Activation of stimulatory heterotrimeric G proteins increases glutathione and protects neuronal cells against oxidative stress 总被引:2,自引:0,他引:2
Oxidative glutamate toxicity in the neuronal cell line HT22 is a model for cell death by oxidative stress, where an excess of extracellular glutamate inhibits import of cystine, a building block of the antioxidant glutathione. The subsequent decrease in glutathione then leads to the accumulation of reactive oxygen species (ROS) and programmed cell death. We used pharmacological compounds known to interact with heterotrimeric G-protein signalling and studied their effects on cell survival, morphology, and intracellular events that ultimately lead to cell death. Cholera toxin and phorbol esters were most effective and prevented cell death through independent pathways. Treating HT22 cells with cholera toxin attenuated the glutamate-induced accumulation of ROS and calcium influx. This was, at least in part, caused by an increase in glutathione due to improved uptake of cystine mediated by the induction of the glutamate/cystine-antiporter subunit xCT or, additionally, by the up-regulation of the antiapoptotic protein Bcl-2. Gs activation also protected HT22 cells from hydrogen peroxide or inhibition of glutathione synthesis by buthionine sulfoximine, and immature cortical neurones from oxidative glutamate toxicity. Thus, this pathway might be more generally implicated in protection from neuronal death by oxidative stress. 相似文献

Recent evidence has been provided for astrocyte degeneration in experimental models of neurodegenerative insults associated with glutamate transport alteration. To determine whether astrocyte death can directly result from altered glutamate transport, we here investigated the effects of L-trans-pyrrolidine-2,4-dicarboxylate (PDC) on undifferentiated or differentiated cultured rat striatal astrocytes. PDC induced death of differentiated astrocytes without affecting undifferentiated astrocyte viability. Death of differentiated astrocytes was also triggered by another substrate inhibitor but not by blockers of glutamate transporters. The PDC-induced death was delayed and apoptotic, and death rate was dose and treatment duration-dependent. Although preceded by extracellular glutamate increase, this death was not mediated through glutamate receptor stimulation, as antagonists did not provide protection. It involves oxidative stress, as a decrease in glutathione contents and a dramatic raise in reactive oxygen species preceded cell loss, and as protection was provided by antioxidants. PDC induced a similar percentage of GSH depletion in the undifferentiated astrocytes, but only a slight increase in reactive oxygen species. Interestingly, undifferentiated astrocytes exhibited twofold higher basal GSH content compared with the differentiated ones, and depleting their GSH content was found to render them susceptible to PDC. Altogether, these data demonstrate that basal GSH content is a critical factor of astrocyte vulnerability to glutamate transport alteration with possible insights onto concurrent death of astrocytes and gliosis in neurodegenerative insults. 相似文献

The primary function assigned to the sodium-dependent glutamate transporters, also known as excitatory amino acid transporters
(EAATs), is to maintain the extracellular glutamate concentration in the low micromolar range, allowing glutamate to be used
as a signaling molecule in the brain and preventing its cytotoxic effects. However, glutamate and cyst(e)ine, that is also
a substrate of EAATs, are also important metabolites used for instance in the synthesis of the main antioxidant glutathione.
This review describes the evidence suggesting that EAATs, by providing glutathione precursors, are crucial to prevent oxidative
death in particular cells of the nervous system while being dispensable in others. This differential importance may depend
on the way antioxidant defenses are maintained in each cell type and on the metabolic fate of transported substrates, both
being probably controlled by EAAT interacting proteins. As oxidative stress invariably contributes to various forms of cell
death, a better understanding of how antioxidant defenses are maintained in particular brain cells will probably help to develop
protective strategies in degenerative insults specifically affecting these cells. 相似文献

