Diabetic nephropathy (DN) is the most common cause of end-stage renal disease and identification of new therapeutic targets is needed. Nicotinamide phosphoribosyltransferase (NAMPT) is both an extracellular and intracellular protein. Circulating NAMPT is increased in diabetics and in chronic kidney disease patients. The role of NAMPT in renal cell biology is poorly understood. NAMPT mRNA and protein were increased in the kidneys of rats with streptozotocin-induced diabetes. Immunohistochemistry localized NAMPT to glomerular and tubular cells in diabetic rats. The inflammatory cytokine TNFα increased NAMPT mRNA, protein and NAD production in cultured kidney human tubular cells. Exogenous NAMPT increased the mRNA expression of chemokines MCP-1 and RANTES. The NAMPT enzymatic activity inhibitor FK866 prevented these effects. By contrast, FK866 boosted TNFα-induced expression of MCP-1 and RANTES mRNA and endogenous NAMPT targeting by siRNA also had a proinflammatory effect. Furthermore, FK866 promoted tubular cell apoptosis in an inflammatory milieu containing the cytokines TNFα/IFNγ. In an inflammatory environment FK866 promoted tubular cell expression of the lethal cytokine TRAIL. These data are consistent with a role of endogenous NAMPT activity as an adaptive, protective response to an inflammatory milieu that differs from the proinflammatory activity of exogenous NAMPT. Thus, disruption of endogenous NAMPT function in stressed cells promotes tubular cell death and chemokine expression. This information may be relevant for the design of novel therapeutic strategies in DN. 相似文献

Recent studies have identified enzymes that use NAD as a substrate, thus contributing to its net consumption. To maintain the intracellular pool, NAD is re-synthesized by a salvage pathway using nicotinamide, the by-product generated by the enzymatic cleavage of NAD. Enzymes involved in NAD re-synthesis include nicotinamide phosphoribosyltransferase (NAMPT) and nicotinamide mononucleotide adenylyltransferase. Our studies show, that NAMPT was substantially up-regulated by LPS in primary human monocytes, suggesting that it may be especially required during the process of monocyte activation. To evaluate the contribution of the NAD rescue pathway to LPS-induced biological responses in human monocytes, we used APO866, a well-characterized inhibitor of NAMPT. Concomitant with the inhibition of NAMPT, LPS-induced TNF-α protein synthesis declined, while TNF-α mRNA levels were minimally affected. Moreover, APO866 strongly decreased the production of reactive oxygen species (ROS), increased surface expression of the NAD-consuming enzyme CD38, and modified the production of selective eicosanoids. We further demonstrate that protein ADP-ribosylation was strongly reduced, indicating a possible link between this post-translational protein modification and human monocyte inflammatory responses. Despite a substantial reduction in intracellular NAD levels, activated monocytes were resistant to apoptosis, while resting monocytes were not. Taken together, our data suggest that activated monocytes strongly depend on the NAD salvage pathway to mount an appropriate inflammatory response. Their survival is not affected by NAD-depletion, probably as a result of LPS-mediated anti-apoptotic signals. 相似文献

Nicotinamide-phosphoribosyltransferase (NAMPT), induced under stress, converts nicotinamide (NA) to nicotinamide mononucleotide (NMN), which then reacts with ATP to regenerate NAD(+). Despite the pivotal role of NAD(+) in metabolic reactions, the molecular pathways triggered by the intracellular changes in NAD(+) level in cancer cells are largely unknown. Growth Arrest and DNA Damage-inducible Gene (GADD45A) is regulated by multiple cellular factors which play an important role in the control of cell-cycle checkpoint, DNA repair process and signal transduction. The present study was designed to assess the significance of intracellular NAD(+) levels on the regulation of GADD45A expression. The results of this study demonstrate an inverse relationship between NAMPT expression and the regulation of GADD45A gene. Thus, an overexpression of NAMPT led to a decreased expression of GADD45A, whereas, the inhibition of NAMPT by the known chemical inhibitor FK866 increased the expression of GADD45A in cells. Inhibition of SIRT1, an NAD(+)-dependent deacetylase, using shRNA also led to an increased expression of GADD45A gene. In further experiments we could show that the increased expression of GADD45A under the above experimental conditions, NAMPT inhibition by FK866, involves acetylation of FOXO3a, a member of the important family of forkhead (FOXO) proteins. This knowledge should contribute to our understanding of the role played by NAMPT and SIRT1 in the regulation of GADD45A expression by FOXO3a. 相似文献

