This study is to investigate the inhibitory effects and mechanisms of DEK‐targeting aptamer (DTA‐64) on epithelial mesenchymaltransition (EMT)‐mediated airway remodelling in mice and human bronchial epithelial cell line BEAS‐2B. In the ovalbumin (OVA)‐induced asthmatic mice, DTA‐64 significantly reduced the infiltration of eosinophils and neutrophils in lung tissue, attenuated the airway resistance and the proliferation of goblet cells. In addition, DTA‐64 reduced collagen deposition, transforming growth factor 1 (TGF‐β1) level in BALF and IgE levels in serum, balanced Th1/Th2/Th17 ratio, and decreased mesenchymal proteins (vimentin and α‐SMA), as well as weekend matrix metalloproteinases (MMP‐2 and MMP‐9) and NF‐κB p65 activity. In the in vitro experiments, we used TGF‐β1 to induce EMT in the human epithelial cell line BEAS‐2B. DEK overexpression (ovDEK) or silencing (shDEK) up‐regulated or down‐regulated TGF‐β1 expression, respectively, on the contrary, TGF‐β1 exposure had no effect on DEK expression. Furthermore, ovDEK and TGF‐β1 synergistically promoted EMT, whereas shDEK significantly reduced mesenchymal markers and increased epithelial markers, thus inhibiting EMT. Additionally, shDEK inhibited key proteins in TGF‐β1‐mediated signalling pathways, including Smad2/3, Smad4, p38 MAPK, ERK1/2, JNK and PI3K/AKT/mTOR. In conclusion, the effects of DTA‐64 against EMT of asthmatic mice and BEAS‐2B might partially be achieved through suppressing TGF‐β1/Smad, MAPK and PI3K signalling pathways. DTA‐64 may be a new therapeutic option for the management of airway remodelling in asthma patients. 相似文献

Helicobacter pylori infection constitutes one of the major risk factors for the development of gastric diseases including gastric cancer. The activation of nuclear factor‐kappa‐light‐chain‐enhancer of activated B cells (NF‐κB) via classical and alternative pathways is a hallmark of H. pylori infection leading to inflammation in gastric epithelial cells. Tumor necrosis factor receptor‐associated factor (TRAF)‐interacting protein with forkhead‐associated domain (TIFA) was previously suggested to trigger classical NF‐κB activation, but its role in alternative NF‐κB activation remains unexplored. Here, we identify TRAF6 and TRAF2 as binding partners of TIFA, contributing to the formation of TIFAsomes upon H. pylori infection. Importantly, the TIFA/TRAF6 interaction enables binding of TGFβ‐activated kinase 1 (TAK1), leading to the activation of classical NF‐κB signaling, while the TIFA/TRAF2 interaction causes the transient displacement of cellular inhibitor of apoptosis 1 (cIAP1) from TRAF2, and proteasomal degradation of cIAP1, to facilitate the activation of the alternative NF‐κB pathway. Our findings therefore establish a dual function of TIFA in the activation of classical and alternative NF‐κB signaling in H. pylori‐infected gastric epithelial cells. 相似文献

JAK/STAT and NFκB signalling pathways play essential roles in regulating inflammatory responses, which are important pathogenic factors of various serious immune‐related diseases, and function individually or synergistically. To find prodrugs that can treat inflammation, we performed a preliminary high‐throughput screening of 18 840 small molecular compounds and identified scaffold compound L971 which significantly inhibited JAK/STAT and NFκB driven luciferase activities. L971 could inhibit the constitutive and stimuli‐dependent activation of STAT1, STAT3 and IκBα and could significantly down‐regulate the proinflammatory gene expression in mouse peritoneal macrophages stimulated by LPS. Gene expression profiles upon L971 treatment were determined using high‐throughput RNA sequencing, and significant differentially up‐regulated and down‐regulated genes were identified by DESeq analysis. The bioinformatic studies confirmed the anti‐inflammatory effects of L971. Finally, L971 anti‐inflammatory character was further verified in LPS‐induced sepsis shock mouse model in vivo. Taken together, these data indicated that L971 could down‐regulate both JAK/STAT and NFκB signalling activities and has the potential to treat inflammatory diseases such as sepsis shock. 相似文献

