我们以往的研究工作证实了硫化氢(hydrogen sulfide,H2S)对甲醛神经毒性和氧化应激具有拮抗作用.Paraoxonase-1(PON-1)是机体重要的内源性抗氧化剂.本研究的目的是探讨PON-1是否可介导H2S的抗甲醛神经毒性作用.采用甲醛损伤PC12细胞为甲醛神经毒性的细胞模型.硫氢化钠(NaHS,一种H2S的供体)不仅可以上调PC12细胞PON-1的活力,还可恢复甲醛对PC12细胞PON-1表达与活力的抑制作用.2-hydroxyquinoline(2-HQ)是一种选择性PON-1抑制剂,它可显著降低H2S对甲醛细胞毒性、凋亡和活性氧(reactive oxygen species,ROS)累积的抑制作用.而且,2-HQ可阻止H2S逆转甲醛激活PC12细胞caspase-3和下调PC12细胞bcl-2表达.结果提示H2S依赖PON-1去保护PC12细胞对抗甲醛的神经毒性.我们的这一发现表明PON-1有希望成为防治甲醛神经损伤的新靶点. 相似文献

Asymmetric dimethylarginine (ADMA), an endogenous nitric oxide synthase (NOS) inhibitor, is profoundly protective against
1-methy-4-phenylpyridinium ion (MPP+)-induced neurotoxicity. Reactive oxygen species (ROS) overproduction contributes to the neurotoxicity of MPP+; while hydrogen sulfide (H2S) is a pivotal endogenous antioxidant. This study is to assess the potential role of endogenous H2S in the neuroprotection of ADMA against MPP+-induced toxicity in PC12 cells. We showed that ADMA prevented MPP+-induced inhibition of endogenous H2S generation through inhibiting the down-regulation of cystathionine-β-synthetase (CBS, the major enzyme responsible for endogenous
H2S generation in PC12 cells) expression and activity elicited by MPP+. ADMA obviously attenuated MPP+-triggered accumulation of intracellular ROS, dissipation of mitochondrial membrane potential (MMP), release of cytochrome
c (Cyt-c), and downregulation of Bcl-2 protein expression in PC12 cells. Inhibition of CBS activity by amino-oxyacetate and
CBS silencing with a short hairpin RNA vector targeting rat CBS gene reversed the protective action of ADMA against MPP+-caused cytotoxicity, ROS overproduction, and MMP loss in PC12 cells. These results indicate that the protection of ADMA against
MPP+-mediated neurotoxicity involves the melioration of MPP+-induced inhibition of endogenous H2S generation. Our findings suggest that modulation of H2S production provide new therapeutic targets for the treatment of neurodegenerative disease, such as Parkinson’s disease. 相似文献

Hydrogen sulfide (H(2)S) has been shown to act as a neuroprotectant and antioxidant. Numerous studies have demonstrated that exposure to formaldehyde (FA) causes neuronal damage and that oxidative stress is one of the most critical effects of FA exposure. Accumulation of FA is involved in the pathogenesis of Alzheimer's disease (AD). The aim of present study is to explore the inhibitory effects of H(2)S on FA-induced cytotoxicity and apoptosis and the molecular mechanisms underlying in PC12 cells. We show that sodium hydrosulfide (NaHS), a H(2)S donor, protects PC12 cells against FA-mediated cytotoxicity and apoptosis and that NaHS preserves the function of mitochondria by preventing FA-induced loss of mitochondrial membrane potential and release of cytochrome c in PC12 cells. Furthermore, NaHS blocks FA-exerted accumulation of intracellular reactive oxygen species (ROS), down-regulation of Bcl-2 expression, and up-regulation of Bax expression. These results indicate that H(2)S protects neuronal cells against neurotoxicity of FA by preserving mitochondrial function through attenuation of ROS accumulation, up-regulation of Bcl-2 level, and down-regulation of Bax expression. Our study suggests a promising future of H(2)S-based preventions and therapies for neuronal damage after FA exposure. 相似文献

