Somatostatin receptor SST5 is an inhibitory G protein-coupled receptor that exerts a strong cytostatic effect on various cell types. We reported previously that the SST5 anti-proliferative effect results in the inhibition of mitogen-induced increases in intracellular cGMP levels and MAPK activity. This study was conducted to define the early molecular events accountable for the SST5-mediated anti-proliferative effect. Here, we demonstrate that, in Chinese hamster ovary cells expressing SST5 (CHO/SST5 cells), somatostatin inhibited cell proliferation induced by nitric oxide donors and overexpression of the neuronal nitric-oxide synthase (nNOS) protein isoform. Accordingly, nNOS activity and dimerization were strongly inhibited following SST5 activation by the somatostatin analog RC-160. In CHO/SST5 cells, nNOS was dynamically recruited by the SST5 receptor and phosphorylated at tyrosyl residues following RC-160 treatment. RC-160 induced SST5-p60(src) kinase complex formation and subsequent p60(src) kinase activation. Coexpression of an inactive p60(src) kinase mutant with SST5 blocked RC-160-induced nNOS phosphorylation and inactivation and prevented the SST5-mediated anti-proliferative effect. In CHO/SST5 cells, p60(src) kinase associated with nNOS to induce its inactivation by phosphorylation at tyrosyl residues following RC-160 treatment. Using recombinant proteins, we demonstrated that such phosphorylation prevented nNOS homodimerization. Next, surface plasmon resonance and mutation analysis revealed that p60(src) directly associated with nNOS phosphorylated Tyr604. SST5-mediated inhibition of nNOS activity was demonstrated to be essential to the RC-160 anti-proliferative effect on pancreatic endocrine tumor-derived cells. We therefore identified nNOS as a new p60(src) kinase substrate essential for SST5-mediated anti-proliferative action. 相似文献

sst2 Somatostatin receptor inhibits cell proliferation through Ras-, Rap1-, and B-Raf-dependent ERK2 activation 总被引:9,自引:0,他引:9

The G protein-coupled sst2 somatostatin receptor is a critical negative regulator of cell proliferation. sstII prevents growth factor-induced cell proliferation through activation of the tyrosine phosphatase SHP-1 leading to induction of the cyclin-dependent kinase inhibitor p27Kip1. Here, we investigate the signaling molecules linking sst2 to p27Kip1. In Chinese hamster ovary-DG-44 cells stably expressing sst2 (CHO/sst2), the somatostatin analogue RC-160 transiently stimulates ERK2 activity and potentiates insulin-stimulated ERK2 activity. RC-160 also stimulates ERK2 activity in pancreatic acini isolated from normal mice, which endogenously express sst2, but has no effect in pancreatic acini derived from sst2 knock-out mice. RC-160-induced p27Kip1 up-regulation and inhibition of insulin-dependent cell proliferation are both prevented by pretreatment of CHO/sst2 cells with the MEK1/2 inhibitor PD98059. In addition, using dominant negative mutants, we show that sst2-mediated ERK2 stimulation is dependent on the pertussis toxin-sensitive Gi/o protein, the tyrosine kinase Src, both small G proteins Ras and Rap1, and the MEK kinase B-Raf but is independent of Raf-1. Phosphatidylinositol 3-kinase (PI3K) and both tyrosine phosphatases, SHP-1 and SHP-2, are required upstream of Ras and Rap1. Taken together, our results identify a novel mechanism whereby a Gi/o protein-coupled receptor inhibits cell proliferation by stimulating ERK signaling via a SHP-1-SHP-2-PI3K/Ras-Rap1/B-Raf/MEK pathway. 相似文献

The effects of somatostatin-14 and its biologically active analogs, RC-160 and SMS 201-995, on (Ca,Mg)ATPase activity in vitro were studied in homogenates of anterior pituitary cells. It was found that somatostatin inhibited the (Ca,Mg)ATPase activity in the anterior pituitary and somatostatin analogs exerted slight biphasic effects on the calcium pump activity. The effects of specific brain (Ca,Mg)ATPase inhibitors, VOSO4 and LaCl3, were also studied in vitro. Neither VOSO4 nor LaCl3 enhance the inhibition of calcium pump activity caused by somatostatin. It is suggested that somatostatin may mediate its action in pituitary cells, among others, by the regulation of (Ca,Mg)ATPase activity. 相似文献

