Tissue inhibitor of metalloproteinase-1 (TIMP-1) plays various roles in cell growth in different cell types. However, few
studies have focused on TIMP-1’s effect on fibroblast cells. In this study, we investigated the effects of TIMP-1 overexpression
on NIH3T3 fibroblast proliferation and potential transduction signaling pathways involved. Overexpression of TIMP-1, by transfection
of the pLenti6/V5-DESTTIMP-1 plasmid, significantly promoted NIH3T3 proliferation as determined by the BrdU array. Neither
5 nor 15 nM GM6001 (matrix metalloproteinase system inhibitor) affected NIH3T3 proliferation, but 45 nM GM6001 inhibited proliferation.
TIMP-1 overexpression activated the p-Akt pathway, but not the p-ERK or p-p38 pathway. In TIMP-1-transfected cells, cyclinD1
was upregulated and p21CIP1 and p27KIP1 were downregulated, which promoted cell entry into the S and G2/M phases. The PI3-K inhibitor LY294002 abolished the TIMP-1-induced
effects. Overexpression of intracellular TIMP-1 stimulated NIH3T3 fibroblast proliferation in a matrix metalloproteinase (MMP)-independent
manner by activating the p-Akt pathway and related cell cycle progression. 相似文献

Nephrogenic systemic fibrosis (NSF) is a fibrosing disorder disease developed in patients with underlying renal insufficiency following exposure to gadolinium-based contrast agents (GBCAs). Previous studies have demonstrated that GdCl3 can promote NIH3T3 fibroblast cell proliferation, which provide a new clue to the role of GBCAs in the development of NSF. In the present study, we further clarify the molecular mechanism of Gd-promoted proliferation. The results showed that intervention with the Rac inhibitor NSC23766 abrogated Gd-promoted proliferation. The levels of active Rac1 significantly increased in Gd-treated cells detected by pull-down assays. In addition, the phosphorylation of Akt was significantly elevated in the treatment group, which was blocked by NSC23766. NSC23766 also reduced the migration of NIH3T3 cells enhanced by Gd. Moreover, the F-actin cytoskeleton was strengthened and the mitotic cell numbers was significantly increased after exposure to Gd. These results suggest that Rac and PI3K/Akt signaling pathways, as well as integrin-mediated signal pathway may play important roles in Gd-induced cell proliferation. In addition, under serum-free condition, Gd could decrease ROS accumulation and increase NIH3T3 cell survival. 相似文献

Phosphatidylinositol (PI) 3-kinase is required for G1 to S phase cell cycle progression stimulated by a variety of growth factors and is implicated in the activation of several downstream effectors, including p70S6K. However, the molecular mechanisms by which PI 3-kinase is engaged in activation of the cell cycle machinery are not well understood. Here we report that the expression of a dominant negative (DN) form of either the p110α catalytic or the p85 regulatory subunit of heterodimeric PI 3-kinase strongly inhibited epidermal growth factor (EGF)-induced upregulation of cyclin D1 protein in NIH 3T3(M17) fibroblasts. The PI 3-kinase inhibitors LY294002 and wortmannin completely abrogated increases in both mRNA and protein levels of cyclin D1 and phosphorylation of pRb, inducing G1 arrest in EGF-stimulated cells. By contrast, rapamycin, which potently suppressed p70S6K activity throughout the G1 phase, had little inhibitory effect, if any, on either of these events. PI 3-kinase, but not rapamycin-sensitive pathways, was also indispensable for upregulation of cyclin D1 mRNA and protein by other mitogens in NIH 3T3 (M17) cells and in wild-type NIH 3T3 cells as well. We also found that an enforced expression of wild-type p110 was sufficient to induce cyclin D1 protein expression in growth factor-deprived NIH 3T3(M17) cells. The p110 induction of cyclin D1 in quiescent cells was strongly inhibited by coexpression of either of the PI 3-kinase DN forms, and by LY294002, but was independent of the Ras-MEK-ERK pathway. Unlike mitogen stimulation, the p110 induction of cyclin D1 was sensitive to rapamycin. These results indicate that the catalytic activity of PI 3-kinase is necessary, and could also be sufficient, for upregulation of cyclin D1, with mTOR signaling being differentially required depending upon cellular conditions. 相似文献

