Tumor necrosis factor (TNF)-alpha is a key molecule in lung inflammation. We have established the insulin-like growth factor binding protein 2 (IGFBP-2) as a marker associated with the growth arrest of lung alveolar epithelial cells (AEC). Here, we studied the effects of TNF-alpha on AEC proliferation and the putative protective role of retinoic acid (RA). We documented an antiproliferative action of TNF-alpha that was reversible only at 24 h and then became irreversible with induction of apoptosis. TNF-alpha treatment was associated with a dramatic induction of IGFBP-2. To discover the mechanism of action of IGFBP-2, we further tested the mitogenic potential of IGF-I to counteract TNF-alpha inhibition. Addition of IGF-I to the TNF-alpha containing medium did not stimulate proliferation, whereas des(1-3)IGF-I, an analog of IGF-I that bears low affinity for IGFBPs, was able to restore cell growth. Interestingly, we observed that RA abrogated TNF-alpha-induced growth arrest and that this effect was associated with a dramatic decrease in IGFBP-2 expression. These results suggest a protective role of RA from TNF-alpha antiproliferative action, through mechanisms involving modulation of IGFBP-2 production. 相似文献

Polyamine depletion prevents apoptosis by increasing serine/threonine phosphorylation leading to either inactivation or activation of pro- and anti-apoptotic proteins, respectively. Despite evidence that protein kinases are regulators of apoptosis, a specific role for protein phosphatases in regulating cell survival has not been established. In this study, we show that polyamine depletion inhibits serine/threonine phosphatase 2A (PP2A). Inhibition of PP2A in cells depleted of polyamines correlated well with increased phosphorylation of Bad at Ser112. Bad Ser112 phosphorylation in response to tumor necrosis factor (TNF)-alpha treatment decreased with time in cells grown in control as well as those grown in the presence of alpha-difluoromethylornithine plus putrescine. However, a sustained increase in the levels of Bad Ser112 phosphorylation was maintained in response to TNF-alpha treatment in cells grown in the presence of alpha-difluoromethylornithine. Inhibition of PP2A by okadaic acid and fostriecin or PP2A small interfering RNA transfection significantly decreased TNF-alpha-induced apoptosis in control and polyamine-depleted cells. Inhibition of PP2A by okadaic acid: 1) increased Bad and Bcl-2 phosphorylation at Ser112 and Ser70, respectively; 2) increased ERK activity; 3) prevented JNK activation; 4) prevented cytochrome c release, and activation of caspases-9 and -3 in response to TNF-alpha. Inhibition of MEK1 by U0126 prevented phosphorylation of Bad at Ser112. These results indicate that polyamines regulate PP2A activity, and inhibition of PP2A in response to polyamine depletion increases steady state levels of Bad and Bcl-2 proteins and their phosphorylation and thereby prevents cytochrome c release, caspase-9, and caspase-3 activation. 相似文献

TRAF2 is an adaptor protein that regulates the activation of the c-Jun N-terminal kinase (JNK) and IkappaB kinase (IKK) signaling cascades in response to tumor necrosis factor alpha (TNF-alpha) stimulation. Although the downstream events in TNF-alpha signaling are better understood, the membrane-proximal events are still elusive. Here, we demonstrate that TNF-alpha and cellular stresses induce TRAF2 phosphorylation at serine 11 and that this phosphorylation is required for the expression of a subset of NF-kappaB target genes. Although TRAF2 phosphorylation had a minimal effect on the TNF-alpha-induced rapid and transient IKK activation, it was essential for secondary and prolonged IKK activation. Consistent with this, TRAF2 phosphorylation is not required for its recruitment to the TNFR1 complex in response to TNF-alpha stimulation but is required for its association with a cytoplasmic complex containing RIP1 and IKK. In addition, TRAF2 phosphorylation was essential for the full TNF-alpha-induced activation of JNK. Notably, TRAF2 phosphorylation increased both basal and inducible c-Jun and NF-kappaB activities and rendered cells resistant to stress-induced apoptosis. Moreover, TRAF2 was found to be constitutively phosphorylated in some lymphomas. These results unveil a new, finely tuned mechanism for TNF-alpha-induced IKK activation modulated by TRAF2 phosphorylation and suggest that TRAF2 phosphorylation contributes to elevated levels of basal NF-kappaB activity in certain human cancers. 相似文献

