The perilipin-2 (adipophilin) coat of cytosolic lipid droplets is regulated by an Arf1-dependent mechanism in HC11 mouse mammary epithelial cells. Cell Biol Int 2015; 40:143-55.

Abstract
The cytosolic lipid droplets (cLDs) store excess intracellular lipids, and perilipin-2 is believed to protect cLDs from degradation. Here, we investigated the role of the small G-protein Arf1 and the proteasome in the fates of perilipin-2 and cLDs. In oleate-loaded cells, upon brefeldin A (BFA) treatment, perilipin-2 remained associated with cLDs for at least 30 min before significant release, and proteasomal degradation-mediated decrease was observed. Interestingly, the cLD population did not mimic the decline in perilipin-2. We tested several chemical modulators of regulators of Arf1 activity on the association of perilipin-2 with cLDs. QS11 and Exo2 accelerated the reduction in perilipin-2, although less than BFA. In contrast, Exo1 unexpectedly slowed down its degradation. Correlatively, BFA, QS11, and Exo2 enhanced the dissociation of perilipin-2 from cLDs, whereas Exo1 inhibited it. There was a synergistic effect of BFA with Exo2 and QS11, and of Exo2 with QS11, whereas Exo1 antagonized the effect of BFA without affecting that of Exo2 or QS11. We concluded that the Arf1 complex regulates the association of perilipin-2 with cLDs. Additionally, MG132 and BFA modified the number of cLDs over a relatively short period.

Abstract
Milk protein gene expression varies during the pregnancy/lactation cycle under the influence of lactogenic hormones which induce the activation of several transcription factors. Beyond this activation modifying the binding properties of these factors to their consensus sequences, their interactions with DNA is regulated by variations of the chromatin structure. In the nuclei of the mammary epithelial cell, the three dimensional organisation of the chromatin loops, located between matrix attachment regions, is now being studied. The main milk components are organised in supramolecular structures. Milk fat globules are made of a triglyceride core enwrapped by a tripartite membrane originating from various intracellular compartments. The caseins, the main milk proteins, form aggregates: the casein micelles. Their gradual aggregation in the secretory pathway is initiated as soon as from the endoplasmic reticulum. The mesostructures of the milk fat globule and of the casein micelle remain to be elucidated. Our goal is to make some progress into the understanding of the molecular and cellular mechanisms involved in the formation of these milk products.

Localisation of caveolin in mammary tissue depends on cell type. Cell Tissue Res 2007; 328:521-36.

Abstract
Caveolins, components of caveolae, are expressed in mammary tissue. In order to determine whether caveolins are present in different mammary cell types and whether their localisation depends on the physiological stage or species, cav-1 and cav-2 were characterised by immunoblotting in mammary tissues from the mouse, ewe and rabbit and localised, by immunofluorescence and electron microscopy, in mammary tissues from the mouse and ewe. At all the physiological stages studied, cav-1 and cav-2 were present in endothelial and myoepithelial cells in which flask-shaped caveolae were abundant. However, labelling of cav-1 and cav-2 associated with small vesiculo-tubular structures (including those close to lipid droplets) was low in epithelial cells. To study the possible association of cav-1 with lipid droplets, lactating ewe mammary fragments were treated in vitro with brefeldin A. This treatment did not modify the association of cav-1-labelled structures with lipid droplets. Finally, HC11 and MCF-10A mammary cell lines were treated with oleic acid. The total quantity of cav-1 was little affected by the treatment, although the lipid droplet labelling of cav-1 was amplified in MCF-10A cells. Thus, the synthesis and localisation of caveolins are mostly dependent upon the cell types of mammary tissue and upon their state of differentiation.