The clinical efficacy of many chemotherapeutic agents has been reduced due to the development of drug resistance. In this article, we aimed to validate gossypol, a natural BH3 mimetic found in cottonseeds, as a potential therapeutic to overcome multidrug resistance (MDR). Gossypol was found to retain its efficacy in v‐Ha‐ras‐transformed NIH 3T3 cells that overexpressed P‐glycoprotein (Ras‐NIH 3T3/Mdr), which was similar to the efficacy observed in their parental counterparts (Ras‐NIH 3T3). A rhodamine assay revealed that the alteration of MDR activity did not contribute to the cytotoxic effect of gossypol. Gossypol caused a G2/M arrest by the induction of p21Cip1 and the down‐regulation of p27Kip1 expression in Ras‐NIH 3T3 cells, whereas no significant G2/M arrest was exhibited in Ras‐NIH 3T3/Mdr cells. Surprisingly, a 48‐h treatment with gossypol induced apoptotic cell death in Ras‐NIH 3T3 cells; however, gossypol induced both apoptosis and necrosis in Ras‐NIH 3T3/Mdr cells, as determined with flow cytometry analysis. More notably, gossypol preferentially induced autophagy in Ras‐NIH 3T3 cells but not in Ras‐NIH 3T3/Mdr cells. Coimmunoprecipitation and flow cytometric analysis revealed that gossypol‐induced autophagy is independent of the dissociation of Beclin 1 from Bcl‐2 in Ras‐NIH 3T3 cells. Taken together, these results suggest that the antiproliferative activity of gossypol appears to be due to cell‐cycle arrest at the G2/M phase, with the induction of apoptosis in Ras‐NIH 3T3 cells. In addition, defective autophagy might contribute to apoptotic and necrotic cell death in response to gossypol in Ras‐NIH 3T3/Mdr cells. J. Cell.

Dynamin has been implicated in the formation of nascent vesicles through both endocytic and secretory pathways. However, dynamin has recently been implicated in altering the cell membrane shape during cell migration associated with cytoskeleton-related proteins. Myosin Ⅱ has been implicated in maintaining cell morphology and in cellular movement. Therefore, reciprocal immunoprecipitation was carried out to identify the potential relationship between dynamin Ⅱ and myosin Ⅱ. The dynamin Ⅱ expression level was higher when co-expressed with myosin Ⅱ in Ras transformed NIH3T3 cells than in normal NIH3T3 cells. Confocal microscopy also confirmed the interaction between these two proteins. Interestingly, exposing the NIH3T3 cells to platelet-derived growth factor altered the interaction and localization of these two proteins. The platelet-derived growth factor treatment induced lamellipodia and cell migration, and dynamin Ⅱ inter- acted with myosin Ⅱ. Grb2, a 24 kDa adaptor protein and an essential element of the Ras signaling pathway, was found to be associated with dynamin Ⅱ and myosin Ⅱ gene expression in the Ras transformed NIH3T3 cells. These results suggest that dynamin Ⅱ acts as an intermediate messenger in the Ras signal transduction pathway leading to membrane ruffling and cell migration. 相似文献

Microinjection of Onconase or RNase A into NIH/3T3 cells was used to study the intracellular actions of these two proteins. Onconase preferentially killed actively growing cells in both microinjection and cell culture experiments. Moreover, agents that increased the number of cells in S phase such as serum or microinjected signal transduction mediators (Ras, protein kinase C, and mitogen-activated protein kinase) enhanced Onconase cytotoxicity. Conversely, agents that decreased these proliferative pathways (dibutyryl cAMP and protein kinase A) correspondingly diminished Onconase cytotoxicity in microinjection experiments. These results were also mimicked in cell culture experiments since log-phase v-ras-transformed NIH/3T3 cells were more sensitive to Onconase (IC50 of 7 microg/ml) than parental NIH/3T3 fibroblasts (IC50 of 40 microg/ml). Based on those data we postulated that Onconase-mediated cell death in NIH/3T3 cells was related to events occurring at two or more points in the cell cycle preferentially associated with late G1/S and S phases. In contrast, quiescent NIH/3T3 cells were more sensitive to microinjected RNase A than log phase cells and positive mediators of proliferative signal transduction did not enhance RNase A-mediated cytotoxicity. Taken together, these results demonstrate that these two RNases use different pathways and/or mechanisms to elicit cytotoxic responses in NIH/3T3 cells. Predictions formulated from these studies can be tested for relevance to RNase actions in different target tumor cells. 相似文献

