Abstract The growth of Mycobacterium microti was inhibited within J774A. 1 macrophage cells activated with either interferon-γ or tumor necrosis factor-α. Activation with interferon-γ or tumor necrosis factor-α alone did not stimulate the production of nitrite in J774A. 1 cells. Interferon-γ but not tumor necrosis factor-a increased the production of hydrogen peroxide in a concentration dependent manner but scavengers of reactive oxygen species did not influence the growth inhibiting effect of interferon-γ within J774A.1 cells. Both interferon-γ and tumor necrosis factor-α enhanced the fusion of M. microti containing phagosomes with lysosomes and the ultimate degradation of bacteria. Our results showed that growth inhibition of M. microti within interferon-γ or tumor necrosis factor-a stimulated J774A. 1 cells was independent of reactive oxygen intermediate and reactive nitrogen intermediate production. 相似文献

A comparative study was done using J774A.1 and J774A. 1-derived transfected cells (J774A.1 C.1) containing antisense tumor
necrosis factor α (TNF-α) plasmid to determine the role of endogenous TNF-α on nitric oxide production as well as on the growth
ofMycobacterium microti in interferon γ (IFN-γ)- and lipopolysaccharide (LPS)-treated cells. On stimulation with IFN-γ and LPS a higher level of
NO was observed in J774A.1 cells compared to J774A.1 C.1 which indicated that endogenous TNF-α is required for the production
of NO. Comparing the effect of IFN-γ and LPS on the intracellular growth ofM. microti, the growth-reducing activity was higher in J774A.1 cells than in J774A.1 C.1 cells and was not completely abrogated in the
presence of the nitric oxide inhibitorN
G-methyl-l-arginine (l-NMA). J774A.1 C.1 cells infected withM. microti produced a significant amount of NO when exogenous TNF-α was added along with IFN-γ and LPS and the concentration of intracellular
bacteria decreased almost to that in IFN-γ and LPS treated parental J774A.1 cells. Addition of exogenous TNF-α even in the
presence ofl-NMA in J774.1 C.1 cells could also partially restore intracellular growth inhibition ofM. microti caused by IFN-γ and LPS. TNF-α is probably required for the production of NO in J774A.1 cells by IFN-γ and LPS but TNF-α
and NO are independently involved in the killing of intracellularM. microti with IFN-γ and LPS. 相似文献

The germination of spores of Mucor rouxii into hyphae was inhibited by 2 mm dibutyryl cyclic adenosine 3′,5′-monophosphate or 7 mm cyclic adenosine 3′,5′-monophosphate; under these conditions spores developed into budding spherical cells instead of filaments, provided that glucose was present in the culture medium. Removal of the cyclic nucleotides resulted in the conversion of yeast cells into hyphae. Dibutyryl cyclic adenosine 3′,5′-monophosphate (2 mm) also inhibited the transformation of yeast to mycelia after exposure of yeast culture to air.Since in all living systems so far studied adenylate cyclase and cyclic adenosine 3′,5′-monophosphate phosphodiesterase are involved in maintaining the intracellular cyclic adenosine monophosphate level, the activity of both enzymes and the intracellular concentration of cyclic adenosine monophosphate were investigated in yeast and mycelium extracts. Cyclic adenosine monophosphate phosphodiesterase and adenylate cyclase activities could be demonstrated in extracts of M. rouxii. The specific activity of adenylate cyclase did not vary appreciably with the fungus morphology. On the contrary, cyclic adenosine monophosphate phosphodiesterase activity was four- to sixfold higher in mycelial extracts than in yeast extracts and reflected quite accurately the observed changes in intracellular cyclic adenosine monophosphate levels; these were three to four times higher in yeast cells than in mycelium. 相似文献