Hydrogen sulfide (H2S), a gasotransmitter, exerts both neurotoxicity and neuroprotection, and targets multiple molecules including NMDA receptors, T-type calcium channels and NO synthase (NOS) that might affect neuronal viability. Here, we determined and characterized effects of NaHS, an H2S donor, on cell viability in the primary cultures of mouse fetal cortical neurons. NaHS caused neuronal death, as assessed by LDH release and trypan blue staining, but did not significantly reduce the glutamate toxicity. The neurotoxicity of NaHS was resistant to inhibitors of NMDA receptors, T-type calcium channels and NOS, and was blocked by inhibitors of MEK, but not JNK, p38 MAP kinase, PKC and Src. NaHS caused prompt phosphorylation of ERK and upregulation of Bad, followed by translocation of Bax to mitochondria and release of mitochondrial cytochrome c, leading to the nuclear condensation/fragmentation. These effects of NaHS were suppressed by the MEK inhibitor. Our data suggest that the NMDA receptor-independent neurotoxicity of H2S involves activation of the MEK/ERK pathway and some apoptotic mechanisms. 相似文献

Background
A gasotransmitter hydrogen sulfide (H2S) plays an important physiological and pathological role in cardiovascular system. Ischemic post-conditioning (PC) provides cardioprotection in the young hearts but not in the aged hearts. Exogenous H2S restores PC-induced cardioprotection by inhibition of mitochondrial permeability transition pore opening and oxidative stress and increase of autophagy in the aged hearts. However, whether H2S contributes to the recovery of PC-induced cardioprotection via down-regulation of endoplasmic reticulum stress (ERS) in the aged hearts is unclear.Methods
The aged H9C2 cells (the cardiomyocytes line) were induced using H2O2 and were exposed to H/R and PC protocols. Cell viability was observed by CCK-8 kit. Apoptosis was detected by Hoechst 33342 staining and flow cytometry. Related protein expressions were detected through Western blot.Results
In the present study, we found that 30 μM H2O2 induced H9C2 cells senescence but not apoptosis. Supplementation of NaHS protected against H/R-induced apoptosis, the expression of cleaved caspase-3 and cleaved caspase-9 and the release of cytochrome c. The addition of NaHS also counteracted the reduction of cell viability caused by H/R and decreased the expression of GRP 78, CHOP, cleaved caspase-12, ATF 4, ATF 6 and XBP-1 and the phosphorylation of PERK, eIF 2α and IRE 1α. Additionally, NaHS increased Bcl-2 expression. PC alone did not provide cardioprotection in H/R-treated aged cardiomyocytes, which was significantly restored by the supplementation of NaHS. The beneficial role of NaHS was similar to the supply of 4-PBA (an inhibitor of ERS), GSK2656157 (an inhibitor of PERK), STF083010 (an inhibitor of IRE 1α), respectively, during PC.Conclusion
Our results suggest that the recovery of myocardial protection from PC by exogenous H2S is associated with the inhibition of ERS via down-regulating PERK-eIF 2α-ATF 4, IRE 1α-XBP-1 and ATF 6 pathways in the aged cardiomyocytes.6.

