Apoptosis research has been focused on several model species in the past decades, whereas studies concerned with non-mammalian vertebrate, particularly birds, have rarely been involved. In accord with requirements to expand the biodiversity of apoptotic research, a chicken embryonic fibroblasts model involving UVB (ultraviolet B) as the death stimulus was established through primary explantation and serial passage. Myriads of antioxidants can inhibit UVB-induced apoptosis by virtue of scavenging reactive oxygen species. To improve our understanding of the possible anti-apoptotic effects and mechanisms of Vitamin E against UVB-induced apoptosis in chicken embryonic fibroblasts, cells treated with Vitamin E after UVB irradiation were stained with AO/EB and Fluo-3/AM to visualize chromatin distribution and calcium homoeostasis, respectively. They were also analysed by flow cytometry to detect mitochondrial transmembrane potential, and cell cycle progression and apoptotic rates were recorded. RT-PCR was used to analyse the expression of some apoptosis-related genes. Typical apoptotic events, including cell shrinkage, blebbing and nuclear condensation, occurred after radiation. In the presence of Vitamin E following irradiation, apoptotic cells were reduced. Ca2+ release was temporarily prevented, and cell cycle arrest at S/G2 checkpoint had almost completely reverted to normal. fas decreased, while procaspase-3 remained nearly unchanged with and without Vitamin E, and bcl2/bax ratio was up-regulated, indicating possible anti-apoptotic mechanisms through the mitochondrial pathway. This new investigation of an apoptosis model involving chicken embryonic fibroblasts expands the database of knowledge across a wider spectrum of vertebrate species. 相似文献

Protein kinase Cδ (PKCδ) is an essential component of the intrinsic apoptotic program. Following DNA damage, such as exposure to UV radiation, PKCδ is cleaved in a caspase-dependent manner, generating a constitutively active catalytic fragment (PKCδ-cat), which is necessary and sufficient for keratinocyte apoptosis. We found that in addition to inducing apoptosis, expression of PKCδ-cat caused a pronounced G2/M cell cycle arrest in both primary human keratinocytes and immortalized HaCaT cells. Consistent with a G2/M arrest, PKCδ-cat induced phosphorylation of Cdk1 (Tyr15), a critical event in the G2/M checkpoint. Treatment with the ATM/ATR inhibitor caffeine was unable to prevent PKCδ-cat-induced G2/M arrest, suggesting that PKCδ-cat is functioning downstream of ATM/ATR in the G2/M checkpoint. To better understand the role of PKCδ and PKCδ-cat in the cell cycle response to DNA damage, we exposed wild-type and PKCδ null mouse embryonic fibroblasts (MEFs) to UV radiation. Wild-type MEFs underwent a pronounced G2/M arrest, Cdk1 phosphorylation, and induction of apoptosis following UV exposure, whereas PKCδ null MEFs were resistant to these effects. Expression of PKCδ-green fluorescent protein, but not caspase-resistant or kinase-inactive PKCδ, was able to restore G2/M checkpoint integrity in PKCδ null MEFs. The function of PKCδ in the DNA damage-induced G2/M cell cycle checkpoint may be a critical component of its tumor suppressor function. 相似文献

Exposure of asynchronously growing human HeLa cervical carcinoma cells to roscovitine (ROSC), a selective cyclin‐dependent kinases (CDKs) inhibitor, arrests their progression at the transition between G2/M and/or induces apoptosis. The outcome depends on the ROSC concentration. At higher dose ROSC represses HPV‐encoded E7 oncoprotein and initiates caspase‐dependent apoptosis. Inhibition of the site‐specific phosphorylation of survivin and Bad, occurring at high‐dose ROSC treatment, precedes the onset of apoptosis and seems to be a prerequisite for cell death. Considering the fact that in HeLa cells the G1/S restriction checkpoint is abolished by E7, we addressed the question whether the inhibition of CDKs by pharmacological inhibitors in synchronized cells would be able to block the cell‐cycle in G1 phase. For this purpose, we attempted to synchronize cells by serum withdrawal or by blocking of the mitotic apparatus using nocodazole. Unlike human MCF‐7 cells, HeLa cells do not undergo G1 block after serum starvation, but respond with a slight increase of the ratio of G1 population. Exposure of G1‐enriched HeLa cells to ROSC after re‐feeding does not block their cell‐cycle progression at G1‐phase, but increases the ratio of S‐ and G2‐phase, thereby mimicking the effect on asynchronously growing cells. A quite different impact is observed after treatment of HeLa cells released from mitotic block. ROSC prevents their cell cycle progression and cells transiently accumulate in G1‐phase. These results show that inhibition of CDKs by ROSC in cells lacking the G1/S restriction checkpoint has different outcomes depending on the cell‐cycle status prior to the onset of treatment. J. Cell.

