H2 is a therapeutic antioxidant that can reduce oxidative stress. Oxidized low-density lipoprotein, which plays roles in atherosclerosis,
may promote endothelial dysfunction by binding the cell-surface receptor LOX-1. LOX-1 expression can be upregulated by various
stimuli, including TNF-α. Thus, we aimed to examine whether the upregulation of LOX-1 by different stimuli could be blocked
by H2 in endothelial cells. H2 significantly abolished the upregulation of LOX-1 by different stimuli, including TNF-α, at the protein and mRNA levels.
The TNF-α-induced upregulation of LOX-1 was also attenuated by the NF-κB inhibitor N-acetyl-l-cysteine. H2 inhibited the TNF-α-induced activation of NF-κB and the phosphorylation of IκB-α. Furthermore, H2 inhibited the expression of LOX-1 and the activation of NF-κB in apolipoprotein E knockout mice, an animal model of atherosclerosis.
Thus, H2 probably inhibits cytokine-induced LOX-1 gene expression by suppressing NF-κB activation. 相似文献

Changes in the levels of antiapoptotic protein B-cell lymphoma 2 (Bcl-2) protein has been reported in murine and human tuberculosis.
We investigated the role of mitogen-activated protein kinase pathways in the production of Bcl-2 protein in THP-1 human monocytes
infected with Mycobacterium tuberculosis H37Rv and H37Ra. Analysis of phosphorylation profiles of mitogen-activated protein kinase kinase-1, extracellular-signal
regulated kinase 1/2, mitogen-activated protein kinase kinase 3/6, and p38 mitogen-activated protein kinase; B-cell lymphoma
2 kinetics; and tumor necrosis factor-α (TNF-α) secretion levels showed variation between the two strains. Mycobacterium tuberculosis H37Rv induced higher Bcl-2 and lower TNF-α levels, whereas H37Ra the reverse. The strains also differed in their usage of
CD14 and human leukocyte antigen-DR receptors in mediating extracellular-signal regulated kinase 1/2 and p38 mitogen-activated
protein kinase activation. Mycobacterium tuberculosis H37Rv- and H37Ra-induced Bcl-2 production was reduced by specific inhibitors of mitogen-activated protein kinase kinase-1
(PD98059) and p38 (SB203580), but increased by nuclear factor κB (NF-κB) inhibitor (BAY 11-7082). TNF-α production by both
strains was reduced in the presence of specific inhibitors of mitogen-activated protein kinase kinase-1 (PD98059), p38 (SB203580),
and NF-κB (BAY 11-7082). Furthermore, inhibition of NF-κB was accompanied by an increase in strain-induced extracellular-signal
regulated kinase 1/2 phosphorylation. Collectively, these results indicate for the first time that the production of Bcl-2
and TNF-α by M. tuberculosis H37Rv/H37Ra-infected THP-1 human monocytes is mediated through mitogen-activated protein kinases and NF-κB. 相似文献

Modulation of enzyme activity through nitrosylation has recently been identified as a new physiological activity of nitric
oxide (NO). We hypothesized that NO enhances the TNF-α-induced death of retinal neurons through a suppression of nuclear factor-κB
(NF-κB) by nitrosylation. In this study, cells from the RGC-5 line were exposed to different concentrations (2.0, 10, and
50 ng/ml) of TNF-α, and the degree of TNF-α-induced cell death was determined by the WST-8 assay and by flow cytometric measurements
of the externalization of phosphatidylserine. The effects of etanercept, a soluble TNFR-Fc fusion protein, and S-nitroso-N-penicillamine (SNAP), an NO donor, on the toxicity were determined. Experiments were also performed to determine whether
nitric oxide synthase (NOS) was associated with the toxicity of TNF-α. The activation of NF-κB was determined by the detection
of the p65 subunit in the nuclear extracts. Our results showed that exposure of RGC-5 cells to different concentrations of
TNF-α significantly decreased the number of living cells in a dose-dependent way. The death was partially due to apoptosis
with an externalization of phosphatidylserine, and the death was suppressed by etanercept. Exposure to TNF-α increased the
activation of NF-κB and the expression of iNOS. Although NF-κB inhibitors suppressed the increase of iNOS, they also potentiated
the TNF-α-induced death. Both L-NAME and aminoguanidine, both NOS inhibitors, rescued the cells from death. In contrast, addition
of SNAP caused nitrosylation of the inhibitory κB kinase, and suppressed the NF-κB activation and potentiated the TNF-α-induced
neurotoxicity. These results indicate that NO potentiates the neurotoxicity of TNF-α by suppressing NF-κB. 相似文献

