Effects of resveratrol and 4-hexylresorcinol on hydrogen peroxide-induced oxidative DNA damage in human lymphocytes 总被引:1,自引:0,他引:1
The protective effects of resveratrol and 4-hexylresorcinol against oxidative DNA damage in human lymphocytes induced by hydrogen peroxide were investigated. Resveratrol and 4-hexylresorcinol showed no cytotoxicity to human lymphocytes at the tested concentration (10-100 μM). In addition, DNA damage in human lymphocytes induced by H 2 O 2 was inhibited by resveratrol and 4-hexylresorcinol. Resveratrol and 4-hexylresorcinol at concentrations of 10-100 μM induced an increase in glutathione (GSH) levels in a concentration-dependent manner. Moreover, these two compounds also induced activity of glutathione peroxidase (GPX) and glutathione reductase (GR). The activity of glutathione-S-transferase (GST) in human lymphocytes was induced by resveratrol. Resveratrol and 4-hexylresorcinol inhibited the activity of catalase (CAT). These data indicate that the inhibition of resveratrol and 4-hexylresorcinol on oxidative DNA damage in human lymphocytes induced by H 2 O 2 might be attributed to increase levels of GSH and modulation of antioxidant enzymes (GPX, GR and GST). 相似文献

Hormones can exert significant protective effects on autoimmune diseases by activating immunoregulatory mechanisms. One of the possible mechanisms of hormonal protection might be through the anti-inflammatory effects of the TGF-beta molecule. The present study investigated the changes in expression of two TGF-beta isoforms, TGF-beta1 and TGF-beta3, in C57BL/6 and TCR transgenic (T/R+) B10.PL mice that manifested or were protected against clinical signs of experimental autoimmune encephalomyelitis (EAE) with 17beta-estradiol (E2) treatment. We here demonstrate an inverse relationship between expression of TGF-beta1 that is enhanced in mice with EAE, and TGF-beta3 that is enhanced in E2-protected mice. The differential expression of TGF-beta isoforms was observed in spinal cord tissue but not spleen. Additionally TGF-beta1 expression was evident both in whole spinal cord tissue and mononuclear cells isolated from inflamed tissue, in contrast to TGF-beta3 that was only detected in spinal cord tissue but not in mononuclear cells. Further studies revealed that CD3 and especially MAC-1 positive cells were the main source of TGF-beta1 in the mononuclear CNS population. Of crucial importance, the TGF-beta3 isoform displayed anti-proliferative properties towards encephalitogenic cells in vitro. We propose that the TGF-beta1 and TGF-beta3 isoforms play opposing roles in the expression of EAE. 相似文献

TGF-β1-promoted epithelial-to-mesenchymal transfor mation and cell adhesion contribute to TGF-β1-enhanced cell migration in SMMC-7721 cells 总被引:9,自引:0,他引:9
Transforming growth factor-bl (TGF-β1), a multi-function polypeptide, is a double-edged sword in cancer. For some tumor cells, TGF-β1 is a potent growth inhibitor and apoptosis inducer. More commonly, TGF-β1 losesits growth-inhibitory and apoptosis-inducing effects, but stimulates the metastatic capacity of tumor cells. It is currently little known about TGF-β1-promoted cell migration in hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) cells, let alone its mechanism. In this study, we found that TGF-β1 lost its tumor-suppressive effects, but significantly stimulated cellmigration in SMMC-7721 human HCC cells. By FACS and Western blot analysis, we observed that TGF-β1 enhanced the expression of ct5131 integrin obviously, and subsequently stimulated cell adhesion onto fibronectin(Fn). Furthermore, we observed that TGF-β1 could also promote SMMC-7721 cells adhesion onto laminin (Ln).Our data also provided evidences that TGF-β1 induced epithelial-to-mesenchymal transformation (EMT) in SMMC-7721 cells. First, SMMC-7721 cells clearly switched to the spindle shape morphology after TGF-β1 treatment.Furthermore, TGF-β1 induced the down-regulation of E-cadherin and the nuclear translocation of β1-catenin. These results indicated that TGF-β1-promoted cell adhesion and TGF-β1-induced epithelial-to-mesenchymal transfor-mation might be both responsible for TGF-β1-enhanced cell migration. 相似文献

