Late‐stage hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) usually has a low survival rate because of the high risk of metastases and the lack of an effective cure. Disulfiram (DSF) has copper (Cu)‐dependent anticancer properties in vitro and in vivo. The present work aims to explore the anti‐metastasis effects and molecular mechanisms of DSF/Cu on HCC cells both in vitro and in vivo. The results showed that DSF inhibited the proliferation, migration and invasion of HCC cells. Cu improved the anti‐metastatic activity of DSF, while Cu alone had no effect. Furthermore, DSF/Cu inhibited both NF‐κB and TGF‐β signalling, including the nuclear translocation of NF‐κB subunits and the expression of Smad4, leading to down‐regulation of Snail and Slug, which contributed to phenotype epithelial–mesenchymal transition (EMT). Finally, DSF/Cu inhibited the lung metastasis of Hep3B cells not only in a subcutaneous tumour model but also in an orthotopic liver metastasis assay. These results indicated that DSF/Cu suppressed the metastasis and EMT of hepatic carcinoma through NF‐κB and TGF‐β signalling. Our study indicates the potential of DSF/Cu for therapeutic use. 相似文献

Cementum regeneration, as one of the most difficult challenges of periodontal regeneration, is influenced by inflammatory factors. Inflammation may hamper or promote periodontal tissue repair under different circumstances, as it is found to do in dentin‐pulp complex and bone tissue. Our team demonstrated that YAP promotes mineralization of OCCM, a cementoblast cell line. However, the effect of YAP on its mineralization under inflammatory microenvironment is unclear. In this study, cementogenesis in vitro was up‐regulated after transient TNF‐α treatment for 30 minutes. YAP expression also was increased by TNF‐α treatment. YAP overexpression promoted OCCM mineralization after the cells were transiently treated with TNF‐α because YAP overexpression inhibited NF‐κB pathway activity, while YAP knockdown elevated it. The inhibited mineralization potential and activated NF‐κB pathway activity by YAP knockdown also were partly rescued by the application of the NF‐κB inhibitor Bay 11‐7082. These results demonstrated that YAP plays a positive role in the mineralization of TNF‐α transiently treated cementoblast, partly by inhibiting the NF‐κB pathway activity. 相似文献

Background: Anomalous expression of activation‐induced cytidine deaminase (AID) in Helicobacter pylori‐infected gastric epithelial cells has been postulated as one of the key mechanisms in the development of gastric cancer. AID is overexpressed in the cells through nuclear factor (NF)‐κB activation by H. pylori and hence, inhibition of NF‐κB pathway can downregulate the expression of AID. Curcumin, a spice‐derived polyphenol, is known for its anti‐inflammatory activity via NF‐κB inhibition. Therefore, it was hypothesized that curcumin might suppress AID overexpression via NF‐κB inhibitory activity in H. pylori‐infected gastric epithelial cells. Materials and Methods: MKN‐28 or MKN‐45 cells and H. pylori strain 193C isolated from gastric cancer patient were used for co‐culture experiments. Cells were pretreated with or without nonbactericidal concentrations of curcumin. Apoptosis was determined by DNA fragmentation assay. Enzyme‐linked immunosorbent assay was performed to evaluate the anti‐adhesion activity of curcumin. Real‐time polymerase chain reaction was employed to evaluate the expression of AID mRNA. Immunoblot assay was performed for the analysis of AID, NF‐κB, inhibitors of NF‐κB (IκB), and IκB kinase (IKK) complex regulation with or without curcumin. Results: The adhesion of H. pylori to gastric epithelial cells was not inhibited by curcumin pretreatment at nonbactericidal concentrations (≤10 μmol/L). Pretreatment with nonbactericidal concentration of curcumin downregulated the expression of AID induced by H. pylori. Similarly, NF‐κB activation inhibitor (SN‐50) and proteasome inhibitor (MG‐132) also downregulated the mRNA expression of AID. Moreover, curcumin (≤10 μmol/L) has suppressed H. pylori‐induced NF‐κB activation via inhibition of IKK activation and IκB degradation. Conclusion: Nonbactericidal concentrations of curcumin downregulated H. pylori‐induced AID expression in gastric epithelial cells, probably via the inhibition of NF‐κB pathway. Hence, curcumin can be considered as a potential chemopreventive candidate against H. pylori‐related gastric carcinogenesis. 相似文献

