Fas ligand (FasL), perforin, TNF-alpha, IL-1, and NO have been considered as effector molecule(s) leading to beta cell death in autoimmune diabetes. However, the real culprit(s) in beta cell destruction have long been elusive, despite intense investigation. We and others have demonstrated that FasL is not a major effector molecule in autoimmune diabetes, and previous inability to transfer diabetes to Fas-deficient nonobese diabetic (NOD)-lpr mice was due to constitutive FasL expression on lymphocytes from these mice. Here, we identified IFN-gamma/TNF-alpha synergism as the final effector molecules in autoimmune diabetes of NOD mice. A combination of IFN-gamma and TNF-alpha, but neither cytokine alone, induced classical caspase-dependent apoptosis in insulinoma and pancreatic islet cells. IFN-gamma treatment conferred susceptibility to TNF-alpha-induced apoptosis on otherwise resistant insulinoma cells by STAT1 activation followed by IFN regulatory factor (IRF)-1 induction. IRF-1 played a central role in IFN-gamma/TNF-alpha-induced cytotoxicity because inhibition of IRF-1 induction by antisense oligonucleotides blocked IFN-gamma/TNF-alpha-induced cytotoxicity, and transfection of IRF-1 rendered insulinoma cells susceptible to TNF-alpha-induced cytotoxicity. STAT1 and IRF-1 were expressed in pancreatic islets of diabetic NOD mice and colocalized with apoptotic cells. Moreover, anti-TNF-alpha Ab inhibited the development of diabetes after adoptive transfer. Taken together, our results indicate that IFN-gamma/TNF-alpha synergism is responsible for autoimmune diabetes in vivo as well as beta cell apoptosis in vitro and suggest a novel signal transduction in IFN-gamma/TNF-alpha synergism that may have relevance in other autoimmune diseases and synergistic anti-tumor effects of the two cytokines. 相似文献

Pro-inflammatory cytokines are implicated as the main mediators of beta-cell death during type 1 diabetes but the exact mechanisms remain unknown. This study examined the effects of interleukin-1beta (IL-1beta), interferon-gamma (IFNgamma) and tumour necrosis factor alpha (TNFalpha) on a rat insulinoma cell line (RIN-r) in order to identify the core mechanism of cytokine-induced beta-cell death. Treatment of cells with a combination of IL-1beta and IFNgamma (IL-1beta/IFNgamma)induced apoptotic cell death. TNFalpha neither induced beta-cell death nor did it potentiate the effects of IL-1beta, IFNgamma or IL-1beta/IFNgamma . The cytotoxic effect of IL-1beta/IFNgamma was associated with the expression of inducible nitric oxide synthase (iNOS) and production of nitric oxide. Adenoviral-mediated expression of iNOS (AdiNOS) alone was sufficient to induce caspase activity and apoptosis. The broad range caspase inhibitor, Boc-D-fmk, blocked IL-1beta/IFNgamma -induced caspase activity, but not nitric oxide production nor cell death. However, pre-treatment with L-NIO, a NOS inhibitor, prevented nitric oxide production, caspase activity and reduced apoptosis. IL-1beta/IFNgamma -induced apoptosis was accompanied by loss of mitochondrial membrane potential, release of cytochrome c and cleavage of pro-caspase-9, -7 and -3. Transduction of cells with Ad-Bcl-X(L) blocked both iNOS and cytokine-mediated mitochondrial changes and subsequent apoptosis, downstream of nitric oxide. We conclude that cytokine-induced nitric oxide production is both essential and sufficient for caspase activation and beta-cell death, and have identified Bcl-X(L) as a potential target to combat beta-cell apoptosis. 相似文献

Clade B serine proteinase inhibitors (serpins) are intracellular proteins, whereas most of their identified targets are extracellular. A proposed intracellular role for these inhibitors is protection from apoptosis. We investigated the contribution of serpinB2 (plasminogen activator inhibitor-2, PAI-2) activity in TNF-alpha-induced apoptosis. PAI-2 is expressed in many normal and transformed cell types, particularly after stimulation with inflammatory cytokines. PAI-2 has been linked to protection from TNF-alpha-induced apoptosis, and a stabilizing interaction with the retinoblastoma protein (Rb1) has been proposed. We examined the activity of PAI-2 in TNF-alpha-induced apoptosis using HeLa, Isreco-1 and HT1080 cell lines. Stimulation with TNF-alpha protected each cell type from apoptosis induced by TNF-alpha and cycloheximide. Protection correlated with an increase in PAI-2 expression in IS-1 and HT1080 cells but not in HeLa cells where PAI-2 mRNA and protein were undetectable. PAI-2 was overexpressed in each cell type but gave no protection from TNF-alpha-induced apoptosis measured by cell viability, annexinV binding and caspase-3/7 activity. We detected wild-type Rb1, unchanged TNF receptor levels and induction of other apoptosis-protective factors in all cell types. In conclusion, elevated PAI-2 levels do not protect cells from TNF-alpha-induced apoptosis, and the protective effect of prior stimulation with TNF-alpha does not require PAI-2. 相似文献