Human papillomaviruses (HPV) are considered the etiological agents of cervical cancer, especially high-risk genotypes. TGF-beta (transforming growth factor-beta) is well known for its anti-proliferative effects but the neoplastic cells often lose their sensitivity to TGF-beta. A characteristic alteration associated with malignant progression is the loss of responsiveness to TGF-beta1-induced cell growth inhibition. The aim of the present study was to establish the possible role of some members of TGF-beta signalling pathway during cervical cancer development and the possible relationship with HPV infection. In order to establish TGF-beta gene expression levels in cervical oncogenesis, TGF-beta1, TGF-beta1 receptors and Smad2 were investigated in precancerous and cervical cancer samples (Quantitative Real-Time PCR). The study revealed that 84.5% of patients were positive for HPV DNA. The most prevalent HPV genotypes were high-risk HPV 16 and 18 in single or co-infections. Expression of TGF-beta1 decreased as tumor cells progressed from cervical intraepithelial neoplasia to cervical carcinoma. Furthermore, we observed that cervical lesions without HPV infection expressed significantly less TGF-beta1. TGF-betaRI and Smad2 gene expression levels were found to be decreased in SCC and AC samples in contrast with CIN1 and CIN2/3 samples. Our results showed that in human cervical cancer the disruption of TGF-beta/Smad signalling pathway might contribute to the malignant progression of cervical dysplasia. These data emphasize the importance of canonical TGF-beta pathway integrity in carcinogenesis. 相似文献

epsilon-Viniferin, a dimer of resveratrol, was isolated in wine at concentration between 0.5 and 5 microM. As resveratrol and polyphenols from red wine were reported to inhibit cytochrome P450 (CYP) activities, this led us to investigate the inhibitory effects of epsilon-viniferin on human CYP1A1, CYP1A2, CYP1B1, CYP2A6, CYP2B6, CYP2E1, CYP3A4 and CYP4A activities. These effects were compared to those of resveratrol and non volatiles compounds from red wine or various Cognac(R) beverages (enriched with oak-polyphenols). Assays were carried out on human liver microsomes and heterologously expressed CYPs. Ethoxyresorufin, coumarin, benzoxyresorufin, chlorzoxazone, testosterone and lauric acid were used as selective substrates for CYP1A1, CYP1A2, CYP1B1, CYP2A6, CYP2B6, CYP2E1, CYP3A4 and CYP4A, respectively. epsilon-viniferin displayed a more potent inhibitory effect than resveratrol for all the CYP activities tested (Ki 0.5 to 20 microM vs. 10 to 100 microM, respectively). This effect was not due to an inhibition of the NADPH reductase. A particularly potent inhibitory effect was shown for CYP1A1, CYP1B1 and CYP2B6 which are involved in bioactivation of numerous carcinogens. epsilon-viniferin was not a mechanism-based inhibitor of human CYPs. It displayed, like resveratrol, mixed-type inhibitions for all the CYP tested, except for CYP2E1 (non-competitive). Comparison of the inhibitory effects exerted on CYP activities by epsilon-viniferin, resveratrol and non volatile components from red wine or various Cognac beverages showed that neither resveratrol, nor epsilon-viniferin is the main CYP inhibitor present in red wine solids. 相似文献