Up-regulation of glutathione biosynthesis in NIH3T3 cells transformed with the ETV6-NTRK3 gene fusion 总被引:1,自引:0,他引:1
The ETV6-NTRK3 gene fusion, first identified in the chromosomal translocation in congenital fibrosarcoma, encodes a chimeric protein tyrosine kinase with potent transforming activity. ETV6-NTRK3-dependent transformation involves the joint action of NTRK3 signaling pathways, and aberrant cell cycle progression resulting from activation of Mek1 and Akt. The level of glutathione (GSH) was found to be markedly increased in ETV6-NTRK3-transformed NIH3T3 cells. The activities of the two GSH biosynthetic enzymes as well as of glutathione peroxidase, together with their mRNAs, were also higher in the transformed cells. The transformed cells were able to grow in the presence of GSH-depleting agents, whereas the control cells were not. L-Buthionine-(S,R)-sulfoximine (BSO) inhibited activation of Mek1 and Akt in the transformed NIH3T3 cells. These observations imply that up-regulation of GSH biosynthesis plays a central role in ETV6-NTRK3-induced transformation. 相似文献

The thrombopoietin receptor is a crucial element in thrombopoietin-initiated signaling pathways, which stimulates the differentiation of normal hematopoietic progenitor cells, the maturation of megakaryocytes, and the generation of platelets. In this study, we identified a novel activating variant of thrombopoietin receptor, termed Mpl-D, in human megakaryoblastic leukemia Dami cells and demonstrated that the binding affinity of the Mpl-D receptor for thrombopoietin is enhanced. Cell cycle analysis revealed that in the presence of thrombopoietin, most Mpl-D expressing NIH3T3 (NIH3T3/Mpl-D) cells were prevalent in G1 phase while the S and G2/M populations were less frequently observed. Unexpectedly, thrombopoietin induced strong and prolonged ERK1/2 signaling in NIH3T3/Mpl-D cells compared with its receptor wild-type expressing NIH3T3 (NIH3T3/Mpl-F) cells. Further analysis of the mRNA levels of cyclin D1/D2 in NIH3T3/Mpl-D cells demonstrated markedly down-regulated expression compared to NIH3T3/Mpl-F cells in the presence of thrombopoietin. Thus, the prolonged activation of ERK1/2 by Mpl-D might lead to G1 cell cycle arrest through a profound reduction of cyclin D1/D2 in order to support cell survival without proliferation. We also provided tertiary structural basis for the Mpl-D and thrombopoietin interaction, which might provide insights into how Mpl-D effectively increases binding to thrombopoietin and significantly contributes to its specific signaling pathway. These results suggest a new paradigm for the regulation of cytokine receptor expression and function through the alternative splicing variant of Mpl in Dami cells, which may play a role in the pathogenesis of megakaryoblastic leukemia. 相似文献

