Lipocortin 1 (annexin 1) in patches associated with the membrane of a lung adenocarcinoma cell line and in the cell cytoplasm

Lipocortin 1 (annexin I) is a calcium- and phospholipid-binding annexin protein which can be externalised from cells despite the lack of a signal sequence. To determine its cellular distribution lipocortin 1 in A549 human lung adenocarcinoma cells was localised by light- and electron-microscopic immunocytochemistry and by cell fractionation and western blotting. Lipocortin 1 immunoreactivity is concentrated in prominent patches associated with the plasma membrane. The intensity of these patches varied with the confluence and duration of the culture and was not detectably diminished by an EDTA wash before fixation. Tubulin and cytokeratin 8 were colocalized with lipocortin 1 in the patches. Within the cells lipocortin 1 was distributed throughout the cytoplasm. Electron microscopy revealed prominent immunoreactivity along the plasma membrane with occasional large clusters of gold particles in contact with the membrane surface of the cells; within the cytoplasm the membrane of some vesicle/vacuole structures and some small electron-dense bodies was immunoreactive, but no immunogold particles were associated with the multilamellar bodies. Subcellular fractionation, extraction and western blotting showed that lipocortin 1 in the membrane pellet was present as two distinct fractions; one, intimately associated with the lipid bilayer, which behaved like an integral membrane protein and one loosely attached which behaved like a peripheral membrane protein. The results show that a substantial amounts of lipocortin 1 is concentrated in focal structures associated with and immediately beneath the plasma membrane. These might form part of the mechanism by which lipocortin 1 is released from the cells.
