The aim of this study was to evaluate the influence of resveratrol on HG-induced calcium entry in islet microvascular (MS-1) endothelial cells. MS-1 cells were pretreated with resveratrol or 2-APB (an inhibitor of store-operated calcium entry) and then incubated with high glucose. Cell viability was determined using the cell counting kit-8 method. Reactive oxygen species, endothelial apoptosis, and NO production were detected by DHE probe, TUNEL detection, and nitrate reductase assay kit. Protein levels of SOCE were detected by western blotting. Pretreatment with resveratrol significantly attenuated HG-induced endothelial apoptosis and improved cell viability. However, pretreatment with resveratrol and 2-APB abolished this effect, suggesting that the attenuation of HG-induced apoptosis by resveratrol may be associated with SOCE. Subsequent analyses indicated that HG induced the SOCE-related proteins, including TRPC1, Orai1, and Stim1. These results suggest that resveratrol pretreatment is associated with relieved HG-induced endothelial apoptosis at least partly via inhibition of SOCE-related proteins. 相似文献

Angiopathy is a major complication of diabetes. Abnormally high blood glucose is a crucial risk factor for endothelial cell damage. Nuclear factor-kappaB (NF-kappaB) has been demonstrated as a mediated signaling in hyperglycemia or oxidative stress-triggered apoptosis of endothelial cells. Here we explored the efficacy of honokiol, a small molecular weight natural product, on NADPH oxidase-related oxidative stress-mediated NF-kappaB-regulated signaling and apoptosis in human umbilical vein endothelial cells (HUVECs) under hyperglycemic conditions. The methods of morphological Hoechst staining and annexin V/propidium iodide staining were used to detect apoptosis. Submicromolar concentrations of honokiol suppressed the increases of NADPH oxidase activity, Rac-1 phosphorylation, p22(phox) protein expression, and reactive oxygen species production in high glucose (HG)-stimulated HUVECs. The degradation of IkappaBalpha and increase of NF-kappaB activity were inhibited by honokiol in HG-treated HUVECs. Moreover, honokiol (0.125-1 microM) also suppressed HG-induced cyclooxygenase (COX)-2 upregulation and prostaglandin E(2) production in HUVECs. Honokiol could reduce increased caspase-3 activity and the subsequent apoptosis and cell death triggered by HG. These results imply that inhibition of NADPH oxidase-related oxidative stress by honokiol suppresses the HG-induced NF-kappaB-regulated COX-2 upregulation, apoptosis, and cell death in HUVECs, which has the potential to be developed as a therapeutic agent to prevent hyperglycemia-induced endothelial damage. 相似文献

Interactions of calcineurin A, calcineurin B, and Ca2+. 总被引:1,自引:0,他引:1
Calcineurin B (CN-B) is the Ca(2+)-binding, regulatory subunit of the phosphatase calcineurin. Point mutations to Ca(2+)-binding sites in CN-B were generated to disable individual Ca(2+)-binding sites and evaluate contributions from each site to calcineurin heterodimer formation. Ca(2+)-binding properties of four CN-B mutants and wild-type CN-B were analyzed by flow dialysis confirming that each CN-B mutant binds three Ca2+ and that wild-type CN-B binds four Ca2+. Macroscopic dissociation constants indicate that N-terminal Ca(2+)-binding sites have lower affinity for Ca2+ than the C-terminal sites. Each CN-B mutant was coexpressed with the catalytic subunit of calcineurin, CN-A, to produce heterodimers with specific disruption of one Ca(2+)-binding site. Enzymes containing CN-B with a mutation in Ca(2+)-binding sites 1 or 2 have a lower ratio of CN-B to CN-A and a lower phosphatase activity than those containing wild-type CN-B or mutants in sites 3 or 4. Effects of heterodimer formation on Ca2+ binding were assessed by monitoring (45)Ca2+ exchange by flow dialysis. Enzymes containing wild-type CN-B and mutants in sites 1 and 2 exchange (45)Ca2+ slowly from two sites whereas mutants in sites 3 and 4 exchange (45)Ca2+ slowly from a single site. These data indicate that the Ca2+ bound to sites 1 and 2 is likely to vary with Ca2+ concentration and may act in dynamic modulation of enzyme function, whereas Ca(2+)-binding sites 3 and 4 are saturated at all times and that Ca2+ bound to these sites is structural. 相似文献

