Effects of various stresses were examined on the accumulation of mRNA for microsomal heme oxygenase and a heat shock protein, hsp70, in three human hepatoma cell lines. By heat shock, hsp70 mRNA was induced in all three hepatoma lines, Hep G2, Hep 3B and Hep G2f, while heme oxygenase mRNA was increased only in Hep 3B. Time-courses of the heat shock induction of both mRNAs in Hep 3B were similar. Arsenite caused induction of both mRNAs in all three cell lines, while cadmium increased them in Hep G2 and Hep 3B, but not in Hep G2f cells. These findings suggest that, although both hsp70 and heme oxygenase are heat shock proteins, the mode of induction of mRNAs for these proteins is different. 相似文献

Hemin treatment increased both activity and mRNA level of heme oxygenase in human macrophages. Using poly(A)-rich RNA prepared from human macrophages treated with hemin, we have constructed a cDNA library in the Okayama-Berg vector. The human heme oxygenase cDNA was isolated by screening this library with a rat cDNA and was subjected to nucleotide sequence analysis. The deduced human heme oxygenase is composed of 288 amino acids with a molecular mass of 32,800 Da. The homology in amino acid sequences between rat and human heme oxygenase is 80%. Like rat heme oxygenase, human enzyme has a putative membrane segment at its carboxyl terminus, which is probably essential for the insertion of heme oxygenase into endoplasmic reticulum. Both rat and human heme oxygenase have no cysteine residues. Recently we have shown that rat heme oxygenase is a heat-shock protein [J. Biol. Chem. 262, 12889-12892 (1987)], and therefore we examined the effects of heat treatment on the induction of heme oxygenase in human macrophages and glioma cells. In contrast to hemin treatment, heat treatment had no apparent effects in either human cell line on the activity of heme oxygenase and its mRNA levels. These results suggest that human heme oxygenase may not be a heat-shock protein. 相似文献

The human hepatoma Hep3B cells contain integrated hepatitis B viral genome and continually secret hepatitis B surface antigen (HBsAg). The production of HBsAg (but not alpha-fetoprotein) was suppressed by addition of low concentrations (0.1-1 nM) of insulin into serum-free medium. In addition, the suppression of HBsAg production by insulin was paralleled with the decrease in HBsAg mRNA abundance. Insulin also cause a rapid rate of disappearance of HBsAg mRNA (t 1/2, 2 h) in Hep3B cells. The Hep3B cells carry specific receptor with high affinity for insulin (Kd = 1.8 nM). The receptor showed an insulin-dependent protein tyrosine kinase activity. The half-maximal insulin concentration for the activation of the receptor kinase was about 5 nM. Only very high concentrations of insulin-like growth factor I and human proinsulin can compete for the insulin receptor binding and suppress HBsAg production, this suggests that insulin may act through its receptor binding to suppress HBsAg expression in human hepatoma Hep3B cells. 相似文献

We evaluated the antitumor activity of tocotrienol (T3) on human hepatoma Hep3B cells. At first, we examined the effect of T3 on the proliferation of human hepatoma Hep3B cells and found that gamma-T3 inhibited cell proliferation at lower concentrations and shorter treatment times than alpha-T3. Then, we examined the effect of gamma-T3 apoptosis induction and found that gamma-T3 induced poly (ADP-ribose) polymerase (PARP) cleavage and stimulated a rise in caspase-3 activity. In addition, gamma-T3 stimulated a rise in caspase-8 and caspase-9 activities. We also found that gamma-T3-induced apoptotic cell death was accompanied by up-regulation of Bax and a rise in the fragments of Bid and caspase-8. These data indicate that gamma-T3 induced apoptosis in Hep3B cells and that caspase-8 and caspase-9 were involved in apoptosis induction. Moreover, these results suggest that Bax and Bid regulated apoptosis induction by gamma-T3. 相似文献

Effects of selenium compounds on the induction of heme oxygenase in human cells exposed to sodium arsenite or cadmium chloride have been investigated by an immunoblotting technique. Exposure of HeLa cells to arsenite or cadmium ions caused a marked increase in the synthesis of heme oxygenase, and the presence of sodium selenite suppressed the induction. DL-Selenocystine was an effective suppressor, and sodium selenate was less effective. DL-Selenomethionine had no effect. Northern blot analysis showed that selenite abolished the induction of heme oxygenase mRNA in the cells exposed to arsenite or cadmium ions. These results indicated that selenium antagonizes the induction of heme oxygenase by heavy metals ions. 相似文献

Expression of Heme Oxygenase Isozyme mRNAs in the Human Brain and Induction of Heme Oxygenase-1 by Nitric Oxide Donors 总被引:2,自引:1,他引:1

