The extracellular heterodimeric protein S100A8/A9 activates the innate immune system through activation of the receptor of advanced glycation end products (RAGE) and Toll-like receptors. As activation of RAGE has recently been associated with sustained myocardial inflammation and heart failure (HF) we studied the role of S100A8/A9 in the development of post-ischemic HF. Hypoxia led to sustained induction of S100A8/A9 accompanied by increased nuclear factor (NF-)κB binding activity and increased expression of pro-inflammatory cytokines in cardiac fibroblasts and macrophages. Knockdown of either S100A8/A9 or RAGE rescued the induction of pro-inflammatory cytokines and NF-κB activation after hypoxia. In a murine model of post-ischemic HF both cardiac RNA and protein levels of S100A8/A9 were elevated as soon as 30 min after hypoxia with sustained activation up to 28 days after ischemic injury. Treatment with recombinant S100A8/A9 resulted in reduced cardiac performance following ischemia/reperfusion. Chimera experiments after bone marrow transplantation demonstrated the importance of RAGE expression on immune cells for their recruitment to the injured myocardium aggravating post-ischemic heart failure. Signaling studies in isolated ventricles indicated that MAP kinases JNK, ERK1/2 as well as NF-κB mediate signals downstream of S100A8/A9-RAGE in post-ischemic heart failure. Interestingly, cardiac performance was not affected by administration of S100A8/A9 in RAGE?/?-mice, which demonstrated significantly improved cardiac recovery compared to WT-mice. Our study provides evidence that sustained activation of S100A8/A9 critically contributes to the development of post-ischemic HF driving the progressive course of HF through activation of RAGE.  相似文献

Iron deposits preferentially in myocytes in mixed cultures of cardiac myocytes and nonmyocytic fibroblasts. In vivo, iron overload is associated with cardiac fibrosis. Therefore, we examined whether iron loading of cardiac myocytes in culture could trigger a response in nonmyocytes characteristic of a fibrogenic phenotype. We found that the nonmyocytes adopted a myofibroblast phenotype in culture. The rate of DNA synthesis (measured by [3H]thymidine incorporation) by the nonmyocytes was decreased by the myocyte-conditioned medium, compared to that of the unconditioned medium, and this activity was retained in >10-kDa fractions. The rate was partially restored when the medium was obtained from iron-loaded myocytes, and in this medium, the >10-kDa fraction was even more effective in reversing the suppression of proliferation. This suppression suggests a decreased secretion of a growth-inhibitory substance in the iron-loaded myocytes, and this effect was partially reversed when the iron-loaded cells were treated with the iron chelator, deferoxamine. This indicates that cardiac myocytes may play a paracrine role in suppressing the proliferation of myofibroblasts that is partially overcome when the myocytes are iron overloaded. The myocyte-conditioned medium also affects the myofibroblast phenntype, increasing the cells' fibronectin mRNA content and decreasing α-smooth-muscle actin mRNA. The myocyte-conditioned medium increases transforming growth factor-β (TGF-β) secretion by myofibroblasts, but the TGF-β content of the conditioned medium was found to play, at most, a minor role in determining the response of the myofibroblast.  相似文献

目的 观察高密度脂蛋白(HDL)及阿托伐他汀对氧化型低密度脂蛋白(oxLDL)刺激下3T3-L1脂肪细胞肿瘤坏死因子-α(TNFα)分泌及mRNA表达的影响,并探讨其可能的作用机制.方法 3T3-L1脂肪细胞促分化成熟后,oxLDL刺激脂肪细胞,给予不同浓度的HDL(10~100 μg/mL)和阿托伐他汀(0.1~10 μM),及H-89(10 μM)+HDL(100 μg/mL)干预,收集细胞,测定脂肪细胞TNFα水平、TNFα mRNA表达水平、核因子-κB(NF-κB)活性及NF-κB抑制单位(IκB)蛋白浓度.结果 oxLDL刺激使3T3-L1脂肪细胞TNFα分泌、mRNA表达水平及NF-κB活性明显增强.阿托伐他汀浓度依赖性降低TNFα 分泌及mRNA表达,抑制NF-κB活化.10 μM阿托伐他汀使oxLDL诱导的脂肪细胞TNFα mRNA表达降低56.5%,NF-κB活性减少41.2%.HDL也呈浓度依赖性抑制TNFα分泌及mRNA表达,降低NF-κB活性,减少IκB降解.与oxLDL刺激组比较,100 μg/ml HDL使TNFα mRNA表达降低64.5%,NF-κB活性减少49%,并明显增加IκB蛋白水平.HDL的这些抗炎效应能被蛋白激酶A(PKA)抑制剂(应放在H89第一次出现之处)H-89部分抑制.结论 HDL能抑制oxLDL诱导的3T3-L1脂肪细胞TNFα分泌和mRNA表达,PKA-IκB-NF-κB信号通路可能是其中作用途径之一,该效应不需要HDL与oxLDL的直接接触作用.阿托伐他汀亦通过NF-κB途径抑制oxLDL诱导的3T3-L1脂肪细胞TNFα分泌和mRNA表达.HDL的抗炎作用强度与阿托伐他汀相似.  相似文献