Mice deficient in the RelA (p65) subunit of NF-kappaB die during embryonic development. Fetal liver (FL) hemopoietic precursors from these mice were used to generate RelA-deficient lymphocytes by adoptive transfer into lethally irradiated mature lymphocyte-deficient recombination-activating gene-1(-/-) mice. Strikingly, RelA(-/-) lymphocyte generation was greatly diminished compared with that of RelA(+/+) lymphocytes. The most dramatic reduction was noticed in the numbers of developing B cells, which were considerably increased when RelA(-/-) FL cells that were also TNFR1 deficient were used. The role of RelA was further investigated in FL-derived developing B cells in vitro. Our results show that RelA is a major component of constitutive and TNF-alpha-induced kappaB site-binding activity in developing B cells, and provide evidence for a direct role of TNF-alpha in killing RelA(-/-) B cells. The absence of RelA significantly reduced mRNA expression of the antiapoptotic genes cellular FLICE-inhibitory protein and Bcl-2. Retroviral transduction of RelA(-/-) B cells with either cFLIP or Bcl-2 significantly reduced TNF-alpha killing. Together, these results indicate that RelA plays a crucial role in regulating developing B cell survival by inhibiting TNF-alpha cytotoxicity. 相似文献

The retinoblastoma protein (RB) suppresses cell proliferation and apoptosis. We have previously shown that RB degradation is required for tumor necrosis factor alpha (TNF-alpha) to induce apoptosis. We show here the identification of two apoptotic effectors, i.e., c-ABL tyrosine kinase and p73, which are activated by TNF-alpha following RB degradation. In cells expressing a degradation-resistant RB protein (RB-MI), TNF-alpha does not activate c-ABL. RB-MI also inhibits TNF-alpha-mediated activation of p73. Genetic deletion and pharmacological inhibition of c-ABL or p73 diminish the apoptotic response to TNF-alpha in human cell lines and mouse fibroblasts. Thymocytes isolated from Rb(MI/MI), Abl(-/-), or p73(-/-) mice are resistant to TNF-alpha-induced apoptosis compared to their wild-type counterparts. This is in contrast to p53(-/-) thymocytes, which exhibit a wild-type level of apoptosis in response to TNF-alpha. Thus, c-ABL and p73 contribute to apoptosis induced by TNF-alpha, in addition to their role in promoting DNA damage-associated cell death. 相似文献

Integrins are cell surface heterodimeric transmembrane receptors that, in addition to mediating cell adhesion to extracellular matrix proteins modulate cell survival. This mechanism may be exploited in cancer where evasion from apoptosis invariably contributes to cellular transformation. The molecular mechanisms responsible for matrix-induced survival signals begin to be elucidated. Here we report that the inhibitor of apoptosis survivin is expressed in vitro in human prostate cell lines with the highest levels present in aggressive prostate cancer cells such as PC3 and LNCaP-LN3 as well as in vivo in prostatic adenocarcinoma. We also show that interference with survivin in PC3 prostate cancer cells using a Cys84--> Ala dominant negative mutant or survivin antisense cDNA causes nuclear fragmentation, hypodiploidy, cleavage of a 32-kDa proform caspase-3 to active caspase-3, and proteolysis of the caspase substrate poly(ADP-ribose) polymerase. We demonstrate that in the aggressive PC3 cell line, adhesion to fibronectin via beta1 integrins results in up-regulation of survivin and protection from apoptosis induced by tumor necrosis factor-alpha (TNF-alpha). In contrast, survivin is not up-regulated by cell adhesion in the non-tumorigenic LNCaP cell line. Dominant negative survivin counteracts the ability of fibronectin to protect cells from undergoing apoptosis, whereas wild-type survivin protects non-adherent cells from TNF-alpha-induced apoptosis. Evidence is provided that expression of beta1A integrin is necessary to protect non-adherent cells transduced with survivin from TNF-alpha-induced apoptosis. In contrast, the beta1C integrin, which contains a variant cytoplasmic domain, is not able to prevent apoptosis induced by TNF-alpha in non-adherent cells transduced with survivin. Finally, we show that regulation of survivin levels by integrins are mediated by protein kinase B/AKT. These findings indicate that survivin is required to maintain a critical anti-apoptotic threshold in prostate cancer cells and identify integrin signaling as a crucial survival pathway against death receptor-mediated apoptosis. 相似文献

