Macrophages can be activated and regulated by high-mobility group box 1 (HMGB1), a highly conserved nuclear protein. Inflammatory functions of HMGB1 are mediated by binding to cell surface receptors, including the receptor for advanced glycation end products (RAGE), Toll-like receptor (TLR)2, TLR4, and TLR9. Pyroptosis is a caspase-1-dependent programmed cell death, which features rapid plasma membrane rupture, DNA fragmentation, and release of proinflammatory intracellular contents. Pyroptosis can be triggered by various stimuli, however, the mechanism underlying pyroptosis remains unclear. In this study, we identify a novel pathway of HMGB1-induced macrophage pyroptosis. We demonstrate that HMGB1, acting through RAGE and dynamin-dependent signaling, initiates HMGB1endocytosis, which in turn induces cell pyroptosis. The endocytosis of HMGB1 triggers a cascade of molecular events, including cathepsin B release from ruptured lysosomes followed by pyroptosome formation and caspase-1 activation. We further confirm that HMGB1-induced macrophage pyroptosis also occurs in vivo during endotoxemia, suggesting a pathophysiological significance for this form of pyroptosis in the development of inflammation. These findings shed light on the regulatory role of ligand-receptor internalization in directing cell fate, which may have an important role in the progress of inflammation following infection and injury.Infection and injury, the most challenging factors to the survival of species throughout evolution, are still major causes of human death worldwide. Infection and severe trauma share many overlapping features in the mechanism of activation of the innate immune system through pathogen-associated molecular pattern molecules derived from microbes and damage-associated molecular pattern (DAMP) molecules released by damaged tissues.1, 2 High-mobility group box 1 (HMGB1), a highly conserved ubiquitous protein present in the nucleus and cytoplasm of nearly all cell types, is the prototypic DAMP molecule.3 During infection and sterile tissue injury, HMGB1 is released from cells and serves as a necessary and sufficient mediator of inflammation to induce a variety of cellular responses including cell chemotaxis and release of pro-inflammatory cytokines.4, 5 Inflammatory functions of HMGB1 are mediated by binding to the cell surface receptors, including the receptor for advanced glycation end products (RAGEs), Toll-like receptor (TLR)2, TLR4, and TLR9.6, 7RAGE is a type I transmembrane protein and a member of the immunoglobulin superfamily expressed in many cell populations, including endothelial cells, vascular smooth muscle cells, neurons, neutrophils, and macrophages/monocytes.8 RAGE has been implicated as a receptor mediating the chemotaxis and cytokine activity of HMGB1 in macrophages and tumor cells.7, 9, 10 RAGE engagement by multiple ligands is linked to a range of signaling pathways including activation of NF-κB,11, 12 PI3K/Akt,13 MAPKs,14, 15 Jak/STAT,16 and Rho GTPases,17 although how RAGE transduces the signaling is not fully addressed.Pyroptosis is a caspase-1-dependent programmed cell death, which is morphologically and mechanistically distinct from other forms of cell death such as apoptosis and necrosis.18 Previous observations suggested that pyroptosis features rapid plasma membrane rupture and release of proinflammatory intracellular contents, contrasting with the characteristic of apoptosis, which packs cellular contents and induces non-inflammatory phagocytic uptake of the apoptotic bodies by macrophages.19 Pyroptosis can be triggered by various pathological stimuli, such as microbial infection, stroke, heart attack, or cancer;18 however, the mechanism that underlies pyroptosis formation in response to inflammatory mediators remains unclear. In this study, we identify a novel pathway of HMGB1-induced pyroptosis. We demonstrate that HMGB1 acting through RAGE on macrophages triggers dynamin-dependent endocytosis of HMGB1, which in turn induces cell pyroptosis. The endocytosis of HMGB1 initiates a cascade of molecular events, including cathepsin B (CatB) activation and release from ruptured lysosomes, followed by pyroptosome formation and caspase-1 activation. We further confirm that this in vitro observation of HMGB1-induced macrophage pyroptosis also occurs in vivo during endotoxemia, suggesting a pathophysiological significance for pyroptosis in the development of inflammation. 相似文献

High-mobility group box protein 1 (HMGB1) is a non-histone nuclear protein that acts as a pro-inflammatory cytokine and is released by monocytes and macrophages. Necrotic cells also release HMGB1 at the site of tissue damage which induces a variety of cellular responses, including the expression of pro-inflammatory mediators. This study investigated the secretion of HMGB1 in mycobacterial infection by macrophages in vitro and in the lungs of infected guinea pigs. We observed that infection by mycobacterium effectively induced HMGB1 release in both macrophage and monocytic cell cultures. Culture filtrate proteins from Mycobacterium tuberculosis induced maximum release of HMGB1 compared with different subcellular fractions of mycobacterium. We demonstrated that HMGB1 is released in lungs during infection of M. tuberculosis in guinea pigs and increased HMGB1 secretion in lungs of guinea pigs was delayed by prior vaccination with Mycobacterium bovis BCG. The secretion of cytokines like tumour necrosis factor alpha (TNF-alpha) and Interleukin-1beta was significantly increased when M. bovis BCG-infected cultures of J774A.1 cells were incubated with HMGB1. Among different mycobacterial toll-like receptor ligands, heat-shock protein 65 (HSP65) was found to be more potent in inducing HMGB1 secretion in RAW 264.7 cells. Pharmacological suppression of p38 or extracellular signal-regulated kinase 1/2 mitogen-activated protein kinases with specific inhibitors failed to inhibit HSP65-induced HMGB1 release, but inhibition of c-Jun NH(2)-terminal kinase activation attenuated HMGB1 release. Inhibition of the inducible NO synthase and neutralizing antibodies against TNF-alpha also reduced HMGB1 release stimulated by HSP65. We conclude that HMGB1 is secreted by macrophages during tuberculosis and it may act as a signal of tissue or cellular injury and enhances immune response. 相似文献

