Disease relevance of Dolichos

  • The binding of the lectins from peanut, soy bean and Dolichos biflorus (specific for galactose and/or N-acetyl-D-galactosamine), to human breast carcinomas has been investigated [1].
  • Receptors for three lectins with restricted specificities, namely fucose-binding protein of Lotus tetragonolobus (FBP), peanut agglutinin (PNA) and Dolichos biflorus agglutinin (DBA), were distinctively located in 6- and 7-day mouse embryos and in embryoid bodies of teratocarcinoma OTT6050 grown in vivo [2].
  • For example, in order to monitor in vitro differentiation of multipotential embryonal carcinoma cells, stage-specific embryonic antigen-1 (SSEA-1) and the Lotus agglutinin receptor have been used as markers of the undifferentiated cells, and the Dolichos agglutinin receptor has been used as a marker of extraembryonic endoderm cells [3].
  • In squamous metaplasia induced by vitamin A deficiency, Dolichos biflorus agglutinin (DBA), wheat germ agglutinin (WGA), and peanut agglutinin (PNA) showed faint (+) to moderate (++) binding in both basal and suprabasal cells; Concanavalin A (Con A) showed moderate binding (++) to suprabasal cells and no binding in basal cells [4].
  • GDH and LDH activity in presence of hexaconazole was strongly affected in intact cells of some standard culture of bacteria like Rhizobium sp. (host Dolichos sp., 32.1 and 72.5%), Bacillus subtilis Cohn (86.75 and 76.5%), Azotobacter sp. (36.9 and 55.4%) and B. sphaericus (67.6% GDH) respectively [5].
 

High impact information on Dolichos

  • We report here the development of a mutation-induced marker in mice heterozygous at the Dlb-1 locus which determines the expression of binding sites for the lectin Dolichos biflorus agglutinin (DBA) in intestinal epithelium [6].
  • Competitive binding assays using 3H-labeled blood group A substance and insolubilized Dolichos biflorus lectin or human anti-A were carried out, measuring competition by blood group A1 and A2 glycoproteins, and by unabsorbed anti-A sera, and with these sera absorbed with the A1 and A2 glycoproteins [7].
  • In the adult proximal colon only the goblet cell mucin in the upper portion of the crypts was specifically labeled by the lectin Dolichos biflorus agglutinin (DBA), whereas this gradient was progressively lost distally; mucin in the upper and lower crypts of the sigmoid colon and rectum bound the label uniformly [8].
  • cDNA cloning of FRIL, a lectin from Dolichos lablab, that preserves hematopoietic progenitors in suspension culture [9].
  • By the fourth passage after treatment, both carcinogens induced increased survival, colony formation in agar-methocel, multinucleation, and increased reactivity with the tumor associated antigen B1:1, an epitope of carcinoembryonic antigen, and the lectins concanavalin A, Dolichos biflorus, and soybean agglutinin [10].
 

Biological context of Dolichos

 

Anatomical context of Dolichos

  • The immunophenotype of ductular structures was assessed by the expression of two bile duct epithelium determinants, wide spectrum cytokeratin and epithelial membrane antigen (EMA), and by their glycoconjugate expression using the specific binding lectins Dolichos biflorus agglutinin (DBA) and soybean agglutinin (SBA) [16].
  • RESULTS: Among goblet cells from colonic mucosa samples of individuals without colonic neoplasia, there was a high mean deoxycholate-induced apoptotic index (AI) of 59.1% and high Dolichos biflorus agglutinin (DBA) lectin reactivity (differentiation) in 85.0% of samples [17].
  • The presence of these yolk sac endoderm layers was confirmed by light microscopy and analysis of biochemical markers including alpha-fetoprotein, type IV collagen, laminin, and binding sites for Dolichos biflorus agglutinin [18].
  • Therefore the pulmonary capillaries of 18 Large White pigs aged less than 10 minutes, 1 week, and 6 months (six animals at each age) were perfused with cationized ferritin and the peroxidase conjugated lectins Dolichos bifloris, concanavalin A, Triticum vulgaris, and Ricinus communis type 2 [19].
  • B lymphocyte specificity of lectins of Cepaea nemoralis and Dolichos biflorus: paradoxical binding of anti-A active lectins to human lymphocyte subclasses [20].
 

Associations of Dolichos with chemical compounds

 

Gene context of Dolichos

  • Histochemical analysis 14 days after transplantation showed that some ducts were positive for Pax-2, endo A cytokeratin, kidney-specific cadherin, and Dolichos biflorus agglutinin and that dichotomous branching of these ducts had occurred [25].
  • This assay entailed coating microtiter plate wells with dolichos biflorus agglutinin and detecting the bound mucin that was secreted into a buffer solution by the tracheal segments [26].
  • The dysplastic tubules are of distal nephron origin [Dolichos biflorus agglutinin (DBA)- and aquaporin-2 (AQP2) positive, and angiotensinogen negative] [27].
  • This antibody recognizes a 116-kDa glycoprotein, which we have termed CST1, containing sugar residues that bind Dolichos biflorans lectin (DBA) [28].
  • Cells from junctional tissue and gingival tissue were compared immunocytochemically using monoclonal antibodies to keratin, vimentin, and desmoplakins I and II and using Dolichos biflorus agglutinin (DBA) [29].