Abstract: Heme oxygenase is an essential enzyme in the heme catabolism that produces carbon monoxide (CO). This study was designed to examine the expression of two heme oxygenase isozyme mRNAs in the human brain and to explore the involvement of nitric oxide (NO) and various neuropeptides in the regulation of their expression. Northern blot analysis showed the expression of heme oxygenase-1 and heme oxygenase-2 mRNAs in every region of the brain examined, with the highest levels found in the frontal cortex, temporal cortex, occipital cortex, and hypothalamus. In a human glioblastoma cell line, T98G, treatment with any of three types of NO donors—sodium nitroprusside, 3-morpholinosydnonimine, and S -nitroso- l -glutathione—caused a significant increase in the levels of heme oxygenase-1 mRNA but not in the levels of heme oxygenase-2 and heat-shock protein 70 mRNAs. Sodium nitroprusside increased the levels of heme oxygenase-1 protein but not the levels of heat-shock protein 70 in T98G cells. The increase in content of heme oxygenase-1 mRNA caused by sodium nitroprusside was completely abolished by the treatment with actinomycin D. On the other hand, the levels of heme oxygenase isozyme mRNAs were not noticeably changed in T98G cells following the treatment with 8-bromo cyclic GMP, sodium nitrite, or various neuropeptides, such as calcitonin gene-related peptide, endothelin-1, and corticotropin-releasing hormone. The present study has shown the expression profiles of heme oxygenase-1 and -2 mRNAs in the human brain and the induction of heme oxygenase-1 mRNA caused by NO donors in T98G cells. These findings raise a possibility that the CO/heme oxygenase system may function in concert with the NO/NO synthase system in the brain. 相似文献

Heme oxygenase catalyzes the first and rate-controlling step of heme catabolism. Induction of heme oxygenase-1 can be caused by numerous factors, including heme, other metalloporphyrins, transition metal ions, heat shock, ultraviolet light, phorbol esters, sodium arsenite, and phenylarsine oxide (PAO). Induction of this enzyme may protect cells from oxidative damage. Using heme oxygenase-1 promoter/reporter gene constructs, we have previously reported that the sodium arsenite-mediated induction of heme oxygenase-1 in chick embryo liver cells and chicken hepatoma (LMH) cells involves an AP-1 element. We have now investigated whether the PAO-mediated induction of heme oxygenase-1 also involves an AP-1 element. Primary cultures of chick embryo liver cells were transiently transfected with heme oxygenase-1 promoter/reporter gene constructs, treated with PAO, and reporter gene activities were measured. We found that the PAO-mediated increase in reporter gene activity was dose- and time-dependent. This activity was decreased by prior treatment with N-acetylcysteine. Studies with mutated constructs showed that both an AP-1 element and a metal responsive element are involved in the PAO-mediated induction of the heme oxygenase-1 reporter construct. Electrophoretic mobility shift assays showed that nuclear proteins from PAO-treated cells had increased binding to an AP-1 probe, and that this increase was abrogated by N-acetylcysteine. These findings support the hypothesis that the PAO-mediated induction of heme oxygenase-1 is caused by activation of AP-1 and MRE/cMyc elements and may involve nuclear proteins whose states of phosphorylation determine binding to regulatory elements, and thus the level of expression of heme oxygenase-1. 相似文献

Heme oxygenase consists of two structurally related isozymes, heme oxygenase-1 and and heme oxygenase-2, each of which cleaves heme to form biliverdin, iron and carbon monoxide. Expression of heme oxygenase-1 is increased or decreased depending on cellular microenvironments, whereas little is known about the regulation of heme oxygenase-2 expression. Here we show that hypoxia (1% oxygen) reduces the expression levels of heme oxygenase-2 mRNA and protein after 48 h of incubation in human cell lines, including Jurkat T-lymphocytes, YN-1 and K562 erythroleukemia, HeLa cervical cancer, and HepG2 hepatoma, as judged by northern blot and western blot analyses. In contrast, the expression level of heme oxygenase-1 mRNA varies under hypoxia, depending on the cell line; it was increased in YN-1 cells, decreased in HeLa and HepG2 cells, and remained undetectable in Jurkat and K562 cells. Moreover, heme oxygenase-1 protein was decreased in YN-1 cells under the conditions used, despite the induction of heme oxygenase-1 mRNA under hypoxia. The heme oxygenase activity was significantly decreased in YN-1, K562 and HepG2 cells after 48 h of hypoxia. To explore the mechanism for the hypoxia-mediated reduction of heme oxygenase-2 expression, we showed that hypoxia shortened the half-life of heme oxygenase-2 mRNA (from 12 h to 6 h) in YN-1 cells, without affecting the half-life of heme oxygenase-1 mRNA (9.5 h). Importantly, the heme contents were increased in YN-1, HepG2 and HeLa cells after 48 h of incubation under hypoxia. Thus, the reduced expression of heme oxygenase-2 may represent an important adaptation to hypoxia in certain cell types, which may contribute to the maintenance of the intracellular heme level. 相似文献

