The effect of -alany-L-histidinato zinc (AHZ) on bone cell function was investigated in osteoblastic MC3T3-E1 cells. Cells were cultured for 3 days at 37°C in a CO2 incubator in plastic dishes containing -modified minimum essential medium supplemented with 10% fetal bovine serum. After the cultures, the medium was exchanged for that containing 0.1% bovine serum albumin plus AHZ (10–7–10–5 M) or other reagents, and the cells were cultured further for appropriate periods of time. The presence of AHZ (10–7–10–5 M) produced a remarkable increase of alkaline phosphatase activity and protein concentration in osteoblastic cells. Thus increases were seen with the prolonged cultivation (12–21 days). With the culture of 1, 3 and 12 days, the effect of AHZ (10–6 M) to increase alkaline phosphatase activity and protein concentration was more intensive than the effect of zinc sulfate, (10–6 M). The AHZ effects were completely abolished by the presence of cycloheximide (10–6 M), indicating that AHZ stimulates protein synthesis in the cells. The present study suggests that AHZ has a stimulatory effect on cell differentiation, and that this effect is partly involved on protein synthesis in osteoblastic cells. 相似文献

The effect of -alanyl-L-histidinato zinc (AHZ) on bone metabolism was investigated in osteoblastic MC3T3-El cells. Cells were cultured for 3 days at 37°C in a CO2 incubator in plastic dishes containing -modified minimum essential medium supplemented with 10% fetal bovine serum. After the cultures, the medium was exchanged for that containing 0.1% bovine serum albumin plus various concentrations of AHZ or other reagents, and the cells were cultured further for appropriate periods of time. The presence of AHZ (10–7–10–5M) stimulated the proliferation of cells. AHZ (10–6 and 10–5M) increased deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA) content in the cells with 48hr-culture. This increase was completely blocked by the presence of cycloheximide (10–6M) or hydroxyurea (10–3M). Also, the presence of cycloheximide (10–6M) completely inhibited the AHZ (10–5M)-induced increase in the proliferation of cells. Meanwhile, parathyroid hormone (10–7M), estrogen (10–9M) and insulin (10–M) significantly increased cellular DNA content. However, these hormonal effects clearly lowered in comparison with that of AHZ (10–5M). Dibutyryl cyclic AMP (10–4M) and zinc sulfate (10–5M) did not cause a significant increase in cellular DNA content. The present results support the view that AHZ has a direct specific proliferative effect on osteoblastic cellsin vitro and that this effect is dependent on protein synthesis. 相似文献

Oxidative stress represents a major cause of cellular damage and death in the process of osteoporosis. Antimycin A (AMA) has been shown to stimulate mitochondrial superoxide anions and reactive oxygen species (ROS). α-Lipoic acid (α-LA) is a naturally occurring essential coenzyme in mitochondrial multienzyme complexes and acts as a key player in mitochondrial energy production. However, whether α-LA affects the cytotoxicity of AMA in osteoblastic cells is unknown. In this study, we investigated the protective effects of α-LA against AMA-induced cytotoxicity using the MC3T3-E1 osteoblast-like cell line. Our results indicated that α-LA treatment attenuated AMA-induced cytotoxicity and LDH release in a dose-dependent manner. Notably, a significant recovery effect of α-LA on mineralization inhibited by AMA was found. Our results also demonstrated that treatment with 50 μM AMA leads to a reduction of mitochondrial membrane potential (MMP) and the complex IV dysfunction, which was inhibited by pretreatment with α-LA in a dose-dependent manner. In addition, treatment with α-LA significantly reduced the generation of ROS and mitochondrial superoxide production induced by AMA. In addition, our result suggests that PI3K/Akt and CREB pathways are related to the protective effect of α-LA. Importantly, Hoechst 33258 staining results indicated that pretreatment with α-LA prevented AMA-induced apoptosis. Mechanistically, we found that α-LA prevents MC3T3-E1 cells from apoptosis through attenuating cytochrome C release and reducing the level of cleaved caspase-3. 相似文献

