Cancer chemoprevention by tea polyphenols through modulating signal transduction pathways 总被引:5,自引:0,他引:5
Lin JK 《Archives of pharmacal research》2002,25(5):561-571
The action mechanisms of several chemopreventive agents derived from herbal medicine and edible plants have become attractive issues in cancer research. Tea is the most widely consumed beverage worldwide. Recently, the cancer chemopreventive actions of tea have been intensively investigated. It have been demonstrated that the active principles of tea were attributed to their tea polyphenols. Recently, tremendous progress has been made in elucidating the molecular mechanisms of cancer chemoprevention by tea and tea polyphenols. The suppression of various tumor biomarkers including growth factor receptor tyrosine kinases, cytokine receptor kinases, PI3K, phosphatases, ras, raf, MAPK cascades, N x FB, I x B kinase, PKA, PKB, PKC, c-jun, c-fos, c-myc, cdks, cyclins, and related transducing proteins by tea polyphenols has been studied in our laboratory and others. The I x B kinase (IKK) activity in LPS-activated murine macrophages (RAW 264.7 cells) was found to be inhibited by various tea polyphenols including (-) epigallocatechin-3-gallate (EGCG), theaflavin (TF-1), theaflavin-3-gallate (TF-2) and theaflavin-3,3'-digallate (TF-3). TF-3 inhibited IKK activity in activated macrophages more strongly than did the other tea polyphenols. TF-3 inhibited both IKK1 and IKK2 activity and prevented the degradation of I x B x and I x B x in activated macrophage cells. The results suggested that the inhibition of IKK activity by TF-3 and other tea polyphenols could occur by a direct effect on IKKs or on upstream events in the signal transduction pathway. TF-3 and other tea polyphenols blocked phosphorylation of IB from the cytosolic fraction, inhibited NFB activity and inhibited increases in inducible nitric oxide synthase levels in activated macrophage. TF-3 and other tea polyphenols also inhibited strongly the activities of xanthine oxidase, cyclooxygenase, EGF-receptor tyrosine kinase and protein kinase C. These results suggest that TF-3 and other tea polyphenols may exert their cancer chemoprevention through suppressing tumor promotion and inflammation by blocking signal transduction. The mechanisms of this inhibition may be due to the blockade of the mitogenic and differentiating signals through modulating EGFR function, MAPK cascades, NFkappaB activation as well as c-myc, c-jun and c-fos expression. 相似文献

1. Although accumulating studies have identified I kappa B kinase (IKK) to be essential for controlling NF-kappa B activity in response to several cytokines, the upstream kinases that control IKK activity are still not completely known. We have previously reported that G protein-coupled P2Y(6) receptor activation by UTP potentiates lipopolysaccharide (LPS)-induced I kappa B phosphorylation and degradation, and NF-kappa B activation in J774 macrophages. In this study, we investigated the upstream kinases for IKK activation by UTP and LPS. 2. In murine J774 macrophages, LPS-induced NF-kappa B activation was inhibited by the presence of PDTC, D609, Ro 31-8220, PD 098059 and SB 203580. 3. Accompanying NF-kappa B activation, LPS induced I kappa B degradation and IKK activation were reduced by PDTC, D609, Ro 31-8220 and PD 098059, but not by SB 203580. 4. Although UTP itself slightly induced IKK activation, this response was synergistic with LPS. BAPTA/AM and KN-93 (a calcium/calmodulin-dependent protein kinase (CaMK) inhibitor) attenuated UTP- but not LPS-stimulated IKK activity. Synergistic IKK activation between LPS and thapsigargin was further demonstrated in peritoneal macrophages. 5. LPS and UTP co-stimulation additively increased p65 NF-kappa B phosphorylation. In vitro kinase assays revealed that LPS and UTP induced extracellular signal-regulated protein kinase (ERK) and p38 mitogen-activated protein kinase activation were respectively inhibited by PD098059 and SB 203580. 6. Taken together, we demonstration that Gq protein-coupled P2Y(6) receptor activation can potentiate LPS-stimulated IKK activity. While PKC and ERK participate in IKK activation by LPS and UTP, the phosphatidylinositide-phospholipase C-dependent activation of CaMK plays a major role in UTP potentiation of the LPS response. 相似文献

