FK506, but not cyclosporin A, prevents mitochondrial dysfunction during hypoxia in rat hepatocytes. 总被引:4,自引:0,他引:4
Hepatic ischemia/reperfusion injury occurs in the clinical situations including liver transplantation. FK506 and cyclosporin A (CsA) are reported to be hepatotrophic agents in addition to being a powerful immunosuppressive agent. Studies were performed to determine whether the drugs influence a mitochondrial dysfunction under the hypoxic conditions in primary culture model of rat hepatocytes. The Anaeropack system was used for cell culture to create a hypoxia. Cells were treated with FK506 or CsA under the normoxic and hypoxic conditions. Hypoxia markedly decreased intracellular adenosine 5'-triphosphate (ATP) contents and the ketone body ratio (KBR, acetoacetate/beta-hydroxybutyrate) in culture medium as compared with normoxia. FK506 prevented the decreases of ATP contents and the KBR. In contrast, CsA had no effect on either ATP contents or the KBR. FK506, but not CsA, increased the KBR under the normoxic conditions. Under the hypoxic conditions, heat shock protein 70 (Hsp70) was detected after reoxygenation. FK506 enhanced the induction of Hsp70, but CsA again had no effect on Hsp70 induction. These results indicate that FK506 protects the hypoxia injury in part by preventing the mitochondrial dysfunction in concert with the enhancement of heat shock response in hepatocytes. 相似文献

Summary FK506 has been used as the primary immunosuppressive agent administered after a variety of organ transplants, with less reported
nephrotoxicity than that of cyclosporine. This study examined in vitro cytotoxicity of FK506 on normal human renal proximal
tubule cells. Cytotoxicity was assessed by neutral red inclusion and trypan blue exclusion; morphology was assessed by light
and transmission electron microscopy. Neutral red inclusion decreased to less than 10% of the control after 3 days exposure
to 200μg/ml FK506. Forty microgram per milliliter FK506 caused a decrease in neutral red inclusion to 61% of the control on Day 7,
with recovery to 86% on Day 12. Similarly, trypan blue exclusion decreased to 66% of the control following 7 days exposure
to 40μg/ml FK506, and confluency of the monolayer was reduced to 50% as evidenced by phase contrast microscopy. After a 12-day exposure,
treated monolayers became more confluent. On ultrastructural examination, FK506-treated cells exhibited increased cytoplasmic
vacuolation and lipid inclusion. These data suggest that FK506 is reversibly and mildly toxic to monolayers of human renal
proximal tubule cells and are consistent with clinical reports of reversible nephrotoxicity. 相似文献

FK506 binding protein 12 (FK506BP) is a small peptide with a single FK506BP domain that is involved in suppression of immune response and reactive oxygen species. FK506BP has emerged as a potential drug target for several inflammatory diseases. Here, we examined the protective effects of directly applied cell permeable FK506BP (PEP-1-FK506BP) on corneal alkali burn injury (CAI). In the cornea, there was a significant decrease in the number of cells expressing pro-inflammation, apoptotic, and angiogenic factors such as TNF-α, COX-2, and VEGF. Both corneal opacity and corneal neovascularization (CNV) were significantly decreased in the PEP-1-FK506BP treated group. Our results showed that PEP-1-FK506BP can significantly inhibit alkali burn-induced corneal inflammation in rats, possibly by accelerating corneal wound healing and by reducing the production of angiogenic factors and inflammatory cytokines. These results suggest that PEP-1-FK506BP may be a potential therapeutic agent for CAI. [BMB Reports 2015; 48(11): 618-623] 相似文献

