We previously demonstrated that endoplasmic reticulum (ER) stress was triggered in human hepatocarcinoma 7721 cells transfected with antisense cDNA of N-acetylglucosaminyltransferase V (GnT-V-AS/7721) which were more susceptible to apoptosis induced by all-trans retinoic acid (ATRA). In the present study, we report that ATRA-induced apoptosis in GnT-V-AS/7721 cells is mediated through ER stress. We show here that ER stress is enhanced in GnT-V-AS/7721 cells with 80 microM ATRA treatment for 24 h, which is evidenced by the increase of GRP78/Bip, C/EBP-homologous protein-10 (CHOP, also known as GADD153) and spliced XBP1. Additionally, activation of caspase-12, caspase-9, and -3 was detected, and apoptosis morphology was observed in GnT-V-AS/7721 cells with ATRA treatment. These results suggest that ATRA enhances the ER stress triggered in GnT-V-AS/7721 cells, which represents a novel mechanism of ATRA to induce apoptosis. We further observed that GnT-V was significantly repressed and the structure of N-glycans was changed in GnT-V-AS/7721 cells with 80 microM ATRA treatment for 24 h, suggesting that repression of GnT-V by ATRA causes the enhanced ER stress and ER stress-mediated apoptosis in GnT-V-AS/7721 cells. 相似文献

Cellular retinoic acid binding protein (CRABP) is a member of intracellular lipid-binding protein (iLBP), and closely associated with retinoic acid (RA) activity. We have cloned the CRABP gene from silkworm pupae and studied the interaction between Bombyx mori CRABP (BmCRABP) and all-trans retinoic acid (atRA). The MTT assay data indicated that when BmCRABP is overexpressed in Bm5 cells, the cells dramatically resisted to atRA-induced growth inhibition. Conversely, the cells were sensitive to atRA treatment upon knocking down the BmCRABP expression. Subcellular localization revealed that BmCRABP is a cytoplasm protein, even when treated with atRA, the CRABP still remained in the cytoplasm. These data demonstrated that the function of BmCRABP have an effect on the physiological function of atRA. 相似文献

Retinoic acid (RA) modulates differentiation and apoptosis of neural cells via RA receptors (RARs) and retinoid X receptors (RXRs). Neuroblastoma cells are potentially useful models for elucidating the molecular mechanisms of RA in neural cells, and responses to different isomers of RA have been interpreted in terms of differential homo- and heterodimerization of RXRs. The aim of this study was to identify the RXR types expressed in neuroblast and substrate-adherent neuroblastoma cells, and to study the participation of these RXRs in RAR heterodimers. RXRbeta was the predominant RXR type in N-type SH SY 5Y cells and S-type SH EP cells. Gel shift and supershift assays demonstrated that RARbeta and RARgamma predominantly heterodimerize with RXRbeta. In SH SY 5Y cells, RARgamma/RXRbeta was the predominant heterodimer binding to the DR5 RARE in the absence of 9-cis RA (9C), whereas the balance shifted in favor of RARbeta/RXRbeta in the presence of ligand. There was a marked difference between the N- and S-type neuroblastoma cells in retinoid receptor-DNA interactions, and this may underlie the differential effects of retinoids in these neuroblastoma cell types. There was no evidence to indicate that 9C functions via RXR homodimers in either SH SY 5Y or SH EP neuroblastoma cells. The results of this study suggest that interactions between retinoid receptors and other nuclear proteins may be critical determinants of retinoid responses in neural cells. 相似文献

atRA (all-trans-retinoic acid) is known to induce the differentiation of mESCs (mouse embryonic stem cells) into PGCs (primordial germ cells) in vitro. However, it is not clear as to what changes occur in PGC differentiation-associated genes or what mechanisms are involved when EBs (embryoid bodies) derived from mESCs are induced by atRA. EBs derived from mESCs were treated with 1, 2 or 5 μM atRA for 16 h, 2 days or 5 days. Real-time PCR and Western blot analysis were performed to detect the relative levels of PGC differentiation-associated genes (Lin28, Blimp1, Stra8 and Mvh) and the corresponding proteins respectively. Immunofluorescence was used to detect the protein location and distribution in EBs. The expression characteristics of genes could be divided into three categories: rapidly reached the peak value in 16 h and then decreased (Stra8, Lin28), initially low and then increased to reach the peak value in 5 days (Mvh) and relatively unchanged (Blimp1). A low level of Lin28 was expressed in EBs treated with atRA for 2 days or 5 days. The variation in the level of Lin28 mRNA did not influence the change in the level of Blimp1 mRNA. The changes in Stra8/Lin28 were consistent with the corresponding changes in the levels of their respective mRNAs, but the changes for Mvh/Blimp1 were not consistent with the corresponding changes in the levels of their respective mRNAs. Blimp1 expression may be independent of the effect of atRA on PGC differentiation. atRA may promote the start of a period in which there is a low level of Lin28 expression during PGC differentiation. 相似文献