There is a strong evidence that administration of antitumor drugs triggers apoptotic death of target cells. A characteristic feature of appotosis is active participation of the affected cell in its demise. Attempts have been made, therefore, to potentiate the cytotoxicity of a variety of agents by modulating the propensity of cells to respond by apoptosis. Several strategies to enhance apoptosis that involve modulation of the cell cycle or differentiation are discussed. Loss of control of the G1 checkpoint in tumor cells allows one to design treatments that arrest normal cells at the checkpoint and attempt to selectively kill tumor cells with S phase specific drugs. The possibility of a restoration of the apoptosis triggering function of the tumor suppressor gene p53 when the G1 checkpoint function is abolished is expected to increase tumor cells' sensitivity to S phase poisons. Because induction of apoptosis by many antitumor drugs is cell cycle phase specific, drug combinations that preferentially trigger apoptosis at different phases of the cycle, or recruitment of cells to the sensitive phase, offer another antitumor strategy. There is also evidence that apoptosis is potentiated when cell differentiation is triggered follwing DNA damage. This observation suggests that strategies which combine DNA damaging and differentiating drugs, under conditions where the latter are administered following DNA damage caused by the former, may be successful. 相似文献

A natural predominant flavanone naringenin, especially abundant in citrus fruits, has a wide range of pharmacological activities. The search for antiproliferative agents that reduce skin carcinoma is a task of great importance. The objective of this study was to analyze the anti-proliferative and apoptotic mechanism of naringenin using MTT assay, DNA fragmentation, nuclear condensation, change in mitochondrial membrane potential, cell cycle kinetics and caspase-3 as biomarkers and to investigate the ability to induce reactive oxygen species (ROS) initiating apoptotic cascade in human epidermoid carcinoma A431 cells. Results showed that naringenin exposure significantly reduced the cell viability of A431 cells (p<0.01) with a concomitant increase in nuclear condensation and DNA fragmentation in a dose dependent manner. The intracellular ROS generation assay showed statistically significant (p<0.001) dose-related increment in ROS production for naringenin. It also caused naringenin-mediated epidermoid carcinoma apoptosis by inducing mitochondrial depolarization. Cell cycle study showed that naringenin induced cell cycle arrest in G0/G1 phase of cell cycle and caspase-3 analysis revealed a dose dependent increment in caspase-3 activity which led to cell apoptosis. This study confirms the efficacy of naringenin that lead to cell death in epidermoid carcinoma cells via inducing ROS generation, mitochondrial depolarization, nuclear condensation, DNA fragmentation, cell cycle arrest in G0/G1 phase and caspase-3 activation. 相似文献

Shogaols have been previously reported to induce cancer cell death via multiple mechanisms, among which one analog 6-shogaol
has been reported to cause microtubule damage through specific reaction with sulfhydryl groups in tubulin. In this study,
a series of shogaols with different side chain lengths (4-, 6-, 8- and 10-shogaol) was synthesized and evaluated for antiproliferative
activity in HCT 116 colon carcinoma and SH-SY5Y neuroblastoma cells. 4- and 6-shogaol were identified as lead compounds possessing
the strongest antiproliferative activity. In the soft agar assay, the lead shogaols displayed dose-dependent inhibition on
cancer cell colony formation under anchorage-independent conditions. Using HCT 116 as the selected cancer cell line, the molecular
events linking shogaols-induced G2/M cell cycle arrest to apoptosis characterized by caspase 3 and PARP cleavage were investigated. At sublethal concentrations,
the halt at G2/M phase was alleviated along time and cells survived. Conversely, proapoptotic concentrations of 4- and 6-shogaol induced
irreversible G2/M arrest that was at least in part associated with down-regulation of cell cycle checkpoint proteins cdk1, cyclin B and cdc25C,
as well as spindle assembly checkpoint proteins mad2, cdc20 and survivin. A dose- and time-dependent accumulation of insoluble
tubulin in the insoluble fractions of cell lysates provided evidence that G2 checkpoint failure led to disruption of microtubule turnover. In summary, our results conclude that shogaols cause apoptosis
by inducing aberrant mitosis at least through the attenuation of cell cycle and spindle assembly checkpoint proteins. 相似文献