Multiple intracellular receptors of the FK506 binding protein (FKBP) family of peptidylprolyl cis/trans-isomerases are potential targets for the immunosuppressive drug FK506. Inhibition of the protein phosphatase calcineurin (CaN), which has been implicated in the FK506-mediated blockade of T cell proliferation, was shown to involve a gain of function in the FKBP12/FK506 complex. We studied the potential of six human FKBPs to contribute to CaN inhibition by comparative examination of inhibition constants of the respective FK506/FKBP complexes. Interestingly, these FKBPs form tight complexes with FK506, exhibiting comparable dissociation constants, but the resulting FK506/FKBP complexes differ greatly in their affinity for CaN, with IC50 values in the range of 0.047-17 microM. The different capacities of FK506/FKBP complexes to affect CaN activity are partially caused by substitutions corresponding to the amino acid side chains K34 and I90 of FKBP12. Only the FK506 complexes of FKBP12, FKBP12.6, and FKBP51 showed high affinity to CaN; small interfering RNA against these FKBP allowed defining the contribution of individual FKBP in an NFAT reporter gene assay. Our results allow quantitative correlation between FK506-mediated CaN effects and the abundance of the different FKBPs in the cell. 相似文献

Tacrolimus (FK506) is a widely used immunosuppressive drug. Its effects on hepatic fibrosis have been controversial and attributed to immunosuppression. We show that in vitro FK506, inhibited synthesis of type I collagen polypeptides, without affecting expression of collagen mRNAs. In vivo, administration of FK506 at a dose of 4 mg/kg completely prevented development of alcohol/carbon tetrachloride induced liver fibrosis in rats. Activation of hepatic stellate cells (HSCs) was absent in the FK506 treated livers and expression of collagen α2(I) mRNA was at normal levels. Collagen α1(I) mRNA was increased in the FK506 treated livers, but this mRNA was not translated into α1(I) polypeptide. No significant inflammation was associated with the fibrosis model used. FK506 binding protein 3 (FKBP3) is one of cellular proteins which binds FK506 with high affinity. We discovered that FKBP3 interacts with LARP6 and LARP6 is the major regulator of translation and stability of collagen mRNAs. In the presence of FK506 the interaction between FKBP3 and LARP6 is weakened and so is the pull down of collagen mRNAs with FKBP3. We postulate that FK506 inactivates FKBP3 and that lack of interaction of LARP6 and FKBP3 results in aberrant translation of collagen mRNAs and prevention of fibrosis. This is the first report of such activity of FK506 and may renew the interest in using this drug to alleviate hepatic fibrosis. 相似文献

Novel immunosuppressive agent, FK506. In vitro effects on the cloned T cell activation 总被引:30,自引:0,他引:30

The present study shows the in vitro effects of a novel immunosuppressive agent, FK506, in comparison with cyclosporin A (CsA). FK506 inhibited concanavalin A response and allo-mixed lymphocyte reaction of murine splenic lymphocytes in a dose-dependent manner, and at 40- to 200-fold lower concentrations than CsA. Allo-cytolytic T lymphocyte induction from murine thymocytes was also inhibited by FK506, whereas the ability of cytolytic T lymphocyte to lyse targets was not affected by the agent. Immunosuppressive effects of FK506 were further characterized by using antigen specific-proliferative T lymphocyte clones, BC.21 and KO.6. FK506 inhibited the proliferation of T cell clones stimulated with specific antigens in a dose-dependent manner, and at about 100-fold lower concentrations than CsA. However, cloned T cells, once activated, were scarcely affected by the agent; interleukin-2 (IL-2) driven proliferation of cloned T cells was not inhibited. On the other hand, it was found that FK506 inhibited both IL-2 secretion and IL-2 receptor expression of BC.21 after stimulation with the specific antigen. FK506 also inhibited the proliferation of BC.21 stimulated with phorbol 12-myristate 13-acetate plus calcium ionophore, indicating that it directly affected the signaling pathway downward from the perturbation of the Ti/T3 complex. Finally, it was suggested that FK506 and CsA synergistically inhibited the antigen-driven proliferation of cloned T cells. These results indicate that the novel immunosuppressive agent, FK506, affects T cell activation with mechanisms similar to those of CsA but at considerably lower concentrations. 相似文献