Abstract
Human hepatocarcinoma-intestine-pancreas/pancreatic-associated protein HIP/PAP is a secreted C-type lectin belonging to group VII, according to Drickamer's classification. HIP/PAP is overexpressed in liver carcinoma; however, its functional role remains unclear. In this study, we demonstrate that HIP/PAP is a paracrine hepatic growth factor promoting both proliferation and viability of liver cells in vivo. First, a low number of implanted hepatocytes deriving from HIP/PAP-transgenic mice (<1:1,000) was sufficient to stimulate overall recipient severe combined immunodeficiency liver regeneration after partial hepatectomy. After a single injection of HIP/PAP protein, the percentages of bromodeoxyuridine-positive nuclei and mitosis were statistically higher than after saline injection, indicating that HIP/PAP acts as a paracrine mitogenic growth factor for the liver. Comparison of the early events posthepatectomy in control and transgenic mice indicated that HIP/PAP accelerates the accumulation/degradation of nuclear phospho-signal transducer activator transcription factor 3 and tumor necrosis factor alpha level, thus reflecting that HIP/PAP accelerates liver regeneration. Second, we showed that 80% of the HIP/PAP-transgenic mice versus 25% of the control mice were protected against lethal acetaminophen-induced fulminate hepatitis. A single injection of recombinant HIP/PAP induced a similar cytoprotective effect, demonstrating the antiapoptotic effect of HIP/PAP. Comparison of Cu/Zn superoxide dismutase activity and glutathione reductase-like effects in control and transgenic liver mice indicated that HIP/PAP exerts an antioxidant activity and prevents reactive oxygen species-induced mitochondrial damage by acetaminophen overdose. In conclusion, the present data offer new insights into the biological functions of C-type lectins. In addition, HIP/PAP is a promising candidate for the prevention and treatment of liver failure.

Abstract
The expression of casein genes is specific to the mammary gland and maximal during lactation. However, among the numerous mammary cell lines described so far, only a few express some casein genes. The regulatory regions of casein genes have been largely described but the mechanisms explaining the mammary specific expression of these genes, and their silencing in most mammary cell lines, have not yet been fully elucidated. To test the hypothesis that the nuclear location of the casein genes may affect their expression, we transfected HC11 mouse mammary cell line with a 100 kb DNA fragment surrounding the rabbit alpha S1 casein gene. We derived stable clones which express or not the transfected rabbit casein gene, in the same cellular context, independently of the number of transgene copies. Metaphase spreads were prepared from the different clones and the transfected genes were localized. Unexpectedly, we observed that in the original HC11 cell line the number of chromosomes per metaphase spread is close to 80, suggesting that HC11 cells have undergone a duplication event, since the mouse karyotype is 2n = 40. In alpha S1 casein expressing cells, the expression level does not clearly correlate with a localization of the transfected DNA proximal to the centromeres or the telomeres. Analysis of the localization of the transfected DNA in nuclear halos allows us to conclude that when expressed, transfected DNA is more closely linked to the nuclear matrix. The next step will be to study the attachment of the endogenous casein gene in mammary nuclei during lactation.

Abstract
A missing link in the understanding of the mechanisms of transport of the mannose 6-phosphate receptors has recently been discovered, following the identification of the protein TIP47. In association with Rab9-GTP, this protein is responsible for the return of the receptors from the late endosomes back to the trans-Golgi network. Curiously, the same protein called PP17b, was described as a placental protein twenty years ago, and more recently, as a blood marker for human uterine cervical cancer. The sequence of PP17b/TIP47 displays not only a strong homology with those of adipophilin and the perilipins, two proteins known to be involved in the intracellular traffic of lipid droplets but also PP17b/TIP47 is associated with the later. How this ubiquitous protein could participate in processes as different as the mannose 6-phosphate receptors traffic and the formation and/or traffic of lipid droplets? A tentative hypothesis is put forward.

