Radiation‐induced lung injury (RILI) is one of the most common and fatal complications of thoracic radiotherapy. It is characterized with two main features including early radiation pneumonitis and fibrosis in later phase. This study was to investigate the potential radioprotective effects of polydatin (PD), which was shown to exert anti‐inflammation and anti‐oxidative capacities in other diseases. In this study, we demonstrated that PD‐mitigated acute inflammation and late fibrosis caused by irradiation. PD treatment inhibited TGF‐β1‐Smad3 signalling pathway and epithelial–mesenchymal transition. Moreover, radiation‐induced imbalance of Th1/Th2 was also alleviated by PD treatment. Besides its free radical scavenging capacity, PD induced a huge increase of Sirt3 in culture cells and lung tissues. The level of Nrf2 and PGC1α in lung tissues was also elevated. In conclusion, our data showed that PD attenuated radiation‐induced lung injury through inhibiting epithelial–mesenchymal transition and increased the expression of Sirt3, suggesting PD as a novel potential radioprotector for RILI. 相似文献

Hepatocarcinoma‐intestine‐pancreas/pancreatitis‐associated protein (HIP/PAP), a C‐type lectin, exerts anti‐oxidative, anti‐inflammatory, bactericidal, anti‐apoptotic, and mitogenic functions in several cell types and tissues. In this study, we explored the role of HIP/PAP in pulmonary fibrosis (PF). Expression of HIP/PAP and its murine counterpart, Reg3B, was markedly increased in fibrotic human and mouse lung tissues. Adenovirus‐mediated HIP/PAP expression markedly alleviated bleomycin (BLM)‐induced lung injury, inflammation, and fibrosis in mice. Adenovirus‐mediated HIP/PAP expression alleviated oxidative injury and lessened the decrease in pulmonary superoxide dismutase (SOD) activity in BLM‐treated mice, increased pulmonary SOD expression in normal mice, and HIP/PAP upregulated SOD expression in cultured human alveolar epithelial cells (A549) and human lung fibroblasts (HLF‐1). Moreover, in vitro experiments showed that HIP/PAP suppressed the growth of HLF‐1 and ameliorated the H2O2‐induced apoptosis of human alveolar epithelial cells (A549 and HPAEpiC) and human pulmonary microvascular endothelial cells (HPMVEC). In HLF‐1, A549, HPAEpiC, and HPMVEC cells, HIP/PAP did not affect the basal levels, but alleviated the TGF‐β1‐induced down‐regulation of the epithelial/endothelial markers E‐cadherin and vE‐cadherin and the over‐expression of mesenchymal markers, such as α‐SMA and vimentin. In conclusion, HIP/PAP was found to serve as a potent protective factor in lung injury, inflammation, and fibrosis by attenuating oxidative injury, promoting the regeneration of alveolar epithelial cells, and antagonizing the pro‐fibrotic actions of the TGF‐β1/Smad signaling pathway. 相似文献

Lung cancer is the most frequent cancer type and is the leading cause of tumour‐associated deaths worldwide. Nuclear cap‐binding protein 1 (NCBP1) is necessary for capped RNA processing and intracellular localization. It has been reported that silencing of NCBP1 resulted in cell growth reduction in HeLa cells. Nevertheless, its clinical significance and underlying molecular mechanisms in non–small‐cell lung cancer remain unclear. In this study, we found that NCBP1 was significantly overexpressed in lung cancer tissues and several lung cancer cell lines. Through knockdown and overexpression experiments, we showed that NCBP1 promoted lung cancer cell growth, wound healing ability, migration and epithelial‐mesenchymal transition. Mechanistically, we found that cullin 4B (CUL4B) was a downstream target gene of NCBP1 in NSCLC. NCBP1 up‐regulated CUL4B expression via interaction with nuclear cap‐binding protein 3 (NCBP3). CUL4B silencing significantly reversed NCBP1‐induced tumorigenesis in vitro. Based on these findings, we propose a model involving the NCBP1‐NCBP3‐CUL4B oncoprotein axis, providing novel insight into how CUL4B is activated and contributes to LUAD progression. 相似文献

