Adenovirus-mediated overexpression of novel mutated IκBα inhibits nuclear factor κB activation in endothelial cells 总被引:7,自引:1,他引:6
Nuclear factor κB (NF-κB) overactivation, requiring phosphorylation and degradation of its inhibitor IκBα, is the basis for chronicity of airway inflammation in asthma. Based on our previous plasmid pShuttle-IκBα, carrying an IκBα gene from human placenta, we optimized a novel IκBα mutant (IκBα) gene, constructed and characterized its replication-deficient recombinant adenovirus (AdIκBαM), and tested whether AdIκBαM-mediated overexpression of IκBαM could inhibit the NF-κB activation in endothelial cells. 相似文献

Background Fractalkine is an important chemokine mediating local monocyte accumulation and inflammatory reactions in the vascular wall. Aspirin inhibits inflammatory cytokine expression closely related to atherosclerosis through the way independent of platelet and cyclooxygenase (COX). There has been no report about the effect of aspirin on fractalkine expression. We aimed to determine the fractalkine expression in human umbilical vein endothelial cell (HUVEC) stimulated by tumor necrosis factor (TNF)-α and the effect of aspirin intervention.
Methods Six of 8 HUVEC groups received either different concentrations of aspirin (0.02, 0.2, 1.0, 5.0 mmol/L) or 40 μmol/L pyrrolidinecarbodithioc acid (PDTC) or 0.5 μmol/L NS-398. The other two groups were negative control and positive control (TNF-α-stimulated). After being incubated for 24 hours, cells of the 8 groups except the negative control one were stimulated with TNF-α (4 ng/ml) for another 24 hours. After that, the cells were collected for RNA isolation and protein extraction.
Results Both mRNA and protein expressions of fractalkine in HUVEC were upregulated by 4 ng/ml TNF-α stimulation. Aspirin inhibited fractalkine expression in a dose-dependent manner at mRNA and protein levels. Nuclear factor-kappa B inhibitor, PDTC, effectively decreased the fractalkine expression. Fractalkine expression was not influenced by COX-2 selective inhibitor NS-398. COX-1 protein expression was not changed by either TNF-α stimulation or aspirin, PDTC, NS-398 intervention. Both mRNA and protein expression of COX-2 in HUVEC were upregulated by 4 ng/ml TNF-α stimulation. Aspirin decreased COX-2 expression in a dose-dependent manner at mRNA and protein levels.
Conclusions TNF-α-stimulated fractalkine expression is suppressed by aspirin in a dose-dependent manner through the nuclear factor-kappa B p65 pathway. 相似文献

Background The renoprotective mechanisms of adenosine monophosphate (AMP)-activated protein kinase (AMPK) agonist-metformin have not been stated clearly.We hypothesized that metformin may ameliorate inflammation via AMPK interaction with critical inflammatory cytokines The aim of this study was to observe the effects of metformin on expression of nuclear factor-κB (NF-κB),monocyte chemoattractant protein-1 (MCP-1),intercellular adhesion molecule-1 (ICAM-1) and transforming growth factor-beta 1 (TGF-β1) induced by high glucose (HG) in cultured rat glomerular mesangial cells (MCs).Methods MCs were cultured in the medium with normal concentration glucose (group NG,5.6 mmol/L),high concentration glucose (group HG,25 mmol/L) and different concentrations of metformin (group M1,M2,M3).After 48-hour exposure,the supernatants and MCs were collected.The expression of NF-κB,MCP-1,ICAM-1,and TGF-β1 mRNA was analyzed by real time polymerase chain reaction.Westem blotting was used to detect the expression of AMPK,phospho-Thr-172 AMPK (p-AMPK),NF-κB p65,MCP-1,ICAM-1,and TGF-β1 protein.Results After stimulated by HG,the expression of NF-κB,MCP-1,ICAM-1,TGF-β1 mRNA and protein of MCs in group HG increased significantly compared with group NG (P <0.05).Both genes and protein expression of NF-κB,MCP-1,ICAM-1,TGF-β1 of MCs induced by high glucose were markedly reduced after metformin treatment in a dose-dependent manner (P <0.05).The expression of p-AMPK increased with the rising of metformin concentration,presenting the opposite trend,while the level of total-AMPK protein was unchanged with exposure to HG or metformin.Conlusion Metformin can suppress the expression of NF-κB,MCP-1,ICAM-1 and TGF-β1 of glomerular MCs induced by high glucose via AMPK activation,which may partlv contribute to its reno-protection. 相似文献

