Bone metastasis caused by breast cancer leads to significant complications in treatment, and the resulting osteolysis considerably affects patients’ overall survival and quality of life. Gö6983 is a broad spectrum protein kinase C inhibitor. In this study, based on our finding that the Gö6983 inhibits osteolysis, we applied Gö6983 to the MDA‐MB‐231 breast cancer‐induced mouse bone metastasis model. And we found that Gö6983 has a strong inhibitory effect on the tumorigenic model of breast cancer by promoting the mitochondrial apoptosis pathway. Our study, therefore, demonstrates that Gö6983 has a potential inhibitory effect on breast cancer‐induced osteoclast activation and provides mechanistic insight that may prove useful for designing future treatments. 相似文献

The current work planned to assess the protecting properties of nimbolide against doxorubicin (DOX)‐treated myocardial damage. Myocardial damage was produced with 2.5 mg/kg of DOX given on alternative days (14 days). Thiobarbituric acid reactive substances (TBARS) levels of a lipid peroxidative marker were elevated, whereas reduced body weight, heart weight, blood pressure indices and reduced levels of antioxidants like glutathione‐S‐transferase, superoxide dismutase, catalase, glutathione peroxidase, glutathione, and glutathione reductase were observed in the heart tissue of DOX‐treated animals. DOX‐treated animals showed augmented levels of cardiac markers likes monocyte chemotactic protein‐1, interferon‐gamma, aspartate transferase, creatine kinase, lactate dehydrogenase, creatine kinase‐muscle/brain, heart‐type fatty acid‐binding protein, glycogen phosphorylase isoenzyme BB, transforming growth factor‐β, brain natriuretic peptide, myoglobin, and cTnI in serum. Histopathological assessment confirmed the DOX‐induced cardiotoxicity. Furthermore, DOX‐induced rats showed augmented inflammatory mediators (nuclear factor‐κB [NF‐kB], tumor necrosis factor‐α [TNF‐α], and interleukin‐1β [IL‐1β]) and increased PI3K/Akt signaling proteins (PI3K, p‐Bad/Bad, caspase‐3, and p‐Akt), whereas decreased oxidative markers (HO‐1 and NQO‐1) and p‐PTEN were observed. Nimbolide‐supplemented rats showed reduced activity/levels of cardiac markers and TBARS levels in serum and heart tissue. Levels of enzymatic and nonenzymatic antioxidants were augmented in the heart tissue of nimbolide‐supplemented rats. Nimbolide influence decreased apoptosis, inflammation, and enhanced antioxidant markers through the modulation of p‐Bad/Bad, caspase‐3, PI3K, p‐Akt, TNF‐α, NF‐kB, IL‐1β, HO‐1, NQO‐1, and p‐PTEN markers. The histopathological explanations were observed to be in line with biochemical analysis. Therefore, the finding of current work was that nimbolide has a defensive effect on the myocardium against DOX‐induced cardiac tissue damage. 相似文献

Oxidative stress appears to play a role in the pathogenesis of diabetes mellitus erectile dysfunction (DMED). This study aimed to investigate the effect of N‐acetylcysteine (NAC) on DMED in streptozotocin‐induced diabetic mice and to explore potential mechanisms. In the present study, we show that an erectile dysfunction is present in the streptozotocin‐induced mouse model of diabetes as indicated by decreases in intracavernous pressure responses to electro‐stimulation as well as from results of the apomorphine test of erectile function. After treatment of NAC, the intracavernous pressure was increased. In these DMED mice, oxidative stress and inflammatory responses were significantly reduced within the cavernous microenvironment, while activity of antioxidant enzymes in this cavernous tissue was enhanced after NAC treatment. These changes protected mitochondrial stress damage and a significant decreased in apoptosis within the cavernous tissue of DMED mice. This appears to involve activation of the nuclear factor erythroid 2‐like‐2 (Nrf2) signalling pathway, as well as suppression of the mitogen‐activated protein kinase (MAPK) p38/ NF‐κB pathway within cavernous tissue. In conclusion, NAC can improve erectile function through inhibiting oxidative stress via activating Nrf2 pathways and reducing apoptosis in streptozotocin‐induced diabetic mice. NAC might provide a promising therapeutic strategy for individuals with DMED. 相似文献

