Dihydrofuran-2-one and dihydropyrrol-2-one derivatives were identified as novel, potent and selective mineralocorticoid receptor (MR) antagonists by the structure-based drug design approach utilizing the crystal structure of MR/compound complex. Introduction of lipophilic substituents directed toward the unfilled spaces of the MR and identification of a new scaffold, dihydropyrrol-2-one ring, led to potent in vitro activity. Among the synthesized compounds, dihydropyrrol-2-one 11i showed an excellent in vitro activity (MR binding IC50 = 43 nM) and high selectivity over closely related steroid receptors such as the androgen receptor (AR), progesterone receptor (PR) and glucocorticoid receptor (GR) (>200-fold for AR and PR, 100-fold for GR). 相似文献

Dienogest was introduced as an oral progestin. Yet its strong oral potency on endometrial activity is not clearly explained. To circumvent this situation, steroid hormone receptor profiling using transactivation assay and endometrial activity test in rabbits were carried out with determination of plasma drug concentration. Agonistic/antagonistic activity on human progesterone receptor (PR), androgen receptor (AR), glucocorticoid receptor (GR), mineralocorticoid receptor (MR), estrogen receptor alpha (ERalpha), or estrogen receptor beta (ERbeta) were determined. Dienogest activate PR (EC50=3.4 or 10.5 nmol/l) with antagonistic activity on AR (EC50=420.6 or 775.0 nmol/l) but not agonistic nor antagonistic action on GR, MR (3000 nmol/l). Dienogest activate neither ERalpha nor ERbeta (3000 nmol/l). Progesterone activated PR with antagonistic activity on AR and on MR. Dydrogesterone showed a similar profile to progesterone. Norethisterone activated PR, AR, and ERalpha. Medroxyprogesterone acetate activated PR, AR, and GR. Danazol activated PR and AR. Collectively, dienogest has a good specificity to PR compared with the other drugs. By oral treatment, dienogest showed the strongest endometrial activity (ED50=0.0042 mg/kg) in McPhail test among other progestins (ED50 values for MPA, DYG, NES were 0.074, 1.9, >0.05 mg/kg, respectively). Dienogest showed higher plasma concentrations than those of the other progestins with higher doses. The estimated plasma concentration of dienogest at ED50 (3.66 nmol/l) was close to its EC50 value to activate PR. Thus, the stronger oral activity of dienogest could be explained simply by its in vitro potency on PR and its oral pharmacokinetic profile. 相似文献

Advanced glycation end products (AGE) are involved in tissue damage and remodeling. This study investigated whether AGE could elicit inflammatory and fibrogenic reactions in fibroblast cell line MRC-5 cells via autocrine production of aldosterone and if nifedipine could block the AGE actions through mineralocorticoid receptor (MR) antagonistic activity. AGE significantly up-regulated monocyte chemoattractant protein-1 (MCP-1), transforming growth factor-β (TGF-β), type III collagen and receptor for AGE (RAGE) mRNA levels in MRC-5 cells, all of which were completely blocked by nifedipine or an MR antagonist spironolactone. Aldosterone also dose-dependently increased MCP-1, TGF-β and type III collagen mRNA levels in MRC-5 cells, which were suppressed by nifedipine, but not amlodipine, a control calcium channel blocker. Further, AGE significantly stimulated aldosterone generation in MRC-5 cells, which was partially blocked by nifedipine or spironolactone. In this study, we demonstrated for the first time that AGE could evoke inflammatory and fibrogenic reactions in MRC-5 cells via aldosterone production, which were blocked by the MR antagonistic activity of nifedipine. Our present study provides a unique beneficial aspect of nifedipine on tissue damage and remodeling; it could work as an anti-inflammatory and anti-fibrogenic agent against AGE via MR antagonistic activity. 相似文献

Localization and regulation of glucocorticoid and mineralocorticoid receptor messenger RNAs in the hippocampal formation of the rat 总被引:9,自引:0,他引:9

