OBJECTIVES: We tested the hypothesis that CD40 ligand (CD40L) induces a prothrombotic state by enhancing oxidative stress. BACKGROUND: Patients with hypercholesterolemia show an ongoing prothrombotic state, but the underlying mechanism is still unclear. METHODS: Circulating levels of the soluble form of CD40L (sCD40L), prothrombin fragment (F1+2, a marker of thrombin generation), and 8-hydroxy-2'-deoxyguanosine (8-OHdG, a marker of oxidative stress) were measured in 40 patients with hypercholesterolemia and in 20 age- and gender-matched healthy subjects. RESULTS: Patients with hypercholesterolemia showed significantly higher levels of sCD40L (p <0.005), 8-OHdG (p <0.005), and prothrombin F1+2 (p <0.005), as compared with control subjects. Soluble CD40L significantly correlated with 8-OHdG (r=0.85, p <0.0001) and prothrombin F1+2 (r=0.83, p <0.0001); a significant correlation between 8-OHdG and prothrombin F1+2 was also observed (r=0.64, p <0.0001). An in vitro study demonstrated that CD40L-stimulated monocytes from patients with hypercholesterolemia expressed more tissue factor (TF) and prothrombin F1+2 than monocytes from controls; co-incubation of monocytes with either an inhibitor of NADPH oxidase or an inhibitor of phosphatidylinositol-3-kinase significantly reduced CD40L-mediated clotting activation. A marked inhibition of CD40L-mediated clotting activation was also observed in two male patients with hereditary deficiency of gp91 phox, the central core of nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide phosphate (NADPH) oxidase. Finally, we demonstrated that CD40L-mediated clotting activation was significantly inhibited by vitamin C, a known antioxidant. CONCLUSIONS: This study indicates that in patients with hypercholesterolemia, CD40L over-expresses TF and increases the thrombin generation rate by an oxidative stress-mediated mechanism that requires the activation of NADPH oxidase. 相似文献

Endogenous matrix metalloproteinases (MMPs) and their inhibitors, tissue inhibitor of metalloproteinases (TIMPs), are important mediators of extracellular matrix remodeling, which is integral to plaque progression in coronary artery disease. In addition, high levels of the soluble fragment of CD40 ligand (sCD40L) have previously been associated with adverse cardiovascular outcomes. We hypothesized that circulating levels of MMP-9, TIMP-1, TIMP-2, and sCD40L were abnormal in patients who had stable coronary artery disease, and these levels were compared with those in matched controls. We also hypothesized correlations of MMPs, TIMPs, and sCD40L to each other and to high-sensitivity C-reactive protein (a proinflammatory marker), white blood cell count, severity of coronary artery disease (based on angiographic measurements of atherosclerotic burden), and coronary collateralization. We studied 204 adult patients who attended our unit for outpatient diagnostic cardiac catheterization for the investigation of suspected coronary artery disease. Coronary angiograms were scored for atheroma burden and stenosis by 2 independent observers. Circulating levels of MMP-9, TIMP-1, TIMP-2, and sCD40L were measured by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay. Plasma levels of MMP-9 (p = 0.0099), TIMP-2 (p = 0.0019), and sCD40L (p <0.001), but not TIMP-1 (p = 0.463) were high in patients compared with healthy controls. In patients who had coronary artery disease, MMP-9 and high-sensitivity C-reactive protein levels were significantly higher in women than in men. Only MMP-9 correlated modestly with total white blood cell count (Spearman's correlation, r = 0.274, p = 0.002). Logistic regression of cardiovascular risk factors showed that only white blood cell count was independently associated with MMP-9 (p = 0.02). After standardizing for atheroma and stenosis scores, there were no statistically significant differences in our research indexes in patients who had angiographic collaterals compared with those who did not. In conclusion, stable coronary artery disease is associated with abnormal circulating levels of MMP-9, TIMP-2, and sCD40L, which do not appear to related to each other or to severity of coronary artery disease or collateralization. The gender difference in high-sensitivity C-reactive protein and MMP-9 levels may provide insight into the pathophysiology of coronary artery disease in men and women, and further studies are warranted to explore this potential link. 相似文献