Activation of the somatostatin receptor sst2 inhibits cell proliferation by a mechanism involving the stimulation of the protein-tyrosine phosphatase SHP-1. The cell cycle regulatory events leading to sst2-mediated growth arrest are not known. Here, we report that treatment of Chinese hamster ovary cells expressing sst2 with the somatostatin analogue, RC-160, led to G1 cell cycle arrest and inhibition of insulin-induced S-phase entry through induction of the cyclin-dependent kinase inhibitor p27(Kip1). Consequently, a decrease of p27(Kip1)-cdk2 association, an inhibition of insulin-induced cyclin E-cdk2 kinase activity, and an accumulation of hypophosphorylated retinoblastoma gene product (Rb) were observed. However, RC-160 had no effect on the p21(Waf1/Cip1). When sst2 was coexpressed with a catalytically inactive mutant SHP-1 in Chinese hamster ovary cells, mutant SHP-1 induced entry into cell cycle and down-regulation of p27(Kip1) and prevented modulation by insulin and RC-160 of p27(Kip1) expression, p27(Kip1)-cdk2 association, cyclin E-cdk2 kinase activity, and the phosphorylation state of Rb. In mouse pancreatic acini, RC-160 reverted down-regulation of p27(Kip1) induced by a mitogen, and this effect did not occur in acini from viable motheaten (mev/mev) mice expressing a mutant SHP-1 with markedly deficient enzymes. These findings provide the first evidence that sst2 induces cell cycle arrest through the up-regulation of p27(Kip1) and demonstrate that SHP-1 is required for maintaining high inhibitory levels of p27(Kip1) and is a critical target of the insulin, and somatostatin signaling cascade, leading to the modulation of p27(Kip1). 相似文献

The fibroblast growth factor (FGF)-2 isoform of 210 amino acids (HMW FGF-2) contains a nuclear localization sequence (NLS) and is targeted to the nucleus. This FGF-2 isoform allows cells to grow in low serum concentrations through still unknown mechanisms called intracrine regulations. Different peptide hormones and cytokines have been found to be nuclearized through NLS and to induce cell proliferation. The existence of molecules acting as negative regulators of the intracrine-induced cell growth has not been explored. Pancreatic cells AR4-2J were stably transfected to express selectively the HMW FGF-2. We demonstrated that activation of the somatostatin receptor subtype SST2 by the somatostatin analogue RC-160 in serum-deprived medium inhibits the mitogenic effect of the HMW FGF-2, without affecting growth of control cells. The signaling pathway implicates Galphai/JAK2/SHP-1. The Galphai inhibitor pertussis toxin and the JAK2 inhibitor AG490 abrogate the inhibitory effect of RC-160 on HMW FGF-2-induced cell growth. Co-immunoprecipitation studies demonstrate the constitutive association of JAK2 and SHP-1, and RC-160 induces a rapid activation of both proteins followed by the dissociation of the complex. AG490 prevents the RC-160 induced SHP-1 activation indicating the implication of JAK2 in this process. JAK2 and SHP-1 are immunoprecipitated with SST2 in basal conditions indicating the existence of a functional signaling complex at the receptor level. In summary, these data provide the following evidence: 1) the intracrine-induced proliferation can be reversed by extracellular acting polypeptides; 2) SST2 inhibitory signaling may involve the JAK2/SHP-1 pathway. 相似文献

