The two pathways to osteoclastogenesis, RANKL-mediated and CD98-mediated osteoclastogenesis, have recently been reported. RANKL, OCIF, and TIMP-3 mRNAs are not found in monocytes freshly isolated or incubated with anti-FRP-1/CD98hc antibody. RANK, TACE, and M-CSF mRNAs can be detected in these cells. Interestingly, the expressed amount of RANK mRNA increases by cultivation of monocytes with anti-CD98hc antibody and maximal expression is observed in osteoclast-like cells. CD98-mediated cell aggregation and multinucleated giant cell formation are blocked by OCIF. OCIF also suppressed the CD98-mediated induction of Sp1 and c-src mRNAs in monocytes. Soluble RANK shows no effect on CD98-mediated cell aggregation and multinucleated giant cell formation. When blood monocytes were incubated with RANKL and M-CSF, c-src and Sp1 mRNAs were first found in blood monocytes incubated with these cytokines for 7 days. On the contrary, c-src mRNA could be detected 3 h after treatment of blood monocytes with anti-CD98hc mAb. LAT-1 mRNA was not found, and the expression levels of Y(+)LAT-1 and Y(+)LAT-2 mRNAs were not changed in monocytes stimulated without or with anti-CD98hc mAb or RANKL and M-CSF. An inhibitory mAb directed against CD98hc, HBJ 127, shows a suppressive effect on RANKL-mediated cell aggregation and cell fusion. Thus, there is cross-talk between these two pathways. 相似文献

CD98 is a multifunctional heterodimeric membrane protein involved in the regulation of cell adhesion as well as amino acid transport. We show that CD98 cross-linking persistently activates Rap1 GTPase in a LFA-1-dependent manner and induces LFA-1/ICAM-1-mediated cell adhesion in lymphocytes. Specific phosphatidylinositol-3-kinase (PI3K) inhibitors suppressed both LFA-1 activation and Rap1GTP generation, and abrogation of Rap1GTP by retroviral over-expression of a specific Rap1 GTPase activating protein, SPA-1, totally inhibited the LFA-1/ICAM-1-mediated cell adhesion. These results suggest that CD98 cross-linking activates LFA-1 via the PI3K signaling pathway and induces accumulation of Rap1GTP in a LFA-1-dependent manner, which in turn mediates the cytoskeleton-dependent cell adhesion process. 相似文献

Lewis Y (LeY) antigen is highly expressed in a variety of human carcinomas of epithelial cell origin. Recent studies suggest functional blockade of LeY may provide a novel therapeutic approach for the treatment of cancers. However, suppressing LeY expression by genetic manipulation and its impact on neoplastic cell proliferation has not been investigated. We report here that different fucosyltransferases (FUTs) were expressed with the greatest expression of fucosyltransferase I or IV (FUT1/4), the two key enzymes for the synthesis of LeY in human epidermoid carcinoma A431 cells. Knocking down FUT1/4 expression by short interfering RNA technique dramatically reduced the expression of FUT1/4 and LeY and inhibited cell proliferation through decreasing epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR) signaling pathway. Treatment of A431 cells that were inoculated into the nude mice with FUT1 siRNA or FUT4 siRNA greatly impeded tumor growth. Suppressing FUT1/4 expression also blocked EGF-induced tyrosine phosphorylation of EGFR and mitogen-activated protein kinases. In conclusion, suppressing the expression of FUT1/4 by RNAi technology reduces the synthesis of LeY and inhibits cancer growth. It may serve as a potential methodology for the treatment of cancers that express LeY glycoconjugates. 相似文献

Nineteen mAb directed against murine fusion regulatory protein-1 (mFRP-1)/4F2/CD98 were isolated and their biological properties were analysed. Intriguingly, mFRP-1 was found to be an alloantigen, namely, FRP-1.1 (DBA/2 and CBA mice type) and FRP-1.2 (BALB/c, C57BL/6 and C3H/He mice type). The nucleotide sequences of FRP-1.1 and FRP-1.2 were determined, demonstrating that amino acid change at 129 (P<-->R) is related to the alloantigenicity. mFRP-1 is expressed on thymocytes, on spleen cells, on peripheral lymphocytes and on blood monocytes, suggesting that the physiological role in vivo of murine FRP-1 is different from that of human FRP-1. The biological activities of antimFRP-1 mAbs showed by the present study are: (i) enhancement of Newcastle disease virus-induced cell fusion; (ii) suppression of HIVgp160-mediated cell fusion; and (iii) induction of aggregation and multinucleated giant cells of monocytes/macrophages. 相似文献