Doxorubicin (DXR) is a highly effective drug for chemotherapy. However, cardiotoxicity reduces its clinical utility in humans. The present study aimed to assess the ameliorative effect of curcumin against DXR‐induced cardiotoxicity in rats. Rats were subjected to oral treatment of curcumin (100 and 200 mg/kg body weight) for 7 days. Cardiotoxicity was induced by single intraperitoneal injection of DXR (40 mg/kg body weight) on the 5th day and the rats sacrificed on 8th day. Curcumin ameliorated DXR‐induced lipid peroxidation, glutathione depletion, decrease in antioxidant (superoxide dismutase, catalase, and glutathione peroxidase) enzyme activities, and cardiac toxicity markers (CK‐MB, LDH, and cTn‐I). Curcumin also attenuated activities of Caspase‐3, cyclooxygenase‐2, inducible nitric oxide synthase, and levels of nuclear factor kappa‐B, tumor necrosis factor‐α, and interleukin‐1β, and cardiac tissue damages that were induced by DXR. Moreover, curcumin decreased the expression of 8‐OHdG and 3,3′‐dityrosine. This study demonstrated that curcumin has a multi‐cardioprotective effect due to its antioxidant, anti‐inflammatory, and antiapoptotic properties. 相似文献

Abnormal lipid metabolism, such as systemic increased free fatty acid, results in overproduction of pro‐inflammatory enzymes and cytokines, which is crucial in the development of obesity‐related osteoarthritis (OA). However, there are only a few drugs that target the lipotoxicity of OA. Recent researches have documented that the traditional Chinese medicine, Sparstolonin B (Ssn B), exerted anti‐inflammatory effects in various diseases, but not yet in OA. On the basis of this evidence, our works purposed to evaluate the effect of Ssn B on free fatty acid (FFA) palmitate (PA)‐stimulated human osteoarthritic chondrocytes and obesity‐associated mouse OA model. We found that Ssn B suppressed PA‐triggered inflammatory response and extracellular matrix catabolism in a concentration‐dependent approach. In vivo, Ssn B treatment inhibited cartilage degeneration and subchondral bone calcification caused by joint mechanical imbalance and alleviated metabolic inflammation in obesity. Mechanistically, co‐immunoprecipitine and molecular docking analysis showed that the formation of tolllike receptor 4 (TLR4)/myeloid differentiation protein‐2 (MD‐2) complex caused by PA was blocked by Ssn B. Subsequently, it leads to inactivation of PA‐caused myeloid differentiation factor 88 (MyD88)‐dependent nuclear factor‐kappaB (NF‐κB) cascade. Together, these findings demonstrated that Ssn B is a potential treatment agent for joint degenerative diseases in obese individuals. 相似文献

Gallic acid has been reported to mitigate cardiac hypertrophy, fibrosis and arterial hypertension. The effects of syringic acid, a derivative of gallic acid, on cardiac hypertrophy and fibrosis have not been previously investigated. This study aimed to examine the effects of syringic acid on isoproterenol‐treated mice and cells. Syringic acid mitigated the isoproterenol‐induced upregulation of heart weight to bodyweight ratio, pathological cardiac remodelling and fibrosis in mice. Picrosirius red staining, quantitative real‐time polymerase chain reaction (qRT‐PCR) and Western blotting analyses revealed that syringic acid markedly downregulated collagen accumulation and fibrosis‐related factors, including Fn1. The results of RNA sequencing analysis of Ereg expression were verified using qRT‐PCR. Syringic acid or transfection with si‐Ereg mitigated the isoproterenol‐induced upregulation of Ereg, Myc and Ngfr. Ereg knockdown mitigated the isoproterenol‐induced upregulation of Nppb and Fn1 and enhancement of cell size. Mechanistically, syringic acid alleviated cardiac hypertrophy and fibrosis by downregulating Ereg. These results suggest that syringic acid is a potential therapeutic agent for cardiac hypertrophy and fibrosis. 相似文献

