The relation between the expression and activity of MMP-9 in C-reactive protein (CRP)-induced human THP-1 mononuclear cells and the activation of nuclear factor kappa-B (NF-κB) was studied to investigate the possible role of CRP in plaque destabilization. Human THP-1 cells were incubated in the presence of CRP at 0 (control group), 25, 50 and 100 μg/mL (CRP groups) for 24 h. In PDTC (a specific NF-κB inhibitor) group, the cells were pre-treated with PDTC at 10 μmol/L and then with 100 μg/mL CRP. The conditioned media (CM) and human THP-1 cells in different groups were harvested. MMP-9 expression in CM and human THP-1 cells was measured by ELISA and Western blotting. MMP-9 activity was assessed by fluorogenic substrates. The expression of NF-κB inhibitor α (IκB-α) and NF-κB p65 was detected by Western blotting and ELISA respectively. The results showed that CRP increased the expression and activity of MMP-9 in a dose-dependent manner in the human THP-1 cells. Western blotting revealed that IiB-α expression was decreased in the cells with the concentrations of CRP and ELISA demonstrated that NF-κB p65 expression in the CRP-induced cells was increased. After pre-treatment of the cells with PDTC at 10 μmol/L, the decrease in IκB-α expression and the increase in NF-κB p65 expression in the CRP-induced cells were inhibited, and the expression and activity of MMP-9 were lowered too. It is concluded that increased expression and activity of MMP-9 in CRP-induced human THP-1 cells may be associated with activation of NF-κB. Down-regulation of the expression and activity of MMP-9 may be a new treatment alternative for plaque stabilization by inhibiting the NF-κB activation. 相似文献

Anisodamine Inhibits Engotoxin—induced Tissue Factor Expression in Human Endothelial Cells 总被引:2,自引:0,他引:2
By study on the effect of anisodamine on lipopolysaccharide-induced expression of tissue factor(TF) in vascular endothelial cells (EC),the mechanism of anisodamine antithrombosis,as well as in the treatment of bacteraemic shock was investigated.Human umbilical vein endothelial cells (HUVECs) were cultured by trypsin digestion method.TF activity was measured in the lysates of HUVEC by using a single step clotting assay.Specific mRNA expression was detected by Northern blotting.In order to evaluate a possible contribution of the nuclear factor (NF)-κB pathway on the effects observed,electrophoretic mobility shift assays (EMSA) were performed using nuclear extracts from HUVECs and NF-κB-binding oligonucleotides.The results showed that treatment of HUVEC with LPS resulted in a significant increase in TF activity.Anisodamine dose-dependently inhibited LPS-induced upregulation of TF.These effects was also confirmed on the level of specific TF mRNA expression by Northern blotting.Furthermore,EMSA showed that anisodamine completely abolished LPS-induced NF-κB DNA binding activity in nuclear extracts from HUVECs treated with LPS together with anisodamine.The results suggest that anisodamine counteracts endothelial cell activation by inhibiting LPS-induced TF expression in these cells.Its interference with the NF-κB pathway might-at least in part-contribute to this effect.The ability of anisodamine to counteract LPS effect on endothelial cells might be one underlying mechanism explaining its antithrombosis and efficacy in the treatment of bacteraemic shock. 相似文献

Inhibition of NF-κB by mutant IκBα enhances TNF-α-induced apoptosis in HL-60 cells by controlling bcl-xL expression 总被引:7,自引:0,他引:7
Backgound The aim of this study was to explore whether the inhibition of nuclear factor-κB (NF-κB)activation by mutant IκBα (S32,36→A) can enhance TNF-α-induced apoptosis of leukemia cells and to investigate the possible mechanism. Methods The mutant IκBα gene was transfected into HL-60 cells by liposome-mediated techniques. G418 resistant clones stably expressing mutant IκBα were obtained by the limiting dilution method. TNF-α-induced NF-κB activation was measured by electrophoretic mobility shift assay (EMSA). The expression of bcl-xL was detected by RT-PCR and Western blot after 4 hours exposure of parental HL-60 and transfected HL-60 cells to a variety of concentrations of TNF-α. The percentage of apoptotic leukemia cells was evaluated by flow cytometry (FCM). Results Mutant IκBα protein was confirmed to exist by Western blot. The results of EMSA showed that NF-κB activation by TNF-α in HL-60 cells was induced in a dose-dependent manner, but was almost completely inhibited by mutant IκBα repressor in transfected cells. The levels of bcl-xL mRNA and protein in HL-60 cells increased after exposure to TNF-α, but changed very little in transfected HL-60 cells. The inhibition of NF-κB activation by mutant IκBα enhanced TNF-α-induced apoptosis. Thecytotoxic effects of TNF-α were amplified in a time- and dose-dependent manner. Conclusions NF-κB activation plays an important role in the resistance to TNF-α-induced apoptosis. The inhibition of NF-κB by mutant IκBα could provide a new approach that may enhance the antileukemia effects of TNF-α or even of other cytotoxic agents. 相似文献

