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

Glycogen synthase kinase‐3 beta (GSK‐3β) dysfunction may play an essential role in the pathogenesis of psychiatric, metabolic, neurodegenerative diseases, in which oxidative stress exists concurrently. Some studies have shown that GSK‐3β activity is up‐regulated under oxidative stress. This study evaluated how oxidative stress regulates GSK‐3β activity in human embryonic kidney 293 (HEK293)/Tau cells treated with hydrogen peroxide (H2O2). Here, we show that H2O2 induced an obvious increase of GSK‐3β activity. Surprisingly, H2O2 dramatically increased phosphorylation of GSK‐3β at Ser9, an inactive form of GSK‐3β,while there were no changes of phosphorylation of GSK‐3β at Tyr216. Moreover, H2O2 led to a transient [Ca2+]i elevation, and simultaneously increased the truncation of GSK‐3β into two fragments of 40 kDa and 30 kDa, whereas inhibition of calpain decreased the truncation and recovered the activity of GSK‐3β. Furthermore, tau was hyperphosphorylated at Ser396, Ser404, and Thr231, three most common GSK‐3β targeted sites after 100 μM H2O2 administration in HEK293/Tau cells, whereas inhibition of calpain blocked the tau phosphorylation. In addition, we found that there were no obvious changes of Cyclin‐dependent kinase 5 (CDK5) expression (responsible for tau phosphorylation) and of p35 cleavage, the regulatory subunit of CDK5 in H2O2‐treated HEK293/Tau cells. In conclusion, Ca2+‐dependent calpain activation leads to GSK‐3β truncation, which counteracts the inhibitory effect of Ser9 phosphorylation, up‐regulates GSK‐3β activity, and phosphorylates tau in H2O2‐treated HEK293/Tau cells. 相似文献

Abstract : Valproic acid (VPA) is a potent broad‐spectrum anti‐epileptic with demonstrated efficacy in the treatment of bipolar affective disorder. It has previously been demonstrated that both VPA and lithium increase activator protein‐1 (AP‐1) DNA binding activity, but the mechanisms underlying these effects have not been elucidated. However, it is known that phosphorylation of c‐jun by glycogen synthase kinase (GSK)‐3β inhibits AP‐1 DNA binding activity, and lithium has recently been demonstrated to inhibit GSK‐3β. These results suggest that lithium may increase AP‐1 DNA binding activity by inhibiting GSK‐3β. In the present study, we sought to determine if VPA, like lithium, regulates GSK‐3. We have found that VPA concentration‐dependently inhibits both GSK‐3α and ‐3β, with significant effects observed at concentrations of VPA similar to those attained clinically. Incubation of intact human neuroblastoma SH‐SY5Y cells with VPA results in an increase in the subsequent in vitro recombinant GSK‐3β‐mediated 32P incorporation into two putative GSK‐3 substrates (~85 and 200 kDa), compatible with inhibition of endogenous GSK‐3β by VPA. Consistent with GSK‐3β inhibition, incubation of SH‐SY5Y cells with VPA results in a significant time‐dependent increase in both cytosolic and nuclear β‐catenin levels. GSK‐3β plays a critical role in the CNS by regulating various cytoskeletal processes as well as long‐term nuclear events and is a common target for both lithium and VPA ; inhibition of GSK‐3β in the CNS may thus underlie some of the long‐term therapeutic effects of mood‐stabilizing agents. 相似文献

Perturbations in the balanced process of osteoblast-mediated bone formation and osteoclast-mediated bone resorption leading to excessive osteoclast formation and/or activity is the cause of many pathological bone conditions such as osteoporosis. The osteoclast is the only cell in the body capable of resorbing and degrading the mineralized bone matrix. Osteoclast formation from monocytic precursors is governed by the actions of two key cytokines macrophage-colony-stimulating factor and receptor activator of nuclear factor-κB ligand (RANKL). Binding of RANKL binding to receptor RANK initiates a series of downstream signaling responses leading to monocytic cell differentiation and fusion, and subsequent mature osteoclast bone resorption and survival. The phosphoinositide-3-kinase (PI3K)-protein kinase B (Akt) signaling cascade is one such pathway activated in response to RANKL. The 3-phosphoinositide-dependent protein kinase 1 (PDK1), is considered the master upstream lipid kinase of the PI3K-Akt cascade. PDK1 functions to phosphorylate and partially activate Akt, triggering the activation of downstream effectors. However, the role of PDK1 in osteoclasts has yet to be clearly defined. In this study, we specifically deleted the PDK1 gene in osteoclasts using the cathepsin-K promoter driven Cre-LoxP system. We found that the specific genetic ablation of PDK1 in osteoclasts leads to an osteoclast-poor osteopetrotic phenotype in mice. In vitro cellular assays further confirmed the impairment of osteoclast formation in response to RANKL by PDK1-deficient bone marrow macrophage (BMM) precursor cells. PDK1-deficient BMMs exhibited reduced ability to reorganize actin cytoskeleton to form a podosomal actin belt as a result of diminished capacity to fuse into giant multinucleated osteoclasts. Notably, biochemical analyses showed that PDK1 deficiency attenuated the phosphorylation of Akt and downstream effector GSK3β, and reduced induction of NFATc1. GSK3β is a reported negative regulator of NFATc1. GSK3β activity is inhibited by Akt-dependent phosphorylation. Thus, our data provide clear genetic and mechanistic insights into the important role for PDK1 in osteoclasts. 相似文献

