Oxygen supply is essential in the maintenance of the physiological cell metabolism. In fact, both lower and higher O2 concentrations induce modifications of the enzymatic activity of the cell which determine, in turn, morphological changes at nuclear and cytoplasmic level. Among the molecules involved in the maintenance of the cellular homeostasis, the signal transduction pathway PI-3-kinase/AKT-1 should be included. Here we suggest a relationship between the modulation of this pathway and the morphological modifications occurring "in vivo" in myocardial tissue upon hypoxic and hyperoxic stress. In particular, down regulation of this pathway, which when activated is known to deliver an anti-apoptotic signal, is concomitant to the maintenance of the apoptotic events occurring in these cells in response to oxidative stresses. 相似文献

Renewal of the gastrointestinal epithelium involves a coordinated process of terminal differentiation and programmed cell death. Integrins have been implicated in the control of apoptotic processes in various cell types. Here we examine the role of integrins in the regulation of apoptosis in gastrointestinal epithelial cells with the use of a rat small intestinal epithelial cell line (RIE1) as a model. Overexpression of the integrin alpha5 subunit in RIE1 cells conferred protection against several proapoptotic stimuli. In contrast, overexpression of the integrin alpha2 subunit had no effect on cell survival. The antiapoptotic effect of the alpha5 subunit was partially retained by a mutated version that had a truncation of the cytoplasmic domain. The antiapoptotic effects of the full-length or truncated alpha5 subunit were reversed upon treatment with inhibitors of phosphatidylinositol 3-kinase (PI-3-kinase), suggesting that the alpha5beta1 integrin might interact with the PI-3-kinase/Akt survival pathway. When cells overexpressing alpha5 were allowed to adhere to fibronectin, there was a moderate activation of protein kinase B (PKB)/Akt, whereas no such effect was seen in alpha2-overexpressing cells adhering to collagen. Furthermore, in cells overexpressing alpha5 and adhering to fibronectin, there was a dramatic enhancement of the ability of growth factors to stimulate PKB/Akt; again, this was not seen in cells overexpressing alpha2 subunit and adhering to collagen or fibronectin. Expression of a dominant negative version of PKB/Akt in RIE cells blocked to ability of alpha5 to enhance cell survival. Thus, the alpha5beta1 integrin seems to protect intestinal epithelial cells against proapoptotic stimuli by selectively enhancing the activity of the PI-3-kinase/Akt survival pathway. 相似文献

Radiation-induced oral mucositis is the most common complication for patients who receive head/neck radiotherapy. Nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide (NAD+) is vital for DNA damage repair under ionizing radiation, through functioning as either the substrate for protein poly(ADP-ribosyl)ation at DNA break sites or the cofactor for multiple DNA repair-related enzymes, which therefore can result in a significant consumption of cellular NAD+ during DNA repair. Mammalian cells produce NAD+ mainly by recycling nicotinamide via the salvage pathway, in which the rate-limiting step is governed by nicotinamide phosphoribosyltransferase (NAMPT). However, whether NAMPT is co-opted under ionizing radiation to timely fine-tune NAD+ homeostasis remains elusive. Here we show that ionizing radiation evokes NAMPT activation within 30 min without apparent changes in its protein expression. AMPK rapidly phosphorylates NAMPT at S314 under ionizing radiation, which reinforces the enzymatic activity of NAMPT by increasing NAMPT binding with its substrate phosphoribosyl pyrophosphate (PRPP). AMPK-mediated NAMPT S314 phosphorylation substantially restores NAD+ level in the irradiated cells and facilitates DNA repair and cell viability. Our findings demonstrate a new post-translational modification-based signalling route, by which cells can rapidly orchestrate NAD+ metabolism to support DNA repair, thereby highlighting NAMPT as a potential target for the prevention of ionizing radiation-induced injuries. 相似文献