Although adipose-derived stem cells (ADSCs) have demonstrated a promising potential for the applications of cell-based therapy and regenerative medicine, excessive reactive oxygen species (ROS) are harmful to ADSCs cell survival and proliferation. Vitamin C is an important antioxidant, and is often added into culture media as an essential micronutrient. However, its roles on the proliferation of human ADSCs have not been studied. Therefore, in this study, human ADSCs were isolated, and detected by flow cytometry for the analysis of their cell surface antigens. Cell proliferation and cell cycle progression were measured with cell counting kit-8 assay and flow cytometry, respectively. Western blotting was used to detect the expression levels of cyclin E1, p53, p21, and CDK2 proteins. The effect of vitamin C pretreatment on the production of hydrogen peroxide (H2O2)-mediated ROS in the ADSCs was evaluated by flow cytometry. Our results indicated that vitamin C treatment significantly increased cell proliferation, and changed the cell cycle distribution of ADSCs by decreasing the percentage of G1 phase, and concurrently increased the percentage of S and G2/M phase. Western blot analysis indicated that vitamin C treatment up-regulated the expression levels of cyclin E1 and CDK2, but down-regulated p53 and p21 proteins expression, which contributed to cell proliferation and cell cycle progression. Vitamin C pretreatment significantly reduced the production of H2O2-induced ROS in the ADSCs. These findings suggest that vitamin C can promote the proliferation and cell cycle progression in the ADSCs possibly through regulation of p53-p21 signal pathway. 相似文献

Cell cycle arrest in G1 in response to ionizing radiation or senescence is believed to be provoked by inactivation of G1 cyclin-cyclin-dependent kinases (Cdks) by the Cdk inhibitor p21Cip1/Waf1/Sdi1. We provide evidence that in addition to exerting negative control of the G1/S phase transition, p21 may play a role at the onset of mitosis. In nontransformed fibroblasts, p21 transiently reaccumulates in the nucleus near the G2/M-phase boundary, concomitant with cyclin B1 nuclear translocation, and associates with a fraction of cyclin A-Cdk and cyclin B1-Cdk complexes. Premitotic nuclear accumulation of cyclin B1 is not detectable in cells with low p21 levels, such as fibroblasts expressing the viral human papillomavirus type 16 E6 oncoprotein, which functionally inactivates p53, or in tumor-derived cells. Moreover, synchronized E6-expressing fibroblasts show accelerated entry into mitosis compared to wild-type cells and exhibit higher cyclin A- and cyclin B1-associated kinase activities. Finally, primary embryonic fibroblasts derived from p21−/− mice have significantly reduced numbers of premitotic cells with nuclear cyclin B1. These data suggest that p21 promotes a transient pause late in G2 that may contribute to the implementation of late cell cycle checkpoint controls. 相似文献

Oxidative stress, caused by reactive oxygen species (ROS), is a major contributor to inflammatory bowel disease (IBD)‐associated neoplasia. We mimicked ROS exposure of the epithelium in IBD using non‐tumour human colonic epithelial cells (HCEC) and hydrogen peroxide (H2O2). A population of HCEC survived H2O2‐induced oxidative stress via JNK‐dependent cell cycle arrests. Caspases, p21WAF1 and γ‐H2AX were identified as JNK‐regulated proteins. Up‐regulation of caspases was linked to cell survival and not, as expected, to apoptosis. Inhibition using the pan‐caspase inhibitor Z‐VAD‐FMK caused up‐regulation of γ‐H2AX, a DNA‐damage sensor, indicating its negative regulation via caspases. Cell cycle analysis revealed an accumulation of HCEC in the G1‐phase as first response to oxidative stress and increased S‐phase population and then apoptosis as second response following caspase inhibition. Thus, caspases execute a non‐apoptotic function by promoting cells through G1‐ and S‐phase by overriding the G1/S‐ and intra‐S checkpoints despite DNA‐damage. This led to the accumulation of cells in the G2/M‐phase and decreased apoptosis. Caspases mediate survival of oxidatively damaged HCEC via γ‐H2AX suppression, although its direct proteolytic inactivation was excluded. Conversely, we found that oxidative stress led to caspase‐dependent proteolytic degradation of the DNA‐damage checkpoint protein ATM that is upstream of γ‐H2AX. As a consequence, undetected DNA‐damage and increased proliferation were found in repeatedly H2O2‐exposed HCEC. Such features have been associated with neoplastic transformation and appear here to be mediated by a non‐apoptotic function of caspases. Overexpression of upstream p‐JNK in active ulcerative colitis also suggests a potential importance of this pathway in vivo. 相似文献

