Acute-phase serum proteins were induced by
administrating a chicken with turpentine oil. One of these proteins was
a new protein that appeared in front of albumin in polyacrylamide disc
gel electrophoresis using a 4.5 Several acute-phase proteins in serum, such as C-reactive protein,
hemopexin, fibrin, fibrinogen, transferrin, Tohjo et al. (10) described two proteins, named 18-B and
18-C, that appeared in abundance after administration of turpentine. These proteins migrated in front of albumin in 4.5-16% polyacrylamide disc gel electrophoresis
(PAGE).1 Since 18-B was not
detected in the serum of healthy chickens, the protein was considered
to be a new acute-phase protein. Tohjo et al. (10) did not
further characterize 18-B.
On the other hand, Urban et al. (11) reported that a new
acute-phase In this study, we attempted to identify a new acute-phase protein in
chicken serum to establish a new marker for acute-phase inflammation.
Thus, we purified a turpentine-induced protein from chicken serum and
compared its molecular properties with those of the rat protein. In
addition, we report the physiological function, cDNA cloning, and
characteristics of 18-B.
Chicken Serum--
An adult female Leghorn chicken was
intramuscularly administrated with turpentine (3 ml/kg of body weight)
and bled 48 h later. Serum was prepared and was stored at
Isolation Procedure of 18-B--
Saturated ammonium sulfate
solution was added to the serum to 50% saturation, and the mixture was
allowed to stand for 1 h at room temperature. A precipitate formed
and was removed by centrifugation at 10,000 × g for 30 min at 10 °C. The supernatant was dialyzed against 1,000 volumes of
borax-phosphate buffer (20 mM
Na2B4O7·10H2O and 60 mM NaH2PO4·2H20, pH
8.1) overnight at 4 °C. The dialyzed sample was applied to a
DEAE-Toyopearl 650S column (0.8 × 25 cm, Tosoh Co., Tokyo, Japan)
equilibrated with the same buffer. Proteins were eluted from the column
by the linear gradient method with 0-0.5 M NaCl in
borax-phosphate buffer at a flow rate of 1 ml/min. The eluate was
monitored at 280 nm. The fraction corresponding to a peak that was not
observed in the serum of healthy chickens was collected. The purified
protein was identified as 18-B by its mobility in the gradient gel
electrophoresis (12).
Chemical Analysis--
Protein concentration was determined by
the method of Lowry et al. (13) with BSA as the standard
protein. The protein concentration in the column effluent was monitored
by an UV monitor at a wavelength of 280 nm. Total carbohydrate content
was determined by the phenol-sulfuric acid method with glucose as the
standard (14). Sugar chains were analyzed using ConA, WGA, UEA-I, SBA,
DBA, RCA-I, and PNA (Lectin Kit I, Vector Laboratories, Inc.,
Burlingame, CA).
Electrophoresis--
SDS-PAGE was carried out by the method of
Laemmli (15) using myosin, Immunological Assay--
Gel double diffusion tests to assay the
purity and antigenicity were done in 1% agarose in phosphate-buffered
saline. Immunoblotting was performed by Towbin's method (17). A rabbit
anti-chicken whole serum antibody and a rabbit anti-chicken albumin
antibody were purchased from ICN Pharmaceuticals, Inc. (Aurora,
OH). A goat anti-rabbit IgG labeled with horseradish peroxidase was
obtained from Bio-Rad. A TMB Membrane Peroxidase Substrate
System (Kirkegaard & Perry Laboratories Inc., Gaithersburg, MD)
was used to detect the protein bands.
N-terminal Sequence Analysis--
The protein 18-B was blotted
to a polyvinylidene difluoride membrane (Immobilon Transfer Membranes,
Nihon Millipore Ltd., Tokyo, Japan) after SDS-PAGE on a 7.5%
gel. The N-terminal amino acid sequence was determined by Edoman method
with a model 477A protein sequencer on-line with a model 120A
phenylthiohydantoin-derivative analyzer (PerkinElmer Life Sciences).
