Gingival junctional epithelial cell apoptosis caused by periodontopathic bacteria exacerbates periodontitis. This pathological apoptosis is involved in the activation of transforming growth factor β (TGF‐β). However, the molecular mechanisms by which microbes induce the activation of TGF‐β remain unclear. We previously reported that Aggregatibacter actinomycetemcomitans (Aa) activated TGF‐β receptor (TGF‐βR)/smad2 signalling to induce epithelial cell apoptosis, even though Aa cannot bind to TGF‐βR. Additionally, outer membrane protein 29 kDa (Omp29), a member of the Aa Omps family, can induce actin rearrangements via focal adhesion kinase (FAK) signalling, which also plays a role in the activation of TGF‐β by cooperating with integrin. Accordingly, we hypothesized that Omp29‐induced actin rearrangements via FAK activity would enhance the activation of TGF‐β, leading to gingival epithelial cell apoptosis in vitro. By using human gingival epithelial cell line OBA9, we found that Omp29 activated TGF‐βR/smad2 signalling and decreased active TGF‐β protein levels in the extracellular matrix (ECM) of cell culture, suggesting the transactivation of TGF‐βR. Inhibition of actin rearrangements by cytochalasin D or blebbistatin and knockdown of FAK or integrinβ1 expression by siRNA transfection attenuated TGF‐βR/smad2 signalling activity and reduction of TGF‐β levels in the ECM caused by Omp29. Furthermore, Omp29 bound to fibronectin (Fn) to induce its aggregation on integrinβ1, which is associated with TGF‐β signalling activity. All the chemical inhibitors and siRNAs tested blocked Omp29‐induced OBA9 cells apoptosis. These results suggest that Omp29 binds to Fn in order to facilitate Fn/integrinβ1/FAK signalling‐dependent TGF‐β release from the ECM, thereby inducing gingival epithelial cell apoptosis via TGF‐βR/smad2 pathway. 相似文献

Idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis is a severe disease characterized by excessive myofibroblast proliferation, extracellular matrix and fibrils deposition, remodelling of lung parenchyma and pulmonary insufficiency. Drugs able to reduce disease progression are available, but therapeutic results are unsatisfactory; new and safe treatments are urgently needed. Poly(ADP‐ribose) polymerases‐1 (PARP‐1) is an abundant nuclear enzyme involved in key biological processes: DNA repair, gene expression control, and cell survival or death. In liver and heart, PARP‐1 activity facilitates oxidative damage, collagen deposition and fibrosis development. In this study, we investigated the effects of HYDAMTIQ, a potent PARP‐1 inhibitor, in a murine model of lung fibrosis. We evaluated the role of PARP on transforming growth factor‐β (TGF‐β) expression and TGF‐β/SMAD signalling pathway in lungs. Mice were intratracheally injected with bleomycin and then treated with either vehicle or different doses of HYDAMTIQ for 21 days. Airway resistance to inflation and lung static compliance, markers of lung stiffness, were assayed. Histochemical and biochemical parameters to evaluate TGF‐β/SMAD signalling pathway with alpha‐smooth muscle actin (αSMA) deposition and the levels of a number of inflammatory markers (tumour necrosis factor‐α, interleukin‐1β, iNOS and COX‐2) were performed. Bleomycin administration increased lung stiffness. It also increased lung PARP activity, TGF‐β levels, pSMAD3 expression, αSMA deposition and content of inflammatory markers. HYDAMTIQ attenuated all the above‐mentioned physiological, biochemical and histopathological markers. Our findings support the proposal that PARP inhibitors could have a therapeutic potential in reducing the progression of signs and symptoms of the disease by decreasing TGF‐β expression and the TGF‐β/SMAD transduction pathway. 相似文献

