PPARgamma ligands inhibit growth and induce apoptosis of various cancer cells. 4-Hydroxynonenal (HNE), a product of lipid peroxidation, inhibits proliferation and induces differentiation or apoptosis in neoplastic cells. The aim of this work was to investigate the effects of PPARgamma ligands (rosiglitazone and 15-deoxy-prostaglandin J2 (15d-PGJ2)) and HNE, alone or in association, on proliferation, apoptosis, differentiation, and growth-related and apoptosis-related gene expression in colon cancer cells (CaCo-2 cells). PPARgamma ligands inhibited cell proliferation (IC50 was 37.47+/-6.6 microM, for 15d-PGJ2, and 170.34+/-20 microM for rosiglitazone). HNE (1 microM) inhibited cell growth by 70%. Apoptosis was induced by 15d-PGJ2 and HNE and, to a minor extent, rosiglitazone. Differentiation was induced by rosiglitazone and by 15d-PGJ2, but not by HNE. PPARgamma ligands inhibited c-myc expression. HNE induced a transitory increase in c-myc expression and a subsequent down-regulation. HNE induced p21 expression, whereas PPARgamma ligands did not. Expression of the bax gene was increased by HNE and 15d-PGJ2, but not by rosiglitazone. No synergism or antagonism was found between HNE and PPARgamma ligands. Both apoptosis and differentiation induction may be responsible for the inhibition of proliferation by PPARgamma ligands; apoptosis and c-myc and p21 expression seem to be involved in the inhibition of proliferation by HNE.  相似文献

Peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor gamma (PPARgamma) ligands have been shown to inhibit the effects of proinflammatory cytokines such as interleukin-1beta (IL-1beta). This cytokine plays a key role in articular pathophysiologies by inducing the production of inflammatory mediators such as nitric oxide (NO) and prostaglandin E(2) (PGE(2)). We previously demonstrated that 15d-PGJ(2) was more potent than troglitazone to counteract IL-1beta effects on chondrocytes. Here, we studied the action of 15d-PGJ(2) on intracellular targets in nuclear factor-kappaB (NF-kappaB) signalling pathway in IL-1beta treated rat chondrocytes. We found that 15d-PGJ(2) decreased inhibitor kappaBalpha (IkappaBalpha) degradation but not its phosphorylation by specifically inhibiting IkappaB kinase beta (IKKbeta), but not IKKalpha, enzymatic activity. We further evaluated the involvement of PPARgamma in the anti-inflammatory action of its ligands. In chondrocytes overexpressing functional PPARgamma protein, 15d-PGJ(2) pre-treatment inhibited inducible NO synthase and COX-2 mRNA expression, nitrite and PGE(2) production, p65 translocation and NF-kappaB activation. Troglitazone or rosiglitazone pre-treatment had no effect. 15d-PGJ(2) exhibited the same effect in chondrocytes overexpressing mutated PPARgamma protein. These results suggest that 15d-PGJ(2) exerts its anti-inflammatory effect in rat chondrocytes by a PPARgamma-independent mechanism, which can be conferred to a partial inhibition of IkappaBalpha degradation.  相似文献

Smad2 is an important factor in TGFbeta/Smad2 signal transduction pathway with ability for signal propagation, it could translocate from cytoplasm to nucleus after the TGFbeta receptor-mediated phosphorylation. 15-deoxy-delta(12,14)-prostaglandin J2 (15d-PGJ2), a natural agonist of the peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor gamma (PPARgamma), is found recently to be able to function in the regulation of Smad2 activity. However, no quantification data have been yet reported, and it still keeps suspenseful whether or not 15d-PGJ2 could regulate Smad2 activity by depending on PPARgamma through PPAR gamma/TGFbeta/ Smad2 pathway. In this work, by analyzing the EGFP-Smad2 location in CHO cells according to the Nucleus Trafficking Analysis Module based on IN Cell Analyzer 1000 platform, TGFbeta stimulated EGFP-Smad2 translocation regulated by 15d-PGJ2 was quantitatively investigated. The results showed that TGFbeta could induce EGFP-Smad2 translocation from cytoplasm to nucleus by EC50 of 8.83 pM, and 15d-PGJ2 could impede the TGFbeta-stimulated Smad2 translocation by IC50 of 0.68 microM. Moreover, GW9662, a PPARgamma antagonist, could attenuate such a 15d-PGJ2 inhibitory activity by almost one order of magnitude. This result thereby implies that 15d-PGJ2 might inhibit Smad2 translocation through PPARgamma/TGFbeta/Smad2 pathway. Further investigation discovered that different from the case for 15d-PGJ2, rosiglitazone, another PPARgamma agonist, could enhance Smad2 translocation to nucleus, suggesting that rosiglitazone and 15d-PGJ(2) might take different modes in the activation of PPARgamma within the signaling pathway.  相似文献

