The cytotoxicity of cadmium (Cd) induced autophagy and apoptosis in MES-13 cells was determined by flow cytometry. Autophagy
was also assessed by formation of autophagosomes and processing of LC3. Pharmacological inhibition of autophagy resulted in
increased of cell viability, suggesting autophagy plays a role in cell death in Cd-treated mesangial cells. Cd also induced
a rapid elevation in cytosolic calcium ([Ca2+]i ), and modulation of [Ca2+]i via treatment with IP
3R inhibitor or knockdown of calcineurin resulted in a change in the proportion of cell death, suggesting that the release
of calcium from the ER plays a crucial role in Cd-induced cell death. Inhibition of Cd-induced ERK activation by PD 98059
suppressed Cd-induced autophagy, and BAPTA-AM eliminated activation of ERK. BAPTA-AM also inhibited Cd-induced mitochondrial
depolarization and activation of caspases. These findings demonstrated that Cd induces both autophagy and apoptosis through
elevation of [Ca2+]i, followed by Ca2+-ERK and Ca2+-mitochondria-caspase signaling pathways.

Snake myotoxins have a great impact on human health worldwide. Most of them adopt a phospholipase A2 fold and occur in two
forms which often co-exist in the same venom: the Asp49 toxins hydrolyse phospholipids, whilst Lys49 toxins are enzymatically
inactive. To gain insights into their mechanism of action, muscle cells were exposed to Bothrops myotoxins, and cytosolic Ca2+ and cytotoxicity were measured. In both myoblasts and myotubes, the myotoxins induced a rapid and transient rise in cytosolic
[Ca2+], derived from intracellular stores, followed, only in myotubes, by a large Ca2+ influx and extensive cell death. Myoblast viability was unaffected. Notably, in myotubes Asp49 and Lys49 myotoxins acted
synergistically to increase the plasma membrane Ca2+ permeability, inducing cell death. Therefore, these myotoxins may bind to acceptor(s) coupled to intracellular Ca2+ mobilization in both myoblasts and myotubes. However, in myotubes only, the toxins alter plasma membrane permeability, leading
to death.

HAb18G/CD147-mediated calcium mobilization and hepatoma metastasis require both C-terminal and N-terminal domains 总被引:4,自引:0,他引:4

HAb18G/CD147 is a heavily glycosylated protein containing two immunoglobulin superfamily domains. Our previous studies have indicated that overexpression of HAb18G/CD147 enhances metastatic potentials in human hepatoma cells by disrupting the regulation of store-operated Ca2+ entry by nitric oxide (NO)/cGMP. In the present study, we investigated the structure-function of HAb18G/CD147 by transfecting truncated HAb18G/CD147 fragments into human 7721 hepatoma cells. The inhibitory effect of HAb18G/CD147 on 8-bromo-cGMP-regulated thapsigargin-induced Ca2+ entry was reversed by the expression of either C or N terminus truncated HAb18G/CD147 in T7721C and T7721N cells, respectively. The potential effect of HAb18G/CD147 on metastatic potentials, both adhesion and invasion capacities, of hepatoma cells was abolished in T7721C cells, but not affected in T7721N cells. Release and activation of matrix metalloproteinases (MMPs), MMP-2 and MMP-9, were found to be enhanced by the expression of HAb18G/CD147, and this effect was abolished by both truncations. Thapsigargin significantly enhanced release and activation of MMPs (MMP-2 and MMP-9) in non-transfected 7721 cells, and this effect was negatively regulated by SNAP. However, no effects of thapsigargin or SNAP were observed in T7721 cells, and expression of HAb18G/CD147 enhanced secretion and activation of MMPs at a stable and high level. Taken together, these results suggest that both ectodomain and intracellular domains of HAb18G/CD147 are required to mediate the effect of HAb18G/CD147 on the secretion and activation of MMPs and metastasis-related processes in human hepatoma cells by disrupting the regulation of NO/cGMP-sensitive intracellular Ca2+ mobilization although each domain may play different roles.Received 1 April 2004; received after revision 15 June 2004; accepted 22 June 2004 相似文献

Cocktail recipes containing Psoralea corylifolia seeds (PCS) are used to empirically treat Parkinson disease. A PCS isolate Δ3,2-hydroxybakuchiol (BU) can inhibit dopamine uptake in dopamine transporter (DAT) transfected Chinese hamster ovary (CHO)
cells, and dopamine reuptake blockade may provide an alternative approach for ameliorating parkinsonism. Here, we assessed
the potential dopaminergic neuroprotective, and antiparkinsonian-like activity of BU. BU sample size was increased by using
a scale-up extraction paradigm. Pharmacologically, BU significantly protected SK-N-SH cells from 1-methyl-4-phenylpyridinium
(MPP+) insult, produced striking inhibitory actions on dopamine/norepinephrine uptake and WIN35,428 binding in synaptosomes on
in vivo administration, and significantly preventing poor performance on rotarod and dopaminergic loss in substantia nigra in 1-methyl-4-phenyl-1,2,3,6-tetrahydropyridine
(MPTP) mice. BU acts by protecting dopaminergic neurons from MPP+ injury and preventing against MPTP-induced behavioral and histological lesions in the Parkinson’s disease (PD) model, possibly
by inhibiting monoamine transporters. These findings suggest that BU could be meaningful in PD treatment.