Fine particulate matter (PM2.5) is the primary air pollutant that is able to induce airway injury. Compelling evidence has shown the involvement of IL‐17A in lung injury, while its contribution to PM2.5‐induced lung injury remains largely unknown. Here, we probed into the possible role of IL‐17A in mouse models of PM2.5‐induced lung injury. Mice were instilled with PM2.5 to construct a lung injury model. Flow cytometry was carried out to isolate γδT and Th17 cells. ELISA was adopted to detect the expression of inflammatory factors in the supernatant of lavage fluid. Primary bronchial epithelial cells (mBECs) were extracted, and the expression of TGF signalling pathway‐, autophagy‐ and PI3K/Akt/mTOR signalling pathway‐related proteins in mBECs was detected by immunofluorescence assay and Western blot analysis. The mitochondrial function was also evaluated. PM2.5 aggravated the inflammatory response through enhancing the secretion of IL‐17A by γδT/Th17 cells. Meanwhile, PM2.5 activated the TGF signalling pathway and induced EMT progression in bronchial epithelial cells, thereby contributing to pulmonary fibrosis. Besides, PM2.5 suppressed autophagy of bronchial epithelial cells by up‐regulating IL‐17A, which in turn activated the PI3K/Akt/mTOR signalling pathway. Furthermore, IL‐17A impaired the energy metabolism of airway epithelial cells in the PM2.5‐induced models. This study suggested that PM2.5 could inhibit autophagy of bronchial epithelial cells and promote pulmonary inflammation and fibrosis by inducing the secretion of IL‐17A in γδT and Th17 cells and regulating the PI3K/Akt/mTOR signalling pathway. 相似文献

AMP‐activated protein kinase (AMPK) serves as a “supermetabolic regulator” that helps maintain cellular energy homeostasis. However, the role of AMPK in glucose metabolism reprogramming in lung cancer remains unclear. Here, our study shows that low AMPK expression correlates with metastasis and clinicopathologic parameters of non–small‐cell lung cancer. Low AMPK significantly enhances the Warburg effect in HBE and A549 cells, which in turn induces the expression of mesenchymal markers and enhances their invasion and migration. At the mechanistic level, low AMPK up‐regulates HK2 expression and glycolysis levels through HDAC4 and HDAC5. Collectively, our findings demonstrate that low AMPK‐induced metabolism can promote epithelial‐mesenchymal transition progression in normal bronchial epithelial cells and lung cancer cells, and increase the risk for tumour metastasis. 相似文献

Pulmonary fibrosis (PF) is a chronic obstructive pulmonary disease without effective clinical drug treatment. Qing‐Xuan Granule (QX) as a traditional Chinese patent medicine is clinically used to cure children's cough. This study was designed to investigate the effects of QX and possible molecular mechanisms for bleomycin‐induced PF. The work used Western blotting and Q‐PCR to explore the vitro and vivo mechanisms of QX treatment, while using HPLC‐TOF/MS to explore the composition of QX. QX was given daily orally for two weeks after bleomycin intratracheal instillation. The protective effects of QX on lung function, inflammation, growth factors, hydroxyproline content and deposition of extracellular matrix were investigated. QX decreased expression of Col I and α‐SMA in lung tissues by down‐regulating TGF‐β1‐Smad2/3 signaling and suppressed epithelial‐mesenchymal transition and effectively reversed abnormal mRNA levels of MMP‐1and TIMP‐1 as well as LOXL‐2 in lung tissues. HPLC‐TOF/MS indicate that six substances could be the main active components, which were reported to protect against experimental lung disease. 相似文献

