Whether celastrol, a triterpene from traditional Chinese medicine, can modulate the anticancer effects of TRAIL, the cytokine that is currently in clinical trial, was investigated. As indicated by assays that measure plasma membrane integrity, phosphatidylserine exposure, mitochondrial activity, and activation of caspase-8, caspase-9, and caspase-3, celastrol potentiated the TRAIL-induced apoptosis in human breast cancer cells, and converted TRAIL-resistant cells to TRAIL-sensitive cells. When examined for its mechanism, we found that the triterpene down-regulated the expression of cell survival proteins including cFLIP, IAP-1, Bcl-2, Bcl-xL, survivin, and XIAP and up-regulated Bax expression. In addition, we found that celastrol induced the cell surface expression of both the TRAIL receptors DR4 and DR5. This increase in receptors was noted in a wide variety of cancer cells including breast, lung, colorectal, prostate, esophageal, and pancreatic cancer cells, and myeloid and leukemia cells. Gene silencing of the death receptor abolished the effect of celastrol on TRAIL-induced apoptosis. Induction of the death receptor by the triterpenoid was found to be p53-independent but required the induction of CAAT/enhancer-binding protein homologous protein (CHOP), inasmuch as gene silencing of CHOP abolished the induction of DR5 expression by celastrol and associated enhancement of TRAIL-induced apoptosis. We found that celastrol also induced reactive oxygen species (ROS) generation, and ROS sequestration inhibited celastrol-induced expression of CHOP and DR5, and consequent sensitization to TRAIL. Overall, our results demonstrate that celastrol can potentiate the apoptotic effects of TRAIL through down-regulation of cell survival proteins and up-regulation of death receptors via the ROS-mediated up-regulation of CHOP pathway. 相似文献

Anti-cancer small molecule ONC201 upregulates the integrated stress response (ISR) and acts as a dual inactivator of Akt/ERK, leading to TRAIL gene activation. ONC201 is under investigation in multiple clinical trials to treat patients with cancer. Given the unique imipridone core chemical structure of ONC201, we synthesized a series of analogs to identify additional compounds with distinct therapeutic properties. Several imipridones with a broad range of in vitro potencies were identified in an exploration of chemical derivatives. Based on in vitro potency in human cancer cell lines and lack of toxicity to normal human fibroblasts, imipridones ONC206 and ONC212 were prioritized for further study. Both analogs inhibited colony formation, and induced apoptosis and downstream signaling that involves the integrated stress response and Akt/ERK, similar to ONC201. Compared to ONC201, ONC206 demonstrated improved inhibition of cell migration while ONC212 exhibited rapid kinetics of activity. ONC212 was further tested in >1000 human cancer cell lines in vitro and evaluated for safety and anti-tumor efficacy in vivo. ONC212 exhibited broad-spectrum efficacy at nanomolar concentrations across solid tumors and hematological malignancies. Skin cancer emerged as a tumor type with improved efficacy relative to ONC201. Orally administered ONC212 displayed potent anti-tumor effects in vivo, a broad therapeutic window and a favorable PK profile. ONC212 was efficacious in vivo in BRAF V600E melanoma models that are less sensitive to ONC201. Based on these findings, ONC212 warrants further development as a drug candidate. It is clear that therapeutic utility extends beyond ONC201 to include additional imipridones. 相似文献

AbstractThe present study performed proteomic analysis of the midbrain and striatum of 6-hydroxydopamine (6-OHDA)-treated neonatal rats—a model of attention-deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD). Proteomic analysis revealed that a 58-kDa glucose-regulated protein (Grp58) was temporarily phosphorylated and its level was elevated by 6-OHDA. Furthermore, 6-OHDA increased the expression level of C/EBP homologous protein (CHOP), a mediator of endoplasmic reticulum (ER) stress response, in the midbrain and striatum. In vitro experiments using PC12 cells revealed that 6-OHDA or hydrogen peroxide could induce the elevation of Grp58 and CHOP. 6-OHDA could induce the elevation of Grp58 and CHOP in the presence of catalase, a hydrogen peroxide-removing enzyme, suggesting that the elevation of Grp58 and CHOP are induced by both hydrogen peroxide and p-quinone generated by 6-OHDA. Collectively, these findings suggest that ER stress involving the alteration of Grp58 and CHOP play a significant role in the induction of insults by 6-OHDA in vivo. 相似文献

Cyclooxygenase 2 and release of prostaglandin E2 are involved in many responses including inflammation and are upregulated during cellular senescence. However, little is known about the role of lipid inflammatory mediators in senescence. Here, we investigated the mechanism by which the COX-2/PGE2 axis induces senescence. Using the NS398 specific inhibitor of COX-2, we provide evidence that reactive oxygen species by-produced by the COX-2 enzymatic activity are negligible in front of the total senescence-associated oxidative stress. We therefore investigated the role of PGE2 by invalidating the PGE2 synthases downstream of COX-2, or the specific PGE2 receptors, or by applying PGE2 or specific agonists or antagonists. We evaluated the effect on senescence by evaluating the senescence-associated proliferation arrest, the percentage of senescence-associated β-galactosidase-positive cells, and the expression of senescent molecular markers such as IL-6 and MCP1. We show that PGE2 acting on its EP specific receptors is able to induce both the onset of senescence and the maintenance of the phenotype. It did so only when the PGE2/lactate transporter activity was enhanced, indicating that PGE2 acts on senescence more via the pool of intracellular EP receptors than via those localized at the cell surface. Treatment with agonists, antagonists and silencing of the EP receptors by siRNA revealed that EP3 was the most involved in transducing the intracrine effects of PGE2. Immunofluorescence experiments confirmed that EP3 was more localized in the cytoplasm than at the cell surface. Taken together, these results suggest that COX-2 contributes to the establishment and maintenance of senescence of normal human fibroblasts via an independent-ROS and a dependent-PGE2/EPs intracrine pathway. 相似文献