Ferroptosis has been reported as a unique form of cell death. However, in recent years, researchers have increasingly challenged the uniqueness of ferroptosis compared to other types of cell death. In this study, we examined whether ferroptosis shares cell death pathways with other types of cell death, especially autophagy, via the autophagic process. Here, we observed that ferroptosis inducers (artesunate [ART] and erastin [ERA]) and autophagy inducers (bortezomib [BOR] and XIE62-1004) led to autophagosome formation via the endoplasmic reticulum (ER) stress response. Unlike XIE62-1004, ART, ERA, and BOR, which affect glutathione production or utilization, induced oxidative stress responses—an increase in the levels of heme oxygenase-1 and lipid peroxidation. Oxidative stress responses were attenuated by deletion of autophagy-related gene-5 or treatment with autophagy inhibitors (bafilomycin and chloroquine). Our studies provide an overview of common death pathways—the ER stress response-associated autophagic process in ferroptosis and autophagy. We also highlight the role played by glutathione redox system in the outcome of the autophagic process. 相似文献

Mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) can differentiate into neurons in an appropriate cellular environment. Retinoid signaling pathway is required in neural development. However, the effect and mechanism through retinoid signaling regulates neuronal differentiation of MSCs are still poorly understood. Here, we report that all‐trans‐retinoic acid (ATRA) pre‐induction improved neuronal differentiation of rat MSCs. We found that, when MSCs were exposed to different concentrations of ATRA (0.01–100 μmol/L) for 24 h and then cultured with modified neuronal induction medium (MNM), 1 μmol/L ATRA pre‐induction significantly improved neuronal differentiation efficiency and neural‐cell survival. Compared with MNM alone induced neural‐like cells, ATRA/MNM induced cells expressed higher levels of Nestin, neuron specific enolase (NSE), microtubule‐associated protein‐2 (MAP‐2), but lower levels of CD68, glial fibrillary acidic protein (GFAP), and glial cell line‐derived neurotrophic factor(GDNF), also exhibited higher resting membrane potential and intracellular calcium concentration, supporting that ATRA pre‐induction promotes maturation and function of derived neurons but not neuroglia cells from MSCs. Endogenous retinoid X receptors (RXR) RXRα and RXRγ (and to a lesser extent, RXRβ) were weakly expressed in MSCs. But the expression of RARα and RARγ was readily detectable, whereas RARβ was undetectable. However, at 24 h after ATRA treatment, the expression of RARβ, not RARα or RARγ, increased significantly. We further found the subnuclear redistribution of RARβ in differentiated neurons, suggesting that RARβ may function as a major mediator of retinoid signaling during neuronal differentiation from MSCs. ATRA treatment upregulated the expression of Vimentin and Stra13, while it downregulated the expression of Brachyury in MSCs. Thus, our results demonstrate that pre‐activation of retinoid signaling by ATRA facilitates neuronal differentiation of MSCs. 相似文献

Hyperhomocysteinemia (HHcy) accelerates atherosclerosis by increasing proliferation and stimulating cytokine secretioninTcells.However,whetherhomocysteine (Hcy)-mediated T cell activation is associated with metabolic reprogramming is unclear. Here, our in vivoand in vitrostudies showed that Hcy-stimulated splenic T-cell activation in mice was accompanied by increased levels of mitochondrial reactive oxygen species (ROS) and calcium, mitochondrial mass and respiration. Inhibiting mitochondrial ROS production and calcium signals or blocking mitochondrial respiration largely blunted Hcy-induced T-cell interferon γ (IFN-γ) secretion and proliferation. Hcy also enhanced endoplasmic reticulum (ER) stress in T cells, and inhibition ofERstress with 4-phenylbutyric acid blocked Hcy-induced T-cell activation. Mechanistically, Hcy increased ER-mitochondria coupling, and uncoupling ER-mitochondria by the microtubule inhibitor nocodazole attenuated Hcy-stimulated mitochondrial reprogramming, IFN-γ secretion and proliferation in T cells, suggesting that juxtaposition of ER and mitochondria is required for Hcy-promoted mitochondrial function and T-cell activation. In conclusion, Hcy promotes T-cell activation by increasing ER-mitochondria coupling and regulating metabolic reprogramming. 相似文献