Abstract: In rat cerebral cortical slices, the 1-aminocyclopentyl-1 S ,3 R -dicarboxylate (1 S ,3 R -ACPD) isomer of the selective metabotropic excitatory amino acid agonist ACPD inhibited forskolin-stimulated cyclic AMP (cAMP) accumulation in a concentration-dependent manner with a maximal inhibition of 51 ± 3% and a half-maximally effective concentration of 8.8 ± 3.4 μ M . Similarly, 1 R ,3 S -ACPD inhibited the forskolin response in a concentration-dependent manner, but with an inhibition of 80 ± 5% at 3 μ M . In addition to inhibiting forskolin-stimulated cAMP levels, 1 S ,3 R -ACPD, but not 1 R ,3 S -ACPD, enhanced the cAMP response to A2b adenosine receptor activation. In the presence of 1.2 U/ml of adenosine deaminase (included to reduce the contribution of endogenous adenosine), the efficacy of 1 S ,3 R -ACPD was increased (88 ± 3% inhibition), but the potency was unchanged. The adenosine receptor antagonist 8-cyclopentyl-1,3-dipropylxanthine also increased the inhibitory effect of 100 μ M 1 S ,3 R -ACPD, from 57 ± 1 to 78 ± 5%. These results indicate that endogenous adenosine plays an important role in regulating the apparent efficacy of 1 S ,3 R -ACPD inhibition of forskolin-stimulated cAMP accumulation in rat cerebral cortical slices and that previous studies in rat hippocampus and hypothalamus in the absence of added adenosine deaminase may have underestimated the efficacy of this compound. 相似文献

Estradiol is able to regulate the release of inflammatory mediators by macrophages; however, the presence, extent, and direction of this modulation varies with species, tissue of origin, and cell culture conditions. This study examines the effects of 17-beta-estradiol (E2) on the release of inflammatory mediators by the J774A.1 mouse macrophage cell line. For experiments, cells were plated in phenol red-free DMEM containing 5% charcoal-dextran stripped calf serum. Western analysis showed that J774A.1 cells contain the estrogen receptor alpha (ER alpha) protein. We found that physiological and pharmacological levels of E2 (10(-12) M-10(-6) M) have no effect on the release of nitric oxide (NO), tumor necrosis factor-alpha (TNF-alpha), interleukin-6 (IL-6), or monocyte chemoattractant protein-1 (MCP-1). This suggests that J774A.1 cells grown under these culture conditions would be useful for the investigation of non-estrogen-dependent mechanisms by which certain endocrine disruptors may affect their targets in macrophages. 相似文献

Inhibition of E. coli growth by cyclic adenosine monophosphate is observed in wild type strains cultured in glucose as carbon source, but not in a cyclic AMP receptor protein deficient mutant. A deletion mutant of the adenylate cyclase gene requires cyclic adenosine monophosphate for optimal growth. Using glucose as carbon source, 2 mM cyclic AMP promotes maximal rates of cell multiplication in this mutant; however higher concentrations of the nucleotide inhibit growth. Cell multiplication of wild type strains grown in glycerol is not affected by cyclic adenosine monophosphate. Nevertheless, in this carbon source the growth rate of the adenylate cyclase mutant is strongly inhibited by concentrations of this nucleotide beyond 0.1 mM. This suggests that growth inhibition by exogenous cyclic adenosine monophosphate is highly dependent on the intracellular levels of the nucleotide. 相似文献

The mechanisms by which Mycobacterium tuberculosis survives and persists in phagocytic cells remain poorly understood. To study the question, a convenient and safe host-vector system is indispensable. In this study it has been shown that, in contrast with M . smegmatis strain mc2 155 which has been widely used for molecular analysis, M. smegmatis strain J15cs is able to survive even at day 6 post-infection in a murine macrophage cell line, J774. The survivability of J15cs was found to depend on the culture medium used for the bacteria prior to infection. Bacteria precultured on nutrient agar medium showed a high survivability and a characteristic cell wall ultrastructure. A plasmid vector, pYT923hyg, was developed from an Escherichia coli - mycobacterium shuttle vector pYT923 (previously constructed in our laboratory) to obtain three drug resistant genes (amp-, hyg- and km-resistant gene) and cloning sites in the km resistant gene. The vector pYT923hyg exerted no influence on in vitro growth of J15cs and intracellular survival in J774 cells, and was stably retained in J15cs after serial subculturing (three subcultures) in Luria-Bertani broth and at day 5 post-infection into J774 cells. Furthermore, using this system, the possibility of a relationship between some seemingly essential genes of M. tuberculosis and intracellular growth was demonstrated.
In this study, M. smegmatis strain J15cs and pYT923hyg were found to be capable of serving as an appropriate host-vector system for molecular study of the intracellular growth of M . tuberculosis in phagocytic cells; this system may be useful as a screening tool for M . tuberculosis genes. 相似文献

