ABSTRACT: Background Our previous work found that mouse embryos could invade malignant cancer cells. In the process of implantation, embryo trophoblast cells express matrix metalloproteinases and the invasive ability of trophoblast cells is proportional to matrix metalloproteinase-9 protein expression. So the purpose of this study is to observe the effects of mouse embryos on human ovarian cancer cells in the co-culture environment in vitro and explore the possible mechanism of matrix metalloproteinase-9. Methods Several groups of human ovarian cancer cells HO8910PM were co-cultured with mouse embryos for different time duration, after which the effects of mouse embryos on morphology and growth behavior of HO8910PM were observed under the light microscope real-time or by H.E staining. Apoptosis was detected under laser confocal microscope by Annexin V-EGFP/PI staining in situ. Invasion ability of tumor cells was studied by transwell experiments. After matrix metalloproteinase 9 (MMP -9) activity was inhibited by MMP-9 Inhibitor I, the interaction between mouse embryos and human ovarian cancer cells HO8910PM was observed. Results Mouse embryos were able to invade co-cultured human ovarian cancer cell layer which extended in the bottom of the culture dish, and gradually pushed away tumor cells to form their own growth space. The number of apoptosis tumor cells surrounding the embryo increased under laser confocal microscope. After co-cultured with mouse embryos, tumor cells invasive ability was lowered compared with the control group. After MMP-9 activity was inhibited, the interaction between mouse embryos and HO8910PM cells had no significant difference compared with the normal MMP-9 activity group. Conclusion Mouse embryos were able to invade human ovarian cancer cells in vitro and form their own growth space, promote apoptosis of human ovarian cancer cells and lower their invasive ability. The mouse embryo was still able to invade human ovarian cancer cells after MMP-9 activity was inhibited. 相似文献

Gelatinase B or matrix metalloproteinase-9 is involved in inflammation and in autoimmune and vascular diseases. In contrast to the constitutive and homeostatic matrix metalloproteinase-2, matrix metalloproteinase-9 is an inducible enzyme. Furthermore, it needs tight regulation, and a major control mechanism of its enzymatic activity is the activation of the latent enzyme by proteolysis of the 87 residue propeptide. Activated matrix metalloproteinase-9 is detected in many vascular or hematological disease states, including in an experimental model for cerebral malaria with Plasmodium berghei ANKA. However, insight into its activation mechanism is incomplete. In view of the association with hemorrhagic and hemolytic diseases, it was studied whether and how hemoglobin and its derivatives might activate pro-matrix metalloproteinase-9. Incubation of matrix metalloproteinase-9 with hemin or beta-hematin, the core constituent of hemozoin or malaria pigment, leads to differential autocatalysis of the propeptide, mediated by allosteric interaction with the hemopexin domain. The cleavage catalyzed by beta-hematin coincides with the first cleavage by stromelysin-1/matrix metalloproteinase-3, and preincubation of matrix metalloproteinase-9 with beta-hematin enhances the activation rate by matrix metalloproteinase-3 at least 6-fold. These findings suggest that reduction of hemorrhage and hemolysis might prevent matrix metalloproteinase-9-mediated inflammatory and vascular damages. 相似文献

SV40 T antigen (Tag) expression directed to cerebellar Purkinje cells resulted in the generation of three transgenic mouse lines that displayed ataxia, a neurological phenotype characteristic of cerebellar dysfunction. Onset of symptoms and cerebellar pathology, characterized by specific Purkinje cell degeneration, appeared to be directly dependent upon transgene copy number. The SV5 line (containing > 30 transgene copies), exhibited embryonic transgene expression that caused selective death of immature Purkinje cells and a subsequent block in cerebellar development and ataxia at 2 weeks. The developmental effect of the disruption of Purkinje cells in SV5 mice suggests that a normal complement of these cells is required for early development of the cerebellar cortex, especially granule cell proliferation and migration from external to internal layers. Transgene expression in a second line, SV4 (10 copies), was detectable during the second postnatal week. Death of mature Purkinje cells in the SV4 line resulted in onset of ataxia at 9 weeks. Ataxia in a third line, SV6 (2 copies), was detected after 15 weeks. The distinct cerebellar phenotypes of the SV4-6 lines correlate with specific Tag-induced Purkinje cell ablation as opposed to tumorigenesis. 相似文献