Neuronal cell death caused by oxidative stress is common in a variety of neural diseases and can be investigated in detail in cultured HT22 neuronal cells, where the amino acid glutamate at high concentrations causes glutathione depletion by inhibition of the glutamate/cystine antiporter system, intracellular accumulation of reactive oxygen species (ROS) and eventually oxidative stress-induced neuronal cell death. Using this paradigm, we have previously reported that resveratrol (3,5,4′-trans-trihydroxystilbene) protects HT22 neuronal cells from glutamate-induced oxidative stress by inducing heme oxygenase (HO)-1 expression. Piceatannol (3,5,4′,3′-trans-trihydroxystilbene), which is a hydroxylated resveratrol analog and one of the resveratrol metabolites, is estimated to exert neuroprotective effect similar to that of resveratrol. The aim of this study, thus, is to determine whether piceatannol, similarly to resveratrol, would protect HT22 neuronal cells from glutamate-induced oxidative stress. Glutamate at high concentrations induced neuronal cell death and ROS formation. Piceatannol reduced glutamate-induced cell death and ROS formation. The observed cytoprotective effect was much higher when HT22 neuronal cells were pretreated with piceatannol for 6 or 12 h prior to glutamate treatment than when pretreated for 0.5 h. Piceatannol also increased HO-1 expression and HO activity via its activation of nuclear factor-E2-related factor 2 (Nrf2). Interestingly, neuroprotective effect of piceatannol was partly (but not completely) abolished by either down-regulation of HO-1 expression or blockage of HO-1 activity. Taken together, our results suggest that piceatannol, similar to resveratrol, is capable of protecting HT22 neuronal cells against glutamate-induced cell death, at least in part, by inducing Nrf2-dependent HO-1 expression. 相似文献

Glutamate-induced oxidative toxicity is mediated by glutathione depletion in the HT22 mouse hippocampal cell line. Previous results with pharmacological agents implicated the extracellular signal-regulated kinases-1/2 (ERK1/2) in glutamate toxicity in HT22 cells and immature embryonic rat cortical neurons. In this report, we definitively establish a role for ERK1/2 in oxidative toxicity using dominant negative MEK1 expression in transiently transfected HT22 cells to block glutamate-induced cell death. In contrast, chronic activation of ERK (i.e. brought about by transfection of constitutively active ERK2 chimera) is not sufficient to trigger HT22 cell death demonstrating that ERK1/2 activation is not sufficient for toxicity. Activation of ERK1/2 in HT22 cells has a distinct kinetic profile with an initial peak occurring between 30 min and 1 h of glutamate treatment and a second peak typically emerging after 6 h. We demonstrate here that the initial phase of ERK1/2 induction is because of activation of metabotropic glutamate receptor type I (mGluRI). ERK1/2 activation by mGluRI contributes to an HT22 cell adaptive response to oxidative stress as glutamate-induced toxicity is enhanced upon pharmacological inhibition of mGluRI. The protective effect of ERK1/2 activation at early times after glutamate treatment is mediated by a restoration of glutathione (GSH) levels that are reduced because of depletion of intracellular cysteine pools. Thus, ERK1/2 appears to play dual roles in HT22 cells acting as part of a cellular adaptive response during the initial phases of glutamate-induced oxidative stress and contributing to toxicity during later stages of stress. 相似文献

Glutamate is the major excitatory neurotransmitter of the central nervous system (CNS) and may induce cytotoxicity through persistent activation of glutamate receptors and oxidative stress. Its extracellular concentration is maintained at physiological concentrations by high affinity glutamate transporters of the solute carrier 1 family (SLC1). Glutamate is also present in islet of Langerhans where it is secreted by the α-cells and acts as a signaling molecule to modulate hormone secretion. Whether glutamate plays a role in islet cell viability is presently unknown. We demonstrate that chronic exposure to glutamate exerts a cytotoxic effect in clonal β-cell lines and human islet β-cells but not in α-cells. In human islets, glutamate-induced β-cell cytotoxicity was associated with increased oxidative stress and led to apoptosis and autophagy. We also provide evidence that the key regulator of extracellular islet glutamate concentration is the glial glutamate transporter 1 (GLT1). GLT1 localizes to the plasma membrane of β-cells, modulates hormone secretion, and prevents glutamate-induced cytotoxicity as shown by the fact that its down-regulation induced β-cell death, whereas GLT1 up-regulation promoted β-cell survival. In conclusion, the present study identifies GLT1 as a new player in glutamate homeostasis and signaling in the islet of Langerhans and demonstrates that β-cells critically depend on its activity to control extracellular glutamate levels and cellular integrity. 相似文献

