“AKR1B10 (aldo-keto reductase family 1, member B10) protein is primarily expressed in normal human small intestine and colon, but overexpressed in several types of human cancers and considered as a tumour marker. In the present study, we found that AKR1B10 protein is secreted from normal intestinal epithelium and cultured cancer cells, as detected by a newly developed sandwich ELISA and Western blotting. The secretion of AKR1B10 was not affected by the protein-synthesis inhibitor cycloheximide and the classical protein-secretion pathway Selleck BAY 73-4506 inhibitor brefeldin A, but was stimulated by temperature, ATP, Ca(2+) and the Ca(2+) carrier ionomycin, lysosomotropic NH(4)Cl, the G-protein activator GTP gamma S and the G-protein coupling receptor N-formylmethionyl-leucyl-phenylalanine. The ADP-ribosylation factor inhibitor 2-(4-fluorobenzoylamino)-benzoic acid methyl ester and the phospholipase C inhibitor U73122 inhibited the secretion

of AKR1B10. In cultured cells, AKR1B10 was present in lysosomes and was secreted with cathepsin D, a lysosomal marker.

In the intestine, AKR1B10 was specifically expressed in mature epithelial cells and secreted into the lumen at 188.6-535.7 ng/ml of Heal fluids (mean = 298.1 ng/ml, 17 = 11). Taken together, our results demonstrate that AKR1B10 is a new secretory protein belonging to a lysosome-mediated non-classical protein-secretion pathway and is a potential serum marker.”
“Regulation of Ca(2+) concentrations is essential to maintain the structure and function of the axon initial segment selleck (AIS). The so-called cisternal organelle of the AIS is a structure involved in this regulation, although little is known as to how this organelle matures and is stabilized. Here we describe how the cisternal organelle develops in cultured hippocampal neurons and the interactions that facilitate its stabilization in the AIS. We also characterize the developmental expression of molecules involved in Ca(2+) regulation in the AIS. Our results indicate that synaptopodin (synpo) positive elements considered to be associated to the cisternal organelle are present in the AIS after six days in vitro. There are largely overlapping microdomains containing the inositol 1,4,5-triphosphate receptor 1 (IP(3)R1) and the Ca(2+) binding protein annexin 6, suggesting that the regulation of Ca(2+) concentrations in the AIS is sensitive to IP(3) and subject to regulation by annexin 6.
