Cytokine-induced beta cell dysfunction is a hallmark of type 2 diabetes (T2D). Chronic exposure of beta cells to inflammatory cytokines affects gene expression and impairs insulin secretion. Thus, identification of anti-inflammatory factors that preserve beta cell function represents an opportunity to prevent or treat T2D. Butyrate is a gut microbial metabolite with anti-inflammatory properties for which we recently showed a role in preventing interleukin-1β (IL-1β)-induced beta cell dysfunction, but how prevention is accomplished is unclear. Here, we investigated the mechanisms by which butyrate exerts anti-inflammatory activity in beta cells. We exposed mouse islets and INS-1E cells to a low dose of IL-1β and/or butyrate and measured expression of inflammatory genes and nitric oxide (NO) production. Additionally, we explored the molecular mechanisms underlying butyrate activity by dissecting the activation of the nuclear factor-κB (NF-κB) pathway. We found that butyrate suppressed IL-1β-induced expression of inflammatory genes, such as Nos2, Cxcl1, and Ptgs2, and reduced NO production. Butyrate did not inhibit IκBα degradation nor NF-κB p65 nuclear translocation. Furthermore, butyrate did not affect binding of NF-κB p65 to target sequences in synthetic DNA but inhibited NF-κB p65 binding and RNA polymerase II recruitment to inflammatory gene promoters in the context of native DNA. We found this was concurrent with increased acetylation of NF-κB p65 and histone H4, suggesting butyrate affects NF-κB activity via inhibition of histone deacetylases. Together, our results show butyrate inhibits IL-1β-induced inflammatory gene expression and NO production through suppression of NF-κB activation and thereby possibly preserves beta cell function. 相似文献

Proper targeting of the βPAK-interacting exchange factor (βPIX)/G protein-coupled receptor kinase-interacting target protein (GIT) complex into distinct cellular compartments is essential for its diverse functions including neurite extension and synaptogenesis. However, the mechanism for translocation of this complex is still unknown. In the present study, we reported that the conventional kinesin, called kinesin-1, can transport the βPIX/GIT complex. Additionally, βPIX bind to KIF5A, a neuronal isoform of kinesin-1 heavy chain, but not KIF1 and KIF3. Mapping analysis revealed that the tail of KIF5s and LZ domain of βPIX were the respective binding domains. Silencing KIF5A or the expression of a variety of mutant forms of KIF5A inhibited βPIX targeting the neurite tips in PC12 cells. Fur-thermore, truncated mutants of βPIX without LZ domain did not interact with KIF5A, and were unable to target the neurite tips in PC12 cells. These results defined kinesin-1 as a motor protein of βPIX, and may provide new insights into βPIX/GIT complex-dependent neuronal pathophysiology. 相似文献

Islet β cell dedifferentiation is one of the most important mechanisms in the occurrence and development of diabetes. We studied the possible effects of chemokine stromal cell‐derived factor‐1 (SDF‐1) in the dedifferentiation of islet β cells. It was noted that the number of dedifferentiated islet β cells and the expression of SDF‐1 in pancreatic tissues significantly increased with diabetes. In islet β cell experiments, inhibition of SDF‐1 expression resulted in an increase in the number of dedifferentiated cells, while overexpression of SDF‐1 resulted in a decrease. This seemed to be contradicted by the effect of diabetes on the expression of SDF‐1 in pancreatic tissue, but it was concluded that this may be related to the loss of SDF‐1 activity. SDF‐1 binds to CXCR4 to form a complex, which activates and phosphorylates AKT, subsequently increases the expression of forkhead box O1 (FOXO1), and inhibits the dedifferentiation of islet β cells. This suggests that SDF‐1 may be a novel target in the treatment of diabetes. 相似文献

Fibrillin-1 is a microfibrillar extracellular matrix protein that was described to be a ligand for α8 integrin. α8 integrin is a matrix receptor specifically expressed in mesangial and smooth muscle cells of the kidney. In previous studies we detected glomerular expression of fibrillin-1. Moreover, fibrillin-1 promoted adhesion, migration, and proliferation of mesangial cells. We hypothesized that fibrillin-1 and α8 integrin might interact in the glomerulus, and thus, regulate mesangial cell properties. Our studies showed that fibrillin-1 and α8 integrin colocalize in the glomerular mesangium. Induction of experimental glomerulonephritis led to an increase of both fibrillin-1 and α8 integrin expression. In vitro studies revealed that mesangial cells deficient for α8 integrin adhere weaker to fibrillin-1 and migrate more easily on fibrillin-1 than wild-type mesangial cells. Baseline proliferation on fibrillin-1 is higher in α8 integrin-deficient mesangial cells, but the induction of proliferation is not different in α8 integrin-deficient and wild-type mesangial cells. We conclude that fibrillin-1 and α8 integrin interact, and thus, regulate mesangial cell adhesion and migration. The concomitant induction of both fibrillin-1 and α8 integrin in a self-limited model of glomerular injury points to a protective role of the interaction of fibrillin-1 with α8 integrin in the glomerulus resulting in reduced damage of the glomerular tuft as a consequence of firm adhesion of mesangial cells. 相似文献

