PDE inhibitors could increase cellular cGMP levels and are used to treat erectile dysfunction as well as pulmonary arterial hypertension. cGMP production was reported to be necessary for UVB-induced melanin synthesis, however, the effect of PDE5 inhibitor on melanin synthesis has not been examined. We found that PDE5 inhibitor (sildenafil or vardenafil) and the cGMP analog 8-CPT-cGMP stimulated CREB phosphorylation, leading to increased tyrosinase expression and melanin synthesis, which was counteracted by KT5823, a selective cGMP-dependent protein kinase (PKG) inhibitor. However, KT5823 did not affect cAMP-elevating agent-mediated melanin synthesis, indicating that KT5823 selectively inhibited cGMP-induced melanin synthesis. This is the first study to find that PDE5 inhibitor can promote melanin synthesis and reveal that PKG-dependent CREB phosphorylation and tyrosinase expression is involved in cGMP-induced melanin synthesis. Our results suggest that PDE5 inhibitor may be beneficial for the treatment of hypopigmentation diseases. 相似文献

The regulation of trophoblast apoptosis is essential for normal placentation, and increased placental trophoblast cell apoptosis is the cause of pathologies such as intrauterine growth retardation (IUGR) and pre‐eclampsia. X‐linked inhibitor of apoptosis (XIAP) is expressed in trophoblasts, but little is known about the role of XIAP in placental development. In the present study, the function of XIAP in the placenta and in HTR‐8/SVneo trophoblasts under hypoxic conditions was examined. In addition, the correlation between XIAP and immortalization‐upregulated protein‐2 (IMUP‐2) was demonstrated in HTR‐8/SVneo trophoblasts under hypoxia, based on a previous study showing that increased IMUP‐2 induces trophoblast apoptosis and pre‐eclampsia. XIAP was downregulated in pre‐eclamptic placentas (P < 0.05). In HTR‐8/SVneo trophoblasts, XIAP expression was decreased and the expression of apoptosis‐related genes was increased in response to hypoxia. Ectopic expression of hypoxia inducible factor (HIF)‐1α in HRT‐8 SV/neo cells induced the nuclear translocation of XIAP and alterations of XIAP protein stability. Furthermore, hypoxia induced nuclear translocated XIAP co‐localized with upregulated IMUP‐2 in trophoblast nuclei, and the interaction between XIAP and IMUP‐2 induced apoptosis in HRT‐8 SV/neo cells. The present results suggest that hypoxia‐induced down‐regulation of XIAP mediates apoptosis in trophoblasts through interaction with increased IMUP‐2, and that this mechanism underlies the pathogenesis of pre‐eclampsia.

Previously, our laboratory showed that nitric oxide (NO)/cyclic GMP (cGMP)/protein kinase G type‐Iα (PKG‐Iα) signaling pathway plays an important role in preventing spontaneous apoptosis and promoting cell proliferation in both normal cells (bone marrow stromal cells and vascular smooth muscle cells) and certain cancer cells (ovarian cancer cells). In the present study, we investigated the novel role of the cGMP/PKG‐Iα pathway in preventing spontaneous apoptosis, promoting colony formation and regulating phosphorylation of cAMP response element binding (CREB) protein and protein expression of inhibitor of apoptosis proteins (IAPs) and anti‐apoptotic Bcl‐2‐related proteins in NCI‐H460 and A549 non‐small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) cells. 1H‐(1,2,4)oxadiazolo(4,3‐a)quinoxalin‐1‐one (ODQ), which blocks endogenous NO‐induced activation of cGMP/PKG‐Iα, induced apoptosis and decreased colony formation. ODQ also decreased CREB ser133 phosphorylation and protein expression of c‐IAP1, livin, and survivin. DT‐2 (inhibitor of PKG‐Iα kinase activity) increased apoptosis by twofold and decreased CREB ser133 phosphorylation and c‐IAP1, livin, and survivin expression. Gene knockdown of PKG‐Iα expression using small‐interfering RNA increased apoptosis and decreased CREB ser133 phosphorylation, and c‐IAP1, livin, survivin, and Mcl‐1 expression. Inhibition of PKG‐Iα kinase activity with DT‐2 dramatically enhanced pro‐apoptotic effects of the chemotherapeutic agent cisplatin. Combined treatment of DT‐2 and cisplatin increased apoptosis compared with cisplatin or DT‐2 alone, showing a synergistic effect. The data suggest that the PKG‐Iα kinase activity is necessary for maintaining higher levels of CREB phosphorylation at ser133 and protein expression of c‐IAP1, livin, survivin, and Mcl‐1, preventing spontaneous apoptosis and promoting colony formation in NSCLC cells, which may limit the effectiveness of chemotherapeutic agents like cisplatin.

The development of multicellular organisms relies on the temporal and spatial control of cell proliferation and cell growth. The relationship between cell-cycle progression and development is complex and characterized by mutual dependencies. On the level of the individual cell, this interrelationship has implications for pattern formation and cell morphogenesis. On a supercellular level, this interrelationship affects meristem function and organ growth. Often, developmental signals not only direct cell-cycle progression but also set the frame for cell-cycle regulation by determining cell-type-specific cell-cycle modes. In other cases, however, cell-cycle progression appears to be required for the further differentiation of some cell types. There are also examples in which cell cycle and differentiation seem to be controlled at the same level and progress rather independently from each other or are linked by the same regulator or pathway. Furthermore, different relationships between cell cycle and differentiation can be combined in a succession of events during development, leading to complex developmental programs. 相似文献

The hepatitis C virus (HCV), the main cause of morbidity and mortality, is endemic worldwide. HCV causes cirrhosis and other complications that often lead to death. HCV is most common in underdeveloped nations, with the highest prevalence rates in Egypt. Tumor suppressor gene (P53) induces the expression of apoptotic antigen-1 gene (APO-1) by binding to its promoter for mediating apoptosis; an important mechanism for limiting viral replication. This study aims at investigating the impact of P53 72 Arg/Pro and APO-1 − 670 A/G polymorphisms on HCV genotype 4a susceptibility. Two hundred and forty volunteers were enrolled in this study and divided into two major groups; 160 HCV infected patient group and 80 healthy control group. HCV patients were classified according to Metavir scoring system into two subgroups; 72 patients in F0/1-HCV subgroup (patients with no or mild fibrotic stages) and 38 patients in F3/4-HCV subgroup (patients with advanced fibrotic stages). Quantification of HCV-RNA by qRT-PCR and fibrotic scores as well as genotyping of HCV-RNA, P53 at 72 Arg/Pro, and APO-1 at − 670 A/G were performed for all subjects. It was resulted that F0/1-HCV patients have significant differences of P53 at 72 (Pro/Pro and Arg/Arg) genotypes and dominant/recessive genetic models as well as APO-1 − 670 A/A genotype and dominant genetic model as compared to F3/4-HCV patients. Moreover, HCV patients have significant differences of P53 at 72 (Pro/Pro) genotype and recessive genetic model as well as APO-1 − 670 A/A genotype and dominant genetic model as compared to those of healthy individuals. Finally, it was concluded that P53 rs 1042522 (Pro/Pro and Arg/Arg) genotypes and APO-1 rs 1800682 A/A genotype may be potentially used as sensitive genetic markers for HCV genotype 4a susceptibility. 相似文献
