We showed previously that calcineurin B subunit (CnB) could inhibit S180 solid tumor growth in mice and prolong the survival of mice bearing H22 ascites tumors, but the underlying antitumor mechanism remained unclear. Here, we report that the calcineurin B subunit binds to CD11b on RAW264.7 macrophages and induces TRAIL expression and NF-κB activation in a dose and time dependent manner, and that CnB-induced TRAIL expression and NF-κB activation are both dependent on this CD11b. Furthermore, CnB-induced TRAIL expression is mediated by NF-κB. These findings reveal a novel signaling pathway (CnB-CD11b-NF-κB-TRAIL) regulating TRAIL expression and may help to understand the roles of the calcineurin B subunit in the regulation of innate immunity. 相似文献

The effects of γ-irradiation on inflammatory gene expression, including NF-κB activation, in the kidney of C57/BL6 mice exposed to 1–9 Gy doses of 60Co γ-irradiation. Radiation enhanced the NF-κB activation and oxidative stress caused a dose-dependent disruption in the redox balance. The significance of this study is the new molecular information gained on γ-irradiation effects through the activation of pro-inflammatory genes by NF-κB via the MAPK signaling pathway. Considering the exquisite sensitivity of NF-κB and other pro-inflammatory mediators to the redox status, we conclude that the activation of inflammatory processes by irradiation is likely initiated by increased oxidative stress. 相似文献

NLRC5, the largest member of the Nod-like receptor (NLR) family, has been reported to play a pivotal role in regulating inflammatory responses. Recent evidence suggests that NLRC5 participates in Toll-like receptor (TLR) signaling pathways and negatively modulates nuclear factor-κB (NF-κB) activation. In this study, we investigated the interaction between NLRC5 and TLR2 in the NF-κB inflammatory signaling pathway and the involvement of NLRC5 in TLR2-mediated allergic airway inflammation. We knocked down TLR2 and NLRC5, respectively in the RAW264.7 macrophage cell line by small interfering RNA (siRNA) and then stimulated the knockdown cells with lipoteichoic acid (LTA). In comparison with the negative siRNA group, the level of NLRC5 expression was lower in the TLR2 siRNA group, with a reduction in the NF-κB-related inflammatory response. Conversely, in the NLRC5 knockdown cells, after LTA-treated the level of TLR2 expression did not change but the expression levels of both NF-κB pp65 and NLRP3 increased remarkably. Thus, we hypothesize that NLRC5 participates in the LTA-induced inflammatory signaling pathway and regulates the inflammation via TLR2/NF-κB. Similarly, in subsequent in vivo experiments, we demonstrated that the expression level of NLRC5 was significantly increased in the ovalbumin-induced allergic airway inflammation. However, this effect disappeared in TLR2-deficient (TLR2 −/−) mice and was accompanied by reduced levels of NF-κB expression and airway inflammation. In conclusion, NLRC5 negatively regulates LTA-induced inflammatory response via a TLR2/NF-κB pathway in macrophages and also participates in TLR2-mediated allergic airway inflammation. 相似文献

The calcineurin (CN) B subunit (CNB) is the regulatory subunit of CN, which is the only serine/threonine-specific protein phosphatase regulated by Ca2+/CaM. It has been shown to have potential as an anticancer agent, and has a positive effect on the phagocytic index and coefficient. We report here that CNB binds to proteasome subunit alpha type 7 (PSMA7) and inhibits the transactivation activity of hypoxia-inducible factor-1α (HIF-1α) via the proteasome pathway. In addition, we show that CNB represses the expression of vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF), which is regulated by HIF-1α. These results indicate that CNB modulates cellular proteasome activity via a specific interaction with PSMA7. This may provide a molecular basis for its anticancer and antiviral activities. 相似文献

Intermedilysin (ILY) is a cholesterol-dependent cytolysin produced by Streptococcus intermedius, which is associated with human brain and liver abscesses. Although intrahepatic bile duct cells play a valuable role in the pathogenesis of liver abscess, the molecular mechanism of ILY-treated intrahepatic bile duct cells remains unknown. In this study, we report that ILY induced a nuclear accumulation of intracellular calcium ([Ca2+]i) in human cholangiocellular cells HuCCT1. We also demonstrate that 10 ng/ml ILY induced NFAT1 dephosphorylation and its nuclear translocation in HuCCT1 cells. In contrast to the result that ILY induced NF-κB translocation in human hepatic HepG2 cells, ILY did not affect NF-κB localization in HuCCT1 cells. Dephosphorylation and nuclear translocation of NFAT1 caused by ILY were prevented by [Ca2+]i calcium chelator, BAPTA/AM, and calcineurin inhibitors, cyclosporine A and tacrolimus. ILY induced early growth response-1 (EGR-1) expression and it was inhibited by the pre-treatment with cyclosporine A, indicating that the calcineurin/NFAT pathway was involved in EGR-1 expression in response to ILY. ILY-induced calcineurin/NFAT1 activation and sequential EGR-1 expression might be related to the pathogenesis of S. intermedius in human bile duct cells. 相似文献