Transgenic expression of CD40 ligand produces an in vivo antitumor immune response against both CD40(+) and CD40(-) plasmacytoma cells 总被引:5,自引:1,他引:5
Because tumor-specific antigens have been identified in multiple myeloma (MM), immunotherapy might provide an additional treatment modality for the disease. Expression of CD40 ligand (CD40L) proximate to the MM cells might serve this purpose, either by increasing their capacity to present self-antigens by activation through their CD40 receptor or by the recruitment of professional antigen-presenting cells (APCs) able to take up and present tumor-associated antigens. To distinguish between these possibilities and predict whether human CD40(-) myeloma might respond to this approach, we examined 3 murine plasmacytoma cell lines, 2 (MPC-11 and S107) expressing the CD40 molecule and 1 (X-24) lacking such expression. Syngeneic BALB/CBYJ mice were inoculated subcutaneously with tumor cells mixed with CL7.1 fibroblasts, retrovirally transduced to express either the mCD40L or the neo gene. For all 3 plasmacytoma cell lines, coinjection with CL7.1/mCD40L significantly reduced local tumor growth compared with controls. This effect was mediated by a systemic antitumor immune response, since mice immunized with tumor and CL7.1/mCD40L were resistant to subsequent challenge with tumor, and tumor growth inhibition was abolished when CD8(+) or CD4(+) lymphocytes were depleted. Because expression of CD40L gave equivalent protection from CD40(+) and CD40(-) tumors and transgenic-CD40L failed to up-regulate costimulatory molecules in either tumor, the protective effects of CD40L probably resulted from recruitment/activation of professional APCs rather than from CD40 activation of plasmacytoma cells. As further support of this concept, we found that mice were also well protected if CL7.1 and CD40L were injected together with apoptotic plasmacytoma cells from these tumors. Hence, transgenic CD40L expression may produce an antimyeloma immune response against either CD40(+) or CD40(-) tumors and may be of therapeutic value for both types of myeloma in humans. 相似文献

Lysophospholipids enhance matrix metalloproteinase-2 expression in human endothelial cells 总被引:4,自引:0,他引:4
Lysophosphatidic acid (LPA) and sphingosine 1-phosphate (S1P) are both low-molecular-weight lysophospholipids, which promote cell proliferation, migration, and invasion via interaction with a family of specific G protein-coupled receptors. Matrix metalloproteinases (MMPs) are zinc-dependent proteolytic enzymes, which are involved in degradation of the extracellular matrix and play critical roles in endothelial cell migration and matrix remodeling during angiogenesis. Among these MMPs, MMP-2 is known to trigger cell migration. In our present study, we examined the effects of LPA and S1P on MMP-2 expression in human endothelial cells. We showed that LPA and S1P enhanced MMP-2 expression in mRNA, protein levels, and also enzymatic activity of cells of the EAhy926 human endothelial cell line. The enhancement effects occurred in concentration- and time-dependent manners. Results from real-time PCR, Western blots, and substrate gels indicated that these enhancement effects were mediated through MAPK kinase/ERK-, nuclear factor-kappaB-, and calcium influx-dependent pathways. Furthermore, we show that endothelial cell invasion of the gel was enhanced by lysophospholipids, and the induction could be prevented by an MMP inhibitor, GM6001. These observations suggest that LPA and S1P may play important roles in endothelial cell invasion by regulating the expression of MMP-2. 相似文献