Activation of G(q) protein-coupled receptors can either stimulate or inhibit cell growth. Previously, these opposite effects were explained by differences in the cell models. Here we show that activation of m3 muscarinic acetylcholine receptors ectopically expressed in NIH3T3 cells can cause stimulation and inhibition of growth in the same cell. A clonal cell line was selected from cells that formed foci agonist dependently (3T3/m3 cells). In quiescent 3T3/m3 cells, carbachol stimulated DNA synthesis. In contrast, when 3T3/m3 cells were growing, either due to the presence of serum or after transformation with oncogenic v-src, carbachol inhibited growth. This inhibition was not due to reduction of extracellular signal-regulated kinase activity because carbachol induced extracellular signal-regulated kinase phosphorylation in both quiescent and growing 3T3/m3 cells. Investigating the cell cycle mechanisms involved in growth inhibition, we found that carbachol treatment decreased cyclin D1 levels, increased p21(cip1) expression, and led to hypophosphorylation of the retinoblastoma gene product (Rb). Proteasome inhibitors blocked the carbachol-induced degradation of cyclin D1. Effects on p21(cip1) were blocked by a protein kinase C inhibitor. Thus, m3 muscarinic acetylcholine receptors couple to both growth-stimulatory and -inhibitory signaling pathways in NIH3T3 cells, and the observed effects of receptor activation depend on the context of cellular growth. 相似文献

Gadolinium-promoted cell cycle progression with enhanced S-phase entry via activation of both ERK and PI3K signaling pathways in NIH 3T3 cells 总被引:1,自引:0,他引:1

The aim of this study was to investigate whether Gd is able to exert the proliferation-promoting effect and to explore its
possible underlying mechanism. We showed that Gd promoted cell cycle progression with increased S-phase entry in a concentration-
and time-dependent manner in NIH 3T3 cells. The effect was further evidenced by the expressions of key proteins in driving
cells through the G1/S transition point of the cell cycle. In the presence of Gd, the protein levels of cyclins D, E, and A were dramatically
increased and demonstrated a characteristically temporal pattern of sequential mitotic events. Additionally, the levels of
phosphorylated retinoblastoma protein were also significantly increased at certain time periods. To further elucidate the
underlying mechanism, extracellular signal-regulated kinase and phosphatidylinositol 3-kinase signaling pathways were assessed.
Both pathways were activated by Gd. Moreover, the levels of cyclin D and cyclin A were evaluated after the addition of the
pharmacological inhibitors at early and late G1 phases, correspondingly, to reveal the contribution of the two pathways in the Gd-promoted G1/S transition. It showed that both pathways were needed for Gd-promoted cell cycle progression. The results presented here
provide novel evidence to advance knowledge leading to further understanding of the mechanisms of both cell growth and death
caused by Gd and may be helpful for more rational application of Gd-based compounds in the future. 相似文献

Expression of Nanog gene promotes NIH3T3 cell proliferation 总被引:9,自引:0,他引:9

Cells are the functional elements in tissue engineering and regenerative medicine. A large number of cells are usually needed for these purposes. However, there are numbers of limitations for in vitro cell proliferation. Nanog is an important self-renewal determinant in embryonic stem cells. However, it remains unknown whether Nanog will influence the cell cycle and cell proliferation of mature cells. In this study, we expressed Nanog in NIH3T3 cells and showed that expression of Nanog in NIH3T3 promoted cells to enter into S phase and enhanced cell proliferation. This suggests that Nanog gene might function in a similar fashion in mature cells as in ES cells. In addition, it may provide an approach for in vitro cell expansion. 相似文献

Prostate androgen regulated (PAR) is a 1038bp novel gene located on chromosome 1 in epidermal differentiation complex. The gene is ubiquitously expressed in normal tissues and is overexpressed in most of their malignant counterparts. PAR cellular function is unknown. Here we report the effect of increased PAR expression induced by transfection of PAR cDNA on NIH3T3 cell phenotype. PAR-NIH3T3 transfectants expressing 3- to 4-fold higher PAR levels compared to controls grew faster in tissue cultures, formed colonies in soft agar, and exhibited a shortening of G1 and S phases of cell cycle and formed tumors in SCID mice. Transfection of NIH3T3 cells with increased ectopic PAR expression with a 22 mer oligonucleotide in antisense orientation with PAR mRNA abrogated their ability to form colonies in soft agar. The data presented here along with our previously reported results on DU145 cells transfected with antisense PAR cDNA suggest that PAR gene behaves like a proto-oncogene. 相似文献

