To find out potent inhibitors of S-adenosylhomocysteine hydrolase (SAHase), several deazaadenosine analogues synthesized in this laboratory and some naturally occurring nucleoside analogues were examined with SAHases from yellow lupin seeds and rabbit liver. Neplanocin A, an antibiotic, inhibited both enzymes more potently than aristeromycin which was also an antibiotic and known as one of the most potent inhibitors of SAHase. The 3-deazaadenine derivatives (2'-deoxy, arabinosyl, xylosyl) inactivated lupin SAHase as potent as 3-deazaadenosine. Whereas, inhibitory activities of 1-deazaadenosine, its derivatives, and 7-deazaadenosine (tubercidin) were very weak. 相似文献

Extracellular ATP, adenosine (Ado), and adenosine plus homocysteine (Ado/HC) cause apoptosis of cultured pulmonary artery endothelial cells through the enhanced formation of intracellular S-adenosylhomocysteine and disruption of focal adhesion complexes. Because an increased intracellular ratio of S-adenosylhomocysteine/S-adenosylmethionine favors inhibition of methylation, we hypothesized that Ado/HC might act by inhibition of isoprenylcysteine-O-carboxyl methyltransferase (ICMT). We found that N-acetyl-S-geranylgeranyl-L-cysteine (AGGC) and N-acetyl-S-farnesyl-L-cysteine (AFC), which inhibit ICMT by competing with endogenous substrates for methylation, caused apoptosis. Transient overexpression of ICMT inhibited apoptosis caused by Ado/HC, UV light exposure, or tumor necrosis factor-alpha. Because the small GTPase, Ras, is a substrate for ICMT and may modulate apoptosis, we also hypothesized that inhibition of ICMT with Ado/HC or AGGC might cause endothelial apoptosis by altering Ras activation. We found that ICMT inhibition decreased Ras methylation and activity and the activation of the downstream signaling molecules Akt, ERK-1, and ERK-2. Furthermore, overexpression of wild-type or dominant active H-Ras blocked Ado/HC-induced apoptosis. These findings suggest that inhibition of ICMT causes endothelial cell apoptosis by attenuation of Ras GTPase methylation and activation and its downstream antiapoptotic signaling pathway. 相似文献

The ability of 2-chloroadenosine (2Cl Ado) to modulate lymphocyte function was examined in culture and in vivo. Mitogenic stimulation of B cell DNA synthesis was antagonized by 2Cl Ado while adenosine produced both stimulations and inhibitions. In culture, 2Cl Ado was found to suppress antibody production to sheep erythrocytes (SRBC) regardless of whether the nucleoside was added at the initiation of culture or 48 hours after sensitization. Inhibiting adenosine deaminase (ADA) did not affect the response to 2Cl Ado, and 1-homocysteine thiolactone was found to potentiate the inhibition suggesting formation of S-adenosylhomocysteine. Similar responses were found with adenosine provided ADA was inhibited. When 2Cl Ado was administered to mice 3-4 days after SRBC, a concentration-dependent decrease in antibody producing cells was observed. These data suggest that nucleosides can inhibit antibody production by inhibiting transmethylation reactions. 2Cl Ado appears to be an effective immunosuppressant without concomitant cytotoxicity both in culture and in vivo. 相似文献

Effects of the S-adenosylhomocysteine hydrolase inhibitors 3-deazaadenosine and 3-deazaaristeromycin on RNA methylation and synthesis 总被引:2,自引:0,他引:2
The effects of 3-deazaaristeromycin and 3-deazaadenosine on RNA methylation and synthesis were examined in the mouse macrophage cell line, RAW264. S-Adenosylhomocysteine accumulated in cells incubated with 3-deazaaristeromycin while S-3-deazaadenosylhomocysteine was the major product in cells incubated with 3-deazaadenosine and homocysteine thiolactone. RNA methylation was inhibited to a similar extent by the accumulation of either S-adenosylhomocysteine or S-3-deazaadenosylhomocysteine, with S-adenosylhomocysteine being a slightly better inhibitor. In mRNA, the synthesis of N6-methyladenosine and N6-methyl-2'-O-methyladenosine were inhibited to the greatest extent, while the synthesis of 7-methylguanosine and 2'-O-methyl nucleosides were inhibited to a lesser extent. Incubation of cells with 100 microM 3-deazaaristeromycin or with 10 microM 3-deazaadenosine and 50 microM homocysteine thiolactone produced little inhibition of mRNA synthesis, even though mRNA methylation was inhibited. In contrast, mRNA synthesis was greatly inhibited by treatment of cells with 100 microM 3-deazaadenosine and the inhibition of synthesis was not correlated with an inhibition of methylation. 相似文献