Acetate supplementation increases brain acetyl‐CoA and histone acetylation and reduces lipopolysaccharide (LPS)‐induced neuroglial activation and interleukin (IL)‐1β expression in vivo. To determine how acetate imparts these properties, we tested the hypothesis that acetate metabolism reduces inflammatory signaling in microglia. To test this, we measured the effect acetate treatment had on cytokine expression, mitogen‐activated protein kinase (MAPK) signaling, histone H3 at lysine 9 acetylation, and alterations of nuclear factor‐kappa B (NF‐κB) in primary and BV‐2 cultured microglia. We found that treatment induced H3K9 hyperacetylation and reversed LPS‐induced H3K9 hypoacetylation similar to that found in vivo. LPS also increased IL‐1β, IL‐6, and tumor necrosis factor‐alpha (TNF‐α) mRNA and protein, whereas treatment returned the protein to control levels and only partially attenuated IL‐6 mRNA. In contrast, treatment increased mRNA levels of transforming growth factor‐β1 (TGF‐β1) and both IL‐4 mRNA and protein. LPS increased p38 MAPK and JNK phosphorylation at 4 and 2–4 h, respectively, whereas treatment reduced p38 MAPK and JNK phosphorylation only at 2 h. In addition, treatment reversed the LPS‐induced elevation of NF‐κB p65 protein and phosphorylation at serine 468 and induced acetylation at lysine 310. These data suggest that acetate metabolism reduces inflammatory signaling and alters histone and non‐histone protein acetylation. 相似文献

LIGHT recruits and activates naive T cells in the islets at the onset of diabetes. IFN‐γ secreted by activated T lymphocytes is involved in beta cell apoptosis. However, whether LIGHT sensitizes IFNγ‐induced beta cells destruction remains unclear. In this study, we used the murine beta cell line MIN6 and primary islet cells as models for investigating the underlying cellular mechanisms involved in LIGHT/IFNγ – induced pancreatic beta cell destruction. LIGHT and IFN‐γ synergistically reduced MIN6 and primary islet cells viability; decreased cell viability was due to apoptosis, as demonstrated by a significant increase in Annexin V+ cell percentage, detected by flow cytometry. In addition to marked increases in cytochrome c release and NF‐κB activation, the combination of LIGHT and IFN‐γ caused an obvious decrease in expression of the anti‐apoptotic proteins Bcl‐2 and Bcl‐xL, but an increase in expression of the pro‐apoptotic proteins Bak and Bax in MIN6 cells. Accordingly, LIGHT deficiency led to a decrease in NF‐κB activation and Bak expression, and peri‐insulitis in non‐obese diabetes mice. Inhibition of NF‐κB activation with the specific NF‐κB inhibitor, PDTC (pyrrolidine dithiocarbamate), reversed Bcl‐xL down‐regulation and Bax up‐regulation, and led to a significant increase in LIGHT‐ and IFN‐γ‐treated cell viability. Moreover, cleaved caspase‐9, ‐3, and PARP (poly (ADP‐ribose) polymerase) were observed after LIGHT and IFN‐γ treatment. Pretreatment with caspase inhibitors remarkably attenuated LIGHT‐ and IFNγ‐induced cell apoptosis. Taken together, our results indicate that LIGHT signalling pathway combined with IFN‐γ induces beta cells apoptosis via an NF‐κB/Bcl2‐dependent mitochondrial pathway. 相似文献