Balancing cell death is essential to maintain healthy tissue homeostasis and prevent disease. Tumor necrosis factor (TNF) not only activates nuclear factor κB (NFκB), which coordinates the cellular response to inflammation, but may also trigger necroptosis, a pro‐inflammatory form of cell death. Whether TNF‐induced NFκB affects the fate decision to undergo TNF‐induced necroptosis is unclear. Live‐cell microscopy and model‐aided analysis of death kinetics identified a molecular circuit that interprets TNF‐induced NFκB/RelA dynamics to control necroptosis decisions. Inducible expression of TNFAIP3/A20 forms an incoherent feedforward loop to interfere with the RIPK3‐containing necrosome complex and protect a fraction of cells from transient, but not long‐term TNF exposure. Furthermore, dysregulated NFκB dynamics often associated with disease diminish TNF‐induced necroptosis. Our results suggest that TNF''s dual roles in either coordinating cellular responses to inflammation, or further amplifying inflammation are determined by a dynamic NFκB‐A20‐RIPK3 circuit, that could be targeted to treat inflammation and cancer. 相似文献

Radiation‐induced lung injury (RILI) mainly contributes to the complications of thoracic radiotherapy. RILI can be divided into radiation pneumonia (RP) and radiation‐induced lung fibrosis (RILF). Once RILF occurs, patients will eventually develop irreversible respiratory failure; thus, a new treatment strategy to prevent RILI is urgently needed. This study explored the therapeutic effect of pirfenidone (PFD), a Food and Drug Administration (FDA)‐approved drug for (IPF) treatment, and its mechanism in the treatment of RILF. In vivo, C57BL/6 mice received a 50 Gy dose of X‐ray radiation to the whole thorax with or without the administration of PFD. Collagen deposition and fibrosis in the lung were reversed by PFD treatment, which was associated with reduced M2 macrophage infiltration and inhibition of the transforming growth factor‐β1 (TGF‐β1)/Drosophila mothers against the decapentaplegic 3 (Smad3) signalling pathway. Moreover, PFD treatment decreased the radiation‐induced expression of TGF‐β1 and phosphorylation of Smad3 in alveolar epithelial cells (AECs) and vascular endothelial cells (VECs). Furthermore, IL‐4–induced M2 macrophage polarization and IL‐13–induced M2 macrophage polarization were suppressed by PFD treatment in vitro, resulting in reductions in the release of arginase‐1 (ARG‐1), chitinase 3‐like 3 (YM‐1) and TGF‐β1. Notably, the PFD‐induced inhibitory effects on M2 macrophage polarization were associated with downregulation of nuclear factor kappa‐B (NF‐κB) p50 activity. Additionally, PFD could significantly inhibit ionizing radiation‐induced chemokine secretion in MLE‐12 cells and consequently impair the migration of RAW264.7 cells. PFD could also eliminate TGF‐β1 from M2 macrophages by attenuating the activation of TGF‐β1/Smad3. In conclusion, PFD is a potential therapeutic agent to ameliorate fibrosis in RILF by reducing M2 macrophage infiltration and inhibiting the activation of TGF‐β1/Smad3. 相似文献

Mitochondria are increasingly recognized as cellular hubs to orchestrate signaling pathways that regulate metabolism, redox homeostasis, and cell fate decisions. Recent research revealed a role of mitochondria also in innate immune signaling; however, the mechanisms of how mitochondria affect signal transduction are poorly understood. Here, we show that the NF‐κB pathway activated by TNF employs mitochondria as a platform for signal amplification and shuttling of activated NF‐κB to the nucleus. TNF treatment induces the recruitment of HOIP, the catalytic component of the linear ubiquitin chain assembly complex (LUBAC), and its substrate NEMO to the outer mitochondrial membrane, where M1‐ and K63‐linked ubiquitin chains are generated. NF‐κB is locally activated and transported to the nucleus by mitochondria, leading to an increase in mitochondria‐nucleus contact sites in a HOIP‐dependent manner. Notably, TNF‐induced stabilization of the mitochondrial kinase PINK1 furthermore contributes to signal amplification by antagonizing the M1‐ubiquitin‐specific deubiquitinase OTULIN. Overall, our study reveals a role for mitochondria in amplifying TNF‐mediated NF‐κB activation, both serving as a signaling platform, as well as a transport mode for activated NF‐κB to the nuclear. 相似文献

Helicobacter pylori is a pathogen that colonizes the stomach and causes chronic gastritis. Helicobacter pylori can colonize deep inside gastric glands, triggering increased R‐spondin 3 (Rspo3) signaling. This causes an expansion of the “gland base module,” which consists of self‐renewing stem cells and antimicrobial secretory cells and results in gland hyperplasia. The contribution of Rspo3 receptors Lgr4 and Lgr5 is not well explored. Here, we identified that Lgr4 regulates Lgr5 expression and is required for H. pylori‐induced hyperplasia and inflammation, while Lgr5 alone is not. Using conditional knockout mice, we reveal that R‐spondin signaling via Lgr4 drives proliferation of stem cells and also induces NF‐κB activity in the proliferative stem cells. Upon exposure to H. pylori, the Lgr4‐driven NF‐κB activation is responsible for the expansion of the gland base module and simultaneously enables chemokine expression in stem cells, resulting in gland hyperplasia and neutrophil recruitment. This demonstrates a connection between R‐spondin‐Lgr and NF‐κB signaling that links epithelial stem cell behavior and inflammatory responses to gland‐invading H. pylori. 相似文献