LPS-induced NF-κB activation requires Ca2+ as a mediator in isolated pancreatic acinar cells of rat 总被引:6,自引:0,他引:6
Objective To investigate the effect of Ca2+ on lipopolysaccharide (LPS)-induced NF-κB activation in pancreatic acinar cells and the role of NF-κB in LPS-induced acinar cell injury. Methods Male rat pancreatic acinar cells were isolated by collagenase digestion, then exposed to varying concentrations of LPS (from 1 to 20 mg/L) in the presence or absence of EGTA. At various time points (30 minutes, 1 hour, 2 hours, 4 hours and 10 hours) after treatment with the agents, cell viability was determined by MTT. Nuclear translocation of NF-κB’s subunit p65 was visualized by immunofluorescence staining and nuclei protein was extracted to perform EMSA which was used to assay the activity of NF-κB binding to the DNA sequence containing the recognition site of NF-κB. Results LPS induced cell damage in a time- and concentration-dependent manner while EGTA attenuated LPS-induced cell damage (P<0.05). NF-κB p65 immunofluorescence staining had increased intensity in the cytoplasm and indicated that nuclear translocation occurred within 30 minutes and its zenith was reached at 1 hour after LPS (10 mg/L) treatment. Testing of NF-κB DNA binding activity showed the same alteration phase as p65 immunofluorescence staining. NF-κB activation preceded the pathological alteration of pancreatic acinar cells. The Ca2+ chelator EGTA inhibited LPS-induced NF-κB activation. Conclusions NF-κB activation is an important early event in LPS-induced injury to pancreatic acinar cells. Ca2+ is an important mediator in the process of LPS-induced NF-κB activation. 相似文献

Homocysteine-induced Enhanced Expression of Tissue Factor in Human Vascular Smooth Muscle Cells 总被引:1,自引:0,他引:1
The homocysteine (Hcy)-induced tissue factor (TF) expression in human vascular smooth muscle cells (VSMCs) and the effect of Hcy on the activity of nuclear factor-kappaB (NF-кB) and the expression of inducible nitric oxide synthase (iNOS) were investigated. Human umbilical artery VSMCs were cultured by tissue explanting method, identified by α-actin immunohistochemistry, and incubated with different concentrations of Hcy/PTDC (NF-кB inhibitor). Semi-quantitative RT-PCR was performed to detect the expression of TF mRNA in VSMCs. Flow cytometry was used to assay the expression of TF protein on the surface of VSMCs and the expression of iNOS in VSMCs. Western blot was carried out to detect the expression of NF-кB protein in nuclei. The results showed that Hcy could induce VSMCs expressing TF mRNA significantly after the VSMCs were incubated with Hcy at concentrations of 10, 100, 500 μmol/L respectively. There was low expression level of TF protein on the surface of the resting VSMCs and Hcy could also induce VSMCs expressing TF pro- tein on the cell surface in different concentrations. Additionally, Hcy could rapidly induce the activation of NF-кB and this effect could be significantly inhibited by PDTC. Hcy alone could not induce the expression of iNOS in VSMCs. It was concluded that Hcy could significantly induce the expression of TF in VSMCs and enhance the activation of NF-ΚB, subsequently mediate TF gene expression and protein synthesis. NF-кB-mediated expression of TF in VSMCs might be the important mechanism of atherosclerosis and thrombosis induced by Hcy. 相似文献

The constitutive expression of nuclear-factor-κB (NF-κB) in human pigment epithelial (hRPE) cells cultivated in vitro and the possible changes when incubated with PDTC and IL-I were investigated. The synchronized hRPE cells in vitro were divided into two groups. In nonPDTC group, hRPE cells were exposed respectively to IL-1β and NS (for detecting the constitutive expressions of NF-κB in hRPE cells) ; In PDTC group, PDTC-pretreated hRPE cells were exposed respectively to IL-1β?Aand NS. (for detecting the constitutive expression of NF-κB in PDTC-pretreated hRPE cells). The expression of NF-κB in hRPE cells in two groups was detected by immunofluorescence stain and flow cytometry. The results showed that the constitutive expression of NF-κB in hRPE cells in vitro was 8.05 %, and increased to 30.26 % by IL-1β. After PDTC pretreatment, the constitutive expression of NF-κB in hRPE cells was decreased to 3.74%, and 3.66 % by IL-l,respectively. It was concluded that the expressions of NF-κB in hRPE cells could be increased significantly by IL-1βand depressed effectively by PDTC. Also, PDTC could significantly inhibit the activation of NF-κB induced by IL-1β. 相似文献

Summary: To investigate the effect of N-tosyl-L-phenylalanylchloromethyl ketone (TPCK) on tumor necrosis factor-alpha-induced NF-κB activation and apoptosis in U937 cell line, changes and subcellular localization of NF-κB/p65 and IκB-α were observed by fluorescencemicroscopy and expression and degradation of IκB-α by flow cytometry. The apoptosis of U937 cells was measured by flow cytometry and electrophoresis of DNA. Immunolfluorescence assay showed that NF-κB/p65,IκB-α only localized in cytoplasm. After TNF-α stimulation, p65 was localized only in nuclei, and IκB-α was only localized in cytoplasm and decreased. The changes of TNF-α stimulation were specifically inhibited by TPCK. Flow cytometry also revealed the downregulation of IκB-α protein during TNF-α-induced apoptosis and the down-regulation was specifically inhibited by TPCK. Flow cytometry also showed the apoptosis of U937 cells after TNF-α induction. DNA ladder can be detected in cells treated by TNF-α. It is concluded that degradation of IκB-α protein and NF-κB/p65 translocation occur during TNF-α-induced apoptosis of U937 cells, suggesting the activation of NF-κB.TPCK-sensitive protease plays an important role in the degradation of IκB-α protein induced by TNF-α in U937 cells. TPCK sensitive protease also plays an important role in the apoptosis of U937 cells induced by TNF-α. 相似文献