The influence of Mesocestoides corti on subsequent Angiostrongylus cantonensis infection in mice (C57BL/6 and BALB/c) was assessed. Both strains of mice infected with M. corti demonstrated a peak blood eosinophilia at around 3 weeks post-infection (p.i.). C57BL/6 and BALB/c mice primarily infected with M. corti were given A. cantonensis infection 18 days later, but pre-existing M. corti infection did not affect the recovery of intracranial worms of A. cantonensis at day 21 p.i. BALB/c mice with mixed parasite infections showed low morbidity and mortality as compared with mice singly infected with A. cantonensis and some mice demonstrated a pulmonary migration of intracranial worms. In C57BL/6 mice, intracranial worms were killed and thus all mice survived. C57BL/6 mice with mixed parasite infections failed to resist A. cantonensis reinfection. The blastogenic responses of spleen cells against A. cantonensis antigen were lower in BALB/c than in C57BL/6 mice and mixed parasite infections also resulted in less blastogenic responses against both concanavalin A and A. cantonensis antigen than monoinfection. The recovery of M. corti biomass was significantly higher in mice with mixed parasite infections than mice with monoinfection with M. corti. These data suggest a distinct difference in response to A. cantonensis infection between C57BL/6 and BALB/c mice, and the induction of immunosuppression in both mouse strains following M. corti infection. Blood eosinophilia provoked by M. corti infection is not directly associated with the killing of worms in subsequent A. cantonensis infection. 相似文献

Acidic extracellular pH is a common feature of tumor tissues. We have reported that culturing cells at acidic pH (5.4-6.5) induced matrix metalloproteinase-9 expression through phospholipase D, extracellular signal regulated kinase 1/2 and p38 mitogen-activated protein kinases and nuclear factor-kappaB. Here, we show that acidic extracellular pH signaling involves both pathways of phospholipase D triggered by Ca2+ influx and acidic sphingomyelinase in mouse B16 melanoma cells. We found that BAPTA-AM [1,2-bis(2-aminophenoxy)-ethane-N,N,N',N'-tetraacetic acid tetrakis (acetoxymethyl) ester], a chelator of intracellular free calcium, and the voltage dependent Ca2+ channel blockers, mibefradil (for T-type) and nimodipine (for L-type), dose-dependently inhibited acidic extracellular pH-induced matrix metalloproteinase-9 expression. Intracellular free calcium concentration ([Ca2+]i) was transiently elevated by acidic extracellular pH, and this [Ca2+]i elevation was repressed by EGTA and the voltage dependent Ca2+ channel blockers but not by phospholipase C inhibitor, suggesting that acidic extracellular pH increased [Ca2+]i through voltage dependent Ca2+ channel. In contrast, SR33557, an L-type voltage dependent Ca2+ channel blocker and acidic sphingomyelinase inhibitor, attenuated matrix metalloproteinase-9 induction but did not affect calcium influx. We found that acidic sphingomyelinase activity was induced by acidic extracellular pH and that the specific acidic sphingomyelinase inhibitors (perhexiline and desipramine) and siRNA targeting aSMase/smpd1 could inhibit acidic extracellular pH-induced matrix metalloproteinase-9 expression. BAPTA-AM reduced acidic extracellular pH-induced phospholipase D but not acidic sphingomyelinase acitivity. The acidic sphingomyelinase inhibitors did not affect the phosphorylation of extracellular signal regulated kinase 1/2 and p38, but they suppressed nuclear factor-kappaB activity. These data suggest that the calcium influx-triggered phospholipase D and acidic sphingomyelinase pathways of acidic extracellular pH induced matrix metalloproteinase-9 expression, at least in part, through nuclear factor-kappaB activation. 相似文献

Sorsby's fundus dystrophy (SFD) is an autosomal dominant degenerative disease of the macula caused by mutations in the tissue inhibitor of metalloproteinase-3 (TIMP-3) gene. Choroidal neovascularization is a hallmark of this disease, which closely resembles the exudative form of age-related macular degeneration. However, the mechanism by which TIMP-3 mutations induce the disease phenotype in SFD remains unknown. To address this question we established human retinal pigment epithelial cell lines expressing wild type or S156C (Ser(156) changed to cysteine) mutant TIMP-3. S156C TIMP-3 had reduced matrix metalloproteinase (MMP) inhibitory activity in retinal pigment epithelial cells and resulted in increased secretion and activation of gelatinase A and B. The conditioned medium from these cells induced angiogenesis in "in vivo" chick chorioallantoic membrane assays that could be reversed with recombinant wild type TIMP-3. Our data indicate that the choroidal neovascularization in SFD may be a result of increased MMP activity, which could lead to the stimulation of angiogenesis. These results also suggest the potential therapeutic use of TIMP-3 or synthetic MMP inhibitors in this disease. 相似文献