IntroductionPlatelets benefit tissue regeneration by secreting growth factors, and platelet products, for example, platelet lysate (PL), have been clinically applied for tissue rejuvenation. To determine the anti‐ageing efficacy and mechanism of human PL (hPL) on skin, this study conducted clinical retrospective analysis, nude mice‐based in vivo study and human dermal fibroblasts (HDFs)‐based in vitro study.MethodsFlow cytometry was employed for quality control of hPL, and ELISA was used for quantification of growth factors (EGF, IGF‐1, PDGF and TGF‐β) in hPL. After d‐galactose modelling, skin texture grading, histopathological observation, immunofluorescence analysis and oxidative stress assays were conducted on nude mice, while SA‐β‐gal staining, CCK‐8 and wound healing assays were conducted on HDFs. qPCR and western blot were conducted to clarify hPL''s mechanism.ResultsThe clinical retrospective data showed that hPL obviously rejuvenated human skin appearances without adverse events. The animal data showed that hPL exerted rejuvenative effects on skin, and the cellular data showed that hPL significantly promoted the proliferation and migration of HDFs and suppressed senescence‐associated secretory protein secretion and senescence state of senescent HDFs by suppressing NF‐κB pathway. The NF‐κB‐dependent mechanism was verified positively by using P65 siRNA and negatively by using prostratin. Furthermore, EGF, IGF‐1, PDGF and TGF‐β were found as the main ingredients in hPL, which contributed to the efficacy and mechanism of hPL.ConclusionThis study provided novel knowledge of hPL, making it ideal for skin rejuvenation.Human platelet lysate (hPL) exerted rejuvenative and regenerative efficacy on skin ageing of nude mice and senescent HDFs through NF‐κB signalling pathway. A retrospective study further verified hPL''s efficacy and safety in clinic. 相似文献

Synovial macrophage polarization and inflammation are essential for osteoarthritis (OA) development, yet the molecular mechanisms and regulation responsible for the pathogenesis are still poorly understood. Here, we report that pseudolaric acid B (PAB) attenuated articular cartilage degeneration and synovitis during OA. PAB, a diterpene acid, specifically inhibited NF‐κB signalling and reduced the production of pro‐inflammatory cytokines, which further decreased M1 polarization and vessel formation. We further provide in vivo and in vitro evidences that PAB suppressed NF‐κB signalling by stabilizing PPARγ. Using PPARγ antagonist could abolish anti‐inflammatory effect of PAB and rescue the activation of NF‐κB signalling during OA. Our findings identify a previously unrecognized role of PAB in the regulation of OA and provide mechanisms by which PAB regulates NF‐κB signalling through PPARγ, which further suggest targeting synovial inflammation or inhibiting vessel formation at early stage could be an effective preventive strategy for OA. 相似文献

Gene variants associated with longevity are also associated with protection against cognitive decline, dementia and Alzheimer''s disease, suggesting that common physiologic pathways act at the interface of longevity and cognitive function. To test the hypothesis that variants in genes implicated in cognitive function may promote exceptional longevity, we performed a comprehensive 3‐stage study to identify functional longevity‐associated variants in ~700 candidate genes in up to 450 centenarians and 500 controls by target capture sequencing analysis. We found an enrichment of longevity‐associated genes in the nPKC and NF‐κB signaling pathways by gene‐based association analyses. Functional analysis of the top three gene variants (NFKBIA, CLU, PRKCH) suggests that non‐coding variants modulate the expression of cognate genes, thereby reducing signaling through the nPKC and NF‐κB. This matches genetic studies in multiple model organisms, suggesting that the evolutionary conservation of reduced PKC and NF‐κB signaling pathways in exceptional longevity may include humans. 相似文献