Numerous recent reports suggest that statins (hydroxy-3-methylglutaryl-CoA reductase inhibitors) exhibit potential to suppress tumorigenesis through a mechanism that is not fully understood. Therefore, in this article, we investigated the effects of simvastatin on TNF-alpha-induced cell signaling. We found that simvastatin potentiated the apoptosis induced by TNF-alpha as indicated by intracellular esterase activity, caspase activation, TUNEL, and annexin V staining. This effect of simvastatin correlated with down-regulation of various gene products that mediate cell proliferation (cyclin D1 and cyclooxygenase-2), cell survival (Bcl-2, Bcl-x(L), cellular FLIP, inhibitor of apoptosis protein 1, inhibitor of apoptosis protein 2, and survivin), invasion (matrix mellatoproteinase-9 and ICAM-1), and angiogenesis (vascular endothelial growth factor); all known to be regulated by the NF-kappaB. We found that simvastatin inhibited TNF-alpha-induced NF-kappaB activation, and l-mevalonate reversed the suppressive effect, indicating the role of hydroxy-3-methylglutaryl-CoA reductase. Simvastatin suppressed not only the inducible but also the constitutive NF-kappaB activation. Simvastatin inhibited TNF-alpha-induced IkappaBalpha kinase activation, which led to inhibition of IkappaBalpha phosphorylation and degradation, suppression of p65 phosphorylation, and translocation to the nucleus. NF-kappaB-dependent reporter gene expression induced by TNF-alpha, TNFR1, TNFR-associated death domain protein, TNFR-associated factor 2, TGF-beta-activated kinase 1, receptor-interacting protein, NF-kappaB-inducing kinase, and IkappaB kinase beta was abolished by simvastatin. Overall, our results provide novel insight into the role of simvastatin in potentially preventing and treating cancer through modulation of IkappaB kinase and NF-kappaB-regulated gene products. 相似文献

Transforming growth factor beta (TGF-beta) is a multifunctional cytokine capable of regulating diverse cellular processes. In this study we investigated the effect of autocrine TGF-beta signaling on tumor necrosis factor (TNF) alpha-induced cell death. We abrogated the TGF-beta autocrine loop by overexpression of a truncated TGF-beta type II receptor in MCF-7 breast carcinoma cells and found that this generated resistance to TNF-alpha-induced cytotoxicity. To elucidate the molecular basis of the influence of TGF-beta on TNF-alpha-induced cytotoxicity, we evaluated the expression levels or activities of proteins involved in TNF-alpha signal transduction or the regulation of apoptosis in general in TGF-beta-responsive and TGF-beta-nonresponsive MCF-7 cells. We observed no significant difference in the expression of TNF-alpha receptors or the TNF receptor-associated death domain protein. In addition, downstream activation of nuclear factor kappaB by TNF-alpha was not altered in cells that had lost TGF-beta responsiveness. Analysis of members of the Bcl-2 family of apoptosis-regulatory proteins revealed that Bcl-X(L) and Bax expression levels were not changed by disruption of TGF-beta signaling. In contrast, the TGF-beta-nonresponsive cells expressed much higher levels of Bcl-2 protein and mRNA than did cells with an intact TGF-beta autocrine loop. Furthermore, restoration of a TGF-beta signal to MCF-7 cells that had spontaneously acquired resistance to TGF-beta caused a reduction in Bcl-2 protein expression. Taken together, our data indicate that loss of autocrine TGF-beta signaling results in enhanced resistance to TNF-alpha-mediated cell death and that this is likely to be mediated by derepression of Bcl-2 expression. 相似文献

