p53 controls crucial stress responses that play a major role in preventing malignant transformation. Hence, inactivation of p53 is the single most common genetic defect in human cancer. With the recent discovery of two close structural homologs, p63 en p73, we are getting a broader view of a fascinating gene family that links developmental biology with tumor biology. While unique roles are apparent for each of these genes, intimate biochemical cross-talk among family members suggests a functional network that might influence many different aspects of individual gene action. The most interesting part of this family network derives from the fact that the p63 and p73 genes are based on the ‘two-genes-in-one’ idea, encoding both agonist and antagonist in the same open reading frame. In this review, we attempt to present an overview of the current status of this fast moving field. 相似文献

Previous studies have described the role of p53 isoforms, including p53β and Δ133p53α, in the modulation of the activity of full-length p53, which regulates cell fate. In the context of influenza virus infection, an interplay between influenza viruses and p53 has been described, with p53 being involved in the antiviral response. However, the role of physiological p53 isoforms has never been explored in this context. Here, we demonstrate that p53 isoforms play a role in influenza A virus infection by using silencing and transient expression strategies in human lung epithelial cells. In addition, with the help of a panel of different influenza viruses from different subtypes, we also show that infection differentially regulates the expressions of p53β and Δ133p53α. Altogether, our results highlight the role of p53 isoforms in the viral cycle of influenza A viruses, with p53β and Δ133p53α acting as regulators of viral production in a p53-dependent manner. 相似文献

Diabetic microangiopathy is often observed in diabetic patients, but there is little evidence regarding the relationship between post-prandial glycemia or insulinemia and the incidence of diabetic microangiopathy. In this study, to elucidate the relationship between post-prandial glycemia (or insulinemia) and diabetic microangiopathy, we performed a cross-sectional study of 232 subjects with type 2 diabetes mellitus who were not being treated with insulin injections. A multiple regression analysis showed that post-prandial hyperglycemia independently correlated with the incidence of diabetic retinopathy and neuropathy. Post-prandial hyperglycemia also correlated, although not independently, with the incidence of diabetic nephropathy. In addition, interestingly, post-prandial hypoinsulinemia independently correlated with the incidence of diabetic retinopathy, although not correlated with diabetic neuropathy or nephropathy. In conclusion, post-prandial hyperglycemia, rather than fasting glycemia or hemoglobin A1c levels, is an important predictor of the incidence of diabetic microangiopathy in Japanese type 2 diabetic patients. 相似文献

The skin-specific chemokine CCL27 is believed to play a pivotal role in establishing the inflammatory infiltrate characteristic for common inflammatory skin diseases. Through binding to the chemokine receptor 10 (CCR10), CCL27 mediates inflammation by promoting lymphocyte migration into the skin. Little is known about the regulation of CCL27 gene expression. The purpose of our study was to investigate the regulation of the IL-1β-induced CCL27 gene expression in normal human keratinocytes (NHEK). Preincubation of NHEK with the inhibitory κB (IκB) kinase (IKK) inhibitor, SC-514, or the p38 mitogen-activated protein kinase (MAPK) inhibitor, SB202190, revealed a profound reduction in both CCL27 mRNA and CCL27 protein expression indicating the significance of these pathways in the regulation of CCL27 expression. Furthermore, the impact of inhibitors of mitogen- and stress-activated kinase 1 (MSK1) or the mitogen-activated protein kinase-interacting kinases (Mnk1+2), downstream kinases of p38 MAPK, on IL-1β-induced CCL27 expression in NHEK were investigated. We identified seven NF-κB binding elements upstream from the CCL27 gene start codon using electrophoretic mobility shift assay (EMSA). Supershift analyses demonstrated the involvement of the p50/p65 NF-κB heterodimer. We conclude that IL-1β-induced CCL27 gene expression in NHEK is regulated through the p38 MAPK/MSK1/Mnk1+2 as well as the IKKβ/NF-κB signalling pathways. 相似文献

