Arginine vasopressin (AVP) plays a major role in the modulation of water reabsorption in mammalian kidney. In addition to short-term regulation of aquaporin 2 (AQP2) trafficking, AVP also has long-term effects to regulate the expression of AQP2 in renal collecting duct. However, the detailed mechanism of the long-term effects of AVP in kidney remains to be elucidated. We have searched for genes induced by AVP using the polymerase chain reaction-based suppression subtractive hybridization technique in AVP-responsive AQP2-transfected MDCK cells. We found that the expression of the genes such as VIP17/MAL, annexin II, stimulatory GTP binding protein, tubulin, and mitochondrial ATP synthase was induced by AVP treatment for 4h. These results suggest that AVP might induce the expression of several genes related to the apical targeting of newly synthesized AQP2 as well as that of AQP2 for the long-term modification of water permeability in renal collecting duct. 相似文献

Phospholipase D (PLD) has been reported to have an anti-apoptotic role in neutrophils. This study examined the effects of plasmids containing the cDNA of PLD on the apoptosis of neutrophils. The apoptotic rate of neutrophils treated with the pCDNA3.1 plasmid was similar to that of the untreated cells after 24 h culture. However, the addition of pCDNA3.1 containing the cDNA of either human PLD1 (pCDNA3.1-PLD1) or -PLD2 (pCDNA3.1-PLD2) to the culture media with or without transfection reagent significantly decreased the rate of spontaneous apoptosis but not Fas-stimulated apoptosis and the decreased apoptosis was blocked by 1-butanol. pCDNA3.1-PLD blocked the cleavage of procaspase-3 and -8. The phorbol myristate acetate stimulated the PLD activities of pCDNA3.1-PLD-treated neutrophils but did not stimulate the activities of untreated or pCDNA3.1-treated neutrophils. The level of the PLD1 protein was higher in the cultured neutrophils with pCDNA3.1-PLD than with the media or pCDNA3.1. The spontaneous apoptosis of neutrophils was inhibited and the PLD1 expression level was increased by the linearized or promoterless forms of pCDNA3.1-PLD1 and the plasmids containing the cDNA of the enhanced green fluorescent protein (pEGFP) and EGFP-PLD1. These results suggest that the plasmids containing mammalian cDNA inhibit the spontaneous apoptosis of neutrophils and modulate PLD. 相似文献

Rat primary chondrocytes express the sphingosine-1-phosphate (S1P) receptor, S1P(2), S1P(3), S1P(4), but not S1P(1). When chondrocytes were stimulated with S1P or phytosphingosine-1-phosphate (PhS1P, an S1P(1)- and S1P(4)-selective agonist), phospholipase C-mediated cytosolic calcium increase was dramatically induced. S1P and PhS1P also stimulated two kinds of mitogen-activated protein kinases, extracellular signal-regulated kinase (ERK) and p38 kinase in chondrocytes. In terms of the two phospholipids-mediated functional modulation of chondrocytes, S1P and PhS1P stimulated cellular proliferation. The two phospholipids-induced chondrocyte proliferations were almost completely blocked by PD98059 but not by SB203580, suggesting that ERK but not p38 kinase is essentially required for the proliferation. Pertussis toxin almost completely inhibited the two phospholipids-induced cellular proliferation and ERK activation, indicating the crucial role of G(i) protein. This study demonstrates the physiological role of two important phospholipids (S1P and PhS1P) on the modulation of rat primary chondrocyte proliferation, and the crucial role played by ERK in the process. 相似文献

3- and 10-Bromofascaplysins was previously found to possess cytotoxic activity. In this study, we investigated their cancer preventive and proapoptotic properties. These effects were tested on mouse skin epidermal JB6 P+ Cl41 cell line, its stable transfectants, and human tumor HL-60, THP-1, SNU-C4, SK-MEL-28, DLD-1, MDA-MB-231, and HeLa cells using a variety of assessments, including a cell viability (MTS) assay, flow cytometry, anchorage-independent soft agar assay, luciferase assay, mitochondrial permeability assay, and Western blotting. 3- and 10-Bromofascaplysins were effective at submicromolar concentrations as the anticancer agents, which exerted their action, at least in part, through the induction of caspase-8, -9, -3-dependent apoptosis. 相似文献

