Apoptosis can be induced by various stimuli such as the ligands of death receptors, chemotherapeutic drugs and irradiation. It is generally believed that chemotherapeutic drugs induce mitochondrial damage, cytochrome c release and activation of caspase-9, leading to apoptosis. Here, we found that an isoprenoid antibiotic, 4-O-methyl ascochlorin, significantly induces typical apoptotic events in Jurkat cells including the degradation of poly (ADP-ribose) polymerase, DNA fragmentation, activation of caspase-3, -9 and -8, and cytochrome c release from mitochondria. Similar to Fas stimulation, 4-O-methyl ascochlorin but not staurosporine, cycloheximide and actinomycin D, induced apoptosis in SKW6.4 cells, in which apoptosis is strongly dependent on death-inducing signaling-complex. Bcl-2 overexpression in Jurkat cells completely suppressed the apoptosis, but procaspase-9 processing was partially induced. A caspase-8 inhibitor, IETD-fmk, effectively suppressed poly (ADP-ribose) polymerase cleavage and cytochrome c release. However, 4-O-methyl ascochlorin induced apoptosis in Jurkat cells deficient of caspase-8 or Fas-associated death domain protein. These results suggest that 4-O-methyl ascochlorin induces apoptosis through the mechanism distinct from conventional apoptosis inducers. 相似文献

The critical initiating event in atherogenesis involves the invasion of monocytes through the endothelial walls of arteries and the transformation of monocytes from macrophages into foam cells. Human THP-1 monocytic cells can be induced to differentiate into macrophages by phorbol myristate acetate (PMA) and can then be converted into foam cells by exposure to oxidized low-density lipoprotein (oxLDL). Also, during a chronic inflammatory response, monocytes/macrophages produce the 92-kDa matrix metalloproteinase-9 (MMP-9) that may contribute to the extravasation, migration, and tissue remolding capacities of the phagocytic cells. Here, we investigate the effect of ascochlorin (ASC), a prenylphenol antiviral compound from the fungus Ascochyta viciae, on oxLDL-induced MMP-9 expression and activity in human THP-1 macrophages. ASC reduced oxLDL-induced MMP-9 expression and activity in a time-dependent and dose-dependent manner. Also, an analysis of MMP-9 activity using pharmacologic inhibitors showed that ASC inhibits MMP-9 activity via the extracellular signal-regulated kinase 1 and kinase 2 pathways. Our results suggest that ASC may be useful as a potent clinical antiatherogenic agent, a topic of considerable interest in the biological chemistry of chemotherapeutic agents. 相似文献