Establishment of a cell model based on FKBP12 dimerization for screening of FK506-like neurotrophic small molecular compounds 总被引:1,自引:0,他引:1
FK506 is an efficient immunosuppressive agent with an increasing number of clinical applications. It has been approved to prevent rejection in transplant patients and be efficacious in several autoimmune diseases. Its immunosuppressive activity results from binding to receptor proteins designated as immunophilins (i.e., FKBP12, FK506 binding protein). Recent studies have suggested that FK506 can promote neurite outgrowth as a 2nd activity. Furthermore, it has been shown that the neurotrophic property of FK506 is independent of its immunosuppressive action. Although the mechanism of its neurotrophic activity has not yet been well elucidated, FKBP12 is identified as a drug target, and much effort has been directed toward the design of FKBP12-binding molecules, which are neurotrophic but non-immunosuppressive, for clinical use. In this present study, the authors constructed a stable cell line, which underwent apoptosis upon treatment by AP20187, a wholly synthesized, cell-permeable dimeric FK506 derivative, based on FKBP12-mBax dimerization. This AP20187-mediated apoptosis was rapidly reversed by the addition of an FKBP12-binding competitor molecule (FK506 or rapamycin), indicating that this cell line might be used to screen FK506 derivatives. Using the screening model, hundreds of synthetic FK506 analogs were analyzed. A promising compound, named N308, was obtained. The results showed that N308 could inhibit AP20187-induced gene-modified target cell apoptosis and elicit augmentation of neurite extension from both cultured PC-12 cells and chicken dorsal root ganglia cultures. 相似文献

Tacrolimus (FK506) is a hydrophobic immunosuppressive agent that rapidly penetrates the plasmatic membrane and inhibits the signal transduction cascade of T lymphocytes. The objective of this study was the characterization of liposomal FK506 with surfactant-like phospholipids to be administered intratracheally after lung transplantation or in inflammatory lung diseases. We evaluated the optimal incorporation of FK506 in dipalmitoylphosphatidylcholine (DPPC) and DPPC/1-palmitoyl-2-oleoylphosphatidylglycerol (POPG) monolayers and bilayers and the effects of FK506 on the physical properties of DPPC and DPPC/POPG (8:2 w/w) vesicles. In addition, we assessed the immunosuppressive effects of surfactant-like phospholipid vesicles containing different amounts of FK506 on T-cell proliferation and interleukin 2 production. From surface pressure measurements of FK506/DPPC and FK506/DPPC/POPG mixed monolayers, we determined that FK506 was embedded into these monolayers up to an FK506 concentration of about 0.4 mol %. Beyond this concentration, FK506 was not quantitatively incorporated into the monolayer, suggesting possible concentration-dependent aggregation of tacrolimus.

The immunosuppressive drugs FK506 and cyclosporin A block T-lymphocyte proliferation by inhibiting calcineurin, a critical signaling molecule for activation. Multiple intracellular receptors (immunophilins) for these drugs that specifically bind either FK506 and rapamycin (FK506-binding proteins [FKBPs]) or cyclosporin A (cyclophilins) have been identified. We report the cloning and characterization of a new 51-kDa member of the FKBP family from murine T cells. The novel immunophilin, FKBP51, is distinct from the previously isolated and sequenced 52-kDa murine FKBP, demonstrating 53% identity overall. Importantly, Western blot (immunoblot) analysis showed that unlike all other FKBPs characterized to date, FKBP51 expression was largely restricted to T cells. Drug binding to recombinant FKBP51 was demonstrated by inhibition of peptidyl prolyl isomerase activity. As judged from peptidyl prolyl isomerase activity, FKBP51 had a slightly higher affinity for rapamycin than for FK520, an FK506 analog. FKBP51, when complexed with FK520, was capable of inhibiting calcineurin phosphatase activity in an in vitro assay system. Inhibition of calcineurin phosphatase activity has been implicated both in the mechanism of immunosuppression and in the observed toxic side effects of FK506 in nonlymphoid cells. Identification of a new FKBP that can mediate calcineurin inhibition and is restricted in its expression to T cells suggests that new immunosuppressive drugs may be identified that, by virtue of their specific interaction with FKBP51, would be targeted in their site of action. 相似文献

