Although it was originally proposed that the major role of calbindin is to facilitate the vitamin D dependent movement of calcium through the cytosolic compartment of the intestinal or renal cell, we found that calbindin also has a major role in different cell types in protecting against apoptotic cell death. Calbindin, which buffers calcium, can inhibit apoptosis induced by different proapoptotic stimuli. Expression of calbindin-D(28k) in neural cell suppressed the proapoptotic actions of presenilin-1, which is causally linked to familial Alzheimer's disease, by preventing calcium mediated mitochondrial damage and the subsequent release of cytochrome c. Calbindin, by buffering intracellular calcium can also protect HEK 293 kidney cells from parathyroid hormone induced apoptosis that was found to be mediated by a phospholipase C dependent increase in intracellular calcium. In addition, cytokine mediated destruction of pancreatic beta cells can be prevented by calbindin. Induction by cytokines of nitric oxide, peroxynitrite and lipid hydroperoxide production was significantly decreased in calbindin expressing beta cells. Thus, calbindin-D(28k), by inhibiting free radical formation, can protect islet beta cells from autoimmune destruction in type 1 diabetes. Calbindin-D(28k) can also protect against apoptosis in bone cells. Calbindin was found to block apoptosis in osteocytic and osteoblastic cells. Our findings suggest that calbindin is capable of directly inhibiting the activity of caspase-3, a common downstream effector of multiple apoptotic signaling pathways, and that this inhibition results in an inhibition of tumor necrosis factor (TNFalpha) and glucocorticoid induced apoptosis in bone cells. Thus, while part of calbindin's protective effect may result from buffering rises in intracellular calcium, other mechanisms of action, such as inhibition of caspase activity, also play a significant role in the prevention of apoptosis by calbindin-D(28k). These findings have implications for the prevention of degeneration in different cell types and therefore could prove important for the therapeutic intervention of many diseases, including diabetes and osteoporosis. 相似文献

The regulation of apoptosis involves a complicated cascade requiring numerous protein interactions including the pro-apoptotic executioner protein caspase-3 and the anti-apoptotic calcium-binding protein calbindin-D28K. Using isothermal titration calorimetry, we show that calbindin-D28K binds caspase-3 in a Ca2+-dependent fashion. Molecular docking and conformational sampling studies of the Ca2+-loaded capase-3/calbindin-D28K interaction were performed in order to isolate potentially crucial intermolecular contacts. Residues in the active site loops of caspase-3 and EF-hands 1 and 2 of calbindin-D28K were shown to be critical to the interaction. Based on these studies, a model is proposed to help understand how calbindin-D28K may deactivate caspase-3 upon binding.

Previous studies have shown that mouse osteoblastic MC3T3-E1 cells undergo apoptosis when exposed to a mixture of proinflammatory cytokines. Bone morphogenetic protein (BMP)s are important regulators of osteoblast differentiation. Because regulation of osteoblastic differentiation is poorly understood, we sought to determine if BMP-4-induced differentiation of osteoblastic cells depends on the activity of the key apoptotic proteases, i.e. the caspases. BMP-4 induced the growth arrest and differentiation of osteoblastic cell line MC3T3-E1, as evidenced by the appearance of osteoblastic phenotypes such as alkaline phosphatase (ALP) activation and parathyroid hormone (PTH)-dependent production of cAMP. Surprisingly, BMP-4 induced transient and potent activation of caspase-8, caspase-2, and caspase-3, in this order. However, no apoptosis or necrosis in BMP-4-treated cells could be detected by FACS using annexin-V/propodium iodine double staining. Peptide inhibition of caspase activity led to a dramatic reduction in ALP activation and PTH-induced production of cAMP in BMP-4-treated cells. Although BMP-4 treatment resulted in cell-cycle G0/G1 arrest as detected by FACS cell-cycle analysis, caspase inhibitors (caspase-8, caspase-2, and caspase-3 inhibitors) could block the G0/G1 arrest in MC3T3-E1 cells. Taken together, these results confirm a unique and unanticipated role for the caspase-mediated signal cascade in the differentiation of osteoblasts. 相似文献

