阿片类物质对猴免疫缺陷病毒感染的CEM×174细胞内p53合成的调节作用(英文)

已经证明阿片类物质如吗啡能够刺激猴免疫缺陷病毒 ( SIV)的复制 ,并最终加速细胞死亡 ,但是其机理却研究很少 .为探讨吗啡和甲硫氨酸脑啡肽对细胞内 p53合成的作用 ,用 SIV感染CEM× 1 74细胞 ,同时分析 SIV感染时病理过程的机理 .在 CEM× 1 74细胞感染 SIV后不同时间 ,p53含量逐渐增加 ,但 1 0 -7mol/L的吗啡仅在起始阶段对其有促进作用 .在 SIV感染组加入吗啡或甲硫氨酸脑啡肽进行时间曲线实验时 ,p53含量较低 .加入 1 0 -8～ 1 0 -6mol/L吗啡 8h,正常细胞 p53含量仅有轻微改变 .但在 SIV感染情况下 ,则呈现剂量依赖性的大量增加 .相反 ,1 0 -8- 1 0 -6mol/L甲硫氨酸脑啡肽在 8h时能增加正常细胞 p53合成达 60 % .在 SIV感染时 ,SIV本身能够促进 p53的含量 .尽管各组 p53仍然高于对照组 ,但甲硫氨酸脑啡肽对其不再起作用 .结果提示甲硫氨酸脑啡肽对正常细胞 p53含量有明显影响 ,而吗啡 8h增加 SIV感染细胞的 p53含量可能是其加速爱滋病病理过程的机理之一 .

Involvement of caspase-3 pathway in anti-apoptotic action of methionine enkephalin on CEM x 174 cells in prolonged infection with simian immunodeficiency virus in vitro

The roles of methionine enkephalin, as an immunomodulator, on immunodeficiency virus-induced apoptosis of lymphocytes during prolonged infection are still unclear. In the present study, we evaluated the effects of methionine enkephalin on the viability, the profile of cell cycle and apoptosis, as well as the expression of apoptosis-related genes in CEM x 174 cells infected with simian immunodeficiency virus for 72 h. Our data demonstrated that methionine enkephalin maintains the viability of cells during the period of prolonged infection. Following co-incubation with the virus, CEM x 174 cells were arrested at S phase, with increased mortality as a result of apoptosis. Methionine enkephalin could abolish virus-induced over-expression of caspase-3. Taken together all findings, we conclude that methionine enkephalin may maintain the viability of SIV-infected cells via suppressing the expression of caspase-3, which may have clinical implications in opioid peptide therapy for AIDS.     

Morphine alleviates early stages of apoptosis in cultured CEM x174 cells infected with simian immunodeficiency virus

The reduction in apoptosis caused by short-term exposure of CEM x174 cells infected with SIVmac239 to morphine was investigated. Eeffects of morphine on the viability of normal and infected CEM x174 cells were determined by MTS assay. Apoptosis induced by SIVmac239 and the effects of morphine were analyzed by flow cytometry. cAMP levels, PKA activity, and the resulting histone H3 phosphorylation levels were measured. The results show a pronounced decrease in numbers of infected SIVmac239 cells compared to controls. Morphine elevated cell viability in the infected groups. Annexin V binding assays showed that 1 microM l(-1) morphine increased the percentage of viable cells and decreased apoptotic cells. Morphine also downregulated cAMP and PKA activity in both groups, but more markedly in the infected group. Histone H3 phosphorylation was elevated after virus infection and decreased in the presence of morphine. The results indicate that the cAMP-PKA signal transduction cascade is involved in morphine regulation of early SIVmac239-induced apoptosis.     