Vascular endothelial apoptosis is closely associated with the pathogenesis and progression of diabetic macrovascular diseases. Selenoprotein S (SelS) participates in the protection of vascular endothelial and smooth muscle cells from oxidative and endoplasmic reticulum stress-induced injury. However, whether SelS can protect vascular endothelium from high glucose (HG)-induced apoptosis and the underlying mechanism remains unclear. The present study preliminarily analyzed aortic endothelial apoptosis and SelS expression in diabetic rats in vivo and the effects of HG on human umbilical vein endothelial cell (HUVEC) apoptosis and SelS expression in vitro. Subsequently, SelS expression was up- or downregulated in HUVECs using the pcDNA3.1-SelS recombinant plasmid and SelS-specific small interfering RNAs, and the effects of high/low SelS expression on HG-induced HUVEC apoptosis and a possible molecular mechanism were analyzed. As expected, HG induced vascular endothelial apoptosis and upregulated endothelial SelS expression in vivo and in vitro. SelS overexpression in HUVECs suppressed HG-induced increase in apoptosis and cleaved caspase3 level, accompanied by reduced protein kinase CβII (PKCβII), c-JUN N-terminal kinase (JNK), and B-cell lymphoma/leukemia-2 (Bcl-2) phosphorylation. In contrast, inhibiting SelS expression in HUVECs further aggravated HG-induced increase in apoptosis and cleaved caspase3 level, which was accompanied by increased PKCβII, JNK, and Bcl-2 phosphorylation. Pretreatment with PKC activators blocked the protective effects of SelS and increased the apoptosis and cleaved caspase3 level in HUVECs. In summary, SelS protects vascular endothelium from HG-induced apoptosis, and this was achieved through the inhibition of PKCβII/JNK/Bcl-2 pathway to eventually inhibit caspase3 activation. SelS may be a promising target for the prevention and treatment of diabetic macrovascular complications. 相似文献

The reciprocal regulation of noncapacitative and capacitative (or store-operated) Ca2+ entry in nonexcitable cells (Mignen, O., Thompson, J. L., and Shuttleworth, T. J. (2001) J. Biol. Chem. 276, 35676-35683) represents a switching between two distinct Ca2+-selective channels: the noncapacitative arachidonate-regulated Ca2+ channels (ARC channels) and the store-operated Ca2+ channels (SOC channels). This switch is directly associated with the change from oscillatory to sustained Ca2+ signals as agonist concentrations increase and involves a Ca2+-dependent inhibition of the ARC channels. Here we show that this process is mediated via a calcineurin-dependent inhibition of the noncapacitative ARC channels. Pharmacological and molecular inhibition of calcineurin activity (using cyclosporin or the FK506 analogue ascomycin, and a transfected C-terminal domain of the calcineurin inhibitory protein CAIN, respectively) results in a complete reversal of the Ca2+-dependent inhibition of the ARC channels. Agonist concentrations that result in oscillatory Ca2+ signals and specifically activate Ca2+ entry through the ARC channels fail to increase calcineurin activity. However, agonist concentrations that activate the store-operated Ca2+ channels and produce prolonged increases in cytosolic Ca2+ concentrations increase calcineurin activity. Thus, calcineurin is the key mediator of the reciprocal regulation of these co-existing channels, allowing each to play a unique and non-overlapping role in Ca2+ signaling. 相似文献

Using a combination of fluorescence measurements of intracellular Ca(2+) ion concentration ([Ca(2+)](i)) and membrane potential we have investigated the sensitivity to serine/threonine phosphatase inhibition of Ca(2+) entry stimulated by activation of the Ca(2+) release-activated Ca(2+) (CRAC) entry pathway in rat basophilic leukemia cells. In both suspension and adherent cells, addition of the type 1/2A phosphatase inhibitor calyculin A, during activation of CRAC uptake, resulted in a fall in [Ca(2+)](i) to near preactivation levels. Pre-treatment with calyculin A abolished the component of the Ca(2+) rise associated with activation of CRAC uptake and inhibited Mn(2+) entry, consistent with a requirement of phosphatase activity for activation of the pathway. Depletion of intracellular Ca(2+) stores is accompanied by a large depolarisation which is absolutely dependent upon Ca(2+) entry via the CRAC uptake pathway. Application of calyculin A or okadaic acid, a structurally unrelated phosphatase antagonist inhibits this depolarisation. Taken in concert, these data demonstrate a marked sensitivity of the CRAC entry pathway to inhibition by calyculin A and okadaic acid. 相似文献