Specific receptors for bombesin/gastrin-releasing peptide, somatostatin, and EGF were investigated in 15 human colon cancer specimens. Eight of 15 clinical specimens (15%) of colon cancer showed the presence of somatostatin receptors. Octapeptide somatostatin analogs, RC-160 and RC-121, showed 10 times higher binding affinity for somatostatin receptors on colon cancer membranes than somatostatin. Analysis of 125I-Tyr4-bombesin binding data revealed the presence of specific binding sites in six (40%) specimens of human colon cancer. Scatchard analysis of 125I-labeled bombesin indicated a single class of receptors in three specimens with an apparent Kd value of 2.5 nM and two classes of receptors with high (Kd = 0.4 +/- 0.2 nM) and low affinity (Kd = 1.6 +/- 0.4 microM) in three other specimens. The 125I-Tyr4-bombesin binding capacities in the colon cancers for high affinity binding sites were from 6 to 228 fmol/mg protein and for low affinity binding sites 76 +/- 15 pmol/mg protein. None of the membrane preparations made from normal colonic mucosa specimens showed specific binding for 125I-Tyr4-bombesin. Five pseudononapeptide (psi 13-14) bombesin (6-14) antagonists, with different modifications at Positions 6 and 14, synthesized in our laboratory, inhibited the binding of 125I-Tyr4-bombesin in nanomolar concentrations. No correlation was found between the degree of differentiation and the presence of binding sites for somatostatin or bombesin. Specific binding of EGF was detected in 80% of colon cancer specimens. EGF binding capacity in colon cancer membranes was on average twice as high as in normal colon mucosa (50 +/- 21 vs 28 +/- 14 fmol/mg protein, respectively). Specific binding sites for somatostatin and EGF, but not bombesin, were also demonstrated in human colon cancer cell line HT-29. In HCT-116 colon cancer line only EGF receptors were found. These receptor findings and our in vivo studies on inhibition of colon cancer growth support the merit of continued evaluation of somatostatin analogs and bombesin/gastrin-releasing peptide antagonists in the management of colonic carcinoma. 相似文献

The effects on pancreatic responses of highly potent cyclic hexapeptide (cyclo (N-Me-Ala-Phe-D-Trp-Lys-Thr-Phe)) (Veber analog) and octapeptide analogs of somatostatin such as D-Phe-Cys-Phe-D-Trp-Lys-Thr-Cys-Thr-ol (SMS 201-995), D-Phe-Cys-Tyr-D-Trp-Lys-Val-Cys-Thr-NH2 (RC-121), and D-Phe-Cys-Tyr-D-Trp-Lys-Val-Cys-Trp-NH2 (RC-160) have been compared with somatostatin tetradecapeptide (SS-14) and atropine. The parameters evaluated were pancreatic responses to secretin and meat feeding in conscious dogs with chronic pancreatic fistula and amylase release from the dispersed pancreatic acini. The analogs were administered intravenously or intraduodenally. The cyclic hexapeptide and octapeptide analogs, given iv in graded doses against a constant background stimulation with secretin, produced similar and dose-dependent inhibition of pancreatic HCO3- and protein secretion. Analogs RC-121, RC-160, and the Veber analog were about two to four times more active than SS-14 in suppressing HCO3- secretion and equipotent in reducing protein secretion, but SMS 201-995 was only about half as potent as somatostatin in inhibiting HCO3-. RC-160 was effective in inhibiting secretin-induced protein secretion at lower doses than other analogs. In tests with feeding, SMS 201-995, the Veber analog, RC-121, and RC-160 were more potent inhibitors of exocrine pancreatic secretion of HCO3- and protein and exhibited more prolonged inhibitory effects than SS-14. The Veber analog, RC-121, and RC-160 were also more effective after intraduodenal administration. Atropine also caused significant inhibition of both HCO3- and protein responses to secretin and meal feeding. All four analogs decreased the postprandial insulin and pancreatic polypeptide release to a similar degree as SS-14. Neither SS-14 nor the analogs tested significantly affected basal or caerulein-, gastrin-, secretin-, or bethanechol-stimulated amylase release from the dispersed canine pancreatic acini. Atropine reduced amylase release induced by bethanechol, but not that stimulated by caerulein, gastrin, or secretin. This indicated that the analogs, as somatostatin, are ineffective as secretory inhibitors in vitro. We conclude that cyclic hexapeptide and octapeptide analogs are more potent and longer acting inhibitors of pancreatic secretion than somatostatin-14 in vivo. 相似文献