UDP-N-acetylglucosamine: alpha-6-D-mannoside beta-1,6N-acetylglucosaminyltransferase-V activities were determined in human hepatoma cell lines of Hep3B and HepG2, and also compared with those of normal liver tissues and primary hepatocytes. When GlcNAcbeta1-2Manalpha1-3(GlcNAcbeta1-2Manalpha1-4)(Manbeta1-4GlcNAc-2-amino pyridine (GlcN,GlcN-biant-PA) and UDP-GlcNAc were used as substrates, the enzymes displayed optimum temperatures of 50 degrees C, optimum pHs of 6.5 in each case, K(m) values for UDP-GlcNAc to be 5.8 (Hep3B) and 4.5 mM (HepG2) and K(m) values for GlcN,GlcN-biant-PA (mM) to be 1.28 (Hep3B) and 2.4 (HepG2). This indicates that values of Hep3B GlcNAc-transferase-V were distinguishable with HepG2 enzyme. Furthermore, Hep3B enzyme in membrane fraction showed about 1.5-fold higher specific activity (1.423 pmol/(h mg) than that (1.066 pmol/(h mg)) of HepG2. Normal hepatocytes are characterized by very low level of GlcNAc-transferase-V activity whereas hepatoma cells contained high activities. Treatment of hepatoma cells with retinoic acid and 1alpha,2,5-dihydroxyvitamin D(3) (Vit-D(3)) resulted in an increase in GlcNAc-transferase-V activity, while treatment with dimethyl sulfoxide and cytosine-arabinoside resulted in decrease in the enzyme activity. Although retinoic acid (RA) treated cells shows a changed GlcNAc-transferase-V mRNA expression, expression of marker proteins such as alpha-fetoprotein and albumin was not changed. This is the first demonstration of GlcNAc-transferase-V activity in RA and Vit-D(3)-treated hepatoma cell lines. 相似文献

Intracellular heme concentrations are maintained in part by heme degradation, which is catalyzed by heme oxygenase. Heme oxygenase consists of two structurally related isozymes, HO-1 and HO-2. Recent studies have identified HO-2 as a potential oxygen sensor. To gain further insights into the regulatory role of HO-2 in heme homeostasis, we analyzed the expression profiles of HO-2 and the biochemical consequences of HO-2 knockdown with specific short interfering RNA (siRNA) in human cells. Both HO-2 mRNA and protein are expressed in the eight human cancer cell lines examined, and HO-1 expression is detectable in five of the cell lines, including HeLa cervical cancer and HepG2 hepatoma. Down-regulation of HO-2 expression with siRNA against HO-2 (siHO-2) caused induction of HO-1 expression at both mRNA and protein levels in HeLa and HepG2 cells. In contrast, knockdown of HO-1 expression did not noticeably influence HO-2 expression. HO-2 knockdown prolonged the half-life of HO-1 mRNA twofold in HeLa cells. Transient transfection assays in HeLa cells revealed that the 4.5-kb human HO-1 gene promoter was activated with selective knockdown of HO-2 in a sequence-dependent manner. Moreover, HO-2 knockdown caused heme accumulation in HeLa and HepG2 cells only when exposed to exogenous hemin. HO-2 knockdown may mimic a certain physiological change that is important in the maintenance of cellular heme homeostasis. These results suggest that HO-2 may down-regulate the expression of HO-1, thereby directing the co-ordinated expression of HO-1 and HO-2. 相似文献

Heme oxygenase-1 induction in skeletal muscle cells: hemin and sodium nitroprusside are regulators in vitro 总被引:3,自引:0,他引:3

The heat shock protein heme oxygenase-1 (HO-1)is regulated by a variety of physiological and pharmacological factors.In skeletal muscle tissue, HO-1 has been shown to be induced only byexercise and electrical stimulation in vivo. Both hemin and sodiumnitroprusside (SNP) are potent inducers of HO-1 in other tissues. Inthis study, we examined the effects of these two agents on HO-1induction in L6.G8 rat skeletal myoblast cells. Hemin and SNP increasedcellular heme oxygenase activity in both a time- andconcentration-dependent manner. Increases in the HO-1 mRNA level andprotein expression accompanied changes in heme oxygenase activity. Theability of SNP to induce HO-1 in L6.G8 cells was reduced bycoincubation with hydroxocobalamin, a known nitric oxide (NO)scavenger, suggesting that NO itself may be involved in HO-1 genestimulation. These results indicate that HO-1 expression is sensitiveto both hemin and SNP in skeletal myoblast cells and may indicate animportant regulatory mechanism of heme catabolism in skeletal muscletissue. 相似文献