In bone, a large proportion of osteoblasts, the cells responsible for deposition of new bone, normally undergo programmed cell death (apoptosis). Because mechanical loading of bone increases the rate of new bone formation, we hypothesized that mechanical stimulation of osteoblasts might increase their survival. To test this hypothesis, we investigated the effects of fluid shear stress (FSS) on osteoblast apoptosis using three osteoblast cell types: primary rat calvarial osteoblasts (RCOB), MC3T3-E1 osteoblastic cells, and UMR106 osteosarcoma cells. Cells were treated with TNF-alpha in the presence of cyclohexamide (CHX) to rapidly induce apoptosis. Osteoblasts showed significant signs of apoptosis within 4-6 h of exposure to TNF-alpha and CHX, and application of FSS (12 dyne/cm(2)) significantly attenuated this TNF-alpha-induced apoptosis. FSS activated PI3-kinase signaling, induced phosphorylation of Akt, and inhibited TNF-alpha-induced activation of caspase-3. Inhibition of PI3-kinase, using LY294002, blocked the ability of FSS to rescue osteoblasts from TNF-alpha-induced apoptosis and blocked FSS-induced inhibition of caspase-3 activation in osteoblasts treated with TNF-alpha. LY294002 did not, however, prevent FSS-induced phosphorylation of Akt suggesting that activation of Akt alone is not sufficient to rescue cells from apoptosis. This result also suggests that FSS can activate Akt via a PI3-kinase-independent pathway. These studies demonstrate for the first time that application of FSS to osteoblasts in vitro results in inhibition of TNF-alpha-induced apoptosis through a mechanism involving activation of PI3-kinase signaling and inhibition of caspases. FSS-induced activation of PI3-kinase may promote cell survival through a mechanism that is distinct from the Akt-mediated survival pathway. 相似文献

We investigated the role of wild-type p53 and c-myc activity in apoptosis induced by a combination of natural human tumor necrosis factor alpha (TNF-alpha) and natural human interferon alpha (IFN-alpha). Studies were performed with two human non-small-cell lung cancer cell lines, H226b, which has wild-type p53, and H226br, which has a mutant p53. The combination of IFN-alpha and TNF-alpha significantly inhibited cell growth and induced apoptotic cell death of both H226b and H226br, compared with IFN-alpha or TNF-alpha alone. Treatment with one or both cytokines did not affect the expression level of p53 in both cell lines. These results suggest that the combination of IFN-alpha/TNF-alpha induces apoptotic cell death through a p53- independent pathway. The c-myc oncogene is known to be involved in apoptosis induced by TNF. Antisense c-myc oligonucleotides have been reported to modulate cell growth or apoptosis in several cell lines. Antisense oligodeoxynucleotides were added to the culture of H226br cells before the addition of IFN-alpha/TNF-alpha. Antisense c-myc inhibited IFN-alpha/TNF-alpha cytotoxicity and apoptotic cell death. In conclusion, this study provides support for the speculation that TNF-alpha/IFN-alpha induce apoptosis through a c-myc-dependent pathway rather than a p53-dependent pathway.

Cell surface trafficking of Fas in NIT-1 cells and dissection of surface and total Fas expression. 总被引:3,自引:0,他引:3

The appearance of Fas receptor at the surface of pancreatic beta-cells affected by progressive insulitis strongly suggests that Fas-mediated beta-cell apoptosis plays an important role in the pathogenesis of type 1 diabetes. In support of this concept, the present study has shown that islet cells from NOD mice and the beta-cell line NIT-1 respond to the proinflammatory cytokines IL-1beta and IFN-gamma with Fas surface expression in a dose- and time-dependent manner. Moreover, the prevention of cytokine-induced surface Fas expression by actinomycin D, cycloheximide, and brefeldin A demonstrated that trafficking of Fas to the beta-cell surface requires RNA and protein synthesis and, in addition is critically dependent on intracellular protein transport. Compared with total cellular Fas protein, the amount of Fas at the cell surface was relatively small and indicated that Fas is preferentially expressed in cytoplasmic compartments of NIT-1 cells. It is concluded that inflammatory insults specifically induce translocation of Fas to the beta-cell surface and that interference with cell surface Fas expression is a new strategy to improve beta-cell survival in inflamed islets. 相似文献