Objective: Monocytes/macrophages, proinflammatory cytokines and chemokines are important in the pathogenesis of glomerulonephritis. Interleukin (IL) -13 has been shown to exert potent anti-inflammatory properties. This study was designed to investigate the effect of IL-13 on the expression of proinflammatory cytokines, chemokines and profibrogenic cytokines and the involved molecular mechanism in cultured human mesangial cells (HMCs). Methods: The expressions of proinflammatory cytokines, chemokines and profibrogenic cytokines were determined by ribonuclease protection assay (RPA). Activity of nuclear factor-kappa B (NF-κB) and activa- tor protein-1 (AP-1) was examined by electrophoretic mobility shift assay (EMSA). NF-κB subunit p65 nuclear transportation and c-Jun N-terminal kinase (JNK) activity were assayed by immunoblot. Results: Recombinant IL-13 inhibited tumor necrosis factor-α (TNF-u), IL-1α, IL-1β, monocyte chemoattractant protein-1 (MCP-1), IL-8, and transforming growth factor-β1 (TGF-β1) mRNA expressions in a dose-dependent manner. Lipopoly- sacchorides (LPS) dramatically increased NF-κB DNA binding activity of HMCs, which was inhibited by IL-13 in a dose-dependent manner. LPS-activated NF-κB contained p50 and p65 dimers, but not c-Rel subunit. IL-13 blocked LPS-induced NF-κB subunit p65. LPS stimulated JNK/AP-1 activation, which was inhibited by IL-13 in a dose-dependent manner. Conclusion: IL-13 inhibits proinflammatory cytokines, chemokines, and profibrogenic cytokines synthesis by blocking NF-κB and JNK/AP-1 activation. These observations point to the importance of IL-13 in the modulation of inflammatory processes in the renal glomerulus. 相似文献

Objective To detect the expression of intercellular adhesion molecule-1 (ICAM-1) and human leucocyte antigen-DR (HLA-DR) on retroocular fibroblasts (RFs) by immunoglobulin G (IgG) from patients with Graves’ ophthalmopathy (GO) and interferon gamma (IFN-γ) and to study the possible mechanism of humoral immunity and cellular immunity in the pathogenesis of GO. Methods Purified IgG was obtained from 23 patients (GO 10, Graves’ disease 9, toxic multinodular goiter 4) and 8 normal persons. Cytokine IFN-γ and thyroid stimulating hormon (TSH) were incubated with normal human RF cultured in vitro. Antigen expression on RFs induced by stimulators was examined using immunofluoresence staining and a flow cytometer. Results RFs spontaneously expressed ICAM-1, but did not express HLA-DR. All IgGs from patients with GO and other thyroid diseases as well as from normal persons could not stimulate the expression of ICAM-1 on RFs. IFN-γ and TSH significantly enhanced the expression of ICAM-1 in dose-dependent manner (P<0.05). Only IFN-γ could stimulate RFs to express HLA-DR (P<0.05). Conclusions IgG from patients with GO did not stimulate the expression of ICAM-1 and HLA-DR on the surface of cultured normal human RFs. IFN-γ was the important factor for initiating and promoting autoimmune reactions in GO. We need to pay more attention to TSH, as it may possibly play a promoting role in the pathogenesis in GO. 相似文献