Cutaneous T-cell lymphoma (CTCL) is characterized by constitutive activation of nuclear factor κB (NF-κB), which plays a crucial role in the survival of CTCL cells and their resistance to apoptosis. NF-κB activity in CTCL is inhibited by the proteasome inhibitor bortezomib; however, the mechanisms remained unknown. In this study, we investigated mechanisms by which bortezomib suppresses NF-κB activity in CTCL Hut-78 cells. We demonstrate that bortezomib and MG132 suppress NF-κB activity in Hut-78 cells by a novel mechanism that consists of inducing nuclear translocation and accumulation of IκBα (nuclear factor of kappa light polypeptide gene enhancer in B-cells inhibitor, alpha), which then associates with NF-κB p65 and p50 in the nucleus and inhibits NF-κB DNA binding activity. Surprisingly, however, while expression of NF-κB-dependent antiapoptotic genes cIAP1 and cIAP2 is inhibited by bortezomib, expression of Bcl-2 is not suppressed. Chromatin immunoprecipitation indicated that cIAP1 and cIAP2 promoters are occupied by NF-κB p65/50 heterodimers, whereas Bcl-2 promoter is occupied predominantly by p50/50 homodimers. Collectively, our data reveal a novel mechanism of bortezomib function in CTCL and suggest that the inhibition of NF-κB-dependent gene expression by bortezomib is gene specific and depends on the subunit composition of NF-κB dimers recruited to NF-κB-responsive promoters. 相似文献

Evidence indicates that inflammatory response is significant during the physiological process of human parturition; however, the specific signaling pathway that triggers inflammation is undefined. Toll-like receptors (TLRs) are key upstream gatekeepers that control inflammatory activation before preterm delivery. Our previous study showed that TLR4 expression was significantly increased in human pregnancy tissue during preterm and term labor. Therefore, we explore whether TLR4 plays a role in term labor by initiating inflammatory responses, therefore promoting uterine activation. The results showed that expression of TLR4, interleukin-1β (IL-1β), IL-6, tumor necrosis factor-α (TNF-α), CC chemokine ligand 2 (CCL-2), and uterine contraction-associated proteins (CAPs) was upregulated in the human and mice term labor (TL) group compared with the not-in-labor (TNL) group, and the TLR4 level positively correlated with CAP expression. In pregnant TLR4-knockout (TLR4−/−) mice, gestation length was extended by 8 hr compared with the wild-type group, and the expression of IL-1β, IL-6, TNF-α, CCL-2, and CAPs was decreased in TLR4−/− mice. Furthermore, nuclear factor-κB (NF-κB) and P38MAPK activation is involved in the initiation of labor but was inhibited in TLR4−/− mice. In uterine smooth muscle cells, the expression of inflammatory cytokines and CAPs decreased when the NF-κB and P38MAPK pathway was inhibited. Our data suggest that TLR4 is a key factor in regulating the inflammatory response that drives uterine activation and delivery initiation via activating the NF-κB/P38MAPK pathway. 相似文献

The aim of this study is to investigate the role of proteasome in the pathogenesis of lung injury induced by intestinal ischemia/reperfusion (I/R) by examining the effect of the proteasome inhibitor lactacystin on neutrophil infiltration, intracellular adhesion molecule-1 (ICAM-1) expression and nuclear factor kappa B (NF-κB) activation. Thirty-two Wistar rats were divided into (1) control, (2) intestinal I/R, (3) 0.2 mg/kg lactacystin pretreated, and (4) 0.6 mg/kg lactacystin pretreated groups (n = 8). Injuries in lung and intestine were induced by intestinal I/R, and were characterized by histological edema, hemorrhage and infiltration of inflammatory cells. The results showed a significant increase in serum creatine kinase B (CK-B) and lung water content in intestine and lung injuries. As compared with the control group, the myeloperoxidase (MPO) activity in intestine and lung as well as the serum TNF-α level increased significantly in intestinal I/R group. Simultaneously, expression of ICAM-1 and NF-κB p65 was also observed in the I/R group. Pre-treatment with lactacystin markedly reduced 20S proteasome activity in circulating white blood cells and ameliorated intestine and lung injuries. These results demonstrated that the proteasome participates in the pathogenesis of lung injury induced by intestinal I/R. Lactacystin as a proteasome inhibitor can prevent this kind of injury by decreasing ICAM-1 and TNF-α production via the inhibition of NF-κB activation. 相似文献

