Celecoxib modulates adhesion of HT29 colon cancer cells to vascular endothelial cells by inhibiting ICAM-1 and VCAM-1 expression

BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE: Cyclooxygenase-2 (COX-2) is highly expressed during inflammation and can promote the progression of colorectal cancer. Interactions between cancer cells and vascular endothelial cells are key events in this process. Recently, the selective COX-2 inhibitor, celecoxib, was shown to inhibit expression of the adhesion molecules, ICAM-1 and VCAM-1, in the human colon cancer cell line HT29 and to inhibit adhesion of HT29 cells to FCS-coated plastic wells. Here, we evaluated the effects of celecoxib on adhesion of HT29 cells to human umbilical vein endothelial cells (HUVEC), mediated by ICAM-1 and VCAM-1, to assess further the potential protective effects of celecoxib on cancer development. EXPERIMENTAL APPROACH: Celecoxib was incubated for 4 h with HT29 cells and HUVEC and adhesion was quantified by a computerized micro-imaging system. Expression analysis of ICAM-1 and VCAM-1 cell adhesion molecules was performed by western blot. KEY RESULTS: Celecoxib (1 nM-10 microM) inhibited, with the same potency, adhesion of HT29 cells to resting HUVEC or to HUVEC stimulated by tumour necrosis factor-alpha (TNF-alpha), mimicking inflammatory conditions. Analysis of ICAM-1 and VCAM-1 expression showed that celecoxib inhibited expression of both molecules in TNF-alpha-stimulated HUVEC, but not in resting HUVEC; inhibition was concentration-dependent and maximal (about 50%) at 10 microM celecoxib. CONCLUSIONS AND IMPLICATIONS: In conclusion, our data show that celecoxib inhibits HT29 cell adhesion to HUVEC and expression of ICAM-1 and VCAM-1, in stimulated endothelial cells. These effects may contribute to the chemopreventive activity of celecoxib in the development of colorectal cancer.     

3,4-oxo-isopropylidene-shikimic acid inhibits adhesion of polymorphonuclear leukocyte to TNF-α-induced endothelial cells in vitro

AIM：To examine the effect of 3,4-oxo-isopropylidene-shikimic acid (ISA) on human polymorphonuclear leukocyte (PMN) adhesion to human umbilical vein endothelial cells (HUVEC) and explore its mechanism. METHODS:Adhesion of PMN to HUVEC was measured by rose bengal staining assay. Cell-EL1SA and RT-PCR methods were used to examine the expression of adhesion molecules ICAM-1. Cell viability was detected with MTT assay.RESULTS: ISA (1-100μmol/L) effectively reduced PMN adhesion to TNF-α-induced HUVEC with the inhibitory rate from 17.2% to 53.5%, and exerted no effect on PMN adhesion to normal HUVEC. Adhesion molecule ICAM-1 surface protein and mRNA expression induced by TNF-α (400kU/L) were significantly inhibited by ISA. In addition, the cell viability of HUVEC was unchanged 48h after treatment with ISA. CONCLUSION: ISA inhibited TNF-α-stimulated PMN-HUVEC adhesion and expression of ICAM-1.     

Manassantin a and b isolated fromSaururus chinensis inhibit TNF-α-induced Cell adhesion molecule expression of human umbilical vein endothelial cells

Leukocyte adhesion to the vascular endothelium is a critical initiating step in inflammation and atherosclerosis. We have herein studied the effect of manassantin A (1) and B (2), dineolignans, on interaction of THP-1 monocytic cells and human umbilical vein endothelial cells (HUVEC) and expression of intercellular adhesion molecule-1 (ICAM-1), vascular cell adhesion molecule-1 (VCAM-1), and E-selectin in HUVEC. When HUVEC were pretreated with 1 and 2 followed by stimulation with TNF-alpha, adhesion of THP-1 cells to HUVEC decreased in dose-dependent manner with IC50 values of 5 ng/mL and 7 ng/mL, respectively, without cytotoxicity. Also, 1 and 2 inhibited TNF-alpha-induced up-regulation of ICAM-1, VCAM-1 and E-selectin. The present findings suggest that 1 and 2 prevent monocyte adhesion to HUVEC through the inhibition of ICAM-1, VCAM-1 and E-selectin expression stimulated by TNF-alpha, and may imply their usefulness for the prevention of atherosclerosis relevant to endothelial activation.     

Inhibition of lipopolysaccharide activity by a bacterial cyclic lipopeptide surfactin

Compounds that inactivate lipopolysaccharide (LPS) activity have the potential of being new anti-inflammatory agents. Therefore, we searched among microbial secondary metabolites for compounds that inhibited LPS-stimulated adhesion between human umbilical vein endothelial cells (HUVEC) and HL-60 cells. By this screening, we found a cyclic lipopeptide surfactin from the culture broth of Bacillus sp. BML752-121F2 to be inhibitory. The addition of the surfactin prior to the LPS stimulation decreased HL-60 cell-HUVEC adhesion without showing any cytotoxicity. We confirmed that surfactin inhibited LPS-induced expression of ICAM-1 and VCAM-1 in HUVEC. It also inhibited the cellular adhesion induced by lipid A, the active component of LPS; but it did not inhibit TNF-alpha or IL-1 beta-induced cell adhesion. Then, surfactin was shown to suppress the interaction of lipid A with LPS-binding protein (LBP) that mediates the transport of LPS to its receptors. Finally, surface plasmon resonance (SPR) analysis revealed the surfactin to interact reversibly with lipid A. Thus, this Bacillus surfactin was shown to be an inhibitor of LPS-induced signal transduction, directly interacting with LPS.     

