Trafficking and recruitment of eosinophils during allergic airway inflammation is mediated by the phosphatidylinositol 3-kinase (PI3K) family of signaling molecules. The role played by the p110δ subunit of PI3K (PI3K p110δ) in regulating eosinophil trafficking and recruitment was investigated using a selective pharmacological inhibitor (IC87114). Treatment with the PI3K p110δ inhibitor significantly reduced murine bone marrow-derived eosinophil (BM-Eos) adhesion to VCAM-1 as well as ICAM-1 and inhibited activation-induced changes in cell morphology associated with reduced Mac-1 expression and aberrant cell surface localization/distribution of Mac-1 and α4. Infused BM-Eos demonstrated significantly decreased rolling and adhesion in inflamed cremaster muscle microvessels of mice treated with IC87114 compared with vehicle-treated mice. Furthermore, inhibition of PI3K p110δ significantly attenuated eotaxin-1-induced BM-Eos migration and prevented eotaxin-1-induced changes in the cytoskeleton and cell morphology. Knockdown of PI3K p110δ with siRNA in BM-Eos resulted in reduced rolling, adhesion, and migration, as well as inhibition of activation-induced changes in cell morphology, validating its role in regulating trafficking and migration. Finally, in a mouse model of cockroach antigen-induced allergic airway inflammation, oral administration of the PI3K p110δ inhibitor significantly inhibited airway eosinophil recruitment, resulting in attenuation of airway hyperresponsiveness in response to methacholine, reduced mucus secretion, and expression of proinflammatory molecules (found in inflammatory zone-1 and intelectin-1). Overall, these findings indicate the important role played by PI3K p110δ in mediating BM-Eos trafficking and migration by regulating adhesion molecule expression and localization/distribution as well as promoting changes in cell morphology that favor recruitment during inflammation. 相似文献

Somatostatin is a potent inhibitor of gastrin secretion and gene expression. Menin is a 67-kDa protein product of the multiple endocrine neoplasia type 1 (MEN1) gene that when mutated leads to duodenal gastrinomas, a tumor that overproduces the hormone gastrin. These observations suggest that menin might normally inhibit gastrin gene expression in its role as a tumor suppressor. Since somatostatin and ostensibly menin are both inhibitors of gastrin, we hypothesized that somatostatin signaling directly induces menin. Menin protein expression was significantly lower in somatostatin-null mice, which are hypergastrinemic. We found by immunohistochemistry that somatostatin receptor-positive cells (SSTR2A) express menin. Mice were treated with the somatostatin analog octreotide to determine whether activation of somatostatin signaling induced menin. We found that octreotide increased the number of menin-expressing cells, menin mRNA, and menin protein expression. Moreover, the induction by octreotide was greater in the duodenum than in the antrum. The increase in menin observed in vivo was recapitulated by treating AGS and STC cell lines with octreotide, demonstrating that the regulation was direct. The induction required suppression of protein kinase A (PKA) since forskolin treatment suppressed menin protein levels and octreotide inhibited PKA enzyme activity. Small-interfering RNA-mediated suppression of PKA levels raised basal levels of menin protein and prevented further induction by octreotide. Using AGS cells, we also showed for the first time that menin directly inhibits endogenous gastrin gene expression. In conclusion, somatostatin receptor activation induces menin expression by suppressing PKA activation. 相似文献

