چکیده

It has recently been shown that monoclonal antibody (MoAb) 97A6 detects a surface antigen expressed on basophils and their CD34(+) precursor cells, as well as the basophil cell line KU-812. In this report the partial amino acid sequence of affinity chromatography- and sodium dodecyl sulfate-polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis-separated 97A6 antigen(s) from KU-812 lysates was determined. Sequence alignment of high-performance liquid chromatography-selected tryptic peptides from the resulting 130- and 150-kd bands revealed a 100% identity with amino acids 393 to 405 of ectonucleotide pyrophosphatase/phosphodiesterase-3 (E-NPP3; CD203c) but not of the related ectoenzyme PC-1 (E-NPP1). Moreover, MoAb 97A6 selectively recognized 293 cells transfected with human E-NPP3, but did not react with cells transfected with PC-1 or parental 293 cells. In addition, E-NPP3 messenger RNA expression was detected in basophils but not other peripheral blood cells. Finally, MoAb 97A6 immunoprecipitated phosphodiesterase activity from KU-812 cells and peripheral blood basophils, but not from other cell populations. These data demonstrate that MoAb 97A6 recognizes the functionally active type II transmembrane ectoenzyme E-NPP3.

The monoclonal antibody 97A6 defines a novel surface antigen expressed on human basophils and their multipotent and unipotent progenitors.

Basophils (Ba) and mast cells (MC) are important effector cells of inflammatory reactions. Both cell types derive from CD34(+) hematopoietic progenitors. However, little is known about the cell subsets that become committed to and give rise to Ba and/or MC. We have generated a monoclonal antibody (MoAb), 97A6, that specifically detects human Ba, MC (lung, skin), and their CD34(+) progenitors. O...

Identification of ectonucleotide pyrophosphatase/phosphodiesterase 3 (ENPP3) as a regulator of N-acetylglucosaminyltransferase GnT-IX (GnT-Vb).

Our previous studies on a β1,6-N-acetylglucosaminyltransferase, GnT-IX (GnT-Vb), a homolog of GnT-V, indicated that the enzyme has a broad GlcNAc transfer activity toward N-linked and O-mannosyl glycan core structures and that its brain-specific gene expression is regulated by epigenetic histone modifications. In this study, we demonstrate the existence of an endogenous inhibitory factor for Gn...

Association of Cross-Sectional and Longitudinal Change in Arterial Stiffness With Gene Expression in the Twins UK Cohort.

We investigated whether expression of genes previously implicated in arterial stiffening associates with cross-sectional and longitudinal measures of arterial stiffness. Women from the Twins UK cohort (n=470, aged 39-81 years) had gene expression in lymphoblastoid cell lines measured using an Illumina microarray. Arterial stiffness was measured by carotid-femoral pulse wave velocity and carotid...

Role of ectonucleotide pyrophosphatase/phosphodiesterase 2 in the midline axis formation of zebrafish

Lysophosphatidic acid (LPA) is a unique bioactive lysophospholipid that induces pleiotropic effects in various cell types and organisms by acting on its specific receptors. LPA is mainly synthetised extracellularly by the ectonucleotide pyrophosphatase/phosphodiesterase 2/autotaxin (enpp2). Altered LPA signalling is associated with embryonic abnormalities, suggesting critical roles for LPA duri...