Digoxin and ouabain are steroid drugs that inhibit the Na+/K+-ATPase, and are widely used in the treatment of heart diseases. They may also have additional effects, such as on metabolism
of steroid hormones, although until now no evidence has been provided about the effects of these cardioactive glycosides on
the synthesis of cholesterol. Here we report that digoxin and ouabain increased the synthesis of cholesterol in human liver
HepG2 cells, enhancing the activity and the expression of the
3-hydroxy-3-methylglutaryl-coenzyme A reductase (HMGCR), the rate-limiting enzyme of the cholesterol synthesis. This effect
was mediated by the binding of the sterol regulatory element binding protein-2 (SREBP-2) to the HMGCR promoter, and was lost
in cells silenced for SREBP-2 or loaded with increasing amounts of cholesterol. Digoxin and ouabain competed with cholesterol
for binding to the SREBP-cleavage-activating protein, and are critical regulators of cholesterol synthesis in human liver
cells.

In this study, a proteomic approach that combines selective labelling of proteins containing reduced cysteine residues with
two-dimensional electrophoresis/mass spectrometry was used to evaluate the redox state of protein cysteines during chronological
ageing in Saccharomyces cerevisiae. The procedure was developed on the grounds that biotinconjugated iodoacetamide (BIAM) specifically reacts with reduced cysteine
residues. BIAM-labelled proteins can then be selectively isolated by streptavidin affinity capture. We compared cells grown
on 2% glucose in the exponential phase and during chronological ageing and we found that many proteins undergo cysteine oxidation.
The target proteins include enzymes involved in glucose metabolism. Both caloric restriction and growth on glycerol resulted
in a decrease in the oxidative modification. Furthermore, in these conditions a reduced production of ROS and a more negative
glutathione half cell redox potential were observed.

Summary Studies have implicated Ca++ in the actions of ethanol at many biochemical levels. Calcium as a major intracellular messenger in the central nervous system is involved in many processes, including protein phosphorylation enzyme activation and secretion of hormones and neurotransmitters. The control of intracellular calcium, therefore, represents a major step by which neuronal cells regulate their activities. The present review focuses on three primary areas which influence intracellular calcium levels; voltage-dependent Ca++ channels, receptor-mediated inositol phospholipid hydrolysis, and Ca++/Mg++-ATPase, the high affinity membrane Ca++ pump.Current research suggests that a subtype of the voltage-dependent Ca++ channel, the dihydropyridine-sensitive Ca++ channel, is uniquely sensitive to acute and chronic ethanol treatment. Acute exposure inhibits, while chronic ethanol exposure increases45Ca++-influx and [3H]dihydropyridine receptor binding sites. In addition, acute and chronic exposure to ethanol inhibits, then increases Ca++/Mg++-ATPase activity in neuronal membranes. Changes in Ca++ channel and Ca++/Mg++-ATPase activity following chronic ethanol may occur as an adaptation process to increase Ca++ availability for intracellular processes. Since receptor-dependent inositol phospholipid hydrolysis is enhanced after chronic ethanol treatment, subsequent activation of protein kinase-C may also be involved in the adaptation process and may indicate increased coupling for receptor-dependent changes in Ca++/Mg++-ATPase activity.The increased sensitivity of three Ca++-dependent processes suggest that adaptation to chronic ethanol exposure may involve coupling of one or more of these processes to receptor-mediated events. 相似文献

Summary Rat peritoneal mast cells were isolated and purified by differential centrifugation in Ficoll. Cells pooled from three to four rats were suspended at approximately 106 cells/ml in a buffered salt solution and incubated for 1 h at 37°C in 300 l volumes in the absence or presence (9×10–4 M) of calcium chloride. Addition of D-galactosamine hydrochloride (DGM; 2.8×10–4 M) caused (in addition to basal release) a mean ±SEM percent histamine release of 15.7±5.2 in the presence of Ca++ and 19±4.9 in the absence of Ca++ (p>0.05). It is suggested that D-galactosamine does not require extracellular Ca++ for the release of histamine from the rat mast cell.A preliminary analysis of these results was presented at the International Symposium on calcium entry blockers and tissue protection, Rome, 15–16 March 1984. 相似文献

