Project description:Cordyceps participates in various pharmacological activities including anti-tumor, and is involved in the regulation of NF-κB signaling pathway. However, the detailed role of cordycepin in suppression of NF-κB signaling pathway is less clear. In this study, we first analyzed the effect of cordyceps on NF-κB activity in TK-10 cells, and found that cordyceps resulted in a dose-dependent reduction in TNF-α-induced NF-κB activation. Here, we show that cordyceps mediated NF-kB inhibition induces apoptosis in TK-10 cells involved the serial activation of caspases. Moreover, we demonstrate that in addition to activating caspases, the cordyceps negatively modulates TNF-α-mediated NF-κB signaling to promote JNK activation, which results in apoptosis, and that NF-kB regulates antiapoptotic factor GADD45b and the JNK kinase MKK7. When the TNFα cytokine binds to the TNF receptor, IκB dissociates from NF-κB. As a result, the active NF-κB translocates to the nucleus. Cordyceps clearly prevented NF-κB from mobilizing to the nucleus, resulting in downregulation of GADD45b, whereas upregulation of MKK7 and phosphorylation of JNK (p-JNK). This increased Bax activation, leading to marked cordyceps-induced apoptosis. Bax subfamily proteins induced apoptosis through caspase-3. Furthermore, siRNA mediated inhibition of MKK7 downregulated p-JNK and The JNK inhibitor SP600125 strongly inhibited Bax. Thus, these results indicate that cordyceps inhibits NF-κB/GADD45b signaling activation to upregulate MKK7-JNK signaling pathway to induce apoptosis in TK-10 cells and support the potential of cordyceps as a therapeutic agent for renal cancer.

Project description:Increasing interest in the hazardous properties of zinc oxide nanoparticles (ZnO NPs), commonly used as ultraviolet filters in sunscreen, has driven efforts to study the percutaneous application of ZnO NPs to diseased skin; however, in-depth studies for epidermal barrier dysfunction remain lacking. Our epidermal barrier dysfunction model develops large gaps between keratinocytes due to keratinocyte-specific Cdc42 knockout, allowing ZnO NPs entry to the stratum basale of the epidermis, impacting melanocytes. ZnO NP application for 14 and 49 consecutive days induced melanoma-like skin lesions, dysregulated melanoma-associated gene expression, increased oxidative injury, inhibited apoptosis, and increased nuclear factor kappa B (NF-κB) p65 and Bcl-2 expression in melanocytes. Exposure to 5.0 µg·mL−1 ZnO NPs for 72 h increased cell viability, decreased apoptosis, and increased Fkbp51 expression in melanocytes, consistent with histological observations. The oxidative stress–mediated mechanism underlying the induction of anti-apoptotic effects was verified using the reactive oxygen species scavenger N-acetylcysteine. The entry of ZnO NPs into the stratum basale of skin with epidermal barrier dysfunction resulted in melanoma-like skin lesions and an anti-apoptotic effect induced by oxidative stress, activating the NF-κB pathway in melanocytes. These findings suggest that ZnO NPs are potentially carcinogenic for skin with a damaged barrier function.

Project description:NF-κB has an essential role in innate immune response and inflammation and is involved in cancer development and progression. We apply the SEC-PCP-SILAC method incorporating metabolic labeling, size exclusion chromatography and protein correlation profiling to construct a complex network of interactome rearrangement in response to NF-κB modulation in breast cancer cells. Our interaction network represents a complex insight into the dynamics of MCF-7 protein interactome associated with NF-κB pathway. Our dataset could serve as a basis for future studies characterizing role of NF-κB in breast cancer cellular pathways. This PRIDE project includes results from SILAC labeled and label-free replicates from the SEC-PCP-SILAC analysis of protein complexes in MCF-7 cells with inhibited and uninhibited NF-κB pathway, results from the immunoprecipitation experiment aimed at interaction partners of NF-κB factor RELA, analysis of total proteome after NF-κB inhibition, and results from SEC fractionation of untreated and unlabeled MCF-7 cells.