In response to inflammatory cytokines, chondrocytes and synovial fibroblasts produce high amounts of prostaglandins (PG) which self-perpetuate locally the inflammatory reaction. Prostaglandins act primarily through membrane receptors coupled to G proteins but also bind to nuclear Peroxisome Proliferator-Activated Receptors (PPARs). Amongst fatty acids, the cyclopentenone metabolite of PGD2, 15-deoxy-Delta12,14PGJ2 (15d-PGJ2), was shown to be a potent ligand of the PPARgamma isotype prone to inhibit the production of inflammatory mediators. As the stimulated synthesis of PGE2 originates from the preferential coupling of inducible enzymes, cyclooxygenase-2 (COX-2) and membrane PGE synthase-1 (mPGES-1), we investigated the potency of 15d-PGJ2 to regulate prostaglandins synthesis in rat chondrocytes stimulated with interleukin-1beta (IL-1beta). We demonstrated that 15d-PGJ2, but not the high-affinity PPARgamma ligand rosiglitazone, decreased almost completely PGE2 synthesis and mPGES-1 expression. The inhibitory potency of 15d-PGJ2 was unaffected by changes in PPARgamma expression and resulted from inhibition of NF-kappaB nuclear binding and IkappaBalpha sparing, secondary to reduced phosphorylation of IKKbeta. Consistently with 15d-PGJ2 being a putative endogenous regulator of the inflammatory reaction if synthesized in sufficient amounts, the present data confirm the variable PPARgamma-dependency of its effects in joint cells while underlining possible species and cell types specificities.  相似文献

Microsomal prostaglandin E synthase (mPGES)-1 is a newly identified inducible enzyme of the arachidonic acid cascade with a key function in prostaglandin (PG)E2 synthesis. We investigated the kinetics of inducible cyclo-oxygenase (COX)-2 and mPGES-1 expression with respect to the production of 6-keto-PGF1alpha and PGE2 in rat chondrocytes stimulated with 10 ng/ml IL-1beta, and compared their modulation by peroxisome-proliferator-activated receptor (PPAR)gamma agonists. Real-time PCR analysis showed that IL-1beta induced COX-2 expression maximally (37-fold) at 12 hours and mPGES-1 expression maximally (68-fold) at 24 hours. Levels of 6-keto-PGF1alpha and PGE2 peaked 24 hours after stimulation with IL-1beta; the induction of PGE2 was greater (11-fold versus 70-fold, respectively). The cyclopentenone 15-deoxy-Delta12,14prostaglandin J2 (15d-PGJ2) decreased prostaglandin synthesis in a dose-dependent manner (0.1 to 10 microM), with more potency on PGE2 level than on 6-keto-PGF1alpha level (-90% versus -66% at 10 microM). A high dose of 15d-PGJ2 partly decreased COX-2 expression but decreased mPGES-1 expression almost completely at both the mRNA and protein levels. Rosiglitazone was poorly effective on these parameters even at 10 microM. Inhibitory effects of 10 microM 15d-PGJ2 were neither reduced by PPARgamma blockade with GW-9662 nor enhanced by PPARgamma overexpression, supporting a PPARgamma-independent mechanism. EMSA and TransAM analyses demonstrated that mutated IkappaBalpha almost completely suppressed the stimulating effect of IL-1beta on mPGES-1 expression and PGE2 production, whereas 15d-PGJ2 inhibited NF-kappaB transactivation. These data demonstrate the following in IL-1-stimulated rat chondrocytes: first, mPGES-1 is rate limiting for PGE2 synthesis; second, activation of the prostaglandin cascade requires NF-kappaB activation; third, 15d-PGJ2 strongly inhibits the synthesis of prostaglandins, in contrast with rosiglitazone; fourth, inhibition by 15d-PGJ2 occurs independently of PPARgamma through inhibition of the NF-kappaB pathway; fifth, mPGES-1 is the main target of 15d-PGJ2.  相似文献