Identification, exploration and scientific validation of antioxidant rich herbal extracts to mitigate the radical induced cell damage provide new insights in the field of ayurvedic research/therapies. In the present study, we evaluated the anti-oxidant and anti-apoptotic potential of Celastrus paniculatus seed extract (CPSE) against tertiary butyl hydroperoxide (t-BHP) induced mice muscle cell damage. The extract at a dose of 50 µg/ml protected the cells up to 70 % as evidenced by the 3-(4,5-dimethylthiazol-2-yl)-2,5-diphenyltetrazolium bromide cell survival assay and also prevented LDH leakage against t-BHP induced cytotoxicity. CPSE showed potential antioxidant activity by restoring mitochondrial membrane potential and inhibited reactive oxygen species generation and lipid peroxidation. CPSE pretreatment also regulated the antioxidant markers such as superoxide dismutase and catalase enzymes content and proteins expression. Further CPSE showed anti-apoptotic effects by regulating cytochrome-C and heat shock protein-70 expression and also showed 43 % muscle cell DNA damage inhibitory activity against t-BHP challenge as observed by single cell gel electrophoresis assay. Overall the extract inhibits the muscle cell damage, thus explaining the possible anti-oxidant/anti-apoptotic defense status of the C. paniculatus seed extract. 相似文献

Myocardial injury is a frequently occurring complication of sepsis. This study aims to investigate the molecular mechanism of long noncoding RNA (lncRNA) small nucleolar RNA host gene 1 (SNHG1)‐mediated DNA methyltransferase 1/B‐cell lymphoma‐2 (DNMT1/Bcl‐2) axis in sepsis‐induced myocardial injury. Mice and HL‐1 cells were treated with lipopolysaccharide (LPS) to establish animal and cellular models simulating sepsis and inflammation. LncRNA SNHG1 was screened out as a differentially expressed lncRNA in sepsis samples through microarray profiling, and the upregulated expression of lncRNA SNHG1 was confirmed in myocardial tissues of LPS‐induced septic mice and HL‐1 cells. Further experiments suggested that silencing of lncRNA SNHG1 reduced the inflammation and apoptotic rate of LPS‐induced HL‐1 cells. LncRNA SNHG1 inhibited Bcl‐2 expression by recruiting DNMT1 to Bcl‐2 promoter region to cause methylation. Inhibition of Bcl‐2 promoter methylation reduced the inflammation and apoptotic rate of LPS‐induced HL‐1 cells. In vivo experiments substantiated that lncRNA SNHG1 silencing alleviated sepsis‐induced myocardial injury in mice. Taken together, lncRNA SNHG1 promotes LPS‐induced myocardial injury in septic mice by downregulating Bcl‐2 through DNMT1‐mediated Bcl‐2 methylation. 相似文献

Doxorubicin (Dox), an anthracycline antibiotic with potent antitumor effects, has limited clinical applications due to cumulative cardiotoxicity. Ca2+/calmodulin‐dependent protein kinase II (CaMKII) is implicated in the pathological progression of Dox‐induced cardiotoxicity. This study examined the hypothesis that CaMKII exacerbates Dox‐induced cardiotoxicity by promoting endoplasmic reticulum stress and apoptosis through regulation of the inositol‐requiring enzyme 1α (IRE1α)/spliced X‐box binding protein 1 (XBP1s) pathway. Our results demonstrated that CaMKII activation and IRE1α/XBP1s pathway were involved in Dox‐treated hearts. CaMKII inhibition with KN‐93 ameliorated Dox‐induced cardiac dysfunction and pathological myocardial changes. In addition, CaMKII inhibition prevented Dox‐induced endoplasmic reticulum stress and apoptosis. Moreover, CaMKII inhibition increased the expression of IRE1α and XBP1s in Dox‐treated hearts. The IRE1α inhibitor 4μ8C blocked the protective effect of CaMKII inhibition against Dox‐induced cardiotoxicity. Mechanistically, 4μ8C prevented the effects of CaMKII inhibition on Dox‐induced endoplasmic reticulum stress and apoptosis by inhibiting the expression of IRE1α and XBP1s. Additionally, treatment with rhADAMTS13 decreased the protein level of thrombospondin 1 (TSP1) and the phosphorylation of CaMKII in Dox‐treated human AC16 cardiomyocytes. Taken together, these results demonstrate that the ADAMTS13‐TSP1 axis regulates CaMKII activation and exacerbates Dox‐induced cardiotoxicity by triggering endoplasmic reticulum stress and apoptosis by inhibiting the IRE1α/XBP1s pathway. 相似文献

