Reactive oxygen species (ROS) are important mediators of cell growth, adhesion, differentiation, migration, senescence, and apoptosis. ROS play an important physiological role in regulating vascular tone and can also contribute to pathological mechanisms related to endothelial dysfunction, vascular reactivity, arterial remodeling, and vascular inflammation. The major source of ROS generated in the cardiovascular system is the NADPH oxidase (NOX) family of enzymes, of which seven members have been characterized. Although each NOX family member is typified by six transmembrane domains along with a cytoplasmic domain that binds NADPH and FAD, each isoform is distinguished by the specific catalytic subunit, interacting proteins, and subcellular localization. We review the current understanding of NOX signaling and regulatory mechanisms related to vascular health and disease.  相似文献

Background

Human multipotent mesenchymal stromal cells (MSC) can be isolated from various tissues including bone marrow. Here, MSC participate as bone lining cells in the formation of the hematopoietic stem cell niche. In this compartment, the oxygen tension is low and oxygen partial pressure is estimated to range from 1% to 7%. We analyzed the effect of low oxygen tensions on human MSC cultured with platelet-lysate supplemented media and assessed proliferation, morphology, chromosomal stability, immunophenotype and plasticity.

Results

After transferring MSC from atmospheric oxygen levels of 21% to 1%, HIF-1α expression was induced, indicating efficient oxygen reduction. Simultaneously, MSC exhibited a significantly different morphology with shorter extensions and broader cell bodies. MSC did not proliferate as rapidly as under 21% oxygen and accumulated in G1 phase. The immunophenotype, however, was unaffected. Hypoxic stress as well as free oxygen radicals may affect chromosomal stability. However, no chromosomal abnormalities in human MSC under either culture condition were detected using high-resolution matrix-based comparative genomic hybridization. Reduced oxygen tension severely impaired adipogenic and osteogenic differentiation of human MSC. Elevation of oxygen from 1% to 3% restored osteogenic differentiation.

Conclusion

Physiologic oxygen tension during in vitro culture of human MSC slows down cell cycle progression and differentiation. Under physiological conditions this may keep a proportion of MSC in a resting state. Further studies are needed to analyze these aspects of MSC in tissue regeneration.  相似文献

In addition to the induction of cell proliferation and migration, bradykinin (BK) can increase c-fos mRNA expression, activate ERK 1/2 and generate reactive oxygen species (ROS) in vascular smooth muscle cells (VSMC). It is not known, however, whether BK can induce cellular proliferation and extracellular matrix production via redox-sensitive signaling pathways. We investigated the role(s) of ROS in proliferation, migration and collagen synthesis induced by BK in VSMC derived from Sprague Dawley rat aorta. BK (10 nM) increased VSMC proliferation by 30% (n=5); this proliferation was inhibited by the antioxidants N-acetylcysteine (20 mM) and alpha-lipoic acid (LA, 250 mM). In addition, BK induced an increase in cell migration and in collagen levels that were blocked by LA. ROS production induced by BK (n=10) was significantly inhibited by bisindolylmaleimide (4microM) and by PD98059 (40microM). These results suggest that: 1) ROS participate in the mechanism(s) used by bradykinin to induce cellular proliferation; 2) bradykinin induces ROS generation through a pathway that involves the kinases PKC and MEK; and 3) ROS participate in the pathways mediating cell migration and the production of collagen as a response to treatment with bradykinin. To our knowledge, this is the first report describing mechanisms to explain the participation of ROS in the cellular proliferation and extracellular matrix pathway regulated by BK.  相似文献

It is widely thought that accumulation of reactive oxygen species (ROS) causes injury to cells. In this study, we investigated the effect of endogenous ROS on the proliferation of neural stem/progenitor cells derived from the hippocampus of embryonic mice. The cells were treated with free radical-scavenging agents [3-methyl-1-phenyl-2-pyrazolin-5-one (edaravone) or 4-hydroxy-2,2,6,6-tetramethylpiperidine 1-oxyl (tempol)], an NADPH oxidase inhibitor (apocynin), catalase, a nitric oxide synthase inhibitor [Nω-nitro-l-arginine methyl ester hydrochloride (L-NAME)] or a peroxynitrite generator (SIN-1) during the culture period. Edaravone and tempol had the ability to decrease endogenous ROS in the cells exposed for periods from 1 to 24 h, with attenuation of the proliferation activity of the cells during culture. Apocynin and L-NAME were also effective in attenuating cell proliferation but not cellular damage. Conversely, SIN-1 was capable of promoting the proliferation activity. However, catalase had no effect on the proliferation activity of the cells during culture. Furthermore, tempol significantly decreased the level of NFκB p65, phospho-cyclic AMP response element-binding protein, and β-catenin within the nucleus of the cells. These data suggest that endogenous ROS and nitric oxide are essential for the proliferation of embryonic neural stem/progenitor cells.  相似文献