Crocus sativus L. is used in Chinese traditional medicine to treat some disorders of the central nervous system. Crocin is an ethanol-extractable component of Crocus sativus L.; it is reported to prevent ethanol-induced impairment of learning and memory in mice. In this study, we demonstrate that crocin suppresses the effect of tumor necrosis factor (TNF)-alpha on neuronally differentiated PC-12 cells. PC-12 cells dead from exposure to TNF-alpha show apoptotic morphological changes and DNA fragmentation. These hallmark features of cell death did not appear in cells treated in the co-presence of 10 microM crocin. Moreover, crocin suppressed the TNF-alpha-induced expression of Bcl-Xs and LICE mRNAs and simultaneously restored the cytokine-induced reduction of Bcl-X(L) mRNA expression. The modulating effects of crocin on the expression of Bcl-2 family proteins led to a marked reduction of a TNF-alpha-induced release of cytochrome c from the mitochondria. Crocin also blocked the cytochrome c-induced activation of caspase-3. To learn how crocin exhibits these anti-apoptotic actions in PC-12 cells, we tested the effect of crocin on PC-12 cell death induced by daunorubicin. We found that crocin inhibited the effect of daunorubicin as well. Our findings suggest that crocin inhibits neuronal cell death induced by both internal and external apoptotic stimuli. 相似文献

Both insulin-like growth factor binding protein-3 (IGFBP-3) and transforming growth factor-beta (TGF-beta) have been separately shown to have cell-specific growth-inhibiting or growth-potentiating effects. TGF-beta stimulates IGFBP-3 mRNA and peptide expression in several cell types, and TGF-beta-induced growth inhibition and apoptosis have been shown to be mediated through the induction of IGFBP-3. However, a link between the growth stimulatory effects of TGF-beta and IGFBP-3-induction has not been shown. In this study, we investigated the role of IGFBP-3 in mediating TGF-beta1-induced cell growth using human airway smooth muscle (ASM) cells as our model. TGF-beta1 (1 ng/ml) treatment induced a 10- to 20-fold increase in the levels of expression of IGFBP-3 mRNA and protein. Addition of either IGFBP-3 or TGF-beta1 to the growth medium resulted in an approximately twofold increase in cell proliferation. Coincubation of ASM cells with IGFBP-3 antisense (but not sense) oligomers as well as with an IGFBP-3 neutralizing antibody (but not with control IgG) blocked the growth induced by TGF-beta1 (P < 0.001). Several IGFBP-3-associated proteins were observed in ASM cell lysates, which may have a role in the cellular responses to IGFBP-3. These findings demonstrate that IGFBP-3 is capable of mediating the growth stimulatory effect of TGF-beta in ASM cells. 相似文献

Tumour necrosis factor alpha (TNF-alpha) at 20 ng/ml induced apoptosis in human hepatoma cells in vitro. The effect of TNF-alpha-induced apoptosis was exacerbated by the hypoxanthine-xanthine oxidase (HX/XO) system and cycloheximide (CHX), but alleviated by superoxide dismutase (SOD), suggesting that TNF-alpha-induced apoptosis may be due to oxidative stress, and independent of protein synthesis. TNF-alpha elevated free Ca(2+)concentration, triggered lipid peroxidation and decreased the expression of bcl-2 protein. The findings suggest that TNF-alpha-induced apoptosis may be involved in stimulating Ca(2+)-dependent endonuclease activity and increasing membrane lipid peroxidation. Bcl-2 may play a pivotal role in serving as a Ca(2+)regulator or antioxidant, preventing lipid peroxidation in the process. 相似文献