Inhibition of NF-kappa B activation through targeting I kappa B kinase by celastrol, a quinone methide triterpenoid 总被引:2,自引:0,他引:2

Celastrol, a quinone methide triterpenoid, was isolated as an inhibitor of NF-kappaB from Celastrus orbiculatus. This compound dose-dependently inhibited a variety of stimuli-induced NF-kappa B-regulated gene expression and the DNA-binding of NF-kappa B in different cell lines without affecting DNA-binding activity of AP-1. Preincubation of celastrol completely blocked the LPS-, TNF-alpha-, or PMA-induced degradation and phosphorylation of I kappa B alpha. Importantly, celastrol inhibited IKK activity and the constitutively active IKK beta activity in a dose-dependent manner without either affecting the NF-kappa B activation induced by RelA over-expression or directly suppressing the DNA-binding of activated NF-kappa B. However, mutation of cysteine 179 in the activation loop of IKK beta abolished sensitivity towards to celastrol, suggesting that celastrol suppressed the NF-kappa B activation by targeting cysteine 179 in the IKK. To verify that celastrol is a NF-kappa B inhibitor, we investigated its effect on some NF-kappa B target genes expressions. Celastrol prevented not only LPS-induced mRNA expression of iNOS and TNF-alpha, but also TNF-alpha-induced Bfl-1/A1 expression, a prosurvival Bcl-2 homologue. Consistent with these results, celastrol significantly suppressed the production of NO and TNF-alpha in LPS-stimulated RAW264.7 cells, and increased the cytotoxicity of TNF-alpha in HT-1080 cells. We also demonstrated that celastrol showed anti-inflammatory and anti-tumor activities in animal models. Taken together, this study extends our understanding on the molecular mechanisms underlying the anti-inflammatory and anti-cancer activities of celastrol and celastrol-containing medicinal plant, which would be a valuable candidate for the intervention of NF-kappa B-dependent pathological conditions. 相似文献

The therapeutic effects of alpha-lipoic acid (alpha-LA) via NF-kappa B down regulation were demonstrated on joint inflammation and erosion in an animal model. In this study, we investigated how alpha-LA inhibits the pathway of NF-kappa B activation by TNF-alpha via the mitogen-activated protein kinase (MAPK) pathway in rheumatoid arthritis (RA) fibroblast-like synovial cells (FLS). FLS were stimulated with TNF-alpha following pre-treatment with or without alpha-LA. Electrophoretic mobility shift assays (EMSA) revealed that TNF-alpha activates NF-kappa B in FLS. This was inhibited by alpha-LA at concentrations of 1 mM. TNF-alpha induced IKK mediated phosphorylation of GST-I kappa B and pre-treatment with alpha-LA inhibited this pathway. FLS constitutively express MEKK1, MEKK2, MEKK3, and TAK1 and that their levels are unaffected by TNF-alpha or alpha-LA. Immunoprecipitation using anti-MEKK1 antibody phosphorylated GST-I kappa B and pre-treating the cells with alpha-LA could abolish the reaction. FLS were immunoprecipitated using an antibody to MEKK1, and MKK4 was coprecipitated with MEKK1. In addition, immune complexes precipitated with anti-MKK4 antibody phosphorylated GST-I kappa B, and pre-treatment with alpha-LA inhibited the phosphorylation. Immunoprecipitation assay showed that MEKK1, MKK4, IKK-alpha, IKK-beta, I kappa B, and NF-kappa B comprised immunocomplex. It can be concluded that TNF-alpha activates NF-kappa B in FLS through MEKK1-MKK4-IKK signaling complex, and alpha-LA inhibits this signaling at the level of or upstream of IKK-alpha and IKK-beta. 相似文献