Partial attenuation of cytotoxicity and apoptosis by SOD1 in ischemic renal epithelial cells 总被引:1,自引:0,他引:1

Reactive oxygen species (ROS) contribute significantly to apoptosis in renal ischemia-reperfusion (IR) injury, however the
exact mechanisms are not well understood. We used novel lentiviral vectors to over-express superoxide dismutase 1 (SOD1) in
proximal tubular epithelial (LLC-PK1) cells and determined effects of SOD1 following ATP depletion-recovery, used as a model to simulate renal IR. SOD1 over-expression
partially protected against cytotoxicity (P < 0.001) and decreased superoxide (O2
•−) in ATP depleted cells. The ATP depletion-mediated increase in nuclear fragmentation, an index of apoptosis and activation
of caspase-3 was also partially blocked by SOD1 (P < 0.05). However, SOD1 over-expression was insufficient to completely attenuate caspase-3, indicating that ROS other than
cytoplasmic O2
•− are involved in ATP depletion mediated injury. To test the contribution of hydrogen peroxide, a subset of enhanced green
fluorescent protein (EGFP) and SOD1 (serum free and injured) cells were treated with polyethylene glycol-catalase (PEG-catalase).
As expected there was 50% reduction in cytotoxicity and caspase-3 in SOD1 cells compared to EGFP cells; catalase treatment
decreased both indices by an additional 28% following ATP depletion. To test the role of mitochondrial derived superoxide,
we also treated a subset of LLC-PK1 cells with the mitochondrial antioxidant, MitoTEMPO. Treatment with MitoTEMPO also decreased ATP depletion induced cytotoxicity
in LLC-PK1 cells in a dose dependant manner. These studies indicate that both SOD1 dependent and independent pathways are integral in
protection against ATP depletion-recovery mediated cytotoxicity and apoptosis, however more studies are needed to delineate
the signaling mechanisms involved. 相似文献

The present study was undertaken to determine whether endometrial cancer cell line HEC-1-A differ from nontransformed cells, in that the cAMP and protein kinase C pathways may enhance IGF-I effects in mitogenesis by acting at the G1 phase of the cell cycle instead of G0. Immunofluorescence staining of HEC-1-A cells using the proliferating cell nuclear antigen (PCNA) monoclonal antibody and flow cytometric analysis determined that HEC-1-A cells do not enter the G0 phase of the cell cycle when incubated in a serum-free medium. Approximately 51% of the cells were in G1, 12% were in S and 37% in G2 phase of the cell cycle prior to treatment. Forskolin and phorbol-12-myristate 13-acetate (PMA) were used to stimulate cAMP production and protein kinase C activity, respectively. IGF-I, forskolin and PMA each increased (P <0.01) [3H]-thymidine incorporation in a dose and time dependent manner. The interaction of forskolin and PMA with IGF-I was then determined. Cells preincubated with forskolin or PMA followed by incubation with IFG-I incorporated significantly more (P <0.01) [3H]-thymidine into DNA than controls or any treatment alone. It is concluded that forskolin and, to a lesser extent, PMA exert their effect at the G1 phase of the cycle to enhance IGF-I effects in cell proliferation. 相似文献