Helicobacter pylori (H. pylori) is a common pathogenic bacterium in the stomach that infects almost half of the population worldwide and is closely related to gastric diseases and some extragastric diseases, including iron‐deficiency anemia and idiopathic thrombocytopenic purpura. Both the Maastricht IV/Florence consensus report and the Kyoto global consensus report have proposed the eradication of H. pylori to prevent gastric cancer as H.pylori has been shown to be a major cause of gastric carcinogenesis. The interactions between H. pylori and host receptors induce the release of the proinflammatory cytokines by activating proinflammatory signaling pathways such as nuclear factor kappa B (NF‐κB), which plays a central role in inflammation, immune response, and carcinogenesis. Among these receptors, Toll‐like receptors (TLRs) are classical pattern recognition receptors in the recognition of H. pylori and the mediation of the host inflammatory and immune responses to H. pylori. TLR polymorphisms also contribute to the clinical consequences of H. pylori infection. In this review, we focus on the functions of TLRs in the NF‐κB signaling pathway activated by H. pylori, the regulators modulating this response, and the functions of TLR polymorphisms in H.pylori‐related diseases. 相似文献

Chronic rhinosinusitis without nasal polyps (CRSsNP) is one of the most common otorhinolaryngologic diseases worldwide. However, the underlying mechanism remains unclear. In this study, the expression of glycogen synthase kinase 3 (GSK‐3) was quantitatively evaluated in patients with CRSsNP (n = 20) and healthy controls (n = 20). The mRNA levels of GSK‐3α and GSK‐3β were examined by qPCR, the immunoreactivities of GSK‐3β and nuclear factor‐κB (NF‐κB) were examined by immunohistochemistry (IHC) staining, and the protein levels of GSK‐3β, phospho‐GSK‐3β (p‐GSK‐3β, s9) and NF‐κB were examined using Western blot analysis. We found that GSK‐3 was highly expressed in both CRSsNP and control groups without significant difference in both GSK‐3β mRNA and protein levels. However, when compared with healthy control group, the GSK‐3β activation index, defined as the ratio of GSK‐3β over p‐GSK‐3β, was significantly decreased, whereas the NF‐κB protein abundance was significantly increased in CRSsNP group (P < 0.05). Strikingly, the GSK‐3β activation index, was highly correlated with NF‐κB protein level, as well as CT scores in CRSsNP group (P < 0.05). It was also highly correlated with the mRNA expressions of inflammation‐related genes, including T‐bet, IFN‐γ and IL‐4 in CRSsNP group (P < 0.05). Our findings suggest that GSK‐3β activation index, reflecting the inhibitory levels of GSK‐3β through phosphorylation, may be a potential indicator for recurrent inflammation of CRSsNP, and that the insufficient inhibitory phosphorylation of GSK‐3β may play a pivotal role in the pathogenesis of CRSsNP. 相似文献

The purpose of the present study was to investigate the effect of salidroside (Sal) on myocardial injury in lipopolysaccharide (LPS)‐induced endotoxemic in vitro and in vivo. SD rats were randomly divided into five groups: control group, LPS group (15 mg/kg), LPS plus dexamethasone (2 mg/kg), LPS plus Sal groups with different Sal doses (20, 40 mg/kg). Hemodynamic measurement and haematoxylin and eosin staining were performed. Serum levels of creatine kinase (CK), lactate dehydrogenase, the activities of the antioxidant enzymes catalase (CAT), superoxide dismutase (SOD), glutathione peroxidase (GSH‐px), glutathione, tumour necrosis factor‐α (TNF‐α), interleukin‐6 (IL‐6), and interleukin‐1β (IL‐1β) were measured after the rats were killed. iNOS, COX‐2, NF‐κB and PI3K/Akt/mTOR pathway proteins were detected by Western blot. In vitro, we evaluated the protective effect of Sal on rat embryonic heart‐derived myogenic cell line H9c2 induced by LPS. Reactive oxygen species (ROS) in H9c2 cells was measured by flow cytometry, and the activities of the antioxidant enzymes CAT, SOD, GSH‐px, glutathione‐S‐transferase, TNF‐α, IL‐6 and IL‐1β in cellular supernatant were measured. PI3K/Akt/mTOR signalling was examined by Western blot. As a result, Sal significantly attenuated the above indices. In addition, Sal exerts pronounced cardioprotective effect in rats subjected to LPS possibly through inhibiting the iNOS, COX‐2, NF‐κB and PI3K/Akt/mTOR pathway in vivo. Furthermore, the pharmacological effect of Sal associated with the ROS‐mediated PI3K/Akt/mTOR pathway was proved by the use of ROS scavenger, N‐acetyl‐l ‐cysteine, in LPS‐stimulated H9C2 cells. Our results indicated that Sal could be a potential therapeutic agent for the treatment of cardiovascular disease. 相似文献