Multinucleated giant cell (MNGC) formation is an important histopathologic feature of AIDS dementia complex and tuberculous meningitis. We investigated the effect of several cytokines (GM-CSF, IFN-gamma, TNF-alpha, IL-3) and other stimuli (vaso-I, LPS, PMA) on MNGC formation in vitro by microglia from porcine neonatal brain. GM-CSF dose-dependently inhibited giant cell formation at physiological conditions (10 ng/ml) up till 4 days in culture. When confronted with a high concentration (1 microg/ml) they were 5.5 times less likely to form MNGC and 3.3 times more likely to develop a ramified morphology. In contrast, interferon-gamma (6 ng/ml) doubled the formation of MNGC. GM-CSF primed (4 days) microglia also produced significantly higher amounts of superoxide after PMA-stimulation. We conclude that GM-CSF leads microglia to a specific activation other than MNGC formation. Comparison of the present results with earlier reports on rodents reveals important inter-species differences. 相似文献

Vascular smooth muscle cell (VSMC) foam cell formation is an important hallmark, especially in advanced atherosclerosis lesions. Acyl-coenzyme A:cholesterol acyltransferase 1 (ACAT1) promotes foam cell formation by promoting intracellular cholesteryl ester synthesis. The present study tests the hypothesis that oxidized low-density lipoprotein (oxLDL) increases the ACAT1 expression by activating the Toll-like receptor 4 (TLR4)-mediated inflammation, and ultimately promotes VSMC foam cell formation. Wild-type, ApoE−/−, TLR4−/− and ACAT1−/− mice on a C57BL/6J background were used. Increased TLR4, proinflammatory cytokines and ACAT1 were observed in high-fat (HF) diet-induced atherosclerotic plaque formation and in oxLDL-stimulated VSMCs. ACAT1 deficiency impeded the HF diet-induced atherosclerotic plaque formation and impaired the TLR4-manipulated VSMC foam cell formation in response to oxLDL. TLR4 deficiency inhibited the upregulation of myeloid-differentiating factor 88 (MyD88), nuclear factor-κB (NF-κB), proinflammatory cytokines and ACAT1, and eventually attenuated the HF diet-induced atherosclerotic plaque formation and suppressed the oxLDL-induced VSMC foam cell formation. Knockdown of MyD88 and NF-κB, respectively, impaired the TLR4-manipulated VSMC foam cell formation in response to oxLDL. Rosiglitazone (RSG) attenuated HF diet-induced atherosclerotic plaque formation in ApoE−/− mice, accompanied by reduced expression of TLR4, proinflammatory cytokines and ACAT1 accordingly. Activation of peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor γ (PPARγ) suppressed oxLDL-induced VSMC foam cell formation and inhibited the expression of TLR4, MyD88, NF-κB, proinflammatory cytokines and ACAT1, whereas inhibition of PPARγ exerted the opposite effect. TLR4−/− mice and VSMCs showed impaired atherosclerotic plaque formation and foam cell formation, and displayed no response to PPARγ manipulation. In conclusion, our data showed that oxLDL stimulation can activate the TLR4/MyD88/NF-κB inflammatory signaling pathway in VSMCs, which in turn upregulates the ACAT1 expression and finally promotes VSMC foam cell formation.Atherosclerosis remains the major cause of deaths worldwide, with deteriorated clinical consequence of cardiovascular diseases including myocardial infarction and stroke.1 In 2008, for example, 17.3 million deaths were caused by cardiovascular diseases, and this number will increase to 23.3 million by 2030.2 Therefore, a better understanding of mechanisms involved in atherosclerosis may advance the development of comprehensive therapeutic regimens.Foam cell formation from macrophages or vascular smooth muscle cells (VSMCs) is a crucial event in the development of atherosclerosis. Acyl-coenzyme A:cholesterol acyltransferase 1 (ACAT1) is an intracellular enzyme that converts free cholesterol into cholesteryl esters for storage in lipid droplets, and promotes foam cell formation in atherosclerotic lesions.3, 4, 5 ACAT1 activity is present in a variety of cells and tissues, including the macrophages, neurons, cardiomyocytes, VSMCs, mesothelial cells, alveolar and intestinal epithelial cells and hepatocytes.6 In macrophages, the involvement of ACAT1 in foam cell formation has been demonstrated by studies, and multiple molecular mechanisms have been put forward. A well-accepted mechanism is that inflammation increases the expression of ACAT1, promotes the intracellular lipid accumulation and ultimately leads to foam cell formation.7 However, in contrast, the mechanisms underlying VSMC foam cell formation, especially the role of ACAT1 in this process, remain largely unelucidated.It is widely accepted that atherosclerosis involves chronic inflammatory reaction.8 Toll-like receptor 4 (TLR4), one intensively investigated member of the TLR family, has a critical role in initiating inflammation, and participates in VSMC activation.9, 10 Lipopolysaccharide (LPS) is a TLR4-specific ligand that can trigger TLR4-mediated inflammation. A previous study showed that Chlamydia pneumoniae, which contains LPS in its outer membrane, promotes low-density lipoprotein-induced macrophage-derived foam cell formation via upregulation of the expression of ACAT1.11 This further enhanced the association between inflammation and intracellular lipid disorder. However, considering that VSMCs in normal conditions do not have inflammatory properties similar to macrophages, it is unclear whether the TLR4-mediated inflammatory mechanism is also involved in the regulation of ACAT1 in VSMC foam cell formation. Herein, the present study tests the hypothesis that oxidized low-density lipoprotein (oxLDL) increases the ACAT1 expression by activating the TLR4-mediated inflammation, and ultimately promotes VSMC foam cell formation. 相似文献