Nicotinamide phosphoribosyltransferase (NAMPT) is a key enzyme for nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide (NAD) biosynthesis, and can be found either intracellularly (iNAMPT) or extracellularly (eNAMPT). Studies have shown that both iNAMPT and eNAMPT are implicated in aging and age-related diseases/disorders in the peripheral system. However, their functional roles in aged brain remain to be established. Here we showed that upon aging, NAMPT level increased in serum but decreased in brain, decreased in cortex and hippocampus but remained unchanged in cerebellum and striatum in brain, and increased in microglia but likely decreased in neuron. Accordingly, total NAD (tNAD) level significantly decreased in hippocampus, cerebellum and striatum in aged brain. Application of recombinant NAMPT, mimicking the elevated serum NAMPT level, enhanced the susceptibility of cerebral endothelial cells to ischemic injury, while inhibition of iNAMPT by FK866, a specific inhibitor, reduced intracellular NAD level and induced neuronal death. Taken together, we have revealed a region- and cell-specific change of NAMPT level in brain and serum upon aging, deduced its potential consequences, which suggests that NAMPT is a regulatory factor in aging and age-related brain diseases. 相似文献

The inhibition of TNF with therapeutic monoclonal antibodies or antibody/receptor fusion proteins in rheumatoid arthritis still constitutes the benchmark for a successful intervention in an ongoing auto-immune-inflammatory disease and underlines the importance of this cytokine. TNF plays a central role in the defence against intracellular infections and is responsible for the promotion of different aspects of the innate immune response such as inflammatory cell recruitment and cell differentiation. While this cytokine generally displays pro-inflammatory activities supporting the early stages of the inflammatory response, it has been demonstrated to be especially important during infection with intracellular pathogens and, consequently, leishmaniasis of TNF−/− mice ends fatally. However, the specific activities of TNF that confer protection are not yet fully understood. This review will summarize the current understanding of TNF function and signalling, and will discuss recent work in the models of malaria, toxoplasmosis, trypanosomiasis and leishmaniasis with particular emphasis on work with gene-deficient mouse models. 相似文献

Type 2 diabetes (T2D) has become epidemic in our modern lifestyle, likely due to calorie-rich diets overwhelming our adaptive metabolic pathways. One such pathway is mediated by nicotinamide phosphoribosyltransferase (NAMPT), the rate-limiting enzyme in mammalian NAD(+) biosynthesis, and the NAD(+)-dependent protein deacetylase SIRT1. Here, we show that NAMPT-mediated NAD(+) biosynthesis is severely compromised in metabolic organs by high-fat diet (HFD). Strikingly, nicotinamide mononucleotide (NMN), a product of the NAMPT reaction and?a key NAD(+) intermediate, ameliorates glucose intolerance by restoring NAD(+) levels in HFD-induced T2D mice. NMN also enhances hepatic insulin sensitivity and restores gene expression related to oxidative stress, inflammatory response, and circadian rhythm, partly through SIRT1 activation. Furthermore, NAD(+) and NAMPT levels show significant decreases in multiple organs during aging, and NMN improves glucose intolerance and lipid profiles in age-induced T2D mice. These findings provide critical insights into a potential nutriceutical intervention against diet- and age-induced T2D. 相似文献

High plasma levels of nicotinamide phosphoribosyltransferase (NAMPT), traditionally considered an intracellular enzyme with a key role in NAD synthesis, have been reported in several oncological, inflammatory and metabolic diseases. We now show that eNAMPT can be actively released by melanoma cells in vitro. We analysed the mechanisms of its release, and we found both classical and non‐classical pathway involvement. eNAMPT released by melanoma cells, in our hands, has paracrine and autocrine effects: it activates MAPK, AKT and NF‐κB pathways and increases colony formation in anchorage‐independent conditions. eNAMPT also induces M1 polarization in human monocytes. Last, we demonstrate, for the first time in any cancer type, that eNAMPT levels in plasma of tumour‐bearing mice increase and that this increase can be reconducted to the tumour itself. This provides an important cue on previous observations that eNAMPT is increased in patients with cancer. Moreover, silencing NAMPT in melanoma cells leads to a reduction in the tumour growth rate. Our findings extend the basis to consider eNAMPT as a cytokine involved in tumour progression. 相似文献

Interleukin-23 promotes a distinct CD4 T cell activation state characterized by the production of interleukin-17 总被引:48,自引:0,他引:48

