Modulation of the DNA repair pathway is an emerging target for the development of anticancer drugs. DNA interstrand cross-links (ICLs), one of the most severe forms of DNA damage caused by anticancer drugs such as cisplatin and mitomycin C (MMC), activates the Fanconi anemia (FA)/BRCA DNA repair pathway. Inhibition of the FA/BRCA pathway can enhance the cytotoxic effects of ICL-inducing anticancer drugs and can reduce anticancer drug resistance. To find FA/BRCA pathway inhibitory small molecules, we established a cell-based high-content screening method for quantitating the activation of the FA/BRCA pathway by measuring FANCD2 foci on DNA lesions and then applied our method to chemical screening. Using commercial LOPAC1280 chemical library screening, ouabain was identified as a competent FA/BRCA pathway inhibitory compound. Ouabain, a member of the cardiac glycoside family, binds to and inhibits Na+/K+-ATPase and has been used to treat heart disease for many years. We observed that ouabain, as well as other cardiac glycoside family members―digitoxin and digoxin―down-regulated FANCD2 and FANCI mRNA levels, reduced monoubiquitination of FANCD2, inhibited FANCD2 foci formation on DNA lesions, and abrogated cell cycle arrest induced by MMC treatment. These inhibitory activities of ouabain required p38 MAPK and were independent of cellular Ca2+ ion increase or the drug uptake-inhibition effect of ouabain. Furthermore, we found that ouabain potentiated the cytotoxic effects of MMC in tumor cells. Taken together, we identified an additional effect of ouabain as a FA/BRCA pathway-inhibiting chemosensitization compound. The results of this study suggest that ouabain may serve as a chemosensitizer to ICL-inducing anticancer drugs. 相似文献

Cardiotonic steroid (CTS) ouabain is a well‐established inhibitor of Na,K‐ATPase capable of inducing signalling processes including changes in the activity of the mitogen activated protein kinases (MAPK) in various cell types. With increasing evidence of endogenous CTS in the blood and cerebrospinal fluid, it is of particular interest to study ouabain‐induced signalling in neurons, especially the activation of MAPK, because they are the key kinases activated in response to extracellular signals and regulating cell survival, proliferation and apoptosis. In this study we investigated the effect of ouabain on the level of phosphorylation of three MAPK (ERK1/2, JNK and p38) and on cell survival in the primary culture of rat cerebellar cells. Using Western blotting we described the time course and concentration dependence of phosphorylation for ERK1/2, JNK and p38 in response to ouabain. We discovered that ouabain at a concentration of 1 μM does not cause cell death in cultured neurons while it changes the phosphorylation level of the three MAPK: ERK1/2 is phosphorylated transiently, p38 shows sustained phosphorylation, and JNK is dephosphorylated after a long‐term incubation. We showed that ERK1/2 phosphorylation increase does not depend on ouabain‐induced calcium increase and p38 activation. Changes in p38 phosphorylation, which is independent from ERK1/2 activation, are calcium dependent. Changes in JNK phosphorylation are calcium dependent and also depend on ERK1/2 and p38 activation. Ten‐micromolar ouabain leads to cell death, and we conclude that different effects of 1‐μM and 10‐μM ouabain depend on different ERK1/2 and p38 phosphorylation profiles.

p38 mitogen-activated protein kinase (MAPK) acts downstream in the signaling pathway that includes receptor activator of NF-κB (RANK), a powerful inducer of osteoclast formation and activation. We investigated the role of p38 MAPK in parathyroid hormone related protein (PTHrP)-induced osteoclastogenesis in vitro and PTHrP-induced bone resorption in vivo. The ability of FR167653 to inhibit osteoclast formation was evaluated by counting the number of tartrate-resistant acid phosphatase positive multinucleated cells (TRAP-positive MNCs) in in vitro osteoclastgenesis assays. Its mechanisms were evaluated by detecting the expression level of c-Fos and nuclear factor of activated T cells c1 (NFATc1) in bone marrow macrophages (BMMs) stimulated with sRANKL and M-CSF, and by detecting the expression level of osteoprotegerin (OPG) and RANKL in bone marrow stromal cells stimulated with PTHrP in the presence of FR167653. The function of FR167653 on bone resorption was assessed by measuring the bone resorption area radiographically and by counting osteoclast number per unit bone tissue area in calvaria in a mouse model of bone resorption by injecting PTHrP subcutaneously onto calvaria. Whole blood ionized calcium levels were also recorded. FR167653 inhibited PTHrP-induced osteoclast formation and PTHrP-induced c-Fos and NFATc1 expression in bone marrow macrophages, but not the expression levels of RANKL and OPG in primary bone marrow stromal cells treated by PTHrP. Furthermore, bone resorption area and osteoclast number in vivo were significantly decreased by the treatment of FR167653. Systemic hypercalcemia was also partially inhibited. Inhibition of p38 MAPK by FR167653 blocks PTHrP-induced osteoclastogenesis in vitro and PTHrP-induced bone resorption in vivo, suggesting that the p38 MAPK signaling pathway plays a fundamental role in PTHrP-induced osteoclastic bone resorption. 相似文献

