still unknown. In this study, we report for the first time the interaction b<strong>et</strong>ween cath-Dand the extracellu<strong>la</strong>r domain of the b chain of LRP1.MATERIALS AND METHODSMaterials. Human mammary fibrob<strong>la</strong>sts (HMFs), kindly provi<strong>de</strong>d by J. Pi<strong>et</strong>te (IGM,Montpellier, France), were obtained from re<strong>du</strong>ction mammop<strong>la</strong>sty tissues from apatient without cancer.cath-D-/- MEF-cath-D,cath-D-/- MEF- D231N cath-D and cath-Dtransfected 3Y1-Ad12 cells were previously <strong>de</strong>scribed (15). LRP1-/- MEF and LRP1+/-MEFs were purchased from ATCC. B-41 cells, LRP1-/- MEF cells stably transfected withthe full-length human LRP1, were kindly provi<strong>de</strong>d by D. Strick<strong>la</strong>nd (UniversityMary<strong>la</strong>nd School of Medicine, Baltimore, USA). Cells were cultured in DMEMmedium with 10% f<strong>et</strong>al calf serum (FCS, GibcoBRL). The 11H4 hybridoma directedagainst the C-terminal part of LRP1b chain was purchased at ATCC. Polyclonal antihumanLRP1b-chain antiserum was previously <strong>de</strong>scribed (19). The anti-human cath-D monoclonal antibody (BD Biosciences) used for immuno-blotting recognized 52-,48- and 34-kDa forms of cath-D. The anti-human cath-D M1G8 monoclonal antibodyused for immuno-precipitation and purification recognized 52-, 48- and 34-kDa formsof cath-D. The anti-human, cath-D monoclonal antibody M2E8, used for immunofluorescence,interacts only with 52-kDa pro-cath-D. Anti-b actin polyclonal antibodywas purchased from Sigma.P<strong>la</strong>smids. pcDNA3.1(+)Myc-tagged LRP1b chain, pcDNA3.1(-)cath-D andpcDNA3.1(-) D231N cath-D expression p<strong>la</strong>smids have previously been <strong>de</strong>scribed (12).The pcDNA3.1(+)LRP1b extracellu<strong>la</strong>r domain (1-476) expression p<strong>la</strong>smid wascreated by inserting the PCR-amplified cDNA encoding LRP1b (1-476) from4
