BackgroundC1q/tumour necrosis factor-related protein 3 (CTRP3) plays important roles in metabolism and inflammatory responses in various cells and tissues. However, the expression and function of CTRP3 in salivary glands have not been explored.MethodsThe expression and distribution of CTRP3 were detected by western blot, polymerase chain reaction, immunohistochemical and immunofluorescence staining. The effects of CTRP3 on tumour necrosis factor (TNF)-α-induced apoptosis and barrier dysfunction were detected by flow cytometry, western blot, co-immunoprecipitation, and measurement of transepithelial resistance and paracellular tracer flux.ResultsCTRP3 was distributed in both acinar and ductal cells of human submandibular gland (SMG) and was primarily located in the ducts of rat and mouse SMGs. TNF-α increased the apoptotic rate, elevated expression of cleaved caspase 3 and cytochrome C, and reduced B cell lymphoma-2 (Bcl-2) levels in cultured human SMG tissue and SMG-C6 cells, and CTRP3 further enhanced TNF-α-induced apoptosis response. Additionally, CTRP3 aggravated TNF-α-increased paracellular permeability. Mechanistically, CTRP3 promoted TNF-α-enhanced TNF type I receptor (TNFR1) expression, inhibited the expression of cellular Fas-associated death domain (FADD)-like interleukin-1β converting enzyme inhibitory protein (c-FLIP), and increased the recruitment of FADD with receptor-interacting protein kinase 1 and caspase 8. Moreover, CTRP3 was significantly increased in the labial gland of Sjögren's syndrome patients and in the serum and SMG of nonobese diabetic mice.ConclusionsThese findings suggest that the salivary glands are a novel source of CTRP3 synthesis and secretion. CTRP3 might promote TNF-α-induced cell apoptosis through the TNFR1-mediated complex II pathway. 相似文献

Tumor necrosis factor-α (TNF-α) is suggested to induce mitochondrial dysfunction and apoptosis of renal tubular epithelial cells that possibly exacerbates renal function in chronic kidney disease (CKD). Here we investigated whether suppressor of cytokine signaling-1 (SOCS-1), an inhibitor of cytokine signaling, was involved in TNF-α-induced human renal tubular epithelial cells (HKCs) oxidative stress and apoptosis. TNF-α promoted the protein and mRNA expression of SOCS-1 in a time and dose dependent manner, along with increased cell apoptosis and activation of apoptosis signal regulating kinase-1(ASK1) in HKCs. Furthermore, overexpression of SOCS-1 in HKCs reduced TNF-α-mediated oxidative stress and apoptosis. Meanwhile, We also found that overexpression of SOCS-1 could regulate the activity of JAK/STAT signaling pathway. In addition, a specific JAK2 inhibitor, AG490, that both attenuated TNF-α-induced oxidative stress, also reduced apoptosis. Taken together, overexpression of SOCS-1 prevented TNF-α-mediated cell oxidative stress and apoptosis may be via suppression of JAK/STAT signaling pathway activation in HKCs. 相似文献

Rotavirus (RV), a leading cause of diarrhea, primarily infects intestinal epithelial cells (IEC). Rotavirus-infected IEC produce IFN-β and express hundreds of IFN-dependent genes. We thus hypothesized that type 1 IFN plays a key role in helping IEC limit RV replication and/or protect against cell death. To test this hypothesis, we examined IEC (HT29 cells) infected with RV (MOI 1) ± neutralizing antibodies to IFN-α/β via microscopy and SDS-PAGE immunoblotting. We hypothesized that neutralization of IFN would be clearly detrimental to RV-infected IEC. Rather, we observed that blockade of IFN function rescued IEC from the apoptotic cell death that otherwise would have occurred 24-48?h following exposure to RV. This resistance to cell death correlated with reduced levels of viral replication at early time points (< 8 h) following infection and eventuated in reduced production of virions. The reduction in RV replication that resulted from IFN neutralization correlated with, and could be recapitulated by, blockade of IFN-induced protein kinase R (PKR) activation, suggesting involvement of this kinase. Interestingly, pharmacologic blockade of caspase activity ablated RV-induced apoptosis and dramatically increased viral protein synthesis, suggesting that IFN-induced apoptosis helps to control RV infection. These results suggest non-mutually exclusive possibilities that IFN signaling is usurped by RV to promote early replication and induction of cell death may be a means by which IFN signaling possibly clears RV from the intestine. 相似文献