Previous studies have suggested an association of hyperhomocysteinemia-induced vascular pathology with enhanced apoptotic potential of endothelial progenitor cells in patients with coronary heart disease. Our results indicate that 500 μmol/L homocysteine induced endothelial progenitor cell apoptosis and activation of caspase-3, both of which were abolished by 100 μmol/L and 200 μmol/L salubrinal, an agent that prevents endoplasmic reticulum stress-induced apoptosis. The addition of 500 μmol/L homocysteine caused a release of Ca2+ from intracellular stores, and enhanced phosphor-eukaryotic initiation factor 2α phosphorylation at Ser51 and the expression of a glucose-regulated protein of 78 kDa and a C/EBP homologous protein independently of extracellular Ca2+. These effects of homocysteine on endothelial progenitor cells were significantly greater in patients with coronary heart disease than in healthy donors. These findings suggest that homocysteine induces endoplasmic reticulum stress-mediated activation of caspase-3 in endothelial progenitor cells, an event that is enhanced in patients with coronary heart disease. Furthermore, enhanced endoplasmic reticulum stress-mediated activation of caspase-3 in endothelial progenitor cells might be involved in hyperhomocysteinemia-associated vascular pathology. 相似文献

Previous studies have shown that N1,N12‐bis(all‐trans‐retinoyl)spermine (RASP), a retinoid analog, inhibits RNase P activity and angiogenesis in the chicken embryo chorioallantoic membrane, demonstrates anti‐tumor activity on prostate cancer cells, and acts as anti‐inflammatory agent, being more effective and less toxic than all‐trans retinoic acid. In an attempt to further characterize the biological profile of RASP, we tested its effects on organ toxicity and teratogenicity by daily oral gavage of RASP at a level of 50 mg/Kg of body weight in two generations of rats. We found that this compound does not induce changes to the body growth, the appearance of physical features, and the animal's reflexes. Additionally, no substantial histopathological lesions were found in brain, heart, lung, thymus, liver, thyroid gland, adrenal gland, pituitary gland, kidneys, spleen, skin, femora, prostate, testis, epididymis, vagina, uterus, and ovaries of RASP‐treated animals. These results suggest RASP, as a promising lead compound for the treatment of several dermatological disorders and certain cancer types, has apparently minimal toxic side‐effects as revealed in this two‐generation reproduction study in rats. 相似文献

All-trans retinoic acid (ATRA) can down regulate the anti-apoptotic protein Bcl-2 and the cell cycle proteins cyclin D1 and cdk2 in estrogen receptor-positive breast cancer cells. We show here that retinoids can also reduce expression of the inhibitor of apoptosis protein, survivin. Here we have compared the regulation of these proteins in MCF-7 and ZR-75 breast cancer cells by natural and synthetic retinoids selective for the RA receptors (RARs) alpha, beta, and gamma then correlated these with growth inhibition, induction of apoptosis and chemosensitization to Taxol. In both cell lines ATRA and 9-cis RA induced the most profound decreases in cyclin D1 and cdk2 expression and also mediated the largest growth inhibition. The RARalpha agonist, Ro 40-6055 also strongly downregulated these proteins although did not produce an equivalent decrease in S-phase cells. Only ATRA induced RARbeta expression. ATRA, 9-cis RA and 4-HPR initiated the highest level of apoptosis as determined by mitochondrial Bax translocation, while only ATRA and 9-cis RA strongly reduced Bcl-2 and survivin protein expression. Enumeration of dead cells over 96 h correlated well with downregulation of both survivin and Bcl-2. Simultaneous retinoid-mediated reduction of both these proteins also predicted optimal Taxol sensitization. 4-HPR was much weaker than the natural retinoids with respect to Taxol sensitization, consistent with the proposed requirement for reduced Bcl-2 in this synergy. Neither the extent of cell cycle protein regulation nor AP-1 inhibition fully predicted the antiproliferative effect of the synthetic retinoids suggesting that growth inhibition requires regulation of a spectrum of RAR-regulated gene products in addition even to pivotal cell cycle proteins. 相似文献

The binding of retinoic acid to mutants of Cellular Retinoic Acid Binding Protein II (CRABPII) was evaluated to better understand the importance of the direct protein/ligand interactions. The important role of Arg111 for the correct structure and function of the protein was verified and other residues that directly affect retinoic acid binding have been identified. Furthermore, retinoic acid binding to CRABPII mutants that lack all previously identified interacting amino acids was rescued by providing a carboxylic acid dimer partner in the form of a Glu residue.

