Project description:AimsDoxorubicin (DOX)-induced heart failure has a poor prognosis, and effective treatments have not been established. Because DOX shows cumulative cardiotoxicity, we hypothesized that minimal cardiac remodelling occurred at the initial stage in activating cardiac fibroblasts. Our aim was to investigate the initial pathophysiology of DOX-exposed cardiac fibroblasts and propose prophylaxis.Methods and resultsAn animal study was performed using a lower dose of DOX (4 mg/kg/week for 3 weeks, i.p.) than a toxic cumulative dose. Histological analysis was performed with terminal deoxynucleotidyl transferase-mediated dUTP nick-end labelling assay, picrosirius red staining, and immunohistochemical staining. The mechanism was analysed in vitro with a low dose of DOX, which did not induce cell apoptosis. Microarray analysis was performed. Differentially expressed genes were confirmed by enrichment analysis. Mitochondrial damage was assessed by mitochondrial membrane potential. The production of inflammatory cytokines and fibrosis markers was assessed by western blot, quantitative polymerase chain reaction, and ELISA. A phosphokinase antibody array was performed to detect related signalling pathways. Low-dose DOX did not induced cell death, and fibrosis was localized to the perivascular area in mice. Microarray analysis suggested that DOX induced genes associated with the innate immune system and inflammatory reactions, resulting in cardiac remodelling. DOX induced mitochondrial damage and increased the expression of interleukin-1. DOX also promoted the expression of fibrotic markers, such as alpha smooth muscle actin and galectin-3. These responses were induced through stress-activated protein kinase/c-Jun NH2-terminal kinase signalling. A peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor (PPARγ) agonist attenuated the expression of fibrotic markers through suppressing stress-activated protein kinase/c-Jun NH2-terminal kinase. Furthermore, this molecule also suppressed DOX-induced early fibrotic responses in vivo.ConclusionsLow-dose DOX provoked reactive fibrosis through sterile inflammation evoked by the damaged mitochondria.

Project description:Arthritis is the most common extra-intestinal complication in inflammatory bowel disease (IBD). Conversely, arthritis patients are at risk for developing IBD and often display subclinical gut inflammation. These observations suggest a shared disease etiology, commonly termed 'the gut-joint-axis'. The clinical association between gut and joint inflammation is further supported by the success of common therapeutic strategies and microbiota dysbiosis in both conditions. Most data however support a correlative relationship between gut & joint inflammation, while causative evidence is lacking. Using two independent transgenic mouse arthritis models, either TNF- or IL-1dependent, we demonstrate that arthritis develops independently of the microbiota and intestinal inflammation, since both lines develop full-blown articular inflammation under germ-free conditions. In contrast, TNF-driven gut inflammation is fully rescued in germ-free conditions, indicating that the microbiota is driving TNF-induced gut inflammation. Together, our study demonstrates that, although common inflammatory pathways may drive both gut and joint inflammation, the molecular triggers initiating such pathways are distinct in these tissues.

Project description:Rheumatoid arthritis (RA) is a chronic autoimmune disease that is primarily characterized by synovial inflammation. Our previous studies demonstrated that the lymphatic system is critical for the development and maintenance of RA disease, and sufficient lymph drainage helps to improve joint inflammation. In this study, we found that NG-R1, the main active component in the traditional Chinese medicinal herb Sanchi, activating lymphatic function can attenuate synovial inflammation. According to histopathological staining of ankle sections, NG-R1 significantly decreased the area of inflammation and reduced bone destruction of ankle joints in TNF-Tg mice. Near infrared-indocyanine green (NIR-ICG) lymphatic imaging system has shown that NG-R1 significantly improved the lymphatic drainage function. However, the molecular mechanism of its activity is not properly understood. Our in-depth study demonstrates that NG-R1 reduced the inflammatory cytokine production of lymphatic endothelial cells (LECs) stimulated by TNF-α, and the mechanism ameliorated the phosphorylation of IKKα/β and p65, and the translocation of p65 into the nucleus. In summary, this study proved that NG-R1 promoted lymphatic drainage function to ameliorating rheumatoid arthritis in TNF-Tg mice by suppressing NF-κB signaling pathway.