Patients suffering from diabetes mellitus (DM) are at a severe risk of atherothrombosis. Early growth response (Egr)‐1 is well characterized as a central mediator in vascular pathophysiology. We tested whether valsartan independent of Ang II type 1 receptor (AT1R) can reduce tissue factor (TF) and toll‐like receptor (TLR)‐2 and ‐4 by regulating Egr‐1 in THP‐1 cells and aorta in streptozotocin‐induced diabetic mice. High glucose (HG, 15 mM) increased expressions of Egr‐1, TF, TLR‐2 and ‐4 which were significantly reduced by valsartan. HG increased Egr‐1 expression by activation of PKC and ERK1/2 in THP‐1 cells. Valsartan increased AMPK phosphorylation in a concentration and time‐dependent manner via activation of LKB1. Valsartan inhibited Egr‐1 without activation of PKC or ERK1/2. The reduced expression of Egr‐1 by valsartan was reversed by either silencing Egr‐1, or compound C, or DN‐AMPK‐transfected cells. Valsartan inhibited binding of NF‐κB and Egr‐1 to TF promoter in HG condition. Furthermore, valsartan reduced inflammatory cytokine (TNF‐α, IL‐6 and IL‐1β) production and NF‐κB activity in HG‐activated THP‐1 cells. Interestingly, these effects of valsartan were not affected by either silencing AT1R in THP‐1 cells or CHO cells, which were devoid of AT1R. Importantly, administration of valsartan (20 mg/kg, i.p) for 8 weeks significantly reduced plasma TF activity, expression of Egr‐1, TLR‐2, ‐4 and TF in thoracic aorta and improved glucose tolerance of streptozotocin‐induced diabetic mice. Taken together, we concluded that valsartan may reduce atherothrombosis in diabetic conditions through AMPK/Egr‐1 regulation. 相似文献

Cullin‐RING‐ubiquitin‐ligase (CRL)‐dependent ubiquitination of the nuclear factor kappa B (NF‐κB) inhibitor IκBα and its subsequent degradation by the proteasome usually precede NF‐κB/RelA nuclear activity. Through removal of the CRL‐activating modification of their cullin subunit with the ubiquitin (Ub)‐like modifier NEDD8, the COP9 signalosome (CSN) opposes CRL Ub‐ligase activity. While RelA phosphorylation was observed to mediate NF‐κB activation independent of Ub‐proteasome‐pathway (UPP)‐dependent turnover of IκBα in some studies, a strict requirement of the p97/VCP ATPase for both, IκBα degradation and NF‐κB activation, was reported in others. In this study, we thus aimed to reconcile the mechanism for tumour necrosis factor (TNF)‐induced NF‐κB activation. We found that inducible phosphorylation of RelA is accomplished in an IKK‐complex‐dependent manner within the NF‐κB/RelA‐IκBα‐complex contemporaneous with the phosphorylation of IκBα, and that RelA phosphorylation is not sufficient to dissociate NF‐κB/RelA from IκBα. Subsequent to CRL‐dependent IκBα ubiquitination functional p97/VCP is essentially required for efficient liberation of (phosphorylated) RelA from IκBα, preceding p97/VCP‐promoted timely and efficient degradation of IκBα as well as simultaneous NF‐κB/RelA nuclear translocation. Collectively, our data add new facets to the knowledge about maintenance of IκBα and RelA expression, likely depending on p97/VCP‐supported scheduled basal NF‐κB activity, and the mechanism of TNF‐induced NF‐κB activation. 相似文献