Abstract
The HIP/PAP (=human Reg-2) C-type lectin encoding gene is activated in primary liver cancers. In normal liver, the protein is undetectable in normal mature hepatocytes and found only in some ductular cells, representing potential hepatic progenitor cells. The aim of this study was to examine the consequences of human HIP/PAP expression in the liver of transgenic mice. We demonstrated that HIP/PAP stimulated liver regeneration after partial hepatectomy. To further investigate the enhanced liver regeneration observed in vivo, primary cultures of hepatocytes were used to evaluate the mitogenic and anti-apoptotic properties of HIP/PAP. HIP/PAP increased hepatocyte DNA synthesis and protected hepatocytes against TNF-alpha plus actinomycin-D-induced apoptosis. HIP/PAP anti-apoptotic effects against TNF-alpha were clearly demonstrated when protein kinase A activity was specifically inhibited by KT5720, and HIP/PAP stimulated PKA-dependent phosphorylation of the proapoptotic Bad protein at Ser-112, suggesting that HIP/PAP may compete with cAMP to stimulate PKA activity. Overall, our results led us to propose a new role for a C-type lectin, HIP/PAP, as a hepatic cytokine that combines mitogenic and anti-apoptotic functions regarding hepatocytes, and consequently acts as a growth factor in vivo to enhance liver regeneration.

Abstract
The factors controlling normal placental development are poorly understood. We have previously reported the presence of ovine placental growth hormone (oPGH) and growth hormone receptors in ovine placenta, and oPGH production by the trophectoderm and syncitium during the second month of pregnancy. To identify factors regulating oPGH production, we developed a perifusion system to measure oPGH and ovine placental lactogen (oPL) production by Day 45 ovine placental explants. The mRNAs for both hormones were quantitated by real-time polymerase chain reaction in explants collected after perifusion periods of up to 8 h. Ovine PGH and oPL were released into the medium at mean rates of 2.45 +/- 0.2 and 353.6 +/- 13.6 ng/g/h, respectively. Ovine placenta produces growth hormone-releasing hormone (GHRH), but addition of GHRH to the perifusion medium did not modify either oPGH or oPL production. In vivo, oPGH production occurs between Days 30 and 60 of pregnancy. Because modulation of the maternal diet during this period affects placental development, the potential regulation of oPGH and oPL production by glucose was evaluated. Glucose supplementation of the perifusion medium resulted in a concentration-dependent decrease in oPGH release after 4 h, but oPGH mRNA levels were not affected. Production of oPL was not affected by glucose. Thus, oPGH and oPL belong to the same growth hormone/prolactin family but are differentially regulated by glucose. Ovine PGH modulations should be taken into account in metabolic experiments performed during the first trimester of pregnancy in sheep.

Abstract
Several casein (CSN) genes (CSN1, 2, 10 and alphas2-CSN) have been described and shown to be clustered in mouse, man and cattle. These genes are expressed simultaneously in the mammary gland during lactation, but they are silent in most mammary cell lines, even in the presence of lactogenic hormones. However, it has been shown that the CSN2 gene, and this gene only, can be induced in certain mammary cell lines, such as HC11. In the present paper, we describe three overlapping bacterial artificial chromosome (BAC) clones which harbor both the rabbit CSN1 and CSN2 genes. These two genes are in a convergent orientation, separated by an intergenic region of 15 kb. DNA from one of the CSN/BAC clones was used as a probe for in situ hybridization to show that the CSN1 and CSN2 gene cluster is located on chromosome 15 band q23 and not on chromosome 12 as had been previously reported. Each of the three CSN/BAC DNAs was transfected into HC11 cells. In the presence of lactogenic hormones, the rabbit CSN1 gene was clearly expressed from all three CSN/BAC DNAs, whereas the rabbit CSN2 gene, which at the most possesses a 1 kb upstream region in one of the CSN/BAC DNAs, was not expressed at detectable levels on Northern blots. The transfected HC11 cells now express both rabbit CSN1 and mouse CSN2 genes. These transfected cells will be used as a model to study the role of CSN1 in milk protein secretion.