Morphine suppresses lymphocyte apoptosis by blocking p53-mediated death signaling

Opiates such as morphine or heroin may promote cell apoptosis and cause dysfunction of immune cells. In simian immunodeficiency virus (SIV)-infected lymphocytic cells, however, morphine may protect the cells from apoptotic lysis and allow the virus to continue to replicate. To further explore this apparently antithetical effect of opiates, we evaluated in the present study the effects of morphine on human lymphocytic CEM x174 cells induced to undergo apoptosis in the presence of actinomycin D. It was found that induction of apoptosis (characterized by DNA laddering) by actinomycin D was accompanied by a stimulation of the expression of active (phosphorylated) form of p53. Pretreatment of the cells with 10nM morphine caused a transient, naloxone-reversible suppression of the appearance of activated p53 and the generation of DNA laddering. Parallel evaluation of the growth of CEM x174 indicated that morphine treatment delays the inception of cell death triggered by actinomycin D. Inasmuch as Bcl-2 suppresses while Bax accelerates apoptosis, treatment of cells with morphine reduced the expression of Bax and enhanced the expression of Bcl-2. Taken together, morphine, through binding at the opioid receptor, may protect lymphocytic cells from apoptotic lysis if cell death is initiated by apoptosis-inducing agents such as human immunodeficiency virus (HIV), SIV or actinomycin D.     

Histone H3 lysine-trimethylation markers are decreased by recombinant methioninase and increased by methotrexate at concentrations which inhibit methionine-addicted osteosarcoma cell proliferation

Methionine addiction is a fundamental and general hallmark of cancer cells, which require exogenous methionine, despite their ability to synthesize normal amounts of methionine from homocysteine. In contrast, methionine-independent normal cells do not require exogenous methionine in the presence of a methionine precursor. The methionine addiction of cancer cells is due to excess transmethylation reactions. We have previously shown that histone H3 lysine marks are over-methylated in cancer cells and the over-methylation is unstable when the cancer cells are restricted of methionine. In the present study, we show that methionine-addicted osteosarcoma cells are sensitive to both methotrexate (MTX) and recombinant methioninase (rMETase), but they affect histone H3 lysine-methylation in the opposite direction. Concentrations of MTX and rMETase, which inhibit osteosarcoma cells viability to 20%, had opposing effects on the status of histone methylation of H3K9me3 and H3K27me3. rMETase significantly decreased the amount of H3K9me3 and H3K27me3. In contrast, MTX significantly increased the amount of H3K9me and H3K27me3. The results suggest that increase or decrease in these methylated histone lysine marks is associated with proliferation arrest of methionine-addicted osteosarcoma.     

Protein kinase A (PKA) isoform RIIbeta mediates the synergistic killing effect of cAMP and glucocorticoid in acute lymphoblastic leukemia cells

Protein kinase A (PKA) or cAMP-dependent protein kinase (cAPK) mediates the synergistic effects of cAMP- and glucocorticoid (GC)-induced apoptosis in lymphoid cells. Using two human acute lymphoblastic leukemia cell (CEM) clones with respective GC-sensitive and GC-resistant phenotypes, we discovered that the PKA regulatory subunit isoform RII(beta) is preferentially expressed in the GC-sensitive clone C7-14 cells, whereas other intracellular cAMP receptors, including the exchange proteins directly activated by cAMP (Epac), are expressed at similar levels in both GC-sensitive and GC-resistant clones. High RII(beta) expression level in C7-14 cells is associated with elevated total PKA cellular activity and cAMP sensitivity, which consequently lead to an increased basal PKA activity. cAMP analogs that selectively activate type II PKA recapitulate the effects of forskolin of promoting apoptosis and antagonizing AKT/PKB activity in both GC-sensitive and GC-resistant clones, whereas type I PKA-selective agonists do not. Furthermore, down-regulation of RII(beta) leads to increased AKT/PKB activation and enhanced GC resistance in C7-14 cells. These results demonstrate that PKA RII(beta) is responsible for increased GC sensitivity, critical for cAMP-mediated synergistic cell killing in CEM cells, and may represent a novel therapeutic target for GC-resistant lymphoid malignancy.