Correlation between periodontitis and atherosclerosis is well established, and the inherent mechanisms responsible for this relationship remain unclear. The biological function of growth arrest‐specific 6 (gas6) has been discovered in both atherosclerosis and inflammation. Inhibitory effects of gas6 on the expression of inflammatory factors in human umbilical vein endothelial cells (HUVECs) stimulated by Porphyromonas gingivalis lipopolysaccharide (P. gingivalis‐LPS) were reported in our previous research. Herein, the effects of gas6 on monocytes‐endothelial cells interactions in vitro and their probable mechanisms were further investigated. Gas6 protein in HUVECs was knocked down with siRNA or overexpressed with plasmids. Transwell inserts and co‐culturing system were introduced to observe chemotaxis and adhering affinity between monocytes and endothelial cells in vitro. Expression of gas6 was decreased in inflammatory periodontal tissues and HUVECs challenged with P. gingivalis‐LPS. The inhibitory effect of gas6 on chemotaxis and adhesion affinity between monocytes and endothelial cells was observed, and gas6 promoted Akt phosphorylation and inhibited NF‐κB phosphorylation. To our best knowledge, we are first to report that gas6 inhibit monocytes‐endothelial cells interactions in vitro induced by P. gingivalis‐LPS via Akt/NF‐κB pathway. Additionally, inflammation‐mediated inhibition of gas6 expression is through LncRNA GAS6‐AS2, rather than GAS6‐AS1, which is also newly reported. 相似文献

Retinitis pigmentosa (RP) is a group of inherited neurodegenerative diseases characterized by the loss of photoreceptor cells through apoptosis. N‐methyl‐N‐nitrosourea (MNU) is an alkylating toxicant that induces photoreceptor cell death resembling hereditary RP. This study aimed to investigate the role of nuclear factor κB (NF‐κB) in MNU‐induced photoreceptor degeneration. Adult rats received a single intraperitoneal injection of MNU (60 mg/kg bodyweight). Hematoxylin and eosin staining demonstrated progressive outer nuclear layer (ONL) loss after MNU treatment. Transmission electron microscopy revealed nuclear pyknosis, chromatin margination in the photoreceptors, increased secondary lysosomes, and lobulated retinal‐pigmented epithelial cells in MNU‐treated rats. Numerous photoreceptor cells in the ONL showed positive TUNEL staining and apoptosis rate peaked at 24 hours. Enhanced depth imaging spectral‐domain optical coherence tomography showed ONL thinning and decreased choroid thickness. Electroretinograms showed decreased A wave amplitude that predominated in scotopic conditions. Western blot analysis showed that nuclear IκBα level increased, whereas nuclear NF‐κB p65 decreased significantly in the retinas of MNU‐treated rats. These findings indicate that MNU leads to selective photoreceptor degradation, and this is associated with the inhibition of NF‐κB activation. 相似文献

A pathogenic connection between autoreactive T cells, fungal infection, and carcinogenesis has been demonstrated in studies of human autoimmune polyendocrinopathy‐candidiasis‐ectodermal dystrophy (APECED) as well as in a mouse model in which kinase‐dead Ikkα knock‐in mice develop impaired central tolerance, autoreactive T cell–mediated autoimmunity, chronic fungal infection, and esophageal squamous cell carcinoma, which recapitulates APECED. IκB kinase α (IKKα) is one subunit of the IKK complex required for NF‐κB activation. IKK/NF‐κB is essential for central tolerance establishment by regulating the development of medullary thymic epithelial cells (mTECs) that facilitate the deletion of autoreactive T cells in the thymus. In this review, we extensively discuss the pathogenic roles of inborn errors in the IKK/NF‐κB loci in the phenotypically related diseases APECED, immune deficiency syndrome, and severe combined immunodeficiency; differentiate how IKK/NF‐κB components, through mTEC (stroma), T cells/leukocytes, or epithelial cells, contribute to the pathogenesis of infectious diseases, autoimmunity, and cancer; and highlight the medical significance of IKK/NF‐κB in these diseases. 相似文献