Background
Major genomic surveillance mechanisms regulated in response to DNA damage exist at the G1/S and G2/M checkpoints. It is presumed that these delays provide time for the repair of damaged DNA. Cells have developed multiple DNA repair pathways to protect themselves from different types of DNA damage. Oxidative DNA damage is processed by the base excision repair (BER) pathway. Little is known about the BER of ionizing radiation-induced DNA damage and putative heterogeneity of BER in the cell cycle context. We measured the activities of three BER enzymes throughout the cell cycle to investigate the cell cycle-specific repair of ionizing radiation-induced DNA damage. We further examined BER activities in G2 arrested human cells after exposure to ionizing radiation.Results
Using an in vitro incision assay involving radiolabeled oligonucleotides with specific DNA lesions, we examined the activities of several BER enzymes in the whole cell extracts prepared from synchronized human HeLa cells irradiated in G1 and G2 phase of the cell cycle. The activities of human endonuclease III (hNTH1), a glycosylase/lyase that removes several damaged bases from DNA including dihydrouracil (DHU), 8-oxoguanine-DNA glycosylase (hOGG1) that recognizes 7,8-dihydro-8-oxo-2'-deoxyguanosine (8-oxoG) lesion and apurinic/apyrimidinic endonuclease (hAPE1) that acts on abasic sites including synthetic analog furan were examined.Conclusion
Overall the repair activities of hNTH1 and hAPE1 were higher in the G1 compared to G2 phase of the cell cycle. The percent cleavages of oligonucleotide substrate with furan were greater than substrate with DHU in both G1 and G2 phases. The irradiation of cells enhanced the cleavage of substrates with furan and DHU only in G1 phase. The activity of hOGG1 was much lower and did not vary within the cell cycle. These results demonstrate the cell cycle phase dependence on the BER of ionizing radiation-induced DNA damage. Interestingly no evidence of enhanced BER activities was found in irradiated cells arrested in G2 phase. 相似文献9.

Retroviral infection induces integrase-dependent apoptosis in DNA-PK-deficient murine scid lymphocytes. Furthermore, the efficiency of stable transduction of reporter genes is reduced in adherent cell lines that are deficient in cellular DNA-repair proteins known to mediate nonhomologous end joining (NHEJ), such as DNA-PK and XRCC4 (R. Daniel, R. A. Katz, and A. M. Skalka, Science 284:644-647, 1999). Here we report that wortmannin, an irreversible inhibitor of phosphatidylinositol 3-kinase (PI-3K)-related PKs, including the catalytic subunit of DNA-dependent protein kinase (DNA-PK(CS)) and ATM, sensitizes normal murine lymphocytes to retrovirus-mediated cell killing. We also show that the efficiency of stable transduction of reporter genes in human (HeLa) cells, mediated by either an avian sarcoma virus or a human immune deficiency virus type 1 vector, is reduced in the presence of wortmannin. The dose dependence of such reduction correlates with that for inhibition of PI-3K-related protein kinase activity in these cells. Results from wortmannin treatment of a panel of cell lines confirms that formation and/or survival of transductants is dependent on components of the NHEJ pathway. However, stable transduction is virtually abolished by wortmannin treatment of cells that lack ATM. These results suggest that ATM activity is required for the residual transduction observed in the NHEJ-deficient cells. Our studies support the hypothesis that DNA repair proteins of the NHEJ pathway and, in their absence, ATM are required to avoid integrase-mediated killing [corrected] and allow stable retroviral DNA transduction. The studies also suggest that cells can be sensitized to such killing and stable retroviral DNA integration blocked by drugs that inhibit cellular DNA repair pathways. 相似文献

Space radiation contains a complex mixture of particles comprised primarily of protons and high-energy heavy ions. Radiation risk is considered one of the major health risks for astronauts who embark on both orbital and interplanetary space missions. Ionizing radiation dose-dependently kills cells, damages genetic material, and disturbs cell differentiation and function. The immediate response to ionizing radiation-induced DNA damage is stimulation of DNA repair machinery and activation of cell cycle regulatory checkpoints. To date, little is known about cell cycle regulation after exposure to space-relevant radiation, especially regarding bone-forming osteoblasts. Here, we assessed cell cycle regulation in the osteoblastic cell line OCT-1 after exposure to various types of space-relevant radiation. The relative biological effectiveness (RBE) of ionizing radiation was investigated regarding the biological endpoint of cellular survival ability. Cell cycle progression was examined following radiation exposure resulting in different RBE values calculated for a cellular survival level of 1 %. Our findings indicate that radiation with a linear energy transfer (LET) of 150 keV/μm was most effective in inducing reproductive cell killing by causing cell cycle arrest. Expression analyses indicated that cells exposed to ionizing radiation exhibited significantly up-regulated p21(CDKN1A) gene expression. In conclusion, our findings suggest that cell cycle regulation is more sensitive to high-LET radiation than cell survival, which is not solely regulated through elevated CDKN1A expression. 相似文献