Progression of prostate cancer is facilitated by growth factors that activate critical signaling cascades thereby promote prostate cancer cell growth, survival, and migration. To investigate the effect of quercetin on insulin-like growth factor signaling and apoptosis in androgen independent prostate cancer cells (PC-3), IGF-IR, PI-3K, p-Akt, Akt, cyclin D1, Bad, cytochrome c, PARP, caspases-9 and 10 protein levels were assessed by western blot analysis. Mitochondrial membrane potency was detected by rhodamine-123 staining. Quercetin induced caspase-3 activity assay was performed for activation of apoptosis. Further, RT-PCR was also performed for Bad, IGF-I, II, IR, and IGFBP-3 mRNA expression. Quercetin significantly increases the proapoptotic mRNA levels of Bad, IGFBP-3 and protein levels of Bad, cytochrome C, cleaved caspase-9, caspase-10, cleaved PARP and caspase-3 activity in PC-3 cells. IGF-IRβ, PI3K, p-Akt, and cyclin D1 protein expression and mRNA levels of IGF-I, II and IGF-IR were decreased significantly. Further, treatment with PI3K inhibitor (LY294002) and quercetin showed decreased p-Akt levels. Apoptosis is confirmed by loss of mitochondrial membrane potential in quercetin treated PC-3 cells. This study suggests that quercetin decreases the survival of androgen independent prostate cancer cells by modulating the expression of insulin-like growth factors (IGF) system components, signaling molecules and induces apoptosis, which could be very useful for the androgen independent prostate cancer treatment. 相似文献

Endothelial cells play a vital role in the maintenance of cardiovascular homeostasis. Epoxyeicosatrienoic acids (EETs), cytochrome P-450 (CYP) epoxygenase metabolites of arachidonic acid in endothelial cells, possess potent and diverse biological effects within the vasculature. We evaluated the effects of overexpression of CYP epoxygenases on tumor necrosis factor-alpha (TNF-alpha)-induced apoptosis in bovine aortic endothelial cells. CYP epoxygenase overexpression significantly increased endothelial cell viability and inhibited TNF-alpha induction of endothelial cell apoptosis as evaluated by morphological analysis of nuclear condensation, DNA laddering, and fluorescent-activated cell sorting (FACS) analysis. CYP epoxygenase overexpression also significantly inhibited caspase-3 activity and downregulation of Bcl-2 expression induced by TNF-alpha. The antiapoptotic effects of CYP epoxygenase overexpression were significantly attenuated by inhibition of the phosphatidylinositol 3-kinase (PI3K)/Akt and MAPK signaling pathways; however, inhibition of endothelial nitric oxide synthase activity had no effect. Furthermore, CYP epoxygenase overexpression significantly attenuated the extent of TNF-alpha-induced ERK1/2 dephosphorylation in a time-dependent manner and significantly increased PI3K expression and Akt phosphorylation in both the presence and absence of TNF-alpha. Collectively, these results suggest that CYP epoxygenase overexpression, which is known to increase EET biosynthesis, significantly protects endothelial cells from apoptosis induced by TNF-alpha. This effect is mediated, at least in part, through inhibition of ERK dephosphorylation and activation of PI3K/Akt signaling. 相似文献

The addition of tumor necrosis factor (TNF)-alpha into the cultured porcine kidney LLC-PK1 cells caused apoptosis concomitantly with caspase-3 activation and the inductions of an endogenous Bcl-2 protein. An SDS-polyacrylamide electrophoretic analysis revealed that a 37-kDa protein in a nuclear fraction was increased during TNF-alpha-induced apoptosis. Partial amino acid sequence of the protein was A-L-T-G-H-L-E-E-V, perfectly matching that of annexin I. Immunocytochemistry revealed that annexin I migrated to the nucleus and/or peri-nucleus region upon exposure to TNF-alpha. Overexpression of Bcl-2 proteins inhibited the nuclear localization of annexin I during TNF-alpha-induced apoptosis. Antisense oligodeoxynucleotides complementary to annexin I-inhibited TUNEL (terminal deoxynucleotidyl transferase (TdT)-mediated dUTP nick end-labelling) staining in TNF-alpha-treated cells, suggesting that annexin I expression is a possible prerequisite for the induction of apoptosis by the cytokine. Thus, it is first time to show that annexin I is regulated by an anti-apoptotic Bcl-2 protein in TNF-alpha-induced renal apoptotic events. 相似文献

