron-lucent late endosomes and after 24 min in electron-dense structures, presumably lysosomes. The early endosomes have an ultrastructure which, together with the labeling pattern, indicates that this compartment has the same function as the CURL identified in parenchymal liver cells. The results are in accordance with recent biochemical findings indicating that ovalbumin endocytosed by endothelial cells is found sequentially in three different subcellular fractions depending on the time between injection and cooling for fractionation (G. M. Kindberg, T. Berg: Intracellular transport of endocytosed mannose terminated glycoproteins in rat liver endothelial cells. In: E. Wisse, D. L. Knook, K. Decker (eds.): Cells of the Hepatic Sinusoid. Vol. 2. pp. 120-124. Kupffer Cell Foundation. Rijswijk The Netherlands 1989).