Messenger RNAs coding for glucocorticoid (GR) and mineralocorticoid (MR) receptor proteins were localized to discrete subfields of the hippocampal formation by in situ hybridization histochemistry, using cRNA probes of approximately equivalent specific activity. Both GR and MR mRNAs were present in all subfields examined; GR mRNA was of greatest abundance in CA1, while MR mRNA was most densely labeled in CA3. In all subfields examined, MR mRNA was considerably more abundant than GR mRNA. Removal of circulating glucocorticoids by adrenalectomy precipitated an up-regulation of GR mRNA in subfields CA1-2 and the dentate gyrus, which was reversed by dexamethasone replacement. High doses of dexamethasone significantly down-regulated GR mRNA in CA3. In contrast, adrenalectomy produced significant up-regulation of MR mRNA only in subfield CA1-2. The data indicate that steroid receptor mRNAs are differentially distributed in hippocampus, and that sensitivity to steroids occurs within defined structural domains of the hippocampal formation. 相似文献

11beta-hydroxysteroid dehydrogenase (11beta-HSD) type 2 has been considered to protect the mineralocorticoid receptor (MR) by converting 11beta-hydroxyglucocorticoids into their inactive 11-keto forms, thereby providing specificity to the MR for aldosterone. To investigate the functional protection of the MR by 11beta-HSD2, we coexpressed epitope-tagged MR and 11beta-HSD2 in HEK-293 cells lacking 11beta-HSD2 activity and analyzed their subcellular localization by fluorescence microscopy. When expressed alone in the absence of hormones, the MR was both cytoplasmic and nuclear. However, when coexpressed with 11beta-HSD2, the MR displayed a reticular distribution pattern, suggesting association with 11beta-HSD2 at the endoplasmic reticulum membrane. The endoplasmic reticulum membrane localization of the MR was observed upon coexpression only with 11beta-HSD2, but not with 11beta-HSD1 or other steroid-metabolizing enzymes. Aldosterone induced rapid nuclear translocation of the MR, whereas moderate cortisol concentrations (10-200 nm) did not activate the receptor, due to 11beta-HSD2-dependent oxidation to cortisone. Compromised 11beta-HSD2 activity (due to genetic mutations, the presence of inhibitors, or saturating cortisol concentrations) led to cortisol-induced nuclear accumulation of the MR. Surprisingly, the 11beta-HSD2 product cortisone blocked the aldosterone-induced MR activation by a strictly 11beta-HSD2-dependent mechanism. Our results provide evidence that 11beta-HSD2, besides inactivating 11beta-hydroxyglucocorticoids, functionally interacts with the MR and directly regulates the magnitude of aldosterone-induced MR activation. 相似文献

The motilin receptor (MR) belongs to a family of Class I G protein-coupled receptors that also includes growth hormone secretagogue receptor (GHSR). Their potentially unique structure and the molecular basis of their binding and activation are not yet clear. We previously reported that the perimembranous residues in the predicted extracellular loops and amino-terminal tail of the MR were important for responses to the natural peptide ligand, motilin, and the transmembrane domains of the MR were important for a non-peptidyl ligand, erythromycin. We also reported that the perimembranous residues in the second extracellular loop of the GHSR were critical for natural ligand ghrelin binding and activity. The MR is 52% identical to GHSR, with 86% sequence identity in the transmembrane domains. In the current work, to gain insight into a relationship between MR and GHSR, we studied functional responses to motilin, erythromycin and ghrelin of expression cells of chimeric constructs of MR and GHSR and co-expression cells of both MR and GHSR. We also generated human MR transgenic mice, and clarified a relationship between motilin and ghrelin. MR(1-62)/GHSR(68-366) construct responded only to ghrelin, MR(1-102)/GHSR(108-366) responded to ghrelin and erythromycin, and MR(1-129)/GHSR(135-366) and MR(1-178)/GHSR(184-366) responded to erythromycin, while GHSR(1-183)/MR(179-412) responded to neither motilin, erythromycin nor ghrelin. MR and GHSR co-expression cells have no additional responses to these ligands. Motilin or erythromycin administration to human MR transgenic mice resulted in a decrease of serum acyl-ghrelin levels, while MR and GHSR mRNA expression in the gastrointestinal tracts were not changed. These data suggested that in species expressing both motilin-MR and ghrelin-GHSR, there is a compensatory relationship in vivo. 相似文献