Oxidative stress has been shown to underlie a diverse range of neuropathological conditions. Glutamate-induced oxidative toxicity is a well described model of oxidative stress-induced neurodegeneration that relies upon the ability of extracellular glutamate to inhibit a glutamate/cystine antiporter, which results in a depletion of intracellular cysteine and the blockade of continued glutathione synthesis. Glutathione depletion leads to a gradual toxic accumulation of reactive oxygen species. We have previously determined that glutamate-induced oxidative toxicity is accompanied by a robust increase in activation of the mitogen-activated protein kinase (MAPK) member extracellular-signal regulated kinase (ERK) and that this activation is essential for neuronal cell death. This study demonstrates that delayed ERK activation is dependent upon the activity of phosphoinositol-3 kinase (PI3K) and that transient but not sustained PI3K inhibition leads to significant protection of neurons from oxidative stress-induced neurodegeneration. Furthermore, we show that transient PI3K inhibition prevents the delayed activation of MEK-1, a direct activator of ERK, during oxidative stress. Thus, this study is the first to demonstrate a novel level of cross-talk between the PI3K and ERK pathways in cultured immature cortical neuronal cultures that contributes to the unfolding of a cell death program. The PI3K pathway, therefore, may serve opposing roles during the progression of oxidative stress in neurons, acting at distinct kinetic phases to either promote or limit a slowly developing program of cell death. 相似文献

There is increasing evidence to suggest that reactive oxygen species, including a variety of lipid oxidation products and other physiologically existing oxidative stimuli, can induce an adaptive response and enhance cell tolerance. In the present study, by using cultured cortical neurons, we investigated the effect of electrophilic lipids, such as 15-deoxy-Delta(12,14)-prostaglandin J(2) (15d-PGJ(2)) and 4-hydroxy-2-nonenal (4-HNE) against the cell death induced by H(2)O(2) and glutamate. Pre-treatment with both 15d-PGJ(2) and 4-HNE at sublethal concentrations resulted in a significant protective effect against oxidative stress, and 15d-PGJ(2), in particular, exhibited a complete protective effect against glutamate-induced neuronal cell death. Pre-treatment with 15d-PGJ(2) increased the intracellular glutathione (GSH) as well as the gene expression of glutamate-cysteine ligase (GCL), the rate-limiting enzyme of GSH synthesis. 15d-PGJ(2) protected cells from glutamate-induced GSH depletion, while the inhibition of cellular GSH synthesis by buthionine sulfoximine abolished the adaptive response induced by 15d-PGJ(2). These findings indicate that at low levels, 15d-PGJ(2) acts as a potent survival mediator against glutamate-induced insults via the induction of an adaptive response primarily through the up-regulation of the intracellular GSH synthesis. 相似文献

Glutamate is removed mainly by astrocytes from the extracellular fluid via high-affinity astroglial Na+-dependent excitatory amino acid transporters, glutamate/aspartate transporter (GLAST), and glutamate transporter-1 (GLT-1).
Mercuric chloride (HgCl2) is a highly toxic compound that inhibits glutamate uptake in astrocytes, resulting in excessive extracellular glutamate
accumulation, leading to excitotoxicity and neuronal cell death. The mechanisms associated with the inhibitory effects of
HgCl2 on glutamate uptake are unknown. This study examines the effects of HgCl2 on the transport of 3H-d-aspartate, a nonmetabolizable glutamate analog, using Chinese hamster ovary cells (CHO) transfected with two glutamate transporter
subtypes, GLAST (EAAT1) and GLT-1 (EAAT2), as a model system. Additionally, studies were undertaken to determine the effects
of HgCl2 on mRNA and protein levels of these transporters. The results indicate that (1) HgCl2 leads to significant (p<0.001) inhibition of glutamate uptake via both transporters, but is a more potent inhibitor of glutamate transport via GLAST
and (2) the effect of HgCl2 on inhibition of glutamate uptake in transfected CHO cells is not associated with changes in transporter protein levels despite
a significant decrease in mRNA expression; thus, (3) HgCl2 inhibition is most likely related to its direct binding to the functional thiol groups of the transporters and interference
with their uptake function. 相似文献

