Possible role of NF-kappaB and p53 in the glutamate-induced pro-apoptotic neuronal pathway 总被引:3,自引:0,他引:3
Apoptosis is now recognized as an important component in many progressive and acute neurodegenerative diseases. Extracellular signals and intracellular mechanisms triggering and regulating apoptosis in neuronal cells are still a matter of investigation. Here we review data from our and other laboratories with the aim to elucidate the nature of some proteins which are known to be involved in cell cycle regulation as well as in promoting degeneration and apoptosis of neurons. The following molecules will be taken into consideration: NF-kappaB, p53, p21 and MSH2. These proteins are activated by neurotoxic experimental conditions which involve the stimulation of selective receptors for the excitatory aminoacid glutamate. Thus, we hypothesize their contribution to an intracellular pathway responsible for the glutamate-induced neuronal death. Identification of such mechanisms could be relevant for understanding the apoptosis associated with various neurodegenerative diseases as well as for developing novel strategies of pharmacological intervention. 相似文献

The potential of anionic liposomes for oligonucleotide delivery was explored because the requirement for a net-positive charge on transfection-competent cationic liposome-DNA complexes is ambiguous. Liposomes composed of phosphatidylglycerol and phosphatidylcholine were monodisperse and encapsulated oligonucleotides with 40-60% efficiency. Ionic strength, bilayer charge density, and oligonucleotide chemistry influenced encapsulation. To demonstrate the biological efficacy of this vector, antisense oligonucleotides to p53 delivered in anionic liposomes were tested in an in vitro model of excitotoxicity. Exposure of hippocampal neurons to glutamate increased p53 protein expression 4-fold and decreased neuronal survival to approximately 35%. Treatment with 1 microm p53 antisense oligonucleotides in anionic liposomes prevented glutamate-induced up-regulation of p53 and increased neuronal survival to approximately 75%. Encapsulated phosphorothioate p53 antisense oligonucleotides were neuroprotective at 5-10-fold lower concentrations than when unencapsulated. Replacing the anionic lipid with phosphatidylserine significantly decreased neuroprotection. p53 antisense oligonucleotides complexed with cationic liposomes were ineffective. Neuroprotection by p53 antisense oligonucleotides in anionic liposomes was comparable with that by glutamate receptor antagonists and a chemical inhibitor of p53. Anionic liposomes were also capable of delivering plasmids and inducing transgene expression in neurons. Anionic liposome-mediated internalization of Cy3-labeled oligonucleotides by neurons and several other cell lines demonstrated the universal applicability of this vector. 相似文献

Summary 1. We investigated the possible involvement of tau proteins in the neurotoxic process activated by glutamate using the oligonucleotide antisense strategy.2. We found that pretreatment of granule cells with an antisense oligonucleotide of the tau gene completely prevented the increase in tau immunoreactivity induced by glutamate.3. A significant amount of the tau antisense oligonucleotide (about 1 to 2% of total) was taken up by the cells and remained stable in the cells for at least 60 min. A dose-response study revealed that 25µM tau antisense oligonucleotide was the most efficacious concentration in terms of prevention of glutamate-induced tau immunoreactivity increases, without affecting basal tau expression. Higher concentrations of tau oligonucleotide antisense reduced tau immunoreactivity in control cells.4. Significantly, the concentration-response curve of glutamate for inducing neuronal death in cells pretreated with tau antisense oligonucleotide showed a shift to the right compared to those obtained in untreated or tau sense oligonucleotide-treated cells.5. Since inhibition of tau synthesis does not completely prevent but only decreases the neuronal sensitivity to glutamate, it is tempting to speculate that accumulation of tau within the neuron in response to glutamate represents one of the molecular risk factors lowering the safety margin of neurons to excitotoxic-induced injury. 相似文献