CD200 is a cell surface glycoprotein that functions through engaging CD200 receptor on cells of the myeloid lineage and inhibits their functions. Expression of CD200 has been implicated in a variety of human cancer cells including melanoma cells and has been thought to play a protumor role. To investigate the role of cancer cell expression of CD200 in tumor formation and metastasis, we generated CD200-positive and CD200-negative B16 melanoma cells. Subcutaneous injection of CD200-positive B16 melanoma cells inhibited tumor formation and growth in C57BL/6 mice but not in Rag1−/−C57BL/6 mice. However, i.v. injection of CD200-positive B16 melanoma cells dramatically inhibited tumor foci formation in the lungs of both C57BL/6 and Rag1−/−C57BL6 mice. Flow cytometry analysis revealed higher expression of CD200R in Gr1+ myeloid cells in the lung than in peripheral myeloid cells. Depletion of Gr1+ cells or stimulation of CD200R with an agonistic antibody in vivo dramatically inhibited tumor foci formation in the lungs. In addition, treatment with tumor antigen specific CD4 or CD8 T cells or their combination yielded a survival advantage for CD200 positive tumor bearing mice over mice bearing CD200-negative tumors. Taken together, we have revealed a novel role for CD200-CD200R interaction in inhibiting tumor formation and metastasis. Targeting CD200R may represent a novel approach for cancer immunotherapy. 相似文献

Soluble CD16 inhibits CR3 (CD11b/CD18)-mediated infection of monocytes/macrophages by opsonized primary R5 HIV-1 总被引:3,自引:0,他引:3
Bouhlal H Galon J Kazatchkine MD Fridman WH Sautès-Fridman C Haeffner Cavaillon N 《Journal of immunology (Baltimore, Md. : 1950)》2001,166(5):3377-3383
We demonstrate that soluble CD16 (sCD16; soluble Fc gamma RIII), a natural ligand of CR3, inhibits the infection of monocytes by primary R5 HIV-1 strain opsonized with serum of seronegative individuals. Inhibition of monocyte infection by sCD16 was similar to that observed with anti-CR3 mAbs, indicating that opsonized HIV may use a CR3-dependent pathway for entry in monocytic cells. Cultured human monocytes express both CR3 (CD11b/CD18) and CCR5 receptors. RANTES, the natural ligand of CCR5, inhibited infection of monocytes with unopsonized HIV particles and partially that of monocytes infected with HIV particles opsonized with complement-derived fragments. Although HIV-infected monocytes from homozygous CCR5 Delta 32/Delta 32 (CCR5(-/-)) individuals produce low levels of p24, cells infected with opsonized particles produced higher levels of p24 than cells infected with unopsonized particles. Our results thus suggest that CR3 may represent an alternative coreceptor to CCR5 of opsonized primary R5 virus entry into monocytes/macrophages. We also observed that the concentration of sCD16 is greatly decreased in sera of HIV-infected patients with low lymphocyte CD4(+) counts. Taken together, our findings suggest that sCD16, present in plasma, may play an important role in controlling HIV-1 spread. 相似文献