Cadmium is a well known environmental toxicant and carcinogen. To identify proteins involved in cellular adaptive responses to cadmium, we established cadmium-adapted U937 cells that exhibit resistance to cadmium-induced apoptosis, and we performed comparative proteome analysis of these cells with parental cells that were either untreated or treated with cadmium. Newly identified proteins that were changed in expression level in both adapted cells and cadmium-treated parental cells included proteins implicated in cell proliferation and malignant transformation. Most interesting, a calcium-binding protein calbindin-D(28k) was increased only in the adapted cells but not in cadmium-exposed parental cells. The level of calbindin-D(28k) increased by the degree of cadmium adaptation and was stably maintained without selective pressure of cadmium. Cadmium-adapted U937 cells were resistant to the toxic effects of cytosolic calcium rise by cadmium treatment and by depletion of intracellular calcium stores, suggesting that enhanced calcium buffering by up-regulated calbindin-D(28k) may be responsible for acquiring resistance to cadmium-induced apoptosis. We demonstrated that overexpression of calbindin-D(28k) in MN9D neuronal cells resulted in reduced cadmium-induced apoptosis. Our study documents for the first time that cells respond to long term cadmium exposure by increasing calbindin-D(28k) expression, thereby attenuating cadmium-induced apoptosis. 相似文献

<Emphasis Type="SmallCaps">l</Emphasis>-Carnitine protects against apoptosis of murine MC3T3-E1 osteoblastic cells 总被引:3,自引:0,他引:3
L-carnitine (LC), an amino acid with a major role in cellular energy metabolism, has positive effects on bone metabolism. However, the effect of LC on apoptosis of osteoblast in vitro has not been reported. The aim of this study was to investigate the action of LC on apoptosis of mouse osteoblastic cell line MC3T3-E1. Cell apoptosis was measured by sandwich-enzyme-immunoassay. Release of cytochrome c from mitochondria into cytosol and Bcl-2, Bax protein levels were determined by Western blot analysis. The enzyme substrate was used to assess the activation of caspase-3 and caspase-9. LC inhibited MC3T3-E1 cell apoptosis induced by serum deprivation. Our study also shows that LC decreased cytochrome c release and caspase-3 and caspase-9 activation in serum-deprived MC3T3-E1 cells. Furthermore, LC protected against MC3T3-E1 cell apoptosis induced by the glucocorticoid (GC) dexamethasone (Dex). 相似文献

Effect of calbindin-D28K on cyclosporine toxicity in cultured renal proximal tubular cells 总被引:3,自引:0,他引:3
Cyclosporine A (CsA) is known to have direct toxicity to renal tubular cells. Its toxicity may be mediated by intracellular calcium because CsA increases intracellular calcium concentration and enhances the activities of calcium-dependent calpains and caspases. Calbindin-D28k, a cytosolic calcium binding protein, has been used as an intracellular Ca2+ buffer to reduce calcium-mediated cytotoxicity in non-renal cells such as neuronal cells. We investigated the effects of gene transfer of calbindin-D28k cDNA on CsA cytotoxicity and intracellular calcium concentration ([Ca2+]i) in cultured murine proximal tubular (MCT) cells. A plasmid containing calbindin-D28k cDNA under the control of CMV promoter was transfected to MCT cells with liposomes. Cytotoxicity was assessed by LDH release and cell viability assay, and [Ca2+]i was measured ratiometrically with fura-2. Compared with MCT cells, cells transfected with calbindin-D28k cDNA showed a reduction in LDH release by 27, 30, 32, 33, and 19% (all P < 0.05), respectively, after 24 h exposure to 1, 2.5, 5, 10, and 25 microM CsA. Cell viability after CsA treatment was also significantly higher in CB cells. A mock transfection using plasmid without calbindin-D28k cDNA insert did not affect the LDH release or cell viability after CsA treatment. CsA treatment did not affect the protein and mRNA abundance of transfected calbindin-D28k cDNA. The expression of calbindin-D28k did not affect the baseline [Ca2+]i, but significantly suppressed CsA-induced elevation in [Ca2+]i. The expression of calbindin-D28k in renal tubular cells provides cytoprotective effects against CsA toxicity, probably through its buffering effects on [Ca2+]i. 相似文献

The aim of this study was to investigate the effects of apelin on proliferation and apoptosis of mouse osteoblastic MC3T3-E1 cells. APJ was expressed in MC3T3-E1 cells. Apelin did not affect Runx2 expression, alkaline phosphatase (ALP) activity, osteocalcin and type I collagen secretion, suggesting that it has no effect on osteoblastic differentiation of MC3T3-E1 cells. However, apelin stimulated MC3T3-E1 cell proliferation and inhibited cell apoptosis induced by serum deprivation. Our study also shows that apelin decreased cytochrome c release and caspase-3, capase-8 and caspase-9 activation in serum-deprived MC3T3-E1 cells. Apelin activated c-Jun N-terminal kinase (JNK) and Akt (phosphatidylinositol 3-kinase downstream effector), and the JNK inhibitor SP600125, the phosphatidylinositol 3-kinase (PI3-K) inhibitor LY294002 or the Akt inhibitor 1L-6-hydroxymethyl-chiro-inositol 2-(R)-2-O-methyl-3-O-octadecylcarbonate (HIMO) inhibited its effects on proliferation and serum deprivation-induced apoptosis. Furthermore, apelin protected against apoptosis induced by the glucocorticoid dexamethasone or TNF-alpha. Apelin stimulates proliferation and suppresses serum deprivation-induced apoptosis of MC3T3-E1 cells and these actions are mediated via JNK and PI3-K/Akt signaling pathways. 相似文献