As we had found previously that thapsigargin, an endomembrane Ca2+-ATPase inhibitor, induces production of intracellular platelet-activating factor (PAF) [Br. J. Pharmacol. 116 (1995) 2141], we decided to investigate the possible roles of intracellular PAF in nuclear factor (NF)-κB activation of thapsigargin-stimulated rat peritoneal macrophages. When rat peritoneal macrophages were stimulated with thapsigargin, the level of inhibitory protein of NF-κB-α (IκB-α) was decreased and the nuclear translocation of NF-κB was increased. The thapsigargin-induced activation of NF-κB was inhibited by the PAF synthesis inhibitor SK&F 98625 and the PAF antagonist E6123. Structurally unrelated PAF antagonists such as E5880 and L-652,731 also inhibited the thapsigargin-induced activation of NF-κB. Lipopolysaccharide (LPS)-induced activation of NF-κB was also suppressed by these drugs. In a culture of rat peritoneal macrophages, exogenously added PAF did not induce degradation of IκB-α. These findings suggest that the intracellular PAF produced by the stimulation with thapsigargin or LPS is involved in activation of the NF-κB pathway. 相似文献

The present study evaluated the protective effect of the natural compound flavonoids of Rosa roxburghii Tratt (FRT) against γ-radiation-induced apoptosis and inflammation in mouse thymus cells in vivo and in vitro. Thymus cells and mice were exposed to 60Co γ-ray at a dose of 6 Gy. The radiation treatment induced significant cell apoptosis and inflammation. Radiation increased the expressions of cleaved caspase 3/8–10, AIF, and PARP-1, and FRT could mitigate their activation and inhibit subsequent apoptosis in the thymus both in vitro or in vivo. Irradiation increased the mRNA expression of ICAM-1/VCAM-1, IL-1α/IL-6 and TNF-α/NF-κB. Our results also indicated that FRT alleviated gene expression of some inflammatory factors such as ICAM-1/VCAM-1, TNF-α/NF-κB, but not IL-1α/IL-6. Irradiation increased the protein expression levels of ICAM-1/VCAM-1, IL-1α/IL-6 and TNF-α/NF-Κb, and our results also indicated that FRT alleviated protein level expression of certain inflammatory factors such as ICAM-1, IL-1α/IL-6, TNF-α/NF-κB, but not VCAM-1. Our results suggested that FRT enhanced radioprotection at least partially by regulating caspase 3/8–10, AIF, and PARP-1 to reduce apoptosis and by regulating ICAM-1, IL-1α/IL-6, TNF-α/NF-κB to reduce inflammation. 相似文献

The precise mechanism(s) by which intracellular TOLL-like receptors (TLRs) become activated by their ligands remains unclear. Here, we report a molecular organizational G-protein coupled receptor (GPCR) signaling platform to potentiate a novel mammalian neuraminidase-1 (Neu1) and matrix metalloproteinase-9 (MMP-9) cross-talk in alliance with neuromedin B GPCR, all of which form a tripartite complex with TLR-7 and -9. siRNA silencing Neu1, MMP-9 and neuromedin-B GPCR in RAW-blue macrophage cells significantly reduced TLR7 imiquimod- and TLR9 ODN1826-induced NF-κB (NF-κB-pSer536) activity. Tamiflu, specific MMP-9 inhibitor, neuromedin B receptor specific antagonist BIM23127, and the selective inhibitor of whole heterotrimeric G-protein complex BIM-46174 significantly block nucleic acid-induced TLR-7 and -9 MyD88 recruitment, NF-κB activation and proinflammatory TNFα and MCP-1 cytokine responses. For the first time, Neu1 clearly plays a central role in mediating nucleic acid-induced intracellular TLR activation, and the interactions involving NMBR–MMP9–Neu1 cross-talk constitute a novel intracellular TLR signaling platform that is essential for NF-κB activation and pro-inflammatory responses. 相似文献