Abstract
The human hepatocarcinoma-intestine-pancreas/pancreatic-associated protein (HIP/PAP) gene was previously identified because of its increased expression in primary liver cancers and during the acute phase of pancreatitis. In normal tissues, HIP/PAP is expressed both in endocrine and exocrine cells of the intestine and pancreas. HIP/PAP is a lactose binding C-type lectin which acts as an adhesion molecule for rat hepatocytes. The aim of the work was to study the HIP/PAP secretory pathway and to produce high levels of HIP/PAP in the milk of lactating transgenic mice. In view of its lactose C-type lectin properties, we have studied the consequences of the expression of HIP/PAP on mammary epithelial cells. In homozygous mice, production reached 11.2 mg.mL-1 of milk. High levels of soluble and pure HIP/PAP (18.6 mg) were purified from 29 mL of milk. The purified protein was sequenced and the N-terminal amino acid of the mature HIP/PAP was identified as Glu27, thus localizing the site of cleavage of the signal peptide. The HIP/PAP transgene was only expressed in the mammary gland of lactating transgenic mice. HIP/PAP was detected by immunofluorescence in the whole gland, but labelling was heterogeneous between alveolar clusters, with strongly positive sparse cells. Using immuno electron microscopy, HIP/PAP was observed in all the compartments of the secretory pathway within the mammary epithelial cells. We provide evidence that HIP/PAP is secreted through the Golgi pathway. However, the number of distended Golgi saccules was increased when compared to that found in wild-type mouse mammary cells. These modifications could be related to HIP/PAP C-type lectin specific properties.

Abstract
Clathrin coated vesicles were isolated from lactating rabbit mammary gland by differential centrifugation, centrifugation on (2)H2O-sucrose cushions and Sephacryl S-1000 chromatography. Mammary epithelial cells contain an unexpectedly high quantity of clathrin coated vesicles which appear heterogeneous in size, with a mean diameter of 95.9+/-10.5 nm and a density of 1.23 g × ml(−1). Analysis of clathrin coated vesicle adaptor composition by SDS-PAGE and western blot showed that only approximately 5–10% of total APs consist of AP-2 in isolated mammary gland clathrin coated vesicles whereas it represents approximately 70% of the total APs from bovine brain clathrin coated vesicles. Cargo molecules known to be transcytosed such as IgG, IgA, and the pIgR were detected in the clathrin coated vesicles, indicating that part of this vesicle population is involved in transcytotic pathways. However, as the vast majority of the clathrin coated vesicles contained AP-1, it was likely that these clathrin coated vesicles were involved in the secretory pathway. Relatively high quantities of furin and cation-independent mannose 6-phosphate receptor were detected in mammary clathrin coated vesicles. By immuno electron microscopy, AP-1 and the cation-independent mannose 6-phosphate receptor were localized in Golgi-associated vesicles and on the membrane of secretory vesicles. The presence of AP-1 in the coat patches on the membrane of secretory vesicles containing casein micelles, and the presence of alpha(s1)-casein in mammary gland clathrin coated vesicles, support a role for AP-1 in the maturation of secretory vesicles. Our data pinpoint the importance of clathrin coated vesicles in lactating mammary epithelial cells, and suggest these vesicles are involved in the transcytotic pathway, in sorting at the trans-Golgi network and in the biogenesis of casein-containing secretory vesicles.

Abstract
When lactating mammary epithelial cells were treated with prolactin in vitro, numerous small vesicles rapidly accumulated in the Golgi area, and secretion of milk proteins increased. The effects of brefeldin A on these intracellular events were investigated. As observed by electron microscopy, stacks of the median Golgi were not altered after incubation in the presence of 50 nM brefeldin A but were dissociated when the drug concentration was > or = 500 nM. Small vesicles did not accumulate in the Golgi area when mammary cells were incubated in medium containing both prolactin and brefeldin A, whatever the concentration of the latter. Immunofluorescence experiments showed that 50 nM brefeldin A did not modify the localization of the CTR 433 median Golgi protein, but it induced redistribution of trans-Golgi network-associated proteins such as TGN38, AP-1 adaptor and clathrin. These effects occurred in the presence of brefeldin A plus prolactin. Pulse-chase experiments showed that brefeldin A concentrations > or = 100 nM induced the intracellular accumulation of milk proteins, provoked the appearance of immature forms of caseins, and inhibited milk protein secretion. In contrast, concentrations of brefeldin A of < or = 50 nM did not affect basal casein secretion but inhibited the secretagogue effect of prolactin. These data show not only that several biochemical events in the transport of milk proteins which are sensitive to different brefeldin A concentrations occur in lactating mammary epithelial cells, but also that it is possible to inhibit a hormonal stimulus in a selective manner, while the machinery responsible for basal secretion is still active.