Transforming growth factor-beta (TGF-beta) responsiveness in cultured cells can be modulated by TGF-beta partitioning between lipid raft/caveolae- and clathrin-mediated endocytosis pathways. The TbetaR-II/TbetaR-I binding ratio of TGF-beta on the cell surface has recently been found to be a signal that controls TGF-beta partitioning between these pathways. Since cholesterol is a structural component in lipid rafts/caveolae, we have studied the effects of cholesterol on TGF-beta binding to TGF-beta receptors and TGF-beta responsiveness in cultured cells and in animals. Here we demonstrate that treatment with cholesterol, alone or complexed in lipoproteins, decreases the TbetaR-II/TbetaR-I binding ratio of TGF-beta while treatment with cholesterol-lowering or cholesterol-depleting agents increases the TbetaR-II/TbetaR-I binding ratio of TGF-beta in all cell types studied. Among cholesterol derivatives and analogs examined, cholesterol is the most potent agent for decreasing the TbetaR-II/TbetaR-I binding ratio of TGF-beta. Cholesterol treatment increases accumulation of the TGF-beta receptors in lipid rafts/caveolae as determined by sucrose density gradient ultracentrifugation analysis of cell lysates. Cholesterol/LDL suppresses TGF-beta responsiveness and statins/beta-CD enhances it, as measured by the levels of P-Smad2 and PAI-1 expression in cells stimulated with TGF-beta. Furthermore, the cholesterol effects observed in cultured cells are also found in the aortic endothelium of atherosclerotic ApoE-null mice fed a high cholesterol diet. These results indicate that high plasma cholesterol levels may contribute to the pathogenesis of certain diseases (e.g., atherosclerosis) by suppressing TGF-beta responsiveness. 相似文献

TGF-beta and cancer 总被引:3,自引:0,他引:3
TGF-beta signaling regulates tumorigenesis and in human cancer its signaling pathways are often modified during tumor progression. Prior to initiation and early during progression TGF-beta acts upon the epithelium as a tumor suppressor, however at later stages it is often a tumor promoter. Over the years, many studies have focused on the epithelial cell autonomous role for TGF-beta, however, TGF-beta is not strictly limited to this compartment in vivo. Recent studies addressing TGF-beta mediated stromal-epithelial interactions have significantly improved our understanding related to the regulation of cancer. In addition, stromal fibroblast cell autonomous effects have been observed in response to TGF-beta stimulation. According to the current literature and experimental evidence, TGF-beta is a potent ligand that regulates carcinoma initiation, progression and metastasis through a broad and complex spectrum of interdependent interactions. 相似文献

Resveratrol, a phytochemical present in grapes, has been demonstrated to inhibit tumourigenesis in animal models. However, the specific mechanism by which resveratrol exerts its anticarcinogenic effect has yet to be elucidated. In the present study, the inhibitory effects of resveratrol on cell proliferation and apoptosis were evaluated in the human leukaemia cell line HL-60 and the human hepatoma derived cell line HepG2. We found that after a 2 h incubation period, resveratrol inhibited DNA synthesis in a concentration-dependent manner. The IC50 value was 15 microm in both HL-60 and HepG2 cells. When the time of treatment was extended, an increase in IC50 value was observed; for example, at 24 h the IC50 value was 30 microm for HL-60 cells and 60 microm for HepG2 cells. Flow cytometry revealed that cells accumulated in different phases of the cell cycle depending on the resveratrol concentration. Furthermore, an increase in nuclear size and granularity was observed in the G1 and S phases of HL-60 treated and HepG2-treated cells. Apoptosis was also stimulated by resveratrol in a concentration-dependent manner in HL-60 and HepG2 cells. In conclusion, resveratrol inhibits cell proliferation in a concentration- and time-dependent manner by interfering with different stages of the cell cycle. Furthermore, resveratrol treatment causes stimulation of apoptosis as well as an increase in nuclear size and granularity. 相似文献

Resveratrol is a natural polyphenol that exerts potent effects to suppress atherosclerosis. However, its low concentration in plasma has placed this role in doubt. Thus, resveratrol effects might be dependent on its transport into vascular endothelium, a question not previously addressed in spite of its obvious and fundamental importance. Via high-performance liquid chromatography and liquid chromatography/mass spectrometry, we found that resveratrol was absorbed by human umbilical vein endothelial cells in a temperature-, concentration- and time-dependent manner, suggesting the involvement of passive diffusion and active transport. As determined by confocal laser scanning microscopy, resveratrol primarily distributed throughout the cytoplasm. Furthermore, resveratrol absorption was modulated by serum proteins and sodium-dependent glucose transporter 1 (SGLT1) yet inhibited by glucose (an SGLT1 substrate) and phlorizin (an SGLT1 selective inhibitor), as well as SGLT1 siRNA transfection. Additionally, Sprague–Dawley rats were intragastrically administrated with 100 mg/kg of resveratrol and the concentration of resveratrol in blood vessels declined more slowly up to 24 h compared to that in the blood. Our results suggested that resveratrol uptake by vascular endothelial cells involved both passive diffusion and an SGLT1-mediated process, at least partially. Moreover, the intracellular resveratrol pool may be more important than the serum level in vivo. These provide new insights into the cardiovascular benefits of resveratrol. 相似文献