The mechanism by which hepcidin controls cellular iron release protein ferroportin 1 (Fpn1) in macrophages has been well established. However, little is known about the effects of hepcidin on cellular iron uptake proteins. Here, we demonstrated for the first time that hepcidin can significantly inhibit the expression of transferrin receptor 1 (TfR1) and divalent metal transporter 1 in addition to Fpn1, and therefore reduce transferrin-bound iron and non-transferrin-bound iron uptake and also iron release in J774 macrophages. Analysis of mechanisms using the iron-depleted cells showed that hepcidin has a direct inhibitory effect on all iron transport proteins we examined. Further studies demonstrated that the down-regulation of TfR1 induced by hepcidin is associated with cyclic adenosine monophosphate (cAMP) and protein kinase A (PKA), probably being mediated by the cAMP–PKA pathway in J774 macrophages. 相似文献

AbstractMycobacterium avium (M. avium) can survive within macrophages, and alters various functions of its cellular host. Liposomes and other particulate drug carriers have been investigated as a means for enhancing drug delivery to the intracellular site of infection via the endocytic pathway. We have investigated the impact of M. avium infection on the endocytosis, retention, and intracellular disposition of liposomes, as these are essential macrophage functions that may determine the activity of liposome-encapsulated antibiotics. J774, a macrophage-like cell line, was infected with M. avium at various multiplicities. Infected cells accumulated and retained liposomes in a manner similar to uninfected cells, regardless of the time after infection. Moreover, the intracellular trafficking and disposition of liposomes was unaltered in J774 cells that contained live or heat-killed M. avium, as evidenced by the vesicular pH which liposomes encountered within cells. These results suggest that specific essential cellular functions involved in processing particulate drug carriers remain intact in macrophages infected with M. avium. 相似文献

The effect of dibutyryl-cyclic AMP (dbcAMP) and theophylline was investigated on oleic acid incorporation into cholesteryl esters and triacylglycerols in the mouse monocyte-macrophage cell line J 774. 24h pretreatment of macrophages with dbcAMP decreased cholesteryl ester formation in a dose-dependent manner (about 4 fold reduction for dbcAMP 10(-4)M + theophylline 10(-3)M), while oleic acid incorporation into triacylglycerols was markedly (2 to 3 fold) enhanced. The catabolism of acetylated LDL was only slightly affected (about 15-20% reduction with dbcAMP 5 X 10(-4)M + theophylline 10(-3)M). Acyl Coenzyme A: cholesterol-O-acyl-transferase activity, measured in vitro on cell homogenates, was reduced in dbcAMP-treated cells, whereas diacylglycerol acyltransferase activity was increased. These results suggest that cyclic AMP can modulate cholesteryl ester and triacylglycerol formation in macrophages, and that these metabolisms are inversely regulated. Agents which increase cyclic AMP intracellular level could be of interest for reducing cholesteryl ester accumulation in macrophages. 相似文献

Atrial natriuretic factor regulates steroidogenic responsiveness and cyclic nucleotide levels in mouse Leydig cells in vitro 总被引:2,自引:0,他引:2

The effects of synthetic atrial natriuretic factor (ANF) on the regulation of mouse Leydig cell steroidogenesis have been studied in vitro. ANF in nanomolar concentration increased testosterone production by more than 30-fold over basal levels. Concomitantly, cyclic guanosine monophosphate levels were increased 35-fold; cyclic adenosine monophosphate levels fell minimally (15-20%). ANF at low concentration (1 X 10(-11) M) inhibited testosterone production by luteinizing hormone-stimulated cells, while at higher concentration (greater than 2 X 10(-9) M) ANF stimulated steroidogenesis beyond the level attained by luteinizing hormone alone. These results indicate that ANF can exert stimulatory effects on testosterone steroidogenesis in vitro, and that the mechanism may involve an intracellular messenger other than cyclic adenosine monophosphate. 相似文献