Ulcerative colitis-associated colorectal cancer (UC-CRC) is the most serious complication of ulcerative colitis (UC). Nuclear factor of activated T cells 3 (NFATc3) is participated in inflammation and cancer. In this study, we investigated the effects of NFATc3 on experimental UC-CRC in vivo and in vitro, and explored the underlying mechanisms. Administration of azoxymethane (AOM) and dextran sulfate sodium (DSS) induced UC-CRC model in C57BL/6 mice. Body weight was monitored weekly. Colon tissues were harvested at week 14. We examined changes in the histopathology, inflammatory cytokines, carcinogenesis factors, and epithelial-mesenchymal transition (EMT) markers in colon tissues. We found that NFATc3 expression was significantly up-regulated in AOM/DSS treated mice compared with control. Mice lacking NFATc3 showed decreased tumor number and size, decreased mucosal damage, and increased survival rate. Moreover, down-regulation of NFATc3 could inhibit the proliferation and EMT of UC-CRC, decrease the levels of pro-inflammatory cytokines, reduce the colonic infiltration by neutrophils and macrophages, and suppress the activation of P38 and JNK signal pathway in mice. In In vitro experiments, silencing NFATc3 suppressed the proliferation and EMT of CRC cells, and reduced the activation of P38 and JNK. In addition, miR-370-3p could bind to NFATc3. Down-regulation of miR-370-3p promoted proliferation and EMT of CRC cells, while silencing NFATc3 could reverse these effects. In conclusion, NFATc3 was involved in the pathogenesis of experimental UC-CRC and NFATc3 knockdown ameliorated experimental UC-CRC progression via the inhibition of inflammatory responses and EMT. NFATc3 mediated the inhibitory effects of miR-370-3p on CRC cells proliferation and EMT. Targeting NFATc3 may be effective in treating UC-CRC. 相似文献

Background
Leptospiral glycolipoprotein (GLP) is a potent and specific Na/K-ATPase inhibitor. Severe pulmonary form of leptospirosis is characterized by edema, inflammation and intra-alveolar hemorrhage having a dismal prognosis. Resolution of edema and inflammation determines the outcome of lung injury. Na/K-ATPase activity is responsible for edema clearance. This enzyme works as a cell receptor that triggers activation of mitogen-activated protein kinase (MAPK) intracellular signaling pathway. Therefore, injection of GLP into lungs induces injury by triggering inflammation.Methods
We injected GLP and ouabain, into mice lungs and compared their effects. Bronchoalveolar lavage fluid (BALF) was collected for cell and lipid body counting and measurement of protein and lipid mediators (PGE2 and LTB4). The levels of the IL-6, TNFα, IL-1B and MIP-1α were also quantified. Lung images illustrate the injury and whole-body plethysmography was performed to assay lung function. We used Toll-like receptor 4 (TLR4) knockout mice to evaluate leptospiral GLP-induced lung injury. Na/K-ATPase activity was determined in lung cells by nonradioactive rubidium incorporation. We analyzed MAPK p38 activation in lung and in epithelial and endothelial cells.Results
Leptospiral GLP and ouabain induced lung edema, cell migration and activation, production of lipid mediators and cytokines and hemorrhage. They induced lung function alterations and inhibited rubidium incorporation. Using TLR4 knockout mice, we showed that the GLP action was not dependent on TLR4 activation. GLP activated of p38 and enhanced cytokine production in cell cultures which was reversed by a selective p38 inhibitor.Conclusions
GLP and ouabain induced lung injury, as evidenced by increased lung inflammation and hemorrhage. To our knowledge, this is the first report showing GLP induces lung injury. GLP and ouabain are Na/K-ATPase targets, triggering intracellular signaling pathways. We showed p38 activation by GLP-induced lung injury, which was may be linked to Na/K-ATPase inhibition. Lung inflammation induced by GLP was not dependent on TLR4 activation. 相似文献10.