The autonomous activation function-2 (AF-2) in the mineralocorticoid receptor (MR) E/F domain is known to play a major role in the ligand-induced transactivation function of MR; however, it remained unclear about the transactivation function of its A/B domain. We therefore tried to characterize the MR A/B domain as the AF-1 and further studied the actions of known coactivators for AF-2 in the E/F ligand-binding domain in the function of the MR A/B domain. Deletion analyses of rat and human MRs revealed that the A/B domains harbor a transactivation function acting as AF-1. The MR mutant (E959Q) with a point mutation in helix 12, which causes a complete loss of MR AF-2 activity, still retained ligand-induced transactivation function, indicating a significant role for AF-1 in the full activity of the ligand-induced MR function. Among the coactivators tested to potentiate the MR AF-2, TIF2 and p300 potentiated the MR AF-1 through two different core regions [amino acids (a.a.) 1-169, a.a. 451-603] and exhibited functional interactions with the MR A/B domain in the cultured cells. However, such interactions were undetectable in a yeast and in an in vitro glutathione-S-transferase pull-down assay, indicating that the functional interaction of TIF2 and p300 with the MR A/B domain to support the MR AF-1 activity require some unknown nuclear factor(s) or a proper modification of the A/B domain in the cells. 相似文献

Pulmonary surfactant protein A up-regulates activity of the mannose receptor,a pattern recognition receptor expressed on human macrophages 总被引:5,自引:0,他引:5

Inhaled particulates and microbes are continually cleared by a complex array of lung innate immune determinants, including alveolar macrophages (AMs). AMs are unique cells with an enhanced capacity for phagocytosis that is due, in part, to increased activity of the macrophage mannose receptor (MR), a pattern recognition receptor for various microorganisms. The local factors that "shape" AM function are not well understood. Surfactant protein A (SP-A), a major component of lung surfactant, participates in the innate immune response and can enhance phagocytosis. Here we show that SP-A selectively enhances MR expression on human monocyte-derived macrophages, a process involving both the attached sugars and collagen-like domain of SP-A. The newly expressed MR is functional. Monocyte-derived macrophages on an SP-A substrate demonstrated enhanced pinocytosis of mannose BSA and phagocytosis of Mycobacterium tuberculosis lipoarabinomannan-coated microspheres. The newly expressed MR likely came from intracellular pools because: 1) up-regulation of the MR by SP-A occurred by 1 h, 2) new protein synthesis was not necessary for MR up-regulation, and 3) pinocytosis of mannose BSA via MR recycling was increased. AMs from SP-A(-/-) mice have reduced MR expression relative to SP-A(+/+). SP-A up-regulation of MR activity provides a mechanism for enhanced phagocytosis of microbes by AMs, thereby enhancing lung host defense against extracellular pathogens or, paradoxically, enhancing the potential for intracellular pathogens to enter their intracellular niche. SP-A contributes to the alternative activation state of the AM in the lung. 相似文献

Age-dependent expression of glucocorticoid- and mineralocorticoid receptors on neural precursor cell populations in the adult murine hippocampus 总被引:5,自引:0,他引:5
Steroid hormones are regulators of adult hippocampal neurogenesis and are central to hypotheses regarding adult neurogenesis in age-related and psychiatric disturbances associated with altered hippocampal plasticity--most notably dementias and major depression. Using immunohistochemistry, we examined the expression of glucocorticoid (GR) and mineralocorticoid (MR) receptors during adult hippocampal neurogenesis. In young mice only 27% of dividing cells in the subgranular zone expressed GR, whereas 4 weeks after division 87% had become positive for GR and MR. GR was expressed by 50% of the radial glia-like type-1 and type-2a progenitor cells, whereas MR was expressed only by mature calbindin-positive granule cells. Doublecortin-positive neuronal progenitor cells (type-2b) and early postmitotic calretinin-positive neurons were devoid of GR and MR expression. Fifty per cent of the intermediate type-3 cells showed GR expression, possibly reflecting cells terminating maturation. Thus, all subpopulations of dividing precursor cells showed an identical receptor profile (50% GR, no MR), except for type-2b cells, which expressed neither receptor. There was also no overlap between calretinin and GR early postnatally (P8) or after physical activity or exposure to an enriched environment, both of which are potent neurogenic stimuli. In contrast, in old age calretinin-positive young neurons became GR and MR positive, suggesting increased steroid sensitivity. Age also increased the expression of GR in type-1 and type-2a precursor cells. Other intermediates were so rare in old age that they could not be studied. This course and variability of receptor expression in aging might help to explain differential vulnerability of adult neural precursor cells to corticoid-mediated influences. 相似文献

