Tumour necrosis factor alpha (TNF-α) at 20 ng/ml induced apoptosis in human hepatoma cellsin vitro . The effect of TNF-α-induced apoptosis was exacerbated by the hypoxanthine-xanthine oxidase (HX/XO) system and cycloheximide (CHX), but alleviated by superoxide dismutase (SOD), suggesting that TNF-α-induced apoptosis may be due to oxidative stress, and independent of protein synthesis. TNF-α elevated free Ca2+concentration, triggered lipid peroxidation and decreased the expression of bcl-2 protein. The findings suggest that TNF-α-induced apoptosis may be involved in stimulating Ca2+-dependent endonuclease activity and increasing membrane lipid peroxidation. Bcl-2 may play a pivotal role in serving as a Ca2+regulator or antioxidant, preventing lipid peroxidation in the process. 相似文献

Ultraviolet B (UVB) irradiation causes cell death by apoptosis in murine fibroblast cells. Tumor necrosis factor-α (TNF-α) is also a well known inducer of apoptosis, although the physiological significance of this activity is poorly understood. We investigated the effects of pretreatment with UVB (312 nm) on TNF-α-induced apoptosis in murine fibroblast cells. UVB enhanced susceptibility to cell death by TNF-α in a dose-dependent manner. UVB but not TNF-α induced the expression of TNF receptor type-1 (TNFR-1) and type-2 (TNFR-2) in a dose-dependent manner. Expression of Fas (CD95) and Fas-ligand (Fas-L), and significant DNA fragmentation were observed in the cells that died. These results suggest that UVB irradiation modulates susceptibility to TNF-α-induced apoptosis through the induction of TNFRs, Fas, and Fas-L in murine fibroblasts. 相似文献

The direct interaction of filarial proteins with lung epithelial cells was examined to determine the possible mechanism of inducing cell death, an event that is observed in patients with tropical pulmonary eosinophilia. Exposure of lung epithelial cells to filarial parasitic proteins,Brugia malayi(BmA),Setaria digitata(Sd), and recombinant filarial protein (pGT 7)in vitrofor more than 2 days, causes the appearance of DNA fragments both in the cytoplasm and culture supernatants, while no fragmentation was observed in the untreated controls. The release of DNA fragments both in the cytoplasm and the culture supernatants simultaneously, indicates that cell death is induced by a necrotic event rather than apoptosis. Fluorescent-labelled studies also indicate the fragmentation of DNA increasing in a time-dependent manner. Normal cellular function is controlled through several oncogenes. The modulation of specific proto-oncogenes like myc, ras and TNFα during exposure to filarial parasitic proteins reveal elevated levels of expression of ras and TNFα as early as 2 hours, implicating their involvement prior to DNA fragmentation leading to pathogenesis. 相似文献

The p38 mitogen-activated protein kinase (MAPK) cascade transduces multiple extracellular signals from cell surface to nucleus and is employed in cellular responses to cellular stresses and apoptotic regulation. The involvement of the p38 MAPK cascade in opioid- and opioid receptor-like receptor-1 (ORL1) receptor-mediated signal transduction was examined in NG108-15 neuroblastoma x glioma hybrid cells. Stimulation of endogenous delta-opioid receptor (DOR) or ORL1 resulted in activation of p38 MAPK. It also induced the activation of extracellular signal-regulated kinases (ERKs), another member of the MAPK family, with slower kinetics. Activation of p38 MAPK was abolished by selective antagonists of DOR or ORL1, pretreatment with pertussis toxin, or SB203580, a specific inhibitor of p38 MAPK. Inhibition of p38 MAPK had no significant effect on opioid-induced ERK activation, indicating that p38 MAPK activity was not required for ERK activation, though its stimulation preceded ERK activation. Inhibition of protein kinase A (PKA) strongly diminished p38 activation mediated by DOR or ORL1 but had no significant effect on ERK activation, and protein kinase C (PKC) inhibitors potentiated stimulation of p38 while inhibiting activation of ERKs. Taken together, our results provide the first evidence for coupling of DOR and ORL1 to the p38 MAPK cascade and clearly demonstrate that receptor-mediated activation of p38 MAPK both involves PKA and is negatively regulated by PKC. 相似文献