Apoptosis-induced proliferation (AiP) maintains tissue homeostasis following massive stress-induced cell death. During this phenomenon, dying cells induce proliferation of the surviving cells to compensate for the tissue loss, and thus restore organ size. Along with wound healing and tissue regeneration, AiP also contributes to tumor repopulation following radiation or chemotherapy. There are several models of AiP. Using an “undead” AiP model that causes hyperplastic overgrowth of Drosophila epithelial tissue, we recently demonstrated that extracellular reactive oxygen species (eROS) are produced by undead epithelial cells, and are necessary for inducing AiP and overgrowth. Furthermore, hemocytes, the Drosophila blood cells, are seen adjacent to the undead epithelial tissue, and may secrete the TNF ortholog Eiger that signals through the TNF receptor to active Jun-N-terminal kinase (JNK) in the undead tissue and induce proliferation. We propose that undead epithelial tissue triggers an inflammatory response that resembles recruitment of macrophages to human epithelial tumors, and that these tumor-associated macrophages release signals for proliferation and tumor growth of the epithelium. This Extra View article summarizes these recent findings with a focus on the role of eROS for promoting regeneration and inflammation-induced tumorigenesis.  相似文献

Isoalantolactone, a sesquiterpene lactone compound possesses antifungal, antibacteria, antihelminthic and antiproliferative activities. In the present study, we found that isoalantolactone inhibits growth and induces apoptosis in pancreatic cancer cells. Further mechanistic studies revealed that induction of apoptosis is associated with increased generation of reactive oxygen species, cardiolipin oxidation, reduced mitochondrial membrane potential, release of cytochrome c and cell cycle arrest at S phase. N-Acetyl Cysteine (NAC), a specific ROS inhibitor restored cell viability and completely blocked isoalantolactone-mediated apoptosis in PANC-1 cells indicating that ROS are involved in isoalantolactone-mediated apoptosis. Western blot study showed that isoalantolactone increased the expression of phosphorylated p38 MAPK, Bax, and cleaved caspase-3 and decreased the expression of Bcl-2 in a dose-dependent manner. No change in expression of phosphorylated p38 MAPK and Bax was found when cells were treated with isoalantolactone in the presence of NAC, indicating that activation of these proteins is directly dependent on ROS generation. The present study provides evidence for the first time that isoalantolactone induces ROS-dependent apoptosis through intrinsic pathway. Furthermore, our in vivo toxicity study demonstrated that isoalantolactone did not induce any acute or chronic toxicity in liver and kidneys of CD1 mice at dose of 100 mg/kg body weight. Therefore, isoalantolactone may be a safe chemotherapeutic candidate for the treatment of human pancreatic carcinoma.  相似文献

Recent studies implicate reactive oxygen species (ROS) such as superoxide anions and H(2)O(2) in the proliferation of systemic vascular smooth muscle cells (SMCs). However, the role of ROS in SMC proliferation within the pulmonary circulation remains unclear. We investigated the effects of endothelin-1 (ET-1), a potential SMC mitogen, on ROS production and proliferation of fetal pulmonary artery SMCs (FPASMCs). Exposure to ET-1 resulted in increases in superoxide production and viable FPASMCs after 72 h. These increases were prevented by pretreatment with PD-156707. Treatment with pertussis toxin blocked the effects of ET-1, whereas cholera toxin stimulated superoxide production and increased viable cell numbers even in the absence of ET-1. Wortmannin, LY-294002, diphenyleneiodonium (DPI), 4-(2-aminoethyl)benzenesulfonyl fluoride, and apocynin also prevented the ET-1-mediated increases in superoxide production and viable cell numbers. Exposure to H(2)O(2) or diethyldithiocarbamate increased viable cell number by 37% and 50%, respectively. Conversely, ascorbic acid and DPI decreased viable cell number, which appeared to be due to an increase in programmed cell death. Our data suggest that ET-1 exerts a mitogenic effect on FPASMCs via an increase in ROS production and that antioxidants can block this effect via induction of apoptosis. Antioxidant treatment may therefore represent a potential therapy for pulmonary vascular diseases.  相似文献

It has been shown that a decrease in oxygen tension during cultivation of multipotent mesenchymal stromal cells (MMSCs) caused a short-term decline in the proportion of CD73+ cells in the population, with no effect on the number of cells expressing the other constitutive surface markers (CD90, CD105). The heterogeneity of the cell population declined: large spread cells disappeared. The proliferative activity of MMSCs significantly increased and remained stable under conditions close to tissue oxygen levels (5% O2). At lower oxygen concentration, it is gradually reduced from the third to fourth passages. The increase in proliferative activity was not accompanied by increased telomerase gene expression, which indicated that no cell transformation had occurred. Global gene expression analysis of MMSC gene expression revealed changes in expression of cyclins (CCND2, PCNA), regulatory subunit cyclin-dependent kinase (CKS2), and an inhibitor of cyclin-dependent kinases 4 and 6 (CDKN2C) regulating the cell cycle, which probably facilitated the proliferative activity of cells at lower oxygen tension.  相似文献