Glutamate excitotoxicity is implicated in the aetiology of amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS) with impairment of glutamate transport into astrocytes a possible cause of glutamate-induced injury to motor neurons. It is possible that mutations of Cu/Zn superoxide dismutase (SOD1), responsible for about 20% of familial ALS, down-regulates glutamate transporters via oxidative stress. We transfected primary mouse astrocytes to investigate the effect of the FALS-linked mutant hSOD1(G93A) and wild-type SOD1 (hSOD1wt) on the glutamate uptake system. Using western blotting, immunocytochemistry and RT-PCR it was shown that expression of either hSOD1(G93A) or hSOD1wt in astrocytes produced down-regulation of the levels of a glutamate transporter GLT-1, without alterations in its mRNA level. hSOD1(G93A) or hSOD1wt expression caused a decrease of the monomeric form of GLT-1 without increasing oxidative multimers of GLT-1. The effects were selective to GLT-1, since another glutamate transporter GLAST protein and mRNA levels were not altered. Reflecting the decrease in GLT-1 protein, [3H]d-aspartate uptake was reduced in cultures expressing hSOD1(G93A) or hSOD1wt. The hSOD1-induced decline in GLT-1 protein and [3H]d-aspartate uptake was not blocked by the antioxidant Trolox nor potentiated by antioxidant depletion using catalase and glutathione peroxidase inhibitors. Measurement of 2',7'-dichlorofluorescein (DCF)-induced fluorescence revealed that expression of hSOD1(G93A) or hSOD1wt in astrocytes does not lead to detectable increase of intracellular reactive oxygen species. This study suggests that levels of GLT-1 protein in astrocytes are reduced rapidly by overexpression of hSOD1, and is due to a property shared between the wild-type and G93A mutant form, but does not involve the production of intracellular oxidative stress. 相似文献

Oxidative stress caused by glutathione depletion after prolonged exposure to extracellular glutamate leads to a form of neuronal cell death that exhibits morphologically mixed features of both apoptosis and necrosis. However, specific downstream executioners involved in this form of cell death have yet to be identified. We report here that glutamate exposure does not activate caspase-3 in the HT22 neuronal cell line. Furthermore, no cytoprotection was achieved with either the pan-caspase inhibitor Z-VAD-fmk or the caspase-3-specific inhibitor DEVD-CHO. In contrast, inhibition of the proteasome by lactacystin protected both HT22 cells and rat primary neuronal cells against cell lysis. In parallel, oxidatively altered and ubiquitinated proteins accumulated in the mitochondrial fraction of cells after proteasome inhibition. These findings suggest that caspases can be decoupled from oxidative stress under some conditions, and implicate the ubiquitin/proteasome pathway in neuronal cell death caused by oxidative glutamate toxicity. 相似文献

Geldanamycin Provides Posttreatment Protection Against Glutamate-Induced
Oxidative Toxicity in a Mouse Hippocampal Cell Line 总被引:2,自引:1,他引:1

Abstract : The benzoquinoid ansamycin geldanamycin interferes with many cell signaling pathways and is currently being evaluated as an anticancer agent. The main intracellular target of geldanamycin is the 90-kDa heat shock protein, hsp90. In this report we demonstrate that geldanamycin is effective at preventing glutamate-induced oxidative toxicity in the HT22 mouse hippocampal cell line, even if given 4 h after glutamate treatment. Geldanamycin prevents glutamate-induced internucleosomal DNA cleavage in the HT22 cells but does not reverse the depletion of glutathione levels brought about by glutamate treatment. Both anabolic and catabolic effects are generated by geldanamycin treatment of HT22 cells, as evidenced by the induction of hsp70 expression and degradation of c-Raf-1 protein, respectively. Thus, geldanamycin may provide an effective strategy for manipulating signaling pathways in neuronal cells that use hsp90 as they proceed through a programmed cell death pathway in response to oxidative stress. 相似文献

