title: Impairment of bile salt-dependent lipase secretion in human pancreatic tumoral SOJ-6 cells.
abstract: Bile salt-dependent lipase (BSDL) was detected in human SOJ-6 and rat AR4-2J pancreatic cells. Whereas AR4-2J cells actively secreted the enzyme, BSDL was retained within the Golgi compartment of SOJ-6 cells. Because Rab6 is involved in vesicle transport in the Golgi apparatus and the trans-Golgi network, we confirmed the presence of Rab6 in these cells. In rat AR4-2J cells, Rab6 as well as Rab1A/B and Rab2, partitioned between the cytosol and microsomes. In SOJ-6 cells Rab1A/B and Rab2 also partitioned between the cytosol and microsomes, but Rab6 was strictly associated with microsome membranes, suggesting a specific defect of Rab6 cycling in human SOJ-6 cells. The apparent defect of cycling in these cells is not due to the expression of a defective Rab6 since its correct sequence was confirmed. We further demonstrated that AR4-2J and SOJ-6 cells express the Rab-GDIbeta and Rab-GDIalpha isoforms, respectively. However, the sequence of Rab-GDIbeta, which may be the main form expressed by SOJ-6 cells, identified a few substitutions located in regions that are essential for Rab-GDI function. We conclude that the deficient secretion of BSDL by SOJ-6 cells could be due to the expression of defective Rab-GDIbeta. In spite of the alterations in Rab-GDIbeta, membrane proteins such as CD71 and NHE3 were correctly localized to the cell plasma membrane of SOJ-6 cells, suggesting that two functional distinct secretory pathway coexist in pancreatic cells.