TRAIL, the ligand for the newly discovered DR-4 and DR-5 receptor is a member of the tumour necrosis factor (TNF) family of death signal tranduction proteins with a mechanism of cell death, similar to the Fas and Fas ligand (Fas-L) system. Here, we provide first time evidence that TRAIL and TNF-α are potent inducers of apoptosis in multiple myeloma (MM) cell lines and freshly isolated myeloma cells. TRAIL effectively induced extensive apoptosis in 8226 and ARP-1 MM cells in a time- and dose-dependent manner reaching 80% within 48 h of treatment with a dose of 160 ng/ml. Bcl-2 transfected 8226 and ARP-1 cells were equally sensitive to apoptosis by TRAIL. Apoptosis with TNFα, reached >60% within 48 h of treatment with a dose of 160 ng/ml. In addition to MM cell lines, freshly isolated, flow-sorted myeloma cells from 8 different MM patients expressing variable levels of bcl-2 were equally sensitive to both TRAIL and TNF-α. We have previously shown that anti-Fas-induced apoptosis is not blocked by endogenous or ectopic bcl-2 in MM cell lines. Here we extend our observation with Fas to include TNF-α and TRAIL to the apoptotic signals that are not be blocked by bcl-2, in MM cells. 相似文献

In order to investigate the possible modulation of macrophage function by the autonomic nervous system, the effect of adrenergic agonists and antagonists on interferon (IFN)-γ-induced increases in cathepsin B (CB) in a macrophage-like cell line was studied. It has been shown previously that IFN-γ induces increased CB activity in phorbol myristate acetate (PMA)-primed THP-1 cells. Isoproterenol (ISO) (10μm ), a mixed β-receptor agonist, increased the induction of CB activity in the cells but norepinephrine (10μm ) and epinephrine (10μm ), the α and β receptor agonists, had little effect. The addition of the mixed α-receptor antagonist phentolamine (10μm ) had no effect on ISO induced increases but the mixed β-receptor antagonist propranolol (10μm ) and the selective β1-receptor antagonist atenolol produced significant inhibition. These results suggest that the activation of β-receptors could be involved in the induction of CB activity in macrophages and provide a possible mechanism for the regulation of macrophage effector function by the autonomic nervous system. Dibutyryl cAMP (1mm ) alone also induced increases in CB in THP-1 cells, and H-89 or HA1004 abrogated the effect of dibutyryl cAMP, suggesting that the effect of ISO on CB could be through the elevation of cAMP and the activation of cAMP-dependent protein kinases. 相似文献

Resistance toward imatinib (IM) and other BCR/ABL tyrosine kinase inhibitors remains troublesome in the treatment of advanced stage chronic myeloid leukemia (CML). The aim of this study was to estimate the reversal effects of down-regulation of Na+/H+ exchanger 1 (NHE1) on the chemoresistance of BCR-ABL-positive leukemia patients'' cells and cell lines. After treatment with the specific NHE1 inhibitor cariporide to decrease intracellular pH (pHi), the heme oxygenase-1 (HO-1) levels of the K562R cell line and cells from IM-insensitive CML patients decreased. HO-1, as a Bcr/Abl-dependent survival molecule in CML cells, is important for the resistance to tyrosine kinase inhibitors in patients with newly diagnosed CML or IM-resistant CML. Silencing PKC-β and Nrf-2 or treatment with inhibitors of p38 pathways obviously blocked NHE1-induced HO-1 expression. Furthermore, treatment with HO-1 or p38 inhibitor plus IM increased the apoptosis of the K562R cell line and IM-insensitive CML patients'' cells. Inhibiting HO-1 enhanced the activation of caspase-3 and poly(ADP-ribose) polymerase-1. Hence, the results support the anti-apoptotic role of HO-1 induced by NHE1 in the K562R cell line and IM-insensitive CML patients and provide a mechanism by which inducing HO-1 expression via the PKC-β/p38-MAPK pathway may promote tumor resistance to oxidative stress. 相似文献

Exposure of A431 cells to a rapid and sudden increase from 37°C to 46°C for 30 min could induce an increase in protein level and cellular activity of protein (kinase Fa /GSK-3α) up to ∼200% of control level. However, when cells were first treated with 500 nM tumor promoter phorbol ester TPA at 37°C for 30 min to activate cellular protein kinase C (PKC) or with 400 nM okadaic acid at 37°C for 30 min to inhibit cellular protein phosphatases followed by heat shock at 46°C for another 30 min, the heat induction on kinase Fa /GSK-3α was found to be completed blocked. In sharp contrast, when cells were first treated with 1 μM TPA at 37°C for 24 h or with 5 μM sphingosine at 37°C for 30 min to down-regulate cellular PKC, the heat induction on kinase Fa /GSK-3α was found to be reversely promoted up to ∼ 250% of control level, demonstrating that kinase Fa /GSK-3α may not represent a constitutively active/mitogen-inactivated protein kinase as previously conceived. Taken together, the results provide initial evidence that TPA/sphingosine and okadaic acid could reversibly modulate the heat induction on kinase Fa /GSK-3α in A431 cells, suggesting that phosphorylation/dephosphorylation mechanisms are involved in the regulation of the heat-shock induction of kinase Fa /GSK-3α, representing a new mode of signal transduction for the regulation of this multisubstrate protein kinase and a new mode of signaling pathway modulating the heat-induction process. © 1996 Wiley-Liss, Inc. 相似文献

