The differential effect of dexamethasone on granulocyte apoptosis involves stabilization of Mcl-1L in neutrophils but not in eosinophils 总被引:1,自引:0,他引:1
In the absence of activation signals, circulating human neutrophils and eosinophils undergo spontaneous apoptosis. The glucocorticoid dexamethasone (Dex) accelerates apoptosis in inflammatory cells such as eosinophils, but uniquely delays neutrophil apoptosis. Corresponding to the opposite effects of Dex on granulocyte apoptosis, we demonstrate that in neutrophils and eosinophils Dex oppositely affects expression of the anti-apoptotic Bcl-2 family protein Mcl-1L. Mcl-1L expression declines over time in vitro; however, Dex maintains Mcl-1L expression in neutrophils. In contrast, Dex accelerates Mcl-1L protein loss in eosinophils. Neither Mcl-1S, a pro-apoptotic splice variant, nor Bax were affected. Dex treatment in the presence of a translation inhibitor stabilized existing Mcl-1L protein in neutrophils, while Mcl-1L stability in eosinophils was unaffected. Accordingly, delay of neutrophil apoptosis by Dex was prevented by antisense Mcl-1L siRNA. Our findings suggest that regulation of Mcl-1L degradation plays an important role in the opposite effects of Dex on granulocyte apoptosis. 相似文献

Apoptosis has become recognized as a crucial mechanism involved in a wide range of physiological and pathological processes.
Following an initial pro-apoptotic signal, controlling phases allow the cell to reinforce or downgrade signals leading to
the irrevocable entry into apoptosis. Bak (Bcl-2-antagonist killer) is a mitochondrial pore-forming pro-apoptotic effector
inhibited through titration by the anti-apoptotic protein Mcl-1 (Myeloid cell leukemia-1). Viruses have taken advantage of
proteasome-dependent degradation of Bak as a mechanism to prevent apoptosis in infected cells. It is not clear however whether
regulation of Bak protein level is involved in other physiological processes. In this report, we show that Mcl-1 level is
paralleled by Bak while a Mcl-1 non-interacting mutant of Bak does not accumulate in cells. This mechanism is proteasome independent.
Following serum withdrawal, Bak accumulation becomes independent of Mcl-1 level and cells are sensitized to pro-apoptotic
stimuli. Based on these results, we propose that regulation of Mcl-1-Bak steochiometry is a control mechanism used as a checkpoint
to prevent or allow entry into apoptosis. 相似文献

Mcl-1 is a major anti-apoptotic Bcl-2 family protein. It is well known that Mcl-1 can interact with certain pro-apoptotic Bcl-2 family proteins in normal cells to neutralize their pro-apoptotic functions, thus prevent apoptosis. In addition, it was recently found that Mcl-1 can also inhibit mitochondrial calcium uptake. The detailed mechanism, however, is still not clear. Based on Yeast Two-Hybrid screening and co-immunoprecipitation, we identified a mitochondrial protein p32 (C1qbp) as a novel binding partner of Mcl-1. We found that p32 had a number of interesting properties: (1) p32 can positively regulate UV-induced apoptosis in HeLa cells. (2) Over-expressing p32 could significantly promote mitochondrial calcium uptake, while silencing p32 by siRNA suppressed it. (3) In p32 knockdown cells, Ruthenium Red treatment (an inhibitor of mitochondrial calcium uniporter) showed no further suppressive effect on mitochondrial calcium uptake. In addition, in Ruthenium Red treated cells, Mcl-1 also failed to suppress mitochondrial calcium uptake. Taken together, our findings suggest that p32 is part of the putative mitochondrial uniporter that facilitates mitochondrial calcium uptake. By binding to p32, Mcl-1 can interfere with the uniporter function, thus inhibit the mitochondrial Ca2+ uploading. This may provide a novel mechanism to explain the anti-apoptotic function of Mcl-1. 相似文献