The MDM2 oncogene has both p53-dependent and p53-independent activities. We have previously reported that antisense MDM2 inhibitors have significant anti-tumor activity in multiple human cancer models with various p53 statuses (Zhang, Z., Li, M., Wang, H., Agrawal, S., and Zhang, R. (2003) Proc. Natl. Acad. Sci. U. S. A. 100, 11636-11641). We have also provided evidence that MDM2 has a direct role in the regulation of p21, a cyclin-dependent kinase inhibitor. Here we provide evidence supporting functional interaction between MDM2 and p21 in vitro and in vivo. The inhibition of MDM2 with anti-MDM2 antisense oligonucleotide or Short Interference RNA targeting MDM2 significantly elevated p21 protein levels in PC3 cells (p53 null). In contrast, overexpression of MDM2 diminished the p21 level in the same cells by shortening the p21 half-life, an effect reversed by MDM2 antisense inhibition. MDM2 facilitates p21 degradation independent of ubiquitination and the E3 ligase function of MDM2. Instead, MDM2 promotes p21 degradation by facilitating binding of p21 with the proteasomal C8 subunit. The physical interaction between p21 and MDM2 was demonstrated both in vitro and in vivo with the binding region in amino acids 180-298 of the MDM2 protein. In summary, we provide evidence supporting a physical interaction between MDM2 and p21. We also demonstrate that, by reducing p21 protein stability via proteasome-mediated degradation, MDM2 functions as a negative regulator of p21, an effect independent of both p53 and ubiquitination. 相似文献

P^53基因在U937细胞生长和分化过程中的调节作用 总被引:1,自引:0,他引:1
The expression of p53 gene has been found to be regulated during the induction of differentiation of U937 leukemic cells into mature macrophages by recombinant human granulocyte- macrophage colony stimulating factors (rhGM-CSF) We showed here that the increased expression of p53 seemed to be necessary for the differentiation of U937 cells induced by rh-GM-CSF. The inhibition of p53 expression by a p53 antisense oligodeoxynucleotide lead to the significant decrease of formation of mature macrophages from U 937 cells in the presence of rhGM-CSF. By contrast, the p53 sense oligodeoxynucleotide had no any effect. Furthermore, we have analysed the growth of U937 cells in the presence or absence of rhGM-CSF. The results showed that rhGM-CSF dramatically inhibited the growth of U 937 cells in the cultures. At the same time, the antisense inhibition experiment demonstrated that the inhibition of p53 expression partially diminished the growth-inhibitory effect of rhGM-CSF on U 937 cells. These results suggested that the p53 was required for the initiation of rhGM-CSF-induced differentiation of U 937 cells on one hand, and the inhibition of cell growth on the other hand. Thus we deduce that the increased expression of p53 induced by rhGM-CSF may be a coupling event of switch of U 937 cells from growth into differentiation. 相似文献

This study was undertaken to investigate the molecular mechanisms underlying the neuroprotective actions of lithium against glutamate excitotoxicity with a focus on the role of proapoptotic and antiapoptotic genes. Long term, but not acute, treatment of cultured cerebellar granule cells with LiCl induces a concentration-dependent decrease in mRNA and protein levels of proapoptotic p53 and Bax; conversely, mRNA and protein levels of cytoprotective Bcl-2 are remarkably increased. The ratios of Bcl-2/Bax protein levels increase by approximately 5-fold after lithium treatment for 5-7 days. Exposure of cerebellar granule cells to glutamate induces a rapid increase in p53 and Bax mRNA and protein levels with no apparent effect on Bcl-2 expression. Pretreatment with LiCl for 7 days prevents glutamate-induced increase in p53 and Bax expression and maintains Bcl-2 in an elevated state. Glutamate exposure also triggers the release of cytochrome c from the mitochondria into the cytosol. Lithium pretreatment blocks glutamate-induced cytochrome c release and cleavage of lamin B1, a nuclear substrate for caspase-3. These results strongly suggest that lithium-induced Bcl-2 up-regulation and p53 and Bax down-regulation play a prominent role in neuroprotection against excitotoxicity. Our results further suggest that lithium, in addition to its use in the treatment of bipolar depressive illness, may have an expanded use in the intervention of neurodegeneration. 相似文献

Interactions between survival pathways and apoptotic cascades play a determinant role in the maintenance of neoplastic clone proliferation and impaired response to apoptosis. Recently, we established a novel interplay between the NF-kappaB survival- and p53 death- pathways in a tumor model system that represents the most common extranodal lymphoid cell neoplasia, MALT (Mucosa Associated Lymphoid Tissue) lymphoma. MALTs are genetically characterized by the t(11;18)(q21;q21) chromosomal translocation that results in API2/MALT1 fusion products. It was shown that distinct API2/MALT1 chimeric proteins function as oncogenes that bilaterally confer a proliferative advantage to the neoplastic clone by activating the NF-kappaB signaling pathway and also inhibiting p53 mediated cell death. Here, we demonstrate that API2/MALT1 mediated inhibition of apoptosis is p53 specific, as distinct API2/MALT1 fusion proteins fail to protect cells from FAS induced cell death. Furthermore, we demonstrate that API2/MALT1 mediated NF-kappaB activation does not alter p53 protein levels or subcellular localization suggesting a post-translational or indirect mechanism of p53 deregulation. 相似文献