Preparations of Chicken Heterophils--
Heterophils were
isolated by means of a discontinuous gradient of 18 and 24% Ficoll
(Ficoll 400, Amersham Pharmacia Biotech AB, Uppsala, Sweden) according
to the established method (18). The isolated cells were suspended in
Ca2+/Mg2+-free HBSS (Life Technologies, Inc.).
Cell viability was always more than 95% by a trypan blue exclusion test.
Preparation of Stimulants--
All the chemicals used below were
purchased from Sigma. PMA and luminol were dissolved in dimethyl
sulfoxide (Me2SO) at a stock concentration of 1 mg/ml and 100 mM, respectively. The final concentration of
PMA was 1 µg/ml. The preparation of sOZ was done by treating zymosan
A from Saccharomyces cerevisiae with fresh, normal chicken
serum at a concentration of 0.01 mg/ml for 60 min at 37 °C. The
final concentration of sOZ was 1 mg/ml.
Chemiluminescence Assay--
Superoxide (O ESR Spectroscopy--
Spin-trapping for oxygen free radicals
from stimulated heterophils was performed by using DEPMPO (Oxis
International Inc., Portland, OR). Cells (5 × 10 6 cells) were suspended in 216 µl of
Ca2+/Mg2+-free HBSS containing 10 mM DEPMPO, 1 mM CaCl2, and 2 mM MgCl2 without or with 3.5 µg of 18-B, or
Cu/Zn-SOD (40 units/ml). After cells were stimulated by addition of 24 µl of PMA (10 µg/ml) or sOZ (10 mg/ml), the reaction mixture was
immediately transferred into quartz ESR flat cells (LLC-04B, Labotec
Co., Tokyo, Japan). Then ESR spectra were recorded at room temperature
(24 °C) with an X-band ESR spectrometer (RE-1X, JEOL Co., Tokyo,
Japan). The interval from the end of incubation to the start of ESR
measurements was 1 min. ESR settings were as follows: modulation
frequency, 100 kHz; modulation amplitude, 0.1 millitesla; scanning
field, 334.6 ± 15 mT; receiver gain, 5 × 103
for sOZ or 2.5 × 10 3 for PMA; time constant,
0.3 s; sweep time, 8 min; microwave power, 12 milliwatts;
microwave frequency, 9.415 GHz.
RNA Isolation, cDNA Synthesis, and PCR
Amplification--
Total RNA was isolated from chicken tissues with
TriZOL reagent (Life Technologies, Inc.) according to the
manufacturer's instructions. First strand cDNA was synthesized
utilizing dT18-tailed oligonucleotide primer (KAUAP-18T,
5'-GACGACAAGGGGCCACGCG-18 dTTP-3') using Superscript II reverse
transcriptase (Life Technologies, Inc.). The cDNA was added to a
solution of 0.5 µM each forward and reverse primers derived from
N-terminal amino acid sequences determined by Edoman method, and PCR
was performed with Taq DNA polymerase (Takara, Kyoto, Japan).
DNA Sequencing--
To determine the sequence of the amplified
products, PCR products were subcloned into the pGEM-T easy vector
(Promega Co., Madison, WI). DNA sequencing was performed on at least
three independent PCR products in both directions by the dideoxy-chain
termination technique using the Big Dye Terminator Cycle
Sequencing Ready Reaction Kit (PerkinElmer Life Sciences).
RACE--
3'-RACE was carried out with primer P1
(5'-CCAGTACAGCTGAAGTTCGC-3') and adapter primer KAUAP. For further
specification, a nested PCR was carried out with primer P2
(5'-GTACAGCTGAAGTTCGCCTG-3') and primer AUAP
(5'-GGCCACGCGTCGACTAGTAC-3') using the previous PCR product as a
template. From the obtained 3'-cDNA sequence, two gene-specific
reverse primers, P3 (5'-GGACCACCTACCAGGTTTGT-3') and P4
(5'-AAGCGGACCACCTACCAGGT-3'), were designed for 5'-RACE. 5'-Reverse
transcription was carried out with the outer primer P4 followed by
RNase H treatment. The first strand cDNA was tailed at the 3'-end
by terminal deoxynucleotidyl transferase (Life Technologies, Inc.) with
dCTP and then subjected to PCR. The second strand cDNA was
synthesized with primer KAUAP-GI
(5'-KAUAP-TCGACTAGTACGGGIIGGGIIGGGIIG-3'). PCR amplification was
carried out with primer P4 and KAUAP. Nested PCR was carried out using
the primer P3 and AUAP, and the PCR products were subcloned and
sequenced as described above.