Tendinopathy is mainly characterized by local pain, functional limitation and decreased athletic ability, which seriously affects the quality of life of patients and the career of athletes. Farrerol (FA), one of the main active compounds extracted from Rhododendron and plants in the Rhododendron family, has a wide range of pharmacological activities, such as immunomodulatory, anti‐inflammatory and antiviral effects. However, the effect of FA on tendinopathy is unclear. Here, we investigated the pharmacological effect and mechanism of FA in tendon injury through collagenase‐induced tendinopathy in vivo and RSL3‐induced tenocytes injury in vitro. The results showed that FA alleviated the infiltration of inflammatory cells, promoted tenogenesis and improved mechanical properties of the Achilles tendon in rats. In addition, ferroptosis inducer RSL3 inhibits the tenogenesis in vitro and in vivo, which accelerates the progression of tendinopathy. Moreover, FA effectively inhibited iron accumulation and alleviated ferroptosis in the Achilles tendon. Using in vitro experiments, we found that FA antagonized ferroptosis by reducing lipid peroxidation and iron accumulation in tenocytes. Finally, we found that glutathione peroxidase 4 silencing could block the protective effect of FA on ferroptosis of tenocytes. Therefore, the results of this study suggest that FA can relieve collagenase‐induced tendinopathy by inhibiting ferroptosis, and reveal that FA may be a potentially effective drug for the treatment of tendinopathy in the future. 相似文献

Acute kidney injury (AKI) is often secondary to sepsis. Increasing evidence suggests that mitochondrial dysfunction contributes to the pathological process of AKI. In this study, we aimed to examine the regulatory roles of Sirt3 in Lipopolysaccharide (LPS)‐induced mitochondrial damage in renal tubular epithelial cells (TECs). Sirt3 knockout mice were intraperitoneally injected with LPS, and cultured TECs were stimulated with LPS to evaluate the effects of Sirt3 on mitochondrial structure and function in TECs. Electron microscopy was used to assess mitochondrial morphology. Immunofluorescence staining was performed to detect protein expression and examine mitochondrial morphology. Western blotting was used to quantify protein expression. We observed that LPS increased apoptosis, induced disturbances in mitochondrial function and dynamics, and downregulated Sirt3 expression in a sepsis‐induced AKI mouse model and human proximal tubular (HK‐2) cells in vitro. Sirt3 deficiency further exacerbated LPS‐induced renal pathological damage, apoptosis and disturbances in mitochondrial function and dynamics. On the contrary, Sirt3 overexpression in HK‐2 cells alleviated these lesions. Functional studies revealed that Sirt3 overexpression alleviated LPS‐induced mitochondrial damage and apoptosis in TECs by promoting OPA1‐mediated mitochondrial fusion through the deacetylation of i‐AAA protease (YME1L1), an upstream regulatory molecule of OPA1. Our study has identified Sirt3 as a vital factor that protects against LPS‐induced mitochondrial damage and apoptosis in TECs via the YME1L1‐OPA1 signaling pathway.In a physiological state, Sirt3 has a certain deacetylation effect on YME1L1, and YME1L1 deacetylation can promote OPA1‐mediated mitochondrial fusion, so that mitochondrial fusion and fission are in a balanced state. When sepsis‐induced AKI occurs, the expression of Sirt3 is reduced, resulting in a decrease in the deacetylation level of YME1L1 and a decrease in the expression of L‐OPA, which in turn reduces mitochondrial fusion and increases fission, ultimately leading to mitochondrial dysfunction and apoptosis. 相似文献