Previous research demonstrated that glutamate induces neuronal injury partially by increasing intracellular Ca2+ concentrations ([Ca2+]i), and inducing oxidative stress, leading to a neurodegenerative disorder. However, the mechanism of glutamate-induced injury remains elusive. Gastrodin, a major active component of the traditional herbal agent Gastrodia elata (GE) Blume, has been recognized as a potential neuroprotective drug. In the current study, a classical injury model based on glutamate-induced cell death of rat pheochromocytoma (PC12) cells was used to investigate the neuroprotective effect of gastrodin, and its potential mechanisms involved. In this paper, the presence of gastrodin inhibits glutamate-induced oxidative stress as measured by the formation of reactive oxygen species (ROS), the level of malondialdehyde (MDA), mitochondrial membrane potential (MMP), and superoxide dismutase (SOD); gastrodin also prevents glutamate-induced [Ca2+]i influx, blocks the activation of the calmodulin-dependent kinase II (CaMKII) and the apoptosis signaling-regulating kinase-1 (ASK-1), inhibits phosphorylation of p38 mitogen-activated kinase (MAPK). Additionally, gastrodin blocked the expression of p53 phosphorylation, caspase-3 and cytochrome C, reduced bax/bcl-2 ratio induced by glutamate in PC12 cells. All these findings indicate that gastrodin protects PC12 cells from the apoptosis induced by glutamate through a new mechanism of the CaMKII/ASK-1/p38 MAPK/p53-signaling pathway. 相似文献

Oxidative stress can trigger neuronal cell death and has been implicated in several chronic neurological diseases and in acute neurological injury. Oxidative toxicity can be induced by glutamate treatment in cells that lack ionotrophic glutamate receptors, such as the immortalized HT22 hippocampal cell line and immature primary cortical neurons. Previously, we found that neuroprotective effects of geldanamycin, a benzoquinone ansamycin, in HT22 cells were associated with a down-regulation of c-Raf-1, an upstream activator of the extracellular signal-regulated protein kinases (ERKs). ERK activation, although often attributed strictly to neuronal cell survival and proliferation, can also be associated with neuronal cell death that occurs in response to specific insults. In this report we show that delayed and persistent activation of ERKs is associated with glutamate-induced oxidative toxicity in HT22 cells and immature primary cortical neuron cultures. Furthermore, we find that U0126, a specific inhibitor of the ERK-activating kinase, MEK-1/2, protects both HT22 cells and immature primary cortical neuron cultures from glutamate toxicity. Glutamate-induced ERK activation requires the production of specific arachidonic acid metabolites and appears to be downstream of a burst of reactive oxygen species (ROS) accumulation characteristic of oxidative stress in HT22 cells. However, inhibition of ERK activation reduces glutamate-induced intracellular Ca(2+) accumulation. We hypothesize that the precise kinetics and duration of ERK activation may determine whether downstream targets are mobilized to enhance neuronal cell survival or ensure cellular demise. 相似文献

为了探讨增强p53、p21基因表达水平和降低c-myc基因表达水平对乳腺癌细胞MCF-7增殖的协同抑制作用,以及这些基因对细胞产生效应时的相互关系,本研究中首先构建了正义的p53、p21和反义的c-myc3种真核细胞表达载体,并根据析因实验设计三种载体不同剂量组合。按照组合用质粒转染细胞,然后对转染细胞的增殖抑制率进行检测,并采用金正均Q值法、单因素方差分析中的LSD法、聚类分析法等统计学方法对结果进行统计分析。结果显示,不同量的p53、p21反义c-myc对MCF-7细胞的增殖均有抑制作用,抑制的程度各基因间存在差异。在各基因组合中,p21与反义c-myc,p53与反义c-myc联用具有协同作用,对MCF-7细胞的增殖产生更强的抑制,而p53与p21之间未显示出协同作用。对三基因协同结果进行聚类分析后,发现第一类组合协同作用最明显,第九类组合的抑制率最高。由此推测,作为抑癌基因的p53或CDK抑制基因p21高表达,同时原癌基因c-myc表达受到抑制,可相互协同显著增强对MCF-7细胞增殖的抑制作用。 相似文献