The immunosuppressant Tacrolimus (FK506) has increased the survival rates of organ transplantation. FK506 exerts its immunosuppressive effect by inhibition of the protein phosphatase calcineurin in activated T-cells. Unfortunately, FK506 therapy is associated with undesired non-therapeutic effects involving targets other than calcineurin. To identify these targets we have addressed FK506 cellular toxicity in budding yeast. We show that FK506 increased cell sensitivity upon osmotic challenge independently of calcineurin and the FK506-binding proteins Fpr1p, -2p, -3p, and -4p. FK506 also induced strong amino acid starvation and activation of the general control (GCN) pathway. Tryptophan prototrophy or excess tryptophan overcame FK506 toxicity, showing that tryptophan deprivation mediated this effect. Mutation of the GCN3 and -4 genes partially alleviated FK506 toxicity, suggesting that activation of the GCN pathway by FK506 was also involved in osmotic tolerance. FK506 enhanced osmotic stress-dependent Hog1p kinase phosphorylation that was not accompanied by induction of a Hog1p-dependent reporter. Interestingly, deletion of the GCN2 gene suppressed FK506-dependent Hog1p hyperphosphorylation and restored Hog1p-dependent reporter activity. Conversely, deletion of the HOG1 gene impaired FK506-dependent activation of Gcn2p kinase and translation of a GCN4-LacZ reporter, highlighting functional cross-talk between the Gcn2p and Hog1p protein kinases. Taken together, these data demonstrate that both FK506-induced amino acid starvation and activation of the GCN pathway contribute to cell sensitivity to osmotic stress and reveal a positive regulatory loop between the Hog1p and Gcn2p pathways. Given the conserved nature of Gcn2p and Hog1p pathways, this mechanism of FK506 toxicity could be relevant to the non-therapeutic effects of FK506 therapy. 相似文献

Immunosuppressive drugs such as cyclosporin A (CsA) and FK506 are known to have pleiotropic effects on cells. Here we demonstrate that treatment of HeLa cells with low concentrations of CsA (but not of FK506) induces the synthesis of a stress protein, GRP78, located inside the endoplasmic reticulum. High concentrations of CsA lead to a general decrease in protein synthesis. When cells are stressed (heat-shocked) during the CsA treatment, the synthesis of heat shock proteins is reinforced. FK506 has no detectable effects at any concentration. The mechanism of induction of GRP78 by CsA remains presently unknown. Whatever the mechanism involved, GRP78 overexpression might be responsible for some of the physiological effects of CsA. 相似文献

FK506 and FK520 are 23-membered macrocyclic polyketides with potent immunosuppressive and antifungal activities. The gene encoding 31-O-demethyl-FK506 methyltransferase, fkbM, was isolated from Streptomyces sp. strains MA6858 and MA6548, two FK506 producers, and Streptomyces hygroscopicus subsp. ascomyceticus, an FK520 producer. The nucleotide sequence of the fkbM gene revealed an open reading frame encoding a polypeptide of 260 amino acids. Disruption of fkbM in Streptomyces sp. strain MA6548 yielded a mutant that produced 31-O-demethyl-FK506, confirming the involvement of the isolated genes in the biosynthesis of FK506 and FK520. Heterologous expression of fkbM in Streptomyces lividans established that fkbM encodes an O-methyltransferase catalyzing the methylation of the C-31 hydroxyl group of 31-O-demethyl-FK506 and FK520. A second open reading frame, fkbD, was found upstream of fkbM in all three aforementioned species and was predicted to encode a protein of 388 residues that showed a strong resemblance to cytochrome P-450 hydroxylases. Disruption of fkbD had a polar effect on the synthesis of the downstream fkbM gene product and resulted in the formation of 9-deoxo-31-O-demethyl-FK506. This established the product of fkbD as the cytochrome P-450 9-deoxo-FK506 hydroxylase, which is responsible for hydroxylation at position C-9 of the FK506 and FK520 macrolactone ring. 相似文献