Although AKT activation leads to the activation of various pathways related to cell survival, the roles of AKT in modulating cellular responses induced by ionizing radiation in normal human cells remain unclear. Here we show that low-dose radiation of 0.05 Gy did not affect cell death, but high-dose radiation (> 0.2 Gy) induced apoptosis through the activation of caspases and acinus cleavage. Ionizing radiation induced acinus phosphorylation via AKT activation. Thus, we examined the effect of AKT activation on radiation-induced cell death using CCD-18Lu cells transduced with a retroviral vector expressing constitutively active AKT (CA-AKT). The overexpression of CA-AKT rendered the cells resistant to ionizing radiation and prevented the proteolytic cleavage of acinus via phosphorylation. In addition, overexpression of CA-AKT resulted in the upregulation of acinus expression by activation of the NF-κB pathway. On the other hand, suppression of endogenous AKT expression by siRNA resulted in the reduction of acinus expression and enhanced the radiation-induced apoptosis in both CCD-18Lu and IM-9 cells. Our results suggest that AKT activation inhibits cell death during radiation-induced apoptosis through the regulation of phosphorylation and expression of acinus. The AKT/NF-κB/acinus pathway functions as one of the important regulatory mechanisms required for modulating ionizing radiation sensitivity. 相似文献

Radiation therapy plays an important role in the management of prostate carcinoma. However, the problem of radioresistance and molecular mechanisms by which prostate carcinoma cells overcome cytotoxic effects of radiation therapy remains to be elucidated. In order to investigate possible intracellular mechanisms underlying the prostate carcinoma recurrences after radiotherapy, we have established three radiation-resistant prostate cancer cell lines, LNCaP-IRR, PC3-IRR, and Du145-IRR derived from the parental LNCaP, PC3, and Du145 prostate cancer cells by repetitive exposure to ionizing radiation. LNCaP-IRR, PC3-IRR, and Du145-IRR cells (prostate carcinoma cells recurred after radiation exposure (IRR cells)) showed higher radioresistance and cell motility than parental cell lines. IRR cells exhibited higher levels of androgen and epidermal growth factor (EGF) receptors and activation of their downstream pathways, such as Ras-mitogen-activated protein kinase (MAPK) and phosphatidyl inositol 3-kinase (PI3K)-Akt and Jak-STAT. In order to define additional mechanisms involved in the radioresistance development, we determined differences in the proteome profile of parental and IRR cells using 2-D DIGE followed by computational image analysis and MS. Twenty-seven proteins were found to be modulated in all three radioresistant cell lines compared to parental cells. Identified proteins revealed capacity to interact with EGF and androgen receptors related signal transduction pathways and were involved in the regulation of intracellular routs providing cell survival, increased motility, mutagenesis, and DNA repair. Our data suggest that radioresistance development is accompanied by multiple mechanisms, including activation of cell receptors and related downstream signal transduction pathways. Identified proteins regulated in the radioresistant prostate carcinoma cells can significantly intensify activation of intracellular signaling that govern cell survival, growth, proliferation, invasion, motility, and DNA repair. In addition, such analyses may be utilized in predicting cellular response to radiotherapy. 相似文献

Efforts in prevention and control of tuberculosis suffer from the lack of detailed knowledge of the mechanisms used by pathogenic mycobacteria for survival within host cell macrophages. The exploitation of host cell signaling pathways to the benefit of the pathogen is a phenomenon that deserves to be looked into in detail. We have tested the hypothesis that lipoarabinomannan (LAM) from the virulent species of Mycobacterium tuberculosis possesses the ability to modulate signaling pathways linked to cell survival. The Bcl-2 family member Bad is a proapoptotic protein. Phosphorylation of Bad promotes cell survival in many cell types. We demonstrate that man-LAM stimulates Bad phosphorylation in a phosphatidylinositol 3-kinase (PI-3K)-dependent pathway in THP-1 cells. Man-LAM activated PI-3K. LAM-stimulated phosphorylation of Bad was abrogated in cells transfected with a dominant-negative mutant of PI-3K (Delta p85), indicating that activation of PI-3K is sufficient to trigger phosphorylation of Bad by LAM. Since phosphorylation of Bad occurred at serine 136, the target of the serine/threonine kinase Akt, the effect of LAM on Akt kinase activity was tested. Man-LAM could activate Akt as evidenced from phosphorylation of Akt at Thr(308) and by the phosphorylation of the exogenous substrate histone 2B. Akt activation was abrogated in cells transfected with Deltap85. The phosphorylation of Bad by man-LAM was abrogated in cells transfected with a kinase-dead mutant of Akt. These results establish that LAM-mediated Bad phosphorylation occurs in a PI-3K/Akt-dependent manner. It is therefore the first demonstration of the ability of a mycobacterial virulence factor to up-regulate a signaling pathway involved in cell survival. This is likely to be one of a number of virulence-associated mechanisms by which bacilli control host cell apoptosis. 相似文献