Previous reports indicate that the expression of transforming growth factor (TGF-) is increased in enzyme-altered foci (EAF) arising in livers of rats treated with a carcinogen. Here we have investigated the effects of TGF- on EAF cells in vitro. Hepatocytes were isolated from rats that had received repeated treatment with diethylnitrosamine (DEN) and whose livers contained glutathione S-transferase P (GST-P)-positive EAF. Primary cultures of GST-P-positive and GST-P-negative hepatocytes were exposed to TGF-. TGF- (20–40 ng/ml) increased DNA replication in the GST-P-negative, but not in the GST-P-positive cells. Furthermore, it was shown that this effect on GST-P-negative cells could be blocked by p53 antisense oligonucleotides. We conclude that EAF hepatocytes do not respond to TGF- in vitro. This lack of response may reflect the attenuated expression of p53 in these cells. These data corroborate previous findings that, in response to DNA damage, many EAF hepatocytes do not accumulate p53. 相似文献

The p75NTR (where NTR is neurotrophin receptor) can mediate many distinct cellular functions, including cell survival and apoptosis, axonal growth and cell proliferation, depending on the cellular context. This multifunctional receptor is widely expressed in the CNS (central nervous system) during development, but its expression is restricted in the adult brain. However, p75NTR is induced by a variety of pathophysiological insults, including seizures, lesions and degenerative disease. We have demonstrated previously that p75NTR is induced by seizures in neurons, where it induces apoptosis, and in astrocytes, where it may regulate proliferation. In the present study, we have investigated whether the inflammatory cytokines IL (interleukin)-1β and TNF-α (tumour necrosis factor-α), that are commonly elevated in these pathological conditions, mediate the regulation of p75NTR in neurons and astrocytes. We have further analysed the signal transduction pathways by which these cytokines induce p75NTR expression in the different cell types, specifically investigating the roles of the NF-κB (nuclear factor κB) and p38 MAPK (mitogen-activated protein kinase) pathways. We have demonstrated that both cytokines regulate p75NTR expression; however, the mechanisms governing this regulation are cytokine- and cell-type specific. The distinct mechanisms of cytokine-mediated p75NTR regulation that we demonstrate in the present study may facilitate therapeutic intervention in regulation of this receptor in a cell-selective manner. 相似文献

Dysfunction of β-cell is one of major characteristics in the pathogenesis of type 2 diabetes. The combination of obesity and type 2 diabetes, characterized as 'diabesity', is associated with elevated plasma free fatty acids (FFAs). Oxidative stress has been implicated in the pathogenesis of FFA-induced β-cell dysfunction. However, molecular mechanisms linking between reactive oxygen species (ROS) and FFA-induced β-cell dysfunction and apoptosis are less clear. In the present study, we test the hypothesis that NOX2-derived ROS may play a critical role in dysfunction and apoptosis of β-cells induced by FFA. Our results show that palmitate and oleate (0.5 mmol/L, 48 h) induced JNK activation and AKT inhibition which resulted in decreased phosphorylation of FOXO1 following nuclear localization and the nucleocytoplasmic translocation of PDX-1, leading to the reducing of insulin and ultimately dysfunction of pancreatic NIT-1 cells. We also found that palmitate and oleate stimulated apoptosis of NIT-1 cells through p38MAPK, p53 and NF-κB pathway. More interestingly, our data suggest that suppression of NOX2 may restore FFA-induced dysfunction and apoptosis of NIT-1 cells. Our findings provide a new insight of the NOX2 as a potential new therapeutic target for preservation of β-cell mass and function. 相似文献

The use of methamphetamine (MA) has increased in recent years, and is a major health concern throughout the world. The use of MA has been associated with an increased risk of acquiring HIV-1, along with an increased probability of the acquisition of various sexually transmitted infections. In order to determine the potential effects of MA exposure in the context of an infectious agent, U937 macrophages were exposed to various combinations of MA and bacterial lipopolysaccharide (LPS). Treatment with MA alone caused significant increases in the levels of TNF-α, while treatment with both MA and LPS resulted in significant increases in TNF-α, IL-1β and the chemokine IL-8. The increases in cytokine or chemokine levels seen when cells were treated with both LPS and MA were generally greater than those increases observed when cells were treated with only LPS. Treatment with chemical inhibitors demonstrated that the signal transduction pathways including NF-kB, MAPK, and PI3-Akt were involved in mediating the increased inflammatory response. As discussed in the paper, these pathways appear to be utilized by both MA and LPS, in the induction of these inflammatory mediators. Since these pathways are involved in the induction of inflammation in response to other pathogens, this suggests that MA-exacerbated inflammation may be a common feature of infectious disease in MA abusers. 相似文献