The present study attempts to investigate the effects of S-propargyl-cysteine (SPRC), a sulfur-containing amino acid, on lipopolysaccharide (LPS)-induced inflammatory response in H9c2
cardiac myocytes. We found that SPRC prevented nuclear factor-κB (NF-κB) activation assessed by NF-κB p65 phosphorylation
and IκBα degradation, suppressed LPS-induced extracellular signal-regulated kinase 1/2 (ERK1/2) phosphorylation and intracellular
reactive oxygen species (ROS) production. Furthermore, incubation of H9c2 cells with SPRC induced phosphorylation of Akt in
a time- and concentration-dependent manner. In addition, SPRC attenuated LPS-induced mRNA and protein expression of tumor
necrosis factor-α (TNF-α), and mRNA expression of intercellular adhesion molecule-1 (ICAM-1) and inducible nitric oxide synthase
(iNOS). The effects of SPRC were abolished by cystathionine γ-lyase [CSE-an enzyme that synthesizes hydrogen sulfide (H2S)] inhibitor, dl-propargylglycine (PAG), SPRC-induced Akt phosphorylation and TNF-α release was also abolished by the phosphoinositide 3-kinase
(PI3K) inhibitor LY294002. Furthermore, SPRC also increased LPS-induced down-regulation expression of CSE and H2S level in H9c2 cells. PAG abolished SPRC-induced up-regulation of H2S level. Therefore, we concluded that SPRC produced an anti-inflammatory effect in LPS-stimulated H9c2 cells partly through
the CSE/H2S pathway by impairing IκBα/NF-κB signaling and by activating PI3K/Akt signaling pathway. 相似文献

Gypenoside XLIX isolated from Gynostemma pentaphyllum inhibits nuclear factor-kappaB activation via a PPAR-alpha-dependent pathway 总被引:2,自引:0,他引:2

Summary Nuclear factor (NF)-κB is important in the generation of inflammation. Besides regulating lipid metabolism, peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor (PPAR)-α activators also reduce NF-κB activation to terminate activation of inflammatory pathways. Gynostemma pentaphyllum (GP) has been used to treat various inflammatory diseases and hyperlipidemia. Here, we demonstrate that GP extract and one of its main components, Gypenoside XLIX (Gyp-XLIX) inhibited LPS-induced NF-κB activation in murine macrophages. Furthermore, Gyp-XLIX restored the LPS- and TNF-α-induced decrease in cytosolic I-κBα protein expression and inhibited the translocation of NF-κB(p65) to the nucleus in THP-1 monocyte and HUVEC cells. The inhibition of LPS- and TNF-α-induced NF-κB luciferase activity in macrophages was abolished by MK-886, a selective PPAR-α antagonist. GP extract and Gyp-XLIX (EC50: 10.1 μM) enhanced PPAR-α luciferase activity in HEK293 cells transfected with the tK-PPREx3-Luc reporter plasmid and expression vectors for PPAR-α. Additionally, Gyp-XLIX specifically enhanced PPAR-α mRNA and protein expression in THP-1-derived macrophage cells. The selectivity of Gyp-XLIX for PPAR-α was demonstrated by the activation of only PPAR-α in HEK293 cells transfected with expression vectors for PPAR-α, PPAR-β/δ or PPAR-γ1 plasmids and in THP-1-derived macrophage naturally expressing all three PPAR isoforms. The present study demonstrates that Gyp-XLIX, a naturally occurring gynosaponin, inhibits NF-κB activation via a PPAR-α-dependent pathway.Tom Hsun-Wei Huang and Yuhao Li contributed equally. 相似文献

Lanthanide ions have been proven to have various biologic effects. Lanthanum with extremely active physical and chemical property
was evidenced to possess antibacterial and immune adjustment effects. In the present study, the anti-inflammatory effects
of lanthanum chloride (LaCl3) on lipopolysaccharide (LPS)-challenged mice were examined in vivo and in vitro. The results indicated that LaCl3 can greatly decrease the secretion of tumor necrosis factor alpha (TNF-α) and interleukin (IL)-1β as well as TNF-α mRNA expression
in the mice challenged with LPS. To clarify the mechanism involved, the effects of LaCl3 on the activation of nuclear factor (NF)-κB were examined both in liver and in peritoneal macrophages. The LPS-induced activation
of NF-κB was significantly blocked by LaCl3. These findings demonstrate that the inhibition of the LPS-induced inflammatory media, such as TNF-α and IL-1β, by LaCl3, is due to the inhibition of NF-κ B activation. 相似文献