Excessive dietary intake of fat results in its storage in white adipose tissue (WAT). Energy expenditure through lipid oxidation occurs in brown adipose tissue (BAT). Certain WAT depots can undergo a change termed beiging where markers that BAT express are induced. Little is known about signalling pathways inducing beiging. Here, inhibition of a signalling pathway regulating alternative pre‐mRNA splicing is involved in adipocyte beiging. Clk1/2/4 kinases regulate splicing by phosphorylating factors that process pre‐mRNA. Clk1 inhibition by TG003 results in beige‐like adipocytes highly expressing PGC1α and UCP1. SiRNA for Clk1, 2 and 4, demonstrated that Clk1 depletion increased UCP1 and PGC1α expression, whereas Clk2/4 siRNA did not. TG003‐treated adipocytes contained fewer lipid droplets, are smaller, and contain more mitochondria, resulting in proton leak increases. Additionally, inhibition of PKCβII activity, a splice variant regulated by Clk1, increased beiging. PGC1α is a substrate for both Clk1 and PKCβII kinases, and we surmised that inhibition of PGC1α phosphorylation resulted in beiging of adipocytes. We show that TG003 binds Clk1 more than Clk2/4 through direct binding, and PGC1α binds to Clk1 at a site close to TG003. Furthermore, we show that TG003 is highly specific for Clk1 across hundreds of kinases in our activity screen. Hence, Clk1 inhibition becomes a target for induction of beige adipocytes. 相似文献

Sustained hyperglycaemia and hyperlipidaemia incur endoplasmic reticulum stress (ER stress) and reactive oxygen species (ROS) overproduction in pancreatic β‐cells. ER stress or ROS causes c‐Jun N‐terminal kinase (JNK) activation, and the activated JNK triggers apoptosis in different cells. Nuclear receptor subfamily 4 group A member 1 (NR4A1) is an inducible multi‐stress response factor. The aim of this study was to explore the role of NR4A1 in counteracting JNK activation induced by ER stress or ROS and the related mechanism. qPCR, Western blotting, dual‐luciferase reporter and ChIP assays were applied to detect gene expression or regulation by NR4A1. Immunofluorescence was used to detect a specific protein expression in β‐cells. Our data showed that NR4A1 reduced the phosphorylated JNK (p‐JNK) in MIN6 cells encountering ER stress or ROS and reduced MKK4 protein in a proteasome‐dependent manner. We found that NR4A1 increased the expression of cbl‐b (an E3 ligase); knocking down cbl‐b expression increased MKK4 and p‐JNK levels under ER stress or ROS conditions. We elucidated that NR4A1 enhanced the transactivation of cbl‐b promoter by physical association. We further confirmed that cbl‐b expression in β‐cells was reduced in NR4A1‐knockout mice compared with WT mice. NR4A1 down‐regulates JNK activation by ER stress or ROS in β‐cells via enhancing cbl‐b expression. 相似文献

In the present study, we demonstrate the regulatory effects and mechanism of broussonin A and B, diphenylpropane derivatives isolated from Broussonetia kazinoki, on vascular endothelial growth factor‐A (VEGF‐A)–stimulated endothelial cell responses in vitro and microvessel sprouting ex vivo. Treatment with broussonin A or B suppressed VEGF‐A‐stimulated endothelial cell proliferation by regulating the expression of cell cycle–related proteins and the phosphorylation status of retinoblastoma protein. In addition, treatment with broussonin A or B abrogated VEGF‐A‐stimulated angiogenic responses including endothelial cell migration, invasion, tube formation and microvessel formation from rat aortic rings. These anti‐angiogenic activities of broussonin A and B were mediated through inactivation of VEGF‐A‐stimulated downstream signalling pathways, localization of vascular endothelial‐cadherin at cell‐cell contacts, and down‐regulation of integrin β1 and integrin‐liked kinase. Furthermore, treatment with broussonin A or B inhibited proliferation and invasion of non–small cell lung cancer and ovarian cancer cells. Taken together, our findings suggest the pharmacological potential of broussonin A and B in the regulation of angiogenesis, cancer cell growth and progression. 相似文献