Mouse osteoblastic cells MC3T3-E1 produced prostaglandin E2 via the reaction of cyclooxygenase-2 enzyme induced by tumor necrosis factor α (TNFα). Originally, the mRNA level for prostaglandin I2 receptor (IP) was low in the cells. However, the addition of TNFα brought about a marked increase in the IP mRNA with a lag of about 3 h up to an about 8-fold higher level for 24 h. In addition, the induction of IP was supported by a binding experiment of [3H]iloprost (a stable analogue of prostaglandin I2). The amount of iloprost bound to the TNFα-stimulated cell membranes increased to a saturation level around 30 nM. Dexamethasone, cycloheximide and cyclooxygenase inhibitor suppressed the IP mRNA induction. The finding with the latter two compounds suggested a TNFα-dependent de novo synthesis of a protein, which is involved in the IP mRNA induction and may be attributed partially to the induced cyclooxygenase-2. 相似文献

The effect of -alanyl-L-histidinato zinc (AHZ) on protein components in osteoblastic MC3T3-E1 cells was investigated. Cells were cultured for 3 days at 37°C in CO2 incubator in plastic dishes containing -modified minimum essential medium supplemented with 10% fetal bovine serum. After the cultures, the medium was exchanged for that containing 0.1% bovine serum albumin plus various concentrations of AHZ or other reagents, and the cells were cultured further 3 or 6 days. The homgenate of cells was analyzed with SDS-polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis (SDS-PAGE). The presence of AHZ (10–7 to 10–5 M) caused an appreciable increase of many protein components in cells. Especially, the 67 killo-dalton (kDa) and 44 kDa proteins which are the major components from control cells were clearly increased by the presence of AHZ. Furthermore, the concentrations of osteocalcin, insulin-like growth factor-I and transforming growth factor- in the culture medium secreted from osteoblastic cells were markedly increased by the presence of AHZ (10–6 and 10–5 M). The effect of AHZ was a greater than that of zinc sulfate (10–6 and 10–5 M). The present findings suggest that AHZ can increase many proteins which are involved in the stimulation of bone formation and cell proliferation in osteoblastic cells. 相似文献

Background
The complement component C3a induces degranulation in human mast cells via the activation of cell surface G protein coupled receptors (GPCR; C3aR). For most GPCRs, agonist-induced receptor phosphorylation leads to the recruitment of β-arrestin-1/β-arrestin-2; resulting in receptor desensitization and internalization. Activation of GPCRs also leads to ERK1/2 phosphorylation via two temporally distinct pathways; an early response that reflects G protein activation and a delayed response that is G protein independent but requires β-arrestins. The role of β-arrestins on C3aR activation/regulation in human mast cells, however, remains unknown.Methodology/Principal Findings
We utilized lentivirus short hairpin (sh)RNA to stably knockdown the expression of β-arrestin-1 and β-arrrestin-2 in human mast cell lines, HMC-1 and LAD2 that endogenously expresses C3aR. Silencing β-arrestin-2 attenuated C3aR desensitization, blocked agonist-induced receptor internalization and rendered the cells responsive to C3a for enhanced NF-κB activity as well as chemokine generation. By contrast, silencing β-arrestin-1 had no effect on these responses but resulted in a significant decrease in C3a-induced mast cell degranulation. In shRNA control cells, C3a caused a transient ERK1/2 phosphorylation, which peaked at 5 min but disappeared by 10 min. Knockdown of β-arrestin-1, β-arrestin-2 or both enhanced the early response to C3a and rendered the cells responsive for ERK1/2 phosphorylation at later time points (10–30 min). Treatment of cells with pertussis toxin almost completely blocked both early and delayed C3a-induced ERK1/2 phosphorylation in β-arrestin1/2 knockdown cells.Conclusion/Significance
This study demonstrates distinct roles for β-arrestins-1 and β-arrestins-2 on C3aR desensitization, internalization, degranulation, NF-κB activation and chemokine generation in human mast cells. It also shows that both β-arrestin-1 and β-arrestin-2 play a novel and shared role in inhibiting G protein-dependent ERK1/2 phosphorylation. These findings reveal a new level of complexity for C3aR regulation by β-arrestins in human mast cells. 相似文献7.