We have previously reported a novel CD45‐positive cell population called peripheral blood insulin‐producing cells (PB‐IPCs) and its unique potential for releasing insulin in vitro. Despite the CD45‐positive phenotype and self‐renewal ability, PB‐IPCs are distinguished from hemopoietic and endothelial progenitor cells (EPCs) by some characteristics, such as a CD34‐negative phenotype and different culture conditions. We have further identified the gene profiles of the embryonic and neural stem cells, and these profiles include Sox2, Nanog, c‐Myc, Klf4, Notch1 and Mash1. After treatment with all‐trans retinoic acid (ATRA) in vitro, most PB‐IPCs exhibited morphological changes that included the development of elongated and branched cell processes. In the process of induction, the mRNA expression of Hes1 was robustly upregulated, and a majority of cells acquired some astrocyte‐associated specific phenotypes including anti‐glial fibrillary acidic protein (GFAP), CD44, Glutamate‐aspartate transporter (GLAST) and S100β. In spite of the deficiency of glutamate uptaking, the differentiated cells significantly relaxed the regulation of the expression of brain‐derived neurotrophic factor (BDNF) mRNA. This finding demonstrates that PB‐IPCs could be induced into a population of astrocyte‐like cells and enhanced the neurotrophic potential when the state of proliferation was limited by ATRA, which implies that this unique CD45+ cell pool may have a protective role in some degenerative diseases of the central nervous system (CNS). 相似文献

BACKGROUND: Our laboratory has been conducting positive control studies to evaluate the utility of micro‐computed tomography (micro‐CT) for qualitative evaluation of fetal skeletal morphology. All‐trans‐retinoic acid (atRA) was used to produce a different spectrum of defects compared to our previous studies with boric acid and hydroxyurea. METHODS: Groups of five mated Crl:CD(SD) female rats each were administered vehicle or atRA (2.5–50 mg/kg) on GD 10, and groups of four mated Dutch Belted rabbits each were dosed with vehicle or atRA (6.25–25 mg/kg) on GD 9. Cesarean sections were performed on GD 21 and 28, respectively. Following external examination the viscera were removed and fetuses scanned in a micro‐CT imaging system. Fetuses were subsequently stained with alizarin red. Skeletal morphology was evaluated by each method without the knowledge of treatment group. Total bone mineral content (BMC) of each fetus was quantitated using the micro‐CT images. RESULTS: In rats there were dose‐related increases in the incidence of extra lumbar vertebra and non‐dose‐related increases in supernumerary ribs at all dose levels. There were decreases in mean number of ossified sacrocaudal vertebra at ≥5 mg/kg, and increases in skull bone malformations at ≥10 mg/kg. Rabbits were less sensitive on a mg/kg basis since skeletal malformations and a decrease in mean number of ossified sacrocaudal vertebra were observed only in the 25‐mg/kg group. Micro‐CT evaluation detected essentially the same incidence of skeletal abnormalities as seen in alizarin red‐stained rat and rabbit fetuses. BMC analysis showed a trend toward slight decreases in atRA‐treated rats, but no notable changes in rabbits. CONCLUSIONS: These results add support to our previous work that demonstrates that micro‐CT imaging can effectively assess rat and rabbit fetal skeletal morphology.

As embryonic progenitors for the gametes, PGCs (primordial germ cells) proliferate and develop under strict regulation of numerous intrinsic and external factors. As the most active natural metabolite of vitamin A, all-trans RA (retinoic acid) plays pivotal roles in regulating development of various cells. The proliferating action of RA on PGCs was investigated along with the intracellular PI3K (phosphoinositide 3-kinase)/Akt (protein kinase B; also known as Akt)-mediated NF-κB (nuclear factor κB) signalling cascade. The results show that RA significantly promoted PGC proliferation in a dose- and time-dependent manner, confirmed by BrdU (bromodeoxyuridine) incorporation and cell cycle analysis. However, this promoting effect was attenuated by sequential inhibitors of LY294002 for PI3K, KP372-1 for Akt and SN50 for NF-κB respectively. Western blot analysis showed increased Akt phosphorylation (Ser473) of PGCs after stimulation with RA, but this was abolished by LY294002 or KP372-1. Treatment with RA increased expression of NF-κB and decreased IκBα (inhibitory κBα) expression, which were inhibited by SN50. Blockade of PI3K or Akt activity inhibited NF-κB translocation from the cytoplasm to the nucleus. Finally, mRNA expression of cell cycle regulating genes [cyclin D1 and E, CDK6 (cyclin-dependent kinase 6) and CDK2] was up-regulated in the RA-treated cells. This stimulation was also markedly retarded by combined treatment with LY294002, KP372-1 and SN50. These results suggest that RA activates the PI3K/Akt and NF-κB signalling cascade to promote proliferation of the cultured chicken PGCs. 相似文献