Background: Intervertebral disc degeneration (IDD), the main cause of low back pain, is closely related to the inflammatory microenvironment in the nucleus pulposus (NP). Tumor necrosis factor-α (TNF-α) plays an important role in inflammation-related metabolic disturbance of NP cells. Melatonin has been proven to regulate the metabolism of NP cells, but whether it can protect NP cells from TNF-α-induced damage is still unclear. Therefore, this study aims to investigate the role and specific mechanism of melatonin on regulating the metabolism of NP cells in the inflammatory microenvironment.Methods: Western blotting, RT-qPCR and immunohistochemistry were used to detect the expression of melatonin membrane receptors (MTNR1A/B) and TNF-α in human NP tissues. In vitro, human primary NP cells were treated with or without vehicle, TNF-α and melatonin. And the metabolic markers were also detected by western blotting and RT-qPCR. The activity of NF-κB signaling and Hippo/YAP signaling were assessed by western blotting and immunofluorescence. Membrane receptors inhibitors, pathway inhibitors, lentiviral infection, plasmids transfection and immunoprecipitation were used to explore the specific mechanism of melatonin. In vivo, the rat IDD model was constructed and melatonin was injected intraperitoneally to evaluate its therapeutical effect on IDD.Results: The upregulation of TNF-α and downregulation of melatonin membrane receptors (MTNR1A/B) were observed in degenerative NP tissues. Then we demonstrated that melatonin could alleviate the development of IDD in a rat model and reverse TNF-α-impaired metabolism of NP cells in vitro. Further investigation revealed that the protective effects of melatonin on NP cells mainly rely on MTNR1B, which subsequently activates Gαi2 protein. The activation of Gαi2 could upregulate the yes-associated protein (YAP) level, resulting in anabolic enhancement of NP cells. In addition, melatonin-mediated YAP upregulation increased the expression of IκBα and suppressed the TNF-α-induced activation of the NF-κB pathway, thereby inhibiting the catabolism of NP cells.Conclusions: Our results revealed that melatonin can reverse TNF-α-impaired metabolism of NP cells via the MTNR1B/Gαi2/YAP axis and suggested that melatonin can be used as a potential therapeutic drug in the treatment of IDD. 相似文献

Rheumatoid arthritis (RA) is a chronic inflammatory disease characterized by pain, synovial hyperplasia, mononuclear cell infiltration, bone erosion and joint destruction. Efficacy of personalized therapy in RA is associated with correct choice of therapeutic agent and a possibility to predict its effect prior to treatment. Our objective was to examine the association of baseline expression of metalloproteinase (MMP)-9 and cathepsin K, which are involved in cartilage and bone degradation, as well as proinflammatory cytokines tumour necrosis factor (TNF)α and interleukin (IL)-1β in the peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMCs) obtained from patients with RA cultured with tofacitinib (TFCN) and remission achievement. We examined 12 tofacitinib-naïve patients with RA, with a median age of 51 years and disease duration of 37.6 months. After three months of TFCN therapy, six of these patients reached clinical remission criteria while others preserved high and moderate disease activity. PBMCs were tested prior to therapy followed by their isolation in Ficoll density gradient and cultured with 100 nM TFCN for 48 h. Gene expression analysis for MMP-9, cathepsin K, IL-1β, and TNFα was performed with quantitative real-time RT-PCR using total RNA isolated from and cultured with TFCN PBMCs compared with untreated cells. Expression of all the examined genes was significantly upregulated in those cultured with TFCN PBMCs from patients who maintained high and moderate disease activity after TFCN therapy while TNFα gene expression was significantly downregulated in patients who gained remission compared with untreated counterparts. Downregulation of TNFα gene expression in PBMCs from TFCN-naïve patients with RA cultured with TFCN prior to therapy compared with untreated counterparts might serve a prognostic biomarker for remission attainment in response to tofacitinib therapy. 相似文献