Project description:Monoamine oxidase A (MAO A) degrades serotonin, norepinephrine, and dopamine and produces reactive oxygen that may cause neuronal cell death. We have previously reported that a novel transcription factor R1 (RAM2/CDCA7L/JPO2) inhibits the MAO A promoter and enzymatic activities. This study reports the roles of MAO A and R1 in apoptosis and proliferation. We have found that in serum starvation-induced apoptosis, p38 kinase, MAO A, and caspase-3 were increased, whereas Bcl-2 and R1 were reduced. Using a p38 kinase inhibitor, R1 overexpression, and MAO A inhibitor, we have shown that MAO A and R1 are downstream of p38 kinase and Bcl-2, but upstream of caspase-3. Inhibition of MAO A prevents cell apoptosis. This notion was further supported by the finding that serum starvation-induced apoptosis is reduced in cortical brain cells from MAO A-deficient mice compared with WT. In addition, we found that MAO A and R1 are involved in the c-Myc-induced proliferative signaling pathway in the presence of serum. Immunoprecipitation and immunohistochemistry experiments indicate that the oncogene c-Myc colocalizes with R1 and induces R1 gene expression. Using R1 overexpression, R1 small interfering RNA, and a MAO A inhibitor, we found that R1 and MAO A act upstream of cyclin D1 and E2F1. In summary, this study demonstrates the functions of MAO A and its repressor R1 in apoptotic signaling pathways.

Project description:The present study aimed to investigate the therapeutic effects and mechanisms of Yishen Jiangzhuo decoction (YSJZD) in a mouse model of cisplatin-induced acute kidney injury (AKI). The mice were divided into the NC, cisplatin and cisplatin + YSJZD groups. A concentration-dependent effect of YSJZD on cisplatin-induced AKI was observed and the optimal concentration for intervention was calculated. Changes in blood urea nitrogen and serum creatinine levels combined with hematoxylin and eosin and periodic acid-Schiff staining and transmission electron microscopy observations indicated that YSJZD enhanced renal function, reduced pathological injury and protected renal tubular epithelial cells in cisplatin-induced AKI mice. The results of the transcriptomic and enrichment analyses showed that the mechanisms of YSJZD may be associated with inflammation, oxidation, apoptosis and the TNF signal pathway. Immunofluorescence, oxidative stress index, terminal deoxynucleotidyl transferase dUTP nick end labeling assay and western blotting revealed that YSJZD downregulated apoptosis in the renal tissues of AKI mice and further decreased the expression levels of p-p65, p-p38 MAPK, TNF-α, cleaved-caspase-3 and malondialdehyde, while increasing the levels of NAD-dependent protein deacetylase sirtuin-3, glutathione and superoxide dismutase. Overall, the results showed that YSJZD could effectively abrogate cisplatin-induced AKI in mice through mechanisms primarily related to its anti-inflammatory, antioxidative and antiapoptotic effects by inhibited the TNF signal pathway. YSJZD warrants further investigation as a clinical empirical prescription.

Project description:BackgroundBinding of tumor necrosis factor (TNF) to TNF-receptor 1 (TNF-R1) can induce either cell survival or cell death. The selection between these diametrically opposed effects depends on the subcellular location of TNF-R1: plasma membrane retention leads to survival, while endocytosis leads to cell death. How the respective TNF-R1 associated signaling complexes are recruited to the distinct subcellular location is not known. Here, we identify palmitoylation of TNF-R1 as a molecular mechanism to achieve signal diversification.MethodsHuman monocytic U937 cells were analyzed. Palmitoylated proteins were enriched by acyl resin assisted capture (AcylRAC) and analyzed by western blot and mass spectrometry. Palmitoylation of TNF-R1 was validated by metabolic labeling. TNF induced depalmitoylation and involvement of APT2 was analyzed by enzyme activity assays, pharmacological inhibition and shRNA mediated knock-down. TNF-R1 palmitoylation site analysis was done by mutated TNF-R1 expression in TNF-R1 knock-out cells. Apoptosis (nuclear DNA fragmentation, caspase 3 assays), NF-κB activation and TNF-R1 internalization were used as biological readouts.ResultsWe identify dynamic S-palmitoylation as a new mechanism that controls selective TNF signaling. TNF-R1 itself is constitutively palmitoylated and depalmitoylated upon ligand binding. We identified the palmitoyl thioesterase APT2 to be involved in TNF-R1 depalmitoylation and TNF induced NF-κB activation. Mutation of the putative palmitoylation site C248 interferes with TNF-R1 localization to the plasma membrane and thus, proper signal transduction.ConclusionsOur results introduce palmitoylation as a new layer of dynamic regulation of TNF-R1 induced signal transduction at a very early step of the TNF induced signaling cascade. Understanding the underlying mechanism may allow novel therapeutic options for disease treatment in future.