Proinflammatory cytokines such as tumor necrosis factor (TNF) and interleukin (IL)-1 activate the NF-kappaB signaling pathway which induces the expression of a variety of genes such as the encoding intercellular adhesion molecule (ICAM)-1. We have found that E-73, an acetoxyl analogue of cycloheximide, specifically blocks TNF-induced ICAM-1 expression even at concentrations unable to affect protein synthesis. By contrast, cycloheximide inhibited both TNF- and IL-1-induced ICAM-1 expression primarily due to the blockage of protein synthesis. The nuclear translocation of NF-kappaB as well as the IkappaB degradation induced by TNF, but not by IL-1, was significantly prevented by E-73. These observations suggest that E-73 blocks the TNF-induced NF-kappaB signaling pathway upstream of IkappaB degradation. 相似文献

Ever since the S-adenosylhomocysteine (AdoHcy, SAH) hydrolase was recognized as a pharmacological target for antiviral agents (J. A. Montgomery et al., J. Med. Chem. 25:626-629, 1982), an increasing number of adenosine, acyclic adenosine, and carbocyclic adenosine analogues have been described as potent SAH hydrolase inhibitors endowed with broad-spectrum antiviral activity. The antiviral activity spectrum of the SAH hydrolase inhibitors include pox-, rhabdo-, filo-, arena-, paramyxo-, reo-, and retroviruses. Among the most potent SAH hydrolase inhibitors and antiviral agents rank carbocyclic 3-deazaadenosine (C-c3 Ado), neplanocin A, 3-deazaneplanocin A, the 5'-nor derivatives of carbocyclic adenosine (C-Ado, aristeromycin), and the 2-halo (i.e., 2-fluoro) and 6'-R-alkyl (i.e., 6'-R-methyl) derivatives of neplanocin A. These compounds are particularly active against poxviruses (i.e., vaccinia virus), and rhabdoviruses (i.e., vesicular stomatitis virus). The in vivo efficacy of C-c3 Ado and 3-deazaneplanocin A has been established in mouse models for vaccinia virus, vesicular stomatitis virus, and Ebola virus. SAH hydrolase inhibitors such as C-c3Ado and 3-deazaneplanocin A should in thefirst place be considered for therapeutic (or prophylactic) use against poxvirus infections, including smallpox, and hemorrhagic fever virus infections such as Ebola. 相似文献

rIL-1 beta treatment of cultured human endothelial cells (HEC) promotes polymorphonuclear leukocyte (PMN) adhesion and transmigration. Using in vitro quantitative monolayer adhesion and videomicroscopic transmigration assays, we have examined the contributions of endothelial-leukocyte adhesion molecule-1 (ELAM-1), intercellular adhesion molecule-1 (ICAM-1), and the leukocyte adhesion complex, CD11/CD18, to these processes. Maximal enhancement of PMN adhesion and transmigration were observed after 4 h of rIL-1 beta treatment, when surface expression of ELAM-1 had peaked and ICAM-1 was modestly increased. Blocking mAb directed to either ELAM-1 or ICAM-1 inhibited greater than 90% of the up-regulated PMN transmigration. Blocking mAb directed to either CD11a/CD18 (LFA-1, a ICAM-1 counter-receptor), CD11b/CD18 (Mo-1), or CD18 (common beta 2-integrin) also blocked greater than 90% of PMN transmigration. At later time points (24 or 48 h), ELAM-1 surface expression was markedly decreased, whereas ICAM-1 expression was increased over the 4-h level; PMN adhesion remained elevated (approximately 50 to 60% of 4 h level), but transmigration returned to levels seen with unactivated HEC. These data indicate that PMN interaction with at least two distinct HEC adhesion molecules is necessary for transendothelial migration and suggests that PMN adhesion and transmigration, although interrelated, are mechanistically distinct processes. 相似文献

Upregulation of adhesion proteins plays an important role in mediating inflammation. The induction of adhesive molecules has been well studied, but the reversibility of their expression has not been well characterized. A neutralizing anti-TNF monoclonal antibody (cA2) was used to study the down regulation of TNF-induced E-selectin, vascular cell adhesion molecule-1 (VCAM-1) and intercellular adhesion molecule-1 (ICAM-1) on cultured human umbilical vein endothelial cells (HUVECs). Addition of cA2 following TNF stimulation of HUVECs enhanced the rate of E-selectin and VCAM-1 down-regulation from the cell surface and also reduced steady state E-selectin and VCAM-1 mRNA levels. The cA2-mediated disappearance of E-selectin, but not VCAM-1 protein was microtubule and not microfilament dependent. Neutralization of TNF only slightly reduced ICAM-1 cell surface levels following initial TNF stimulation, suggesting a slower turnover of ICAM-1 compared to E-selectin and VCAM-1. Microtubule inhibition during TNF stimulation partially inhibited E-selectin, VCAM-1 and ICAM-1 mRNA upregulation. VCAM-1 and ICAM-1 cell surface expression were similarly partially inhibited, however, E-selectin levels were unaffected, presumably due to the dual, opposing effect of inhibiting protein expression and inhibiting internalization. Microfilament inhibition during protein induction specifically inhibited the maximal expression of VCAM-1 protein and mRNA, without affecting E-selectin or ICAM-1. These data support the notion that E-selectin, VCAM-1, and ICAM-1 expression are differentially regulated on HUVECs and suggest that TNF neutralizing therapies may be effective because of their ability to reduce the levels of pre-existing adhesion proteins. 相似文献