Active uptake by neurons and glial cells is the main mechanism for maintaining extracellular glutamate at low, non-toxic concentrations. Activation of adenosine A(2A) receptors increases extracellular glutamate levels, while A(2A) receptor antagonists reduce stimulated glutamate outflow. Whether a modulation of the glutamate uptake system is involved in the effects elicited by A(2A) receptor blockers has never been investigated. This study examined the ability of adenosine A(2A) receptor antagonists to prevent the increase in glutamate levels induced by blockade of the glutamate uptake. In rats implanted with a microdialysis probe in the dorsal striatum, perfusion with 4 mm l-trans-pyrrolidine-2,4-dicarboxylic acid (PDC, a transportable competitive inhibitor of glutamate uptake), or 10 mm dihydrokainic acid (DHK, a non-transportable competitive inhibitor that mainly blocks the glial glutamate transporter GLT-1), significantly increased extracellular glutamate levels. The effects of PDC and DHK were completely prevented by the adenosine A(2A) receptor antagonists SCH 58261 (0.01 mg/kg i.p.) and/or ZM 241385 (5 nm via probe). Since an impairment in glutamate transporter function is thought to play a major role in neurodegenerative disorders, the regulation of glutamate uptake may be one of the mechanisms of the neuroprotective effects of A(2A) receptor antagonists. 相似文献

The oxidative stress-inducible cystine/glutamate exchange system, system xc−, transports one molecule of cystine, the oxidized form of cysteine, into cells and thereby releases one molecule of glutamate
into the extracellular space. It consists of two protein components, the 4F2 heavy chain, necessary for membrane location
of the heterodimer, and the xCT protein, responsible for transport activity. Previously, system xc− has been regarded to be a mere supplier of cysteine to cells for the synthesis of proteins and the antioxidant glutathione
(GSH). In that sense, oxygen, electrophilic agents, and bacterial lipopolysaccharide trigger xCT expression to accommodate
with increased oxidative stress by stimulating GSH biosynthesis. However, emerging evidence established that system xc− may act on its own as a GSH-independent redox system by sustaining a redox cycle over the plasma membrane. Hallmarks of this
cycle are cystine uptake, intracellular reduction to cysteine and secretion of the surplus of cysteine into the extracellular
space. Consequently, increased levels of extracellular cysteine provide a reducing microenvironment required for proper cell
signaling and communication, e.g. as already shown for the mechanism of T cell activation. By contrast, the enhanced release
of glutamate in exchange with cystine may trigger neurodegeneration due to glutamate-induced cytotoxic processes. This review
aims to provide a comprehensive picture from the early days of system xc− research up to now. 相似文献

Excessive accumulation of glutamate in the CNS leads to excitotoxic neuronal damage. However, glutamate clearance is essentially mediated by astrocytes through Na+-dependent high-affinity glutamate transporters (excitatory amino acid transporters (EAATs)). Nevertheless, EAAT function was recently shown to be developmentally restricted in astrocytes and undetectable in mature astrocytes. This suggests a need for other cell types for clearing glutamate in the brain. As blood monocytes infiltrate the CNS in traumatic or inflammatory conditions, we addressed the question of whether macrophages expressed EAATs and were involved in glutamate clearance. We found that macrophages derived from human blood monocytes express both the cystine/glutamate antiporter and EAATs. Kinetic parameters were similar to those determined for neonatal astrocytes and embryonic neurons. Freshly sorted tissue macrophages did not possess EAATs, whereas cultured human spleen macrophages and cultured neonatal murine microglia did. Moreover, blood monocytes did not transport glutamate, but their stimulation with TNF-alpha led to functional transport. This suggests that the acquisition of these transporters by macrophages could be under the control of inflammatory molecules. Also, monocyte-derived macrophages overcame glutamate toxicity in neuron cultures by clearing this molecule. This suggests that brain-infiltrated macrophages and resident microglia may acquire EAATs and, along with astrocytes, regulate extracellular glutamate concentration. Moreover, we showed that EAATs are involved in the regulation of glutathione synthesis by providing intracellular glutamate. These observations thus offer new insight into the role of macrophages in excitotoxicity and in their response to oxidative stress. 相似文献
