Paraquat (PQ) poisoning‐induced pulmonary fibrosis is one of the primary causes of death in patients with PQ poisoning. Hypoxia‐inducible factor‐1α (HIF‐1α) and epithelial‐mesenchymal transition (EMT) are involved in the progression of pulmonary fibrosis. Snail and β‐catenin are two other factors involved in promoting EMT. However, the relationship among HIF‐1α, Snail and β‐catenin in PQ poisoning‐induced pulmonary fibrosis is not clear. Our research aimed to determine whether the regulation of HIF‐1α in EMT occurs via the Snail and β‐catenin pathways in PQ poisoning‐induced pulmonary fibrosis. Sixty‐six Sprague–Dawley rats were randomly and evenly divided into a control group and a PQ group. The PQ group was treated with an intragastric infusion of a 20% PQ solution (50 mg/kg) for 2, 6, 12, 24, 48 and 72 hrs. A549 and RLE‐6TN cell lines were transfected with HIF‐1α siRNA for 48 hrs before being exposed to PQ. Western blotting, real‐time quantitative PCR, immunofluorescence, immunohistochemistry and other assays were used in our research. In vivo, the protein levels of HIF‐1α and α‐SMA were increased at 2 hrs and the level of ZO‐1 (Zonula Occluden‐1) was reduced at 12 hrs. In vitro, the transient transfection of HIF‐1α siRNA resulted in a decrease in the degree of EMT. The expression levels of Snail and β‐catenin were significantly reduced when HIF‐α was silenced. These data demonstrate that EMT may be involved in PQ poisoning‐induced pulmonary fibrosis and regulated by HIF‐1α via the Snail and β‐catenin pathways. Hypoxia‐inducible factor‐1α may be a therapeutic target for the treatment of PQ poisoning‐induced pulmonary fibrosis. 相似文献

Mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) have drawn great attention because of their therapeutic potential. It has been suggested that intra‐venous infused MSCs could migrate the site of injury to help repair the damaged tissue. However, the mechanism for MSC migration is still not clear so far. In this study, we reported that hypoxia increased chemotaxis migration of MSCs. At 4 and 6 hours after culturing in hypoxic (1% oxygen) conditions, the number of migrated MSCs was significantly increased. Meanwhile, hypoxia also increased the expression of HIF‐1α and SDF‐1. Using small interference RNA, we knocked down the expression of HIF‐1α in MSCs to study the role of HIF‐1α in hypoxia induced migration. Our data indicated that knocking down the expression of HIF‐1α not only abolished the migration of MSCs, but also reduced the expression of SDF‐1. Combining the results of migration assay and expression at RNA and protein level, we demonstrated a novel mechanism that controls the increase of MSCs migration. This mechanism involved HIF‐1α mediated SDF‐1 expression. These findings provide new insight into the role of HIF‐1α in the hypoxia induced MSC migration and can be a benefit for the development of MSC‐based therapeutics for wound healing. 相似文献

Intravenous application of high‐dose ascorbate is used in complementary palliative medicine to treat cancer patients. Pharmacological doses of ascorbate in the mM range induce cytotoxicity in cancer cells mediated by reactive oxygen species (ROS), namely hydrogen peroxide and ascorbyl radicals. However, little is known about intrinsic or extrinsic factors modulating this ascorbate‐mediated cytotoxicity. Under normoxia and hypoxia, ascorbate IC50 values were determined on the NCI60 cancer cells. The cell cycle, the influence of cobalt chloride‐induced hypoxia‐inducible factor‐1α (HIF‐1α) and the glucose transporter 1 (GLUT‐1) expression (a pro‐survival HIF‐1α‐downstream‐target) were analysed after ascorbate exposure under normoxic and hypoxic conditions. The amount of ascorbyl radicals increased with rising serum concentrations. Hypoxia (0.1% O2) globally increased the IC50 of ascorbate in the 60 cancer cell lines from 4.5 ± 3.6 mM to 10.1 ± 5.9 mM (2.2‐fold increase, P < 0.001, Mann–Whitney t‐test), thus inducing cellular resistance towards ascorbate. This ascorbate resistance depended on HIF‐1α‐signalling, but did not correlate with cell line‐specific expression of the ascorbate transporter GLUT‐1. However, under normoxic and hypoxic conditions, ascorbate treatment at the individual IC50 reduced the expression of GLUT‐1 in the cancer cells. Our data show a ROS‐induced, HIF‐1α‐ and O2‐dependent cytotoxicity of ascorbate on 60 different cancer cells. This suggests that for clinical application, cancer patients should additionally be oxygenized to increase the cytotoxic efficacy of ascorbate. 相似文献