Several somatostatin analogs with recently synthesized acetylated N terminus were assayed in vivo for their effects on sodium pentobarbital-stimulated growth hormone (GH) levels in fed male rats and gastrin-releasing peptide (14-27)-stimulated gastrin levels in fasted male rats. The binding characteristics of these analogs to somatostatin receptors were also examined in various human tumors and normal tissues. The analog RC-101-I, injected at a dose of 0.1 micrograms/100 g body wt, significantly suppressed GH release (P less than 0.01) for at least 2 hr. Analog RC-160-II caused the longest inhibition of GH release, greater than that induced by nonacetylated parent analog RC-160, with GH levels showing significant suppression (P less than 0.01) for more than 3 hr. Analogs RC-160-II and RC-101-I and RC-160, injected at a dose of 1.0 micrograms/100 g body wt, significantly (P less than 0.01) suppressed gastrin-releasing peptide (14-27)-stimulated serum gastrin. Analog RC-101-I was active in this test at a dose of 0.1 micrograms/100 g body wt. RC-160-II showed significant binding to somatostatin-14 receptors in all investigated tissues (human colon, human colon cancer, breast cancer, human pancreas and pancreatic cancer, human prostate and prostate cancer, and rat cerebral cortex), but there were marked variations in binding affinities among various normal and cancerous tissues. The highest affinity was found in membranes of colon cancer (Ka = 18.4 nM-1) and breast cancer (Ka = 12.46 nM-1). The binding affinity of RC-160-II to somatostatin receptors in membranes of the breast cancer was similar to that of RC-160. RC-101-I showed higher binding affinity to somatostatin-14 receptors than RC-160 in human breast, pancreatic, and prostate cancer. With the exception of breast cancer tissue, the binding affinity of RC-101-I was significantly lower than that of RC-160-II in membranes of all investigated tissues. It can be concluded that acetylated somatostatin analogs RC-101-I and RC-160-II possess prolonged and enhanced biological activities in suppressing serum GH and gastrin in rats. Significant variations in binding affinities for these analogs in different tissues and various tumors suggest that differences may exist between somatostatin receptors in normal versus malignant tissues. This raises the possibility that some of these analogs could be used more selectively in the treatment of various neoplasms. 相似文献

Antitumor effects of analogs of LH-RH and somatostatin: Experimental and clinical studies 总被引:4,自引:0,他引:4

Many clinical approaches for the treatment of hormone-sensitive tumors are being developed based on analogs of LH-RH and somatostatin. Inhibition of the pituitary-gonadal axis forms the basis for oncological applications of LH-RH agonists like [
-Trp6]-LH-RH and new LH-RH antagonists free of edematogenic effects such as [Ac-
-Nal(2)1-
-Phe(4Cl)2-
-Pal(3)3,
-Cit6,
-Ala10]-LH-RH (SB-75). Agonists and antagonists of LH-RH have been used in patients with prostate cancer and might be also beneficial for the treatment of breast cancer and ovarian, endometrial and pancreatic carcinomas. Some of the effects of LH-RH analogs can be due to direct action since LH-RH receptors have been found in these cancers. The use of sustained delivery systems based on microcapsules of PLG, makes the treatment more efficacious. Octaeptide analogs of somatostatin such as
-P
s-Trp-NH2 (RC-160) and related analogs were designed specifically for antitumor activity. These somatostatin analogs, by virtue of having a wide spectrum of activities appear to inhibit various tumors through multiple mechanisms. Direct antiproliferative actions of somatostatin analogs appear to be mediated by specific receptors located on tumor cells. High affinity binding sites for RC-160 and related analogs have been found in human pancreatic, prostate, breast and ovarian cancers and brain tumors such as meningiomas. In vivo administration of analog RC-160 inhibits the growth of Dunning R-3327 prostate cancers in rats, MXT mammary tumors in mice and BOP-induced ductal pancreatic cancers in hamsters. Combination of microcapsules of RC-160 with [
-Trp6]-LH-RH results in synergistic potentiation of the inhibition of these cancers. Somatostatin analog RC-160 and LH-RH antagonist SB-75 are the object of further experimental studies and clinical trials aimed at the exploration of their inhibitory effects on the processes of malignant growth. 相似文献