Receptor‐interacting serine/threonine kinase 4 (RIPK4) and transforming growth factor‐β 1 (TGF‐β1) play critical roles in the development and maintenance of the epidermis. A negative correlation between the expression patterns of RIPK4 and TGF‐β signaling during epidermal homeostasis‐related events and suppression of RIPK4 expression by TGF‐β1 in keratinocyte cell lines suggest the presence of a negative regulatory loop between the two factors. So far, RIPK4 has been shown to regulate nuclear factor‐κB (NF‐κB), protein kinase C (PKC), wingless‐type MMTV integration site family (Wnt), and (mitogen‐activated protein kinase) MAPK signaling pathways. In this study, we examined the effect of RIPK4 on the canonical Smad‐mediated TGF‐β1 signaling pathway by using the immortalized human keratinocyte HaCaT cell line. According to our results, RIPK4 inhibits intracellular Smad‐mediated TGF‐β1 signaling events through suppression of TGF‐β1‐induced Smad2/3 phosphorylation, which is reflected in the upcoming intracellular events including Smad2/3‐Smad4 interaction, nuclear localization, and TGF‐β1‐induced gene expression. Moreover, the kinase activity of RIPK4 is required for this process. The in vitro wound‐scratch assay demonstrated that RIPK4 suppressed TGF‐β1‐mediated wound healing through blocking TGF‐β1‐induced cell migration. In conclusion, our results showed the antagonistic effect of RIPK4 on TGF‐β1 signaling in keratinocytes for the first time and have the potential to contribute to the understanding and treatment of skin diseases associated with aberrant TGF‐β1 signaling. 相似文献

Posterior capsular opacification (PCO) is the major complication arising after cataract treatment. PCO occurs when the lens epithelial cells remaining following surgery (LCs) undergo a wound healing response producing a mixture of α‐smooth muscle actin (α‐SMA)‐expressing myofibroblasts and lens fibre cells, which impair vision. Prior investigations have proposed that integrins play a central role in PCO and we found that, in a mouse fibre cell removal model of cataract surgery, expression of αV integrin and its interacting β‐subunits β1, β5, β6, β8 are up‐regulated concomitant with α‐SMA in LCs following surgery. To test the hypothesis that αV integrins are functionally important in PCO pathogenesis, we created mice lacking the αV integrin subunit in all lens cells. Adult lenses lacking αV integrins are transparent and show no apparent morphological abnormalities when compared with control lenses. However, following surgical fibre cell removal, the LCs in control eyes increased cell proliferation, and up‐regulated the expression of α‐SMA, β1‐integrin, fibronectin, tenascin‐C and transforming growth factor beta (TGF‐β)–induced protein within 48 hrs, while LCs lacking αV integrins exhibited much less cell proliferation and little to no up‐regulation of any of the fibrotic markers tested. This effect appears to result from the known roles of αV integrins in latent TGF‐β activation as αV integrin null lenses do not exhibit detectable SMAD‐3 phosphorylation after surgery, while this occurs robustly in control lenses, consistent with the known roles for TGF‐β in fibrotic PCO. These data suggest that therapeutics antagonizing αV integrin function could be used to prevent fibrotic PCO following cataract surgery. 相似文献

Aortic root aneurysm formation is a cardinal feature of Marfan syndrome (MFS) and likely TGF‐β driven via Smad (canonical) and ERK (non‐canonical) signalling. The current study assesses human MFS vascular smooth muscle cell (SMC) phenotype, focusing on individual contributions by Smad and ERK, with Notch3 signalling identified as a novel compensatory mechanism against TGF‐β‐driven pathology. Although significant ERK activation and mixed contractile gene expression patterns were observed by traditional analysis, this did not directly correlate with the anatomic site of the aneurysm. Smooth muscle cell phenotypic changes were TGF‐β‐dependent and opposed by ERK in vitro, implicating the canonical Smad pathway. Bulk SMC RNA sequencing after ERK inhibition showed that ERK modulates cell proliferation, apoptosis, inflammation, and Notch signalling via Notch3 in MFS. Reversing Notch3 overexpression with siRNA demonstrated that Notch3 promotes several protective remodelling pathways, including increased SMC proliferation, decreased apoptosis and reduced matrix metalloproteinase activity, in vitro. In conclusion, in human MFS aortic SMCs: (a) ERK activation is enhanced but not specific to the site of aneurysm formation; (b) ERK opposes TGF‐β‐dependent negative effects on SMC phenotype; (c) multiple distinct SMC subtypes contribute to a ‘mixed’ contractile‐synthetic phenotype in MFS aortic aneurysm; and (d) ERK drives Notch3 overexpression, a potential pathway for tissue remodelling in response to aneurysm formation. 相似文献