Identification--
In the disc electrophoresis of chicken serum
obtained after turpentine administration, two protein bands appeared in
front of the albumin band (Fig.
1B). It was proved by
4.5-16% PAGE that the protein purified from the whole serum by
salting-out and DEAE chromatography corresponds to the 18-B reported by
Tohjo et al. (10). To determine whether the protein, 18-B,
could be detected in normal chicken serum and whether it was
antigenically different from chicken albumin, Western blotting was
carried out. The 18-B was not detectable in the normal serum (Fig.
2B, lane 1), but the purified materials positively reacted with rabbit anti-chicken whole serum (Fig. 2B, lane 2). With anti-chicken
albumin, only albumin, but not 18-B, was immunologically stained (Fig.
2C). These results indicate that 18-B exists at a very low
concentration in normal chicken serum and is antigenically different
from albumin.
Purification of 18-B--
The serum proteins in the
turpentine-treated chicken were separated by DEAE chromatography (Fig.
3). When the column was eluted by the
linear gradient method, 18-B was released in the high ionic strength
phase as shown in Fig. 3. Finally, 0.4 mg of 18-B was obtained from 1 ml of the chicken acute-phase serum.
Molecular Weight Determination--
The SDS-PAGE pattern indicated
18-B is a single peptide, and its molecular size is 54 or 66 kDa in the
absence or presence of 2-mercaptoethanol, respectively (Fig.
4, lanes 2 and
3).
Carbohydrate Constitution--
18-B showed a positive reaction in
PAS staining (Fig. 5A). A
phenol-sulfuric acid assay indicated that 18-B contains ~28.6% (w/w)
carbohydrate. 18-B was stained with ConA only, which is specific for
terminal mannose residues, but it was not stained by WGA, UEA-I, SBA,
DBA, RCA-I, or PNA (Fig. 5B). These results indicate that
18-B is a glycoprotein with mannose.
N-terminal Sequence--
The N-terminal amino acid sequence
determined by Edoman method is shown in the gray highlighted
areas of Fig. 8A. Primers for initial PCR were designed in
this region.
Effects of 18-B on the Luminol-enhanced Chemiluminescence in PMA-
and sOZ-stimulated Heterophils--
To study the involvement of 18-B
in the functions of avian heterophils, we measured luminol-enhanced
chemiluminescence from PMA-stimulated heterophils. PMA is known to
directly stimulate PKC, to phosphorylate NADPH oxidase component such
as p47phox and then activate NADPH oxidase to produce
O Spin-trapping Detection of the Oxygen Radicals in PMA- and
sOZ-stimulated Heterophils and the Effects of 18-B on the O cDNA Cloning of 18-B--
We obtained the cDNA sequence of
18-B from a combination of PCR products as described under
"Experimental Procedures" (Fig. 8A). The 1,410-bp open reading
frame was followed by a 244-bp 3'-untranslated region. A potential
polyadenylation signal was located 16 bp upstream of the poly(A) tail.
The open reading frame encoded a protein with 470 deduced amino acids.
There are two potential sites for N-linked glycosylation.
The N-terminal region of deduced protein had the features of a secreted
protein, which contained 20 hydrophobic amino acids. This hydrophobic
peptide was followed by four cysteine-rich domains, each ~100
amino acids in length. These domains are significantly homologous to
the cysteine-rich domains found in the SRCR group B family of
proteins (Fig. 8B).