Plant-derived molecules showing antineoplastic effects have recently gained increased attention as potential adjuvants to traditional therapies for various cancers. Cerrado biome in Brazil contains high floral biodiversity, but knowledge about the potential therapeutic effects of compounds derived from that flora is still limited. The present study investigated the antineoplastic activity of Erythroxylum daphnites Mart., a Brazilian native plant from Cerrado biome, in the SCC-9 oral squamous cell carcinoma cell line. Cells were treated with various concentrations of hexane extract of Erythroxylum daphnites leaves (EDH) and assessed for cytotoxicity, proliferation, and apoptosis. Thin layer chromatography was conducted to characterize the substances present in EDH. Our results showed that EDH exerted anti-proliferative effects in SCC-9 cells by stabilizing the cell cycle at G1 phase in association with reduced intracellular levels of cyclins D and E and increased level of p21. EDH also demonstrated pro-apoptotic properties, as shown by an increased expression of caspase-3. Triterpenes were the major constituents of EDH. Our findings demonstrated a cytotoxic effect of EDH against SCC-9 cells in vitro mediated by the restraint of cellular proliferation and induction of apoptosis. Taken together, these findings support EDH constituents as potential therapeutic adjuvants for oral cancer. 相似文献

The effects of several superactive analogs of somatostatin on gastric acid response to various exogenous and endogenous stimulants were investigated in conscious dogs and rats with gastric fistulae (GF). The inhibition was compared to that induced by somatostatin-14 (S-S-14) at two dose levels. Several octapeptide analogs of somatostatin including D-Phe-Cys-Tyr-D-Trp-Lys-Val-Cys-Trp-NH2 (RC-160) and D-Phe-Cys-Tyr-D-Trp-Lys-Val-Cys-Thr-NH2 (RC-121), which were superactive in tests on suppression of GH levels, were 4-5 times more potent than S-S-14 in inhibiting desglugastrin-stimulated gastric acid secretion in GF dogs. The analog RC-160 also reduced the rise in serum gastrin levels and gastric acid secretion induced by sham feeding (SF) in dogs with gastric and esophageal fistulae (EF), but did not decrease food consumption. Gastric acid secretion induced by histamine (80 micrograms/kg/h) in dogs was not affected by 1-5 micrograms/kg/h of analog RC-121 or by 5 micrograms/kg/h of S-S-14. Analogs RC-160, RC-121, and RC-98-I (D-Trp-Cys-Phe-D-Trp-Lys-Thr-Cys-Thr-NH2) and others also powerfully inhibited desglugastrin-induced potent as S-S-14 in dogs but its activity was higher in rats. The results indicate that octapeptide analogs which are superactive in GH-inhibition tests are also more potent than S-S-14 in suppressing gastric acid secretion. These findings may be of clinical value. 相似文献

Interleukin-18 (IL-18), a proinflammatory cytokine, is produced by oral epithelia and carcinoma cells and implicated in tumor regression. Since its direct biological effect on oral cancer cells is not well defined, in this study, we employed a KB cell line to test IL-18 activity. Recombinant human IL-18 significantly inhibited KB cell proliferation in a dose-dependent fashion (P < .05) without increasing cytotoxicity. Analysis of its mode of action showed that IL-18 induced cell cycle arrest in the S phase; however, it did not trigger apoptotic cell death. Findings in this study indicate that the suppression of KB cell proliferation was attributed to the modulation of cell cycle progression, providing a new role of this cytokine in antitumor mechanisms. 相似文献