3-Deazaadenosine analogs can function as inhibitors and also as alternative substrates of S-adenosylhomocysteine (AdoHcy) hydrolase. In cells treated with the analogs, AdoHcy invariably accumulates, leading to inhibition of cellular methylation. F9 teratocarcinoma cells, stably transfected with two collagen (IV) promoter-enhancer-CAT constructs and treated with 10 microM 3-deazaadenosine, 3-deaza-(+-)-aristeromycin or 3-deazaneplanocin, showed a strong induction of CAT activities without affecting differentiation. In comparison, the same 3-deaza analogs did not affect the CAT activity in F9 cells transfected with the beta-actin promoter-CAT construct. Furthermore, Northern blot analysis of endogenous mRNA from wild-type F9 cells treated with the 3-deaza nucleosides all showed an induction of the collagen alpha 1(IV) chain mRNA. Thus, the 3-deaza analogs most likely affect DNA methylation because their results are consistent with the previous observation that the integrated collagen alpha 1(IV) promoter-enhancer constructs were activated with 5-azacytidine. 相似文献

TNF-alpha can incite neutrophil-mediated endothelial cell damage and neutrophil H2O2 release. Both effects require adherent neutrophils. Using specific mAb, we showed in this in vitro study that the CD18 beta 2-chain and the CD11b alpha M-chain of the CD11/CD18 integrin heterodimer have a major role in both TNF-alpha-induced neutrophil-mediated detachment of human umbilical vein endothelial cells and H2O2 release by TNF-alpha-activated human neutrophils. In contrast to anti-CD18 mAb, which consistently prevented neutrophil activation, anti-CD11a mAb and two of three anti-CD11b mAb did not reduce endothelial cell detachment and neutrophil H2O2 release, although they decreased neutrophil adhesion to human umbilical vein endothelial cells. mAb 904, directed against the bacterial LPS binding region of CD11b, reduced endothelial cell detachment for about 40% and neutrophil H2O2 release for more than 50%, demonstrating that CD11b/CD18 is engaged in TNF-induced neutrophil activation. Dependence on CD11b/CD18 could not be overcome by CD18-independent anchoring of neutrophils via PHA. Additionally, neither induction of increased expression of the endothelial cell adhesion molecules ICAM-1 and ELAM-1, nor subsequent addition of specific mAb, influenced endothelial cell injury or H2O2 release by TNF-activated neutrophils. Interaction with ICAM-1 and ELAM-1 therefore appears not to induce additional activation of TNF-stimulated neutrophils. These studies suggest that a specific, CD11b/CD18-mediated signal, instead of adherence only, triggers toxicity of TNF-activated neutrophils. 相似文献

Background
The aim of the study was to investigate how the expression of adhesion molecules changes as neutrophils migrate from the circulation to the lung and if these changes differ between non-smoking subjects and smokers with and without COPD.Methods
Non-smoking healthy subjects (n=22), smokers without (n=21) and with COPD (n=18) were included. Neutrophils from peripheral blood, sputum and bronchial biopsies were analysed for cell surface expression of adhesion molecules (CD11b, CD62L, CD162). Serum, sputum supernatant and BAL-fluid were analysed for soluble adhesion molecules (ICAM-1, -3, E-selectin, P-selectin, VCAM-1, PECAM-1).Results
Expression of CD11b was increased on circulating neutrophils from smokers with COPD. It was also increased on sputum neutrophils in both smokers groups, but not in non-smokers, as compared to circulating neutrophils.Serum ICAM-1 was higher in the COPD group compared to the other two groups (p<0.05) and PECAM-1 was lower in smokers without COPD than in non-smoking controls and the COPD group (p<0.05). In BAL-fluid ICAM-1 was lower in the COPD group than in the other groups (p<0.05).Conclusions
Thus, our data strongly support the involvement of a systemic component in COPD and demonstrate that in smokers neutrophils are activated to a greater extent at the point of transition from the circulation into the lungs than in non-smokers. 相似文献18.