We provide evidence that matrix metalloproteinase-7 (MMP-7) interacts with anionic, cationic and neutral lipid membranes, although it interacts strongest with anionic membranes. While the catalytic activity of the enzyme remains unaffected upon binding to neutral and negatively charged membranes, it is drastically impaired upon binding to the positively charged membranes. The structural data reveal that the origin of these features lies in the "bipolar" distribution of the electrostatic surface potentials on the crystallographic structure of MMP-7. 相似文献

A spontaneous model of Purkinje cell degeneration in rats is described. Breeding data indicate that the condition is hereditary and not sex linked. The breeding colony has remained free of common murine pathogens, including parvovirus. In older rats with pronounced ataxia, the major lesions consisted of greatly reduced numbers or complete absence of Purkinje cells (PCs), particularly in the anterior lobe of the cerebellum. There was a decreased thickness and increased cellular density of the molecular layer and degeneration of the inferior olivary nuclei. Morphometric analysis indicated that the anterior lobes of affected rats were 52% smaller than those of normal rats. In young rats, before severe signs of ataxia had developed, microscopic changes were minimal. The preliminary findings are discussed in relationship to human cerebellar ataxias and mouse models of Purkinje cell degeneration. 相似文献

In vitro binding studies with latent matrix metalloproteinase-9 (pro-MMP-9) have revealed the existence of nondisulfide-bonded α2(IV) chains on the cell surface capable of forming a high-affinity complex with the enzyme. Here we investigated the biosynthesis and cellular distribution of α2(IV) and α1(IV) chains in breast epithelial (MCF10A and MDA-MB-231) and fibrosarcoma (HT1080) cells by pulse-chase analysis followed by immunoprecipitation with chain-specific monoclonal antibodies (mAb). These studies showed that whereas the α1(IV) chain remained in the intracellular compartment, nondisulfide-bonded α2(IV) chains were secreted into the media in a stable form. Consistently, only α2(IV) was detected on the cell surface by surface biotinylation or indirect immunofluorescence. In agreement with the pulse-chase analysis, media subjected to coprecipitation experiments with pro-MMP-9 or pro-MMP-9-affinity chromatography followed by immunoblotting with chain-specific mAbs resulted in the detection of α2(IV). A preferential secretion of nondisulfide-bonded α2(IV) chains was also observed in CHO-K1 cells transiently transfected with full-length mouse α2(IV) or α1(IV) cDNAs. However, a complex of mouse α1(IV) with pro-MMP-9 was coprecipitated with exogenous enzyme from lysates of CHO-K1 cells transfected with mouse α1(IV), suggesting that under overexpression conditions the enzyme can also interact with the α1(IV) chain. Collectively, these studies further demonstrate the interactions of pro-MMP-9 with collagen IV chains and a unique processing and targeting of nondisulfide-bonded α2(IV) chains that may play a role in the surface/matrix association of pro-MMP-9.

Osteoactivin upregulates expression of MMP-3 and MMP-9 in fibroblasts infiltrated into denervated skeletal muscle in mice 总被引:4,自引:0,他引:4
Ogawa T Nikawa T Furochi H Kosyoji M Hirasaka K Suzue N Sairyo K Nakano S Yamaoka T Itakura M Kishi K Yasui N 《American journal of physiology. Cell physiology》2005,289(3):C697-C707
In this study, we examined pathophysiological roles of osteoactivin, a functionally unknown type I membrane glycoprotein, in mouse skeletal muscle atrophied by denervation (sciatic neurectomy). Denervation increased the amounts of osteoactivin, vimentin, matrix metalloproteinase-3 (MMP-3), and MMP-9 in mouse gastrocnemius muscle. Interestingly, immunohistochemical analysis revealed that vimentin, MMP-3, and MMP-9 were mainly present in fibroblast-like cells infiltrated into denervated mouse gastrocnemius muscle, whereas osteoactivin was expressed in the sarcolemma of myofibers adjacent to the fibroblast-like cells. On the basis of these findings, we reasoned that osteoactivin in myocytes was involved in activation of the infiltrated fibroblasts. To address this issue, we examined effects of osteoactivin on expression of MMPs in fibroblasts in vitro and in vivo. Overexpression of osteoactivin in NIH-3T3 fibroblasts induced expression of MMP-3, but not in mouse C2C12 myoblasts, indicating that osteoactivin might functionally target fibroblasts. Treatment with recombinant mouse osteoactivin increased the amounts of collagen type I, MMP-3, and MMP-9 in mouse NIH-3T3 fibroblasts. The upregulated expression of these fibroblast marker proteins was significantly inhibited by heparin, but not by an integrin inhibitor, indicating that a heparin-binding motif in the extracellular domain might be an active site of osteoactivin. In osteoactivin-transgenic mice, denervation further enhanced expression of MMP-3 and MMP-9 in fibroblasts infiltrated into gastrocnemius muscle, compared with wild-type mice. Our present results suggest that osteoactivin might function as an activator for fibroblasts infiltrated into denervated skeletal muscles and play an important role in regulating degeneration/regeneration of extracellular matrix. sciatic neurectomy; Gpnmb family; C2C12 cells; NIH-3T3 cells; osteoactivin-transgenic mice 相似文献