Effect of Zanthoxylum schinifolium on TNF-α-induced vascular inflammation in human umbilical vein endothelial cells

Pro-inflammatory cytokines induce the injury of endothelial cells in response to increases of adhesion molecules, leading to vascular inflammation and the development of atherosclerosis. In this study, we evaluated an ethanol extract of Zanthoxylum schinifolium (EZS) to determine if it inhibits the expressions of cellular adhesion molecules in human umbilical vein endothelial cells (HUVEC). When pretreatment of HUVEC with EZS, EZS suppressed the expression levels of cell adhesion molecules such as vascular cell adhesion molecule-1 (VCAM-1), intercellular adhesion molecule-1 (ICAM-1), and E-selectin induced by TNF-α. The adhesion of HL-60 cells to TNF-α-induced endothelial cells was decreased significantly in a concentration-dependent manner. Furthermore, TNF-α-induced MCP-1 and IL-8 mRNA expression levels were also attenuated by pretreatment with EZS. In addition, EZS suppressed TNF-α-induced production of reactive oxygen species (ROS). EZS inhibited NF-κB activation and IκB-α phosphorylation induced by TNF-α, subsequent degradation of IκB-α. Finally, EZS inhibited TNF-α-induced p38 MAPK and c-Jun N-terminal kinase (JNK) phosphorylation. Taken together, these results demonstrate that EZS suppresses vascular inflammatory process, which may be closely related to the inhibition of ROS, JNK, p38 MAPK and NF-κB activation in HUVEC.

Testosterone and estradiol modulate TNF-alpha-induced expression of adhesion molecules in endothelial cells

Cytokine-activated endothelial expression of adhesion molecules plays an important role in immune responses. In the present study, we investigated the influences of testosterone and 17 beta-estradiol on tumor necrosis factor-alpha (TNF-alpha)-induced expression of adhesion molecules in human umbilical vein endothelial cells (HUVEC). HUVEC were incubated with TNF-alpha, testosterone or 17 beta-estradiol separately, or in a combination of TNF-alpha plus testosterone or 17 beta-estradiol. The expression of E-selectin, vascular cell adhesion molecule-1 (VCAM-1) and intercellular adhesion molecule-1 (ICAM-1) was evaluated at 3, 6, 12 and 24 h following exposure by flow cytometric analysis. The results showed that although testosterone or 17 beta-estradiol did not affect the expression of these adhesion molecules in unstimulated HUVEC, both of them transiently increased the expression of E-selectin and VCAM-1 in TNF-alpha stimulated HUVEC. Neither testosterone nor 17 beta-estradiol affected the expression of ICAM-1 induced by TNF-alpha. It is concluded that both testosterone and 17 beta-estradiol increase TNF-alpha-induced expression of E-selectin and VCAM-1 in endothelial cells and these facts might indicate a mechanism by which gonadal hormones can indirectly enhance immune responses.     

Effect of IS-741 on cell adhesion between human umbilical vein endothelial cells and HL-60 cells

The effect of IS-741 (N-[(2-ethylsulfonylamino)-5-trifluoromethyl-3-pyridyl] cyclohexanecarboxamide monohydrate) on a model for pancreatitis has been previously reported. Recent patho-histological observations of remedial tests using rats found that the IS-741 administered group showed a low degree of tissue infiltration by inflammatory cells (polymorphonuclear leukocytes). We therefore examined cell adhesion, which is the first step in tissue infiltration by activated neutrophils, and investigated the effect of IS-741 on cell adhesion between human umbilical vein endothelial cells (HUVEC) and human promyelo-leukemia cell line (HL-60) cells during lipopolysaccharide stimulation in vitro. IS-741 significantly inhibited the adhesion of HL-60 cells to HUVEC. Further investigation of IS-741 on individual cells revealed that IS-741 mainly affected HL-60 cells. Investigation of the inhibitory effect of IS-741 at the molecular level (targeting adhesion molecules) also revealed that IS-741 had no effect on the appearance of endothelial leukocyte adhesion molecule-1 (ELAM-1), intercellular adhesion molecule-1 (ICAM-1) or vascular cell adhesion molecule-1 (VCAM-1) on HUVEC, which supports the theory that IS-741 is mainly effective on HL-60 cells, even at the molecular level. However, the inhibition of adhesion was noticed in experiments in which an anti-ICAM-1 or anti-VCAM-1 antibody was added to the adhesion test system. Therefore, IS-741 is likely to affect adhesion molecules which belong to the beta1 or beta2 integrin family.