Proinflammatory cytokines play vital roles in intestinal barrier function disruption. YC-1 has been reported to have potent anti-inflammatory properties, and to be a potential agent for sepsis treatment. Here, we investigated the protective effect of YC-1 against intestinal barrier dysfunction caused by interferon-γ (IFN-γ) and tumor necrosis factor-α (TNF-α). To assess the protective effect of YC-1 on intestinal barrier function, Caco-2 monolayers treated with simultaneous IFN-γ and TNF-α were used to measure transepithelial electrical resistance (TER) and paracellular permeability. To determine the mechanisms involved in the protective action of YC-1, expression and distribution of tight junction proteins ZO-1 and occludin in Caco-2 monolayers challenged with simultaneous IFN-γ and TNF-α were analyzed by Western blot and immunofluorescence, respectively. Expressions of phosphorylated myosin light chain (MLC), MLC kinase (MLCK) and hypoxia-inducible factor-1α (HIF-1α) were analyzed by Western blot in IFN-γ and TNF-α-treated Caco-2 monolayers. It was found that YC-1 attenuated barrier dysfunction caused by IFN-γ and TNF-α, and also prevented IFN-γ and TNF-α-induced morphological redistribution of tight junction proteins ZO-1 and occludin in Caco-2 monolayers. In addition, YC-1 suppressed IFN-γ and TNF-α-induced upregulation of MLC phosphorylation and MLCK protein expression. Furthermore, enhanced expression of HIF-1α in Caco-2 monolayers treated with IFN-γ and TNF-α was also suppressed by YC-1. It is suggested that YC-1, by downregulating MLCK expression, attenuates intestinal barrier dysfunction induced by IFN-γ and TNF-α, in which HIF-1α inhibition, at least in part, might by involved. YC-1 may be a potential agent for treatment of intestinal barrier disruption in inflammation. 相似文献

In this study, we show that atraxia telangiectasia mutated kinase (ATM) activity is generally upregulated by different apoptotic stimuli, i.e. TNF-α, TRAIL, paclitaxel, or UV. Apoptotic progression is markedly attenuated by siATM-RNA through down regulation of caspase-8 and caspase-9 in parallel with decreases in FLIP-S (short form of cellular FLICE inhibitory protein) protein levels and Bid cleavage. In addition, ATM activity is upregulated through t-Cdc6 while caspase-8 and caspase-9 activities increase. Taken together, we suggest that ATM regulates caspase-8 activation by influencing levels of FLIP-S, ATM kinase activity is upregulated by t-Cdc6, and increased ATM activity plays an essential role in the amplification of apoptosis in TNF-α-stimulated HeLa cells. 相似文献

Hypoxia, via stabilization of HIF2α, regulates the expression of the intestinal iron transporters DMT1 and ferroportin. Here we investigated whether the intestinal copper importer Ctr1 was also regulated by hypoxia. Copper uptake and Ctr1 mRNA expression were significantly increased in Caco-2 cells exposed to hypoxia. To determine whether HIF2α was involved in regulation of Ctr1 expression, we employed three models of HIF2α knockdown (chemical suppression of HIF2α translation in Caco-2 cells; HIF2α-siRNA-treated HuTu80 cells; HIF2α-intestinal knockout mice); Ctr1 mRNA expression was decreased in all three models under normoxic conditions. HIF2α translational inhibitor did not alter Ctr1 expression under hypoxic conditions. We conclude that basal expression of Ctr1 is regulated by HIF2α; however, the induction by hypoxia is a HIF2α-independent event. 相似文献