Cytokines may participate in islet destruction during the development of type 1 diabetes. Expression of inducible nitric oxide synthase (iNOS) and subsequent NO formation induced by IL-1 beta or (IL-1 beta + IFN-gamma) may impair islet function in rodent islets. Inhibition of iNOS or a deletion of the iNOS gene (iNOS -/- mice) protects against cytokine-induced beta-cell suppression, although cytokines might also induce NO-independent impairment. Presently, we exposed wild-type (wt, C57BL/6 x 129SvEv) and iNOS -/- islets to IL-1 beta (25 U/ml) and (IL-1 beta (25 U/ml) + IFN-gamma (1000 U/ml)) for 48 h. IL-1 beta and (IL-1 beta + IFN-gamma) induced a significant increase in NO formation in wt but not in iNOS -/- islets. Both IL-1 beta and (IL-1 beta + IFN-gamma) impaired glucose-stimulated insulin release and reduced the insulin content of wt islets, while (IL-1 beta + IFN-gamma) reduced glucose oxidation rates and cell viability. IL-1 beta exposure to iNOS -/- islets impaired glucose-stimulated insulin release, increased insulin accumulation and reduced the insulin content, without any increase in cell death. Exposure to (IL-1 beta + IFN-gamma) had no effect on iNOS -/- islets except reducing the insulin content. Our data suggest that IL-1 beta may inhibit glucose-stimulated insulin release by pathways that are not NO-dependent and not related to glucose metabolism or cell death. 相似文献

Mechanisms of accelerated immune-mediated diabetes resulting from islet beta cell expression of a Fas ligand transgene 总被引:7,自引:0,他引:7

Nonobese diabetic (NOD) mice transgenic for Fas ligand (FasL) on islet beta cells (HIPFasL mice) exhibit an accelerated diabetes distinct from the normal autoimmune diabetes of NOD mice. This study was undertaken to define the mechanism underlying accelerated diabetes development in HIPFasL mice. It was found that diabetes in HIPFasL mice is dependent on the NOD genetic background, as HIPFasL does not cause diabetes when crossed into other mice strains and is lymphocyte dependent, as it does not develop in HIPFasL(SCID) mice. Diabetes development in NOD(SCID) recipients of diabetic HIPFasL splenocytes is slower than when using splenocytes from diabetic NOD mice. Beta cells from HIPFasL mice are more susceptible to cytokine-induced apoptosis than wild-type NOD beta cells, and this can be blocked with anti-FasL Ab. HIPFasL islets are more rapidly destroyed than wild-type islets when transplanted into nondiabetic NOD mice. This confirms that FasL(+) islets do not obtain immune privilege, and instead NOD beta cells constitutively expressing FasL are more susceptible to apoptosis induced by Fas-FasL interaction. These findings are consistent with the accelerated diabetes of young HIPFasL mice being a different disease process from the autoimmune diabetes of wild-type NOD mice. The data support a mechanism by which cytokines produced by the insulitis lesion mediate up-regulation of beta cell Fas expression, resulting in suicide or fratricide of HIPFasL beta cells that overexpress FasL. 相似文献

Bone marrow CD34+ cells from rheumatoid arthritis (RA) patients have abnormal capacities to respond to tumor necrosis factor (TNF)-alpha and to differentiate into fibroblast-like cells producing matrix metalloproteinase (MMP)-1. We explored the expression of mRNA for nuclear factor (NF)kappaB in RA bone marrow CD34+ cells to delineate the mechanism for their abnormal responses to TNF-alpha. CD34+ cells were purified from bone marrow samples obtained from 49 RA patients and 31 osteoarthritis (OA) patients during joint operations via aspiration from the iliac crest. The mRNAs for NFkappaB1 (p50), NFkappaB2 (p52) and RelA (p65) were examined by quantitative RT-PCR. The expression of NFkappaB1 mRNA in bone marrow CD34+ cells was significantly higher in RA than in OA, whereas there was no significant difference in the expression of mRNA for NFkappaB2 and RelA. The expression of NFkappaB1 mRNA was not correlated with serum C-reactive protein or with the treatment with methotrexate or oral steroid. Silencing of NFkappaB1 by small interfering RNA abrogated the capacity of RA bone marrow CD34+ cells to differentiate into fibroblast-like cells and to produce MMP-1 and vascular endothelial growth factor upon stimulation with stem cell factor, granulocyte-macrophage colony stimulating factor and TNF-alpha without influencing their viability and capacity to produce beta2-microglobulin. These results indicate that the enhanced expression of NFkappaB1 mRNA in bone marrow CD34+ cells plays a pivotal role in their abnormal responses to TNF-alpha and, thus, in the pathogenesis of RA. 相似文献