Porcine cloning through somatic cell nuclear transfer (SCNT) has been widely used in biotechnology for generating animal disease models and genetically modified animals for xenotransplantation. Vitamin C is a multifunctional factor that reacts with several enzymes. In this study, we used porcine oocytes to investigate the effects of different concentrations of vitamin C on in vitro maturation (IVM), in vitro culture (IVC), and the derivation of nuclear transfer embryonic stem-like cells (NT-ESCs). We demonstrated that vitamin C promoted the cleavage and blastocyst rate of genetically modified cloned porcine embryos and improved the derivation of NT-ESCs. Vitamin C integrated into IVM and IVC enhanced cleavage and blastocyst formation (P < 0.05) in SCNT embryos. Glutathione level was increased, and reactive oxygen species levels were decreased (P < 0.05) due to vitamin C treatment. Vitamin C decreased the gene expression of apoptosis (BAX) and increased the expression of genes associated with nuclear reprogramming (NANOG, POU5F1, SOX2, c-Myc, Klf4, and TEAD4), antioxidation (SOD1), anti-apoptotic (Bcl2), and trophectoderm (CDX2). Moreover, vitamin C improved the attachment, derivation, and passaging of NT-ESCs, while the control group showed no outgrowths beyond the primary culture. In conclusion, supplementation of vitamin C at a dose of 50 µg/ml to the IVM and IVC culture media was appropriate to improve the outcomes of porcine IVM and IVC and for the derivation of NT-ESCs as a model to study the pre- and post-implantation embryonic development in cloned transgenic embryos. Therefore, we recommend the inclusion of vitamin C as a supplementary factor to IVM and IVC to improve porcine in vitro embryonic development. 相似文献

Abstract. We have demonstrated previously that SV40 T antigen and serum regulate the length of G1 in exponentially growing NIH-3T3 cells in part by inhibiting density dependent negative cell cycle regulation. In these studies it was suggested that T antigen positively regulated G1 in a density independent manner as well. In this report we show that, 24 h after treatment, TGF-β1 perturbs the cell cycle of exponentially growing fibroblasts in a manner similar to T antigen. However, prior to 24 h, TGF-β1 produced a negative response, elongating the Gi phase of the cell cycle that was followed by a positive response, both of which were density independent. This biphasic response was measured between 0 and 12 h post-treatment and was relative to responses from serum. This switch from an early inhibitory effect to a late stimulatory effect was associated with changes in Rb phosphorylation, the timing and magnitude of which indicated that Rb may be directly regulating TG1 rather than reporting changes in the population. This is further substantiated by abrogation of the inhibitory effect by expression of wild-type SV40 T antigen and retention of the effect in cells that express an Rb-binding mutant of T antigen (K1). The biphasic regulatory effects of TGF-β1 were also displayed in WI-38 and IMR-90 human fibroblasts. This suggests that this biphasic effect is a property of fibroblasts. 相似文献

Vitamin E (VE) can effectively prevent occurrence of lung cancer caused by passive smoking in mice. However, whether VE prevents smoking-induced cytotoxicity remains unclear. In this study, a primary culture of embryonic lung cells (ELCs) was used to observe the cytotoxic effects of cigarette smoke extract (CSE), including its influence on cell survival, cell cycle, apoptosis, and DNA damage, and also to examine the effects of VE intervention on CSE-induced cytotoxicity. Our results showed that CSE could significantly inhibit the survival of ELCs with dose- and time-dependent effects. Furthermore, CSE clearly disturbed the cell cycle of ELCs by decreasing the proportion of cells at the S and G?/M phases and increasing the proportion of cells at the G?/G? phase. CSE promoted cell apoptosis, with the highest apoptosis rate reaching more than 40%. CSE also significantly caused DNA damage of ELCs. VE supplementation could evidently inhibit or reverse the cytotoxic effects of CSE in a dose- and time-dependent manner. The mechanism of CSE effects on ELCs and that of VE intervention might involve the mitochondrial pathway of cytochrome c-mediated caspase activation. Our study validate that VE plays a clearly protective effect against CSE-induced cytotoxicity in mouse embryonic lung cells. 相似文献