Lipopolysaccharide (LPS)‐induced sepsis‐associated acute kidney injury (SA‐AKI) is a model of clinical serious care syndrome, with high morbidity and mortality. Tacrolimus (TAC), a novel immunosuppressant that inhibits inflammatory response, plays a pivotal role in kidney diseases. In this study, LPS treated mice and cultured podocytes were used as the models of SA‐AKI in vivo and in vitro, respectively. Medium‐ and high‐dose TAC administration significantly attenuated renal function and renal pathological manifestations at 12, 24 and 48 h after LPS treatment in mice. Moreover, the Toll‐like receptor 4 (TLR4)/myeloid differential protein‐88 (MyD88)/nuclear factor‐kappa (NF‐κB) signalling pathway was also dramatically inhibited by medium‐ and high‐dose TAC administration at 12, 24 and 48 h of LPS treatment mice. In addition, TAC reversed LPS‐induced podocyte cytoskeletal injury and podocyte migratory capability. Our findings indicate that TAC has protective effects against LPS‐induced AKI by inhibiting TLR4/MyD88/NF‐κB signalling pathway and podocyte dysfunction, providing another potential therapeutic effects for the LPS‐induced SA‐AKI. 相似文献

Doxorubicin (DOX), one useful chemotherapeutic agent, is limited in clinical use because of its serious cardiotoxicity. Growing evidence suggests that angiotensin receptor blockers (ARBs) have cardioprotective effects in DOX‐induced cardiomyopathy. However, the detailed mechanisms underlying the action of ARBs on the prevention of DOX‐induced cardiomyocyte cell death have yet to be investigated. Our results showed that angiotensin II receptor type I (AT1R) plays a critical role in DOX‐induced cardiomyocyte apoptosis. We found that MAPK signaling pathways, especially ERK1/2, participated in modulating AT1R gene expression through DOX‐induced mitochondrial ROS release. These results showed that several potential heat shock binding elements (HSE), which can be recognized by heat shock factors (HSFs), located at the AT1R promoter region. HSF2 markedly translocated from the cytoplasm to the nucleus when cardiomyocytes were damaged by DOX. Furthermore, the DNA binding activity of HSF2 was enhanced by DOX via deSUMOylation. Overexpression of HSF2 enhanced DOX‐induced cardiomyocyte cell death as well. Taken together, we found that DOX induced mitochondrial ROS release to activate ERK‐mediated HSF2 nuclear translocation and AT1R upregulation causing DOX‐damaged heart failure in vitro and in vivo. 相似文献

Persistent cardiac Ca2+/calmodulin‐dependent Kinase II (CaMKII) activation was considered to promote heart failure (HF) development, some studies believed that CaMKII was a target for therapy of HF. However, CaMKII was an important mediator for the ischaemia‐induced coronary angiogenesis, and new evidence confirmed that angiogenesis inhibited cardiac remodelling and improved heart function, and some conditions which impaired angiogenesis aggravated ventricular remodelling. This study aimed to investigate the roles and the underlying mechanisms of CaMKII inhibitor in cardiac remodelling. First, we induced cardiac remodelling rat model by ISO, pre‐treated by CaMKII inhibitor KN‐93, evaluated heart function by echocardiography measurements, and performed HE staining, Masson staining, Tunel staining, Western blot and RT‐PCR to test cardiac remodelling and myocardial microvessel density; we also observed ultrastructure of cardiac tissue with transmission electron microscope. Second, we cultured HUVECs, pre‐treated by ISO and KN‐93, detected cell proliferation, migration, tubule formation and apoptosis, and carried out Western blot to determine the expression of NOX2, NOX4, VEGF, VEGFR2, p‐VEGFR2 and STAT3; mtROS level was also measured. In vivo, we found KN‐93 severely reduced myocardial microvessel density, caused apoptosis of vascular endothelial cells, enhanced cardiac hypertrophy, myocardial apoptosis, collagen deposition, aggravated the deterioration of myocardial ultrastructure and heart function. In vitro, KN‐93 inhibited HUVECs proliferation, migration and tubule formation, and promoted apoptosis of HUVECs. The expression of NOX2, NOX4, p‐VEGFR2 and STAT3 were down‐regulated by KN‐93; mtROS level was severely reduced by KN‐93. We concluded that KN‐93 impaired angiogenesis and aggravated cardiac remodelling and heart failure via inhibiting NOX2/mtROS/p‐VEGFR2 and STAT3 pathways. 相似文献