The canonical Wnt signaling pathway is a master cell regulator involved in CD8+ T cell proliferation and differentiation. In human CD8+ T cells, this pathway induces differentiation into memory cells or a “stem cell memory like” population, which is preferentially present in cord blood. To better understand the role of canonical Wnt signals in neonatal or adult blood, we compared the proteins associated with β-catenin, in nonstimulated and Wnt3a-stimulated human neonatal and adult naive CD8+ T cells. Differentially recruited proteins established different complexes in adult and neonatal cells. In the former, β-catenin-associated proteins were linked to cell signaling and immunological functions, whereas those of neonates were linked to proliferation and metabolism. Wnt3a stimulation led to the recruitment and overexpression of Wnt11 in adult cells and Wnt5a in neonatal cells, suggesting a differential connexion with planar polarity and Wnt/Ca2+ noncanonical pathways, respectively. The chromatin immunoprecipitation polymerase chain reaction β-catenin was recruited to a higher level on the promoters of cell renewal genes in neonatal cells and of differentiation genes in those of adults. We found a preferential association of β-catenin with CBP in neonatal cells and with p300 in the adult samples, which could be involved in a higher self-renewal capacity of the neonatal cells and memory commitment in those of adults. Altogether, our results show that different proteins associated with β-catenin during Wnt3a activation mediate a differential response of neonatal and adult human CD8+ T cells. 相似文献

The MDR3 protein is a transporter of phosphatidylcholine on the canalicular membrane of human hepatocytes. Previously we showed that the expression of MDR3 mRNA was down-regulated by phorbol 12-myristate 13-acetate (PMA) in human Chang liver cells. In the present study, to elucidate the isoform of protein kinase C (PKC), which influences the level of MDR3 protein, we investigated the effects of PKC-specific inhibitors and antisense oligonucleotides. The level of protein decreased around 50% after treatment for 3–5 days using the dosage of PMA effective against the mRNA expression. The half-life of the MDR3 protein was estimated to be about 5 days. This decrease was antagonized by GF109203X, a non-selective inhibitor of PKCs, and Gö6976, a selective inhibitor for PKCα/β. These inhibitors also suppressed the reduction in MDR3 protein. To specify the isoform of PKC, the cells were treated with antisense oligonucleotide of PKCα or PKCβ. The suppressive effects on MDR3 mRNA of PMA were attenuated in antisense PKCβ-treated cells, but those in antisense PKCα-treated cells were not attenuated. These suggested that PKCβ plays a regulatory role in the expression of MDR3. 相似文献

Recombinant human interleukin 1 (rhIL-1)α and rhIL-1β were examined for their effects on DNA synthesis, cell growth and alkaline phosphatase activity of the mouse osteoblastic cell line MC3T3-E1. The relative activity of rhIL-1α and rhIL-1β was compared in terms of the units which induced half-maximal [3H]thymidine uptake into mouse thymocyte cultures exposed to IL-1. Both rhIL-1α and rhIL-1β significantly inhibited DNA synthesis and division of the cells in a concentration- and cultivation time-dependent fashion. In contrast, rhIL-lα and rhIL-1β markedly increased alkaline phosphatase activity, which is a marker of osteoblastic differentiation. This activity in cells treated with rhIL-1α and rhIL-1β increased about 2.0- and 1.7-fold, respectively, compared with that of control cultures. Inhibition of the DNA synthesis and stimulation of alkaline phosphatase activity by both types of rhIL-1 were completely neutralized by treatment with their respective polyclonal antisera. Also, inhibition of DNA synthesis was unaffected by the addition of cyclooxygenase and lipoxygenase inhibitors, and stimulation of alkaline phosphatase activity was unaffected by the addition of indomethacin. These results indicate that both rhIL-1α and rhIL-1β have qualitatively similar biological effects on osteoblastic cells. They also suggest that IL-1 is an important modulator of the growth and differentiation of osteoblasts. 相似文献