Hsp70 plays an important role in cytoprotection against tumor necrosis factor (TNF) α-mediated cytotoxicity. To investigate the role of Hsp70 in cytoprotein during Salmonella infection, we examined endogenous Hsp70 induction and TNF-α production in a monocyte/macrophage line, J774A.1, after infection with a virulent strain of Salm.choleraesuis RF-1 carrying a 50 kb virulent plasmid or the plasmid-cured avirulent strain 31N-1. Intracellular bacteria progressively increased in J774A.1 cells phagocytosing avirulent 31N-1 bacteria, whereas such progressive growth was not evident in J774A.1 cells phagocytosing avirulent 31N-1 bacteria. On the contrary, J774A.1 cells infected with virulent RF-1 bacteria expressed less Hsp70 than those infected with avirulent 31N-1 bacteria. The level of TNF-α production by J774A.1 infected with virulent RF-1 was much the same as that by J774A.1 infected with avirulent 31N-1. J774A.1 infected with virulent RF-1 died spontaneously; death was inhibited by the addition of anti-TNF-α mAb. Although the frequency of dead J774A.1 with hypodiploid DNA content increased only marginally after infection with avirulent 31N-1, treatment with Hsp70 anti-sense oligonucleotide resulted in a dramatic increase of dead cells in the infected macrophages. Taken together, these results suggest that Hsp70 induced macrophages plays an important role in host defense against Salmonella infection by protecting the macrophages against TNF α-induced cell death. Furthermore, cell death due to impaired endogenous Hsp synthesis in the phagocytes implies a novel pathogenic mechanism for virulence of Salm. choleraesuis RF-1. 相似文献

Two polyenylpyrroles from a soil ascomycete Gymnoascus reessii were previously identified as hit compounds in screening for cytotoxicity against lung cancer cells. These compounds and various analogs, which have been previously synthesized and tested for anti-lung cancer cell activity, were tested for anti-inflammatory activity. After preliminary screening for cytotoxicity for RAW 264.7 murine macrophage cells, the non-toxic compounds were tested for anti-inflammatory activity using lipopolysaccharide (LPS)-activated RAW 264.7 cells. Compounds 1h, 1i, and 1n reduced LPS-induced nitric oxide (NO) production, with respective ED50 values of 15 ± 2, 16 ± 2, and 17 ± 2 µM. They also reduced expression of inducible NO synthase and interleukin-6 (IL-6) without affecting cyclooxygenase-2 expression. Compound 1h also reduced secretion of IL-6 and tumor necrosis factor-α by LPS-activated J774A.1 murine macrophage cells, primary mice peritoneal macrophages, and JAWSII murine bone marrow-derived dendritic cells and reduced NLRP3 inflammasome-mediated interleukin-1β (IL-1β) secretion by LPS + adenosine triphosphate-activated J774A.1 and JAWSII cells. The underlying mechanisms for the anti-inflammatory activity of compound 1h were found to be a decrease in LPS-induced reactive oxygen species (ROS) production, mitogen-activated protein kinase phosphorylation, and NF-κB activation and a decrease in ATP-induced ROS production and PKC-α phosphorylation. These results provide promising insights into the anti-inflammatory activity of these conjugated polyenes and a molecular rationale for future therapeutic intervention in inflammation-related diseases. They also show how compound 1h regulates inflammation and suggest it may be a new source for the development of anti-inflammatory agents to ameliorate inflammation- and NLRP3 inflammasome-related diseases. 相似文献

Trichinella spiralis is a zoonotic nematode and food borne parasite and infection with T. spiralis leads to suppression of the host immune response and other immunopathologies. The excretory/secretory (ES) products of T. spiralis play important roles in the process of immunomodulation. However, the mechanisms and related molecules are unknown. Macrophages, a target for immunomodulation by the helminth parasite, play a critical role in initiating and modulating the host immune response to parasite infection. In this study, we examined the effect of ES products from different stages of T. spiralis on modulating J774A.1 macrophage activities. ES products from different stages of T. spiralis reduced the capacity of macrophages to express pro-inflammatory cytokines (tumor necrosis factor α, interleukin-1β , interleukin-6 , and interleukin-12) in response to lipopolysaccharide (LPS) challenge. However, only ES products from 3-day-old adult worms and 5-day-old adult worms/new-born larvae significantly inhibited inducible nitric oxide synthase gene expression in LPS-induced macrophages. In addition, ES products alone boosted the expression of anti-inflammatory cytokines interleukin-10 and transforming growth factor-β and effector molecule arginase 1 in J774A.1 macrophages. Signal transduction studies showed that ES products significantly inhibited nuclear factor-κB translocation into the nucleus and the phosphorylation of both extracellular signal-regulated protein kinase 1/2 and p38 mitogen-activated protein kinase in LPS-stimulated J774A.1 macrophages. These results suggest that ES products regulate host immune response at the macrophage level through inhibition of pro-inflammatory cytokines production and induction of macrophage toward the alternative phenotype, which maybe important for worm survival and host health. 相似文献