The cytotoxin-associated gene (Cag) pathogenicity island is a strain-specific
constituent of Helicobacter pylori (H. pylori) that
augments cancer risk. CagA translocates into the cytoplasm where it stimulates cell
signaling through the interaction with tyrosine kinase c-Met receptor, leading
cellular proliferation. Identified as a potential gastric stem cell marker,
cluster-of-differentiation (CD) CD44 also acts as a co-receptor for c-Met, but
whether it plays a functional role in H. pylori-induced epithelial
proliferation is unknown. We tested the hypothesis that CD44 plays a functional role
in H. pylori-induced epithelial cell proliferation. To assay changes
in gastric epithelial cell proliferation in relation to the direct interaction with
H. pylori, human- and mouse-derived gastric organoids were
infected with the G27 H. pylori strain or a mutant G27 strain
bearing cagA deletion (∆CagA::cat). Epithelial proliferation
was quantified by EdU immunostaining. Phosphorylation of c-Met was analyzed by
immunoprecipitation followed by Western blot analysis for expression of CD44 and
CagA. H. pylori infection of both mouse- and human-derived gastric
organoids induced epithelial proliferation that correlated with c-Met
phosphorylation. CagA and CD44 co-immunoprecipitated with phosphorylated c-Met. The
formation of this complex did not occur in organoids infected with
∆CagA::cat. Epithelial proliferation in response to
H. pylori infection was lost in infected organoids derived from
CD44-deficient mouse stomachs. Human-derived fundic gastric organoids exhibited an
induction in proliferation when infected with H. pylorithat was not
seen in organoids pre-treated with a peptide inhibitor specific to CD44. In the
well-established Mongolian gerbil model of gastric cancer, animals treated with CD44
peptide inhibitor Pep1, resulted in the inhibition of H.
pylori-induced proliferation and associated atrophic gastritis. The current
study reports a unique approach to study H. pylori interaction with
the human gastric epithelium. Here, we show that CD44 plays a functional role in
H. pylori-induced epithelial cell proliferation. 相似文献

Microtubule dynamics are essential for plant cell development and in producing responses to external stimuli. However, little is known about the regulation of microtubule dynamics or crosstalk between microtubule and stomatal movement. Here we identified microtubule reorganization as a crucial factor determining guard cell responses to dark and abscisic acid (ABA) signaling. As stomata opened, guard cells exhibited radially arranged cortical microtubules, which depolymerized into the cytosol when exposed to darkness and ABA. Suppression of microtubule disassembly by paclitaxel, a microtubule-stabilizing drug, significantly enhanced stomatal aperture under light, and partially blocked ABA- or darkness-induced stomatal closure. However, treatment with only the anti-microtubule drug, oryzalin, did not affect stomatal movement with or without external stimuli. Phosphatidic acid (PA) bound to a clade A type 2C protein phosphatase (PP2C), PP2CA, and deletion of PP2CA partially inhibited PA-induced microtubule depolymerization and stomatal closure. Moreover, microtubule reorganization was altered in the ABA-insensitive mutant pldα1, but not in the ABA-hypersensitive mutant pp2ca. We propose that a faithfully balanced reorganization of microtubules fulfills fundamental functions to enable the fast change of stomata in plant adaptive responses to developmental and environmental cues. 相似文献

The issue of multiparametric analysis of complex single cell assays of both static and flow cytometry (SC and FC, respectively) has become common in recent years. In such assays, the analysis of changes, applying common statistical parameters and tests, often fails to detect significant differences between the investigated samples. The cluster pattern similarity (CPS) measure between two sets of gated clusters is based on computing the difference between their density distribution functions' set points. The CPS was applied for the discrimination between two observations in a four-dimensional parameter space. The similarity coefficient (r) ranges between 0 (perfect similarity) to 1 (dissimilar). Three CPS validation tests were carried out: on the same stock samples of fluorescent beads, yielding very low r's (0, 0.066); and on two cell models: mitogenic stimulation of peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMC), and apoptosis induction in Jurkat T cell line by H2O2. In both latter cases, r indicated similarity (r < 0.23) within the same group, and dissimilarity (r > 0.48) otherwise. This classification and algorithm approach offers a measure of similarity between samples. It relies on the multidimensional pattern of the sample parameters. The algorithm compensates for environmental drifts in this apparatus and assay; it also may be applied to more than four dimensions. 相似文献

Nuclear bodies are relatively immobile organelles. Here, we investigated the mechanisms underlying their movement using experimentally induced interphase prenucleolar bodies (iPNBs). Most iPNBs demonstrated constrained diffusion, exhibiting infrequent fusions with other iPNBs and nucleoli. Fusion events were actin-independent and appeared to be the consequence of stochastic collisions between iPNBs. Most iPNBs were surrounded by condensed chromatin, while fusing iPNBs were usually found in a single heterochromatin-delimited compartment (“cage”). The experimentally induced over-condensation of chromatin significantly decreased the frequency of iPNB fusion. Thus, the data obtained indicate that the mobility of nuclear bodies is restricted by heterochromatin. 相似文献