Ca(2+) influx has been shown to be essential for NADPH oxidase activity which is involved in the inflammatory process. Ca(2+) conditions underlying the oxidative response are clearly delineated. Here, we show that store-operated Ca(2+) entry (SOCE) is required at the beginning of NADPH oxidase activation in response to fMLF (N-formyl-L-methionyl-L-leucyl-L-phenylalanine) in neutrophil-like HL-60 cells. When extracellular Ca(2+) is initially removed, early addition of Ca(2+) after stimulation causes a complete restoration of Ca(2+) entry and H(2)O(2) production. Both Ca(2+) entry and H(2)O(2) production are decreased by purported SOCE blockers, 2-aminoethoxydiphenyl borane (2-APB) and SK&F 96365. Endogenously expressed TRPC (transient receptor potential canonical) homologues and Orai1 were investigated for their role in supporting store-operated Ca(2+) channels activity. TRPC1, TRPC6 and Orai1 knock-out by siRNA resulted in the inhibition of Ca(2+) influx and H(2)O(2) production in response to fMLF and thapsigargin while suppression of TRPC3 had no effect on thapsigargin induced-SOCE. 2-APB and SK&F 96365 were able to amplify the reduction of fMLF-stimulated Ca(2+) entry and H(2)O(2) production observed in cells transfected by TRPC3 siRNA. In summary, Ca(2+) influx in HL-60 cells relies on different membrane TRPC channels and Orai1 for allowing NADPH oxidase activation. TRPC3 primarily mediates SOCE-independent pathways and TRPC1, TRPC6 and Orai1 exclusively contribute to SOCE. 相似文献

2-Aminoethoxydiphenylborate (2-APB) inhibits the extent of inositol 1,4,5-trisphosphate (InsP(3))-induced Ca(2+) release from cerebellar microsomes with a potency that is dependent upon the InsP(3) concentration used. At high InsP(3) concentrations (10 microM), the concentration of 2-APB required to cause half-maximal InsP(3)-induced Ca(2+) release (IC(50)) was greater than 1 mM, while at 0.25 microM InsP(3) this reduced to 220 microM. The fact that the inhibition of the extent of InsP(3)-induced Ca(2+) release (IICR) by 2-APB was not restored to control levels by high concentrations of InsP(3), in addition to the fact 2-APB did not substantially inhibit [3H]InsP(3) binding to its receptor, indicates that the inhibition is not competitive in nature. Since the cooperativity of IICR as a function of InsP(3) was reduced in the presence of 2-APB (Hill coefficient changing from 1.9 in the absence of 2-APB to 1.4 in the presence of 1 mM 2-APB), this suggests that it is acting as an allosteric inhibitor. 2-APB also reduces the rate constants for IICR. In cerebellar microsomes this release process is biphasic in nature, with a fast and slow phase. 2-APB appears particularly to affect the fast-phase component. Although 2-APB does not inhibit the ryanodine receptor, it does inhibit the Ca(2+) ATPase activity as well store-operated Ca(2+) entry channels, which may limit its use as a specific membrane permeant InsP(3) receptor inhibitor. 相似文献