Stem‐cell antigen 1–positive (Sca‐1+) cardiac stem cells (CSCs), a vital kind of CSCs in humans, promote cardiac repair in vivo and can differentiate to cardiomyocytes with 5′‐azacytizine treatment in vitro. However, the underlying molecular mechanisms are unknown. β‐arrestin2 is an important scaffold protein and highly expressed in the heart. To explore the function of β‐arrestin2 in Sca‐1+ CSC differentiation, we used β‐arrestin2–knockout mice and overexpression strategies. Real‐time PCR revealed that β‐arrestin2 promoted 5′‐azacytizine‐induced Sca‐1+ CSC differentiation in vitro. Because the microRNA 155 (miR‐155) may regulate β‐arrestin2 expression, we detected its role and relationship with β‐arrestin2 and glycogen synthase kinase 3 (GSK3β), another probable target of miR‐155. Real‐time PCR revealed that miR‐155, inhibited by β‐arrestin2, impaired 5′‐azacytizine‐induced Sca‐1+ CSC differentiation. On luciferase report assay, miR‐155 could inhibit the activity of β‐arrestin2 and GSK3β, which suggests a loop pathway between miR‐155 and β‐arrestin2. Furthermore, β‐arrestin2‐knockout inhibited the activity of GSK3β. Akt, the upstream inhibitor of GSK3β, was inhibited in β‐arrestin2‐Knockout mice, so the activity of GSK3β was regulated by β‐arrestin2 not Akt. We transplanted Sca‐1+ CSCs from β‐arrestin2‐knockout mice to mice with myocardial infarction and found similar protective functions as in wild‐type mice but impaired arterial elastance. Furthermore, low level of β‐arrestin2 agreed with decreased phosphorylation of AKT and increased phophorylation of GSK3β, similar to in vitro findings. The β‐arrestin2/miR‐155/GSK3β pathway may be a new mechanism with implications for treatment of heart disease. 相似文献

Glycogen synthase kinase-3β (GSK-3β) is a serine/threonine kinase originally identified as a regulator of glycogen deposition. Although the role of GSK-3β in osteoblasts is well characterized as a negative regulator of β-catenin, its effect on osteoclast formation remains largely unidentified. Here, we show that the GSK-3β inactivation upon receptor activator of NF-κB ligand (RANKL) stimulation is crucial for osteoclast differentiation. Regulation of GSK-3β activity in bone marrow macrophages by retroviral expression of the constitutively active GSK-3β (GSK3β-S9A) mutant inhibits RANKL-induced osteoclastogenesis, whereas expression of the catalytically inactive GSK-3β (GSK3β-K85R) or small interfering RNA (siRNA)-mediated GSK-3β silencing enhances osteoclast formation. Pharmacological inhibition of GSK-3β further confirmed the negative role of GSK-3β in osteoclast formation. We also show that overexpression of the GSK3β-S9A mutant in bone marrow macrophages inhibits RANKL-mediated NFATc1 induction and Ca(2+) oscillations. Remarkably, transgenic mice expressing the GSK3β-S9A mutant show an osteopetrotic phenotype due to impaired osteoclast differentiation. Further, osteoclast precursor cells from the transgenic mice show defects in expression and nuclear localization of NFATc1. These findings demonstrate a novel role for GSK-3β in the regulation of bone remodeling through modulation of NFATc1 in RANKL signaling. 相似文献

Muscle fiber degeneration in sporadic inclusion‐body myositis (s‐IBM) is characterized by accumulation of multiprotein aggregates, including aggregated amyloid‐β (Aβ)‐precursor protein 751 (AβPP751), Aβ, phosphorylated tau, and other ‘Alzheimer‐characteristic’ proteins. Proteasome inhibition is an important component of the s‐IBM pathogenesis. In brains of Alzheimer’s disease (AD) patients and AD transgenic‐mouse models, phosphorylation of neuronal AβPP695 (p‐AβPP) on Thr668 (equivalent to T724 of AβPP751) is considered detrimental because it increases generation of cytotoxic Aβ and induces tau phosphorylation. Activated glycogen synthase kinase3β (GSK3β) is involved in phosphorylation of both AβPP and tau. Lithium, an inhibitor of GSK3β, was reported to reduce levels of both the total AβPP and p‐AβPP in AD animal models. In relation to s‐IBM, we now show for the first time that (1) In AβPP‐overexpressing cultured human muscle fibers (human muscle culture IBM model: (a) proteasome inhibition significantly increases GSK3β activity and AβPP phosphorylation, (b) treatment with lithium decreases (i) phosphorylated‐AβPP, (ii) total amount of AβPP, (iii) Aβ oligomers, and (iv) GSK3β activity; and (c) lithium improves proteasome function. (2) In biopsied s‐IBM muscle fibers, GSK3β is significantly activated and AβPP is phosphorylated on Thr724. Accordingly, treatment with lithium, or other GSK3β inhibitors, might benefit s‐IBM patients. 相似文献

Activation of peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor-alpha prevents glycogen synthase 3beta phosphorylation and inhibits cardiac hypertrophy 总被引:2,自引:0,他引:2
Activation of peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor-alpha (PPAR-alpha) has been recently reported to inhibit vascular inflammatory response and prevent cardiac hypertrophy. However, it is unclear how the activation of PPAR-alpha regulates hypertrophic response. In the present study, we found that application of fenofibrate and overexpression of PPAR-alpha inhibited endothelin-1 (ET-1)-induced phosphorylation of protein kinase B (Akt) at Ser473 and glycogen synthase kinase3beta (GSK3beta) at Ser9, and prevented ET-1-induced nuclear translocation of NFATc4 in cardiomyocytes. Moreover, co-immunoprecipitation studies showed that fenofibrate strongly induced the association of nuclear factor of activated T cells (NFATc4) with PPAR-alpha. These results suggest that activation of PPAR-alpha inhibits ET-1-induced cardiac hypertrophy through regulating PI3K/Akt/GSK3beta and NFAT signaling pathways. 相似文献