The anti-apoptotic effect of a chloride-bicarbonate exchange blocker has been previously examined in endothelial cells and cardiomyocytes. However, the anti-apoptotic effects of this blocker on epithelial cells and the mechanism of the anti-apoptotic effect remain unknown. We examined the anti-apoptotic effects of a chloride-bicarbonate exchange blocker in a renal epithelial cell line (MDCK cells). Changes in the expression of bcl-2 family proteins, which are known to have anti-apoptotic effects, were also examined. Staurosporine was used to induce apoptotic cell death in the MDCK cells. Staurosporine treatment was sufficient to induce apoptotic cell death, detected by propidium iodide and DNA ladder formation. A chloride-bicarbonate exchange blocker was added 24 h before the staurosporine treatment and during treatment. The chloride-bicarbonate exchange blocker inhibited the staurosporine-induced apoptosis in the MDCK cells in a dose-dependent manner. The expression of bcl-2 family gene products was detected by RT-PCR and Western blotting. No changes in the expression of Bax, Bid and Bik (pro-apoptotic proteins), or Bcl-2 (an anti-apoptotic protein) were detected. However, Mcl-1 expression was reduced by the staurosporine treatment, and this reduction was recovered when the chloride-bicarbonate exchange blocker was added. LY294002, a PI 3-kinase inhibitor, partially inhibited this anti-apoptotic effect. In conclusion, chloride-bicarbonate exchange blockers appear to offer cell-protective effects via Mcl-1 up-regulation. 相似文献

Full length Mcl-1 is an anti-apoptotic protein consisting of two closely migrating 42/40kDa species. We now investigated the relationship of these isoforms to the expression of cell cycle stimulatory (cyclin A) and inhibitory (p21WAF1) proteins and to the induction of apoptosis in wt p53 MCF-7 and mutant p53 SKBR3 human breast carcinomas. The latter cells exhibited lower 42kDa Mcl-1, higher expression of cyclin A relative to that of p21WAF1, and apoptosis in response to okadaic acid, a phosphatase 1/2A inhibitor. The proteasome inhibitor MG-115 selectively increased expression of the 40kDa Mcl-1 isoform and induced p21WAF1, but also promoted preferential apoptosis in SKBR3 cells. Neither okadaic acid nor MG-115 caused comparable effects in MCF-7 cells. However, vanadate or acetyl furanonaphthoquinone induced the 40kDa Mcl-1 and greater Jun kinase (JNK) phosphorylation without apoptosis-associated PARP fragmentation in MCF-7 cells. Our data suggest that the higher susceptibility of SKBR3 cells to undergo apoptosis may be partly due to their greater proliferative potential (cyclin A), low expression of the anti-apoptotic 42kDa Mcl-1 isoform, and suboptimal JNK activation in response to stress. 相似文献

Anti-apoptotic Bcl-2 family proteins have been reported to play an important role in apoptotic cell death of human malignancies. The aim of this study was to delineate the mechanism of anti-apoptotic Bcl-2 family proteins in pancreatic cancer (PaCa) cell survival. We first analyzed the endogenous expression and subcellular localization of anti-apoptotic Bcl-2 family proteins in six PaCa cell lines by Western blot. To delineate the functional role of Bcl-2 family proteins, siRNA-mediated knock-down of protein expression was used. Apoptosis was measured by Cell Death ELISA and Hoechst 33258 staining. In the results, the expression of anti-apoptotic Bcl-2 family proteins varied between PaCa cell lines. Mcl-1 knock-down resulted in marked cleavage of PARP and induction of apoptosis. Down-regulation of Bcl-2 or Bcl-xL had a much weaker effect. Simultaneous knock-down of Bcl-xL and Mcl-1 strongly induced apoptosis, but simultaneous knock-down of Bcl-xL/Bcl-2 or Mcl-1/Bcl-2 had no additive effect. The apoptosis-inducing effect of simultaneous knock-down of Bcl-xL and Mcl-1 was associated with translocation of Bax from the cytosol to the mitochondrial membrane, cytochrome c release, and caspase activation. These results demonstrated that Bcl-xL and Mcl-1 play an important role in pancreatic cancer cell survival. Targeting both Bcl-xL and Mcl-1 may be an intriguing therapeutic strategy in PaCa. 相似文献