This study investigated whether slow-releasing organic hydrogen sulfide donors act through the same mechanisms as those of inorganic donors to protect neurons from oxidative stress. By inducing oxidative stress in a neuronal cell line HT22 with glutamate, we investigated the protective mechanisms of the organic donors: ADT-OH [5-(4-hydroxyphenyl)-3H-1,2-dithiole-3-thione], the most widely used moiety for synthesizing slow-releasing hydrogen sulfide donors, and ADT, a methyl derivative of ADT-OH. The organic donors were more potent than the inorganic donor sodium hydrogensulfide (NaHS) in protecting HT22 cells against glutamate toxicity. Consistent with previous publications, NaHS partially restored glutamate-depleted glutathione (GSH) levels, protected HT22 from direct free radical damage induced by hydrogen peroxide (H2O2), and NaHS protection was abolished by a KATP channel blocker glibenclamide. However, neither ADT nor ADT-OH enhanced glutamate-depleted GSH levels or protected HT22 from H2O2-induced oxidative stress. Glibenclamide, which abolished NaHS neuroprotection against oxidative stress, did not block ADT and ADT-OH neuroprotection against glutamate-induced oxidative stress. Unexpectedly, we found that glutamate induced AMPK activation and that compound C, a well-established AMPK inhibitor, remarkably protected HT22 from glutamate-induced oxidative stress, suggesting that AMPK activation contributed to oxidative glutamate toxicity. Interestingly, all hydrogen sulfide donors, including NaHS, remarkably attenuated glutamate-induced AMPK activation. However, under oxidative glutamate toxicity, compound C only increased the viability of HT22 cells treated with NaHS, but did not further increase ADT and ADT-OH neuroprotection. Thus, suppressing AMPK activation likely contributed to ADT and ADT-OH neuroprotection. In conclusion, hydrogen sulfide donors acted through differential mechanisms to confer neuroprotection against oxidative toxicity and suppressing AMPK activation was a possible mechanism underlying neuroprotection of organic hydrogen sulfide donors against oxidative toxicity. 相似文献

A series of thieno[2,3-d]pyrimidine alkyne Mannich base derivatives (7a-e, 8a-e) and thieno[2,3-d]pyrimidine 1,3,4-oxadiazole derivatives (9a-e, 10a-e) have been synthesized and evaluated for their neuroprotective and neurotoxicity activities where 9a, 10d displayed good neuroprotection 10.6 and 11.88?µg/mL respectively against the H2O2 induced cell death at the EC50 values and 9b, 9d showed respective toxic effects on PC12 cells at CC50 86.12 and 94.16?µg/mL. Compounds 9a, 9e, 10a and 10b showed strong antibacterial activity against two gram positive (S. aureus, B. subtilis) and two gram-negative strains (E. coli, P. aeruginosa) and showed good binding affinities with C(30) carotenoid dehydrosqualene synthase, Gyrase A and LpxC. This is the first report for the demonstration of thieno[2,3-d] pyrimidine derivatives as promising neuroprotective agents against H2O2 induced neurotoxicity on PC12 cells. 相似文献

The neurodegenerative processes that underlie Alzheimer''s disease are mediated, in part, by soluble oligomeric amyloid β, a neurotoxic protein that inhibits hippocampal long-term potentiation, disrupts synaptic plasticity, and induces the production of reactive oxygen species. Here we show that the sphingosine-1-phosphate (S1P) receptor (S1PR) agonist fingolimod phosphate (FTY720-P)-a new oral drug for multiple sclerosis-protects neurons against oligomeric amyloid β-induced neurotoxicity. We confirmed that primary mouse cortical neurons express all of the S1P receptor subtypes and FTY720-P directly affects the neurons. Treatment with FTY720-P enhanced the expression of brain-derived neurotrophic factor (BDNF) in neurons. Moreover, blocking BDNF-TrkB signaling with a BDNF scavenger, TrkB inhibitor, or ERK1/2 inhibitor almost completely ablated these neuroprotective effects. These results suggested that the neuroprotective effects of FTY720-P are mediated by upregulated neuronal BDNF levels. Therefore, FTY720-P may be a promising therapeutic agent for neurodegenerative diseases, such as Alzheimer''s disease. 相似文献

BDNF and its specialized receptor TrkB are expressed in the developing lateral line system of zebrafish, but their role in this organ is unknown. To tackle this problem in vivo, we used transgenic animals expressing fluorescent markers in different cell types of the lateral line and combined a BDNF gain-of-function approach by BDNF mRNA overexpression and by soaking embryos in a solution of BDNF, with a loss-of-function approach by injecting the antisence ntrk2b-morpholino and treating embryos with the specific Trk inhibitor K252a. Subsequent analysis demonstrated that the BDNF-TrkB axis regulates migration of the lateral line primordium. In particular, BDNF-TrkB influences the expression level of components of chemokine signaling including Cxcr4b, and the generation of progenitors of mechanoreceptors, at the level of expression of Atoh1a-Atp2b1a. 相似文献