Curcumin, an ingredient of turmeric, exhibits a variety of biological activities such as anti-inflammatory, anti-atherosclerotic, anti-proliferative, anti-oxidant, anti-cancer and anti-metastatic. It is a highly pleiotropic molecule that inhibits cell proliferation and induces apoptosis in cancer cells. Despite its imperative biological activities, chemical instability, photo-instability and poor bioavailability limits its utilization as an effective therapeutic agent. Therefore, enhancing the bioavailability of curcumin may improve its therapeutic index for clinical setting. In the present study, we have conjugated curcumin with a biodegradable polymer Poly (D, L-lactic-co-glycolic acid) and evaluated its apoptotic potential in human colon carcinoma cells (HCT 116). The results show that curcumin-PLGA conjugate efficiently inhibits cell proliferation and cell survival in human colon carcinoma cells as compared to native curcumin. Additionally, curcumin conjugated with PLGA shows improved cellular uptake and exhibits controlled release at physiological pH as compared to native curcumin. The curcumin-PLGA conjugate efficiently activates the cascade of caspases and promotes intrinsic apoptotic signaling. Thus, the results suggest that conjugation potentiates the sustainability, anti-proliferative and apoptotic activity of curcumin. This approach could be a promising strategy to improve the therapeutic index of cancer therapy. 相似文献

The action of coffee on the proliferation and invasion of a rat ascites hepatoma cell line of AH109A was investigated using
in vitro and ex vivo assay systems. When rats were given oral intubation of instant coffee powder solution, the sera of those
rats had the potent inhibitory activity on both the proliferation and invasion of AH109A. The activity of rat serum was both
time- and dose-dependent. The instant coffee powder also inhibited the proliferation and invasion of AH109A in vitro. These
results indicate that coffee has anti-proliferative and anti-invasive activity both in vitro and ex vivo. They also suggest
that some anti-proliferative and anti-invasive material(s), which may be the ingredient(s) of coffee or their metabolites,
appear in rat serum when rats are given oral intubation of coffee, although a possibility that host defense systems may be
activated by the oral intubation of coffee cannot be ruled out.

Gangliosides have been described as modulators of growth factor receptor activity and subsequent cellular function. Due to the lower-pH environment found in tumor cells, ganglosides are thought to be formed (at least to some extent) into their lactone forms. The aim of the study was to analyze the mode of action of the lactone of the ganglioside GM3 on epidermal growth factor (EGF) signaling in human ovarial epidermoid carcinoma A431 cells and cell growth in human oral epidermoid carcinoma KB cells by applying the GM3 lactone analog HK1-ceramide 2, which is stable under hydrolytic conditions. Specific inhibition of EGF-dependent receptor tyrosine phosphorylation was observed by HK1-ceramide 2 at 25 microM, whereas GM3 showed a comparable inhibition at eightfold higher concentrations. In cells exposed to low pH, where GM3 is thought to form its lactone to a higher extent, addition of GM3 showed no further inhibitory effect on EGF-dependent receptor phosphorylation. Similarly to GM3, HK1-ceramide 2 does not affect binding of (125)I-EGF to the cell surface receptor. EGF-dependent growth of KB cells was also found to be inhibited by HK1-ceramide 2 at much lower concentrations compared to GM3. In conclusion, our results indicate that the GM3 lactone analog HK1-ceramide 2 is a specific inhibitor of EGF receptor function and is more potent in reducing EGF-dependent tyrosine phosphorylation of the receptor in A431 cells and in inhibiting EGF-dependent growth of KB cells compared to GM3. 相似文献

We have demonstrated that interferon-alpha2-recombinant (IFNalpha) at growth inhibitory concentrations enhances the expression and signalling activity of the epidermal growth factor receptor (EGF-R) in human epidermoid carcinoma KB cells. Here we report that KB cells exposed to IFNalpha underwent apoptotic cell death and this effect was antagonized by EGF. We have also found that IFNalpha enhanced the expression of heat shock proteins (HSP) HSP-70, HSP-90 and HSP-27 and activated the NH2-terminal Jun kinase-1 (JNK-1) and p38 mitogen activated protein kinase, the target enzymes of a stress-dependent intracellular transduction pathway. Moreover, the overexpression of the wild-type JNK-1, obtained through plasmid transfection of KB cells, induced apoptosis which was potentiated by the exposure of wild-type JNK-1 (JNK-1wt)-transfected cells to IFNalpha. All these effects were neutralized by the addition of EGF to parental and JNK-1wt-transfected KB cells exposed to IFNalpha. In conclusion, EGF has a protective effect on KB cells from apoptosis while antagonizing a stress response elicited by IFNalpha and targeted on the stress pathway terminal kinases. 相似文献