The present study investigated the effects of flupirtine (Katadolon) on tumor necrosis factor (TNF)-alpha-mediated cell death and Bcl-2 expression in the permanent rat oligodendrocyte cell line OLN-93 (OLN cells). TNF-alpha (500 U/ml) induced apoptosis of OLN cells, which was confirmed by DNA fragmentation using an in situ end-labeling technique and ultrastructural analysis. Flupirtine significantly reduced the rate of spontaneous cell death of OLN cells already at low concentrations; TNF-alpha-mediated apoptosis was suppressed only with higher concentrations of flupirtine (100 microM:). Expression of Bcl-2 protein and mRNA in OLN cells was detected by immunocytochemistry, western blot, and RT-PCR. Quantitative analysis of western blots revealed an approximately 2. 5-fold up-regulation of Bcl-2 protein during TNF-alpha treatment. Furthermore, addition of 10 or 100 microM: flupirtine before incubation with TNF-alpha led to an approximately threefold increase of Bcl-2 expression. Exposure of OLN cells to flupirtine alone moderately augmented the expression of Bcl-2 protein. Our data demonstrate that flupirtine up-regulates the expression of Bcl-2 protein in OLN cells; this Bcl-2 induction is associated with a reduced rate of TNF-alpha-induced cell death. 相似文献

The insulin-like growth factor (IGF) system is linked to CNS pathological states. The functions of IGFs are modulated by a family of binding proteins termed insulin-like growth factor binding proteins (IGFBPs). Here, we demonstrate that IGFBP-6 may be associated with neuronal apoptosis in the processes of intracerebral hemorrhage (ICH). We obtained a significant upregulation of IGFBP-6 in neurons adjacent to the hematoma following ICH with the results of Western blot, immunohistochemistry, and immunofluorescence. Increasing IGFBP-6 level was found to be accompanied by the upregulation of Bax, Bcl-2, and active caspase-3. Besides, IGFBP-6 co-localized well with active caspase-3 in neurons, indicating its potential role in neuronal apoptosis. Knocking down IGFBP-6 by RNA-interference in PC12 cells reduced active caspase-3 expression. Thus, IGFBP-6 may play a role in promoting the brain secondary damage following ICH. 相似文献

Although X-linked inhibitor of apoptosis protein (XIAP) is an important intracellular suppressor of apoptosis in a variety of cell types, its role in cytokine-induced pancreatic beta-cell apoptosis remains unclear. Here, we found that: (i) XIAP level was inversely correlated with tumor necrosis factor (TNF)-alpha-induced apoptosis in MIN6N8 insulinoma cells; (ii) adenoviral XIAP overexpression abrogated the TNF-alpha-induced apoptosis through inhibition of caspase activity; (iii) downregulation of XIAP by antisense oligonucleotide or Smac peptide sensitized MIN6N8 cells to TNF-alpha-induced apoptosis; (iv) XIAP expression was induced by TNF-alpha through a nuclear factor-kappaB (NF-kappaB)-dependent pathway, and interferon (IFN)-gamma prevented such an induction in a manner independent of NF-kappaB, which presents a potential mechanism underlying cytotoxic IFN-gamma/TNF-alpha synergism. Taken together, our results suggest that XIAP is an important modulator of TNF-alpha-induced apoptosis of MIN6N8 cells, and XIAP regulation in pancreatic beta-cells might play an important role in pancreatic beta-cell apoptosis and in the pathogenesis of type 1 diabetes. 相似文献