Modulation of TGF-beta type 1 receptor: flow cytometric detection with biotinylated TGF-beta 总被引:2,自引:0,他引:2
Transforming growth factor beta type 1 (TGF-beta 1) was reacted with NHS-biotin to yield a derivative of TGF-beta 1 which was biotinylated on lysine residues. The biotinylated form of TGF-beta 1 was separated from the unreacted material by reverse phase chromatography. In three separate bioassays, the derivatized peptide was as active as the starting material. The use of FITC-avidin in conjunction with flow cytometry demonstrated that the binding of biotinylated TGF-beta 1 to its receptor is saturable, competable, and specific. A 100-fold molar excess of underivatized TGF-beta 1 gave 85% inhibition of binding of the biotinylated peptide to the mink lung cell line CCL-64, while TGF-beta 2 showed no inhibition of binding, nor did insulin, calcitonin, or TGF-alpha. Both CCL-64 cells and human umbilical vein endothelial cells showed a density-dependent down-regulation of receptor expression in culture. Several factors were examined that might mediate this effect. The down-regulation was shown not to be due to the secretion of an active form of TGF-beta 1. The extracellular matrix from high-density cells did not decrease expression of the receptor. Fibronectin, collagen, and gelatin were also unable to signal changes in receptor expression, even though in other systems such matrix components can regulate the responsiveness of cells to TGF-beta 1. Lastly, staining simultaneously for DNA content and TGF-beta 1 receptor expression showed that there was no correlation between cell cycle and receptor levels. 相似文献

The phytochemical resveratrol (trans-3,4′,5-trihydroxystilbene) is a naturally occurring polyphenol with a plethora of health-beneficial properties, including a preventive role in cancer. We surmise that resveratrol may exert its diverse biological effects by interacting with specific target proteins, denoted RTPs. To test this possibility, resveratrol was immobilized on epoxy-activated agarose forming a resveratrol affinity column (RAC), which was used to detect and isolate RTPs. Distinct RTPs can be resolved on RAC by fractionation with increasing NaCl, followed by 1 mM ATP, and finally, with 1-2 mM resveratrol. A 22-kDa polypeptide, RTP-22, eluted with resveratrol was identified by MALDI-TOF MS and cloning/expression in Escherichia coli, as dihydronicotinamide riboside quinone reductase 2 (NQO2). The utility of RAC was additionally explored with extracts derived from different staging prostate cancer cells. NQO2 was most abundant in CWR22Rv1, a model for prostate cancer transition from androgen-dependent to the hormone-refractory state, but was marginally expressed in JCA-1 cells as representing more advanced stage prostate cancer. These results provide evidence for the existence of distinctive RTPs in mammalian cells and that RAC is a facile approach to identify and purify RTPs. 相似文献

Extensive research is being carried out to analyse the importance of plant products such as resveratrol and genistein, which are known to exert a variety of pharmacological effects. This study aims at evaluating the protective role of these compounds against the apoptosis induced in normal cells by cytotoxic anticancer agents such as cisplatin and mytomycin C during therapy. Despite the broad antineoplastic action of cisplatin and mitomycin C, their genotoxicity in normal cell might lead to the induction of secondary malignancies. Therefore, the problem of identifying plant compounds, which might exert protective action in normal cells, gains lot of significance. We have analyzed the chemoprotective effect of plant compounds on peripheral blood human lymphocytes when exposed to cisplatin and mitomycin C by pre-treating and post-treating them with resveratrol and genistein at 100 microM concentration Biochemical alterations occurring in many cells during apoptosis include loss of plasma membrane phospholipid asymmetry, DNA fragmentation, and activation of caspase-3, et cetera, and have been assessed. Fluorescence microscopy, flow cytometric techniques have clearly demonstrated that resveratrol and genistein are efficient in protecting lymphocytes undergoing DNA damage when exposed to cisplatin and mitomycin C and exerted their activity by reducing the caspase 3 expression. An interesting observation is that, these compounds offered their protective effect by reducing their apoptotic potential on membrane and nucleic acids against cytotoxic agents, cisplatin, and mitomycin C. These results suggest that resveratrol and genistein might be useful for risk assessments in advance of clinical trials and could be considered as a strong candidate in pharmacogenomics or nutriprotective arena. 相似文献