The purpose of this study was to determine the effects and mechanisms of sCD40L on endothelial dysfunction in both human coronary artery endothelial cells (HCAECs) and porcine coronary artery rings. HCAECs treated with sCD40L showed significant reductions of endothelial nitric oxide synthase (eNOS) mRNA and protein levels, eNOS mRNA stability, eNOS enzyme activity, and cellular NO levels, whereas superoxide anion (O(2)(-)) production was significantly increased. sCD40L enhanced eNOS mRNA 3'UTR binding to cytoplasmic molecules and induced a unique expression pattern of 95 microRNAs. sCD40L significantly decreased mitochondrial membrane potential, and catalase and SOD activities, whereas it increased NADPH oxidase (NOX) activity. sCD40L increased phosphorylation of MAPKs p38 and ERK1/2 as well as IkappaBalpha and enhanced NF-kappaB nuclear translocation. In porcine coronary arteries, sCD40L significantly decreased endothelium-dependent vasorelaxation and eNOS mRNA levels, whereas it increased O(2)(-) levels. Antioxidant seleno-l-methionine; chemical inhibitors of p38, ERK1/2, and mitochondrial complex II; as well as dominant negative mutant forms of IkappaBalpha and NOX4 effectively blocked sCD40L-induced eNOS down-regulation in HCAECs. Thus, sCD40L reduces eNOS levels, whereas it increases oxidative stress through the unique molecular mechanisms involving eNOS mRNA stability, 3'UTR-binding molecules, microRNAs, mitochondrial function, ROS-related enzymes, p38, ERK1/2, and NF-kappaB signal pathways in endothelial cells. 相似文献

Matrix metalloproteinase-1 (MMP-1), also called interstitial collagenase, may play an important role in the pathogenesis of atherosclerosis and atherosclerotic plaque rupture. We investigated the effects of fluvastatin on MMP-1 expression in human vascular endothelial cells (ECs). The addition of fluvastatin decreased the basal MMP-1 levels in the culture media of ECs in a time-dependent (0 to 48 hours) and dose-dependent (10(-)(8) to 10(-)(5) mol/L) manner. On the other hand, fluvastatin did not affect tissue inhibitor of metalloproteinase-1 levels. Collagenolytic activity in conditioned media of ECs was also dose-dependently reduced by fluvastatin. The effect of fluvastatin on MMP-1 expression was completely reversed in the presence of mevalonate or geranylgeranyl-pyrophosphate, but not in the presence of squalene. Inhibition of Rho by C3 exoenzyme also significantly decreased MMP-1 expression in ECs. Our findings revealed that fluvastatin decreases MMP-1 expression in human vascular ECs through inhibition of Rho. 相似文献

RATIONALE: Vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) and matrix metalloproteinase-9 (MMP-9) are mediators of airway inflammation and remodeling in asthma. OBJECTIVES: This study investigates a potential relationship between VEGF and MMP-9, and the mechanisms by which VEGF signaling regulates MMP-9 expression in asthma. METHODS: We evaluated whether levels of VEGF correlated with levels of MMP-9 in the sputum of asthma patients, and the effect of VEGF receptor inhibitors on MMP-9 expression in murine model of asthma. Measurements and MAIN RESULTS: We have found that levels of VEGF and MMP-9 are significantly higher in the sputum of patients with asthma than in healthy control subjects, and a significant correlation is found between the levels of VEGF and MMP-9. This study with the ovalbumin-induced model of asthma revealed the following typical pathophysiologic features of asthma in the lungs: increased numbers of inflammatory cells of the airways, airway hyperresponsiveness, increased vascular permeability, and increased levels of MMP-9 and VEGF. Administration of VEGF receptor inhibitors reduced the pathophysiologic signs of asthma and decreased the increased expression of MMP-9 after ovalbumin inhalation. CONCLUSIONS: These results indicate that there is a close relationship between VEGF and MMP-9 expression and that inhibition of VEGF receptor down-regulates the expression of MMP-9. These findings suggest that VEGF signaling regulates MMP-9 expression and plays a critical role in initiation and maintenance of asthma. 相似文献
