Cimifugin is a bioactive component of Saposhnikovia divaricata, a Chinese herb for treating allergy. Our previous studies demonstrated that cimifugin inhibited allergic inflammation efficiently. This study aims to determine the mechanism of cimifugin on epithelial cells in allergic inflammation. Mice were sensitized and challenged with FITC to establish type 2 atopic dermatitis (AD) model. The initial stage of AD model, in which mice were just sensitized with FITC, was established in vivo and immortalized human epidermal (HaCaT) cells were utilized in vitro. Initiative key cytokines, TSLP and IL‐33, were measured by ELISA, the junctions in ECs were observed by electron microscopy and TJs (CLDN‐1, occludin and CLDND1) were assessed by Western blot, immunohistochemistry and immunofluorescence. The results showed that TSLP and IL‐33 were inhibited significantly by cimifugin in the initial stage of AD model. Simultaneously, cimifugin reduced the separated gap among the epithelial cells and increased the expression of TJs. Similar effects on TSLP/IL‐33 and TJs were obtained in vitro. The effect of cimifugin on TSLP decreased significantly when expression of CLDN1 was interfered with siRNA and this implied cimifugin inhibits initiative cytokines through restoring TJs. Furthermore, cimifugin administered only in the initial stage obviously attenuated the ultimate allergic inflammation, which indicate that impacts of cimifugin in the initial stage on TSLP/IL‐33 and TJs are sufficient for suppressing allergic inflammation. This study not only revealed the mechanisms of cimifugin, but also indicated the possibility of initiative key cytokines and TJs as therapeutic targets. 相似文献

Mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) have drawn great attention because of their therapeutic potential. It has been suggested that intra‐venous infused MSCs could migrate the site of injury to help repair the damaged tissue. However, the mechanism for MSC migration is still not clear so far. In this study, we reported that hypoxia increased chemotaxis migration of MSCs. At 4 and 6 hours after culturing in hypoxic (1% oxygen) conditions, the number of migrated MSCs was significantly increased. Meanwhile, hypoxia also increased the expression of HIF‐1α and SDF‐1. Using small interference RNA, we knocked down the expression of HIF‐1α in MSCs to study the role of HIF‐1α in hypoxia induced migration. Our data indicated that knocking down the expression of HIF‐1α not only abolished the migration of MSCs, but also reduced the expression of SDF‐1. Combining the results of migration assay and expression at RNA and protein level, we demonstrated a novel mechanism that controls the increase of MSCs migration. This mechanism involved HIF‐1α mediated SDF‐1 expression. These findings provide new insight into the role of HIF‐1α in the hypoxia induced MSC migration and can be a benefit for the development of MSC‐based therapeutics for wound healing. 相似文献

Protection of cardiac microvascular endothelial cells (CMECs) against hypoxia injury is an important therapeutic strategy for treating ischaemic cardiovascular disease. In this study, we investigated the effects of qiliqiangxin (QL) on primary rat CMECs exposed to hypoxia and the underlying mechanisms. Rat CMECs were successfully isolated and passaged to the second generation. CMECs that were pre‐treated with QL (0.5 mg/mL) and/or HIF‐1α siRNA were cultured in a three‐gas hypoxic incubator chamber (5% CO2, 1% O2, 94% N2) for 12 hours. Firstly, we demonstrated that compared with hypoxia group, QL effectively promoted the proliferation while attenuated the apoptosis, improved mitochondrial function and reduced ROS generation in hypoxic CMECs in a HIF‐1α‐dependent manner. Meanwhile, QL also promoted angiogenesis of CMECs via HIF‐1α/VEGF signalling pathway. Moreover, QL improved glucose utilization and metabolism and increased ATP production by up‐regulating HIF‐1α and a series of glycolysis‐relevant enzymes, including glucose transport 1 (GLUT1), hexokinase 2 (HK2), 6‐phosphofructokinase 1 (PFK1), pyruvate kinase M2 (PKM2) and lactate dehydrogenase A (LDHA). Our findings indicate that QL can protect CMECs against hypoxia injury via promoting glycolysis in a HIF‐1α‐dependent manner. Lastly, the results suggested that QL‐dependent enhancement of HIF‐1α protein expression in hypoxic CMECs was associated with the regulation of AMPK/mTOR/HIF‐1α pathway, and we speculated that QL also improved HIF‐1α stabilization through down‐regulating prolyl hydroxylases 3 (PHD3) expression. 相似文献

Inflammatory bowel disease is a kind of multi‐aetiological chronic disease that is driven by multidimensional factors. Hypoxia‐inducible factor‐1α (HIF‐1α) plays an important role in anti‐inflammatory and cellular responses to hypoxia. Previous studies have found that B or T‐cell‐specific HIF‐1α knock out mice exhibit severe colonic inflammation. However, we know very little about other functions of HIF‐1α in intestinal epithelial cells (IECs). In our study, HIF‐1αΔIEC mice were used to study the function of HIF‐1α in IECs. HIF‐1α was knocked down in Caco‐2 cells by transfection with a small interfering (si) RNA. Immunohistochemical staining and western blotting were used to detect the expression of zonula occluden‐1 (ZO‐1) and Occludin. The content of colon was harvested for high‐performance liquid chromatography analysis to examine the levels of butyrate in the gut. Our research found that HIF‐1α played a protective role in dextran sulphate sodium‐induced colitis, which was partly due to its regulation of tight junction (TJ) protein expression. Further study revealed that HIF‐1α mediated TJ proteins levels by moderating the content of butyrate. Moreover, we found that butyrate regulated TJ protein expression, which is dependent on HIF‐1α. These results indicated that there is a mutual regulatory mechanism between butyrate and HIF‐1α, which has an important role in the maintenance of barrier function of the gastrointestinal tract. 相似文献