The cysteine aspartyl protease caspase-9 is a critical component of the intrinsic apoptotic pathway. Activation of caspase-9 is inhibited by phosphorylation at Thr125, which is catalysed by the mitogen-activated protein kinases (MAPKs) ERK1/2 in response to growth factors, by the cyclin-dependent protein kinase CDK1-cyclin B1 during mitosis, and at a basal level by the dual-specificity tyrosine-phosphorylation regulated protein kinase DYRK1A. Here we show that inhibitory phosphorylation of caspase-9 at Thr125 is induced in mammalian cells by hyperosmotic stress. This response does not require ERK1/2 or ERK5, but it is diminished by ablation of DYRK1A expression by siRNA or chemical inhibition of DYRK1A by harmine. Phosphorylation of Thr125 in response to hyperosmotic stress is also reduced by chemical inhibition of p38 MAPK and is abolished in p38α−/− mouse embryonic fibroblasts. These results show that both DYRK1A and p38α play roles in the inhibitory phosphorylation of caspase-9 following hyperosmotic stress and suggest a functional interaction between these protein kinases. Phosphorylation of caspase-9 at Thr125 may restrain apoptosis during the acute response to hyperosmotic stress. 相似文献

Swiprosin‐1 exhibits the highest expression in CD8+ T cells and immature B cells and has been thought to play a role in lymphocyte physiology. Here we report that swiprosin‐1 is also expressed in mast cells and up‐regulated in both in vitro cultured mast cells by phorbol ester and in vivo model tissues of passive cutaneous anaphylaxis and atopic dermatitis. Targeted inhibition of the specific protein kinase C (PKC) isotypes by siRNA revealed that PKC‐βI/η are involved in the expression of swiprosin‐1 in the human mast cell line HMC‐1. In contrast, down‐regulation of swiprosin‐1 by A23187 or ionomycin suggests that calcium‐signaling plays a negative role. The ectopic expression of swiprosin‐1 augmented PMA/A23187‐induced NF‐κB promoter activity, and resulted in increased expression of cytokines. Moreover, knock‐down of swiprosin‐1 attenuated PMA/A23187‐induced cytokine expression. Collectively, these results suggest that swiprosin‐1 is a PKC‐βI/η‐inducible gene and it modulates mast cell activation through NF‐κB‐dependent pathway. J. Cell.

Phospholipase C-γ1 (PLC-γ1) is a receptor-proximal enzyme that promotes signal transduction through PKC in mammalian cells. Because of the complexity of PLC-γ1 regulation, a two-state (inactive/active) model does not account for the intricacy of activation and inactivation steps at the plasma membrane. Here, we introduce a structure-based kinetic model of PLC-γ1, considering interactions of its regulatory Src homology 2 (SH2) domains and perturbation of those dynamics upon phosphorylation of Tyr783, a hallmark of activation. For PLC-γ1 phosphorylation to dramatically enhance enzyme activation as observed, we found that high intramolecular affinity of the C-terminal SH2 (cSH2) domain–pTyr783 interaction is critical, but this affinity need not outcompete the autoinhibitory interaction of the cSH2 domain. Under conditions for which steady-state PLC-γ1 activity is sensitive to the rate of Tyr783 phosphorylation, maintenance of the active state is surprisingly insensitive to the phosphorylation rate, since pTyr783 is well protected by the cSH2 domain while the enzyme is active. In contrast, maintenance of enzyme activity is sensitive to the rate of PLC-γ1 membrane (re)binding. Accordingly, we found that hypothetical PLC-γ1 mutations that either weaken autoinhibition or strengthen membrane binding influence the activation kinetics differently, which could inform the characterization of oncogenic variants. Finally, we used this newly informed kinetic scheme to refine a spatial model of PLC/PKC polarization during chemotaxis. The refined model showed improved stability of the polarized pattern while corroborating previous qualitative predictions. As demonstrated here for PLC-γ1, this approach may be adapted to model the dynamics of other receptor- and membrane-proximal enzymes. 相似文献