Silica induces nuclear factor-kappa B activation through tyrosine phosphorylation of I kappa B-alpha in RAW264.7 macrophages 总被引:8,自引:0,他引:8
It was previously reported that protein tyrosine kinase (PTK) but not protein kinase C or A plays an important role in silica-induced activation of NF-kappa B in macrophages. The question is raised whether PTK stimulation and NF-kappa B activation in silica-stimulated macrophages are directly connected through tyrosine phosphorylation of I kappa B-alpha. Results indicate that stimulation of macrophages with silica led to NF-kappaB activation through tyrosine phosphorylation without serine phosphorylation. Specific inhibitors of protein tyrosine kinase, such as genistein and tyrophostin AG126, prevented tyrosine phosphorylation of I kappa B-alpha in response to silica. I kappa B-alpha protein levels remained relatively unchanged for up to 60 min after silica stimulation. Moreover, inhibition of proteasome proteolytic activity did not affect NF-kappa B activation by silica. Antioxidants, such as superoxide dismutase (SOD), N-acetylcysteine (NAC), and pyrrolidine dithiocarbamate (PDTC), blocked tyrosine phosphorylation of I kappa B-alpha induced by silica, suggesting reactive oxygen species (ROS) may be important regulatory molecules in NF-kappa B activation through tyrosine phosphorylation of I kappa B-alpha. The results suggest that tyrosine phosphorylation of I kappa B-alpha represents a proteasome proteolytic activity-independent mechanism for NF-kappa B activation that directly couples NF-kappa B to cellular tyrosine kinase in silica-stimulated macrophages. This proposed mechanism of NF-kappa B activation induced by silica could be used as a target for development of antiinflammatory and antifibrosis drugs. 相似文献

A sesquiterpene lactone, costunolide (CTN), was identified from Magnolia grandiflora together with parthenolide (PTN) by its strong inhibition of LPS-induced NF-kappa B activation. CTN, which showed more potent inhibition than PTN in the NF-kappa B activation, strongly suppressed nitric oxide (NO) production in LPS-stimulated RAW 264.7 cells. RT-PCR and Western blot analyses demonstrated that CTN suppressed the expression of iNOS mRNA and protein in a dose-dependent manner. CTN also significantly inhibited LPS-induced DNA-binding activity of NF-kappa B as well as the LPS-induced degradation of I kappa B-alpha and -beta. Furthermore, CTN inhibited LPS-induced phosphorylation of I kappa B-alpha. These findings support that CTN inhibits NO production by down-regulating iNOS expression, at least, in part through the inhibition of I kappa Bs' phosphorylation and degradation, which are essential for the activation of NF-kappa B. 相似文献

We investigated the inhibition of IkappaB kinase (IKK) activity in lipopolysaccharide (LPS)-activated murine macrophages (RAW 264.7 cell line) by various polyphenols including (-)-epigallocatechin-3-gallate, theaflavin, a mixture of theaflavin-3 gallate and theaflavin-3'-gallate, theaflavin-3,3'-digallate (TF-3), pyrocyanidin B-3, casuarinin, geraniin, and penta-O-galloyl-beta-D-glucose (5GG). TF-3 inhibited IKK activity in activated macrophages more strongly than did the other polyphenols. TF-3 strongly inhibited both IKK1 and IKK2 activity and prevented the degradation of IkappaBalpha and IkappaBbeta in activated macrophage cells. The results suggested that the inhibition of IKK activity by TF-3 could occur by a direct effect on IKKs or on upstream events in the signal transduction pathway. Furthermore, geraniin, 5GG, and TF-3 all blocked phosphorylation of IKB from the cytosolic fraction, inhibited nuclear factor-kappaB (NFkappaB) activity, and inhibited increases in inducible nitric oxide synthase levels in activated macrophages. These results suggest that TF-3 may exert its anti-inflammatory and cancer chemopreventive actions by suppressing the activation of NFkappaB through inhibition of IKK activity. 相似文献