Gadd45alpha inhibits the activation of p38 by the T cell alternative pathway involving phosphorylation of p38 Tyr(323). Given that T cell p38 may play a role in Th1 development, the response to Th-skewing Ags was analyzed in Gadd45alpha(-/-) mice. Despite constitutively increased p38 activity in Gadd45alpha(-/-) T cells, the Th1 immune response to Toxoplasma gondii Ag (STAg), was diminished. In contrast to T cells, dendritic cells (DC) lacked the alternative p38 activation pathway. Gadd45alpha(-/-) DCs responded to STAg with low levels of MAP kinase cascade-dependent p38 activation, IL-12 production, and CD40 expression. Wild-type T cells transferred into Gadd45alpha(-/-) recipients had a diminished Th1 response to STAg, whereas Gadd45alpha(-/-) T cells transferred into wild-type hosts behaved normally. Therefore, Gadd45alpha has tissue-specific and opposing functions on p38 activity, and Gadd45alpha-regulated p38 activation in DCs is a critical event in Th1 polarization in vivo. 相似文献

The aim of present study was to elucidate the role of TAB1 in nitric oxide-induced activation of p38 MAPK. For this purpose we over-expressed TAB1 in insulin-producing beta-TC6 cells. We observed in cells transiently over-expressing TAB1 that p38 activation was enhanced in response to DETA/NONOate. A lowering of TAB1 levels, using the siRNA technique, resulted in the opposite effect. The DETA/NONOate-induced cell death rate was increased in cells transiently overexpressing TAB1. In stable beta-TC6 cell clones with very high TAB1 levels p38 phosphorylation was enhanced also at basal conditions. DETA/NONOate increased also the phosphorylation of JNK and ERK in beta-TC6 cells, but these events were not affected by TAB1. Interestingly, the inhibitory effect of SB203580 on p38 phosphorylation was paralleled by a stimulatory effect on JNK phosphorylation and an inhibitory effect on ERK phosphorylation. In summary, we propose that TAB1 promotes nitric oxide-induced p38 autophosphorylation. In addition, nitric oxide-induced p38 activation seems to promote JNK inhibition and ERK activation, but this effect appears to not require TAB1. A better understanding of how the TAB1/p38 pathway promotes beta-cell death in response to nitric oxide might help in the development of novel pharmacological approaches in the treatment of diabetes. 相似文献

We have previously shown that lovastatin, an HMG-CoA reductase inhibitor, induces apoptosis in rat brain neuroblasts. c-Jun N-terminal kinase (JNK) and p38 mitogen-activated protein kinase (MAPK) are implicated in regulation of neuronal apoptosis. In this work, we investigated the role of JNK and p38 MAPK in neuroblast apoptosis induced by lovastatin. We found that lovastatin induced the activation of JNK, but not p38 MAPK. It also induced c-Jun phosphorylation with a subsequent increase in activator protein-1 (AP-1) binding, AP-1-mediated gene expression and BimEL protein levels. The effects of lovastatin were prevented by mevalonate. Pre-treatment with iJNK-I (a selective JNK inhibitor) prevented the effect of lovastatin on both neuroblast apoptosis and the activation of the JNK cascade. Furthermore, we found that the activation of the JNK signalling pathway triggered by lovastatin is accompanied by caspase-3 activation which is also inhibited by iJNK-I pre-treatment. Finally, a specific inhibitor of p38 MAPK, SB203580, had no effect on lovastatin-induced neuroblast apoptosis. Taken together, our data suggest that the activation of the JNK/c-Jun/BimEL signalling pathway plays a crucial role in lovastatin-induced neuroblast apoptosis. Our findings may also contribute to elucidate the intracellular mechanisms involved in the central nervous system side effects associated with statin therapy. 相似文献