The action of 2-aminoethoxydiphenyl borate (2-APB) on Ca(2+) signalling in HeLa cells and cardiac myocytes was investigated. Consistent with other studies, we found that superfusion of cells with 2-APB rapidly inhibited inositol 1,4,5-trisphosphate (InsP(3))-mediated Ca(2+) release and store-operated Ca(2+) entry (SOC). In addition to abrogating hormone-evoked Ca(2+) responses, 2-APB could antagonise Ca(2+) signals evoked by a membrane permeant InsP(3) ester. 2-APB also slowed the recovery of intracellular Ca(2+) signals consistent with an effect on Ca(2+) ATPases. The inhibitory action of 2-APB on InsP(3) receptors (InsP(3)Rs), SOC channels and Ca(2+) pumps persisted for several minutes after washout of the compound. Application of 2-APB to unstimulated cells had no effect on subsequent Ca(2+) responses suggesting that it has a use-dependent action. Mitochondria in cells treated with 2-APB showed a rapid and slowly reversible swelling. 2-APB did not cause the mitochondria to depolarise, but it reduced the extent of mitochondrial calcium uptake. Although 2-APB has been demonstrated not to affect voltage-operated Ca(2+) channels or ryanodine receptors, we found that it gave a concentration-dependent long-lasting inhibition of Ca(2+) signalling in electrically-stimulated cardiac myocytes, where InsP(3)Rs and SOC channels do not play a significant role. Our data suggest that 2-APB has multiple cellular targets, a use-dependent action, is difficult to reverse and may affect Ca(2+) signalling in cell types where InsP(3) and SOC are not active. 相似文献

Calcium signaling is a cellular event that plays a key role at many steps of fertilization and early development. However, little is known regarding the contribution of extracellular Ca(2+) influx into the cell to this signaling in gametes and early embryos. To better know the significance of calcium entry on oocyte physiology, we have evaluated the mechanism of store-operated calcium entry (SOCE) in human metaphase II (MII) oocytes and its sensitivity to oxidative stress, one of the major factors implicated in the outcome of in vitro fertilization (IVF) techniques. We show that depletion of intracellular Ca(2+) stores through inhibition of sarco(endo)plasmic Ca(2+)-ATPase with thapsigargin triggers Ca(2+) entry in resting human oocytes. Ba(2+) and Mn(2+) influx was also stimulated following inhibition, and Ca(2+) entry was sensitive to pharmacological inhibition because the SOCE blocker 2-aminoethoxydiphenylborate (2-APB) reduced calcium and barium entry. These results support the conclusion that there is a plasma membrane mechanism responsible for the capacitative divalent cation entry in human oocytes. Moreover, the Ca(2+) entry mechanism described in MII oocytes was found to be highly sensitive to oxidative stress. Hydrogen peroxide, at micromolar concentrations that could mimic culture conditions in IVF, elicited an increase of [Ca(2+)](i) that was dependent on the presence of extracellular Ca(2+). This rise was preventable by 2-APB, indicating that it was mainly due to the enhanced influx through store-operated calcium channels. In sum, our results demonstrate the occurrence of SOCE in human MII oocytes and the modification of this pathway due to oxidative stress, with possible consequences in IVF. 相似文献

Previous studies showed that, in wild-type (MATa) cells, alpha-factor causes an essential rise in cytosolic Ca2+. We show that calcineurin, the Ca2+/calmodulin-dependent protein phosphatase, is one target of this Ca2+ signal. Calcineurin mutants lose viability when incubated with mating pheromone, and overproduction of constitutively active (Ca(2+)-independent) calcineurin improves the viability of wild-type cells exposed to pheromone in Ca(2+)-deficient medium. Thus, one essential consequence of the pheromone-induced rise in cytosolic Ca2+ is activation of calcineurin. Although calcineurin inhibits intracellular Ca2+ sequestration in yeast cells, neither increased extracellular Ca2+ nor defects in vacuolar Ca2+ transport bypasses the requirement for calcineurin during the pheromone response. These observations suggest that the essential function of calcineurin in the pheromone response may be distinct from its modulation of intracellular Ca2+ levels. Mutants that do not undergo pheromone-induced cell cycle arrest (fus3, far1) show decreased dependence on calcineurin during treatment with pheromone. Thus, calcineurin is essential in yeast cells during prolonged exposure to pheromone and especially under conditions of pheromone-induced growth arrest. Ultrastructural examination of pheromone-treated cells indicates that vacuolar morphology is abnormal in calcineurin-deficient cells, suggesting that calcineurin may be required for maintenance of proper vacuolar structure or function during the pheromone response. 相似文献