Several clinical studies have shown that cyclosporin A (CsA) is effective for treating a variety of chronic inflammatory and autoimmune diseases. Because reactive oxygen species are believed to play a key role in the development of these diseases, causing cell apoptosis, we investigated whether CsA inhibits H2O2-induced apoptosis. Preincubation of human fibroblasts with CsA dose-dependently decreased H2O2-induced apoptosis. Apoptosis suppression by CsA was correlated with the prevention of mitochondrial dysfunction and caspase activation. Thus, our results suggest that the inhibition of apoptosis by CsA may at least partly contribute to the anti-inflammatory effect of CsA. 相似文献

Apamin is an integral part of bee venom, as a peptide component. It has long been known as a highly selective block Ca2+-activated K+ (SK) channels. However, the cellular mechanism and anti-fibrotic effect of apamin in TGF-β1-induced hepatocytes have not been explored. In the present study, we investigated the anti-fibrosis or anti-EMT mechanism by examining the effect of apamin on TGF-β1-induced hepatocytes. AML12 cells were seeded at ∼60% confluence in complete growth medium. Twenty-four hours later, the cells were changed to serum free medium containing the indicated concentrations of apamin. After 30 min, the cells were treated with 2 ng/ml of TGF-β1 and co-cultured for 48 h. Also, we investigated the effects of apamin on the CCl4-induced liver fibrosis animal model. Treatment of AML12 cells with 2 ng/ml of TGF-β1 resulted in loss of E-cadherin protein at the cell–cell junctions and concomitant increased expression of vimentin. In addition, phosphorylation levels of ERK1/2, Akt, Smad2/3 and Smad4 were increased by TGF-β1 stimulation. However, cells treated concurrently with TGF-β1 and apamin retained high levels of localized expression of E-cadherin and showed no increase in vimentin. Specifically, treatment with 2 μg/ml of apamin almost completely blocked the phosphorylation of ERK1/2, Akt, Smad2/3 and Smad4 in AML12 cells. In addition, apamin exhibited prevention of pathological changes in the CCl4-injected animal models. These results demonstrate the potential of apamin for the prevention of EMT progression induced by TGF-β1 in vitro and CCl4-injected in vivo. 相似文献

Loss of cardiomyocytes by apoptosis is proposed to cause ventricular remodeling and heart failure. Reactive oxygen species-induced apoptosis of cardiomyocytes has been reported to play an important role in many types of pathological processes of the heart. We investigated whether angiopoietin-1 (Ang1) has direct cytoprotective effects on cardiomyocytes against oxidative stress. Cultured H9c2 cells (cardiomyocytes) were treated with hydrogen peroxide (H(2)O(2)). Apoptosis was evaluated by flow cytometry, TUNEL assay and DNA laddering. The H(2)O(2) treatment caused typical apoptosis of H9c2 cells in a time-dependent manner. Transfection of recombinant adenovirus expressing Ang1 resulted in a sustained phosphorylation of AKT and inhibition of H(2)O(2)-induced apoptosis in H9c2 cells. This effect could be reversed by AKT inhibition. These results suggest that Ang1 protects cardiomyocytes from oxidative stress-induced apoptosis by regulating the activity of AKT. 相似文献

The cardiovascular benefit of fish oil in humans and experimental animals has been reported. Endothelin (ET)-1 is a well-known cardiac hypertrophic factor. However, although many studies link a fish oil extract, eicosapentaenoic acid (EPA), to cardiac protection, the effects of EPA on cardiac hypertrophy and underlying mechanism(s) are unclear. The present study investigated whether EPA prevents ET-1-induced cardiomyocyte hypertrophy; the potential pathways likely to underlie such an effect were also investigated. Cardiomyocytes were isolated from neonatal rat heart, cultured for 3 days, and then treated for 24 h with vehicle only (control), treated with 0.1 nM ET-1 only, or pretreated with 10 microM EPA and then treated with 0.1 nM ET-1. The cells were harvested, and changes in cell surface area, protein synthesis, expression of a cytoskeletal (alpha-actinin) protein, and cell signaling were analyzed. ET-1 induced a 97% increase in cardiomyocyte surface area, a 72% increase in protein synthesis rate, and an increase in expression of alpha-actinin and signaling molecule [transforming growth factor-beta 1 (TGF-beta 1), c-Jun NH2-terminal kinase (JNK), and c-Jun]. Development of these ET-1-induced cellular changes was attenuated by EPA. Moreover, the hypertrophied cardiomyocytes showed a 1.5- and a 1.7-fold increase in mRNA expression of atrial and brain natriuretic peptides, the classical molecular markers of cardiac hypertrophy, respectively; these changes were also suppressed by EPA. Here we show that ET-1 induces cardiomyocyte hypertrophy and expression of hypertrophic markers, possibly mediated by JNK and TGF-beta 1 signaling pathways. These ET-1-induced effects were blocked by EPA, a major fish oil ingredient, suggesting that fish oil may have beneficial protective effects on cardiac hypertrophy. 相似文献
