Proteins of the Brain Extracellular Fluid: Evidence for Release of S‐100 Protein

Abstract: Extracellular protein fractions were obtained (1) by mild, isotonic irrigation of freshly perfused brain tissue; (2) by collection of proteins released into superfusing medium by physiologically viable slices of rat hippocampus; and (3) by sampling the CSF of anesthetized rats. Analysis of the S-100 protein content of these fractions gave values of 2.8, 4.2, and 1.8 micrograms S-100/mg protein, respectively. These values were three- to sixfold higher than the S-100 content of the soluble cytoplasmic protein fr… Show more

“…We could show that about 66% of S100A6 content in glioblastoma cells was released within 20 min following an increase of intracellular Ca 2ϩ . In addition, the S100 proteins represent about 0.2% of the soluble proteins present in the extracellular space of the rat brain, a value 3-6-fold higher than the S100 protein levels in the cytoplasmic fraction (60). Altogether these observations make it very plausible that S100B and S100A6 occur at high levels in the brain where they could thus play the role of mediators of brain cell communication like glutamate, Ca 2ϩ , or acetylcholine.…”

“…The heterodimer (αβ) and homodimer (ββ, called S-100B) are present in high concentrations in astrocytes and Schwann cells (15). Small quantities of S-100B are also located in the cerebrospinal fluid at concentrations of 1.43 ± 0.49 μg/L (17) and in the brain interstitial fluid as well (21). The S-100B protein has a half-life in the serum of 2 hours (22).…”

“…This is consistent with the observations that members of the S100 gene family lacking a basic residue-rich domain at their carboxyl terminus are released into the extracellular compartment following expression in mammalian cells (17,18,21) and may imply that the carboxyl-terminal basic residue-rich domain in S100A13 functions to associate with target proteins, while the remainder of the S100A13 may be involved in penetration through the lipid bilayer. Indeed, S100B and S100A10 do not contain a basic residue-rich domain, yet S100B is released by glial cells (55,56), and S100A10 has been reported not only to associate with plasminogen in the extracellular compartment but is able to stimulate tissue-dependent plasminogen activation either alone or as a complex with Anx2 (57). These and other studies (58,59) have implicated the function of S100, Anx2, and phosphatidylserine as key mediators of the extrinsic coagulation and fibrinolytic systems on the surface of the endothelial cell (57)(58)(59).…”