We have previously shown that non-pathogenic Gram-negative Bacteroides vulgatus induces transient RelA phosphorylation (Ser-536), NF-kappaB activity, and pro-inflammatory gene expression in native and intestinal epithelial cell (IEC) lines. We now demonstrate that 15-deoxy-Delta(12,14)-prostaglandin J(2) (15d-PGJ(2)) but not prostaglandin E(2) inhibits lipopolysaccharide (LPS) (B. vulgatus)/LPS (Escherichia coli)-induced RelA phosphorylation and interleukin-6 gene expression in the colonic epithelial cell line CMT-93. This inhibitory effect of 15d-PGJ(2) was mediated independently of LPS-induced IkappaBalpha phosphorylation/degradation and RelA nuclear translocation as well as RelA DNA binding activity. Interestingly, although B. vulgatus induced nuclear expression of peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor gamma (PPARgamma) in native epithelium of monoassociated Fisher rats, PPARgamma-specific knock-down in CMT-93 cells using small interference RNA failed to reverse the inhibitory effects of PPARgamma agonist 15d-PGJ(2), suggesting PPARgamma-independent mechanisms. In addition, 15d-PGJ(2) but not the synthetic high affinity PPARgamma ligand rosiglitazone triggered ERK1/2 phosphorylation in IEC, and most importantly, MEK1 inhibitor PD98059 reversed the inhibitory effect of 15dPGJ(2) on LPS-induced RelA phosphorylation and interleukin-6 gene expression. Calyculin A, a specific phosphoserine/phospho-threonine phosphatase inhibitor increased the basal phosphorylation of RelA and reversed the inhibitory effect of 15d-PGJ(2) on LPS-induced RelA phosphorylation. We further demonstrated in co-immunoprecipitation experiments that 15d-PGJ(2) triggered protein phosphatase 2A activity, which directly dephosphorylated RelA in LPS-stimulated CMT-93 cells. We concluded that 15d-PGJ(2) may help to control NF-kappaB signaling and normal intestinal homeostasis to the enteric microflora by modulating RelA phosphorylation in IEC through altered protein phosphatase 2A activity.  相似文献

There is growing evidence to show that hepatic oval cells contribute to liver regeneration, dysplastic nodule formation, and hepato-carcinogenesis. Peroxisome proliferator-activated receptors (PPARs) and their ligands play an important role in cell growth, inflammatory responses, and liver pathogenesis including fibrosis and cancer. However, little is known about the role of PPARgamma/its ligands in the growth and differentiation of hepatic oval cells. In this study, we found that OC15-5, a rat hepatic oval cell line, expressed PPARgamma at mRNA and protein levels, and a natural ligand for PPARgamma, 15-deoxy-Delta12,14-prostaglandin J2 (15d-PGJ2), and a synthetic ligand, ciglitazone, inhibited growth of OC15-5 cells by arresting at G1-S in a dose-dependent manner. Apoptosis was also induced in OC15-5 cells by 15d-PGJ2 treatment. In OC15-5 cells treated with 15d-PGJ2, the expression of CDK inhibitor, p27(Kip1), was up-regulated, while that of p21(WAF1/Cip1), p18(INK4C) CDK2, CDK4, and cyclin E was unchanged. In addition, delayed up-regulation of AFP expression was observed in OC15-5 cells after 15d-PGJ2 or ciglitazone treatment. This is the first report to show that the PPARgamma ligand was involved in the growth, cell cycle, and differentiation of hepatic oval cells, raising the possibility that the PPARgamma ligands may regulate liver regeneration and hepato-carcinogenesis.  相似文献

Peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor gamma (PPARgamma) is a member of the nuclear receptor superfamily that is activated by binding certain fatty acids, eicosanoids, and insulin-sensitizing thiazolidinediones (TZD). The TZD troglitazone (TRO) inhibits vascular smooth muscle cell proliferation and migration both in vitro and in vivo. The precise mechanism of its antiproliferative activity, however, has not been elucidated. We report here that PPARgamma ligands inhibit rat aortic vascular smooth muscle cell proliferation by blocking the events critical for G(1) --> S progression. Flow cytometry demonstrated that both TRO and another TZD, rosiglitazone, prevented G(1) --> S progression induced by platelet-derived growth factor and insulin. Movement of cells from G(1) --> S was also inhibited by the non-TZD, natural PPARgamma ligand 15-deoxy-(12,14)Delta prostaglandin J(2) (15d-PGJ(2)), and the mitogen-activated protein kinase pathway inhibitor PD98059. Inhibition of G(1) --> S exit by these compounds was accompanied by a substantial blockade of retinoblastoma protein phosphorylation. TRO and rosiglitazone attenuated both the mitogen-induced degradation of p27(kip1) and the mitogenic induction of p21(cip1). 15d-PGJ(2) and PD98059 inhibited both the degradation of p27(kip1) and the induction of cyclin D1 in response to mitogens. These effects resulted in the inhibition of mitogenic stimulation of cyclin-dependent kinases activated by cyclins D1 and E. These data demonstrate that PPARgamma ligands are antiproliferative drugs that act by modulating cyclin-dependent kinase inhibitors; they may provide a new therapeutic approach for proliferative vascular diseases.  相似文献

Peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor gamma (PPARgamma) is an important therapeutic drug target against several diseases such as diabetes, inflammation, dyslipidemia, hypertension, and cancer. Ligand binding to PPARgamma is responsible for controlling the biological functions, and developing new technology to measure ligand-PPARgamma binding is significant for both the function study of the receptor and ligand discovery. In this study, we exploited an efficient approach for the discovery of PPARgamma agonist and antagonist via a yeast two-hybrid system based on the fact that PPARgamma interacts with the coactivator CBP (CREP-binding protein) ligand-dependently. We employed the MEL1 reporter gene instead of the traditionally used LacZ gene to evaluate the protein-protein interactions by conducting a convenient alpha-galactosidase assay in the yeast strain AH109 with genes of PPARgamma-LBD (ligand-binding domain) and CBP N terminus introduced. With this built screening platform, the EC(50) values of the PPARgamma agonists rosiglitazone, troglitazone, pioglitazone, indomethacin, 15-deoxy-Delta12,14-prostaglandin J(2) (15d-PGJ(2)), and GI262570 were investigated, and the quantitatively antagonistic effect by IC(50) of the PPARgamma typical antagonist GW9662 on the rosiglitazone agonistic activity was fully examined. The reliability of this presented system evaluated by the comparable agreement of EC(50) and IC(50) values for the test compounds with the reported ones indicated that this yeast two-hybrid-based approach is powerful for PPARgamma agonist and antagonist screening. In addition, because this screening system is designed for use in a microtiter plate format where numerous chemicals could be readily screened, it is hoped that this yeast two-hybrid screening approach may be adaptable for high-throughput settings.  相似文献