Background Information
Human gingival tissues are prone to hyperplasia under inflammatory stimuli. We have identified gingival tissue‐specific mesenchymal stem cells (GMSCs) and found their functional change being correlated with drug‐induced gingival hyperplasia. However, whether these cells exhibit characteristics of pro‐fibrotic phenotype under inflammatory condition remains unknown.Results
GMSCs isolated from human normal gingival tissues (N‐GMSC) and inflammatory gingival tissues (I‐GMSC) were cultured in vitro, representative cytokines were added to simulate the in vivo inflammatory environment. Under the influence of the inflammatory cytokines, GMSCs exhibited higher rate of proliferation than those under normal condition, while their potential for osteogenic and adipogenic differentiation was suppressed. The expression of matrix metalloproteinases (MMP)‐1, MMP‐2, IL‐1, IL‐6, TNF‐α and type 1 collagen was significantly higher in I‐GMSCs than in N‐GMSCs. Furthermore, compared with dental pulp stem cells, GMSCs showed different pattern of gene expression and extracellular matrix formation in inflammatory environment.Conclusions
Inflammatory microenvironment induces GMSCs to differentiate towards a pro‐fibrotic phenotype, which could underlie the hyperplastic appearance of inflammatory gingiva. 相似文献11.
Astragaloside IV modulates TGF‐β1‐dependent epithelial‐mesenchymal transition in bleomycin‐induced pulmonary fibrosis 下载免费PDF全文

Epithelial‐mesenchymal transition (EMT) plays an important role in idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis (IPF). Astragaloside IV (ASV), a natural saponin from astragalus membranaceus, has shown anti‐fibrotic property in bleomycin (BLM)‐induced pulmonary fibrosis. The current study was undertaken to determine whether EMT was involved in the beneficial of ASV against BLM‐induced pulmonary fibrosis and to elucidate its potential mechanism. As expected, in BLM‐induced IPF, ASV exerted protective effects on pulmonary fibrosis and ASV significantly reversed BLM‐induced EMT. Intriguing, transforming growth factor‐β1 (TGF‐β1) was found to be up‐regulated, whereas Forkhead box O3a (FOXO3a) was hyperphosphorylated and less expressed. However, ASV treatment inhibited increased TGF‐β1 and activated FOXO3a in lung tissues. TGF‐β1 was administered to alveolar epithelial cells A549 to induce EMT in vitro. Meanwhile, stimulation with TGF‐β1‐activated phosphatidylinositol 3 kinase/protein kinase B (PI3K/Akt) pathway and induced FOXO3a hyperphosphorylated and down‐regulated. It was found that overexpression of FOXO3a leading to the suppression of TGF‐β1‐induced EMT. Moreover, ASV treatment, similar with the TGF‐β1 or PI3K/Akt inhibitor, reverted these cellular changes and inhibited EMT in A549 cells. Collectively, the results suggested that ASV significantly inhibited TGF‐β1/PI3K/Akt‐induced FOXO3a hyperphosphorylation and down‐regulation to reverse EMT during the progression of fibrosis. 相似文献

Although lung injury including fibrosis is a well‐documented side effect of lung irradiation, the mechanisms underlying its pathology are poorly understood. X‐rays are known to cause apoptosis in the alveolar epithelial cells of irradiated lungs, which results in fibrosis due to the proliferation and differentiation of fibroblasts and the deposition of collagen. Apoptosis and BH3‐only pro‐apoptotic proteins have been implicated in the pathogenesis of pulmonary fibrosis. Recently, we have established a clinically analogous experimental model that reflects focal high‐dose irradiation of the ipsilateral lung. The goal of this study was to elucidate the mechanism underlying radiation‐induced lung injury based on this model. A radiation dose of 90 Gy was focally delivered to the left lung of C57BL/6 mice for 14 days. About 9 days after irradiation, the mice began to show increased levels of the pro‐apoptotic protein Noxa in the irradiated lung alongside increased apoptosis and fibrosis. Suppression of Noxa expression by small interfering RNA protected cells from radiation‐induced cell death and decreased expression of fibrogenic markers. Furthermore, we showed that reactive oxygen species participate in Noxa‐mediated, radiation‐induced cell death. Taken together, our results show that Noxa is involved in X‐ray‐induced lung injury. 相似文献

Bladder cancer (BC) is one of the most frequent urological malignancies, and its molecular mechanism still remains unclear. Recent studies have revealed that MicroRNA (miRNAs) acted as oncogenes or tumor suppressors in a variety of cancers. MiRNA‐96 has been reported to play a significant role in the development and progression of many cancers. In the current study, we found that transforming growth factor (TGF)‐β1 played a significant role in the progression that miR‐96 conducted. And TGF‐β1 could also regulate the expression of FOXQ1, which is the target gene of miR‐96. Furthermore, miR‐96 induced epithelial‐mesenchymal transition in BC cells, which is driven by TGF‐β1. In conclusion, our data revealed that miR‐96 regulates the progression and epithelial‐mesenchymal transition, which is driven by TGF‐β1 in BC cells; it may provide a new thought for the therapy of BC. 相似文献