Oxidative stress has been known to be involved in the mechanism of toxic effects of various agents on many cellular systems. In this study we investigated the role of reactive oxygen species (ROS) in 2,3,7,8-tetrachlorodibenzo- p -dioxin (TCDD)-induced neuronal cell toxicity using SK-N-SH human neuroblastoma cells. TCDD inhibited proliferation of the cells in a dose-dependent manner, which was revealed by MTT staining, counting of cells stained with trypan blue and [ 3 H]thymidine uptake assay. TCDD also suppressed the basal generation of ROS in a time- and concentration-dependent manner assessed by 2',7'-dichlorofluorescein fluorescence. In addition, TCDD induced a dose-dependent inhibition of lipid peroxidation, a biomarker of oxidative stress, whereas it significantly increased the level of glutathione (GSH), an intracellular free radical scavenger in the cells. Moreover, TCDD altered the activities of major antioxidant enzymes; increase in superoxide dismutase (SOD) and catalase, but decrease in glutathione peroxidase (GSH-Px) and glutathione reductase (GSH-Red). Pretreatment with l -buthionine- S , R -sulfoximine (BSO, 50 μM), an inhibitor of GSH synthesis, significantly prevented the TCDD-induced reduction in lipid peroxidation and cell proliferation. Interestingly, exogenous application of an oxidant, H 2 O 2 (50 μM) markedly restored the inhibited cell proliferation induced by TCDD. Taken together, these results suggest that alteration of cellular redox balance may mediate the TCDD-induced inhibition of proliferation in human neuronal cells.  相似文献

Background aimsThe ability to expand and maintain bone marrow (BM)-derived mesenchymal stem cells (MSC) in vitro is an important aspect of their therapeutic potential. Despite this, the exact composition of stromal cell types within these cultures and the potential effects of non-stem cells on the maintenance of MSC are poorly understood.MethodsC57BL/6J BM stroma was investigated as a model to determine the relationship between MSC and non-multipotent cells in vitro. Whole BM and single-cell derived cultures were characterized using flow cytometry and cell sorting combined with multipotent differentiation. Proliferation of individual stromal populations was evaluated using BrdU.ResultsAt a single-cell level, MSC were distinguished from committed progenitors, and cells lacking differentiation ability, by the expression of CD105 (CD105+). A 3-fold reduction in the percentage of CD105+ cells was detected after prolonged culture and correlated with loss of MSC. Depletion of CD105+ cells coincided with a 10–20% increase in the frequency of proliferating CD105? cells. Removal of CD105? stroma caused increased proliferation in CD105+ cells, which could be diminished by conditioned media from parent cultures. Comparison of the multipotent differentiation potential in purified and non-purified CD105+ cells determined that MSC were detectable for at least 3 weeks longer when cultured in the absence of CD105? cells.ConclusionsThis work identifies a simple model for characterizing the different cellular components present in BM stromal cultures and demonstrates that stromal cells lacking multipotent differentiating capacity greatly reduce the longevity of MSC.  相似文献

The effect of reduced oxygen concentration in the gas phase on the proliferation, viability, and immunophenotype of human mesenchymal stromal cells isolated from lipoaspirate (lMSC) has been investigated. It was shown that the proliferation activity of cells under hypoxic conditions (5% O2) was, on average, 2.9 times higher than those cultivated under routine (normoxic) (20% O2) conditions. Decreased oxygen level in the culture medium did not cause any change in lMSC viability or immunophenotype. Thus, the permanent cultivation of lMSC in medium with a lower oxygen tension may be an efficient approach to obtaining a higher mass of cells that maintain their characteristics over a shorter period of time, which is a requirement for regenerative medicine.  相似文献

Some varieties of sweet pepper accumulate non-pungent isosters of capsaicin, a type of compounds exemplified by capsiate. The only structural difference between capsaicin and capsiate is the link between the vanillyl and the acyl moieties, via an amide bond in the former and via an ester bond in the latter. By flow cytometry analyses we have determined that nor-dihydrocapsiate, a simplified analogue of capsiate, is a pro-oxidant compound that induces apoptosis in the Jurkat tumor cell line. The nuclear DNA fragmentation induced by nor-dihydrocapsiate is preceded by an increase in the production of reactive oxygen species and by a subsequent disruption of mitochondria transmembrane potential. Capsiate-induced apoptosis is initiated at the S phase of the cell cycle and is mediated by a caspase-3-dependent pathway. The accumulation of intracellular reactive oxygen species in capsiate-treated cells is greatly prevented by the presence of ferricyanide, suggesting that capsiates target a cellular redox system distinct from the one involved in the mitochondrial electron-chain transport. Methylation of the phenolic hydroxyl of nor-dihydrocapsiate completely abrogated the ability to induce reactive oxygen species and apoptosis, highlighting the relevance of the presence of a free phenolic hydroxyl for the pro-oxidant properties of capsaicinoids.  相似文献