Pancreatic cancer is a highly aggressive malignancy with limited treatment options. Type‐I interferons (e.g. IFN‐α/‐β) have several anti‐tumour activities. Over the past few years, clinical studies evaluating the effect of adjuvant IFN‐α therapy in pancreatic cancer yielded equivocal results. Although IFN‐α and ‐β act via the type‐I IFN receptor, the role of the number of receptors present on tumour cells is still unknown. Therefore, this study associated, for the first time, in a large panel of pancreatic cancer cell lines the effects of IFN‐α/‐β with the expression of type‐I IFN receptors. The anti‐tumour effects of IFN‐α or IFN‐β on cell proliferation and apoptosis were evaluated in 11 human pancreatic cell lines. Type‐I IFN receptor expression was determined on both the mRNA and protein level. After 7 days of incubation, IFN‐α significantly reduced cell growth in eight cell lines by 5–67%. IFN‐β inhibited cell growth statistically significant in all cell lines by 43–100%. After 3 days of treatment, IFN‐β induced significantly more apoptosis than IFN‐α. The cell lines variably expressed the type‐I IFN receptor. The maximal inhibitory effect of IFN‐α was positively correlated with the IFNAR‐1 mRNA (P < 0.05, r = 0.63), IFNAR‐2c mRNA (P < 0.05, r = 0.69) and protein expression (P < 0.05, r = 0.65). Human pancreatic cancer cell lines variably respond to IFN‐α and ‐β. The expression level of the type‐I IFN receptor is of predictive value for the direct anti‐tumour effects of IFN‐α treatment. More importantly, IFN‐β induces anti‐tumour effects already at much lower concentrations, is less dependent on interferon receptor expression and seems, therefore, more promising than IFN‐α. 相似文献

Protection of cardiac microvascular endothelial cells (CMECs) against hypoxia injury is an important therapeutic strategy for treating ischaemic cardiovascular disease. In this study, we investigated the effects of qiliqiangxin (QL) on primary rat CMECs exposed to hypoxia and the underlying mechanisms. Rat CMECs were successfully isolated and passaged to the second generation. CMECs that were pre‐treated with QL (0.5 mg/mL) and/or HIF‐1α siRNA were cultured in a three‐gas hypoxic incubator chamber (5% CO2, 1% O2, 94% N2) for 12 hours. Firstly, we demonstrated that compared with hypoxia group, QL effectively promoted the proliferation while attenuated the apoptosis, improved mitochondrial function and reduced ROS generation in hypoxic CMECs in a HIF‐1α‐dependent manner. Meanwhile, QL also promoted angiogenesis of CMECs via HIF‐1α/VEGF signalling pathway. Moreover, QL improved glucose utilization and metabolism and increased ATP production by up‐regulating HIF‐1α and a series of glycolysis‐relevant enzymes, including glucose transport 1 (GLUT1), hexokinase 2 (HK2), 6‐phosphofructokinase 1 (PFK1), pyruvate kinase M2 (PKM2) and lactate dehydrogenase A (LDHA). Our findings indicate that QL can protect CMECs against hypoxia injury via promoting glycolysis in a HIF‐1α‐dependent manner. Lastly, the results suggested that QL‐dependent enhancement of HIF‐1α protein expression in hypoxic CMECs was associated with the regulation of AMPK/mTOR/HIF‐1α pathway, and we speculated that QL also improved HIF‐1α stabilization through down‐regulating prolyl hydroxylases 3 (PHD3) expression. 相似文献