Project description:Mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) are known to induce the conversion of activated T-cells into regulatory T-cells in vitro. The marker CD69 is a target of canonical NF-κB signaling and is transiently expressed upon activation; however, stable CD69 expression defines cells with immunoregulatory properties. Given its enormous therapeutic potential, we explored the molecular mechanisms underlying the induction of regulatory cells by MSCs. Peripheral blood CD3+ T-cells were activated and cultured in the presence or absence of MSCs. CD4+ cell mRNA expression was then characterized by microarray analysis. The drug BAY11-7082 and a siRNA against RELB were used to explore the differential roles of canonical and non-canonical NF-κB signaling, respectively. Flow cytometry and real-time PCR were used for analyses. Genes with immunoregulatory functions, CD69 and non-canonical NF-κB subunits (RELB and NFKB2) were all expressed at higher levels in lymphocytes co-cultured with MSCs. The frequency of CD69+ cells among lymphocytes cultured alone progressively decreased after activation. In contrast, the frequency of CD69+ cells increased significantly following activation in lymphocytes co-cultured with MSCs. Inhibition of canonical NF-κB signaling by BAY immediately following activation blocked the induction of CD69; however, inhibition of canonical NF-κB signaling on the 3rd day further induced the expression of CD69. Furthermore, late expression of CD69 was inhibited by RELB siRNA. These results indicate that the canonical NF-κB pathway controls the early expression of CD69 after activation; however, in an immunoregulatory context, late and sustained CD69 expression is promoted by the non-canonical pathway and is inhibited by canonical NF-κB signaling. In order to study the molecular basis by which Multipotent Mesenchymal Stromal/Stem Cells (MSC) exert their immune regulatory function, immunomagnetically purified CD3+ T-cells from the peripheral blood of 3 individuals were activated and cultured in the presence or absence of MSCs. Following 5 days, CD4+ and CD8+ T-cells were further immunomagnetically selected and their gene expression profiles were obtained by microarrays and compared. Paired samples from 3 individuals were used for this analysis.

Project description:NF-κB is a key regulator of innate and adaptive immunity and is implicated in the pathogenesis of acute kidney injury (AKI). The cell type-specific functions of NF-κB in the kidney are unknown; however, the pathway serves distinct functions in immune and tissue-parenchymal cells. We analyzed tubular epithelial-specific NF-κB signaling in a mouse model of ischemia-reperfusion injury (IRI)-induced AKI. NF-κB reporter activity and nuclear localization of phosphorylated NF-κB subunit p65 analyses in mice revealed widespread NF-κB activation in renal tubular epithelia and in interstitial cells following IRI that peaked at 2-3 days after injury. To genetically antagonize tubular epithelial NF-κB activity, we generated mice expressing the human NF-κB super-repressor IκBα∆N in renal proximal, distal, and collecting duct epithelial cells. These mice were protected from IRI-induced AKI, as indicated by improved renal function, reduced tubular apoptosis, and attenuated neutrophil and macrophage infiltration. Tubular NF-κB-dependent gene expression profiles revealed temporally distinct functional gene clusters for apoptosis, chemotaxis, and morphogenesis. Primary proximal tubular cells isolated from IκBα∆N-expressing mice exposed to hypoxia-mimetic agent cobalt chloride were protected from apoptosis and expressed reduced levels of chemokines. Our results indicate that postischemic NF-κB activation in renal-tubular epithelia aggravates tubular injury and exacerbates a maladaptive inflammatory response.

Project description:Although therapy responsiveness to therapy in Burkitt lymphoma (BL) is high, relapsed disease and and chemoresistance remain a clinical challenge, and complete mechanisms underlying BL chemoresistance and how it can be circumvented is yet to be fully elucidated. In this study we present data showing that chymotrypsin-like serine proteases inhibitor Nα-tosyl-L-phenylalanine chloromethylketone (TPCK) and specific NF-κB inhibitor Bay-11 7082 can induce caspase-independent apoptosis in chemoresistant BL cells. We also demonstrate that both TPCK and Bay-11 7082-treatment leads to decreased NF-κB nuclear activity and that this is associated with sensitization of chemoresistant Burkitt lymphoma cells. Furthermore we investigated global transcriptional changes induced by Bay-11 7082 and TPCK in the DG-75 and Raji cell lines, respectively, by microarray analysis using Illumina BeadChips. TPCK-treatment of Raji and DG-75 cells resulted in 59 and 21 differently expressed genes, respectively, while Bay-11-treated Raji and DG-75 cells displayed 1403 and 8 differently expressed genes, respectively. Gene Ontology (GO) categorization confirmed enrichment of multiple GOs in Bay 11-treated Raji and DG-75 cells. Fifty percent of the 61 categories in Raji cells were categories sorting under Biological Processes and represented mostly increased gene expression. In DG-75 cells Bay-11 7082 induced significant gene ontology enrichment in only two categories, where the increased/decreased ratio was 1:1. Further unsupervised and supervised bioinformatics processing by Ingenuity Pathway Analysis indicated significant networks in response to TPCK and Bay 11 respectively, including association to NF-κB. Bay-11 7082 demonstrated deregulated NF-κB related members of receptor mediated cell death signaling, i.e TRAF2 and TRADD, as well as deregulated members of the NF-κB signaling pathway from the cytoplasmic compartment, i.e RELB, in Raji cells. Comparably NF-κB network analysis of Raji- and DG-75 cells treated with Bay-11 7082 and Raji cells treated with TPCK demonstrated deregulation of NF-κB target genes CD69 and IL8. These data indicates that NF-kB may play a role in overcoming chemoresistance in BL cells with defective classical apoptosis signaling.