Antigen activation of murine T lymphocytes leads to phosphorylation of three subunits of the murine T cell antigen receptor (L.E. Samelson, M.D. Patel, A.M. Weissman, J.B. Harford, and R.D. Klausner. 1986. Cell 46:1083). Two kinases are activated in this process: protein kinase C which leads to phosphorylation of the gamma and, to a lesser extent, the epsilon subunits on serine residues and a tyrosine kinase which phosphorylates the p21 subunit (M.D. Patel, L.E. Samelson, and R.D. Klausner. 1987. J. Biol Chem. 262:5831). We sought to determine whether treatment of these cells with NaF could simulate any of these antigen-induced events. Indeed NaF treatment resulted in breakdown of polyphosphoinositides and production of phosphoinositols. This treatment also resulted in a rise in cytosolic free Ca2+. EGTA failed to block this rise suggesting that NaF liberated intracellular stores of Ca2+. Finally NaF treatment resulted in phosphorylation of the gamma and epsilon chains of the T cell receptor indistinguishable from the effects of phorbol esters. The NaF effect was potentiated by addition of A1Cl3 consistent with the view that the active moiety is A1F4-. The A1F4--induced phosphorylations were abolished in cells in which protein kinase C was depleted by prior treatment with phorbol myristate acetate. All of these observations are compatible with the interpretation that the A1F4- phosphorylation is mediated by protein kinase C. Antigen and anti-receptor antibody-induced receptor serine phosphorylation and phophatidylinositol turnover are blocked by raising intracellular levels of cyclic adenosine monophosphate. In contrast, A1F4--induced effects were insensitive to cyclic adenosine monophosphate. 相似文献

Obesity is associated with adipose tissue remodeling, characterized by macrophage accumulation, adipocyte hypertrophy, and apoptosis. We previously reported that macrophage-conditioned medium (MacCM) protects preadipocytes from apoptosis, due to serum withdrawal, in a platelet-derived growth factor (PDGF)-dependent manner. We have now investigated the role of intracellular signaling pathways, activated in response to MacCM versus PDGF, in promoting preadipocyte survival. Exposure of 3T3-L1 preadipocytes to J774A.1-MacCM or PDGF strongly stimulated Akt and ERK1/2 phosphorylation from initially undetectable levels. Inhibition of the upstream regulators of Akt or ERK1/2, i.e. phosphoinositide 3-kinase (PI3K; using wortmannin or LY294002) or MEK1/2 (using UO126 or PD98509), abrogated the respective phosphorylation responses, and significantly impaired pro-survival activity. J774A.1-MacCM increased reactive oxygen species (ROS) levels by 3.4-fold, and diphenyleneiodonium (DPI) or N-acetyl cysteine (NAC) significantly inhibited pro-survival signaling and preadipocyte survival in response to J774A.1-MacCM. Serum withdrawal itself also increased ROS levels (2.1-fold), and the associated cell death was attenuated by DPI or NAC. In summary, J774A.1-MacCM-dependent 3T3-L1 preadipocyte survival requires the Akt and ERK1/2 signaling pathways. Furthermore, ROS generation by J774A.1-MacCM is required for Akt and ERK1/2 signaling to promote 3T3-L1 preadipocyte survival. These data suggest potential mechanisms by which macrophages may alter preadipocyte fate. 相似文献

O-antigen-proficient and defined O-antigen-deficient mutants of Salmonella enterica serovar Typhimurium were compared for intracellular replication and induction of nitric oxide (NO) expression in the murine macrophage-like cell line J774-A.1. While O-antigen-proficient bacteria replicated and provoked induction of host cell NO synthesis to expected levels, DeltawaaK, DeltawaaL and DeltawaaKL mutants displayed increased growth yields and induction of significantly lower levels of macrophage NO production. The downregulation of NO production did not involve suppression of inducible nitric oxide synthase (iNOS) expression, yet it depended on bacterial protein synthesis during infection of J774-A.1 cells. In contrast, when inhibitor substances were used to block iNOS activity, the growth yield of the wild type significantly exceeded that of the DeltawaaL mutant bacteria. Inactivation of the Salmonella pathogenicity island 1 (SPI1)-associated bacterial type III secretion system did not affect intracellular replication in the wild type or the DeltawaaL background. However, inactivation of the SPI2-associated type III secretion strongly abrogated bacterial intracellular replication, and the DeltawaaLDeltassaV double mutant lost the ability to suppress NO expression. The results imply that a lack of O-antigen may increase bacterial fitness in J774-A.1 cells through suppression of iNOS activity, and that the O-antigen may protect against NO-independent restriction of bacterial intracellular replication. 相似文献