Abstract
Highly purified casein kinase II (CK II) isozymes from bovine brain gray matter (BBGM) were obtained by means of a new purification procedure consisting of one phosphocellulose and three Mono-Q steps. The phosphocellulose eluate showed two BBGM-CK II activities. The first minor component (BBGM-CK IIa) was eluted with 0.9 M NaCl and the major component was eluted at 1.1 M NaCl (BBGM-CK IIb). The protein complexes responsible for these two activities were comprised of three subunits, i.e., alpha (40 kDa), alpha' (38 kDa), and beta (28 kDa), with various subunit ratios. The two isozymes displayed the same behavior on Superose 12 fast protein liquid chromatographic gel filtration and sucrose density centrifugation. BBGM-CK IIa and b showed chromatographic and biochemical differences including differing Km for ATP and GTP and Ki for heparin and 2,3-bisphosphoglycerate. The properties of the main peak (BBGM-CK IIb) were studied in detail. The stimulatory effect of Mg2+, Mn2+, and Co2+ was highly dependent both on the nature of the substrate and on ionic type and concentration. It is surprising that with phosvitin as substrate, BBGM-CK IIb was fully active even in the absence of Mg2+ and NaCl. The inhibitory effect of heparin and the stimulatory effects of NaCl, KCl, spermine, and polylysine were highly dependent on the ionic strength, buffer type, and substrate. BBGM-CK II isozymes phosphorylated stathmine in the presence of polylysine, but the requirement for polybasic compounds was not absolute, as is the case with calmodulin and clathrin beta-light chain.(ABSTRACT TRUNCATED AT 250 WORDS)

Abstract
1. Highly purified 200 kDa casein kinase II from rabbit lactating mammary gland (MG-CK II) was obtained by means of a new purification procedure consisting of one phosphocellulose and three Monó Q steps. 2. Its Km for ATP was 2.22 microM and 0.57 mg/ml and 0.13 mg/ml for partially dephosphorylated casein and phosvitin respectively. Stathmine was also suitable as substrate. 2-aminopurine and 6-dimethylaminopurine inhibited efficiently MG-CK II (Ki = 5 and 1 mM respectively). 3. MG-CK II autophosphorylated on its alpha-, alpha'- and beta-subunits. The beta-subunit autophosphorylation was enhanced in presence of exogenous substrate. Its modulation was highly dependent on ATP concentration. 4. The effects of basic compounds which affected dramatically the phosphorylation of dephosphorylated casein in presence of various ATP concentrations were reported.

Abstract
AP50 is a subunit of the assembly polypeptide (AP) subclass AP-2 from bovine brain coated vesicles. It can be phosphorylated in vivo and in vitro on a threonine residue by means of the AP50 kinase activity associated with AP. We have undertaken an analysis of the amino acid sequence around the AP50 phosphorylation site. After phosphorylation in vitro of AP50 followed by tryptic cleavage, only one radioactive peptide was isolated following Mono-Q ion-exchange f.p.l.c. and reverse-phase h.p.l.c. The amino acid sequence of this peptide: Glu146-Glu-Gln-Ser-Gln-Ile-Thr-Ser-Gln-Val-Thr*-Gly-Gly-Ile-Gly-Tr p-Arg162, displayed two threonine residues. Analysis of the yield and radioactivity of the product from automated Edman degradation indicated that only Thr-156 was phosphorylated, reflecting the presence of a single phosphorylation site in AP50. AP phosphorylated the corresponding synthetic peptide on the same threonyl residue. We demonstrated that AP50 was a phosphorylation substrate unable to autophosphorylate. The enzyme involved in the AP50 phosphorylation was shown to be associated with AP-1 and with a soluble protein complex co-purified with APs but resolved from the latter by hydroxyapatite-column exclusion chromatography. This AP50 kinase activity corresponded to a 280 kDa protein complex according to gel-filtration data.