Although the rotamase activity of the FK506 binding protein is inhibited by ligand binding, it is hypothesized that the ligand/protein complex itself may be responsible for the immunosuppressive effects of FK506. We have therefore examined the structure of the FK506 binding protein in the presence of an analog of FK506 (FK520) by a combination of fluorescence, CD, FTIR and calorimetry. While only small changes in the overall structure of the protein may be induced by ligand, a large change in thermal stability of the binding protein is observed. 相似文献

Neuroprotectant FK506 inhibits glutamate-induced apoptosis of astrocytes in vitro and in vivo 总被引:4,自引:0,他引:4
Neuron-astrocyte interactions are critical for signalling, energy metabolism, extracellular ion and glutamate homeostasis, volume regulation and neuroprotection in the CNS. Glutamate uptake by astrocytes may prevent excitotoxic glutamate elevation and determine neuronal survival. However, an excess of glutamate can cause the death of astrocytes. FK506, an inhibitor of calcineurin, and an immunosuppressive drug, is neuroprotective in animal models of neurologic diseases, including focal and global ischaemia. In the present work, we demonstrate that a single injection of FK506 60 min after a transient middle cerebral artery occlusion (MCAo) significantly decreases the number of terminal deoxynucleotidyl transferase nick-end labelling (TUNEL)-positive cells in the ischaemic cortex and striatum. Using 3-D confocal microscopy we found that, 24 h after MCAo, many TUNEL-positive cells in the ischaemic striatum and cortex are astrocytes. Furthermore, we demonstrate that exposure of cultured cortical astrocytes to 50-100 mM Glu for 24 h induces apoptotic alterations in nuclear morphology, DNA fragmentation, dissipation of mitochondrial transmembrane potential (DeltaPsi) and caspase activation. FK506 (1 muM) efficiently inhibits Glu-induced apoptosis of cultured astrocytes, DNA fragmentation and changes in mitochondrial DeltaPsi. Our findings suggest that modulation of glutamate-induced astrocyte death early after reperfusion may be a novel mechanism of FK506-mediated neuroprotection in ischaemia. 相似文献

The immunosuppressive drug FK506 binds its targets FK506-binding protein (FKBP) family and modulates cellular processes. Recent studies demonstrated that FK506 shows anti-malaria effects. Newly identified FK506-binding protein 35 from Plasmodium falciparum (PfFKBP35) is assumed to be the molecular target of FK506 in the parasite. Currently, molecular and structural basis of growth inhibition of the parasite by FK506 remains unclear. In this study, to examine characteristics of PfFKBP35 and also understand its molecular mechanism of the inhibition by FK506, we have cloned, expressed, and purified the full-length PfFKBP35 and its FK506-binding domain (FKBD). We demonstrate that the full-length PfFKBP35 and the FKBD were properly folded, and suitable for biochemical and biophysical studies. PfFKBP35 showed a basal activity in inhibiting the phosphatase activity of calcineurin in the absence of FK506, but the presence of FK506 greatly enhanced its calcineurin-inhibitory activity. Our NMR data indicate that the FKBD binds FK506 with a high affinity. 相似文献

The immunosuppressive effects of cyclosporin A (CsA) and FK506 are mediated through binding to immunophilins. Here we show that FK506–FKBP complex suppresses the activation of JNK and p38 pathways at a level upstream of mitogen-activated protein kinase (MAPK) kinase kinase (MAPKK-K) besides the calcineurin–NFAT pathway. A238L, a viral gene product that binds to immunophilin, also blocks activation of both pathways. In contrast, direct inhibitors of calcineurin, Cabin 1 and FR901725, suppress the activation of NFAT but not the JNK or p38 pathway. We further demonstrate that co-expression of a constitutively active NFAT and a constitutively active MEKK1 renders the interleukin-2 promoter in Jurkat T lymphocytes resistant to CsA and FK506, whereas Jurkat cells expressing a constitutively active NFAT alone are still sensitive to CsA or FK506. Therefore, CsA and FK506 exert their immunosuppressive effects through targeting both the calcineurin-dependent NFAT pathway and calcineurin-independent activation pathway for JNK and p38. 相似文献