Muramyl dipeptide (MDP) is the minimal essential structural unit responsible for the immunoadjuvant activity of peptidoglycan. As well as bone-resorbing factors such as 1alpha,25-dihydroxyvitamin D3 (1alpha,25(OH)2D3) and PGE2, LPS and IL-1alpha stimulate osteoclast formation in mouse cocultures of primary osteoblasts and hemopoietic cells. MDP alone could not induce osteoclast formation in the coculture, but enhanced osteoclast formation induced by LPS, IL-1alpha, or TNF-alpha but not 1alpha,25(OH)2D3 or PGE2. MDP failed to enhance osteoclast formation from osteoclast progenitors induced by receptor activator of NF-kappaB ligand (RANKL) or TNF-alpha. MDP up-regulated RANKL expression in osteoblasts treated with LPS or TNF-alpha but not 1alpha,25(OH)2D3. Osteoblasts expressed mRNA of nucleotide-binding oligomerization domain 2 (Nod2), an intracellular sensor of MDP, in response to LPS, IL-1alpha, or TNF-alpha but not 1alpha,25(OH)2D3. Induction of Nod2 mRNA expression by LPS but not by TNF-alpha in osteoblasts was dependent on TLR4 and MyD88. MDP also enhanced TNF-alpha-induced osteoclast formation in cocultures prepared from Toll/IL-1R domain-containing adapter protein (TIRAP)-deficient mice through the up-regulation of RANKL mRNA expression in osteoblasts, suggesting that TLR2 is not involved in the MDP-induced osteoclast formation. The depletion of intracellular Nod2 by small interfering RNA blocked MDP-induced up-regulation of RANKL mRNA in osteoblasts. LPS and RANKL stimulated the survival of osteoclasts, and this effect was not enhanced by MDP. These results suggest that MDP synergistically enhances osteoclast formation induced by LPS, IL-1alpha, and TNF-alpha through RANKL expression in osteoblasts, and that Nod2-mediated signals are involved in the MDP-induced RANKL expression in osteoblasts. 相似文献

Basic fibroblast growth factor (bFGF) inhibited osteoclast-like cell (OCL) formation in cocultures of mouse spleen cells with either osteoblasts or a stromal cell line, ST2, in the presence of 1alpha, 25-dihydroxyvitamin D(3) [1,25(OH)(2)D(3)]. bFGF directly acted on osteoblasts/stromal cells, but not osteoclast progenitors, to inhibit 1,25(OH)(2)D(3)-induced OCL formation. bFGF suppressed the mRNA expression of osteoclast differentiation factor (ODF) but did not affect that of osteoclastogenesis inhibitory factor (OCIF) in ST2 cells treated with 1,25(OH)(2)D(3) and dexamethasone. Enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay showed that bFGF hardly affected OCIF production in the treated ST2 cells. A genetically engineered soluble form of ODF, but not anti-OCIF neutralizing antibody, abolished bFGF-mediated inhibition of OCL formation. bFGF suppressed the binding of (125)I-labeled OCIF to both ST2 cells and osteoblasts treated with 1,25(OH)(2)D(3). These findings indicate that bFGF inhibits 1,25(OH)(2)D(3)-induced OCL formation via suppression of ODF production by osteoblasts/stromal cells. 相似文献