The tissue destruction characteristic of syphilis infection may be caused by inflammation due to Treponema pallidum and the ensuing immune responses to the pathogen. T. pallidum membrane proteins are thought to be potent inducers of inflammation during the early stages of infection. However, the actual
membrane proteins that induce inflammatory cytokine production are not known, nor are the molecular mechanisms responsible
for triggering and sustaining the inflammatory cascades. In the present study, Tp0751 recombinant protein from T. pallidum was found to induce the production of proinflammatory cytokines, including TNF-α, IL-1βand IL-6, in a THP-1 human monocyte
cell line. The signal transduction pathways involved in the production of these cytokines were then further investigated.
No inhibition of TNF-a, IL-1β, or IL-6 production was observed following treatment with the SAPK/JNK specific inhibitor SP600125
or with an ERK inhibitor PD98059. By contrast, anti-TLR2 mAb, anti-CD14 mAb, and the p38 inhibitor SB203580 significantly
inhibited the production of all three cytokines. In addition, pyrrolidine dithiocarbamate (PDTC), a specific inhibitor of
NF-κB, profoundly inhibited the production of these cytokines. Tp0751 treatment strongly activated NF-κB, as revealed by Western
blotting. However, NF-κB translocation was significantly inhibited by treatment with PDTC. These results indicated that TLR2,
CD14, MAPKs/p38, and NF-κB might be implicated in the inflammatory reaction caused by T. pallidum infection. 相似文献

The link of proto-oncogenic protein Wnt-1 production with NF-κB activation has been functionally demonstrated in PC12 cells, a rat pheochromocytoma cell line of neural
crest lineage, while it is not yet verified in human cells. The link can be indirectly supported in our previous report that
functional proteomics identifies enhanced expression of NF-κB-associated Wnt-1 production in human hepatocellular carcinoma tissues. This study aimed to further validate this link in human cells using
anti-sense strategy. The effects of sequence-specific anti-sense morpholino oligonucleotides (ONs) targeting against pre-mRNA
sequences of human p50 and p65 subunits of NF-κB as well as Wnt-1 genes were investigated. It revealed that all the three morpholino ONs inhibited NF-κB activation in human hepatoblastoma
cell line HepG2 cells along with decreased Wnt-1 production. Chromatin immunoprecipitation assay ascertained the direct binding of NF-κB-p50 to the Wnt-1 promoter. Additionally, anti-P50 and anti-P65 morpholino ONs also repressed the phosphorylation of Iκ Bα which temporarily
correlated with the inhibition of NF-κB activation accompanied by decreased Wnt-1 production by HepG2 cells. In summary, NF-κB activation is critically involved in the production of Wnt-1 by HepG2 cells. These results may have important oncology implications in treating patients with NF-κB-associated Wnt-1-producing cancers.

Mast cell-mediated allergic inflammation is involved in many diseases such as asthma, sinusitis, and rheumatoid arthritis.
Mast cells induce synthesis and production of pro-inflammatory cytokines including tumor necrosis factor (TNF)-α, interleukin
(IL)-1β and IL-6 with immune regulatory properties. The formulated ethanol extract of Artemisia asiatica Nakai (DA-9601) has been reported to have antioxidative and anti-inflammatory activities. In this report, we investigated
the effect of DA-9601 on the expression of pro-inflammatory cytokines by the activated human mast cell line HMC-1 and studied
its possible mechanisms of action. DA-9601 dose-dependently decreased the gene expression and production of TNF-α, IL-1β,
and IL-6 on phorbol 12-myristate 13-acetate (PMA)- and calcium ionophore A23187-stimulated HMC-1 cells. In addition, DA-9601
attenuated PMA- and A23187-induced activation of NF-κB as indicated by inhibition of degradation of IκBα, nuclear translocation
of NF-κB, NF-κB/DNA binding, and NF-κB-dependent gene reporter assay. Our in vitro studies provide evidence that DA-9601 might contribute to the treatment of mast cell-derived allergic inflammatory diseases. 相似文献