Oxidative stress and apoptosis in retinal pigment epithelium cells are involved in the pathogenesis of diabetic retinopathy (DR). Forkhead box class O 6 (FOXO6) is a member of the FOXO family that can regulate diabetes-induced oxidative stress. However, the role of FOXO6 in DR has not been clarified. The aim of the present study was to investigate the effects of FOXO6 on high glucose (HG)-induced oxidative stress and apoptosis in ARPE-19 cells. The results showed that FOXO6 was overexpressed in clinical vitreous samples from DR patients and in HG-induced ARPE-19 cells. Knockdown of FOXO6 by small interfeing RNA targeting FOXO6 (si-FOXO6) mitigated the HG-induced the production of reactive oxygen species and malondialdehyde, as well as the inhibition of superoxide dismutase activity. Knockdown of FOXO6 reduced the rate of cell apoptosis in HG-induced ARPE-19 cells. The increase in bax expression and decrease in bcl-2 expression caused by HG stimulation were reversed by si-FOXO6 transfection. Furthermore, knockdown of FOXO6 enhanced the activation of Akt/Nrf2 pathway in HG-stimulated ARPE-19 cells. Taken together, suppression of FOXO6 protects ARPE-19 cells from HG-induced oxidative stress and apoptosis, which is in part mediated by the activation of Akt/Nrf2 pathway. 相似文献

WEHI-231 and Bal 17 B cell lines are representative models for immature and mature B cells, respectively. Their regulation of cytosolic Ca(2+) concentration ([Ca(2+)](c)) was compared using fura-2 fluorescence ratiometry. The ligation of B cell antigen receptor (BCR) by anti-IgM antibody induced a slow but large increase of [Ca(2+)](c) in WEHI-231 cells while not in Bal 17 cells. The thapsigargin-induced store-operated Ca(2+) entry (SOCE) of Bal 17 cells reached a steady state which was blocked by 2-aminoethoxydiphenyl borate (2-APB). On the contrary, the thapsigargin-induced SOCE of WEHI-231 cells increased continuously, which was accelerated by 2-APB. The increase of [Ca(2+)](c) by BCR ligation was also enhanced by 2-APB in WEHI-231 cells while blocked in Bal 17 cells. The Mn(2+) quenching study showed that the thapsigargin-, or the BCR ligation-induced Ca(2+) influx pathway of WEHI-231 was hardly permeable to Mn(2+). The intractable increase of [Ca(2+)](c) may explain the mechanism of BCR-driven apoptosis of WEHI-231 cells, a well-known model of clonal deletion of autoreactive immature B cells. 相似文献

Store-operated channels (SOCs) provide an important means for mediating longer-term Ca(2+) signals and replenishment of Ca(2+) stores in a multitude of cell types. However, the coupling mechanism between endoplasmic reticulum stores to activate plasma membrane SOCs remains unknown. In DT40 chicken B lymphocytes, the permeant inositol trisphosphate receptor (InsP(3)R) modifier, 2-aminoethoxydiphenyl borate (2-APB), was a powerful activator of store-operated Ca(2+) entry between 1-10 microm. 2-APB activated authentic SOCs because the entry was totally selective for Ca(2+) (no detectable entry of Ba(2+) or Sr(2+) ions), and highly sensitive to La(3+) ions (IC(50) 30-100 nm). To assess the role of InsP(3)Rs in this response, we used the DT40 triple InsP(3)R-knockout (ko) cell line, DT40InsP(3)R-ko, in which the absence of full-length InsP(3)Rs or InsP(3)R fragments was verified by Western analysis using antibodies cross-reacting with N-terminal epitopes of all three chicken InsP(3)R subtypes. The 2-APB-induced activation of SOCs was identical in the DT40InsP(3)R-ko, cells indicating InsP(3)Rs were not involved. With both wild type (wt) and ko DT40 cells, 2-APB had no effect on Ca(2+) entry in store-replete cells, indicating that its action was restricted to SOCs in a store-coupled state. 2-APB induced a robust activation of Ca(2+) release from stores in intact DT40wt cells but not in DT40InsP(3)R-ko cells, indicating an InsP(3)R-mediated effect. In contrast, 2-APB blocked InsP(3)Rs in permeabilized DT40wt cells, suggesting that the stimulatory action of 2-APB was restricted to functionally coupled InsP(3)Rs in intact cells. Uncoupling of ER/PM interactions in intact cells by calyculin A-induced cytoskeletal rearrangement prevented SOC activation by store-emptying and 2-APB; this treatment completely prevented 2-APB-induced InsP(3)R activation but did not alter InsP(3)R activation mediated by phospholipase C-coupled receptor stimulation. The results indicate that the robust bifunctional actions of 2-APB on both SOCs and InsP(3)Rs are dependent on the coupled state of these channels and suggest that 2-APB may target the coupling machinery involved in mediating store-operated Ca(2+) entry. 相似文献