An increase in cellular levels of cyclic nucleotides activates serine/threonine-dependent kinases that lead to diverse physiological effects. Recently we reported the activation of the p38 mitogen-activated protein kinase (MAPK) pathway in neutrophils by a cGMP-dependent mechanism. In this study we demonstrated that exogenously supplied nitric oxide leads to activation of p38 MAPK in 293T fibroblasts. Phosphorylation of p38 corresponded with an increase in ATF-2-dependent gene expression. The effect of nitric oxide was mimicked by addition of 8-bromo-cGMP, indicating that activation of soluble guanylyl cyclase was involved. The importance of cGMP-dependent protein kinase in the activation of p38 MAPK by nitric oxide in 293T cells was assessed in a transfection based assay. Overexpression of cGMP-dependent protein kinase-1alpha caused phosphorylation of p38 in these cells and potentiated the effectiveness of cGMP. Overexpression of a catalytically inactive mutant form of this enzyme (T516A) blocked the ability of both nitric oxide and 8-bromo-cGMP to activate p38 as measured by both p38 phosphorylation and ATF-2 driven gene expression. Together, these data demonstrate that nitric oxide stimulates a novel pathway leading to activation of p38 MAPK that requires activation of cGMP-dependent protein kinase. 相似文献

Nuclear factor-kappaB (NF-kappaB) is the main target of anti-inflammatory therapies in human chronic inflammatory bowel diseases (IBD), Crohn disease, and ulcerative colitis. This study investigates the molecular anti-inflammatory mechanisms of SB203580, an inhibitor of the mitogen-activated protein kinase p38. The murine trinitrobenzene sulfonic acid (TNBS)-induced colitis was used as an established model of human Crohn disease. Here we show that SB203580 improved the clinical condition, reduced intestinal inflammation, and suppressed mRNA levels of pro-inflammatory cytokines elevated upon induction of colitis. Besides p38 kinase activity, the "classical" IkappaB-dependent NF-kappaB pathway was strongly up-regulated during colitis induction, whereas the "alternative" was not. SB203580 treatment resulted in a drastic down-regulation of p38 and NF-kappaB activity. The molecular analysis of NF-kappaB activation revealed that Rip-like interacting caspase-like apoptosis-regulatory protein kinase (RICK), a key component of a pathway leading to NF-kappaB induction, is also strongly inhibited by SB203580. In contrast, SB203580 had no effect on the colitis-induced activation of other potential NF-kappaB-activating kinases such as protein kinase C (PKC), mixed lineage kinase 3, and the oncogene product Cot/TPL2. Thus, the inhibitory effect of SB203580 on NF-kappaB activation is to a large extent mediated by RICK inhibition. RICK is the effector kinase of the intracellular receptor of bacterial peptidoglycan NOD. Because bacterial products are suggested to be the key pathogenic agents triggering IBD, inhibition of the NOD/RICK pathway may serve as a novel target of future therapies in human IBD. 相似文献

Ouabain and other cardiotonic steroids (CTS) kill renal epithelial cells from distal tubules (C7-MDCK) via interaction with
Na,K-ATPase but independently of inhibition of Na,K-ATPase-mediated ion fluxes. Recently, we demonstrated that modest intracellular
acidification and inhibition of p38 MAPK suppress death of C7-MDCK cells triggered by ouabain. In the present study we investigate
the mechanism of p38 MAPK activation in renal epithelial cell from distal tubules evoked by cardiotonic steroids. Using Na+/K+ ionophores (monensin, nigericin) and media with different content of monovalent cations, we revealed that p38 MAPK phosphorylation
in ouabain-treated renal epithelial cells is not caused by Na,K-ATPase inhibition and inversion of the [Na+]i/[K+]i ratio. We also demonstrated that attenuation of pH from 7.45 to 6.75 did not alter the level of p38 MAPK phosphorylation
observed in ouabain-treated cells. Inhibitors of PKA, PKC, and PKG as well as protein phosphatases were unable to abolish
p38 MAPK activation triggered by ouabain. Using phosphotyrosine antibodies we did not detect any effect of ouabain on activation
of tyrosine kinases. Thus, our results show that activation of p38 MAPK and cytotoxic action of CTS are independent of intracellular
Na+, K+, and H+ concentrations. The molecular origin of intermediates of death signaling induced by CTS via conformation changes of Na,K-ATPase
with following activation of p38 MAPK should be examined further. 相似文献