Project description:In the present study, we explored SA's activity against DOX-induced cardiotoxicity and revealed its underlying mechanisms. Male Wistar rats (weight, 190-210g; n = 6) were randomly divided into four groups: group I, normal control; group II, DOX 15 mg/kg via intraperitoneal (ip) route; group III, administered DOX+SA 20 mg/kg; and group IV, administered DOX+captopril (CAP 30 mg/kg). SA and CAP were administered orally for seven days, and DOX (15 mg/kg) was injected intraperitoneally an hour before SA treatment on the fifth day. Forty-eight hours after DOX administration, animals were anesthetized and sacrificed for molecular and histology experiments. SA significantly mitigated the myocardial effects of DOX, and following daily administration, it reduced serum levels of lactate dehydrogenase (LDH) and creatine kinase isoenzyme-MB to near normal values. Levels of oxidative stress markers, glutathione-peroxidase, superoxide dismutase, and catalase, in the cardiac tissue were significantly increased, whereas malondialdehyde levels decreased after SA treatment in DOX-administered rats. Furthermore, DOX caused an inflammatory reaction by elevating the levels of proinflammatory cytokines, tumor necrosis factor-α (TNF-α), interleukin-1β (IL-1β), and endothelin- (ET-) 1, as well as nuclear factor kappa-B (NF-κB) expression. Daily administration of SA significantly repressed TNF-α, IL-1β, ET-1, and NF-κB levels. caspase-3 and Bax expression, bcl-2-like protein and caspase-3 activities and levels. Overall, we found that SA could inhibit DOX-induced cardiotoxicity by inhibiting oxidative stress, inflammation, and apoptotic damage.

Project description:The activity of the serine protease in the German cockroach allergen is important to the development of allergic disease. The protease-activated receptor (PAR)-2, which is expressed in numerous cell types in lung tissue, is known to mediate the cellular events caused by inhaled serine protease. Alveolar macrophages express PAR-2 and produce considerable amounts of tumor necrosis factor (TNF)-?. We determined whether the serine protease in German cockroach extract (GCE) enhances TNF-? production by alveolar macrophages through the PAR-2 pathway and whether the TNF-? production affects GCE-induced pulmonary inflammation. Effects of GCE on alveolar macrophages and TNF-? production were evaluated using in vitro MH-S and RAW264.6 cells and in vivo GCE-induced asthma models of BALB/c mice. GCE contained a large amount of serine protease. In the MH-S and RAW264.7 cells, GCE activated PAR-2 and thereby produced TNF-?. In the GCE-induced asthma model, intranasal administration of GCE increased airway hyperresponsiveness (AHR), inflammatory cell infiltration, productions of serum immunoglobulin E, interleukin (IL)-5, IL-13 and TNF-? production in alveolar macrophages. Blockade of serine proteases prevented the development of GCE induced allergic pathologies. TNF-? blockade also prevented the development of such asthma-like lesions. Depletion of alveolar macrophages reduced AHR and intracellular TNF-? level in pulmonary cell populations in the GCE-induced asthma model. These results suggest that serine protease from GCE affects asthma through an alveolar macrophage and TNF-? dependent manner, reflecting the close relation of innate and adaptive immune response in allergic asthma model.