Activation of NF-κB contributes to cardiac hypertrophy and the interleukin-1 receptor (IL-1R)-mediated MyD88-dependent signaling pathway predominately activates NF-κB. Recent studies have shown that the TIR/BB-Loop mimetic (AS-1) disrupted the interaction of MyD88 with the IL-1R, resulting in blunting of NF-κB activation. We have examined the effects of AS-1 on the IL-1β-induced hypertrophic response using cultured neonatal cardiac myocytes in vitro and transverse aortic constriction (TAC) pressure overload-induced cardiac hypertrophy in vivo. Neonatal cardiac myocytes were treated with AS-1 15?min prior to IL-1β stimulation for 24?h. AS-1 treatment significantly attenuated IL-1β-induced hypertrophic responses of cardiac myocytes. In vivo experiments showed that AS-1 administration prevented cardiac hypertrophy and dysfunction induced by pressure overload. AS-1 administration disrupted the interaction of IL-1R with MyD88 in the pressure overloaded hearts and prevented activation of NF-κB. In addition, AS-1 prevented increases in activation of the MAPK pathway (p38 and p-ERK) in TAC-induced hypertrophic hearts. Our data suggest that the IL-1R-mediated MyD88-dependent signaling pathway plays a role in the development of cardiac hypertrophy and AS-1 attenuation of cardiac hypertrophy is mediated by blocking the interaction between IL-1R and MyD88, resulting in decreased NF-κB binding activity and decreased MAPK activation.  相似文献

Beta(2)-adrenergic receptor agonists have been shown to modulate airway epithelial cell and smooth muscle release of cytokines and growth factors transforming growth factor (TGF) beta, associated with remodeling, is known to up-regulate the synthesis of vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) and stimulate differentiation of fibroblasts to the myofibroblast phenotype. VEGF and fibronectin can promote angiogenesis and (S)-albuterol can induce VEGF secretion from normal human lung fibroblasts (NHLF). We hypothesize that (S)-albuterol could stimulate myofibroblast secretion and expression of VEGF and fibronectin in the presence of Dermatophagoides pteronyssinus extract. Cultured NHLFs were stimulated with IL-1beta, TGF-beta, D. pteronyssinus, and treated with (R)- and (S)-enantiomers of albuterol. VEGF and fibronectin and basic fibroblast growth factor (bFGF) were measured by ELISA and mRNA. VEGF secretion by fibroblasts was twofold higher with 10(-7) M of (R) relative to (S) (p < 0.05). Myofibroblast secretion of VEGF was increased twofold over fibroblasts, but there was no difference between enantiomers. (S)-albuterol at 10(-8)-10(-4) M caused an increase in VEGF mRNA that paralleled VEGF secretion relative to 10(-8)-10(-4) M. Fibronection secretion by myofibroblasts but not fibroblasts was increased by 10(-5) M of (S) relative to (R) in the presence of recombinant interleukin 1 (rhIL-1)beta and D. pteronyssinus (S)-albuterol at 10(-6) M increased bFGF. The 10(-6) M of (S)-albuterol, but not (R)-albuterol, may promote angiogenesis. Increased fibronectin or bFGF by (S)-albuterol could enhance matrix deposition and remodeling in a subset of asthmatic patients.  相似文献