Modulation of the vascular smooth‐muscle‐cell (vSMC) phenotype from a quiescent ‘contractile’ phenotype to a proliferative ‘synthetic’ phenotype has been implicated in vascular injury repair, as well as pathogenesis of vascular proliferative diseases. Both bone morphogenetic protein (BMP) and transforming growth factor‐β (TGFβ)‐signalling pathways promote a contractile phenotype, while the platelet‐derived growth factor‐BB (PDGF‐BB)‐signalling pathway promotes a switch to the synthetic phenotype. Here we show that PDGF‐BB induces microRNA‐24 (miR‐24), which in turn leads to downregulation of Tribbles‐like protein‐3 (Trb3). Repression of Trb3 coincides with reduced expression of Smad proteins and decrease in BMP and TGFβ signalling, promoting a synthetic phenotype in vSMCs. Inhibition of miR‐24 by antisense oligonuclotides abrogates the downregulation of Trb3 as well as pro‐synthetic activity of the PDGF‐signalling pathway. Thus, this study provides a molecular basis for the antagonism between the PDGF and TGFβ pathways, and its effect on the control of the vSMC phenotype. 相似文献

Actin cytoskeleton assembly regulates collagen production via TGF‐β type II receptor in human skin fibroblasts 下载免费PDF全文

The dermal compartment of skin is primarily composed of collagen‐rich extracellular matrix (ECM), which is produced by dermal fibroblasts. In Young skin, fibroblasts attach to the ECM through integrins. During ageing, fragmentation of the dermal ECM limits fibroblast attachment. This reduced attachment is associated with decreased collagen production, a major cause of skin thinning and fragility, in the elderly. Fibroblast attachment promotes assembly of the cellular actin cytoskeleton, which generates mechanical forces needed for structural support. The mechanism(s) linking reduced assembly of the actin cytoskeleton to decreased collagen production remains unclear. Here, we report that disassembly of the actin cytoskeleton results in impairment of TGF‐β pathway, which controls collagen production, in dermal fibroblasts. Cytoskeleton disassembly rapidly down‐regulates TGF‐β type II receptor (TβRII) levels. This down‐regulation leads to reduced activation of downstream effectors Smad2/Smad3 and CCN2, resulting in decreased collagen production. These responses are fully reversible; restoration of actin cytoskeleton assembly up‐regulates TβRII, Smad2/Smad3, CCN2 and collagen expression. Finally, actin cytoskeleton‐dependent reduction of TβRII is mediated by induction of microRNA 21, a potent inhibitor of TβRII protein expression. Our findings reveal a novel mechanism that links actin cytoskeleton assembly and collagen expression in dermal fibroblasts. This mechanism likely contributes to loss of TβRII and collagen production, which are observed in aged human skin. 相似文献

Hyperosmolarity plays an essential role in the pathogenesis of diabetic tubular fibrosis. However, the mechanism of the involvement of hyperosmolarity remains unclear. In this study, mannitol was used to evaluate the effects of hyperosmolarity on a renal distal tubule cell line (MDCK). We investigated transforming growth factor‐β receptors and their downstream fibrogenic signal proteins. We show that hyperosmolarity significantly enhances the susceptibility to exogenous transforming growth factor (TGF)‐β1, as mannitol (27.5 mM) significantly enhanced the TGF‐β1‐induced increase in fibronectin levels compared with control experiments (5.5 mM). Specifically, hyperosmolarity induced tyrosine phosphorylation on TGF‐β RII at 336 residues in a time (0–24 h) and dose (5.5–38.5 mM) dependent manner. In addition, hyperosmolarity increased the level of TGF‐β RI in a dose‐ and time‐course dependent manner. These observations may be closely related to decreased catabolism of TGF‐β RI. Hyperosmolarity significantly downregulated the expression of an inhibitory Smad (Smad7), decreased the level of Smurf 1, and reduced ubiquitination of TGF‐β RI. In addition, through the use of cycloheximide and the proteasome inhibitor MG132, we showed that hyperosmolarity significantly increased the half‐life and inhibited the protein level of TGF‐β RI by polyubiquitination and proteasomal degradation. Taken together, our data suggest that hyperosmolarity enhances cellular susceptibility to renal tubular fibrosis by activating the Smad7 pathway and increasing the stability of type I TGF‐β receptors by retarding proteasomal degradation of TGF‐β RI. This study clarifies the mechanism underlying hyperosmotic‐induced renal fibrosis in renal distal tubule cells. J. Cell. Biochem. 109: 663–671, 2010. © 2010 Wiley‐Liss, Inc. 相似文献

