Mollugin induces apoptosis in human Jurkat T cells through endoplasmic reticulum stress-mediated activation of JNK and caspase-12 and subsequent activation of mitochondria-dependent caspase cascade regulated by Bcl-xL

Exposure of Jurkat T cells to mollugin (15–30 μM), purified from the roots of Rubia cordifolia L., caused cytotoxicity and apoptotic DNA fragmentation along with mitochondrial membrane potential disruption, mitochondrial cytochrome c release, phosphorylation of c-Jun N-terminal kinase (JNK), activation of caspase-12, -9, -7, -3, and -8, cleavage of FLIP and Bid, and PARP degradation, without accompanying necrosis. While these mollugin-induced cytotoxicity and apoptotic events including activation of caspase-8 and mitochondria-dependent activation of caspase cascade were completely prevented by overexpression of Bcl-xL, the activation of JNK and caspase-12 was prevented to much lesser extent. Pretreatment of the cells with the pan-caspase inhibitor (z-VAD-fmk), the caspase-9 inhibitor (z-LEHD-fmk), the caspase-3 inhibitor (z-DEVD-fmk) or the caspase-12 inhibitor (z-ATAD-fmk) at the minimal concentration to prevent mollugin-induced apoptosis appeared to completely block the activation of caspase-7 and -8, and PARP degradation, but failed to block the activation of caspase-9 and -3 with allowing a slight enhancement in the level of JNK phosphorylation. Both FADD-positive wild-type Jurkat clone A3 and FADD-deficient Jurkat clone I2.1 exhibited a similar susceptibility to the cytotoxicity of mollugin, excluding involvement of Fas/FasL system in triggering mollugin-induced apoptosis. Normal peripheral T cells were more refractory to the cytotoxicity of mollugin than were Jurkat T cells. These results demonstrated that mollugin-induced cytotoxicity in Jurkat T cells was mainly attributable to apoptosis provoked via endoplasmic reticulum (ER) stress-mediated activation of JNK and caspase-12, and subsequent mitochondria-dependent activation of caspase-9 and -3, leading to activation of caspase-7 and -8, which could be regulated by Bcl-xL.     

大叶茜草素抑制大鼠CFSC-2G细胞活化和胶原合成

目的:观察大叶茜草素(mollugin)对大鼠肝星状细胞系CFSC-2G活化和胶原合成的影响并探讨其分子机制。方法:小剂量(10μmol/L)过氧化氢(H_2O_2)诱导CFSC-2G细胞30 min后,再加入不同浓度(0、20、40、60和120μmol/L)的mollugin处理。MTT法检测细胞活力,real-time PCR和Western blot法分别检测核因子E2相关因子2(Nrf2)、血红素加氧酶-1(HO-1)、核因子κB(NF-κB)p65、Bcl-2、Bcl-x L、Bax以及肝星状细胞活化标志物α-平滑肌肌动蛋白和Ⅰ型胶原蛋白的mRNA和蛋白表达,并用Western blot法检测p38丝裂原活化蛋白激酶(p38MAPK)的磷酸化水平。结果:低剂量H_2O_2可以诱导CFSC-2G细胞活化,mollugin明显促进p38 MAPK磷酸化,上调Nrf2和HO-1的mRNA和蛋白表达,下调NF-κB p65、Bcl-2和Bcl-x L的mRNA和蛋白表达,抑制H_2O_2诱导活化的CFSC-2G细胞活力和胶原合成(P0.05)。结论:Mollugin可能通过上调Nrf2和HO-1并下调NF-κB p65和Bcl-2表达,抑制CFSC-2G细胞活化和胶原合成。     

洛伐他丁、氯胺和茉莉酸甲酯处理对茜草悬浮培养细胞中紫色素和大叶茜草素积累的作用(英文)

目的:使用茜草细胞悬浮培养体系研究茜草中萘醌类成分生合成途径原料IPP的来源,以及茉莉酸甲酯、氯胺和洛伐他丁对蒽醌和萘醌的积累情况。方法:建立茜草细胞悬浮培养体系,分别在培养基中添加茉莉酸甲酯、氯胺和洛伐他丁。每3天取样一次。使用高效液相色谱法测定紫色素和大叶茜草素含量并计算出产量。结果:洛伐他丁处理组中紫色素和大叶茜草素产量均有显著增加。氯胺处理组中紫色素和大叶茜草素产量明显下降。茉莉酸甲酯处理组中紫色素产量增加,同时大叶茜草素产量降低。结论:在茜草细胞中萘醌类成分的IPP可能是通过MEP途径合成的;要解释茉莉酸甲酯对蒽醌和萘醌积累的不同作用,基因表达水平方面的研究尤其是对1,4-二羟基-2-萘甲酸异戊烯基化的基因表达研究应该受到更多关注。

Neuroprotective and anti-inflammatory effects of mollugin via up-regulation of heme oxygenase-1 in mouse hippocampal and microglial cells

Mollugin, a bioactive phytochemical isolated from Rubia cordifolia L. (Rubiaceae), exhibits antimutagenic activity, antitumor activity, antiviral activity, and inhibitory activity in arachidonic acid- and collagen-induced platelet aggregation. In this study, we investigated the effects of mollugin as a neuroprotective agent in glutamate-induced neurotoxicity in the mouse hippocampal HT22 cell line and as an anti-inflammatory agent in lipopolysaccharide-induced microglial activation in BV2 cells. Mollugin showed potent neuroprotective effects against glutamate-induced neurotoxicity and reactive oxygen species generation in mouse hippocampal HT22 cells. In addition, the anti-inflammatory effects of mollugin were demonstrated by the suppression of pro-inflammatory mediators, including pro-inflammatory enzymes (inducible nitric oxide synthase and cyclooxygenase-2) and cytokines (tumor necrosis factor-α and interleukin-6). Furthermore, we found that the neuroprotective and anti-inflammatory effects of mollugin were linked to the up-regulation of the expression of heme oxygenase (HO)-1 and the activity of HO in HT22 and BV2 cells. In addition, the effects of mollugin resulted in the nuclear accumulation of nuclear factor-E2-related factor 2 (Nrf2) in HT22 and BV2 cells. Furthermore, mollugin also activated the p38 mitogen-activated protein kinase (MAPK) pathway both in HT22 and BV2 cells. These results suggest that mollugin may be a promising candidate for the treatment of neurodegenerative diseases related to neuroinflammation.