The mechanisms regulating the balance between intestinal epithelial cell proliferation and differentiation are essential to maintaining an intact mucosal barrier. Mitogen-activated protein (MAP) kinases appear to be key transducers of extracellular signals in these pathways. The goal of this study was to investigate the regulation of MAP kinase by tumor necrosis factor alpha (TNFalpha) and epidermal growth factor (EGF) in intestinal epithelial cells. The young adult mouse colon cell line was studied for TNFalpha and/or EGF regulation of MAP kinase in the presence or absence of the MAP kinase kinase (MEK1) inhibitor PD 98059. Proliferation was determined by hemocytometry, and activated MAP kinase was identified by Western blot analysis, in vitro kinase assay, and confocal laser immunofluorescent microscopy. TNFalpha stimulated sustained nuclear MAP kinase activity, while EGF stimulated transient cytoplasmic MAP kinase activity. Changing TNFalpha's sustained MAP kinase activation to transient converted TNFalpha from an anti-proliferative to a proliferative ligand. These findings demonstrate that both TNFalpha and EGF activate MAP kinase in intestinal epithelial cells. The kinetics and subcellular distribution of this enzyme activity may be pivotal in the transduction of divergent cellular responses in the intestinal epithelium with implications for altered proliferative signals in inflammatory bowel disease. 相似文献

Superactive somatostatin analog decreases plasma glucose and glucagon levels in diabetic rats 总被引:1,自引:0,他引:1
The action of the new analog of somatostatin, D-Phe-Cys-Tyr-D-Trp-Lys-Val-Cys-Trp-NH2 (RC-160), on plasma glucagon and glucose levels was evaluated in streptozotocin-diabetic rats. The effect of this analog on the insulin-induced hypoglycemia in diabetic rats was also investigated in order to evaluate the risk of exacerbating hypoglycemia. Administration of analog RC-160, in a dose of 25 micrograms/kg b. wt. SC, inhibited plasma glucagon secretion and decreased plasma glucose levels. This effect also occurred when plasma glucagon and glucose levels were first elevated by arginine infusion, 1000 mg/kg/hr for 30 min. Subcutaneous injection of regular insulin, 15 U/kg b. wt., produced hypoglycemia with a progressive increase in glucagon levels. Analog RC-160 completely suppressed the hypoglycemia-induced glucagon release for up to 150 min after injection of the analog or insulin. A greater decrease in the plasma glucose level was observed in the group treated with insulin and the analog than in the group injected only with insulin. These results indicate that somatostatin analog RC-160 can produce a marked and prolonged inhibition of glucagon release and a decrease in the plasma glucose level in diabetic rats. This analog may be useful as an adjunct to insulin in the treatment of diabetic patients, although caution should be exercised, to prevent hypoglycemia when using somatostatin analogs together with insulin. 相似文献

Clusterin is a ubiquitous secretory glycoprotein that is known to suppress certain forms of apoptosis. Since apoptosis and proliferation are two opposing cellular events, it remains unclear if clusterin has any effect on cellular proliferation. The objective of the present study was to examine the effects of clusterin on proliferation in a prostate cancer cell line, LNCaP. We found that clusterin inhibited EGF-mediated proliferation in these cells, as measured by (3)H-thymidine incorporation and by cell counting. Clusterin did not bind with EGF nor did it block phosphorylation of the EGF receptor. Treatment of LNCaP cells with EGF resulted in a transient increase in the expression of both c-Fos and c-Jun. Addition of clusterin to these cultures significantly down-regulated the protein level of c-Fos, but not c-Jun. These results demonstrated a novel biological role for clusterin. Clusterin is not only anti-apoptotic but also anti-proliferative. The anti-proliferative event maybe associated with a down-regulation of c-Fos. 相似文献