3-hydroxy-3-methylglutaryl coenzyme A (HMG-CoA) reductase inhibitors has been shown to reduce the progression of renal disease
independent of cholesterol-lowering effect, but the mechanism of potential protective effect remains unclear. Here, we investigate
the effect of fluvastatin on activation of nuclear factor-κB (NF-κB) induced by angiotensin II (AngII) in rat kidney tubule
epithelial cells (NRK-52E). Electrophoretic mobility shift assays (EMSA) was used to detect NF-κB activation. Phosphorylation
of cellular p38 mitogen-activated protein kinase (p38MAPK) was determined by western blot analysis. AngII stimulated the DNA-binding
activity of NF-κB and phosphorylation of p38MAPK in cultured NRK-52E cells in a dose-dependent (10−9–10−6 mol/l) manner (P < 0.01). AngII (10−6 mol/l) induced a rapid (5 min) increase of the p38MAPK phosphorylation. NF-κB DNA-binding activity was increased at as early
as 30 min, peaked at 2 h after AngII treatment. This stimulatory effect of AngII on NF-κB was blocked by SB203580 (a specific
inhibitor of p38MAPK). Incubation of cells with fluvastatin significantly inhibited the AngII-induced NF-κB activation in
a dose-dependent (10−7–10−5 mol/l) manner (P < 0.05). Exogenous mevalonate (10−4mol/l) prevented the effect of fluvastatin on NF-κB activation. These results suggest the fluvastatin reduced AngII-induced
NF-κB activation via the p38MAPK pathway in NRK-52E cells. The effect is at least partly due to blocking the biosynthesis
of mevalonate. 相似文献

Nuclear factor (NF)-κB is a key regulator of synovial inflammation. We investigated the effect of local NF-κB inhibition in
rat adjuvant arthritis (AA), using the specific IκB kinase (IKK)-β blocking NF-κB essential modulator-binding domain (NBD)
peptide. The effects of the NBD peptide on human fibroblast-like synoviocytes (FLS) and macrophages, as well as rheumatoid
arthritis (RA) whole-tissue biopsies, were also evaluated. First, we investigated the effects of the NBD peptide on RA FLS
in vitro. Subsequently, NBD peptides were administered intra-articularly into the right ankle joint of rats at the onset of disease.
The severity of arthritis was monitored over time, rats were sacrificed on day 20, and tissue specimens were collected for
routine histology and x-rays of the ankle joints. Human macrophages or RA synovial tissues were cultured ex vivo in the presence or absence of NBD peptides, and cytokine production was measured in the supernatant by enzyme-linked immunosorbent
assay. The NBD peptide blocked interleukin (IL)-1-β-induced IκBα phosphorylation and IL-6 production in RA FLS. Intra-articular
injection of the NBD peptide led to significantly reduced severity of arthritis (p < 0.0001) and reduced radiological damage (p = 0.04). This was associated with decreased synovial cellularity and reduced expression of tumor necrosis factor (TNF)-α
and IL-1-β in the synovium. Incubation of human macrophages with NBD peptides resulted in 50% inhibition of IL-1-β-induced
TNF-α production in the supernatant (p < 0.01). In addition, the NBD peptide decreased TNF-α-induced IL-6 production by human RA synovial tissue biopsies by approximately
42% (p < 0.01). Specific NF-κB blockade using a small peptide inhibitor of IKK-β has anti-inflammatory effects in AA and human RA
synovial tissue as well as in two important cell types in the pathogenesis of RA: macrophages and FLS. These results indicate
that IKK-β-targeted NF-κB blockade using the NBD peptide could offer a new approach for the local treatment of arthritis. 相似文献

NF-κB and Akt are two main cell survival pathways that attenuate the anticancer efficacy of therapeutics. Our previous studies
demonstrated that the Smac mimetic compound 3 (SMC3) specifically suppresses c-IAP1 and induces TNF-α autocrine to kill cancer
cells. However, SMC3 also induces a cell survival signal through NF-κB activation. In this report, we further found that SMC3
potently activates Akt, which inhibits SMC3-induced cancer cell death. Strikingly, concurrent blocking NF-κB and Akt resulted
in a significantly potentiated cytotoxicity. Because heat shock protein 90 (Hsp90) plays an important role in maintaining
the integrity of both the NF-κB and Akt pathways in cancer cells, we examined if suppression of Hsp90 is able to potentiate
SMC3-induced cancer cell death. The results show that targeting Hsp90 does not interfere with SMC3-induced c-IAP1 degradation
and TNF-α autocrine, the key processes for SMC3-induced cancer cell apoptosis. However, Hsp90 inhibitors effectively blocked
SMC3-induced NF-κB activation through degradation of RIP1 and IKKβ, two key components of the NF-κB activation pathway, and
reduced both the constitutive and SMC3-induced Akt activity through degradation of the Akt protein. Consistently, with the
co-treatment of SMC3 and Hsp90 inhibitors, apoptosis was markedly sensitized and a synergistic cytotoxicity was observed.
The results suggest that concurrent targeting c-IAP1 and Hsp90 by combination of SMC3 and Hsp90 inhibitors is an effective
approach for improving the anticancer value of SMC3. 相似文献