A range of debilitating human diseases is known to be associated with the formation of stable highly organized protein aggregates known as amyloid fibrils. The early prefibrillar aggregates behave as cytotoxic agents and their toxicity appears to result from an intrinsic ability to impair fundamental cellular processes by interacting with cellular membranes, causing oxidative stress and increase in free Ca2+ that lead to apoptotic or necrotic cell death. However, specific signaling pathways that underlie amyloid pathogenicity remain still unclear. This work aimed to clarify cell impairment induced by amyloid aggregated. To this end, we used a combined proteomic and one‐dimensional 1H‐NMR approach on NIH‐3T3 cells exposed to prefibrillar aggregates from the amyloidogenic apomyoglobin mutant W7FW14F. The results indicated that cell exposure to prefibrillar aggregates induces changes of the expression level of proteins and metabolites involved in stress response. The majority of the proteins and metabolites detected are reported to be related to oxidative stress, perturbation of calcium homeostasis, apoptotic and survival pathways, and membrane damage. In conclusion, the combined proteomic and 1H‐NMR metabonomic approach, described in this study, contributes to unveil novel proteins and metabolites that could take part to the general framework of the toxicity induced by amyloid aggregates. These findings offer new insights in therapeutic and diagnostic opportunities. J. Cell. Physiol. 228: 1359–1367, 2013. © 2012 Wiley Periodicals, Inc. 相似文献

The interactions between Notch (N) receptors and their transmembrane ligands, Jagged1 (JI) and Delta1 (Dl1), mediate signaling events between neighboring cells that are crucial during embryonal development and in adults. Since the non-transmembrane extracellular form of J1 acts as an antagonist of N activation in NIH 3T3 mouse fibroblast cells and induces fibroblast growth factor 1 (FGF1)-dependent transformation (Small, D., Kovalenko, D., Soldi, R., Mandinova, A., Kolev, V., Trifonova, R., Bagala, C., Kacer, D., Battelli, C., Liaw, L., Prudovsky, I., and Maciag, T. (2003) J. Biol. Chem. 278, 16405-16413), we examined the potential redundant functions of the two subfamilies of Notch ligands and report that while the soluble (s) forms of both Dl1 and J1 act as N signaling antagonists in NIH 3T3 cells, they do display disparate functions. While sJ1 induced an attenuation of cell motility which is accompanied by a decrease in actin stress fibers and an increase in adherence junctions, sDl1 does not. However, sJ1, like sDl1, induces a NIH 3T3 cell tranformed phenotype mediated by FGF signaling. Because the inhibition of N signaling by sJ1 and sDl1 is rescued by dominant-negative Src expression, we suggest that there may be cooperation between the Notch and Src signaling pathways. 相似文献

Heterotrimeric G protein G12 stimulates diverse physiological responses including the activities of Na+/H+ exchangers and Jun kinases. We have observed that the expression of the constitutively activated, GTPase-deficient mutant of Galpha(12) (Galpha(12)QL) accelerates the hyperosmotic response of NIH3T3 cells as monitored by the hyperosmotic stress-stimulated activity of JNK1. The accelerated response appears to be partly due to the increased basal activity of JNK since cell lines-such as NIH3T3 cells expressing JNK1-in which JNK activity is elevated, show a similar response. NIH3T3 cells expressing Galpha(12)QL also display heightened sensitivity to hyperosmotic stress. This is in contrast to JNK1-NIH3T3 cells that failed to enhance sensitivity although they do exhibit an accelerated hyperosmotic response. Reasoning that the increased sensitivity seen in Galpha(12)QL cells is due to a signaling component other than JNK, the effect of dimethyamiloride, an inhibitor of Na+/H+ exchanger in this response, was assessed. Treatment of vector control NIH3T3 cells with 50 microM dimethylamiloride potently inhibited their hyperosmotic response whereas the response was only partially inhibited in Galpha(12)QL-NIH3T3 cells. These results, for the first time, identify that NHEs are upstream of the JNK module in the hyperosmotic stress-signaling pathway and that Galpha(12) can enhance this response by modulating either or both of these components namely, JNKs and NHEs in NIH3T3 cells. 相似文献