Engraftment of human embryonic stem cell (hESC)-derived OPCs in animal models of demyelination results in remyelination and clinical recovery, supporting the feasibility of cell replacement therapies in promoting repair of damaged neural tissue. A critical gap in our understanding of the mechanisms associated with repair revolves around the effects of the local microenvironment on transplanted cell survival. We have determined that treatment of human ESC-derived OPCs with the pleiotropic cytokine IFN-γ promotes apoptosis that is associated with mitochondrial cytochrome c released into the cytosol with subsequent caspase 3 activation. IFN-γ-induced apoptosis is mediated, in part, by secretion of the CXC chemokine ligand 10 (CXCL10) from IFN-γ-treated cells. Signaling through the chemokine receptor CXCR2 by the ligand CXCL1 functions in a tonic manner by muting apoptosis and this is associated with reduced levels of cytosolic cytochrome c and impaired cleavage of caspase 3. These findings support a role for both IFN-γ and CXCL10 in contributing to neuropathology by promoting OPC apoptosis. In addition, these data suggest that hOPCs used for therapeutic treatment for human neurologic disease/damage are susceptible to death through exposure to local inflammatory cytokines present within the inflammatory milieu. 相似文献

Sj?gren's syndrome is a chronic autoimmune disorder characterized by inflammation of salivary glands resulting in impaired secretory function. Our present studies indicate that chronic exposure of salivary epithelium to TNF-α and/or IFN-γ alters tight junction integrity, leading to secretory dysfunction. Resolvins of the D-series (RvDs) are endogenous lipid mediators derived from DHA that regulate excessive inflammatory responses leading to resolution and tissue homeostasis. In this study, we addressed the hypothesis that activation of the RvD1 receptor ALX/FPR2 in salivary epithelium prevents and/or resolves the TNF-α-mediated disruption of acinar organization and enhances monolayer formation. Our results indicate that 1) the RvD1 receptor ALX/FPR2 is present in fresh, isolated cells from mouse salivary glands and in cell lines of salivary origin; and 2) the agonist RvD1 (100 ng/ml) abolished tight junction and cytoskeletal disruption caused by TNF-α and enhanced cell migration and polarity in salivary epithelium. These effects were blocked by the ALX/FPR2 antagonist butyloxycarbonyl-Phe-Leu-Phe-Leu-Phe. The ALX/FPR2 receptor signals via modulation of the phosphatidylinositol 3-kinase (PI3K)/Akt signaling pathways since, in our study, blocking PI3K activation with LY294002, a potent and selective PI3K inhibitor, prevented RvD1-induced cell migration. Furthermore, Akt gene silencing with the corresponding siRNA almost completely blocked the ability of Par-C10 cells to migrate. Our findings suggest that RvD1 receptor activation promotes resolution of inflammation and tissue repair in salivary epithelium, which may have relevance in the restoration of salivary gland dysfunction associated with Sj?gren's syndrome. 相似文献

EVER1 and 2 confer resistance to cutaneous oncogenic human papillomavirus infections by downregulating the activating protein 1 (AP-1) signaling pathway. Defects in their expression are associated with susceptibility to epidermodysplasia verruciformis, which is characterized by persistent β-HPV infection, tumor necrosis factor alpha (TNF-α) overproduction in keratinocytes and the development of skin cancers. TNF-α-induced apoptosis is a key defense strategy, preventing the persistence of the virus within cells, but the role of EVER proteins in this cell death mechanism triggered by extrinsic stimuli is unknown. We show here that EVER2 induces TNF-α- and TRAIL-dependant apoptosis. It interacts with the N-terminal domain of TRADD, impairs the recruitment of TRAF2 and RIPK1 and promotes apoptosis. The skin cancer-associated EVER2 I306 allele results in an impaired TRADD–EVER2 interaction, with lower levels of cell death following treatment with TNF-α. These data highlight a new, critical function of EVER2 in controlling cell survival in response to death stimuli. 相似文献

Intestinal epithelial cell (IEC) apoptosis induced by hypoxia compromise intestinal epithelium barrier function. Both Akt and Hsp90 have cytoprotective function. However, the specific role
of Akt and Hsp90β in IEC apoptosis induced by hypoxia has not been explored. We confirmed that hypoxia-induced apoptosis was reduced by Hsp90β overexpression but enhanced by decreasing Hsp90β expression. Hsp90β overexpression enhanced BAD phosphorylation and thus reduced mitochondrial release of cytochrome C. Reducing Hsp90β expression had opposite effects. The protective effect of Hsp90β against apoptosis was negated by , an Akt inhibitor. Further study showed that Akt phosphorylation was enhanced by Hsp90β, which was not due to the activation of upstream PI3K and PDK1 but because of stabilization of pAkt via direct interaction between Hsp90β and pAkt. These results demonstrate that Hsp90β may play a significant role in protecting IECs from hypoxia-induced apoptosis via stabilizing pAkt to phosphorylate
BAD and reduce cytochrome C release. [BMB Reports 2013;46(1): 47-52] LY294002相似文献