OBJECTIVE: Tumor necrosis factor alpha (TNFalpha) is implicated in myocardial remodeling, a process in which activated cardiac fibroblasts (myofibroblasts) secrete matrix-degrading metalloproteinases (MMPs) and undergo increased proliferation and invasion. Statins are cholesterol-lowering drugs that also have direct cellular effects, which may underlie their ability to reduce myocardial remodeling. This study investigated the effect of TNFalpha on human cardiac myofibroblast proliferation, invasion and MMP-9 secretion, and determined whether these properties were modulated by simvastatin. METHODS: Human cardiac myofibroblasts were cultured from right atrial appendage. TNF receptor expression was quantified by immunoblotting. Cell proliferation, invasion, MMP-9 secretion and MMP-9 mRNA expression were determined by cell counting, Matrigel-coated modified Boyden chamber assays, gelatin zymography and RT-PCR, respectively. RESULTS: Human atrial myofibroblasts expressed the TNF-RI and TNF-RII receptor subtypes. TNFalpha (1 ng/ml) induced a 23.1+/-3.9% increase in cell number after 4 days (P<0.001). Additionally, TNFalpha (1-10 ng/ml) significantly (P<0.01) increased myofibroblast invasion, with a concomitant increase in MMP-9 secretion, that was due to increased MMP-9 mRNA levels. Using TNF-R-specific neutralizing antibodies, we determined that these cellular effects of TNFalpha were predominantly TNF-RI-mediated. Simvastatin (0.1-10 mumol/l) concentration dependently inhibited TNFalpha-induced myofibroblast proliferation, invasion and MMP-9 secretion. CONCLUSIONS: TNFalpha, acting predominantly via the TNF-R1 receptor, increased human atrial myofibroblast proliferation, invasion and MMP-9 secretion, all of which were inhibited by simvastatin. Inhibition of cytokine-induced cardiac myofibroblast activation by statins provides a rationale for their use in patients with cardiac pathologies characterized by adverse myocardial remodeling.  相似文献

Norepinephrine has growth-promoting effects in cardiac myocytes. The present study in cultured neonatal rat cardiac myocytes tested the hypothesis that norepinephrine also stimulates expression of vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF), an important angiogenic factor. As assessed by polymerase chain reaction cardiac myocytes and non-myocytes expressed all three isoforms of rat VEGF, with the short isoform (VEGF 121 ) preferentially expressed in non-myocytes. When cardiac myocytes were stimulated with 1 micro M norepinephrine for 24 h in the presence or absence of the specific alpha - and beta -adrenoceptor antagonists prazosin and propranolol, respectively, VEGF mRNA levels and splice variant pattern did not change, whereas atrial natriuretic peptide mRNA levels increased 3 to 4-fold. CoCl(2) increased VEGF mRNA levels in cardiac myocytes five-fold. When cardiac myocytes were cultured with conditioned medium from non-myocytes that had been stimulated with norepinephrine for 24 h VEGF mRNA increased 2-fold. The increase was blocked by antibodies neutralizing TGF beta. These data suggest that norepinephrine stimulates myocardial angiogenesis by a paracrine mechanism that involves cardiac non-myocytes and TGF beta.  相似文献

Background

Intestinal myofibroblasts contribute to immune regulation in adults with inflammatory bowel disease but have not been characterised in neonatal intestinal inflammatory diseases.

Aims

To compare lipopolysaccharide (LPS)-stimulated interleukin-8 (IL-8) production between human foetal and mature intestinal myofibroblasts in vitro.

Methods

Foetal, neonatal and adult cells were stimulated with increasing concentrations of E. coli LPS. In LPS stimulated foetal myofibroblasts, Toll-like receptor 4 mRNA expression was assessed by real-time PCR whilst Toll-like receptor 4 receptor activity was determined using anti-Toll-like receptor 4 antibody. Mitogen activated protein kinase pathway activity was assessed using chemical inhibitors and Western blotting. IL-8 production was measured by quantitative ELISA.

Results

IL-8 production by LPS stimulated foetal myofibroblasts occurred in a dose dependent manner. Toll-like receptor 4 expression was constitutive and Toll-like receptor 4 receptor blockade reduced IL-8 production by 42% (P = 0.0262). C-Jun N-terminal kinase, p38 and NF-κB inhibitors significantly attenuated LPS stimulated IL-8 production by 42%, 33% and 2%, respectively. Mitogen activated protein kinase activity was confirmed by the presence of phosphorylated proteins on Western blots.

Conclusion

These data demonstrate increased IL-8 production by foetal myofibroblasts that is partially mediated by Toll-like receptor 4, mitogen activated protein kinase and NF-κB cell signalling pathways. Intestinal myofibroblasts cells may contribute to the dysregulated inflammatory response in the immature intestine and may form targets that lead to new therapies to prevent neonatal intestinal inflammatory bowel diseases.  相似文献