Interleukin (IL)-17 is a pro-inflammatory cytokine that is produced by activated T cells. Despite increasing evidence that high levels of IL-17 are associated with several chronic inflammatory diseases including rheumatoid arthritis, psoriasis, and multiple sclerosis, the regulation of its expression is not well characterized. We observe that IL-17 production is increased in response to the recently described cytokine IL-23. We present evidence that murine IL-23, which is produced by activated dendritic cells, acts on memory T cells, resulting in elevated IL-17 secretion. IL-23 also induced expression of the related cytokine IL-17F. IL-23 is a heterodimeric cytokine and shares a subunit, p40, with IL-12. In contrast to IL-23, IL-12 had only marginal effects on IL-17 production. These data suggest that during a secondary immune response, IL-23 can promote an activation state with features distinct from the well characterized Th1 and Th2 profiles. 相似文献

The prominence of T cells and monocyte/macrophages in rheumatoid synovium suggests T cells may localize and amplify the effector functions of monocyte/macrophages in rheumatoid disease. However, while T cells are abundant in rheumatoid joints, classic T-cell derived cytokines are scarce, especially when compared to the levels of monokines IL-1 beta and TNF-alpha. For this reason, it has been speculated that monocyte/macrophages may act independently of T cells in rheumatoid disease and that the role of T cells may be more or less irrelevant to core disease mechanisms. The question of T-cell influence requires re-evaluation in light of the characterization of IL-17, a T-cell derived cytokine that is abundant in rheumatoid synovium and synovial fluid. IL-17 has a number of pro-inflammatory effects, both directly and through amplification of the effects of IL-1 beta and TNF-alpha. IL-17 is able to induce expression of pro-inflammatory cytokines and stimulate release of eicosanoids by monocytes and synoviocytes. Furthermore, IL-17 has been implicated in the pathogenesis of inflammatory bone and joint damage through induction of matrix metalloproteinases and osteoclasts, as well as inhibition of proteoglycan synthesis. In animal models of arthritis, intra-articular injection of IL-17 results in joint inflammation and damage. The recognition of IL-17 as a pro-inflammatory T cell derived cytokine, and its abundance within rheumatoid joints, provides the strongest candidate mechanism to date through which T cells can capture and localize macrophage effector functions in rheumatoid arthritis. As such, IL-17 warrants consideration for its potential as a therapeutic target in rheumatoid arthritis. 相似文献

In the central nervous system (CNS), astrocytes play an integral role in the maintenance of neuronal viability and function. Inflammation within the CNS increases the concentration of oxidative metabolites and, therefore, the potential for NAD depletion through increased poly-(ADP-ribose) polymerase (PARP) activity. However, the activity of indoleamine 2,3-dioxygenase (IDO), the rate limiting enzyme for de novo NAD synthesis, is also markedly increased in astrocytes during inflammation. This study investigated the role of IDO induction in the maintenance of intracellular NAD and its relationship to improved cell viability under conditions of increased oxidative stress in the human astroglioma cell line, HTB-138. Treatment with the pro-inflammatory cytokine IFN-gamma increased IDO activity in these cells. Intracellular NAD levels also increased significantly after treatment with IFN-gamma in the presence of a PARP inhibitor. Pretreatment of astroglial cells with IFN-gamma significantly moderated both the drop in intracellular NAD concentration and cell death following exposure to hydrogen peroxide. These results suggest that induction of IDO and subsequent de novo NAD synthesis may contribute to the maintenance of intracellular NAD levels and cell viability under conditions of increased oxidative stress. 相似文献

The resistance against tamoxifen therapy has become one of the major obstacles in the clinical treatment of breast cancer. Nicotinamide phosphoribosyltransferase (NAMPT) is an essential enzyme catalyzing nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide biosynthesis and is important for tumor metabolism. The study here sought to explore the effect of NAMPT on breast cancer survival with tamoxifen conditioning. We found that NAMPT was highly expressed in breast cancer cells compared with normal mammary epithelial cells. Inhibition of NAMPT by FK866 inhibited cell viability and aggravated apoptosis in cancer cells treated with 4-hydroxytamoxifen. NAMPT overexpression upregulated 14-3-3ζ expression. Knockdown of 14-3-3ζ reduced cell survival and promoted apoptosis. Activation of Akt signaling, rather than ERK1/2 pathway, is responsible for 14-3-3ζ regulation by NAMPT overexpression. Furthermore, NAMPT overexpression led to PKM2 accumulation in the cell nucleus and could be dampened by 14-3-3ζ inhibition. In addition, NAMPT overexpression promoted xenografted tumor growth and apoptosis in nude mice, while 14-3-3ζ inhibition attenuated its effect. Collectively, our data demonstrate that NAMPT contributes to tamoxifen resistance through regulation of 14-3-3ζ expression and PKM2 translocation. 相似文献