Matrix metalloproteinase-9 plays an important role in the invasion and metastasis of various types of cancer cells. We have previously reported that excretory–secretory products from Clonorchis sinensis increases matrix metalloproteinase-9 expression. However, the regulatory mechanisms through which matrix metalloproteinase-9 expression affects cholangiocarcinoma development remain unclear. In the current study, we examined the potential role of excretory–secretory products in regulating the migration and invasion of various cholangiocarcinoma cell lines. We demonstrated that excretory–secretory products significantly induced matrix metalloproteinase-9 expression and activity in a concentration-dependent manner. Reporter gene and chromatin immunoprecipitation assays showed that excretory–secretory products induced matrix metalloproteinase-9 expression by enhancing the activity of nuclear factor-kappa B. Moreover, excretory–secretory products induced the degradation and phosphorylation of IκBα and stimulated nuclear factor-kappa B p65 nuclear translocation, which was regulated by extracellular signal-regulated kinase 1/2. Taken together, our findings indicated that the excretory–secretory product-dependent enhancement of matrix metalloproteinase-9 activity and subsequent induction of IκBα and nuclear factor-kappa B activities may contribute to the progression of cholangiocarcinoma. 相似文献

Oxidative stress in the lumbar disc leads to the degeneration of nucleus pulposus (NP). However, the molecular mechanisms underlying this process remain unclear. In this study, we delineated a key calcium-binding protein, S100A9, which was induced by oxidative stress and was highly expressed in the degenerative NP. Immunofluorescence staining and Western blotting revealed that S100A9 induced NP cell apoptosis in vitro by up-regulating the expression of pro-apoptotic markers, including cleaved caspase-3, cytochrome c and Bax. Moreover, RT-PCR analyses revealed that the expression of S100A9 caused NP matrix degradation by up-regulating the expression of matrix degradation enzymes and increased the inflammatory response by up-regulating cytokine expression. Therefore, S100A9 induced NP cell degeneration by exerting pro-apoptotic, pro-degradation and pro-inflammatory effects. The detailed mechanism underlying S100A9-induced NP degeneration was explored by administering SC75741, a specific NF-κB inhibitor in vitro. We concluded that S100A9 induced NP cell apoptosis, caused matrix degradation and amplified the inflammatory response through the activation of the NF-κB signalling pathway. Inhibition of these pro-apoptotic, pro-degradation and pro-inflammatory effects induced by S100A9 in NP may be a favourable therapeutic strategy to slow lumbar disc degeneration. 相似文献

Helicobacter pylori cag pathogenicity island (PAI) is a major determinant of gastric injury via induction of several matrix metalloproteinases (MMPs). In the present study, we examined the influence of the cag PAI on gastric infection and MMP-9 production in mice and in cultured cells. A new mouse colonizing Indian H. pylori strain (AM1) that lacks the cag PAI was used to study the cag PAI importance in inflammation. Groups of C57BL/6 mice were inoculated separately with H. pylori strains AM1 and SS1 (cag+), gastric tissues were histologically examined, and bacterial colonization was scored by quantitative culture. Mice infected with either cag+ or cag- H. pylori strains showed gastric inflammation and elevated MMP-3 production. Significant up-regulation of pro-MMP-9 secretion and gene expression in H. pylori infected gastric tissues indicate dispensability of cag PAI for increased pro-MMP-9 secretion and synthesis in mice. In agreement, cell culture studies revealed that both AM1 and SS1 were equipotent in pro-MMP-9 induction in human gastric epithelial cells. Both strains showed moderate increase in MMP-2 activity in vivo and in vitro. In addition, increased secretion of tumor necrosis factor (TNF)-alpha, interleukin (IL)-1beta, and IL-6 induced pro-MMP-9 secretion and synthesis in AM1 or SS1 strain-infected mice suggesting elicitation of pro-inflammatory cytokines by both cag- and cag+ genotype. Moreover, tissue inhibitors of metalloproteinase-1 expression were decreased with increase in pro-MMP-9 induction. These data show that H. pylori may act through different pathways other than cag PAI-mediated for gastric inflammation and contribute to up-regulation of MMP-9 via pro-inflammatory cytokines. 相似文献