Mitochondrial apoptosis regulates survival and development of hematopoietic cells. Prominent roles of some Bcl-2-family members in this regulation have been established, for instance for pro-apoptotic Bim and anti-apoptotic Mcl-1. Additional, mostly smaller roles are known for other Bcl-2-members but it has been extremely difficult to obtain a comprehensive picture of the regulation of mitochondrial apoptosis in hematopoietic cells by Bcl-2-family proteins. We here use a system of mouse ‘conditionally immortalized’ lymphoid-primed hematopoietic progenitor (LMPP) cells that can be differentiated in vitro to pro-B cells, to analyze the importance of these proteins in cell survival. We established cells deficient in Bim, Noxa, Bim/Noxa, Bim/Puma, Bim/Bmf, Bax, Bak or Bax/Bak and use specific inhibitors of Bcl-2, Bcl-XL and Mcl-1 to assess their importance. In progenitor (LMPP) cells, we found an important role of Noxa, alone and together with Bim. Cell death induced by inhibition of Bcl-2 and Bcl-XL entirely depended on Bim and could be implemented by Bax and by Bak. Inhibition of Mcl-1 caused apoptosis that was independent of Bim but strongly depended on Noxa and was completely prevented by the absence of Bax; small amounts of anti-apoptotic proteins were co-immunoprecipitated with Bim. During differentiation to pro-B cells, substantial changes in the expression of Bcl-2-family proteins were seen, and Bcl-2, Bcl-XL and Mcl-1 were all partially in complexes with Bim. In differentiated cells, Noxa appeared to have lost all importance while the loss of Bim and Puma provided protection. The results strongly suggest that the main role of Bim in these hematopoietic cells is the neutralization of Mcl-1, identify a number of likely molecular events during the maintenance of survival and the induction of apoptosis in mouse hematopoietic progenitor cells, and provide data on the regulation of expression and importance of these proteins during differentiation along the B cell lineage.Subject terms: Apoptosis, Immune cell death 相似文献

HIF-1alpha has an anti-apoptotic effect in human airway epithelium that is mediated via Mcl-1 gene expression 总被引:4,自引:0,他引:4
Hypoxia-inducible factor-1alpha (HIF-1alpha) and myeloid cell leukemia-1 (Mcl-1) proteins have been shown to regulate apoptosis in some cell systems but have not been studied in this context in airway epithelium. Using a model of anoxia/reoxygenation (A/R), the present study employed RNA interference (RNAi) targeting HIF-1alpha and Mcl-1 to evaluate their possible anti-apoptotic effects on HBE1 cells, an immortalized human bronchial epithelial cell line. The cells were either cultured under normoxic conditions or were transfected with small interfering RNA (siRNA) duplexes targeting HIF-1alpha or Mcl-1 mRNA and then immediately exposed to A/R. As controls, non-transfected HBE1 cells and cells transfected with scrambled RNA duplexes were subjected to A/R. Apoptosis was evaluated by terminal deoxynucleotidyl transferase (TdT)-mediated dUTP nick end labeling (TUNEL) assay and RNAi was assessed by knockdown of HIF-1alpha and Mcl-1 mRNA and protein expression using real-time quantitative RT-PCR (Q-PCR), immunohistochemistry, and Western blots. HBE1 cells transfected with siRNA duplexes targeting either HIF-1alpha or Mcl-1 and subjected to A/R manifested considerable apoptosis, a finding not observed in either non-transfected cells or cells transfected with scrambled RNA duplexes. Specific knockdown of mRNA and protein expression by RNAi in HBE1 cells after A/R was shown for siRNA duplexes targeting either HIF-1alpha or Mcl-1. Unexpectedly, knockdown of HIF-1alpha induced parallel knockdown of Mcl-1 mRNA and protein expression, whereas Mcl-1 knockdown had no noticeable effect on HIF-1alpha expression. Thus, although both of these proteins were shown to be anti-apoptotic, the action of HIF-1alpha appeared to be mediated in part via Mcl-1. 相似文献