Hepatitis C virus (HCV) infection is associated with the development of hepatocellular carcinoma and putatively also non-Hodgkin's B cell lymphoma. In this study, we demonstrated that PBMCs obtained from HCV-infected patients showed frequent chromosomal aberrations and that HCV infection of B cells in vitro induced enhanced chromosomal breaks and sister chromatid exchanges. HCV infection hypersensitized cells to ionizing radiation and bleomycin and inhibited nonhomologous end-joining repair. The viral core and nonstructural protein 3 proteins were shown to be responsible for the inhibition of DNA repair, mediated by NO and reactive oxygen species. Stable expression of core protein induced frequent chromosome translocations in cultured cells and in transgenic mice. HCV core protein binds to the NBS1 protein and inhibits the formation of the Mre11/NBS1/Rad50 complex, thereby affecting ATM activation and inhibiting DNA binding of repair enzymes. Taken together, these data indicate that HCV infection inhibits multiple DNA repair processes to potentiate chromosome instability in both monocytes and hepatocytes. These effects may explain the oncogenicity and immunological perturbation of HCV infection. 相似文献

The emergence of resistance to chemotherapy remains a principle problem in the treatment of small-cell lung cancer (SCLC). We demonstrate that extracellular matrix (ECM) activates phosphatidyl inositol 3-kinase (PI3-kinase) signaling in SCLC cells and prevents etoposide-induced caspase-3 activation and subsequent apoptosis in a beta1 integrin/PI3-kinase-dependent manner. Crucially we show that etoposide and radiation induce G2/M cell cycle arrest in SCLC cells prior to apoptosis and that ECM prevents this by overriding the upregulation of p21(Cip1/WAF1) and p27(Kip1) and the downregulation of cyclins E, A and B. These effects are abrogated by pharmacological and genetic inhibition of PI3-kinase signaling. Importantly we show that chemoprotection is not mediated by altered SCLC cell proliferation or DNA repair. Thus, ECM via beta1 integrin-mediated PI3-kinase activation overrides treatment-induced cell cycle arrest and apoptosis, allowing SCLC cells to survive with persistent DNA damage, providing a model to account for the emergence of acquired drug resistance. 相似文献

Increased sensitivity to killing by restriction enzymes in the XR-1 DNA double-strand break repair-deficient mutant 总被引:2,自引:0,他引:2
Repair or misrepair of DNA double-strand breaks (DSBs) is critical in determining cellular survival after gamma-irradiation. In this report, we focus on the cellular and biochemical consequences of restriction enzyme induced DSBs in wild-type Chinese hamster ovary (CHO) cells and the DNA DSB repair-defective mutant XR-1. We find that XR-1 possesses reduced cellular survival after the introduction of restriction enzymes that produce either cohesive or blunt ends. XR-1's sensitivity to killing by restriction enzymes strongly mimics its response to gamma-rays. Using pulsed field electrophoresis, we find that for each enzyme, similar numbers of DNA DSBs are being introduced in both cell lines. The simplest explanation for the increased sensitivity to restriction enzymes in the mutant is that the biochemical defect in XR-1 is not confined to the repair of ionizing radiation induced ends, but extends to DSBs that possess ligatable 3'-hydroxyl and 5'-phosphate ends as well. 相似文献

ATM activation following DNA damage is a critical event which is required for efficient DNA repair and cell survival, yet signaling mechanisms controlling its activation are incompletely understood. The RhoGEF Net1 has previously been reported to control Rho GTPase activation and downstream cell survival outcomes following double strand DNA damage. However the role of Net1 isoforms in controlling ATM-dependent cell signaling has not been assessed. In the present work we show that expression of the Net1A isoform is specifically required for efficient activation of ATM but not the related kinase DNA-PK after ionizing radiation. Surprisingly Net1A overexpression also potently suppresses ATM activation and phosphorylation of its substrate H2AX. This effect does not require catalytic activity towards RhoA or RhoB, and neither Rho GTPase affects ATM activation, on its own. Consistent with a role in controlling ATM activation, Net1A knockdown also impairs DNA repair and cell survival. Taken together these data indicate that Net1A plays a plays a previously unrecognized, Rho GTPase-independent role in controlling ATM activity and downstream signaling after DNA damage to impact cell survival. 相似文献