Adenosine serves a number of important physiological roles in the body, which is the most widely studied endogenous signal
molecules, and the underlying mechanism responsible for such cardioprotection needs more understood, particularly adenosine
postconditioning in myocardial ischemia/reperfusion model. In the present study we performed to investigate the inflammatory
response of adenosine postconditioning on the cardiac TNF-α expression and NF-κB activation. Eighteen rats were randomly divided
into 4 groups: (1) Group A: sham operation group; (2) Group B: ischemia/reperfusion group; (3) Group C: postconditioned groups,
four cycles of 30-s reperfusion/30-s occlusion were started immediately after release of the index ischemia (n = 6 each); (4) Group D: adenosine was infused 40 μg kg−1 min−1 5 min before the onset of reperfusion without subsequent postconditioning cycles. Hearts were removed at the termination
of experiments, which were preserved in frozen tube and stored at −70°C refrigerator for Measurement of malonyldialdehyde
(MDA), activities of the NF-κB and TNF-α and IL-10 assay. The results of this study indicate that adenosine postconditioning
immediately after myocardial ischemia can reduce the myocardial tissue MDA generation and infarct size, improve cardiac function,
which is coincidence with conventional postconditioning. The study also found that modulation of NF-κB activation and accordingly
reduces inflammatory factor TNF-α expression may be a molecular mechanism of adenosine down-regulation of inflammatory cytokine
production. 相似文献

Background
Activation of nuclear factor-κB (NF-κB) is one of the key events in early atherosclerosis and restenosis. We hypothesized that tumor necrosis factor-α (TNF-α) induced and NF-κB mediated expression of intercellular adhesion molecule-1 (ICAM-1) can be inhibited by antisense RelA p65 and NF-κB1 p50 oligonucleotides (RelA p65 and NF-κB1 p50). 相似文献19.
Effects of glutamine on the nuclear factor-kappaB signaling pathway of murine peritoneal macrophages

The aim of this study was to evaluate the effect of glutamine on the expression of proteins involved in the nuclear factor-kappaB
(NF-κB) signaling pathway of murine peritoneal macrophages. Since glutamine is essential for the normal functioning of macrophages,
it was hypothesized that in vitro glutamine supplementation would increase NF-κB activation. Peritoneal macrophages were pretreated
with glutamine (0, 0.6, 2 and 10 mM) before incubation with lipopolysaccharide (LPS), and the effects of glutamine on the
production of tumor necrosis factor-alpha and on the expression and activity of proteins involved in the NF-κB signaling pathway
were studied by an enzyme linked immuno-sorbent assay, Western blotting, and an electrophoretic mobility shift assay. Glutamine
treatment (2 and 10 mM) increased the activation of NF-κB in LPS-stimulated peritoneal macrophages (P < 0.05). In non-stimulated cells, glutamine treatment (2 and 10 mM) significantly reduced IκB-α protein expression (P < 0.05). Glutamine modulates NF-κB signaling pathway by reducing the level of IκB-α, leading to an increase in NF-κB within
the nucleus in peritoneal macrophages. 相似文献

Silibinin is a polyphenolic flavonoid compound isolated from milk thistle (Silybum marianum), with known hepatoprotective, anticarcinogenic, and antioxidant effects. Herein, we show that silibinin inhibits receptor
activator of NF-κB ligand (RANKL)-induced osteoclastogenesis from RAW264.7 cells as well as from bone marrow-derived monocyte/macrophage
cells in a dose-dependent manner. Silibinin has no effect on the expression of RANKL or the soluble RANKL decoy receptor osteoprotegerin
(OPG) in osteoblasts. However, we demonstrate that silibinin can block the activation of NF-κB, c-Jun N-terminal kinase (JNK),
p38 mitogen-activated protein (MAP) kinase, and extracellular signal-regulated kinase (ERK) in osteoclast precursors in response
to RANKL. Furthermore, silibinin attenuates the induction of nuclear factor of activated T cells (NFAT) c1 and osteoclast-associated
receptor (OSCAR) expression during RANKL-induced osteoclastogenesis. We demonstrate that silibinin can inhibit TNF-α-induced
osteoclastogenesis as well as the expression of NFATc1 and OSCAR. Taken together, our results indicate that silibinin has
the potential to inhibit osteoclast formation by attenuating the downstream signaling cascades associated with RANKL and TNF-α. 相似文献