Suppression of cytokine-induced expression of adrenomedullin and endothelin-1 by dexamethasone in T98G human glioblastoma cells 总被引:2,自引:0,他引:2
There is accumulating evidence showing that glial cells and gliomas secrete some neuropeptides and vasoactive peptides, such as adrenomedullin and endothelin-1. We have previously shown that expression of these two peptides is induced by inflammatory cytokines in T98G human glioblastoma cells. Glucocorticoids are frequently used for the treatment of inflammatory diseases and glioblastomas. We therefore studied effects of dexamethasone on expression of adrenomedullin and endothelin-1 in T98G human glioblastoma cells. Dexamethasone dose-dependently increased adrenomedullin mRNA levels and immunoreactive-adrenomedullin levels in the medium in T98G cells, whereas it decreased immunoreactive-endothelin levels in the medium. A combination of three cytokines, interferon-gamma (100 U/ml), tumor necrosis factor-alpha (20 ng/ml) and interleukin-1beta (10 ng/ml) induced expression of adrenomedullin and endothelin-1 in T98G cells. Dexamethasone (10(-8) mol/l) suppressed increases in expression of both adrenomedullin and endothelin-1 induced by these three cytokines. Thus, dexamethasone alone increased adrenomedullin expression whereas it suppressed the cytokine-induced expression of adrenomedullin in T98G cells. These findings raised the possibility that effects of dexamethasone on brain inflammation and glioblastomas may be partly mediated or modulated by its effects on expression of adrenomedullin and endothelin-1. 相似文献

Although chronic immune activation correlates with CD4(+) T cell loss in HIV infection, an understanding of the factors mediating T cell depletion remains incomplete. We propose that reduced expression of CD127 (IL-7 receptor alpha chain, IL-7Ralpha), induced by immune activation, contributes to CD4(+) T cell loss in HIV infection. In particular, loss of CD127 on central memory CD4(+) T cells (T(CM)) severely restrains the regenerative capacity of the memory component of the immune system, resulting in a limited ability to control T cell homeostasis. Studies from both pathogenic and controlled HIV infection indicate that the containment of immune activation and preservation of CD127 expression are critical to the stability of CD4(+) T cells in infection. A better understanding of the factors regulating CD127 expression in HIV disease, particularly on T(CM) cells, might unveil new approaches exploiting the IL-7/IL-7R receptor pathway to restore T cell homeostasis and promote immune reconstitution in HIV infection. 相似文献

Two analogs of the peptide mimicking the 1977–1991 C- terminal part of fibronectin have been synthesized and tested. AWLI simulated human fibronectin fragment 1977–1991, whereas AWLII hybridized to both RGD and 1977–1991 fragments. AWLI and AWLII peptides inhibited the migration of the ovarian carcinoma cell line OVP10 regardless of the presence RGD. AWLI peptide inhibited spontaneous and fibronectin-activated cell migration and ERK1/2 activity. Neither AWLI nor fibronectin induced changes in FAK proteins, as could be judged from Western blots. In conclusion, it seems that the C-terminal fragment of fibronectin inhibits ERK1/2-dependent (random) migration of ovarian carcinoma cells. 相似文献

15(S)-Hydroxyeicosatetraenoic acid (15(S)-HETE), the major 15-lipoxygenase 1/2 (15-LO1/2) metabolite of arachidonic acid (AA), induces CD36 expression through xanthine oxidase and NADPH oxidase-dependent ROS production and Syk and Pyk2-dependent STAT1 activation. In line with these observations, 15(S)-HETE also induced foam cell formation involving ROS, Syk, Pyk2, and STAT1-mediated CD36 expression. In addition, peritoneal macrophages from Western diet-fed ApoE-/- mice exhibited elevated levels of xanthine oxidase and NADPH oxidase activities, ROS production, Syk, Pyk2, and STAT1 phosphorylation, and CD36 expression compared to those from ApoE-/-:12/15-LO-/- mice and these events correlated with increased lipid deposits, macrophage content, and lesion progression in the aortic roots. Human atherosclerotic arteries also showed increased 15-LO1 expression, STAT1 phosphorylation, and CD36 levels as compared to normal arteries. Together, these findings suggest that 12/15-LO metabolites of AA, particularly 12/15(S)-HETE, might play a crucial role in atherogenesis by enhancing foam cell formation. 相似文献