Systemic Sclerosis (SSc) is a rare fibrotic autoimmune disorder for which no curative treatments currently exist. Metabolic remodelling has recently been implicated in other autoimmune diseases; however, its potential role in SSc has received little attention. Here, we aimed to determine whether changes to glycolysis and glutaminolysis are important features of skin fibrosis. TGF‐β1, the quintessential pro‐fibrotic stimulus, was used to activate fibrotic pathways in NHDFs in vitro. Dermal fibroblasts derived from lesions of SSc patients were also used for in vitro experiments. Parameters of glycolytic function were assessed using by measuring extracellular acidification in response to glycolytic activators/inhibitors, whilst markers of fibrosis were measured by Western blotting following the use of the glycolysis inhibitors 2‐dg and 3PO and the glutaminolysis inhibitor G968. Succinate was also measured after TGF‐β1 stimulation. Itaconate was added to SSc fibroblasts and collagen examined. TGF‐β1 up‐regulates glycolysis in dermal fibroblasts, and inhibition of glycolysis attenuates its pro‐fibrotic effects. Furthermore, inhibition of glutamine metabolism also reverses TGF‐β1‐induced fibrosis, whilst glutaminase expression is up‐regulated in dermal fibroblasts derived from SSc patient skin lesions, suggesting that enhanced glutamine metabolism is another aspect of the pro‐fibrotic metabolic phenotype in skin fibrosis. TGF‐β1 was also able to enhance succinate production, with increased succinate shown to be associated with increased collagen expression. Incubation of SSc cells with itaconate, an important metabolite, reduced collagen expression. TGF‐β1 activation of glycolysis is a key feature of the fibrotic phenotype induced by TGF‐B1 in skin cells, whilst increased glutaminolysis is also evident in SSc fibroblasts. 相似文献

The development and progression of colorectal cancer (CRC) have been associated with inflammation processes that involve the overactivation of the NF‐κB signalling pathway. The characterization of the NF‐κB expression profile in CRC is an important topic since the suppression of NF‐κB represents a potential therapeutic approach. In this study, we assessed the expression levels of 84 NF‐κB‐related genes in paired tumoral (T) and peritumoral (PT) tissues from 18 CRC patients and 18 normal colonic mucosae, and the expression levels of three miRNAs targeting the most dysregulated genes revealed by the case–control analysis. Comparing the gene expression profile of T and controls, 60 genes were dysregulated. The comparison of T and PT revealed 17 dysregulated genes in the tumoral tissues, with IL1B, CXCL8, IL1A, and CSF2 being the most upregulated. Notably, through a bioinformatics analysis, the differential gene expression of 11 out of the 17 genes was validated on a larger cohort of 308 CRC patients compared with 41 controls. Moreover, a decrease in the levels of RELA, NOD1, CASP8, BCL2L1, ELK1, and IKBKB was identified in poorly differentiated tumours compared to moderately differentiated tumours. The analysis of the three miRNAs targeting IL1B, CXCL8, IL1A, and CSF2 showed that miR‐182‐5p was upregulated in T compared with PT, whereas miR‐10b‐5p was downregulated in T compared with PT and control tissues. Our results may contribute to the design of new experimental therapeutic strategies based on endogenous molecules, such as miRNAs, to target the genetic key players of the NF‐ κB pathway. 相似文献

Compelling evidence showed that both nucleotide‐binding oligomerization domain‐like receptor family, pyrin domain‐containing protein 3 (NLRP3) inflammasomes and the immunoproteasome participate in neuroinflammatory responses in cerebral ischaemia injury. Moreover, inhibition of either NLRP3 inflammasomes or the immunoproteasome attenuates both neuroinflammation and neurological deterioration during ischaemic stroke. However, the underlying mechanism between the immunoproteasome and NLRP3 inflammasomes under ischaemic stroke conditions remains to be established. In this study, using both in vitro and in vivo ischaemic models, we demonstrated that the immunoproteasome inhibition reduced the expressions of NLRP3 inflammasome‐associated proteins, including NLRP3, apoptosis‐associated speck‐like protein (ASC), caspase‐1 and mature cytokines (interleukin [IL]‐1β and IL‐18). It also downregulated the levels of nuclear factor (NF)‐κB and pyroptotic‐ and apoptotic‐related proteins, and improved cell viability. In addition, inhibition of NF‐κB by the small molecule inhibitor Bay‐11‐7082 led to lower levels of NLRP3 inflammasomes and cleaved caspase‐1 proteins in BV2 cells after oxygen‐glucose deprivation and reoxygenation. Together, these findings suggest that the immunoproteasome may be responsible for inducing the expression and activation of NLRP3 inflammasomes via the NF‐κB pathway. Therapeutic interventions that target activation of the immunoproteasome/NF‐κB/NLRP3 inflammasome pathway may provide novel prospects for the future treatment of ischaemic stroke. 相似文献