In this study, 18-B was purified by salting-out and DEAE
chromatography, finally yielding 0.4 mg of 18-B from 1 ml of the chicken acute-phase serum. This protein corresponds to 18-B reported by
Tohjo et al. (10) and was first isolated in the present
study. This protein is a single peptide with a molecular mass of 54 kDa.
Several chicken serum proteins, such as C-reactive protein, hemopexin,
fibrin, fibrinogen, transferrin, Urban et al. (11) reported a novel turpentine-induced
glycoprotein with a single peptide chain in rat. This protein has a
molecular mass of 56 kDa and a pI value of 4.7. These properties are similar to those of 18-B, but the N-terminal amino acid sequences of these two proteins are not homologous. These results suggest that
18-B is a new turpentine-induced protein of chicken.
To further understand the function of 18-B, the complete amino acid
sequence was determined by cDNA cloning. The deduced amino acid
sequence of 18-B has four repeated sequences. A search of all sequences
in the GenBankTM data base was carried out to identify
similar sequences, which resulted in homology with members of the SRCR
family of proteins, such as hensin, macrophage scavenger receptor, WC1,
CRP-ductin, ebnerin, CD163, Sp Leukocyte function is regulated by a discrete number of cell surface
and secreted antigens that govern leukocyte activation, proliferation,
survival, cell adhesion and migration, and effector function. Among the
proteins that have been shown to regulate leukocyte function are
members of the SRCR family (36 The function of members of the SRCR group B family is not defined
conclusively and fully understood yet. WC1 is involved in In conclusion, our studies demonstrate that turpentine-induced 18-B is
a new member of SRCR family of proteins, which may be implicated in
regulation of cell function.
16% gel. To purify this
protein, turpentine-administrated chicken serum was fractionated by
ammonium sulfate precipitation at 50% saturation, and the supernatant
fraction was chromatographed on a DEAE-Toyopearl 650S column. The
purified protein is a mannose-glycoprotein, and its N-terminal
sequence, determined by the Edoman method, is not homologous from that
of other reported acute-phase proteins. An analysis of
physiological function with two different test systems,
chemiluminescence measurement and electron spin resonance spectroscopy,
showed that the purified protein has antioxidant activity and inhibits
superoxide (O
, CD6,
and CD163. These findings indicate that turpentine-induced 18-B, a new
member of scavenger receptor cysteine-rich family, may be
implicated in regulation of cell function in a manner of inhibition of
the overproduction of the reactive oxygen species.

, CD5, and CD6. There are two types of
SRCR family: SRCR group A domains contain six cysteine residues
and are encoded by two exons, which include macrophage scavenger
receptor and related proteins (26), etc. SRCR group B domains contain eight cysteine residues and are encoded by a single exon, which include leukocyte antigens CD5, CD6, CD163 (M130), WC1, and Sp

(27
31). Each of the cysteine-rich domains of 18-B shares high
degrees of sequence homology with that of SRCR group B family, in
particular conserved sequence elements, including eight cysteine residues. These indicate that 18-B belongs to the SRCR group B family.
The domain organization of 18-B is similar to, but different from,
those of the previously reported proteins. Because 18-B is composed
exclusively of SRCR domains, it can be distinguished from multidomain
proteins that have both CUB (C1r/C1s Uegf Bmp 1) and ZP (zona
pellucida) domains besides SRCR domain, such as hensin, CRP-ductin, and
ebnerin (32
34). Furthermore, 18-B has neither transmembrane nor
cytoplasmic domain, which indicates that 18-B is different from
membrane proteins, such as CD5, CD6, and CD163 (27, 35, 29). Secreted
protein, Sp
, is the only protein that has such a simple domain
organization, which is composed of SRCR domain only (31). However,
comparison of 18-B with Sp
revealed two major differences: the
primary structure of 18-B is longer by 123 residues than that of Sp

and 18-B has four domains, whereas Sp
has three SRCR domains. On the
basis of these findings, we propose that 18-B is a new member of the
SRCR group B family of proteins.