Long-time glucocorticoids (GCs) usage causes osteoporosis. In the present study, we explored the potential role of hydrogen sulfide (H2S) against dexamethasone (Dex)-induced osteoblast cell damage, and focused on the underlying mechanisms. We showed that two H2S-producing enzymes, cystathionine β-synthase (CBS) and cystathionine γ-lyase (CSE), were significantly downregulated in human osteonecrosis tissues as well as in Dex-treated osteoblastic MC3T3-E1 cells. H2S donor NaHS as well as the CBS activator S-adenosyl-l-methionine (SAM) inhibited Dex-induced viability reduction, death and apoptosis in MC3T3-E1 cells. NaHS activated adenosine monophosphate (AMP)-activated protein kinase (AMPK) signaling, which participated its cyto-protective activity. AMPK inhibition by its inhibitor (compound C) or reduction by targeted-shRNA suppressed its pro-survival activity against Dex in MC3T3-E1 cells. Further, we found that NaHS inhibited Dex-mediated reactive oxygen species (ROS) production and ATP depletion. Such effects by NaHS were again inhibited by compound C and AMPKα1-shRNA. In summary, we show that H2S inhibits Dex-induced osteoblast damage through activation of AMPK signaling. H2S signaling might be further investigated as a novel target for anti-osteoporosis treatment. 相似文献

Trypanosome trans-sialidase (TS) is a sialic acid-transferring enzyme and a novel ligand of tyrosine kinase (TrkA) receptors but not of neurotrophin receptor p75NTR. Here, we show that TS targets TrkB receptors on TrkB-expressing pheochromocytoma PC12 cells and colocalizes with TrkB receptor internalization and phosphorylation (pTrkB). Wild-type TS but not the catalytically inactive mutant TSDeltaAsp98-Glu induces pTrkB and mediates cell survival responses against death caused by oxidative stress in TrkA- and TrkB-expressing cells like those seen with nerve growth factor (NGF) and brain-derived neurotrophic factor (BDNF). These same effects are not observed in Trk deficient PC12(nnr5) cells, but are re-established in PC12(nnr5) cells stably transfected with TrkA or TrkB, are partially blocked by inhibitors of tyrosine kinase (K-252a), mitogen-activated protein/mitogen-activated kinase (PD98059) and completely blocked by LY294002, an inhibitor of phosphatidylinositol 3-kinase (PI3K). Both TrkA- and TrkB-expressing cells pretreated with TS or their natural ligands are protected against cell death caused by serum/glucose deprivation or from hypoxia-induced neurite retraction. The cell survival effects of NGF and BDNF against oxidative stress are significantly inhibited by the neuraminidase inhibitor, Tamiflu. Together, these observations suggest that trypanosome TS mimics neurotrophic factors in cell survival responses against oxidative stress, hypoxia-induced neurite retraction and serum/glucose deprivation. 相似文献

AbstractHydrogen sulfide (H2S) shows antioxidative, anti-inflammatory, antiapoptotic, and cytoprotective effects in kidneys. Recently, H2S has been reported to alleviate uranium-induced rat nephrotoxicity through oxidative stress and inflammatory response via Nrf2-NF-κB pathways. Here, the protective effect and molecular mechanism of H2S on uranium-induced apoptosis were examined in normal rat kidney proximal cells (NRK-52E) in vitro. The results indicate that NaHS (an H2S donor) administration in uranium-intoxicated kidney cells ameliorated uranium-induced reactive oxygen species generation, caspase-3-dependent apoptosis, and endoplasmic reticulum (ER) stress identified through several key markers including GRP78, C/EBP homologous protein (CHOP), and caspase-12. NaHS treatment in uranium-intoxicated kidney cells abolished the effects of uranium on Akt phosphorylation, GSK-3β activation, increased Fyn nuclear expression, and concomitantly decreased Nrf2 nuclear expression. NaHS administration in uranium-treated kidney cells resorted uranium-decreased the expression of two key subunit PSMA6 and PSMB7 in 20S proteasome. But, DRB (an Nrf2 inhibitor) administration abrogated the effects of NaHS on PSMA6 and PSMB7 expression in uranium-contaminated kidney cells. Bortezomib (a proteasome inhibitor) treatment in NaHS pulsing uranium cotreated kidney cells reversed the effects of NaHS on not only PSMA6 and PSMB7 but also GRP78 and CHOP. Taken together, all data suggest that H2S can attenuate uranium-induced kidney cell apoptosis mediated by ER stress via 20S proteasome involving in Akt/GSK-3β/Fyn-Nrf2 signaling axis. 相似文献