Proliferative vitreoretinopathy (PVR) is a blinding eye disease. Epithelial‐mesenchymal transition (EMT) of RPE cells plays an important role in the pathogenesis of PVR. In the current study, we sought to investigate the role of the methyl‐CpG‐binding protein 2 (MeCP2), especially P‐MeCP2‐421 in the pathogenesis of PVR. The expressions of P‐MeCP2‐421, P‐MeCP2‐80, PPAR‐γ and the double labelling of P‐MeCP2‐421 with α‐SMA, cytokeratin, TGF‐β and PPAR‐γ in human PVR membranes were analysed by immunohistochemistry. The effect of knocking down MeCP2 using siRNA on the expressions of α‐SMA, phospho‐Smad2/3, collagen I, fibronectin and PPAR‐γ; the expression of α‐SMA stimulated by recombinant MeCP2 in ARPE‐19; and the effect of TGF‐β and 5‐AZA treatment on PPAR‐γ expression were analysed by Western blot. Chromatin immunoprecipitation was used to determine the binding of MeCP2 to TGF‐β. Our results showed that P‐MeCP2‐421 was highly expressed in PVR membranes and was double labelled with α‐SMA, cytokeratin and TGF‐β, knocking down MeCP2 inhibited the activation of Smad2/3 and the expression of collagen I and fibronectin induced by TGF‐β. TGF‐β inhibited the expression of PPAR‐γ, silence of MeCP2 by siRNA or using MeCP2 inhibitor (5‐AZA) increased the expression of PPAR‐γ. α‐SMA was up‐regulated by the treatment of recombinant MeCP2. Importantly, we found that MeCP2 bound to TGF‐β as demonstrated by Chip assay. The results suggest that MeCP2 especially P‐MeCP2‐421 may play a significant role in the pathogenesis of PVR and targeting MeCP2 may be a potential therapeutic approach for the treatment of PVR. 相似文献

Connective tissue growth factor (CTGF/CCN2) is a matricellular protein induced by transforming growth factor (TGF)‐β and intimately involved with tissue repair and overexpressed in various fibrotic conditions. We previously showed that keratinocytes in vitro downregulate TGF‐β‐induced expression of CTGF in fibroblasts by an interleukin (IL)‐1 α‐dependent mechanism. Here, we investigated further the mechanisms of this downregulation by both IL‐1α and β. Human dermal fibroblasts and NIH 3T3 cells were treated with IL‐1α or β in presence or absence of TGF‐β1. IL‐1 suppressed basal and TGF‐β‐induced CTGF mRNA and protein expression. IL‐1α and β inhibited TGF‐β‐stimulated CTGF promoter activity, and the activity of a synthetic minimal promoter containing Smad 3‐binding CAGA elements. Furthermore, IL‐1α and β inhibited TGF‐β‐stimulated Smad 3 phosphorylation, possibly linked to an observed increase in Smad 7 mRNA expression. In addition, RNA interference suggested that TGF‐β activated kinase1 (TAK1) is necessary for IL‐1 inhibition of TGF‐β‐stimulated CTGF expression. These results add to the understanding of how the expression of CTGF in human dermal fibroblasts is regulated, which in turn may have implications for the pathogenesis of fibrotic conditions involving the skin.

GP73 promotes invasion and metastasis of bladder cancer by regulating the epithelial–mesenchymal transition through the TGF‐β1/Smad2 signalling pathway 下载免费PDF全文