The objective of this study was to investigate the differential effects of various selenium (Se) compounds and Se-enriched broccoli extracts on cell proliferation and the possible mechanism responsible for the Se-induced growth inhibition. C6 rat glial cells were incubated with graded concentrations up to 1000 nM of selenite, selenate, selenomethionine (SeM), Se-methyl-selenocysteine (SeMCys), high-Se broccoli (H-SeB) extract or low-Se broccoli (L-SeB) extract for 24 and 48 h. MTT results indicated that all Se sources and levels examined inhibited C6 cell proliferation at 48 h. The results from cell cycle progression and apoptosis analysis indicated that SeM, SeMCys, H-SeB or L-SeB treatments at the concentration of 1000 nM reduced the cell population in G0/G1 phase, but induced G2/M phase arrest and increased apoptosis and secondary necrosis in C6 cells at 24 h. The populations of apoptotic cells and secondary necrotic cells were increased by all Se sources examined. The COMET assay indicated that there was no significant DNA single-strand break found for all Se treatments in C6 cells for 48 h. In addition, the Se-induced proliferation inhibition may involve a hydrogen peroxide (H2O2)-dependent mechanism with elevated cellular glutathione peroxidase (cGPX) activity. Both H-SeB and L-SeB inhibited C6 cell proliferation but H-SeB was less inhibitory than L-SeB. The proliferation inhibition by H-SeB in C6 cells is apparently related to the increased H2O2 with the elevated cGPX activity, but the inhibition by L-SeB was H2O2-independent without change in cGPX activity. 相似文献

Accumulating evidence suggests that Bcl-xL, an anti-apoptotic member of the Bcl-2 family, also functions in cell cycle progression and cell cycle checkpoints. Analysis of a series of phosphorylation site mutants reveals that cells expressing Bcl-xL(Ser62Ala) mutant are less stable at the G2 checkpoint and enter mitosis more rapidly than cells expressing wild-type Bcl-xL or Bcl-xL phosphorylation site mutants, including Thr41Ala, Ser43Ala, Thr47Ala, Ser56Ala and Thr115Ala. Analysis of the dynamic phosphorylation and location of phospho-Bcl-xL(Ser62) in unperturbed, synchronized cells and during DNA damage-induced G2 arrest discloses that a pool of phospho-Bcl-xL(Ser62) accumulates into nucleolar structures in etoposide-exposed cells during G2 arrest. In a series of in vitro kinase assays, pharmacological inhibitors and specific siRNAs experiments, we found that Polo kinase 1 and MAPK9/JNK2 are major protein kinases involved in Bcl-xL(Ser62) phosphorylation and accumulation into nucleolar structures during the G2 checkpoint. In nucleoli, phospho-Bcl-xL(Ser62) binds to and co-localizes with Cdk1(cdc2), the key cyclin-dependent kinase required for entry into mitosis. These data indicate that during G2 checkpoint, phospho-Bcl-xL(Ser62) stabilizes G2 arrest by timely trapping of Cdk1(cdc2) in nucleolar structures to slow mitotic entry. It also highlights that DNA damage affects the dynamic composition of the nucleolus, which now emerges as a piece of the DNA damage response. 相似文献

Damaged DNA binding protein 1, DDB1, bridges an estimated 90 or more WD40 repeats (DDB1-binding WD40, or DWD proteins) to the CUL4-ROC1 catalytic core to constitute a potentially large number of E3 ligase complexes. Among these DWD proteins is the human immunodeficiency virus type 1 (HIV-1) Vpr-binding protein VprBP, whose cellular function has yet to be characterized but has recently been found to mediate Vpr-induced G2 cell cycle arrest. We demonstrate here that VprBP binds stoichiometrically with DDB1 through its WD40 domain and through DDB1 to CUL4A, subunits of the COP9/signalsome, and DDA1. The steady-state level of VprBP remains constant during interphase and decreases during mitosis. VprBP binds to chromatin in a DDB1-independent and cell cycle-dependent manner, increasing from early S through G2 before decreasing to undetectable levels in mitotic and G1 cells. Silencing VprBP reduced the rate of DNA replication, blocked cells from progressing through the S phase, and inhibited proliferation. VprBP ablation in mice results in early embryonic lethality. Conditional deletion of the VprBP gene in mouse embryonic fibroblasts results in severely defective progression through S phase and subsequent apoptosis. Our studies identify a previously unknown function of VprBP in S-phase progression and suggest the possibility that HIV-1 Vpr may divert an ongoing chromosomal replication activity to facilitate viral replication. 相似文献