Background
The cytokines TNF (TNFSF2) and IFNγ are important mediators of inflammatory bowel diseases and contribute to enhanced intestinal epithelial permeability by stimulating apoptosis and/or disrupting tight junctions. Apoptosis and tight junctions are also important for epithelial tissue morphogenesis, but the effect of TNF and IFNγ on the process of intestinal epithelial morphogenesis is unknown.Methods/Principal Findings
We have employed a three-dimensional cell culture system, reproducing in vivo-like multicellular organization of intestinal epithelial cells, to study the effect of TNF on intestinal epithelial morphogenesis and permeability. We show that human intestinal epithelial cells in three-dimensional culture assembled into luminal spheres consisting of a single layer of cells with structural, internal, and planar cell polarity. Exposure of preformed luminal spheres to TNF or IFNγ enhanced paracellular permeability, but via distinctive mechanisms. Thus, while both TNF and IFNγ, albeit in a distinguishable manner, induced the displacement of selected tight junction proteins, only TNF increased paracellular permeability via caspase-driven apoptosis and cell shedding. Infliximab and adalumimab inhibited these effects of TNF. Moreover, we demonstrate that TNF via its stimulatory effect on apoptosis fundamentally alters the process of intestinal epithelial morphogenesis, which contributes to the de novo generation of intestinal epithelial monolayers with increased permeability. Also IFNγ contributes to the de novo formation of monolayers with increased permeability, but in a manner that does not involve apoptosis.Conclusions
Our study provides an optimized 3D model system for the integrated analysis of (real-time) intestinal epithelial paracellular permeability and morphogenesis, and reveals apoptosis as a pivotal mechanism underlying the enhanced permeability and altered morphogenesis in response to TNF, but not IFNγ. 相似文献15.

Background
The mucosal tissues play a central role in the transmission of HIV-1 infection as well as in the pathogenesis of AIDS. Despite several clinical studies reported intestinal dysfunction during HIV infection, the mechanisms underlying HIV-induced impairments of mucosal epithelial barrier are still unclear. It has been postulated that HIV-1 alters enterocytic function and HIV-1 proteins have been detected in several cell types of the intestinal mucosa. In the present study, we analyzed the effect of the accessory HIV-1 Nef protein on human epithelial cell line.Methodology/Principal Findings
We used unstimulated or IFN-γ-stimulated Caco-2 cells, as a model for homeostatic and inflamed gastrointestinal tracts, respectively. We investigated the effect of exogenous recombinant Nef on monolayer integrity analyzing its uptake, transepithelial electrical resistance, permeability to FITC-dextran and the expression of tight junction proteins. Moreover, we measured the induction of proinflammatory mediators. Exogenous Nef was taken up by Caco-2 cells, increased intestinal epithelial permeability and upset the IFN-γ-induced reduction of transepitelial resistance, interfering with tight junction protein expression. Moreover, Nef inhibited IFN-γ-induced apoptosis and up-regulated TNF-α, IL-6 and MIP-3α production by Caco-2 cells while down-regulated IL-10 production. The simultaneous exposure of Caco-2 cells to Nef and IFN-γ did not affect cytokine secretion respect to untreated cells. Finally, we found that Nef counteracted the IFN-γ induced arachidonic acid cascade.Conclusion/Significance
Our findings suggest that exogenous Nef, perturbing the IFN-γ-induced impairment of intestinal epithelial cells, could prolong cell survival, thus allowing for accumulation of viral particles. Our results may improve the understanding of AIDS pathogenesis, supporting the discovery of new therapeutic interventions. 相似文献16.