We investigated whether phosphatidic acid (PA) can differentiate the promyelocytic leukemia (PML)-retinoic acid receptor alpha (RAR alpha)-expressing acute promyelocytic leukemic cell line, NB4, to dendritic cell (DC)-like cells. Dioctanoyl-PA alone upregulated the expression of DC markers. The expression of DC markers on NB4 cells was potentiated by the overexpression of phospholipase D and upregulation was blocked by the addition of n-butanol, an inhibitor of PA production. The expression of CD11c, CD83, and CCR7 in PA-treated NB4 cells was further increased by tumor necrosis factor (TNF)-alpha treatment. Increased functional capacities were also found in PA-differentiated and TNF-alpha-activated NB4 cells with respect to changes in T-cell proliferation, cytokine production, endocytic activity, and cytolytic capacity against undifferentiated NB4 cells. PA alone increased the phosphorylation of extracellular signal-regulated kinase (ERK)-1/2. The expression of DC markers was downregulated by PD98059, a specific inhibitor of ERK kinase or transient transfection of mutant-ERK. The level of PML-RAR alpha fusion protein was decreased by PA treatment and PD98059 blocked the decrease of PML-RAR alpha. These results suggest that PA induces differentiation of NB4 cells into DC-like cells and that the upregulation of antigen presenting cell markers is mediated by the activation of ERK and the downregulation of PML-RAR alpha levels. 相似文献

Frondoside A is a pentaoside having an acetyl moiety at the aglycon ring and xylose as a third monosaccharide residue. Cucumarioside A2-2 is a pentaoside having glucose as a third monosaccahride unit. We compared the effects of frondoside A and A2-2 for cell death-inducing capability with close attention paid to structure-activity relationships. Both frondoside A and A2-2 strongly induced apoptosis of leukemic cells. Frondoside A-induced apoptosis was more potent and rapid than A2-2-induced apoptosis. A2-2-induced but not frondoside A-induced apoptosis was caspase-dependent. This suggests that holothurians may induce apoptosis of leukemic cells caspase-dependently or -independently, depending on the holothurian structure. 相似文献

Recombinant tumor necrosis factor-related apoptosis-inducing ligand (TRAIL) is currently under clinical trials for cancer, however many tumor cells, including hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) develop resistance to TRAIL-induced apoptosis. Hence, novel agents that can alleviate TRAIL-induced resistance are urgently needed. In the present report, we investigated the potential of emodin to enhance apoptosis induced by TRAIL in HCC cells. As observed by MTT cytotoxicity assay and the externalization of the membrane phospholipid phosphatidylserine, we found that emodin can significantly potentiate TRAIL-induced apoptosis in HCC cells. When investigated for the mechanism(s), we observed that emodin can downregulate the expression of various cell survival proteins, and induce the cell surface expression of both TRAIL receptors, death receptors (DR) 4 as well as 5. In addition, emodin increased the expression of C/EBP homologous protein (CHOP) in a time-dependent manner. Knockdown of CHOP by siRNA decreased the induction of emodin-induced DR5 expression and apoptosis. Emodin-induced induction of DR5 was mediated through the generation of reactive oxygen species (ROS), as N-acetylcysteine blocked the induction of DR5 and the induction of apoptosis. Also, the knockdown of X-linked inhibitor of apoptosis protein by siRNA significantly reduced the sensitization effect of emodin on TRAIL-induced apoptosis. Overall, our experimental results clearly indicate that emodin can indeed potentiate TRAIL-induced apoptosis through the downregulation of antiapoptotic proteins, increased expression of apoptotic proteins, and ROS mediated upregulation of DR in HCC cells. 相似文献

Protein phosphatase (PP) activity is associated with the regulation of apoptosis in neutrophils. However, the underlying regulatory mechanism(s) in apoptosis remain unclear. The type of cell death induced by okadaic acid (OA), the inhibitor of PP1 and PP2A, is characterized by apoptotic morphological changes of the cells and annexin V-positive staining without DNA fragmentation. The apoptotic effects of OA and calyculin A on neutrophils were observed at concentrations ranging from 50 to 200 nM, or 10 to 50 nM, respectively. Cyclosporine A (a PP2B specific inhibitor), however, did not exhibit any pro-apoptotic effects. OA and calyculin A, but not cyclosporine A, exhibited significant effects on protein levels and on the electrophoretic mobility of Mcl-1. zVAD-fmk, a pancaspase inhibitor, failed to inhibit the effect of OA on the caspase-3 activity, procaspase-3 processing, and the apoptotic rate of neutrophils. However, 4-(2-aminoethyl) benzenesulfonylfluoride (AEBSF), a general serine protease inhibitor, significantly abrogated the OA-induced mobility shift in procaspase-3, caspase-3 activation, and the apoptotic morphological changes in neutrophils. Moreover, OA enhanced the serine protease activity of the neutrophils. The addition of the proteinase-3 protein increased the rate of neutrophil apoptosis, which was also blocked by AEBSF but not by zVAD-fmk. These results suggest that OA induces procaspase-3 processing but that OA-induced apoptosis is caspase-independent and serine protease-dependent. 相似文献