Gastric aspiration lung injury is one of the most common clinical events. This study investigated the effects of bone‐marrow‐derived mesenchymal stem cells (BMSCs) on combined acid plus small non‐acidified particle (CASP)‐induced aspiration lung injury. Enhanced green fluorescent protein (EGFP+) or EGFP? BMSCs or 15d‐PGJ2 were injected via the tail vein into rats immediately after CASP‐induced aspiration lung injury. Pathological changes in lung tissues, blood gas analysis, the wet/dry weight ratio (W/D) of the lung, levels of total proteins and number of total cells and neutrophils in bronchoalveolar lavage fluid (BALF) were determined. The cytokine levels were measured using ELISA. Protein expression was determined by Western blot. Bone‐marrow‐derived mesenchymal stem cells treatment significantly reduced alveolar oedema, exudation and lung inflammation; increased the arterial partial pressure of oxygen; and decreased the W/D of the lung, the levels of total proteins and the number of total cells and neutrophils in BALF in the rats with CASP‐induced lung injury. Bone‐marrow‐derived mesenchymal stem cells treatment decreased the levels of tumour necrosis factor‐α and Cytokine‐induced neutrophil chemoattractant (CINC)‐1 and the expression of p‐p65 and increased the levels of interleukin‐10 and 15d‐PGJ2 and the expression of peroxisome proliferator‐activated receptor (PPAR)‐γ in the lung tissue in CASP‐induced rats. Tumour necrosis factor‐α stimulated BMSCs to secrete 15d‐PGJ2. A tracking experiment showed that EGFP+ BMSCs were able to migrate to local lung tissues. Treatment with 15d‐PGJ2 also significantly inhibited CASP‐induced lung inflammation and the production of pro‐inflammatory cytokines. Our results show that BMSCs can protect lung tissues from gastric aspiration injury and inhibit lung inflammation in rats. A beneficial effect might be achieved through BMSC‐derived 15d‐PGJ2 activation of the PPAR‐γ receptor, reducing the production of proinflammatory cytokines. 相似文献

Due to the intrinsic resistance of many tumors to radiotherapy, current methods to improve the survival of cancer patients largely depend on increasing tumor radiosensitivity. It is well‐known that miR‐200c inhibits epithelial–mesenchymal transition (EMT), and enhances cancer cell chemosensitivity. We sought to clarify the effects of miR‐200c on the radiosensitization of human breast cancer cells. In this study, we found that low levels of miR‐200c expression correlated with radiotolerance in breast cancer cells. miR‐200c overexpression could increase radiosensitivity in breast cancer cells by inhibiting cell proliferation, and by increasing apoptosis and DNA double‐strand breaks. Additionally, we found that miR‐200c directly targeted TANK‐binding kinase 1 (TBK1). However, overexpression of TBK1 partially rescued miR‐200c mediated apoptosis induced by ionizing radiation. In summary, miR‐200c can be a potential target for enhancing the effect of radiation treatment on breast cancer cells. J. Cell. Biochem. 114: 606–615, 2013. © 2012 Wiley Periodicals, Inc. 相似文献

Alpha B‐crystallin promotes the invasion and metastasis of gastric cancer via NF‐κB‐induced epithelial‐mesenchymal transition 下载免费PDF全文