We have demonstrated the neuroprotection of hydrogen sulfide (H2S) against chemical hypoxia-induced injury by inhibiting p38MAPK pathway. The present study attempts to evaluate the effect of H2S on chemical hypoxia-induced inflammation responses and its mechanisms in PC12 cells. We found that treatment of PC12 cells with cobalt chloride (CoCl2, a hypoxia mimetic agent) enhanced IL-6 secretion, nitric oxide (NO) generation and expression levels of inducible nitric oxide synthase (iNOS) and neuronal nitric oxide synthase (nNOS). L-canavanine, a selective iNOS inhibitor, partly blocked CoCl2-induced cytotoxicity, apoptosis and mitochondrial insult. In addition, 7-Nitroindazole (7-NI), an inhibitor of nNOS, also partly attenuated the CoCl2-induced cytotoxicity. The inhibition of p38MAPK by SB203580 (a selective p38MAPK inhibitor) or genetic silencing of p38MAPK by RNAi (Si-p38) depressed not only CoCl2-induced iNOS expression, NO production, but also IL-6 secretion. In addition, N-acetyl-l-cysteine, a reactive oxygen species (ROS) scavenger, conferred a similar protective effect of SB203580 or Si-p38 against CoCl2-induced inflammatory responses. Importantly, pretreatment of PC12 cells with exogenous application of sodium hydrosulfide (a H2S donor, 400 μmol/l) for 30 min before exposure to CoCl2 markedly attenuated chemical hypoxia-stimulated iNOS and nNOS expression, NO generation and IL-6 secretion as well as p38MAPK phosphorylation in PC12 cells. Taken together, we demonstrated that p38MAPK-iNOS pathway contributes to chemical hypoxia-induced inflammation and that H2S produces an anti-inflammatory effect in chemical hypoxia-stimulated PC12 cells, which may be partly due to inhibition of ROS-activated p38MAPK-iNOS pathway. 相似文献

Delivery of optimal amounts of brain-derived neurotrophic factor (BDNF) to regions of the brain affected by neurodegenerative diseases is a daunting task. Using natural products with neuroprotective properties, such as green tea polyphenols, would be a highly useful complementary approach for inexpensive long-term treatment of these diseases. In this study, we used PC12(TrkB) cells which ectopically express TrkB, a high affinity receptor for BDNF. They differentiate and induce neurite outgrowth in response to BDNF. Using this model, we show for the first time that treatment with extremely low concentrations (<0.1 μg/ml) of unfractionated green tea polyphenols (GTPP) and low concentrations (<0.5 μM) of their active ingredient, epigallocatechin-3-gallate (EGCG), potentiated the neuritogenic ability of a low concentration (2 ng/ml) of BDNF. A synergistic interaction was observed between GTPP constituents, where epigallocatechin and epicatechin, both individually lacking this activity, promoted the action of EGCG. GTPP-induced potentiation of BDNF action required the cell-surface associated 67 kDa laminin receptor (67LR) to which EGCG binds with high affinity. A cell-permeable catalase abolished GTPP/EGCG-induced potentiation of BDNF action, suggesting the possible involvement of H2O2 in the potentiation. Consistently, exogenous sublethal concentrations of H2O2, added as a bolus dose (5 μM) or more effectively through a steady-state generation (1 μM), potentiated BDNF action. Collectively, these results suggest that EGCG, dependent on 67LR and H2O2, potentiates the neuritogenic action of BDNF. Intriguingly, this effect requires only submicromolar concentrations of EGCG. This is significant as extremely low concentrations of polyphenols are believed to reach the brain after drinking green tea. 相似文献