Cytoprotective effects of calbindin-D(28k) against antimycin-A induced hypoxic injury in proximal tubular cells 总被引:2,自引:0,他引:2
Intracellular calcium plays an important role on the pathogenesis of hypoxia-induced cellular injury. Calbindin-D(28k), a cytosolic vitamin D-dependent calcium binding protein, can serve as a buffer to limit a surge in intracellular Ca2+ concentration ([Ca2+]i) induced by various stimulations. To evaluate the possible cytoprotective effect of calbindin-D(28k) against hypoxic injury in proximal tubular cells, a plasmid containing calbindin-D(28k) cDNA under the control of CMV immediate-early gene promoter was transfected into the murine proximal tubular epithelial (MCT) cells. The expression of calbindin-D(28k) in the transfected cells was verified with Northern blot analysis, Western blot analysis, and immunofluorescent staining. The non-transfected and transfected MCT cells were subjected to chemical hypoxia induced by antimycin A (10 microM) and glucose deprivation for 30-120 min. The transfection of calbindin-D(28k) reduced lactate dehydrogenase (LDH) release by 41%, 41%, 24%, and 24%, respectively, at 30, 60, 90 and 120 min after hypoxia when compared to the non-transfected cells (all p < 0.05). Cell viability after hypoxic injury was also significantly higher in transfected cells than non-transfected cells. Transfection with the plasmid without calbindin-D(28k) cDNA did not affect LDH release or cell viability after chemical hypoxic injury. [Ca+2]i was measured ratiometrically with fura-2 after exposure to chemical hypoxia. The rate of initial rise in [Ca2+]i and final [Ca+2]i at 30-120 min were significantly lowered in transfected cells. In conclusion, this study demonstrated that transfection of calbindin-D(28k) gene into MCT cells provide protective effects against chemical hypoxic injury probably through its buffering effects on [Ca+2]i. 相似文献

Calbindin-D28K protects against apoptotic and necrotic cell death; these effects have been attributed to its ability to buffer calcium. In this study, we investigated the mechanisms underlying the neuroprotective effects of calbindin-D28K in staurosporine (STS)-induced apoptosis and 1-methyl-4-phenylpyridinium (MPP+)-induced necrosis. Treatment of the dopaminergic neuronal cell line MN9D with STS or MPP+ induced cell death that was associated with increased levels of free intracellular calcium. However, only MPP+-induced death was inhibited by co-treatment of the cells with a calcium chelator or a sodium/calcium antiporter inhibitor. Overexpression of calbindin-D28K prevented MPP+-induced MN9D cell death, which occurs in the absence of any detectable caspase activation. These pro-survival effects of calbindin-D28K were associated with the inhibition of calcium-mediated calpain activation, as determined by processing of Bax. Overexpression of calbindin-D28K also blocked STS-induced MN9D death. However, this effect was accompanied by the inhibition of capase-3 cleavage, poly(ADP-ribose)polymerase cleavage, and caspase activity. These findings suggest that calbindin-D28K protects against both types of cell death by inhibiting caspase- or calcium-mediated death signaling pathway. 相似文献

Neuronal systems for calcium homeostasis are crucial for neuronal development and function and may also contribute to selective neuronal vulnerability in adverse conditions such as exposure to excitatory amino acids or anoxia, and in neurodegenerative diseases. Previous work demonstrated the presence and differential distribution of calcium-binding proteins in the CNS. We now report that a subpopulation of neurons in dissociated cell cultures of embryonic rat hippocampus expresses calbindin-D28k (Mr 28,000 calcium-binding protein) immunoreactivity and that these neurons are relatively resistant to neurotoxicity induced by either glutamate or calcium ionophore. Direct comparisons of dynamic aspects of intracellular calcium levels and calbindin-D28k immunoreactivity in the same neurons revealed that calbindin-D28k-positive neurons were better able to reduce free intracellular calcium levels than calbindin-D28k-negative neurons. These findings indicate that the differential expression of calbindin-D28k in hippocampal neurons occurs early in development and may be one determinant of selective neuronal vulnerability to excitotoxic insults. 相似文献