Project description:The development of oral squamous cell carcinoma (OSCC) is a multistep process requiring the accumulation of genetic alterations. To identify genes responsible for OSCC development, we performed high-density single-nucleotide polymorphism array analysis and genome-wide gene expression profiling on OSCC tumors. These analyses identified "absent in melanoma (AIM2)" and "interferon-inducible gene 16 (IFI16)," mapped to the hematopoietic IFN-inducible nuclear proteins with 200-amino acid repeat (HIN-200) gene cluster in the amplified region of chromosome 1q23, with overexpression in OSCCs. AIM2 and IFI16 are cytoplasmic double-stranded DNA sensors for innate immunity and act as tumor suppressors in several human cancers. Knockdown of AIM2 or IFI16 in OSCC cells resulted in the suppression of cell growth and the induction of apoptosis, accompanied by the downregulation of NF-κB activation. Because all of the OSCC cell lines had impairment of p53 activity, wild-type p53 was introduced in p53-deficient OSCC cells, and as a result, the expression of wild-type p53 suppressed cell growth and induced apoptosis via suppression of NF-κB activity. Finally, the coexpression of AIM2 and IFI16 significantly enhanced cell growth in p53-deficient cells; in contrast, the expression of AIM2 and/or IFI16 in cells bearing wild-type p53 suppressed cell growth. Moreover, AIM2 and IFI16 synergistically enhanced NF-κB signaling in p53-deficient cells. Thus, expression of AIM2 and IFI16 may have oncogenic functions in OSCC cells inactivating p53 system. Copy number analysis of Affymetrix 250K SNP arrays was performed for 5 oral leukoplakia samples, 20 oral squamous cell carcinoma samples, and 8 oral squamous cell carcinoma cell lines.

Project description:Previous studies linked mac activation with the ubiquitination (ub) status of key proteins in inflammatory signal pathways. Lysine-48 ub (K48-ub) of the NF-κB inhibitor (IκB), the final checkpoint of the NFκB pathway, leads to IκB degradation and consequent NF-κB-associated inflammation. In contrast, TRAF6, an upstream positive regulator of the NF-κB pathway, is modulated by K63-ub, leading to its conformational change and activation. However, a comprehensive analysis of ub profiles of polarized macs has not been reported. If a unique ub signature is associated with individual mac subsets is not known.

Project description:Background: Glycyrrhizin, silymarin, and ursodeoxycholic acid are widely used hepatoprotectants for the treatment of liver disorders, such as hepatitis C virus infection, primary biliary cirrhosis, and hepatocellular carcinoma. Hypothesis/Purpose: However, few studies have evaluated the effects of these compounds on gene expression. Methods: Here, we used an oligonucleotide microarray approach to study the gene expression profile in human hepatoma cells treated with 25 μM of hepatoprotective agents. Results: Among a total of 30,968 genes, 252 genes were commonly regulated by all compounds. These compounds affected the expressions of genes involved in different biological pathways, such as neurotransmission and glucose and lipid metabolism. Genes involved in hepatocarcinogenesis, apoptosis, and anti-oxidative pathways were differentially regulated by all compounds. Moreover, interaction networks showed that nuclear factor-κB (NF-κB) might play a central role in the regulation of the gene expression network. Further analysis revealed that these hepatoprotectants inhibited NF-κB activation in a dose-dependent manner. Conclusion: Our data suggested that glycyrrhizin, silymarin, and ursodeoxycholic acid protected livers from damage by regulating the genes involved in apoptosis and oxidative stress. Moreover, the regulation of genes by hepatoprotectants might be through the suppression of NF-κB activities.
