Nucleoli and cytoplasmic stress granules (SGs) are subcellular compartments that modulate the response to endogenous and environmental signals to control cell survival. In our opinion, nucleoli and SGs are functionally linked; they are distant relatives that combine forces when cellular homeostasis is threatened. Several lines of evidence support this idea; nucleoli and SGs share molecular building blocks, are regulated by common signaling pathways and communicate when vital cellular functions become compromised. Together, nucleoli and SGs orchestrate physiological responses that are directly relevant to stress and human health. As both compartments have established roles in neurodegenerative diseases, cancer and virus infections, we propose that these conditions will benefit from therapeutic interventions that target simultaneously nucleoli and SGs. 相似文献

Paraoxonase-1 (PON1) is a high-density lipoprotein (HDL)-associated serum enzyme thought to make a major contribution to the antioxidant and anti-inflammatory capacities of HDLs. However, the role of PON1 in the modulation of cholesterol efflux is poorly understood. The aim of our study was to investigate the involvement of PON1 in the regulation of cholesterol efflux, especially the mechanism by which it modulates HDL-mediated cholesterol transport. The enrichment of HDL(3) with human PON1 enhanced, in a dose-dependent manner, cholesterol efflux from THP-1 macrophage-like cells and ABCA1-enriched J774 macrophages. Moreover, an additive effect was observed when ABCA1-enriched J774 macrophages were incubated with both PON1 and apo-AI. Interestingly, PON1 alone was able to mediate cholesterol efflux from J774 macrophages and to upregulate ABCA1 expression on J774 macrophages. Immunofluorescence measurement showed an increase in PON1 levels in the cytoplasm of J774 macrophages overexpressing ABCA1. PON1 used an apo-AI-like mechanism to modulate cholesterol efflux from rapid and slow efflux pools derived from the lipid raft and nonraft domains of the plasma membrane, respectively. This was supported by the fact that ABCA1 protein was incrementally expressed by J774 macrophages within the first few hours of incubation with cholesterol-loaded J774 macrophages and that cyclodextrin significantly inhibited the capacity of PON1 to modulate cholesterol efflux from macrophages. This finding suggested that PON1 plays an important role in the antiatherogenic properties of HDLs and may exert its protective function outside the lipoprotein environment. 相似文献

Maurocalcine is the first demonstrated example of an animal toxin peptide with efficient cell penetration properties. Although it is a highly competitive cell-penetrating peptide (CPP), its relatively large size of 33 amino acids and the presence of three internal disulfide bridges may hamper its development for in vitro and in vivo applications. Here, we demonstrate that several efficient CPPs can be derived from maurocalcine by replacing Cys residues by isosteric 2-aminobutyric acid residues and sequence truncation down to peptides of up to 9 residues in length. A surprising finding is that all of the truncated maurocalcine analogues possessed cell penetration properties, indicating that the maurocalcine is a highly specialized CPP. Careful examination of the cell penetration properties of the truncated analogues indicates that several maurocalcine-derived peptides should be of great interest for cell delivery applications where peptide size matters. 相似文献

Our aim in this study was to investigate the effect of aging on the capacity of HDLs to promote reverse cholesterol transport. HDLs were isolated from plasma of young (Y-HDL) and elderly (E-HDL) subjects. HDL-mediated cholesterol efflux was studied using THP-1 and J774 macrophages. Our results show that E-HDLs present a lower capacity to promote cholesterol efflux than Y-HDLs (41.7 +/- 1.4% vs. 49.0 +/- 2.2%, respectively; P = 0.013). Reduction in the HDL-mediated cholesterol efflux capacity with aging was more significant with HDL(3) than HDL(2) (Y-HDL(3), 57.3 +/- 1% vs. E-HDL(3), 50.9 +/- 2%; P = 0.012). Moreover, our results show that ABCA1-mediated cholesterol efflux is the more affected pathway in terms of cholesterol-removing capacity. Interestingly, the composition and structure of HDL revealed a reduction in the phosphatidylcholine-sphingomyelin ratio (E-HDL, 32.7 +/- 2.7 vs. Y-HDL, 40.0 +/- 1.9; P = 0.029) and in the phospholipidic layer membrane fluidity in E-HDL compared with Y-HDL as well as an alteration in the apolipoprotein A-I structure and charge. In conclusion, our results shown that E-HDLs present a reduced capacity to promote cholesterol efflux, principally through the ABCA1 pathway, and this may explain the increase of the incidence of cardiovascular diseases observed during aging. 相似文献

The G protein-coupled sst2 somatostatin receptor is a critical negative regulator of cell proliferation. sstII prevents growth factor-induced cell proliferation through activation of the tyrosine phosphatase SHP-1 leading to induction of the cyclin-dependent kinase inhibitor p27Kip1. Here, we investigate the signaling molecules linking sst2 to p27Kip1. In Chinese hamster ovary-DG-44 cells stably expressing sst2 (CHO/sst2), the somatostatin analogue RC-160 transiently stimulates ERK2 activity and potentiates insulin-stimulated ERK2 activity. RC-160 also stimulates ERK2 activity in pancreatic acini isolated from normal mice, which endogenously express sst2, but has no effect in pancreatic acini derived from sst2 knock-out mice. RC-160-induced p27Kip1 up-regulation and inhibition of insulin-dependent cell proliferation are both prevented by pretreatment of CHO/sst2 cells with the MEK1/2 inhibitor PD98059. In addition, using dominant negative mutants, we show that sst2-mediated ERK2 stimulation is dependent on the pertussis toxin-sensitive Gi/o protein, the tyrosine kinase Src, both small G proteins Ras and Rap1, and the MEK kinase B-Raf but is independent of Raf-1. Phosphatidylinositol 3-kinase (PI3K) and both tyrosine phosphatases, SHP-1 and SHP-2, are required upstream of Ras and Rap1. Taken together, our results identify a novel mechanism whereby a Gi/o protein-coupled receptor inhibits cell proliferation by stimulating ERK signaling via a SHP-1-SHP-2-PI3K/Ras-Rap1/B-Raf/MEK pathway. 相似文献

Myoclonus–dystonia (M–D) is an autosomal-dominant movement disorder with onset in the first two decades of life. Mutations in the epsilon-sarcoglycan gene (SGCE, DYT11) on chromosome 7q21–q31 represent the major genetic cause of M–D in some populations. The syndrome was related with mutations in two other genes (DRD2 and DYT1). A second locus has been reported in one large M–D family (DYT15, 18p11), but no gene has been identified yet. In this review, we discuss genetic aspects of myoclonus–dystonia. 相似文献