Hsa-miRNA-29a protects against high glucose-induced damage in human umbilical vein endothelial cells
Sustained exposure to high glucose (HG) results in dysfunction of vascular endothelial cells. Hence, diabetic patients often suffer from secondary vascular damages, such as vascular sclerosis and thrombogenesis, which may eventually cause cardiovascular problems. Thus, elucidating how HG results in vascular endothelial cell damage and finding an approach for prevention are important to prevent and treat vascular damages in diabetic patients. In the current study, we first showed that 72-hour exposure to HG-decreased hsa-miRNA-29a and increased the expression of Bcl-2 associated X protein (Bax), which subsequently inhibited Bcl-2 and promoted the expression of apoptotic protease activating factor-1 and activation of caspase-3, thus directly triggering the mitochondrial apoptotic pathway in human umbilical vein endothelial cells (HUVECs). Study of the underlying mechanism showed that hsa-miRNA-29a/Bax plays an essential role in the decreased proliferation and increased apoptosis of HUVECs induced by HG, and overexpression of hsa-miRNA-29a effectively inhibits HG-induced apoptosis and restores the proliferation and tube formation of HUVECs exposed to HG by inhibiting its target gene Bax. In short, our study demonstrates that hsa-miRNA-29a is a promising target for the prevention and treatment of vascular injury in diabetic patients. 相似文献

The Ca(2+)-dependent activation of calcineurin phosphatase activity is regulated by an autoinhibitory element (residues 457-482) located 43 residues COOH-terminal of the calmodulin-binding domain (residues 390-414). Removal of residues 457-482 does not result in full Ca(2+)/calmodulin-independent activity. Full activity in the absence of Ca(2+) requires the removal of residues 420-457. In the present study the presence of additional autoinhibitory elements within residues 420-457 was tested using two calcineurin A subunit COOH-terminal region constructs containing residues 420-511 (AI(420-511)) or 328-511 (AI(328-511)). Using recombinant, Ca(2+)/calmodulin-independent calcineurin, AI(420-511) and AI(328-511) were three- to fourfold more potent inhibitors of calcineurin phosphatase activity than the synthetic calcineurin autoinhibitory peptide(457-482). Calmodulin reversed the inhibition of calcineurin phosphatase activity by AI(328-511) but not AI(420-511). Kinetic studies indicated that AI(420-511) exhibited mixed-type inhibition and that the enzyme/substrate/inhibitor complex is partially active. These results indicate that (i) additional autoinhibitory elements are present within residues 420-457, (ii) calmodulin-binding to the autoinhibitory domain neutralizes the inhibitory function of the 420-457 autoinhibitory segment, (iii) the full-length autoinhibitory domain is a mixed-type inhibitor of calcineurin phosphatase activity, and (iv) the enzyme/substrate/inhibitor complex is partially catalytically active. 相似文献