This study investigated the effects of Golgi membrane protein 73 (GP73) on the epithelial–mesenchymal transition (EMT) and on bladder cancer cell invasion and metastasis through the TGF‐β1/Smad2 signalling pathway. Paired bladder cancer and adjacent tissue samples (102) and normal bladder tissue samples (106) were obtained. Bladder cancer cell lines (T24, 5637, RT4, 253J and J82) were selected and assigned to blank, negative control (NC), TGF‐β, thrombospondin‐1 (TSP‐1), TGF‐β1+ TSP‐1, GP73‐siRNA‐1, GP73‐siRNA‐2, GP73‐siRNA‐1+ TSP‐1, GP73‐siRNA‐1+ pcDNA‐GP73, WT1‐siRNA and WT1‐siRNA + GP73‐siRNA‐1 groups. Expressions of GP73, TGF‐β1, Smad2, p‐Smad2, E‐cadherin and vimentin were detected using RT‐qPCR and Western blotting. Cell proliferation, migration and invasion were determined using MTT assay, scratch testing and Transwell assay, respectively. Compared with the blank and NC groups, levels of GP73, TGF‐β1, Smad2, p‐Smad2, N‐cadherin and vimentin decreased, and levels of WT1 and E‐cadherin increased in the GP73‐siRNA‐1 and GP73‐siRNA‐2 groups, while the opposite results were observed in the WT1 siRNA, TGF‐β, TSP‐1 and TGF‐β + TSP‐1 groups. Cell proliferation, migration and invasion notably decreased in the GP73‐siRNA‐1 and GP73‐siRNA‐2 groups in comparison with the blank and NC groups, while in the WT1 siRNA, TGF‐β, TSP‐1 and TGF‐β + TSP‐1 groups, cell migration, invasion and proliferation showed the reduction after the EMT. These results suggest that GP73 promotes bladder cancer invasion and metastasis by inducing the EMT through down‐regulating WT1 levels and activating the TGF‐β1/Smad2 signalling pathway. 相似文献

The transforming growth factor‐β (TGF‐β) signaling pathway progresses through a series of protein phosphorylation regulated steps. Smad4 is a key mediator of the classical TGF‐β signaling pathway; however, reports suggest that TGF‐β can activate other cellular pathways independent of Smad4. By investigating the TGF‐β‐regulated phosphoproteome, we aimed to uncover new functions controlled by TGF‐β. We applied titanium dioxide to enrich phosphopeptides from stable isotope labeling with amino acids in cell culture (SILAC)‐labeled SW480 cells stably expressing Smad4 and profiled them by mass spectrometry. TGF‐β stimulation for 30 min resulted in the induction of 17 phosphopeptides and the repression of 8 from a total of 149 unique phosphopeptides. Proteins previously not known to be phosphorylated by TGF‐β including programmed cell death protein 4, nuclear ubiquitous casein and cyclin‐dependent kinases substrate, hepatoma‐derived growth factor and cell division kinases amongst others were induced following TGF‐β stimulation, while the phosphorylation of TRAF2 and NCK‐interacting protein kinase are examples of proteins whose phosphorylation status was repressed. This phosphoproteomic screen has identified new TGF‐β‐modulated phosphorylation responses in colon carcinoma cells. 相似文献

Crosstalk between Smad2/3 and specific isoforms of ERK in TGF‐β1‐induced TIMP‐3 expression in rat chondrocytes 下载免费PDF全文

This study investigated the roles of ERK1 and ERK2 in transforming growth factor‐β1 (TGF‐β1)‐induced tissue inhibitor of metalloproteinases‐3 (TIMP‐3) expression in rat chondrocytes, and the specific roles of ERK1 and ERK2 in crosstalk with Smad2/3 were investigated to demonstrate the molecular mechanism of ERK1/2 regulation of TGF‐β1 signalling. To examine the interaction of specific isoforms of ERK and the Smad2/3 signalling pathway, chondrocytes were infected with LV expressing either ERK1 or ERK2 siRNA and stimulated with or without TGF‐β1. At indicated time‐points, TIMP‐3 expression was determined by real‐time PCR and Western blotting; p‐Smad3, nuclear p‐Smad3, Smad2/3, p‐ERK1/2 and ERK1/2 levels were assessed. And then, aggrecan, type II collagen and the intensity of matrix were examined. TGF‐β1‐induced TIMP‐3 expression was significantly inhibited by ERK1 knock‐down, and the decrease in TIMP‐3 expression was accompanied by a reduction of p‐Smad3 in ERK1 knock‐down cells. Knock‐down of ERK2 had no effect on neither TGF‐β1‐induced TIMP‐3 expression nor the quantity of p‐Smad3. Moreover, aggrecan, type II collagen expression and the intensity of matrix were significantly suppressed by ERK1 knock‐down instead of ERK2 knock‐down. Taken together, ERK1 and ERK2 have different roles in TGF‐β1‐induced TIMP‐3 expression in rat chondrocytes. ERK1 instead of ERK2 can regulate TGF‐β/Smad signalling, which may be the mechanism through which ERK1 regulates TGF‐β1‐induced TIMP‐3 expression. 相似文献