Oxidative stress has been reported to be closely associated with the development of intervertebral disc degeneration (IDD). IDD is one of the major causes of low back pain. Genistein (GES), one of the main isoflavones of soybean, has been shown to exert multiple biological functions on different diseases. Here, we tested the therapeutic potential of GES for IDD. In vitro experiments, we confirmed GES was nontoxic to rat nucleus pulposus cells (NPCs) within the concentration of 100 μM. Furthermore, GES was able to suppress apoptosis in tert-butyl hydroperoxide (TBHP)-treated NPCs. In the aspect of extracellular matrix (ECM), GES not only reduced metalloproteinase-13 (MMP-13) and a disintegrin-like and MMP thrombospondin type 1 motif 5 expression, but also increased aggrecan and type II collagen levels. Also, we found GES might rescue TBHP-induced NPCs degeneration by enhancing Nrf2-mediated antioxidant defense system. Silencing Nrf2 partly abolished the protective effects of GES on apoptosis and ECM disruption in TBHP-treated NPCs. Correspondingly, GES ameliorated IDD in a rat model by preserving morphology of degenerative intervertebral discs and promoting Nrf2 expression. To sum up, our study suggests that GES exerts protective effects in NPCs against degeneration and reveals the underlying mechanism of GES on Nrf2 activation in NPCs. 相似文献

Ubiquitin conjugation typically requires three classes of enzyme: E1, E2, and E3. A fourth type of enzyme (E4), however, was recently shown to be required for the degradation of certain types of substrate in yeast. We previously identified UFD2a (also known as E4B) as an E4 in mammals. UFD2a is exclusively expressed in cardiac muscle during mouse embryonic development, but it is abundant in neurons of adult mice and is implicated in the pathogenesis of neurodegenerative disease. The precise physiological function of this enzyme has remained largely unknown, however. Here, we show that mice lacking UFD2a die in utero, manifesting marked apoptosis in the developing heart. Polyubiquitylation activity for an E4 substrate was greatly reduced in Ufd2a(-/-) mouse embryonic fibroblasts. Furthermore, Ufd2a(+/-) mice displayed axonal dystrophy in the nucleus gracilis, as well as degeneration of Purkinje cells accompanied by endoplasmic reticulum stress. These animals also developed a neurological disorder. UFD2a thus appears to be essential for the development of cardiac muscle, as well as for the protection of spinocerebellar neurons from degeneration induced by endoplasmic reticulum stress. 相似文献

Angiostrongylus cantonensis: role of eosinophils in the neurotoxic syndrome (Gordon-like phenomenon) 总被引:2,自引:0,他引:2
The role of eosinophils in the pathophysiology of Angiostrongylus cantonensis infections was investigated in nonpermissive (guinea pig) and permissive (rat) hosts. Neurological symptoms similar to the Gordon phenomenon (ataxia, tremor, paralysis) together with a loss of Purkinje cells in the cerebellum were observed after intracraneal injection of human eosinophil extracts or after infection with A. cantonensis, only in guinea pigs and not in rats. Blood eosinophilia as well as eosinophil numbers present in the cerebellum and in the cerebrospinal fluid were higher in guinea pigs than in rats, at all times after infection with A. cantonensis. Increased levels of cytotoxicity toward L3 larvae in vitro were obtained in the presence of guinea pig eosinophils and IgE antibodies, rather than with the corresponding rat effector system. The detection of one eosinophil granule component, the eosinophil peroxidase, in the cerebrospinal fluid from infected guinea pigs but not from rats suggested that in nonpermissive hosts, neurological disorders, similar to the previously described Gordon phenomenon, might be due to eosinophil neurotoxins released after interaction of eosinophils with the parasites. 相似文献