Progesterone (P) has been suggested as a bone-trophic hormone. Previous studies have shown that P promoted bone formation
by stimulating the proliferation and differentiation of osteoblasts. But, the effect of P on apoptosis of osteoblast in vitro
has not been reported. We propose that P may promote bone formation by suppressing the apoptosis of osteoblast. The present
study was performed to investigate the effect of P on apoptosis of murine MC3T3-E1 osteoblastic cells. Cell apoptosis was
measured by acidine orange/ethidium bromide (AO/EB) staining and sandwich-enzyme-immunoassay. Progesterone receptor (PR),
cytochrome c, caspase-9 and caspase-3 protein levels were determined by Western blot analysis. The enzyme substrate was also used to assess
the activation of caspase-3 and caspase-9. Progesterone suppressed MC3T3-E1 cells apoptosis induced by serum deprivation,
and this effect was blocked by a PR antagonist RU486. Furthermore, the suppressive effects of P on cytochrome c release and caspase-9 and caspase-3 activation in serum-deprived MC3T3-E1 cells were also reversed by RU486. Our study demonstrated
that P protects osteoblast against apoptosis through PR and the downstream mitochondrial pathway. Thus, the data suggest that
the effects of P on osteoblast apoptosis may contribute to the mechanisms by which P exerts its action on bone formation. 相似文献

Calbindin-D(28k), acts as a modulator of depolarization induced calcium transients in the pancreatic beta cell. However, specific mechanisms have not been defined. Here we show for the first time that the calcium binding protein calbindin-D(28k) acts by affecting calcium influx through voltage-dependent calcium channels in RIN pancreatic beta cells. Whole-cell patch-clamp recordings revealed that Ca(2+) current amplitudes of calbindin-D(28k) expressing RINr1046-38 beta cells were smaller than the Ca(2+) current amplitudes in control cells in response to depolarizing pulses. The peak current was observed at +20mV and the average amplitude was approximately 50pA in the calbindin expressing cells compared to approximately 250pA in control cells. In calbindin-D(28k) expressing cells, the channels had enhanced sensitivity to Ca(2+) dependent inactivation and currents decayed much more rapidly than in control cells. The Ca(2+) channels affected by calbindin were found to have biophysical properties consistent with dihydropyridine-sensitive L-type calcium channels. In response to depolarizing concentrations of K(+), calbindin expression caused a five-fold decrease in the rate of rise of [Ca(2+)](i) and decay was slower in the calbindin expressing cells. Application of verapamil resulted in a drop in the [Ca(2+)](i) signal to pre-stimulation levels indicating that the Ca(2+) channel responsible for the depolarization evoked Ca(2+) entry, modulated by calbindin, is the L-type. Co-immunoprecipitation and GST pull-down assays indicate that calbindin-D(28k) can interact with the alpha(1) subunit of Ca(v)1.2. We thus conclude that calbindin-D(28k) can regulate calcium influx via L-type calcium channels. Our findings suggest a role for calbindin-D(28k) in the beta cell in modulating Ca(2+) influx via L-type voltage-dependent calcium channels. 相似文献

Glucocorticoids are widely used as anti-inflammatory and chemotherapeutic agents. However, prolonged use of glucocorticoids leads to osteoporosis. This study was designed to examine the mechanism of dexamethasone (DEX)-induced apoptosis in murine osteoblastic MC3T3-E1 cells. Total RNA was extracted from MC3T3-E1 cells treated with 10(-7) M DEX for 6 h. DEX exerted a variety of effects on apoptotic gene expression in osteoblasts. Ribonuclease protection assays (RPA) revealed that DEX upregulated mRNA levels of caspases-1, -3, -6, -8, -11, -12, and bcl-XL. Western blot analysis showed enhanced processing of these caspases, with the appearance of their activated enzymes 8 h after DEX treatment. In addition, DEX also induced the activation of caspase-9. DEX elevated the levels of cleaved poly(ADP-ribose) polymerase and lamin A, a caspase-3 and a caspase-6 substrate, respectively. Expression of bcl-XL protein level was upregulated by DEX. Cytochrome c release was detected in the cytosol of DEX-treated cells. Furthermore, caspase-3 enzyme activity was elevated by 2-fold after DEX treatment for 7 h. Finally, early apoptotic cells were detected in cells treated with DEX for 3 h. Our results demonstrate that DEX-induced apoptosis involves gene activation of a number of caspases. 相似文献

Calbindin-D28k is known to function as a calcium-buffering protein in the cell. Moreover, recent evidence shows that it also plays a role as a sensor. Using circular dichroism and NMR, we show that calbindin-D28k undergoes significant conformational changes upon binding calcium, whereas only minor changes occur when binding target peptides in its Ca(2+)-loaded state. NMR experiments also identify residues that undergo chemical shift changes as a result of peptide binding. The subsequent use of computational protein-protein docking protocols produce a model describing the interaction interface between calbindin-D28k and its target peptides. 相似文献