We have previously reported that green tea catechins displayed a potent antithrombotic effect by inhibition of platelet aggregation. In the present study, the antiplatelet and antithrombotic activities of epigallocatechin gallate (EGCG), the major catechin derived from green tea, were extensively investigated. EGCG inhibited arterial thrombus formation and U46619-, collagen-, and arachidonic acid (AA)-induced washed rabbit platelet aggregation in a concentration-dependent manner, with IC50 values of 61 +/- 3, 85 +/- 4, and 99 +/- 4 microM, respectively. In line with the inhibition of collagen-induced platelet aggregation, EGCG revealed blocking of the collagen-mediated phospholipase (PL) Cgamma2 and protein tyrosine phosphorylation, and it caused concentration-dependent decreases of cytosolic calcium mobilization, AA liberation, and serotonin secretion. In addition, the platelet aggregation, intracellular Ca2+ mobilization, and protein tyrosine phosphorylation induced by thapsigargin, a Ca2(+)-ATPase pump inhibitor, were completely blocked by EGCG. Contrary to the inhibition of AA-induced platelet aggregation, EGCG failed to inhibit cyclooxygenase and thromboxane (TX) A2 synthase activities, but it concentration-dependently elevated AA-mediated PGD2 formation. In contrast, epigallocatechin (EGC), a structural analogue of EGCG lacking a galloyl group in the 3' position, slightly inhibited collagen-stimulated cytosolic calcium mobilization, but failed to affect other signal transductions as did EGCG in activated platelets and arterial thrombus formation. These results suggest that antiplatelet activity of EGCG may be attributable to its modulation of multiple cellular targets, such as inhibitions of PLCgamma2, protein tyrosine phosphorylation and AA liberation, and elevation of cellular PGD2 levels, as well as maintaining Ca2(+)-ATPase activity, which may underlie its beneficial effect on the atherothrombotic diseases. 相似文献

To elucidate the intracellular mechanism of NF-kappa B activation, we performed the involvement of I kappa B alpha of NF-kappa B in the expression of inducible NO synthase (iNOS) and chemokine (CINC) following pretreatment with bacterial endotoxin (LPS) or IL-1 beta, respectively, using rat C6 glioma cells. We found that herbimycin A, a tyrosine protein kinase inhibitor, blocked: 1) LPS/IFN gamma-induced iNOS expression, 2) LPS-induced intranuclear translocation of activated NF-kappa B (p50. p65) and 3) IFN gamma-induced autophosphorylation and activation of Jak 2 and Stat 1 as well as intranuclear translocation of phosphorylated Stat 1. Furthermore, transfection of a dominant negative form of I kappa B alpha (SS-->AA) suppressed LPS/IFN gamma-induced iNOS expression, suggesting that NF-kappa B, in particular, I kappa B alpha molecules could play important roles in the iNOS expression. We also found in IL-1 beta-induced CINC expression using cultured C6 glioma cells, the transient translocation of NF-kappa B in response to IL-1 beta is partly dependent on transient proteasome activation. Thus we suggest that the formation of heterodimer p50.p65 from inactive trimer p50.p65.I kappa B alpha, particularly, proteolytic degradation and dissociation of I kappa B alpha from p50.p65 are a critical phase in NF-kappa B activation during LPS-induced iNOS and IL-1 beta-induced CINC expression in astroglial cells. 相似文献

N-Acetyl-L-cysteine and pyrrolidine dithiocarbamate inhibited nuclear factor-κB activation in alveolar macrophages by different mechanisms 总被引:3,自引:0,他引:3
AIM: To study the effects of N-acetyl-L-cysteine (NAC) and pyrrolidine dithiocarbamate (PDTC) on the phosphorylation of IkappaB kinase (IKK) beta, IKK alpha, and IkB alpha in alveolar macrophages (AM), and to explore the pharmacological mechanisms of NAC and PDTC as inhibitors of NF-kappaB activation. METHODS: AM were collected from bronchoalveolar lavage fluid from the patients with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease. The AM were incubated for 1.5 h with NAC and PDTC, and then stimulated for 90 min by either tumor necrosis factor (TNF)- alpha or interleukin (IL)-1. Western blotting was used to detect the protein phosphorylation levels of IKKbeta, IKK alpha, and IkappaB alpha. NF-kappaB activity was analyzed by using an electrophoretic mobility shift assay. RESULTS: NAC inhibited the phosphorylation of IKKbeta, IKK alpha, and IkappaB alpha induced by TNF-a, but had no effect on the phosphorylation of IKKbeta, IKK alpha and IkappaB alpha induced by IL-1. PDTC did not inhibit the phosphorylation of IkappaB alpha induced by TNF- alpha or IL-1. Similarly, NAC inhibited the activation of NF-kB induced by TNF- alpha, but had no effect on the activation of NF-kappaB induced by IL-1. PDTC significantly inhibited the activation of NF-kappa B induced by TNF- alpha and IL-1. The electrophoretic mobility shift assay also showed that PDTC and NAC do not directly inhibit NF-kappa B DNA binding activity in vitro. CONCLUSION: PDTC prevents the degradation of IkappaB alpha via the ubiquitylation-proteasome proteolytic pathway. NAC can inhibit the processes upstream of IKK activation induced by TNF- alpha, which results in the decline of NF-kappaB activity. 相似文献