Alpha B‐crystallin (CRYAB) is overexpressed in a variety of cancers. However, little is known about its specific function and regulatory mechanism in gastric cancer. Here, we first explore the role of CRYAB in gastric cancer progression and metastasis. The expression of CRYAB was determined by western blot and immunohistochemistry in gastric cancer tissues. Besides, methods including stably transfected against CRYAB into gastric cancer cells, western blot, migration and invasion assays in vitro and metastasis assay in vivo were also conducted. The expression of CRYAB is up‐regulated in gastric cancer tissues compared with matched normal tissues. High expression level of CRYAB is closely correlated with cancer metastasis and shorter survival time in patients with gastric cancer. Additionally, CRYAB silencing significantly suppresses epithelial‐mesenchymal transition (EMT), migration and invasion of gastric cancer cells in vitro and in vivo, whereas CRYAB overexpression dramatically reverses these events. Mechanically, CRYAB facilitates gastric cancer cells invasion and metastasis via nuclear factor‐κ‐gene binding (NF‐κB)‐regulated EMT. These findings suggest that CRYAB expression predicts a poor prognosis in patients with gastric cancer. Besides, CRYAB contributes to gastric cancer cells migration and invasion via EMT, mediated by the NF‐κB signalling pathway, thus possibly providing a novel therapeutic target for gastric cancer. 相似文献

miR‐34b‐5p inhibition attenuates lung inflammation and apoptosis in an LPS‐induced acute lung injury mouse model by targeting progranulin 下载免费PDF全文

Inflammation and apoptosis play important roles in the initiation and progression of acute lung injury (ALI). Our previous study has shown that progranulin (PGRN) exerts lung protective effects during LPS‐induced ALI. Here, we have investigated the potential roles of PGRN‐targeting microRNAs (miRNAs) in regulating inflammation and apoptosis in ALI and have highlighted the important role of PGRN. LPS‐induced lung injury and the protective roles of PGRN in ALI were first confirmed. The function of miR‐34b‐5p in ALI was determined by transfection of a miR‐34b‐5p mimic or inhibitor in intro and in vivo. The PGRN level gradually increased and subsequently significantly decreased, reaching its lowest value by 24 hr; PGRN was still elevated compared to the control. The change was accompanied by a release of inflammatory mediators and accumulation of inflammatory cells in the lungs. Using bioinformatics analysis and RT‐PCR, we demonstrated that, among 12 putative miRNAs, the kinetics of the miR‐34b‐5p levels were closely associated with PGRN expression in the lung homogenates. The gain‐ and loss‐of‐function analysis, dual‐luciferase reporter assays, and rescue experiments confirmed that PGRN was the functional target of miR‐34b‐5p. Intravenous injection of miR‐34b‐5p antagomir in vivo significantly inhibited miR‐34b‐5p up‐regulation, reduced inflammatory cytokine release, decreased alveolar epithelial cell apoptosis, attenuated lung inflammation, and improved survival by targeting PGRN during ALI. miR‐34b‐5p knockdown attenuates lung inflammation and apoptosis in an LPS‐induced ALI mouse model by targeting PGRN. This study shows that miR‐34b‐5p and PGRN may be potential targets for ALI treatments. 相似文献

Recent studies have showed that α5 nicotinic acetylcholine receptor (α5‐nAChR) is closely associated with nicotine‐related lung cancer. Our previous studies also demonstrated that α5‐nAChR mediates nicotine‐induced lung carcinogenesis. However, the mechanism by which α5‐nAChR functions in lung carcinogenesis remains to be elucidated. Jab1/Csn5 is a key regulatory factor in smoking‐induced lung cancer. In this study, we explored the underlying mechanisms linking the α5‐nAChR‐Jab1/Csn5 axis with lung cancer epithelial‐mesenchymal transition (EMT) and metastasis, which may provide potential therapeutic targets for future lung cancer treatments. Our results demonstrated that the expression of α5‐nAChR was correlated with the expression of Jab1/Csn5 in lung cancer tissues and lung cancer cells. α5‐nAChR expression is associated with Jab1/Csn5 expression in lung tumour xenografts in mice. In vitro, the expression of α5‐nAChR mediated Stat3 and Jab1/Csn5 expression, significantly regulating the expression of the EMT markers, N‐cadherin and Vimentin. In addition, the down‐regulation of α5‐nAChR or/and Stat3 reduced Jab1/Csn5 expression, while the silencing of α5‐nAChR or Jab1/Csn5 inhibited the migration and invasion of NSCLC cells. Mechanistically, α5‐nAChR contributes to EMT and metastasis by regulating Stat3‐Jab1/Csn5 signalling in NSCLC, suggesting that α5‐nAChR may be a potential target in NSCLC diagnosis and immunotherapy. 相似文献