P-selectin and intercellular adhesion molecule-1 (ICAM-1) mediate early interaction and adhesion of neutrophils to coronary endothelial cells and myocytes after myocardial ischemia and reperfusion. In the present study, we examined the physiological consequences of genetic deletions of ICAM-1 and P-selectin in mice. In wild-type mice, after 1 h of ischemia followed by reperfusion, neutrophil influx into the area of ischemia was increased by 3 h with a peak at 24 h and a decline by 72 h. ICAM-1/P-selectin-deficient mice showed a significant reduction in neutrophils by immunohistochemistry or by myeloperoxidase activity at 24 h but no significant difference at 3 h. Infarct size (area of necrosis/area at risk) assessed 24 h after reperfusion was not different between wild-type and deficient mice after 30 min and 1 h of occlusion. Mice with a deficiency in both ICAM-1 and P-selectin have impaired neutrophil trafficking without a difference in infarct size due to myocardial ischemia-reperfusion. 相似文献

Thrombin-induced p65 homodimer binding to downstream NF-kappa B site of the promoter mediates endothelial ICAM-1 expression and neutrophil adhesion 总被引:16,自引:0,他引:16

We investigated the mechanisms by which proinflammatory mediator, thrombin, released during intravascular coagulation and tissue injury, induces ICAM-1 (CD54) expression in endothelial cells. Stimulation of HUVEC with thrombin resulted in dose- and time-dependent increases in ICAM-1 mRNA and cell surface expression and in ICAM-1-dependent endothelial adhesivity toward polymorphonuclear leukocytes. Transient transfection of endothelial cells with ICAM-1 promoter luciferase reporter gene (ICAM-1LUC) constructs indicated that deletion of upstream NF-kappa B site (-533 bases from translation start site) had no effect on thrombin responsiveness, whereas mutation/deletion of downstream NF-kappa B site (-223 bases from the translation start site) prevented the activation of ICAM-1 promoter, indicating that the downstream NF-kappa B site is critical for thrombin inducibility. NF-kappa B-directed luciferase activity increased approximately 3-fold when cells transfected with the plasmid pNF-kappa BLUC containing five copies of consensus NF-kappa B site linked to a minimal adenovirus E1B promoter-luciferase gene were exposed to thrombin, indicating that activation of NF-kappa B was essential for thrombin response. Gel supershift assays demonstrated that thrombin induced binding of NF-kappa Bp65 (Rel A) to downstream NF-kappa B site of the ICAM-1 promoter. Thrombin receptor activation peptide, a 14-amino-acid peptide representing the new NH2 terminus of proteolytically activated receptor-1, mimicked thrombin's action in inducing ICAM-1 expression. These data indicate that thrombin activates endothelial ICAM-1 expression and polymorphonuclear leukocyte adhesion by NF-kappa Bp65 binding to the downstream NF-kappa B site of ICAM-1 promoter after proteolytically activated receptor-1 activation. 相似文献

Nuclear factor κB (NF-κB) plays an important role in the regulation of inflammatory proteins. However, it is unclear whether the NF-κB/intercellular adhesion molecule-1 (ICAM-1) pathway is involved in the adhesion of neutrophils and renal injury after hypoxia–ischemia (HI) in neonates. In this report we investigated whether NF-κB and its downstream molecule ICAM-1 were involved in renal injury induced by postasphyxial serum (PS) from neonates. Human renal proximal tubular (HK-2) cells were preincubated with 10 % fetal calf serum (control), 20 % neonatal PS, or 20 % PS plus pyrolidine dithiocarbamate (PDTC). The expression of IκBα, NF-κB p65, and ICAM-1 in HK-2 cells was determined by Western blot and/or immunohistochemistry. Nuclear translocation of NF-κB p65 in HK-2 cells was detected by immunofluorescence and Western blot. The ICAM-1 mRNA was determined by RT-PCR. Then HK-2 cells were cultured with neutrophils from neonates with asphyxia. After HK-2 cells had been cultured with neutrophils, we detected myeloperoxidase (MPO) activity, the leakage rate of lactate dehydrogenase (LDH), and cell viability. We found that PS preincubation resulted in significantly decreased IκBα expression and increased expression of NF-κB and ICAM-1, and facilitated the nuclear translocation of NF-κB in HK-2 cells. PS preincubation increased MPO activity, leading to elevated leakage rates of LDH and decreased cell viability after neutrophil exposure. Furthermore, the inhibition of NF-κB activity by PDTC significantly upregulated IκBα expression, decreased NF-κB and ICAM-1 expression, downregulated the nuclear translocation of NF-κB, and decreased MPO activity. This leads to decreased leakage rates of LDH and increased cell viability after neutrophil exposure. Our findings suggest that NF-κB/ICAM-1 pathway may be involved in neutrophil–endothelial interactions and neonatal renal injury after HI. 相似文献