The macrolide compound MFTZ‐1 has been identified as a novel topoisomerase II (Top2) inhibitor with potent in vitro and in vivo anti‐tumour activities. In this study, we further examined the effects of MFTZ‐1 on hypoxia‐inducible factor‐1α (HIF‐1α) accumulation, vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) secretion and angiogenesis. MFTZ‐1 reduced HIF‐1α accumulation driven by hypoxia or growth factors in human cancer cells. Mechanistic studies revealed that MFTZ‐1 did not affect the degradation of HIF‐1α protein or the level of HIF‐1α mRNA. By contrast, MFTZ‐1 apparently inhibited constitutive and inducible activation of both phosphatidylinositol‐3‐kinase (PI3K)‐Akt and p42/p44 mitogen‐activated protein kinase (MAPK) pathways. Further studies revealed that MFTZ‐1 abrogated the HIF‐1α‐driven increase in VEGF mRNA and protein secretion. MFTZ‐1 also lowered the basal level of VEGF secretion. The results reveal an important feature that MFTZ‐1 can reduce constitutive, HIF‐1α‐independent VEGF secretion and concurrently antagonize inducible, HIF‐1α‐dependent VEGF secretion. Moreover, MFTZ‐1 disrupted tube formation of human umbilical vein endothelial cells (HUVECs) stimulated by hypoxia with low‐concentration serum or by serum at normoxia, and inhibited HUVECs migration at normoxia. MFTZ‐1 also prevented microvessel outgrowth from rat aortic ring. These data reflect the potent anti‐angiogenesis of MFTZ‐1 under different conditions. Furthermore, using specific small interfering RNA targeting Top2α or Top2‐defective HL60/MX2 cells, we showed that MFTZ‐1 affected HIF‐1α accumulation and HUVECs tube formation irrelevant to its Top2 inhibition. Taken together, our data collectively reveal that MFTZ‐1 reduces constitutive and inducible HIF‐1α accumulation and VEGF secretion possibly via PI3K‐Akt and MAPK pathways, eliciting anti‐angiogenesis independently of its Top2 inhibition. 相似文献

Abnormal metabolism of tumour cells is closely related to the occurrence and development of breast cancer, during which the expression of NF‐E2‐related factor 2 (Nrf2) is of great significance. Metastatic breast cancer is one of the most common causes of cancer death worldwide; however, the molecular mechanism underlying breast cancer metastasis remains unknown. In this study, we found that the overexpression of Nrf2 promoted proliferation and migration of breast cancers cells. Inhibition of Nrf2 and overexpression of Kelch‐like ECH‐associated protein 1 (Keap1) reduced the expression of glucose‐6‐phosphate dehydrogenase (G6PD) and transketolase of pentose phosphate pathway, and overexpression of Nrf2 and knockdown of Keap1 had opposite effects. Our results further showed that the overexpression of Nrf2 promoted the expression of G6PD and Hypoxia‐inducing factor 1α (HIF‐1α) in MCF‐7 and MDA‐MB‐231 cells. Overexpression of Nrf2 up‐regulated the expression of Notch1 via G6PD/HIF‐1α pathway. Notch signalling pathway affected the proliferation of breast cancer by affecting its downstream gene HES‐1, and regulated the migration of breast cancer cells by affecting the expression of EMT pathway. The results suggest that Nrf2 is a potential molecular target for the treatment of breast cancer and targeting Notch1 signalling pathway may provide a promising strategy for the treatment of Nrf2‐driven breast cancer metastasis. 相似文献

Inflammatory cytokines are closely related to pigmentary changes. In this study, the effects of IFN‐γ on melanogenesis were investigated. IFN‐γ inhibits basal and α‐MSH‐induced melanogenesis in B16 melanoma cells and normal human melanocytes. MITF mRNA and protein expressions were significantly inhibited in response to IFN‐γ. IFN‐γ inhibited CREB binding to the MITF promoter but did not affect CREB phosphorylation. Instead, IFN‐γ inhibited the association of CBP and CREB through the increased association between CREB binding protein (CBP) and STAT1. These findings suggest that IFN‐γ inhibits both basal and α‐MSH‐induced melanogenesis by inhibiting MITF expression. The inhibitory action of IFN‐γ in α‐MSH‐induced melanogenesis is likely to be associated with the sequestration of CBP via the association between CBP and STAT1. These data suggest that IFN‐γ plays a role in controlling inflammation‐ or UV‐induced pigmentary changes. 相似文献

Despite the improvement in acute myeloid leukemia (AML) treatments, most patients had a poor prognosis and suffered from chemoresistance and disease relapse. Therefore, there is an urgent need for elucidation of mechanism(s) underlying drug resistance in AML. In the present study, we found that AML cells showed less susceptibility to adriamycin (ADR) in the presence of hypoxia, while inhibition of hypoxia‐inducible factor 1α (HIF‐1α) by CdCl2 can make AML cells re‐susceptibile to ADR even under hypoxia. Moreover, HIF‐1α is overexpressed and plays an important role in ADR‐resistance maintenance in resistant AML cells. We further found hypoxia or induction of HIF‐1α can significantly upregulate yes‐associated protein (YAP) expression in AML cells, and resistant cells express a high level of YAP. Finally, we found that YAP may not only enhance HIF‐1α stability but also promote HIF‐1α's activity on the target gene pyruvate kinase M2. In conclusion, our data indicate that HIF‐1α or YAP may represent a therapeutic target for overcoming resistance toward adriamycin‐based chemotherapy in AML. 相似文献