Polygonum multiflorum stilbeneglycoside (PMS) is a water-soluble fraction of Polygonum multiflorum Thunb. , one of the most famous tonic traditional Chinese medicines, that has protective effects on the cardiovascular system. The purpose of the present study is to elucidate the effects of PMS on macrophage-derived foam cell functions and the reduction of severity of atherosclerosis in hypercholesterolemic New Zealand White (NZW) rabbits. NZW rabbits were fed for 12 weeks with a normal diet, a high cholesterol diet, or a high cholesterol diet associated with irrigation with different doses of PMS (25, 50, or 100 mg/kg). Treatment of NZW rabbits fed with high cholesterol diet with 100 mg/kg PMS attenuated the increase in plasma cholesterol, low-density lipoprotein cholesterol, very low-density lipoprotein cholesterol, and plasma triglyceride. Treatment with 50 and 100 mg/kg PMS caused 43% and 60% decrease in atherosclerotic lesioned area ratio to total surface area, respectively. In U937 foam cells, PMS could decrease the high expression of intercellular adhesion molecule (ICAM)-1 protein and the vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) protein levels in the medium induced by oxidized lipoprotein when analyzed by flow cytometry. The results proved that PMS is a powerful agent against atherosclerosis and that PMS action could possibly be through the inhibition of the expression of ICAM-1 and VEGF in foam cells. 相似文献

Background Hypoxia-inducible factor (HIF) may play an important role in the process of tumorigenesis as well as tumor progression. The aim of this study was to compare the expression between HIF-1α and HIF-2α in tumor angiogenesis and the overall impact on patient prognosis in human non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC).
Methods In the current work we compared the immunohistochemical expression of HIF-1α and HIF-2α in surgical specimens of 140 patients with NSCLC in a tissue microarray study. Relationships between HIF-α expression and clinicopathological or angiogenic factors, including prognosis, were analyzed.
Results High HIF-1α and HIF-2α expression was noted in 49/140 (35.0%) and in 64/140 (45.7%) of the cases, respectively. There was no direct correlation between HIF-1α and HIF-2α expression. Patients with advanced stage tumors had frequent high expression of HIF-2α (P=0.007), and we also found a significant correlation between HIF-2α and T or N stage (P=0.030 and 0.043, respectively). HIF-1α showed a marginal association with T stage (P=0.084), which showed a higher expression in early stage tumors. A significant correlation (P=0.045) was noticed between HIF-1α and vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) expression while the expression levels of thymidine phosphorylase (TP), cyclooxygenase (COX)-2 and microvessel density (MVD) were significantly higher in high HIF-2α tumors (P=0.020, 0.004, and 0.046, respectively). In addition, univariate analysis of overall survival demonstrated that HIF-2α expression, but not HIF-1α, was related to poor outcome (P=0.001) and it retained significant in multivariate analysis (P=0.036).
Conclusions Taken together, we conclude that HIF-1α and HIF-2α may differentially regulate the major angiogenic factors in different stages of the tumor process in NSCLC. HIF-2α may play a dominant role in tumor angiogenesis and appears to be of obvious value as a significant prognostic factor in NSCLC.

Background Vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) is one of major mediators of angiogenesis and survival factor in some tissue, however, its direct effects on cardiomyocytes remain poorly understood.
Methods Rat neonatal ventricular myocytes were cultured in vitro. Akt phosphorylation was measured by Western blotting; the expression of stromal cell-derived factor α (SDF-1α)/CXCR4 axis was evaluated by real-time PCR and Western blotting. LY294002 and AMD3100 were used to interfere with the signaling of VEGF and SDF-1α/CXCR4 axis. Cardiac myocytes viability and injury were evaluated by trypan blue staining and lactate dehydrogenase (LDH) release.
Results Treatment of neonatal rat ventricular myocytes with VEGF induced phosphorylation of Akt in a dose and Flk-1 dependent manner. VEGF attenuated H2O2 induced cardiac myocyte death. The phosphoinositol-3-kinase (PI3K) inhibitor, LY294002 and Flk-1 antibody abolished the beneficial effects of VEGF on H2O2 induced cell death. In the mean time SDF-1α-CXCR4 axis was up-regulated by VEGF through PI3K-Akt signaling and contributed to the protective effects of VEGF on H2O2 induced cell death. Interestingly, SDF-1α also promoted production of VEGF in cultured cardiac myocytes and LY294002 reversed the up-regulation of VEGF induced by SDF-1α.
Conclusion VEGF has direct protective effects on cardiomyocytes; a crosstalk between VEGF and SDF-1α through PI3K-Akt serves a survival role in cardiomyocytes in vitro.