Tumor necrosis factor alpha (TNFalpha) is a pro-inflammatory cytokine that controls the initiation and progression of inflammatory diseases such as rheumatoid arthritis. Tpl2 is a MAPKKK in the MAPK (i.e. ERK) pathway, and the Tpl2-MEK-ERK signaling pathway is activated by the pro-inflammatory mediators TNFalpha, interleukin (IL)-1beta, and bacterial endotoxin (lipopolysaccharide (LPS)). Moreover, Tpl2 is required for TNFalpha expression. Thus, pharmacologic inhibition of Tpl2 should be a valid approach to therapeutic intervention in the pathogenesis of rheumatoid arthritis and other inflammatory diseases in humans. We have developed a series of highly selective and potent Tpl2 inhibitors, and in the present study we have used these inhibitors to demonstrate that the catalytic activity of Tpl2 is required for the LPS-induced activation of MEK and ERK in primary human monocytes. These inhibitors selectively target Tpl2 in these cells, and they block LPS- and IL-1beta-induced TNFalpha production in both primary human monocytes and human blood. In rheumatoid arthritis fibroblast-like synoviocytes these inhibitors block ERK activation, cyclooxygenase-2 expression, and the production of IL-6, IL-8, and prostaglandin E(2), and the matrix metalloproteinases MMP-1 and MMP-3. Taken together, our results show that inhibition of Tpl2 in primary human cell types can decrease the production of TNFalpha and other pro-inflammatory mediators during inflammatory events, and they further support the notion that Tpl2 is an appropriate therapeutic target for rheumatoid arthritis and other human inflammatory diseases. 相似文献

Endogenous nucleic acids and their receptors may be involved in the initiation of systemic autoimmune diseases including rheumatoid arthritis (RA). As the role of the DNA sensing Toll‐like receptor (TLR) 9 in RA is unclear, we aimed to investigate its involvement in the pathogenesis of autoimmune arthritis using three different experimental models of RA. The data obtained revealed involvement of TLR9 in the T cell‐dependent phase of inflammatory arthritis. In rats with pristane‐induced arthritis (PIA), TLR9 inhibition before disease onset reduced arthritis significantly and almost completely abolished bone erosion. Accordingly, serum levels of IL‐6, α‐1‐acid‐glycoprotein and rheumatoid factor were reduced. Moreover, in TLR9?/? mice, streptococcal cell wall (SCW)‐induced arthritis was reduced in the T cell‐dependent phase, whereas T cell‐independent serum‐transfer arthritis was not affected. Remarkably, while TLR7 expression did not change during in vitro osteoclastogenesis, TLR9 expression was higher in precursor cells than in mature osteoclasts and partial inhibition of osteoclastogenesis was achieved only by the TLR9 antagonist. These results demonstrate a pivotal role for TLR9 in the T cell‐dependent phases of inflammatory arthritis and additionally suggest some role during osteoclastogenesis. Hence, endogenous DNA seems to be crucially involved in the pathophysiology of inflammatory autoimmune arthritis. 相似文献

Due to loss of cell membrane integrity, necrotic cells passively release several cytosolic factors that can activate antigen presenting cells and other immune cells. In contrast, cells dying by apoptosis do not induce an inflammatory response. Here we show that necrotic cell death induced by several stimuli, such as TNF, anti-Fas or dsRNA, coincides with NF-kappaB-and p38MAPK-mediated upregulation and secretion of the pro-inflammatory cytokine IL-6. This event is greatly reduced or absent in conditions of apoptotic cell death induced by the same stimuli. This demonstrates that besides the capacity of necrotic cells to induce an inflammatory response due to leakage of cellular contents, necrotic dying cells themselves are involved in the expression and secretion of inflammatory cytokines. Moreover, inhibition of NF-kappaB and p38MAPK activation does not affect necrotic cell death in all conditions tested. This suggests that the activation of inflammatory pathways is distinct from the activation of necrotic cell death sensu strictu. 相似文献