T lymphocyte development and function are tightly regulated by the intrinsic death pathway through members of the Bcl-2 family. Genetic studies have demonstrated that the Bcl-2 family member Mcl-1 is an important anti-apoptotic protein in the development of multiple cell types including T lymphocytes. However, the expression pattern and anti-apoptotic roles of Mcl-1 in T lymphocytes at different developmental stages remain to be fully determined. In this study, we examined the expression pattern of Mcl-1 in different populations of T cells at the single-cell level and found that Mcl-1 protein is constitutively expressed in all T cell populations and up-regulated upon TCR stimulation. We then investigated the role of Mcl-1 in the survival of these different populations by conditionally deleting Mcl-1 at various T cell stages. Our results show that Mcl-1 is required for the survival of double-negative and single-positive thymocytes as well as naive and activated T cells. Furthermore, we demonstrate that Mcl-1 functions together with Bcl-xL to promote double-positive thymocyte survival. Thus, Mcl-1 is a critical anti-apoptotic factor for the survival of T cells at multiple stages in vivo. 相似文献

Glucocorticoids (GCs) are used for treatment of various hematopoietic malignancies owing to their ability to induce apoptosis. A major obstacle in leukemia therapy is the emergence of GC-resistant cells. Hence, combinatory treatment protocols should be developed that convert GC-resistant leukemia cells into sensitive ones. Here we demonstrate that the broad-acting kinase inhibitor staurosporine (STS) confers GC-sensitivity on GC-resistant T lymphoma cells expressing elevated levels of either Bcl-2 or Bcl-XL, but not on GC-resistant myelogenic leukemia cells expressing Mcl-1 in addition to Bcl-2 and/or Bcl-XL. In T lymphoma cells, STS induces the expression of the pro-apoptotic orphan receptor Nur77 that overcomes the anti-apoptotic effect of Bcl-2, thus enabling GC-induced apoptosis. However, in the myelogenic leukemia cells, STS does not up-regulate Nur77. In these cells, the glucocorticoid receptor (GR) is rapidly downregulated by GC and the anti-apoptotic Mcl-1 protein is upregulated by STS, thereby leading to an even more resistant phenotype. Altogether, our data provide a molecular basis for the differential apoptotic response of T lymphoma versus myelogenic leukemia cells to STS and GC. The former being sensitized to GC-induced apoptosis by STS, whereas in the latter, STS intensifies GC resistance. The cell type specific responses should be taken into consideration when combinatory therapy is used for treating hematopoietic malignancies. 相似文献

Proteolytic cleavage and subsequent activation of protein kinase C (PKC) delta is required for apoptosis induced by a variety of genotoxic agent, including UV radiation. In addition, overexpression of the constitutively active PKCdelta catalytic fragment (PKCdelta-cat) is sufficient to trigger Bax activation, cytochrome c release, and apoptosis. While PKCdelta is a key apoptotic effector, the downstream target(s) responsible for the mitochondrial apoptotic cascade are not known. We found that expression of the active PKCdelta-cat in HaCaT cells triggers a reduction in the anti-apoptotic protein Mcl-1, similar to UV radiation. The down-regulation of Mcl-1 induced by PKCdelta-cat was not at the mRNA level but was due to decreased protein half-life. Overexpression of Mcl-1 protected HaCaT cells from both UV and PKCdelta-cat-induced apoptosis and blocked the release of cytochrome c from the mitochondria, indicating that Mcl-1 down-regulation was required for apoptosis signaling. Indeed, down-regulation of Mcl-1 with siRNA slightly increased the basal apoptotic rate of HaCaT cells and dramatically sensitized them to UV or PKCdelta-cat-induced apoptosis. HaCaT cells with down-regulated Mcl-1 had higher activated Bax protein, as measured by Bax cross-linking, indicating that Mcl-1 down-regulation is sufficient for Bax activation. Finally, recombinant PKCdelta could phosphorylate Mcl-1 in vitro, identifying Mcl-1 as a direct target for PKCdelta. Overall our results identify Mcl-1 as an important target for PKCdelta-cat that can mediate its pro-apoptotic effects on mitochondria to amplify the apoptotic signaling induced by a wide range of apoptotic stimuli. 相似文献