Abstract: A clonal cell line stably expressing trkB (TrkB/PC12) was established from rat pheochromocytoma PC12 cells. Brain-derived neurotrophic factor (BDNF), as well as nerve growth factor (NGF), stimulates neurite outgrowth in TrkB/PC12 cells. However, the morphology of BDNF-differentiated cells was clearly different from NGF-differentiated cells. BDNF treatment brought about longer and thicker neurites and induced a flattened soma and an increase in somatic size. This is not explained enough by the quantitative difference in the strength between TrkA and TrkB stimulation, because the level of BDNF-stimulated tyrosine phosphorylation of TrkB was similar to that of TrkA stimulated with NGF in PC12/TrkB cells. There was no difference in major tyrosine phosphorylated proteins induced by NGF and BDNF. Signal proteins such as phosphatidylinositol 3-kinase, phospholipase C-γ1, Shc, and mitogen-activated protein kinase seem to be involved in both TrkA- and TrkB-mediated signaling pathways. However, a tyrosine-phosphorylated 38-kDa protein (pp38) was detected in anti-pan-Trk immunoprecipitation only after NGF stimulation. Immunoprecipitation using three distinct anti-pan-Trk antibodies suggests that pp38 is not a fragment of TrkA. These data indicate that TrkA has a unique signal transduction pathway that is not stimulated through TrkB in TrkB/PC12 cells and suggest distinct functions among neurotrophin receptors. 相似文献

Brain-derived neurotrophic factor (BDNF) is involved in regulating the growth of ovarian follicles, maturation of the oocyte, and development of the early embryo through its receptor, tyrosine kinase receptor B (TrkB). However, it is still unclear as to how BDNF influences proliferation and steroidogenesis of bovine granulosa cells (GCs). In this paper, we confirmed that BDNF and TrkB were expressed in bovine GCs, and that proliferation and steroidogenesis by bovine GCs were reduced by knockdown of BDNF or inhibition of TrkB. With respect to GC proliferation, BDNF enhanced cellular viability and the percentage of cells in the S phase. BDNF also activated both protein kinase B (PKB, also known as AKT) and the extracellular signal-regulated protein kinase 1/2 (ERK1/2)-signaling pathway. Through the AKT-signaling pathway, BDNF increased the expression of proliferation-related genes, including cyclin A1 (CCNA1), cyclin E2 (CCNE2), cyclin D1 (CCND1), and cyclin-dependent kinase 1 (CDK1). However, through the ERK1/2 signaling pathway, BDNF only increased the expression of CCNA1 and CCNE2. Regarding steroidogenesis by bovine GCs, BDNF promoted progesterone (P 4) synthesis, but had no effect on estradiol; it also activated the AKT-signaling pathway and increased the expression of steroidogenesis-related genes, including steroidogenic acute regulatory protein (STAR) and hydroxy-δ-5-steroid dehydrogenase, 3β- and steroid δ-isomerase 1 (HSD3B1). In summary, our data are the first to show that BDNF promotes the proliferation of bovine GCs through TrkB–AKT and ERK1/2 signaling pathways and increases P4 synthesis by bovine GCs through the TrkB–AKT signaling pathway. 相似文献