Vasculogenesis, the establishment of the vascular plexus and angiogenesis, branching of new vessels from the preexisting vasculature, involves coordinated endothelial differentiation, proliferation and migration. Disturbances in these coordinated processes may accompany diseases such as cancer. We hypothesized that the p53 family member p73, which regulates cell differentiation in several contexts, may be important in vascular development. We demonstrate that p73 deficiency perturbed vascular development in the mouse retina, decreasing vascular branching, density and stability. Furthermore, p73 deficiency could affect non endothelial cells (ECs) resulting in reduced in vivo proangiogenic milieu. Moreover, p73 functional inhibition, as well as p73 deficiency, hindered vessel sprouting, tubulogenesis and the assembly of vascular structures in mouse embryonic stem cell and induced pluripotent stem cell cultures. Therefore, p73 is necessary for EC biology and vasculogenesis and, in particular, that DNp73 regulates EC migration and tube formation capacity by regulation of expression of pro-angiogenic factors such as transforming growth factor-β and vascular endothelial growth factors. DNp73 expression is upregulated in the tumor environment, resulting in enhanced angiogenic potential of B16-F10 melanoma cells. Our results demonstrate, by the first time, that differential p73-isoform regulation is necessary for physiological vasculogenesis and angiogenesis and DNp73 overexpression becomes a positive advantage for tumor progression due to its pro-angiogenic capacity.Vascular system formation is one of the earliest events during organogenesis.1 The original vascular plexus is established by vasculogenesis, through differentiation and assembly of mesodermal precursors.2 The angiogenesis process allows the formation of new blood vessels from the existing vasculature and is perturbed in many diseases, including cancer.3 Although efforts have been made to identify factors that control vascular development, the understanding of the molecular networks remains incomplete.The formation of new capillaries and the remodeling of preexisting blood vessels is linked by signal transduction pathways.4 The members of the p53 family (p53, p73 and p63) coordinate cell proliferation, migration and differentiation, and could act as regulators of vascular development. TP73 function in angiogenesis is quite controversial,5, 6, 7 and it has never been addressed using developmental models.TP73 has a dual nature that resides in the existence of TA and DNp73 variants. TAp73 is capable of transactivating p53 targets8, 9, 10 whereas DNp73 can act as p53 and TAp73 repressor.11, 12, 13
TP73 final outcome will depend upon the differential expression of the TA/DNp73 isoforms in each cellular context, as they can execute synergic, as well as antagonist, functions.TP73 role during development is emphasized by the p73-knockout mice (Trp73−/−, p73KO from now on) multiple growth defects.14 These mice, which lack all p73 isoforms, exhibit gastrointestinal and cranial hemorrhages,14 suggestive of vascular fragility. Furthermore, TAp73 directly regulates GATA-1,8 which is essential for endothelial and hematopoietic differentiation.15, 16 This compounded information led us to hypothesize that p73 could be implicated in the regulation of vasculogenesis/angiogenesis.Regulation of these processes involves a broad range of signaling molecules essential for vascular growth and stability,17 such as vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF)18 and transforming growth factor-β (TGF-β).19 TGF-β operates as a rheostat that controls endothelial cell (EC) differentiation, having an inhibitory effect on EC migration and proliferation by the TGF-β/TGFRI (ALK5)/Smad2/3 pathway, while the TβRII–ALK5/ALK1 complex activates Smad1/5/8, ID1 expression and a pro-angiogenic state.20, 21, 22Regulation of the TGF-β and VEGF pathways by p53 family members has been documented.23, 24 However, p73''s function in these pathways during development remains largely unexplored. In this work, we have used mouse embryonic stem cells (mESC) and induced pluripotent stem cells (iPSCs) as models that recapitulate early vascular morphogenesis.25, 26, 27 ESC and iPSC form multi-cellular aggregates (embryoid bodies, EBs) that, under appropriate conditions, generate functional EC.28 mESC and iPSC differentiation capacity into ECs has been fully addressed.29, 30 We have also performed retinal vascularization analysis to assess vascular processes in vivo.31, 32We demonstrate that p73 deficiency perturbs density and stability of mouse retinal development by affecting VEGF and TGF-β signaling. Furthermore, p73 is necessary for the assembly of vascular structures under physiological conditions in mESC and iPSC. Moreover, DNp73 positively affects angiogenesis through regulation of the TGF-β pathway in human umbilical vein cells (HUVEC) and DNp73-overexpression results in enhanced angiogenic potential of B16-F10 melanoma cells. 相似文献