Acute or chronic damage to the liver may occur through alcohol, drugs, viruses, genetic disorders, and toxicity. In this study, we planned to investigate the protective and therapeutic effects of melatonin (Mel) by causing damage to the liver with thioacetamide (TAA). Thirty‐five rats were used. Group I: control group (seven pieces), group II: Mel group (seven pieces) the single dose on the first day of the experiment was 10 mg/kg, group III: TAA (seven pieces) 300 mg/kg with 24‐hour intervals, two doses, group IV: Mel + TAA group (seven pieces) 10 mg/kg single dose Mel was applied 24 hours before TAA application, group V: TAA + Mel group (seven pieces) single dose (24th hour) of 10 mg/kg Mel was administered after TAA (300 mg/kg) two doses. The liver histology was evaluated. Apoptosis, autophagy, and necrosis markers in tissue were determined by immunohistochemistry. Aspartate aminotransferase (AST), alanine aminotransferase (ALT), and alkaline phosphatase (ALP) levels in blood serum samples and transforming growth factor‐β (TGF‐β) and tumor necrosis factor‐α (TNF‐α) levels were determined in liver tissue. TAA affected histologically the classical lobule structure both in cell cords and sinusoids. Caspase‐3, RIP3, and LC3 levels were increased in group III compared with the control group. TAA did not cause a statistically significant change in TNF‐α level but decreased the TGF‐β level significantly. AST and ALT levels were statistically significant in group II and V compared with group I, the ALP level was significant in group IV compared with group II. The results of this study showed that TAA caused significant damage to tissues and increased cell death, Mel was found to have more therapeutic than the protective effect on tissues. 相似文献

Melanoma is resistant to most standard chemotherapeutics. We analysed the combined effect of doxorubicin and enzastaurin on cell death of four melanoma cell lines, namely G361, SK‐MEL3, A375 and SAN. Enzastaurin IC50 was calculated by measure of growth inhibition with MTS assay and corresponded to 2 μM; the half maximal cytotoxicity of doxorubicin was obtained at 3 μM dose. Evaluation of combination index showed synergism (CI > 1) or additive effect (CI = 1) with all melanoma cell lines, with enzastaurin doses ≥0.6 μM and doxorubicin doses ≥1 μM. Combination of the two drugs resulted in increase in caspase 3 and 8 activation, in comparison with activation by single agents. Caspase 8 activation was impaired by TNFR‐1 blocking. Our results show doxorubicin‐stimulated production of TNFα, whereas enzastaurin‐stimulated TNFR‐1 expression on plasma membrane. The effect on TNFR‐1 appeared to be mediated by PKCζ inhibition. Taken together, our findings suggest that enzastaurin increases doxorubicin‐induced apoptosis of melanoma by a mechanism involving, at least in part, activation of the TNF‐α signal. 相似文献

This study was designed to evaluate the effect of Z‐FA.FMK (benzyloxycarbonyl‐l ‐phenylalanyl‐alanine‐fluoromethylketone), a pharmacological inhibitor of cathepsin B, on the proliferation of duodenal mucosal epithelial cells and the cellular system that controls this mechanism in these cells in vivo. For this investigation, BALB/c male mice were divided into four groups. The first group received physiological saline, the second group was administered Z‐FA.FMK, the third group received d ‐GalN (d ‐galactosamine) and TNF‐α (tumour necrosis factor‐α) and the fourth group was given both d ‐GalN/TNF‐α and Z‐FA.FMK. When d ‐GalN/TNF‐α was administered alone, we observed an increase in IL‐1β‐positive and active NF‐κB‐positive duodenal epithelial cells, a decrease in PCNA (proliferative cell nuclear antigen)‐positive duodenal epithelial cells and an increase in degenerative changes in duodenum. On the other hand, Z‐FA.FMK pretreatment inhibited all of these changes. Furthermore, lipid peroxidation, protein carbonyl and collagen levels were increased, glutathione level and superoxide dismutase activity were decreased, while there was no change in catalase activity by d ‐GalN/TNF‐α injection. On the contrary, the Z‐FA.FMK pretreatment before d ‐GalN/TNF‐α blocked these effects. Based on these findings, we suggest that Z‐FA.FMK might act as a proliferative mediator which is controlled by IL‐1β through NF‐κB and oxidative stress in duodenal epithelial cells of d ‐GalN/TNF‐α‐administered mice. 相似文献

Vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) is correlated with angiogenesis and early relapse of colorectal cancer (CRC). This study investigated the role of miR‐148a in the regulation of VEGF/angiogenesis and early relapse of CRC. We established a stable clone with miR‐148a expression in HCT116 and HT29 cell lines and created a hypoxic condition by using CoCl2 to determine the underlying mechanism of miR‐148a. The effects of miR‐148a on the phosphoryl‐ERK (pERK)/hypoxia‐inducible factor‐1α (HIF‐1α)/VEGF pathway were evaluated through Western blotting and the inhibitory effect of miR‐148a on angiogenesis was demonstrated through a tube formation assay. Sixty‐three CRC tissues (28 early relapse and 35 non‐early relapse) were analysed to assess the relationship between miR‐148a and HIF‐1α/VEGF. The protein expression of pERK/HIF‐1α/VEGF in HCT116 and HT29 cells was significantly decreased by miR‐148a (all P < 0.05). The protein expression of VEGF/HIF‐1α was strongly inversely associated with the expression of miR‐148a in the 63 CRC tissue samples (all P < 0.05). Tube formation assay demonstrated that miR‐148a significantly obliterated angiogenesis. miR‐148a suppresses VEGF through down‐regulation of the pERK/HIF‐1α/VEGF pathway and might lead to the inhibition of angiogenesis; miR‐148a down‐regulation increased the early relapse rate of CRC. This demonstrates that miR‐148a is a potential diagnostic and therapeutic target. 相似文献

This study aims to explore the mechanism of Circular RNA CDR1as implicating in regulating 5‐fluorouracil (5‐FU) chemosensitivity in breast cancer (BC) by competitively inhibiting miR‐7 to regulate CCNE1. Expressions of CDR1as and miR‐7 in 5‐FU‐resistant BC cells were determined by RT‐PCR. CCK‐8, colony formation assay and flow cytometry were applied to measure half maximal inhibitory concentration (IC50), 5‐Fu chemosensitivity and cell apoptosis. Western blot was used to detect the expressions of apoptosis‐related factors. CDR1as was elevated while miR‐7 was inhibited in 5‐FU‐resistant BC cells. Cells transfected with si‐CDR1as or miR‐7 mimic had decreased IC50 and colony formation rate, increased expressions of Bax/Bcl2 and cleaved‐Caspase‐3/Caspase‐3, indicating inhibition of CDR1as and overexpression of miR‐7 enhances the chemosensitity of 5‐FU‐resistant BC cells. Targetscan software indicates a binding site of CDR1as and miR‐7 and that CCNE1 is a target gene of miR‐7. miR‐7 can gather CDR1as in BC cells and can inhibit CCNE1. In comparison to si‐CDR1as group, CCNE1 was increased and chemosensitivity to 5‐Fu was suppressed in si‐CDR1as + miR‐7 inhibitor group. When compared with miR‐7 mimic group, CDR1as + miR‐7 mimic group had increased CCNE1 and decreased chemosensitivity to 5‐Fu. Nude mouse model of BC demonstrated that the growth of xenotransplanted tumour in si‐CDR1as + miR‐7 inhibitor group was faster than that in si‐CDR1as group. The tumour growth in CDR1as + miR‐7 mimic group was faster than that in miR‐7 mimic group. CDR1as may regulate chemosensitivity of 5‐FU‐resistant BC cells by inhibiting miR‐7 to regulate CCNE1. 相似文献