The multicatalytic proteinase or proteasome is a highly conserved cellular structure that is responsible for the ATP-dependent proteolysis of many proteins involved in important regulatory cellular processes. We have identified a novel class of inhibitors of the chymotrypsin-like proteolytic activity of the 20S proteasome that exhibit IC50 values ranging from 0.1 to 0.5 microgram/mL (0.1 to 1 microM). In cell proliferation assays, these compounds inhibit growth with an IC50 ranging from 5 to 10 micrograms/mL (10-20 microM). A representative member of this class of inhibitors was tested in other biological assays. CVT-634 (5-methoxy-1-indanone-3-acetyl-leu-D-leu-1-indanylamide) prevented lipopolysaccharide (LPS), tumor necrosis factor (TNF)-, and phorbol ester-induced activation of nuclear factor kappa B (NF-kappa B) in vitro by preventing signal-induced degradation of I kappa B-alpha. In these studies, the I kappa B-alpha that accumulated was hyperphosphorylated, indicating that CVT-634 did not inhibit I kappa B-alpha kinase, the enzyme responsible for signal-induced phosphorylation of I kappa B-alpha. In vivo studies indicated that CVT-634 prevented LPS-induced TNF synthesis in a murine macrophage cell line. In addition, in mice pretreated with CVT-634 at 25 and 50 mg/kg and subsequently treated with LPS, serum TNF levels were significantly lower (225 +/- 59 and 83 +/- 41 pg/mL, respectively) than in those mice that were treated only with LPS (865 +/- 282 pg/mL). These studies suggest that specific inhibition of the chymotrypsin-like activity of the proteasome is sufficient to prevent signal-induced NF-kappa B activation and that the proteasome is a novel target for the identification of agents that may be useful in the treatment of diseases whose etiology is dependent upon the activation of NF-kappa B. 相似文献

The chemokine stromal-derived factor-1α (SDF-1α) and its receptor, CXCR4, play a crucial role in adhesion and migration of human cancer cells. Integrins are the major adhesive molecules in mammalian cells. Here we found that SDF-1α increased the migration and cell surface expression of β1 or β3 integrin in human lung cancer cells (A549 cells). CXCR4-neutralizing antibody, CXCR4 specific inhibitor (AMD3100) or small interfering RNA against CXCR4 inhibited the SDF-1α-induced increase in the migration of lung cancer cells. Stimulation of cells with SDF-1α caused an increase in extracellular signal regulated kinase (ERK) phosphorylation in a time-dependent manner. In addition, treatment of A549 cells with ERK inhibitor (PD98059), NF-κB inhibitor (PDTC) or IκB protease inhibitor (TPCK) inhibited SDF-1α-induced cells migration and integrins expression. Treatment of A549 cells with SDF-1α induced IκB kinase α/β (IKK α/β) phosphorylation, IκBα phosphorylation, IκBα degradation, p65 Ser536 phosphorylation, and κB-luciferase activity. The SDF-1α-mediated increases in IKK α/β phosphorylation, p65 Ser536 phosphorylation, and κB-luciferase activity were inhibited by PD98059 and ERK2 mutant. Taken together, these results suggest that SDF-1α acts through CXCR4 to activate ERK, which in turn activates IKKα/β and NF-κB, resulting in the activations of β1 and β3 integrins and contributing the migration of lung cancer cell. 相似文献