IGF-I receptor activation and BCL-2 overexpression prevent early apoptotic events in human neuroblastoma 总被引:3,自引:0,他引:3
The type I insulin-like growth factor receptor (IGF-IR) is important for mitogenesis, transformation, and survival of tumor cells. The current study examines the effect of IGF-IR expression and activation on apoptosis in SHEP human neuroblastoma cells. SHEP cells undergo apoptosis which is prevented by IGF-I addition or overexpression of the IGF-IR (SHEP/IGF-IR cells). High mannitol treatment activates caspase-3 by 1 h in SHEP cells while caspase-3 activation is delayed by 3 h in SHEP/IGF-IR cells. Transfection with Bcl-2 (SHEP/Bcl-2 cells) prevents serum withdrawal and mannitol induced apoptosis and caspase-3 activation. Mannitol induces mitochondrial membrane depolarization in both SHEP and SHEP/IGF-IR cells. IGF-IR activation or overexpression of Bcl-2 in SHEP cells prevents mitochondrial membrane depolarization. Collectively, these results suggest that IGF-IR or Bcl-2 overexpression in neuroblastoma cells promotes cell survival by preventing mitochondrial membrane depolarization and caspase-3 activation, ultimately leading to increased tumor growth. 相似文献

Proteolytic modification of insulin-like growth factor binding proteins (IGFBPs) plays an important physiological role in regulating insulin-like growth factor (IGF) bioavailability. Recently, we demonstrated that matrix metalloproteinase-7 (MMP-7)/Matrilysin produced by various cancer cells catalyzes the proteolysis of IGFBP-3 in vitro and regulates IGF bioavailability, resulting in an anti-apoptotic effect against anchorage-independent culture. In the present study, we investigated whether MMP-7 contributes to proteolysis of the other five IGFBPs, IGFBP-1, IGFBP-2, IGFBP-4, IGFBP-5, and IGFBP-6, and whether this results in phosphorylation of the IGF type 1 receptor (IGF-1R). MMP-7 cleaved all six IGFBPs, resulting in IGF-mediated IGF-1R phosphorylation, which was inhibited by EDTA treatment. These results suggest that MMP-7 derived from cancer cells can regulate IGF bioavailability in the microenvironment surrounding the tumor, where various kinds of IGF/IGFBP complexes are found, thereby favoring cancer cell growth and survival during the processes of invasion and metastasis. 相似文献

The adenovirus (Ad) 14.7-kDa E3 protein (E3-14.7K), which can inhibit tumor necrosis factor alpha (TNF-alpha) cytolysis, was used to screen HeLa cell cDNA libraries for interacting proteins in the yeast two-hybrid system. A new member of the low-molecular-weight (LMW) GTP-binding protein family with Ras and ADP-ribosylation factor homology was discovered by this selection and has been named FIP-1 (14.7K-interacting protein). FIP-1 colocalized with Ad E3-14.7K in the cytoplasm especially near the nuclear membrane and in discrete foci on or near the plasma membrane. Its interaction with E3-14.7K was dependent on the FIP-1 GTP-binding domain. The stable expression of FIP-1 antisense message partially protected the cells from TNF-alpha cytolysis. FIP-1 was associated transiently with several unknown phosphorylated cellular proteins within 15 min after treatment with TNF-alpha. FIP-1 mRNA was expressed ubiquitously but at higher levels in human skeletal muscle, heart, and brain. In addition to homology to other LMW GTP-binding proteins, FIP-1 has regions of homology to two prokaryotic metalloproteases. However, there was no homology between FIP-1 and any of the recently isolated death proteins in the TNF-alpha or Fas/APO1 cytolytic pathway and no interaction with several members of the Bcl-2 family of inhibitors of apoptosis. These data suggest that FIP-1, as a cellular target for Ad E3-14.7K, is either a new intermediate on a previously described pathway or part of a novel TNF-alpha-induced cell death pathway. FIP-1 has two consensus sequences for myristoylation which would be expected to facilitate membrane association and also has sequences for Ser/Thr as well as Tyr phosphorylation that could affect its function. 相似文献