Infection with Chlamydia protects mammalian host cells against apoptosis. Hypotheses have been proposed to explain this molecularly, including the up-regulation of host anti-apoptotic proteins such as cellular Inhibitor of Apoptosis Protein (IAP) 2 and the Bcl-2 protein Mcl-1. To test for the importance of these proteins, we used mouse embryonic fibroblasts from gene-targeted mice that were deficient in cIAP1, cIAP2, cIAP1/cIAP2, XIAP, or Mcl-1. Infection with Chlamydia trachomatis protected all cells equally well against apoptosis, which was induced either with tumour necrosis factor/cycloheximide (IAP-knock-out cells) or staurosporine (Mcl-1-knock-out). Therefore, these cellular anti-apoptotic proteins are not essential for apoptosis-protection by C. trachomatis. 相似文献

Anti-apoptotic Bcl-2 family proteins are important oncology therapeutic targets. To date, BH3 mimetics that abrogate anti-apoptotic activity have largely been directed at Bcl-2 and/or Bcl-xL. One observed mechanism of resistance to these inhibitors is increased Mcl-1 levels in cells exposed to such therapeutics. For this reason, and because Mcl-1 is important in the onset of lymphoid, myeloid, and other cancers, it has become a target of great interest. However, small molecule inhibitors displaying potency and selectivity for Mcl-1 are lacking. Identifying such compounds has been challenging due to difficulties in translating the target selectivity observed at the biochemical level to the cellular level. Herein we report the results of an HTS strategy coupled with directed hit optimization. Compounds identified have selective Mcl-1 inhibitory activity with greater than 100-fold reduced affinity for Bcl-xL. The selectivity of these compounds at the cellular level was validated using BH3 profiling, a novel personalized diagnostic approach. This assay provides an important functional biomarker that allows for the characterization of cells based upon their dependencies on various anti-apoptotic Bcl-2 proteins. We demonstrate that cells dependent on Mcl-1 or Bcl-2/Bcl-xL for survival are commensurately responsive to compounds that genuinely target those proteins. The identification of compound 9 with uniquely validated and selective Mcl-1 inhibitory activity provides a valuable tool to those studying the intrinsic apoptosis pathway and highlights an important approach in the development of a first-in-class cancer therapeutic. 相似文献

A constitutive cytoprotective pathway protects endothelial cells from lipopolysaccharide-induced apoptosis 总被引:12,自引:0,他引:12

Lipopolysaccharide (LPS) has been implicated as the bacterial component responsible for much of the endothelial cell injury/dysfunction associated with Gram-negative bacterial infections. Protein synthesis inhibition is required to sensitize the endothelium to lipopolysaccharide-induced apoptosis, suggesting that a constitutive or inducible cytoprotective protein(s) is required for endothelial survival. We have identified two known endothelial anti-apoptotic proteins, c-FLIP and Mcl-1, the expression of which is decreased markedly in the presence of cycloheximide. Decreased expression of both proteins preceded apoptosis evoked by lipopolysaccharide + cycloheximide. Caspase inhibition protected against apoptosis, but not the decreased expression of c-FLIP and Mcl-1, suggesting that they exert protection upstream of caspase activation. Inhibition of the degradation of these two proteins with the proteasome inhibitor, lactacystin, prevented lipopolysaccharide + cycloheximide-induced apoptosis. Similarly, lactacystin protected against endothelial apoptosis induced by either tumor necrosis factor-alpha or interleukin-1beta in the presence of cycloheximide. That apoptosis could be blocked in the absence of new protein synthesis by inhibition of the proteasome degradative pathway implicates the requisite involvement of a constitutively expressed protein(s) in the endothelial cytoprotective pathway. Finally, reduction of FLIP expression with antisense oligonucleotides sensitized endothelial cells to LPS killing, demonstrating a definitive role for FLIP in the protection of endothelial cells from LPS-induced apoptosis. 相似文献