TGF-β is a potent inducer of epithelial-to-mesenchymal transition (EMT), a process involved in tumour invasion. TIF1γ participates in TGF-β signalling. To understand the role of TIF1γ in TGF-β signalling and its requirement for EMT, we analysed the TGF-β1 response of human mammary epithelial cell lines. A strong EMT increase was observed in TIF1γ-silenced cells after TGF-β1 treatment, whereas Smad4 inactivation completely blocked this process. Accordingly, the functions of several TIF1γ target genes can be linked to EMT, as shown by microarray analysis. As a negative regulator of Smad4, TIF1γ could be crucial for the regulation of TGF-β signalling. Furthermore, TIF1γ binds to and represses the plasminogen activator inhibitor 1 promoter, demonstrating a direct role of TIF1γ in TGF-β-dependent gene expression. This study shows the molecular relationship between TIF1γ and Smad4 in TGF-β signalling and EMT. 相似文献

Previously, we demonstrated that protein kinase D (PKD) plays a protective role during H2O2-induced intestinal cell death. Here, we sought to determine whether this effect is mediated by nuclear factor-κB (NF-κB) and mitogen-activated protein kinases (MAPKs). Treatment with H2O2 activated NF-κB in RIE-1 cells; H2O2 also induced the translocation of NF-κB p65 as well as phosphorylation of IκB-α. PKD1 siRNA inhibited H2O2-induced activation, translocation of NF-κB, and phosphorylation of IκB-α. We also found that overexpression of wild type PKD1 attenuated H2O2-induced phosphorylation of p38 MAPK and its upstream activator, MAPK kinase (MKK) 3/6, whereas the phosphorylation was increased by PKD1 siRNA or kinase-dead PKD1. Phosphorylation of neither extracellular signal-regulated kinases (ERK) 1/2 nor c-Jun N-terminal kinases (JNK) was altered by PKD1 plasmids or siRNA. Our findings suggest that PKD protects intestinal cells through up-regulation of NF-κB and down-regulation of p38 MAPK. 相似文献

Although there is evidence suggesting that statins may exert an endothelial protecting effect, recent in vitro data have shown that these compounds may induce endothelial cells (EC) apoptosis. We previously reported that the Fas-death receptor may induce apoptosis of the liver sinusoid endothelial cells (LSEC), and that TNF-α increases the susceptibility of these cells to suffer Fas-mediated apoptosis. Based on this evidence, in this study, we investigated the effect of simvastatin on Fas-mediated LSEC apoptosis. Simvastatin induced a significant reduction in LSEC viability, in a dose dependent manner, under serum-containing or serum-free conditions. This effect was prevented by mevalonate and GGPP, indicating the role of hydroxy-3-methylglutaryl-CoA reductase. The simvastatin effect on LSEC death was not associated with increased activation of caspase-3. We found that simvastatin increased the susceptibility of LSEC death mediated by Fas. Further, simvastatin increased LSEC-apoptosis induced by Fas and TNF-α. Mevalonate and GGPP partially prevented simvastatin-induced sensitization to LSEC death mediated by Jo2 and TNF-α, but not Jo2 alone. Simvastatin did not induce up-regulation of the Fas on the LSEC. Our results provide evidence of simvastatin in modulating Fas-mediated apoptosis in endothelial cells. These results may have clinical implications in those clinical conditions associated with high levels of FasL and TNF-α. 相似文献

In a previous publication, we were able to show that irradiation of Kupffer cells, the liver resident macrophages, leads to an increased TNF-alpha concentration in the culture medium. The pathomechanisms underlying this phenomenon, however, remained to be elucidated. Here, we show that following irradiation of Kupffer cells, the apoptosis rate increased drastically within 48 h. At the same time, the total TNF-alpha concentration in cell lysates of Kupffer cells attached to the culture plate decreased. However, normalization of the TNF-alpha concentration with respect to cell number revealed that TNF-alpha concentration per attached cell remained constant during the observation period. Western blot analysis showed that heat shock protein 27 (Hsp27) is strongly downregulated and bax is upregulated in irradiated Kupffer cells as compared to sham-irradiated cells. Overexpression of Hsp27 in Kupffer cells was shown to prevent the effect of irradiation on bax expression, apoptosis and, at the same time, on increase of TNF-alpha concentration in the Kupffer cell medium. We conclude that irradiation of Kupffer cells leads to apoptosis because of downregulation of Hsp27 and consecutive upregulation of bax expression. Furthermore, we suggest that apoptosis of Kupffer cells leads to an increase of TNF-alpha concentration in the culture medium which may be due to cell death rather than active release or synthesis. 相似文献