Liver steatosis is associated with increased ischaemia reperfusion (I/R) injury. Our previous studies have shown that irisin, an exercise‐induced hormone, mitigates I/R injury via binding to αVβ5 integrin. However, the effect of irisin on I/R injury in steatotic liver remains unknown. Kindlin‐2 directly interacts with β integrin. We therefore suggest that irisin protects against I/R injury in steatotic liver via a kindlin‐2 dependent mechanism. To study this, hepatic steatosis was induced in male adult mice by feeding them with a 60% high‐fat diet (HFD). At 12 weeks after HFD feeding, the mice were subjected to liver ischaemia by occluding partial (70%) hepatic arterial/portal venous blood for 60 minutes, which was followed by 24 hours reperfusion. Our results showed HFD exaggerated I/R‐induced liver injury. Irisin (250 μg/kg) administration at the beginning of reperfusion attenuated liver injury, improved mitochondrial function, and reduced oxidative and endoplasmic reticulum stress in HFD‐fed mice. However, kindlin‐2 inhibition by RNAi eliminated irisin''s direct effects on cultured hepatocytes. In conclusion, irisin attenuates I/R injury in steatotic liver via a kindlin‐2 dependent mechanism. 相似文献

Radiation‐induced lung injury (RILI) mainly contributes to the complications of thoracic radiotherapy. RILI can be divided into radiation pneumonia (RP) and radiation‐induced lung fibrosis (RILF). Once RILF occurs, patients will eventually develop irreversible respiratory failure; thus, a new treatment strategy to prevent RILI is urgently needed. This study explored the therapeutic effect of pirfenidone (PFD), a Food and Drug Administration (FDA)‐approved drug for (IPF) treatment, and its mechanism in the treatment of RILF. In vivo, C57BL/6 mice received a 50 Gy dose of X‐ray radiation to the whole thorax with or without the administration of PFD. Collagen deposition and fibrosis in the lung were reversed by PFD treatment, which was associated with reduced M2 macrophage infiltration and inhibition of the transforming growth factor‐β1 (TGF‐β1)/Drosophila mothers against the decapentaplegic 3 (Smad3) signalling pathway. Moreover, PFD treatment decreased the radiation‐induced expression of TGF‐β1 and phosphorylation of Smad3 in alveolar epithelial cells (AECs) and vascular endothelial cells (VECs). Furthermore, IL‐4–induced M2 macrophage polarization and IL‐13–induced M2 macrophage polarization were suppressed by PFD treatment in vitro, resulting in reductions in the release of arginase‐1 (ARG‐1), chitinase 3‐like 3 (YM‐1) and TGF‐β1. Notably, the PFD‐induced inhibitory effects on M2 macrophage polarization were associated with downregulation of nuclear factor kappa‐B (NF‐κB) p50 activity. Additionally, PFD could significantly inhibit ionizing radiation‐induced chemokine secretion in MLE‐12 cells and consequently impair the migration of RAW264.7 cells. PFD could also eliminate TGF‐β1 from M2 macrophages by attenuating the activation of TGF‐β1/Smad3. In conclusion, PFD is a potential therapeutic agent to ameliorate fibrosis in RILF by reducing M2 macrophage infiltration and inhibiting the activation of TGF‐β1/Smad3. 相似文献