Ligands for peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor gamma (PPARgamma), such as 15-deoxy-12,14-PGJ2 (15d-PGJ2), have been proposed as a new class of anti-inflammatory compounds because 15d-PGJ2 was able to inhibit the induction of inflammatory response genes such as inducible NO synthase (iNOS) and TNF (TNF-alpha) in a PPAR-dependent manner in various cell types. In primary astrocytes, the anti-inflammatory effects (inhibition of TNF-alpha, IL-1beta, IL-6, and iNOS gene expression) of 15d-PGJ2 are observed to be independent of PPARgamma. Overexpression (wild-type and dominant-negative forms) of PPARgamma and its antagonist (GW9662) did not alter the 15d-PGJ2-induced inhibition of LPS/IFN-gamma-mediated iNOS and NF-kappaB activation. The 15d-PGJ2 inhibited the inflammatory response by inhibiting IkappaB kinase activity, which leads to the inhibition of degradation of IkappaB and nuclear translocation of p65, thereby regulating the NF-kappaB pathway. Moreover, 15d-PGJ2 also inhibited the LPS/IFN-gamma-induced PI3K-Akt pathway. The 15d-PGJ2 inhibited the recruitment of p300 by NF-kappaB (p65) and down-regulated the p300-mediated induction of iNOS and NF-kappaB luciferase reporter activity. Coexpression of constitutive active Akt and PI3K (p110) reversed the 15d-PGJ2-mediated inhibition of p300-induced iNOS and NF-kappaB luciferase activity. This study demonstrates that 15d-PGJ2 suppresses inflammatory response by inhibiting NF-kappaB signaling at multiple steps as well as by inhibiting the PI3K/Akt pathway independent of PPARgamma in primary astrocytes.  相似文献

The common commercial use of phthalate esters has resulted in significant human exposure to these bioactive compounds. The facts that phthalate ester metabolites, like endogenous PGs, are peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor (PPAR) agonists, and that PPARgamma agonists induce lymphocyte apoptosis suggest that phthalate esters are immunosuppressants that could act together with PGs to modulate early B cell development. In this study we examined the effects of a metabolite of one environmental phthalate, mono(2-ethylhexyl)phthalate (MEHP), and 15-deoxy-Delta(12,14)-PGJ(2) (15d-PGJ(2)), on developing B cells. MEHP inhibited [(3)H]thymidine incorporation by primary murine bone marrow B cells and a nontransformed murine pro/pre-B cell line (BU-11). Cotreatment with a retinoid X receptor alpha ligand, 9-cis-retinoic acid, decreased [(3)H]thymidine incorporation synergistically, thereby implicating activation of a PPARgamma-retinoid X receptor alpha complex. These results were similar to those obtained with the natural PPARgamma ligand 15d-PGJ(2). At moderate MEHP concentrations (25 or 100 microM for primary pro-B cells and a pro/pre-B cell line, respectively), inhibition of [(3)H]thymidine incorporation resulted primarily from apoptosis induction, whereas at lower concentrations, the inhibition probably reflected growth arrest without apoptosis. Cotreatment of bone marrow B cells with 15d-PGJ(2) and MEHP significantly enhanced the inhibition of [(3)H]thymidine incorporation seen with MEHP alone, potentially mimicking exposure in the bone marrow microenvironment where PG concentrations are high. Finally, MEHP- and 15d-PGJ(2)-induced death does not result from a decrease in NF-kappaB activation. These data demonstrate that environmental phthalates can cooperate with an endogenous ligand, 15d-PGJ(2), to inhibit proliferation of and induce apoptosis in developing bone marrow B cells, potentially via PPARgamma activation.  相似文献

The activation of peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor gamma (PPARgamma) has been shown to inhibit the production and the effects of proinflammatory cytokines. Since interleukin-1beta (IL-1beta) directly mediates cartilage degradation in osteoarthritis, we investigated the capability of PPARgamma ligands to modulate IL-1beta effects on human chondrocytes. RT-PCR and Western blot analysis revealed that PPARgamma expression was decreased by IL-1beta. 15-deoxy-Delta12,14-prostaglandin J2 (15d-PGJ2), in contrast to troglitazone, was highly potent to counteract IL-1beta-induced cyclooxygenase-2 and inductible nitric oxide synthase expression, NO production and the decrease in proteoglycan synthesis. Western blot and gel-shift analyses demonstrated that 15d-PGJ2 inhibited NF-kappaB activation, while troglitazone was ineffective. Although 15d-PGJ2 attenuated activator protein-1 binding on the DNA, it potentiated c-jun migration in the nucleus. The absence or the low effect of troglitazone suggests that 15d-PGJ2 action in human chondrocytes is mainly PPARgamma-independent.  相似文献