The increase in mannose receptor recycling favors arginase induction and Trypanosoma cruzi survival in macrophages 总被引:1,自引:0,他引:1
Garrido VV Dulgerian LR Stempin CC Cerbán FM 《International journal of biological sciences》2011,7(9):1257-1272
The macrophage mannose receptor (MR) is a pattern recognition receptor of the innate immune system that binds to microbial structures bearing mannose, fucose and N-acetylglucosamine on their surface. Trypanosoma cruzi antigen cruzipain (Cz) is found in the different developmental forms of the parasite. This glycoprotein has a highly mannosylated C-terminal domain that participates in the host-antigen contact. Our group previously demonstrated that Cz-macrophage (Mo) interaction could modulate the immune response against T. cruzi through the induction of a preferential metabolic pathway. In this work, we have studied in Mo the role of MR in arginase induction and in T. cruzi survival using different MR ligands. We have showed that pre-incubation of T. cruzi infected cells with mannose-Bovine Serum Albumin (Man-BSA, MR specific ligand) biased nitric oxide (NO)/urea balance towards urea production and increased intracellular amastigotes growth. The study of intracellular signals showed that pre-incubation with Man-BSA in T. cruzi J774 infected cells induced down-regulation of JNK and p44/p42 phosphorylation and increased of p38 MAPK phosphorylation. These results are coincident with previous data showing that Cz also modifies the MAPK phosphorylation profile induced by the parasite. In addition, we have showed by confocal microscopy that Cz and Man-BSA enhance MR recycling. Furthermore, we studied MR behavior during T. cruzi infection in vivo. MR was up-regulated in F4/80+ cells from T. cruzi infected mice at 13 and 15 days post infection. Besides, we investigated the effect of MR blocking antibody in T. cruzi infected peritoneal Mo. Arginase activity and parasite growth were decreased in infected cells pre-incubated with anti-MR antibody as compared with infected cells treated with control antibody. Therefore, we postulate that during T. cruzi infection, Cz may contact with MR, increasing MR recycling which leads to arginase activity up-regulation and intracellular parasite growth. 相似文献

The mannose receptor (MR) is a heavily glycosylated endocytic receptor that recognizes both mannosylated and sulfated ligands through its C-type lectin domains and cysteine-rich (CR) domain, respectively. Differential binding properties have been described for MR isolated from different sources, and we hypothesized that this could be due to altered glycosylation. Using MR transductants and purified MR, we demonstrate that glycosylation differentially affects both MR lectin activities. MR transductants generated in glycosylation mutant cell lines lacked most mannose internalization activity, but could internalize sulfated glycans. Accordingly, purified MR bearing truncated Man5-GlcNAc2 glycans (Man5 -MR) or non-sialylated complex glycans (SA0-MR) did not bind mannosylated glycans, but could recognize SO4-3-Gal in vitro. Additional studies showed that, although mannose recognition was largely independent of the oligomerization state of the protein, recognition of sulfated carbohydrates was mostly mediated by self-associated MR and that, in SA0-MR, there was a higher proportion of oligomeric MR. These results suggest that self-association could lead to multiple presentation of CR domains and enhanced avidity for sulfated sugars and that non-sialylated MR is predisposed to oligomerize. Therefore, the glycosylation of MR, terminal sialylation in particular, could influence its binding properties at two levels. (i) It is required for mannose recognition; and (ii) it modulates the tendency of MR to self-associate, effectively regulating the avidity of the CR domain for sulfated sugar ligands. 相似文献