Alzheimer''s disease (AD) is an age‐related neurodegenerative disease, and the imbalance between production and clearance of β‐amyloid (Aβ) is involved in its pathogenesis. Autophagy is an intracellular degradation pathway whereby leads to removal of aggregated proteins, up‐regulation of which may be a plausible therapeutic strategy for the treatment of AD. Histamine H3 receptor (H3R) is a presynaptic autoreceptor regulating histamine release via negative feedback way. Our previous study showed that thioperamide, as an antagonist of H3R, enhances autophagy and protects against ischemic injury. However, the effect of thioperamide on autophagic function and Aβ pathology in AD remains unknown. In this study, we found that thioperamide promoted cognitive function, ameliorated neuronal loss, and Aβ pathology in APP/PS1 transgenic (Tg) mice. Interestingly, thioperamide up‐regulated autophagic level and lysosomal function both in APP/PS1 Tg mice and in primary neurons under Aβ‐induced injury. The neuroprotection by thioperamide against AD was reversed by 3‐MA, inhibitor of autophagy, and siRNA of Atg7, key autophagic‐related gene. Furthermore, inhibition of activity of CREB, H3R downstream signaling, by H89 reversed the effect of thioperamide on promoted cell viability, activated autophagic flux, and increased autophagic‐lysosomal proteins expression, including Atg7, TFEB, and LAMP1, suggesting a CREB‐dependent autophagic activation by thioperamide in AD. Taken together, these results suggested that H3R antagonist thioperamide improved cognitive impairment in APP/PS1 Tg mice via modulation of the CREB‐mediated autophagy and lysosomal pathway, which contributed to Aβ clearance. This study uncovered a novel mechanism involving autophagic regulating behind the therapeutic effect of thioperamide in AD. 相似文献

Islet inflammation severely impairs pancreatic β‐cell function, but the specific mechanisms are still unclear. Interleukin1‐β (IL‐1β), an essential inflammatory factor, exerts a vital role in multiple physio‐pathologic processes, including diabetes. Calcium/calmodulin‐dependent serine protein kinase (CASK) is an important regulator especially in insulin secretion process. This study aims to unveil the function of CASK in IL‐1β–induced insulin secretion dysfunction and the possible mechanism thereof. Islets of Sprague‐Dawley (SD) rats and INS‐1 cells stimulated with IL‐1β were utilized as models of chronic inflammation. Insulin secretion function associated with Cask and DNA methyltransferases (DNMT) expression were assessed. The possible mechanisms of IL‐1β‐induced pancreatic β‐cell dysfunction were also explored. In this study, CASK overexpression effectively improved IL‐1β‐induced islet β‐cells dysfunction, increased insulin secretion. DNA methyltransferases and the level of methylation in the promoter region of Cask were elevated after IL‐1β administration. Methyltransferase inhibitor 5‐Aza‐2’‐deoxycytidine (5‐Aza‐dC) and si‐DNMTs partially up‐regulated CASK expression and reversed potassium stimulated insulin secretion (KSIS) and glucose‐stimulated insulin secretion (GSIS) function under IL‐1β treatment in INS‐1 and rat islets. These results reveal a previously unknown effect of IL‐1β on insulin secretion dysfunction and demonstrate a novel pathway for Cask silencing based on activation of DNA methyltransferases via inducible nitric oxide synthase (iNOS) and modification of gene promoter methylation. 相似文献

Accumulating evidence reveals that hormone leptin, mainly produced by adipocyte, plays a unique role in promotion of liver fibrosis. Hepatic stellate cell (HSC) activation is a key step in liver fibrosis and peroxisome‐proliferator activated receptor γ (PPARγ) exerts a crucial role in inhibition of HSC activation. Our previous researches demonstrated that leptin reduced PPARγ1 (a major subtype of PPARγ in HSCs) expression through GATA binding protein 2 (GATA2) binding to a site around ?2323 in PPARγ1 promoter. The present researches aimed to examine the effect of GATA3 on leptin‐induced inhibition of PPARγ1 and elucidate the relationship between GATA3 and GATA2. Gene expressions were analysed by real‐time PCR, western blot, luciferase assay and immunostaining. C57BL/6J ob/ob mouse model of thioacetamide‐induced liver injury was used in vivo. Results demonstrate that leptin significantly induces GATA3 expression in HSCs by multiple signalling pathways including NADPH oxidase pathway. There exist crosstalks between NADPH oxidase pathway and the other pathways. GATA3 can bind to GATA2‐binding site in PPARγ1 promoter and interacts with GATA2, contributing to leptin inhibition of PPARγ1 expression in HSCs. These data demonstrated novel molecular events for leptin inhibition of PPARγ1 expression in HSCs and thus might have potential implications for clarifying the detailed mechanisms underlying liver fibrosis in diseases in which circulating leptin levels are elevated such as non‐alcoholic steatohepatitis in obese patients. 相似文献
