Suppression of TNFalpha-mediated NFkappaB activity by myricetin and other flavonoids through downregulating the activity of IKK in ECV304 cells. 总被引:3,自引:0,他引:3
Flavonoids are a group of naturally-occurring phenolic compounds in the plant kingdom, and many flavonoids are found with vascular protective properties. Nevertheless how the protective response is exerted by flavonoids is not well characterized. In view of the nuclear factor-kappaB (NFkappaB) may play a central role in the initiation of atherosclerosis, prevention of the activation of NFkappaB represents an important role in protecting vascular injury. In this study, the effects of flavonoids on NFkappaB/inhibitor-kappaB (IkappaB) system in ECV304 cells activated with tumor necrosis factor-alpha (TNFalpha) were examined. We investigated the inhibitory action of six flavonoids on IkappaB kinase (IKK) activity, an enzyme recently found to phosphorylate critical serine residues of IkappaB for degradation. Of six flavonoids tested, myricetin was found to strongly inhibit IKK kinase activity, and prevent the degradation of IkappaBalpha and IkappaBbeta in activated endothelial cells. Furthermore, myricetin was also found to inhibit NFkappaB activity correlated with suppression of monocyte adhesion to ECV304 cells. Therefore we conclude that flavonoids may be of therapeutic value for vascular disease through down regulation of NFkappaB/IkappaB system. 相似文献

Tumor necrosis factor-alpha receptor 1 and Fas recruit overlapping signaling pathways. To clarify the differences between tumor necrosis factor alpha (TNFalpha) and Fas pathways in hepatocyte apoptosis, primary mouse hepatocytes were treated with TNFalpha or an agonist anti-Fas antibody after infection with an adenovirus expressing an IkappaB superrepressor (Ad5IkappaB). Treatment with TNFalpha induced apoptosis in Ad5IkappaB-infected mouse hepatocytes, as we previously reported for rat hepatocytes. Ad5IkappaB plus anti-Fas antibody or actinomycin D plus anti-Fas antibody rapidly induced apoptosis, whereas anti-Fas antibody alone produced little cytotoxicity. The proteasome inhibitor (MG-132) and a dominant-negative mutant of nuclear factor-kappaB-inducing kinase also promoted TNFalpha- and Fas-mediated apoptosis. Expression of either crmA or a dominant-negative mutant of the Fas-associated death domain protein prevented TNFalpha- and Fas-mediated apoptosis. In addition, the caspase inhibitors, DEVD-cho and IETD-fmk, inhibited TNFalpha- and Fas-mediated apoptosis. In Ad5IkappaB-infected hepatocytes, caspases-3 and -8 were activated within 2 h after treatment with anti-Fas antibody or within 6 h after TNFalpha treatment. Confocal microscopy demonstrated onset of the mitochondrial permeability transition (MPT) and mitochondrial depolarization by 2-3 h after anti-Fas antibody treatment and 8-10 h after TNFalpha treatment, followed by cytochrome c release. The combination of the MPT inhibitors, cyclosporin A, and trifluoperazine, protected Ad5IkappaB-infected hepatocytes from TNFalpha-mediated apoptosis. After anti-Fas antibody, cyclosporin A and trifluoperazine decreased cytochrome c release but did not prevent caspase-3 activation and cell-death. In conclusion, nuclear factor-kappaB activation protects mouse hepatocytes against both TNFalpha- and Fas-mediated apoptosis. TNFalpha and Fas recruit similar but nonidentical, pathways signaling apoptosis. The MPT is obligatory for TNFalpha-induced apoptosis. In Fas-mediated apoptosis, the MPT accelerates the apoptogenic events but is not obligatory for them. 相似文献

Hormonal and environmental factors that control the growth, differentiation, and regression of the vasculature are of fundamental importance in tumorigenesis and in the choice of therapeutic strategies. To test the hypothesis that estradiol (E2) and basement membrane proteins would affect the survival of vascular endothelial cells (EC), immortalized human umbilical vein endothelial cells (ECV304) were examined for their response to the chemotherapeutic drugs taxol and etoposide. ECV cell apoptosis was inhibited by E2 (taxol only) or attachment to extracellular matrix (ECM) (taxol or etoposide). E2 increased ECV growth, while ECM binding resulted in growth arrest and differentiation. Apoptosis was associated with decreased levels of Bcl-2 and p21 proteins. E2 prevented down-regulation of p21 and Bcl-2 induced by taxol but did not prevent the down-regulation of p21 induced by etoposide, consistent with the failure of E2 to inhibit etoposide-induced cell death. However, ECM prevented p21 and Bcl-2 down-regulation induced by taxol or etoposide. Persistent activation of NFkappaB occurred after attachment of ECV cells to ECM, suggesting a role in survival or differentiation. IkappaBalpha levels were not affected by taxol but were reduced by etoposide treatment, while IkappaBbeta levels did not change with drug treatment. E2 did not alter the levels of IkappaBalpha or IkappaBbeta. Interestingly, levels of IkappaBalpha and IkappaBbeta declined in etoposide-treated ECV cells on ECM concomitant with the elevation of NFkappaB, suggesting that in these cells degradation of IkappaB may be responsible for NFkappaB activation. In agreement with these data, anti-sense NFkappaB treatment of ECV cells inhibited differentiation on ECM, but did not affect cell survival. In conclusion, culture of ECV cells on ECM or treatment with E2 inhibited apoptosis. NFkappaB activation by ECM was necessary for cellular differentiation, rather than inhibition, of apoptosis. 相似文献