BACKGROUND INFORMATION: Loss of sensitivity to TGF-beta1 (transforming growth factor beta1)-induced growth arrest is an important step towards malignant transformation in human epithelial cells, and Id-1 (inhibitor of differentiation or DNA binding-1) has been associated with cell proliferation and cell-cycle progression. Here, we investigated the role of Id-1 in cellular sensitivity to TGF-beta1. RESULTS: Using an immortalized prostate epithelial cell line, NPTX cells, we suppressed Id-1 expression through antisense strategy. We found that inhibition of Id-1 expression suppressed cell proliferation and at the same time induced cellular senescence and G2/M cell-cycle arrest. In addition, inactivation of Id-1 made cells more vulnerable to TGF-beta1-induced growth arrest. The sensitization effect on TGF-beta1 was associated with up-regulation of two downstream effectors of the TGF-beta1 pathway, p21WAF1/Cip1 and p27KIP1. CONCLUSION: Our results indicate that endogenous Id-1 levels might be a crucial factor in the development of resistance to TGF-beta1-induced growth suppression in human prostate epithelial cells. 相似文献

Due to its immunosuppressive properties, the cytokine transforming growth factor (TGF)-beta has become a promising target in the experimental treatment of human malignant gliomas. Here, we report that the antifibrotic drug 5-methyl-1-phenyl-2-(1H)-pyridone (pirfenidone, PFD) elicits growth-inhibitory effects and reduces TGF-beta2 protein levels in human glioma cell lines. This reduction in TGF-beta2 is biologically relevant since PFD treatment reduces the growth inhibition of TGF-beta-sensitive CCL-64 cells mediated by conditioned media of glioma cells. The downregulation of TGF-beta is mediated at multiple levels. PFD leads to a reduction of TGF-beta2 mRNA levels and of the mature TGF-beta2 protein due to decreased expression and direct inhibition of the TGF-beta pro-protein convertase furin. In addition, PFD reduces the protein levels of the matrix metalloproteinase (MMP)-11, a TGF-beta target gene and furin substrate involved in carcinogenesis. These data define PFD or PFD-related agents as promising agents for human cancers associated with enhanced TGF-beta activity. 相似文献

We have investigated the ability of porcine-platelet-derived transforming growth factor-beta 1 (TGF-beta 1) to inhibit the generation of lymphokine-activated killer (LAK) cells by human rIL-2. The results demonstrate that TGF-beta 1, in a dose-related manner, significantly inhibits rIL-2-induced LAK cell activity against Daudi and COLO target cells and, to a lesser degree, against K-562 cells. Maximal inhibition was obtained by the addition of TGF-beta 1 at the time of culture initiation and, to a lesser degree, on day 1. Only minimal inhibition was obtained when TGF-beta 1 addition was delayed until day 2 of culture or when added directly into the LAK cell assay. Additional studies demonstrated that porcine platelet-derived TGF-beta 2 and human rTGF-beta 1 inhibited LAK cell generation similar to that obtained with TGF-beta 1. The inhibition of LAK cell activity by TGF-beta 1 was reversed by the addition of human rTNF-alpha at the initiation of culture. In addition, rTNF-alpha synergized with suboptimal levels of rIL-2 in the generation of LAK activity. After stimulation with rIL-2, LAK cells produced significant levels of IFN-gamma, TNF-alpha, and TNF-beta. TGF-beta 1 inhibited the production of these cytokines in a dose-related manner. The results extend the previous known activities for human rTNF-alpha and TGF-beta 1 and further demonstrate the reciprocal relationship between these two molecules in the regulation of certain immune functions. 相似文献
