| Research Abstract |
In this research project, we have studied the machanism of (1) inhibition of cell growth, (2) induction of cell differentiation, and (3) induction of apoptosis, by V-ATPase inhibitors like bafilomycins, prodigiosins and destruxins, as well as the mechanims of inhibition of proton translocation by these inhibitors.
We found (1) that both destrauxin-B and -E inhibited lysosomal proton pump, but only destruxin-E induced induced neurite out growth (NOG) of PC12 cells., (2) that prodigisins uncoupled various proton pump activities due to their H ^+ /Cl symport activity, (3) that prodigiosins, like bafilomycin A ^<1'> induced neurite out growth (NOG), and (4) that the prodigiosin-induced NOG, like bafolomycin-induced one, required de novo synthesis of new messenger RNA as well as protein synthesis, was sensitive to the inhibitors of MAP kinases, serine/threonine phosphatases, tyr-kinases, tyr-phosphatases, calmidulin and phospholipase A ^<2' > but resistant to inhibitors of trk tyrosine kinase and protein kinase A.BE-18591, a tambjamine group antibiotics, also behaved as H ^+ /CU symporters and inhibited hog gastric proton pump, inhibit *cid secretion by gastric parietal cells, inhibited osteoclast differentiation, suppressed proliferation of immune lymphocytes, and induced both NOG and apoptosis, suggesting that the variety of biological activities displayed by these H ^+ /C1 symporters may be due to their H ^+ /C1 symport activity. However, tetrapyrrole, another H ^+ /CV symporter, did not induced NOG.
From these results, we conclud that the effect of V-ATPase inhibitors on the intracellular pH does not participate in the variety of biological activities (including induction of NOG) displayed by these compounds.
