Placenta-like alkaline phosphatases from human osteosarcoma cells.

I Singh, K Y Tsang, W S Blakemore

    Cancer Research
    |January 1, 1978
    PubMed
    Summary

    Researchers purified two alkaline phosphatase isoenzymes from human osteosarcoma cells. One matched bone alkaline phosphatase, while the other resembled placental alkaline phosphatase, indicating distinct origins and properties.

    Area of Science:

    • Biochemistry
    • Cell Biology
    • Oncology

    Background:

    • Alkaline phosphatases (ALPs) are crucial enzymes involved in various physiological processes.
    • Osteosarcoma cells can express hormone-induced enzymes, necessitating characterization of these proteins.
    • Understanding ALP isoenzymes is vital for diagnosing and treating bone-related disorders.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To extract and purify hormone-induced alkaline phosphatases from human osteosarcoma (LM) cells.
    • To characterize the biochemical and immunological properties of the purified isoenzymes.
    • To differentiate between bone- and placental-like alkaline phosphatases in osteosarcoma cells.

    Main Methods:

    • Enzyme extraction and purification from human osteosarcoma cells.
    • Biochemical characterization including heat stability and inhibitor sensitivity (homoarginine, phenylalanine, L-leucine, ethylenediaminetetraacetic acid).
    • Electrophoretic analysis and immunodiffusion assays using anti-bone alkaline phosphatase antibodies.

    Main Results:

    • Two distinct alkaline phosphatase isoenzymes were purified.
    • One isoenzyme was heat labile, inhibited by homoarginine, and immunologically identified as bone alkaline phosphatase.
    • The second isoenzyme was heat stable, inhibited by phenylalanine and L-leucine, shared electrophoretic mobility with placental alkaline phosphatase, and exhibited similar antigenicity.

    Conclusions:

    • Human osteosarcoma cells express at least two distinct hormone-induced alkaline phosphatase isoenzymes.
    • One isoenzyme is of osseous origin, while the other resembles placental alkaline phosphatase.
    • These findings contribute to understanding enzyme expression in osteosarcoma and potential diagnostic markers.