Myeloid cell leukemia-1 (Mcl-1) plays an important role in various cell survival pathways. Some studies indicated that the expression of Mcl-1 was upregulated in host cells during infection with the virulent Mycobacterium tuberculosis strain, H37Rv. The present study was designed to investigate the effect of inhibiting Mcl-1 expression both in vivo and in vitro on apoptosis of host macrophages infected with M. tuberculosis using a small hairpin (sh)RNA. Mcl-1 expression was detected by the real time-polymerase chain reaction, western blotting, and immunohistochemistry. Flow cytometry and transmission electron microscopy were used to measure host macrophage apoptosis. We found elevated Mcl-1 levels in host macrophages infected with M. tuberculosis H37Rv. The expression of Mcl-1 was downregulated efficiently in H37Rv-infected host macrophages using shRNA. Knockdown of Mcl-1 enhanced the extent of apoptosis in H37Rv-infected host macrophages significantly. The increased apoptosis correlated with a decrease in M. tuberculosis colony forming units recovered from H37Rv-infected cells that were treated with Mcl-1-shRNA. Reducing Mcl-1 accumulation by shRNA also reduced accumulation of the anti-apoptotic gene, Bcl-2, and increased expression of the pro-apoptotic gene, Bax, in H37Rv-infected host macrophages. Our results showed that specific knockdown of Mcl-1 expression increased apoptosis of host macrophages significantly and decreased the intracellular survival of a virulent strain of M. tuberculosis. These data indicate that interference with Mcl-1 expression may provide a new avenue for tuberculosis therapy. 相似文献

We previously reported that microRNA-30 (miR-30) expression was initiated by radiation-induced proinflammatory factor IL-1β and NFkB activation in mouse and human hematopoietic cells. However, the downstream effectors of miR-30 and its specific role in radiation-induced cell death are not well understood. In the present study, we evaluated effects of radiation on miR-30 expression and activation of intrinsic apoptotic pathway Bcl-2 family factors in in vivo mouse and in vitro human hematopoietic cells. CD2F1 mice and human CD34+ cells were exposed to different doses of gamma-radiation. In addition to survival studies, mouse blood, bone marrow (BM) and spleen cells and human CD34+ cells were collected at 4 h, and 1, 3 and 4 days after irradiation to determine apoptotic and stress response signals. Our results showed that mouse serum miR-30, DNA damage marker γ-H2AX in BM, and Bim, Bax and Bak expression, cytochrome c release, and caspase-3 and -7 activation in BM and/or spleen cells were upregulated in a radiation dose-dependent manner. Antiapoptotic factor Mcl-1 was significantly downregulated, whereas Bcl-2 was less changed or unaltered in the irradiated mouse cells and human CD34+ cells. Furthermore, a putative miR-30 binding site was found in the 3′ UTR of Mcl-1 mRNA. miR-30 directly inhibits the expression of Mcl-1 through binding to its target sequence, which was demonstrated by a luciferase reporter assay, and the finding that Mcl-1 was uninhibited by irradiation in miR-30 knockdown CD34+ cells. Bcl-2 expression was not affected by miR-30. Our data suggest miR-30 plays a key role in radiation-induced apoptosis through directly targeting Mcl-1in hematopoietic cells. 相似文献