Par-4 is a novel protein identified in cells undergoing apoptosis. The ability of Par-4 to promote apoptotic cell death is dependent on the binding and inactivation of the atypical protein kinases C (PKCs). This subfamily of kinases has been reported to control nuclear factor kappaB (NF-kappaB) through the regulation of the IkappaB kinase activity. NF-kappaB activation by tumor necrosis factor alpha (TNFalpha) provides a survival signal that impairs the TNFalpha-induced apoptotic response. We show here that expression of Par-4 inhibits the TNFalpha-induced nuclear translocation of p65 as well as the kappaB-dependent promoter activity. Interestingly, Par-4 expression blocks inhibitory kappaB protein (IkappaB) kinase activity, which leads to the inhibition of IkappaB phosphorylation and degradation, in a manner that is dependent on its ability to inhibit lambda/iotaPKC. Of potential functional relevance, the expression of Par-4 allows TNFalpha to induce apoptosis in NIH-3T3 cells. In addition, the down-regulation of Par-4 levels by oncogenic Ras sensitizes cells to TNFalpha-induced NF-kappaB activation. 相似文献

Tumor necrosis factor and reactive oxygen species cooperative cytotoxicity is mediated via inhibition of NF-kappaB 总被引:3,自引:0,他引:3

BACKGROUND: Tumor necrosis factor alpha (TNFalpha) plays a key role in pathogenesis of brain injury. However, TNFalpha exhibits no cytotoxicity in primary cultures of brain cells. This discrepancy suggests that other pathogenic stimuli that exist in the setting of brain injury precipitate TNFalpha cytotoxicity. The hypothesis was tested that reactive oxygen species (ROS), that are released early after brain injury, act synergistically with TNFalpha in causing cell death. MATERIALS AND METHODS: Cultured human and rat brain capillary endothelial cells (RBEC), and cortical astrocytes were treated with TNFalpha alone or together with different doses of H2O2, and apoptotic cell death and DNA fragmentation were measured by means of 3'-OH-terminal deoxynucleotidyl transferase-mediated dUTP nick end labeling (TUNEL) and Hoechst fluorescence assay, respectively. The effect of H2O2 on TNFalpha-induced activation of nuclear factor kappa B (NF-kappaB) was measured by Western blots of cytoplasmic and nuclear extracts of RBEC using anti-inhibitor of NF-kappaB (IkappaB) and anti-p65 subunit of NF-kappaB antibodies. Nuclear translocation of NF-kappaB was investigated by immunofluorescent staining of RBEC with anti-p65 antibodies. RESULTS: TNFalpha alone had no cytotoxic effect in brain endothelial cells and astrocytes at concentrations up to 100 ng/ml. Co-treatment with 5-10 microM of H2O2 caused a two-fold increase in the number of apoptotic cells 24 hr later. Similar doses (1-3 microM) of H2O2 initiated early DNA fragmentation. H2O2 inhibited TNFalpha-induced accumulation of p65 in the nucleus, although it had no effect on degradation of the IkappaB in cytoplasm. Immunostaining confirmed that H2O2 inhibited p65 transport to the nucleus. CONCLUSIONS: Reactive oxygen species could act synergistically with TNFalpha in causing cytotoxicity via inhibition of a cytoprotective branch of TNFalpha signaling pathways, which starts with NF-kappaB activation. 相似文献

Aminosalicylic acid inhibits IkappaB kinase alpha phosphorylation of IkappaBalpha in mouse intestinal epithelial cells 总被引:6,自引:0,他引:6
Tumor necrosis factor alpha (TNFalpha)-stimulated nuclear factor (NF) kappaB activation plays a key role in the pathogenesis of inflammatory bowel disease (IBD). Phosphorylation of NFkappaB inhibitory protein (IkappaB) leading to its degradation and NFkappaB activation, is regulated by the multimeric IkappaB kinase complex, including IKKalpha and IKKbeta. We recently reported that 5-aminosalicylic acid (5-ASA) inhibits TNFalpha-regulated IkappaB degradation and NFkappaB activation. To determine the mechanism of 5-ASA inhibition of IkappaB degradation, we studied young adult mouse colon (YAMC) cells by immunodetection and in vitro kinase assays. We show 5-ASA inhibits TNFalpha-stimulated phosphorylation of IkappaBalpha in intact YAMC cells. Phosphorylation of a glutathione S-transferase-IkappaBalpha fusion protein by cellular extracts or immunoprecipitated IKKalpha isolated from cells treated with TNFalpha is inhibited by 5-ASA. Recombinant IKKalpha and IKKbeta autophosphorylation and their phosphorylation of glutathione S-transferase-IkappaBalpha are inhibited by 5-ASA. However, IKKalpha serine phosphorylation by its upstream kinase in either intact cells or cellular extracts is not blocked by 5-ASA. Surprisingly, immunodepletion of cellular extracts suggests IKKalpha is predominantly responsible for IkappaBalpha phosphorylation in intestinal epithelial cells. In summary, 5-ASA inhibits TNFalpha-stimulated IKKalpha kinase activity toward IkappaBalpha in intestinal epithelial cells. These findings suggest a novel role for 5-ASA in the management of IBD by disrupting TNFalpha activation of NFkappaB. 相似文献