The stable carbon and oxygen isotope ratios in cellulose of C3 and C4 plants growing on the surface of a montane peat bog
in the Nilgiri hills, southern India, were measured. The mean monthly δ13C values in cellulose of both C3 and C4 plants are found to be significantly related to rainfall, while the δ18O values are sensitive to changes in maximum temperature and relative humidity of the region. Further, higher δ18O values were observed in C4 plants compared to C3 plants, suggesting that C4 plants are probably less sensitive to relative
humidity as compared to C3 plants and are able to photosynthesize even during drier conditions. The plant isotope-climate
correlations thus established can be used for reconstructing the past temperature and rainfall conditions of the tropics from
the isotopic ratios of peat deposits, derived from a mixture of C3 and C4 plants in the region. 相似文献

Previous studies suggested that Protein L (PpL), the bacterial Ig-binding protein, activates mast cells. PpL presumably performs the activation by interacting with membrane-bound IgEκ, but the underlying mechanisms behind the process remain unclear. In the current study, we found that cell-surface FcεRI expression is a critical factor participant in PpL-mediated full activation of murine mast cells, which includes cytokine production, the degranulation response, and leukotriene C(4) (LTC(4)) release, and that engagement of the FcεRI with IgEκ and PpL is enough to induce tyrosine phosphorylation of ITAM in the FcRβ- and γ-signaling subunits. Introduction of mutations in two canonical tyrosine residues (Y47F/Y58F) of the FcRγ-ITAM completely abolished the above-mentioned mast cell functions, with the exception of LTC(4) release. Importantly, the FcRβ-ITAM acts as a signal transducer that is responsible for LTC(4) release independently of the FcRγ-ITAM. Taken together, our results suggest crucial and distinct functions for the FcRβ- and γ-ITAMs in the FcεRI-dependent full activation of mast cells induced by IgEκ and PpL. 相似文献

Cardiac allografts were used to compare the immunologic capacity of nude mice and adult, thymectomized, lethally irradiated, bone marrow-reconstituted (AT × BM) mice. Neither nude nor AT × BM mice were able to reject cardiac allografts of any party. However, both rejected grafts of any party following implantation of neonatal thymus or thymus from 3-week-old syngeneic mice. Irradiated syngeneic thymus grafts (800 R) were equally effective in restoring host responsiveness against allografts. In contrast, allogeneic thymus grafts restored the capacity to reject second-party heart grafts only in AT × BM mice. Second-party grafts persisted indefinitely when placed on nude mice implanted with an allogeneic, unirradiated thymus graft. Third-party grafts transplanted 17 weeks after reconstitution, however, were rejected. Irradiated nude mice given normal littermate bone marrow and simultaneously grafted with second-party thymus and heart allografts also failed to reject their second-party heart grafts. The difference in ultimate capacity to respond between AT × BM and nude mice suggests that a maturational defect exists in the nude mouse enviroment which impedes development of precursor T lymphocytes. 相似文献

The long-term maintenance of memory CD4 T cells promotes protective immunity against future pathogen reinfection. As a site rich in survival cytokines, the bone marrow is proposed to be a critical niche for the survival of memory CD4 T cells. We demonstrate that endogenous, polyclonal Ag-specific CD4 T cells rapidly enter and are recovered long-term from the bone marrow following i.v. infection with Listeria monocytogenes. β(1) integrin-deficient CD4 T cells also populate the bone marrow early following an infection, but their numbers in this site rapidly decline. This decline was not caused by increased death of T cells lacking β(1) integrin but rather by reduced retention in the bone marrow after the primary immune response. The loss of memory CD4 T cells from the bone marrow does not lead to a loss of the predominant source of memory CD4 T cells in the spleen or the ability to mount a memory response. Thus, β(1) integrin-dependent maintenance of memory CD4 T cells in the bone marrow is not required for long-term CD4 T cell memory. 相似文献