Abstract
The localization of the Golgi complex depends upon the integrity of the microtubule apparatus. At interphase, the Golgi has a restricted pericentriolar localization. During mitosis, it fragments into small vesicles that are dispersed throughout the cytoplasm until telophase, when they again coalesce near the centrosome. These observations have suggested that the Golgi complex utilizes a dynein-like motor to mediate its transport from the cell periphery towards the minus ends of microtubules, located at the centrosome. We utilized semi-intact cells to study the interaction of the Golgi complex with the microtubule apparatus. We show here that Golgi complexes can enter semi-intact cells and associate stably with cytoplasmic constituents. Stable association, termed here "Golgi capture," requires ATP hydrolysis and intact microtubules, and occurs maximally at physiological temperature in the presence of added cytosolic proteins. Once translocated into the semi-intact cell cytoplasm, exogenous Golgi complexes display a distribution similar to endogenous Golgi complexes, near the microtubule-organizing center. The process of Golgi capture requires cytoplasmic tubulin, and is abolished if cytoplasmic dynein is immunodepleted from the cytosol. Cytoplasmic dynein, prepared from CHO cell cytosol, restores Golgi capture activity to reactions carried out with dynein immuno-depleted cytosol. These results indicate that cytoplasmic dynein can interact with isolated Golgi complexes, and participate in their accumulation near the centrosomes of semi-intact, recipient cells. Thus, cytoplasmic dynein appears to play a role in determining the subcellular localization of the Golgi complex.

Abstract
Coated vesicles are involved in transport of membrane proteins between several intracellular membrane-bound compartments. These vesicles possess a specific 50-kDa protein which is phosphorylated and dephosphorylated by a coated-vesicle-specific kinase and phosphatase. We studied this phosphorylation/dephosphorylation cascade system and show that the phosphorylation level of the 50-kDa protein is governed by the ATP/ADP ratio.

Abstract
Coated vesicles are involved in the intracellular transport of membrane proteins between a variety of membrane compartments in which they must be able to undergo repeated membrane fusion and fission. We previously described the presence of cyclic nucleotide- and Ca2+-independent protein kinase activity in bovine brain coated vesicles which specifically phosphorylated a unique Mr = 50,000 coated vesicle integral protein (pp50) on a threonine residue. We describe now the presence in bovine brain coated vesicles of the antagonistic enzymatic activity which dephosphorylates pp50. This phosphoprotein phosphatase occurs under two interconvertible active and inactive forms. The activation process needs the simultaneous presence of Mg2+ and ATP or ADP. Unchelated ATP, but not unchelated ADP, inactivates the pp50 phosphatase. The latter is associated with the vesicular core. MgADP activation of the pp50 phosphatase implicates a different mechanism which does not need a phosphorylated intermediate. Thus, the pp50 phosphatase might belong to a new phosphatase type distinct from the four other classes of well known protein phosphatases.

Abstract
The polyhedral surface lattice of coated vesicles consists of three-legged hexameric protein complexes called triskelions which constitute the basic assembly unit. The triskelion is a molecular complex of molecular weight 630,000 (Mr 630K) composed of three clathrin heavy chains (subunit 180K) and three light chains (subunits 33K and 36K) (refs 2,3). The presence of additional coated vesicle-specific proteins in the 100-130K and 50-55K range have been reported. We previously described the presence of a cyclic nucleotide- and Ca2+-independent protein kinase activity in coated vesicles which was confirmed by others. This protein kinase specifically phosphorylates the 50K protein (pp50). In this report, we show that the coated vesicle kinase and its 50K protein substrate are part of a stable multimolecular system. In addition we show that the clathrin-light chain complex stimulates the pp50 phosphorylation and only light chains are implicated in this stimulation and that the pp50 phosphorylation does not seem to be affected by the vesicle.