The p38 mitogen activated protein kinase (p38MAPK) pathway is an important signaling cascade involved in cell growth, differentiation and apoptosis. High glucose activates p38MAPK pathway in different cells, including osteoblasts. In the present study, role of p38MAPK in high glucose induced osteoblast apoptosis and potential of RNA interference (RNAi) targeting p38MAPK as a therapy strategy have been reported. Lentiviral-mediated RNAi effectively reduced p38MAPK and p-p38MAPK expressions in osteoblastic cell line (MC3T3-E1) following high glucose (22 mM) induction. Inhibition of p38MAPK activity significantly suppressed high glucose induced apoptosis of MC3T3-E1 cell and was confirmed by flow cytometry and ultra-structural examination by transmission electronic microscope. Inhibition of p38MAPK also significantly attenuates caspase-3 and bax protein expressions, but increased significantly bcl-2 expression as determined by Western blot analysis. The results suggested that p38MAPK mediates high glucose induced osteoblast apoptosis, partly through modulating the expressions of caspase-3, bax and bcl-2. Inhibition of p38MAPK with lentiviral-mediated RNAi or its specific inhibitor provides a new strategy to treat high glucose induced osteoblast apoptosis. 相似文献

For the quantitative analysis of vitamin D-dependent 28-kDa calcium-binding protein (calbindin-D) in the CNS, we have established a highly sensitive immunoassay method. The antisera were raised in rabbits with purified calbindin-D from rat kidneys, and the antibodies were purified with a calbindin-D-coupled Sepharose column. The purified antibodies were specific for calbindin-D, showing a single band on the immunoblot with the extract of rat kidney or cerebellum. The sandwich-type immunoassay system was prepared by the use of purified monospecific antibodies, and the minimum detection limit of the assay was 0.1 pg or 3.6 amol of calbindin-D, which was sufficiently sensitive for the measurement of calbindin-D content in isolated Purkinje cell bodies at the level of single cells. The average content of calbindin-D in a single Purkinje cell was 0.05 pg. Calbindin-D was detected in most of the rat tissues examined, but it was present predominantly in the kidney and CNS, especially in the cerebellum. Calbindin-D was detected at a similarly low level in the cerebral cortex, cerebellum, and brainstem of rat embryos of 15 gestational days, and it increased gradually but differently in these regions, reaching the respective adult levels by 4-5 weeks of postnatal age. In contrast, kidney calbindin-D increased sharply between 15 gestational days and 3 postnatal days, reaching the adult level by 6 days of age. Calbindin-D levels in the adult rat CNS were affected little by age, whereas the concentrations in human cerebral cortices were significantly low in the aged brain as compared with those in the young brain.(ABSTRACT TRUNCATED AT 250 WORDS) 相似文献

High dose glucocorticoid (GC) treatment induces osteoporosis partly via increasing osteoblast apoptosis. However, the mechanism
of GC-induced apoptosis has not been fully elucidated. Osteoblast-derived tissue inhibitor of metalloproteinase-1 (TIMP-1)
was recently reported to be involved in bone metabolism. Our previous study demonstrated that TIMP-1 suppressed apoptosis
of the mouse bone marrow stromal cell line MBA-1 (pre-osteoblast) induced by serum deprivation. Therefore, we tested the effect
of the GC dexamethasone (Dex) on TIMP-1 production in murine osteoblastic MC3T3-E1 cells and further determined whether this
action is associated with Dex-induced osteoblast apoptosis. Dex decreased TIMP-1 production in MC3T3-E1 cells, and this effect
was blocked by the glucocorticoid receptor (GR) antagonists, RU486 and RU40555. Recombinant TIMP-1 protein reduced caspase-3
activation and apoptosis induced by Dex in MC3T3-E1 cells. In addition, the pro-apoptotic effect of the Dex was augmented
by suppression of TIMP-1 with siRNA. Furthermore, mutant TIMP-1, which has no inhibitory effects on MMPs, yet protects MC3T3-E1
cells against Dex-induced apoptosis. Our study demonstrates that Dex suppresses TIMP-1 production in osteoblasts through GR,
and this effect is associated with its induction of osteoblast apoptosis. The anti-apoptotic action of TIMP-1 is independent
of its inhibitory effects on MMPs activities. The decrease in TIMP-1 production caused by Dex may contribute to the mechanisms
of Dex-induced bone loss. 相似文献