Tumour necrosis factor (TNF)‐α induces cardiac metabolic disorder and mitochondrial dysfunction. Hydrogen sulphide (H2S) contains anti‐inflammatory and biological effects in cardiomyocytes. This study investigated whether H2S modulates TNF‐α‐dysregulated mitochondrial function and metabolism in cardiomyocytes. HL‐1 cells were incubated with TNF‐α (25 ng/mL) with or without sodium hydrosulphide (NaHS, 0.1 mmol/L) for 24 hours. Cardiac peroxisome proliferator‐activated receptor (PPAR) isoforms, pro‐inflammatory cytokines, receptor for advanced glycation end products (RAGE) and fatty acid metabolism were evaluated through Western blotting. The mitochondrial oxygen consumption rate and adenosine triphosphate (ATP) production were investigated using Seahorse XF24 extracellular flux analyzer and bioluminescence assay. Fluorescence intensity using 2′, 7′‐dichlorodihydrofluorescein diacetate was used to evaluate mitochondrial oxidative stress. NaHS attenuated the impaired basal and maximal respiration, ATP production and ATP synthesis and enhanced mitochondrial oxidative stress in TNF‐α‐treated HL‐1 cells. TNF‐α‐treated HL‐1 cells exhibited lower expression of PPAR‐α, PPAR‐δ, phosphorylated 5′ adenosine monophosphate‐activated protein kinase‐α2, phosphorylated acetyl CoA carboxylase, carnitine palmitoyltransferase‐1, PPAR‐γ coactivator 1‐α and diacylglycerol acyltransferase 1 protein, but higher expression of PPAR‐γ, interleukin‐6 and RAGE protein than control or combined NaHS and TNF‐α‐treated HL‐1 cells. NaHS modulates the effects of TNF‐α on mitochondria and the cardiometabolic system, suggesting its therapeutic potential for inflammation‐induced cardiac dysfunction. 相似文献

In clinic, we examined the expression of protein kinase C (PKC)‐α and Dicer in the samples of bladder cancer patients, and found that the two proteins have a line correlation. Our study confirmed this correlation existing by clearing the decreasing expression of Dicer after the PKC‐α knockdown. Treatment of bladder cancer cell lines (T24, 5637) with the PKC‐α or Dicer knockdown and the PKC inhibitors (Calphostin C and Gö 6976) can promote the apoptosis. Inhibition of PKC can increase the activities of caspase‐3 and PARP, however, decrease the expression of Dicer. And knockdown of the PKC‐α or Dicer can also activate the caspase‐3 or the PARP. Considering the reduction of PKC‐α can induce the Dicer down‐regulation, we make the conclusion that the reduction of PKC‐α can promote the apoptosis via the down‐regulation of Dicer in bladder cancer. 相似文献

Isolated liver perfusion systems have been used to characterize intrinsic metabolic changes in liver as a result of various perturbations, including systemic injury, hepatotoxin exposure, and warm ischemia. Most of these studies were done using hyperoxic conditions (95% O(2)) but without the use of oxygen carriers in the perfusate. Prior literature data do not clearly establish the impact of oxygenation, and in particular that of adding oxygen carriers to the perfusate, on the metabolic functions of the liver. Therefore, herein the effects of oxygen delivery in the perfusion system on liver metabolism were investigated by comparing three modes of oxygenation. Rat livers were perfused via the portal and hepatic veins at a constant flow rate of 3 mL/min/g liver in a recirculating perfusion system. In the first group, the perfusate was equilibrated in a membrane oxygenator with room air (21% O(2)) before entering the liver. In the second group, the perfusate was equilibrated with a 95% O(2)/5% CO(2) gas mixture. In the third group, the perfusate was supplemented with washed bovine red blood cells (RBCs) at 10% hematocrit and also equilibrated with the 95% O(2)/5% CO(2) gas mixture. Oxygen and CO(2) gradients across the liver were measured periodically with a blood gas analyzer. The rate of change in the concentration of major metabolites in the perfusate was measured over time. Net extracellular fluxes were calculated from these measurements and applied to a stoichiometric-based optimization problem to determine the intracellular fluxes and active pathways in the perfused livers. Livers perfused with RBCs consumed oxygen at twice the rate observed using hyperoxic (95% O(2)) perfusate without RBCs, and also produced more urea and ketone bodies. At the flow rate used, the oxygen supply in perfusate without RBCs was just sufficient to meet the average oxygen demand of the liver but would be insufficient if it increased above baseline, as is often the case in response to environmental perturbations. Metabolic pathway analysis suggests that significant anaerobic glycolysis occurred in the absence of RBCs even using hyperoxic perfusate. Conversely, when RBCs were used, glucose production from lactate and glutamate, as well as pathways related to energy metabolism were upregulated. RBCs also reversed an increase in PPP fluxes induced by the use of hyperoxic perfusate alone. In conclusion, the use of oxygen carriers is required to investigate the effect of various perturbations on liver metabolism. 相似文献