Abstract
Purified bovine brain coated vesicles contain protein kinase activity which phosphorylates 165, 54 and 50 kDa protein substrates. These phosphorylations do not seem to be induced by a unique protein kinase: indeed, the three substrates present different localizations in coated vesicles, the phosphorylation sites are either serine or threonine residues and vanadate and ATP[gamma S] have different effects on 32P incorporation in the substrates. Comparison of the coated vesicle protein and phosphorylation patterns from different tissues and animal origins shows that only the 50 kDa protein phosphorylation is always observed, compared to the great diversity in other minor phosphorylations which are observed or not in the various coated vesicles. The possible presence of a 50 kDa phosphoprotein phosphatase is also discussed. It is suggested that the 50 kDa protein with its connected specific kinase and phosphatase seems to constitute a regulatory system present in coated vesicles.

Abstract
Coated vesicles, which are membrane vesicles enclosed by a polyhedral protein lattice, are involved in many cellular events, including intracellular membrane transport and protein secretion, in which they must be able to undergo repeated membrane fusion and fission. The icosahedral lattice of protein surrounding the core of coated vesicles is composed predominantly of clathrin, a 180,000 (180 K) molecular weight protein, and other 30K and 36K polypeptides. In native conditions, the basic subunit of the coat consists of a trimer of clathrin with probably three polypeptides of 30K and/or 36K (refs 9-11). Additional minor proteins of 100K and 55K have been reported in purified coated vesicles. We describe here the presence of cyclic nucleotide- and Ca2+-independent protein kinase activity in coated vesicles. This protein kinase phosphorylates specifically a unique 50K protein which can be co-purified with clathrin and seems to be an integral protein of coated vesicles.

Abstract
Crude and purified murine lectin preparations are extracted from costal cartilage (TAI). They inhibit the antiviral state induced by interferon. They also agglutinate the Crocker 180/TG tumor cells. After IP inoculation in mice, the purified lectin preparation significantly decreases tumor incidence and increases the animal's life span.

Abstract
We have isolated from mouse costal cartilage a tissue antagonist of interferon (TAI) which accelerates the decay of an established antiviral state. The effect is reminiscent of substances previously isolated from the basement membrane of human amnion. Since we have recently shown that phytohemagglutinin can mimic the biological effect of TAI, we have explored the possibility that TAI could be an animal lectin-like material. First, TAI agglutinates mouse cells; second, this cell agglutination is inhibited by some sugars. Preliminary characterization indicates that the active molecule is a protein. After Sephadex G-100 gel filtration, TAI is found in a peak of 150,000 molecular weight. When purified by isoelectric focusing, this peak shows maximal activities corresponding to an isoelectric point of pH 8.8 TAI binds to polysaccharide residues of the cell membrane which could be its primary site of action, comparable to phytohemagglutinin.

Abstract
A tissue antagonist of interferon (TAI) extracted from mouse costal cartilage contains a substance which has many properties characteristic of plant lectins. After binding to the cell membrane receptors, it agglutines normal and transformed murine cells. In interferon treated cells, it restores virus sensitivity probably through a modification in the distribution of membrane bound cellular antigens.

Abstract
Phytohaemagglutinin (PHA M and P forms), when added to L 929 cells previously treated by murine interferon, degrades the antiviral state and restores virus sensitivity in the cells. This degradation depends on the amount of the lectin, the contact period with the cell and the presence of PHA membrane receptors. The importance of membrane configuration not only in the induction but also in the maintenance of the antiviral state is discussed.