The biological actions of retinoids are mediated by nuclear retinoic acid receptors (RARs) and retinoid X receptors (RXRs). We have recently reported that decreased expression of RARα and RXRα has an important role in high glucose (HG)-induced cardiomyocyte apoptosis. However, the regulatory mechanisms of HG effects on RARα and RXRα remain unclear. Using neonatal cardiomyocytes, we found that ligand-induced promoter activity of RAR and RXR was significantly suppressed by HG. HG promoted protein destabilization and serine-phosphorylation of RARα and RXRα. Proteasome inhibitor MG132 blocked the inhibitory effect of HG on RARα and RXRα. Inhibition of intracellular reactive oxidative species (ROS) abolished the HG effect. In contrast, H(2)O(2) stimulation suppressed the expression and ligand-induced promoter activity of RARα and RXRα. HG promoted phosphorylation of ERK1/2, JNK and p38 MAP kinases, which was abrogated by an ROS inhibitor. Inhibition of JNK, but not ERK and p38 activity, reversed HG effects on RARα and RXRα. Activation of JNK by over expressing MKK7 and MEKK1, resulted in significant downregulation of RARα and RXRα. Ligand-induced promoter activity of RARα and RXRα was also suppressed by overexpression of MEKK1. HG-induced cardiomyocyte apoptosis was potentiated by activation of JNK, and prevented by all-trans retinoic acid and inhibition of JNK. Silencing the expression of RARα and RXRα activated the JNK pathway. In conclusion, HG-induced oxidative stress and activation of the JNK pathway negatively regulated expression/activation of RAR and RXR. The impaired RAR/RXR signaling and oxidative stress/JNK pathway forms a vicious circle, which significantly contributes to hyperglycemia induced cardiomyocyte apoptosis. 相似文献

7-Ketocholesterol is a component of oxidized LDL, which plays a central role in atherosclerosis. It is a potent inducer of cell death towards a wide number of cells involved in atherosclerosis. In this study, it is reported that 7-ketocholesterol treatment induces an increase of cytosolic-free Ca(2+) in THP-1 monocytic cells. This increase is correlated with the induction of cytotoxicity as suggested from experiments using the Ca(2+) channel blockers verapamil and nifedipine. This 7-ketocholesterol-induced apoptosis appears to be associated with the dephosphorylation of serine 75 and serine 99 of the proapoptotic protein Bcl-2 antagonist of cell death (BAD). We demonstrated that this dephosphorylation results mainly from the activation of calcium-dependent phosphatase calcineurin by the oxysterol-induced increase in Ca(2+). Moreover, this Ca(2+) increase appears related to the incorporation of 7-ketocholesterol into lipid raft domains of the plasma membrane, followed by the translocation of transient receptor potential calcium channel 1, a component of the store operated Ca(2+) entry channel, to rafts. 相似文献

The mechanism for coupling between Ca(2+) stores and store-operated channels (SOCs) is an important but unresolved question. Although SOCs have not been molecularly identified, transient receptor potential (TRP) channels share a number of operational parameters with SOCs. The question of whether activation of SOCs and TRP channels is mediated by the inositol 1,4,5-trisphosphate receptor (InsP(3)R) was examined using the permeant InsP(3)R antagonist, 2-aminoethoxydiphenyl borate (2-APB) in both mammalian and invertebrate systems. In HEK293 cells stably transfected with human TRPC3 channels, the actions of 2-APB to block carbachol-induced InsP(3)R-mediated store release and carbachol-induced Sr(2+) entry through TRPC3 channels were both reversed at high agonist levels, suggesting InsP(3)Rs mediate TRPC3 activation. However, electroretinogram recordings of the light-induced current in Drosophila revealed that the TRP channel-mediated responses in wild-type as well as trp and trpl mutant flies were all inhibited by 2-APB. This action of 2-APB is likely InsP(3)R-independent since InsP(3)Rs are dispensable for the light response. We used triple InsP(3)R knockout DT40 chicken B-cells to further assess the role of InsP(3)Rs in SOC activation. (45)Ca(2+) flux analysis revealed that although DT40 wild-type cells retained normal InsP(3)Rs mediating 2-APB-sensitive Ca(2+) release, the DT40InsP(3)R-k/o cells were devoid of functional InsP(3)Rs. Using intact cells, all parameters of Ca(2+) store function and SOC activation were identical in DT40wt and DT40InsP(3)R-k/o cells. Moreover, in both cell lines SOC activation was completely blocked by 2-APB, and the kinetics of action of 2-APB on SOCs (time dependence and IC(50)) were identical. The results indicate that (a) the action of 2-APB on Ca(2+) entry is not mediated by the InsP(3)R and (b) the effects of 2-APB provide evidence for an important similarity in the function of invertebrate TRP channels, mammalian TRP channels, and mammalian store-operated channels. 相似文献