A distinctive physiological role for IkappaBbeta in the propagation of mitochondrial respiratory stress signaling 总被引:1,自引:0,他引:1

The NFkappaBs regulate an array of physiological and pathological processes, including propagation of mitochondrial respiratory stress signaling in mammalian cells. We showed previously that mitochondrial stress activates NFkappaB using a novel calcineurin-requiring pathway that is different from canonical or non-canonical pathways. This study shows that IkappaBbeta is essential for the propagation of mitochondrial stress signaling. Knock down of IkappaBbeta, but not IkappaBalpha, mRNA reduced the mitochondrial stress-mediated activation and nuclear translocation of cRel:p50, inhibiting expression of nuclear target genes RyR1 and cathepsin L. IkappaBbeta mRNA knock down also reduced resistance to staurosporine-induced apoptosis and decreased in vitro invasiveness. Induced receptor switching to insulin-like growth factor-1 receptor and increased glucose uptake are hallmarks of mitochondrial stress. IkappaBbeta mRNA knock down selectively abrogated the receptor switch and altered tubulin cytoskeletal organization. These results show that mitochondrial stress signaling uses an IkappaBbeta-initiated NFkappaB pathway that is distinct from the other known NFkappaB pathways. Furthermore, our results demonstrate the distinctive physiological roles of the two inhibitory proteins IkappaBbeta and IkappaBalpha. 相似文献

NF-kappaB dimers, inhibitor IkappaB proteins, and NF-kappaB.IkappaB complexes exhibit distinct patterns in partitioning between nuclear and cytoplasmic cellular compartments. IkappaB-dependent modulation of NF-kappaB subcellular localization represents one of the more poorly understood processes in the NF-kappaB signaling pathway. In this study, we have combined in vitro biochemical and cell-based methods to elucidate differences in NF-kappaB regulation exhibited by the inhibitors IkappaBbeta and IkappaBalpha. We show that although both IkappaBalpha and IkappaBbeta bind to NF-kappaB with similar global architecture and stability, significant differences exist that contribute to their unique functional roles. IkappaBbeta derives its high affinity toward NF-kappaB dimers by binding to both NF-kappaB subunit nuclear localization signals. In contrast, IkappaBalpha contacts only one NF-kappaB NLS and employs its carboxyl-terminal proline, glutamic acid, serine, and threonine-rich region for high affinity NF-kappaB binding. We show that the presence of one free NLS in the NF-kappaB.IkappaBalpha complex renders it a dynamic nucleocytoplasmic complex, whereas NF-kappaB.IkappaBbeta complexes are localized to the cytoplasm of resting cells. 相似文献

Tumor necrosis factor alpha (TNFalpha) is a potent pleiotropic cytokine produced by many cells in response to inflammatory stress. The molecular mechanisms responsible for the multiple biological activities of TNFalpha are due to its ability to activate multiple signal transduction pathways, including nuclear factor kappaB (NFkappaB), which plays critical roles in cell proliferation and survival. TNFalpha displays both apoptotic and antiapoptotic properties, depending on the nature of the stimulus and the activation status of certain signaling pathways. Here we show that TNFalpha can lead to the induction of NFkappaB signaling with a concomitant increase in spermidine/spermine N(1)-acetyltransferase (SSAT) expression in A549 and H157 non-small cell lung cancer cells. Induction of SSAT, a stress-inducible gene that encodes a rate-limiting polyamine catabolic enzyme, leads to lower intracellular polyamine contents and has been associated with decreased cell growth and increased apoptosis. Stable overexpression of a mutant, dominant negative IkappaBalpha protein led to the suppression of SSAT induction by TNFalpha in these cells, thereby substantiating a role of NFkappaB in the induction of SSAT by TNFalpha. SSAT promoter deletion constructs led to the identification of three potential NFkappaB response elements in the SSAT gene. Electromobility shift assays, chromatin immunoprecipitation experiments and mutational studies confirmed that two of the three NFkappaB response elements play an important role in the regulation of SSAT in response to TNFalpha. The results of these studies indicate that a common mediator of inflammation can lead to the induction of SSAT expression by activating the NFkappaB signaling pathway in non-small cell lung cancer cells. 相似文献