Hydrogen sulfide (H2S) plays an important role in human physiology, exerting vasodilatory, neuromodulatory and anti-inflammatory effects. H2S has been implicated in the mechanism of gastrointestinal integrity but whether this gaseous mediator can affect hemorrhagic lesions induced by stress has been little elucidated. We studied the effect of the H2S precursor L-cysteine, H2S-donor NaHS, the H2S synthesizing enzyme (CSE) activity inhibitor- D,L-propargylglycine (PAG) and the gastric H2S production by CSE/CBS/3-MST activity in water immersion and restraint stress (WRS) ulcerogenesis and the accompanying changes in gastric blood flow (GBF). The role of endogenous prostaglandins (PGs) and sensory afferent nerves releasing calcitonin gene-related peptide (CGRP) in the mechanism of gastroprotection induced by H2S was examined in capsaicin-denervated rats and those pretreated with capsazepine to inhibit activity of vanilloid receptors (VR-1). Rats were pretreated with vehicle, NaHS, the donor of H2S and or L-cysteine, the H2S precursor, with or without the concurrent treatment with 1) nonselective (indomethacin) and selective cyclooxygenase (COX)-1 (SC-560) or COX-2 (rofecoxib) inhibitors. The expression of mRNA and protein for COX-1 and COX-2 were analyzed in gastric mucosa pretreated with NaHS with or without PAG. Both NaHS and L-cysteine dose-dependently attenuated severity of WRS-induced gastric lesions and significantly increased GBF. These effects were significantly reduced by pretreatment with PAG and capsaicin denervation. NaHS increased gastric H2S production via CSE/CBS but not 3-MST activity. Inhibition of COX-1 and COX-2 activity significantly diminished NaHS- and L-cysteine-induced protection and hyperemia. NaHS increased expression of COX-1, COX-2 mRNAs and proteins and raised CGRP mRNA expression. These effects of NaHS on COX-1 and COX-2 protein contents were reversed by PAG and capsaicin denervation. We conclude that H2S exerts gastroprotection against WRS-induced gastric lesions by the mechanism involving enhancement in gastric microcirculation mediated by endogenous PGs, sensory afferent nerves releasing CGRP and the activation of VR-1 receptors. 相似文献

Hydrogen sulfide (H2S), a gasotransmitter, is formed from l-cysteine by multiple enzymes including cystathionine-γ-lyase (CSE). We have shown that an H2S donor, NaHS, causes hyperalgesia in rodents, an effect inhibited by knockdown of Cav3.2 T-type Ca2+ channels (T-channels), and that NaHS facilitates T-channel-dependent currents (T-currents) in NG108-15 cells that naturally express Cav3.2. In the present study, we asked if endogenous and exogenous H2S participates in regulation of the channel functions in Cav3.2-transfected HEK293 (Cav3.2-HEK293) cells. dl-Propargylglycine (PPG), a CSE inhibitor, significantly decreased T-currents in Cav3.2-HEK293 cells, but not in NG108-15 cells. NaHS at 1.5 mM did not affect T-currents in Cav3.2-HEK293 cells, but enhanced T-currents in NG108-15 cells. In the presence of PPG, NaHS at 1.5 mM, but not 0.1–0.3 mM, increased T-currents in Cav3.2-HEK293 cells. Similarly, Na2S, another H2S donor, at 0.1–0.3 mM significantly increased T-currents in the presence, but not absence, of PPG in Cav3.2-HEK293 cells. Expression of CSE was detected at protein and mRNA levels in HEK293 cells. Intraplantar administration of Na2S, like NaHS, caused mechanical hyperalgesia, an effect blocked by NNC 55-0396, a T-channel inhibitor. The in vivo potency of Na2S was higher than NaHS. These results suggest that the function of Cav3.2 T-channels is tonically enhanced by endogenous H2S synthesized by CSE in Cav3.2-HEK293 cells, and that exogenous H2S is capable of enhancing Cav3.2 function when endogenous H2S production by CSE is inhibited. In addition, Na2S is considered a more potent H2S donor than NaHS in vitro as well as in vivo. 相似文献

We found that brain-derived neurotrophic factor (BDNF)-induced phosphorylation of mitogen-activated protein kinase (MAPK) and Akt in cerebellar granule neurons was specifically potentiated by LPC. LPC also augmented the BDNF-induced phosphorylation of TrkB, the receptor for BDNF. In TrkB-transfected CHO-K1 cells, LPC potentiated BDNF-induced MAPK phosphorylation. These results suggest that LPC plays a role in BDNF-TrkB signaling by regulating the activation of TrkB. 相似文献