Activation of δ-opioid receptors (DOR) attenuates anoxic K+ leakage and protects cortical neurons from anoxic insults by inhibiting Na+ influx. It is unknown, however, which pathway(s) that mediates the Na+ influx is the target of DOR signal. In the present work, we found that, in the cortex, (1) DOR protection was largely dependent
on the inhibition of anoxic Na+ influxes mediated by voltage-gated Na+ channels; (2) DOR activation inhibited Na+ influx mediated by ionotropic glutamate N-methyl-D-aspartate (NMDA) receptors, but not that by non-NMDA receptors, although both played a role in anoxic K+ derangement; and (3) DOR activation had little effect on Na+/Ca2+ exchanger-based response to anoxia. We conclude that DOR activation attenuates anoxic K+ derangement by restricting Na+ influx mediated by Na+ channels and NMDA receptors, and that non-NMDA receptors and Na+/Ca2+ exchangers, although involved in anoxic K+ derangement in certain degrees, are less likely the targets of DOR signal.

Mechanism of HAb18G/CD147 underlying the metastasis process of human hepatoma cells has not been determined. In the present
study, we found that integrin α3β1 colocalizes with HAb18G/CD147 in human 7721 hepatoma cells. The enhancing effect of HAb18G/CD147
on adhesion, invasion capacities and matrix metalloproteinases (MMPs) secretion was decreased by integrin α3β1 antibodies
(p<0.01). The expressions of integrin downstream molecules including focal adhesion kinase (FAK), phospho-FAK (p-FAK), paxillin,
and phospho-paxillin (p-paxillin) were increased in human hepatoma cells overexpressing HAb18G/CD147. Deletion of HAb18G/CD147
reduces the quantity of focal adhesions and rearranges cytoskeleton. Wortmannin and LY294002, specific phosphatidylinositol
kinase (PI3K) inhibitors, reversed the effect of HAb18G/CD147 on the regulation of intracellular Ca2+ mobilization, significantly reducing cell adhesion, invasion and MMPs secretion potential (p<0.01). Together, these results suggest that HAb18G/CD147 enhances the invasion and metastatic potentials of human hepatoma
cells via integrin α3β1-mediated FAK-paxillin and FAKPI3K-Ca2+ signal pathways.

Sphingosine 1-phosphate (S1P) is a bioactive sphingolipid which regulates multiple biological parameters in a number of cell
types, including stem cells. Here we report, for the first time, that S1P dose-dependently stimulates differentiation of adipose
tissue-derived mesenchymal stem cells (ASMC) towards smooth muscle cells. Indeed, S1P not only induced the expression of smooth
muscle cell-specific proteins such as α-smooth muscle actin (αSMA) and transgelin, but also profoundly affected ASMC morphology
by enhancing cytoskeletal F-actin assembly, which incorporated αSMA. More importantly, S1P challenge was responsible for the
functional appearance of Ca2+ currents, characteristic of differentiated excitable cells such as smooth muscle cells. By employing various agonists and
antagonists to inhibit S1P receptor subtypes, S1P2 turned out to be critical for the pro-differentiating effect of S1P, while S1P3 appeared to play a secondary role. This study individuates an important role of S1P in AMSC which can be exploited to favour
vascular regeneration.

Cellular pathology induced by snake venom phospholipase A2 myotoxins and neurotoxins: common aspects of their mechanisms of action 总被引:3,自引:0,他引:3

A large variety of snake toxins evolved from PLA2 digestive enzymes through a process of ‘accelerated evolution’. These toxins have different tissue targets, membrane receptors
and mechanisms of alteration of the cell plasma membrane. Two of the most commonly induced effects by venom PLA2s are neurotoxicity and myotoxicity. Here, we will discuss how these snake toxins achieve a similar cellular lesion, which
is evolutionarily highly conserved, despite the differences listed above. They cause an initial plasma membrane perturbation
which promotes a large increase of the cytosolic Ca2+ concentration leading to cell degeneration, following modes that we discuss in detail for muscle cells and for the neuromuscular
junction. The different systemic pathophysiological consequences caused by these toxins are not due to different mechanisms
of cell toxicity, but to the intrinsic anatomical and physiological properties of the targeted tissues and cells.

We have analyzed the intracellular signals that allow lymphoblasts from Alzheimer’s disease (AD) patients to escape from serum
deprivation-induced apoptosis. The following observations suggested that modulation of ERK1/2 activity by Ca2+/calmodulin (CaM) is involved in preventing apoptosis: (i) ERK1/2 activity seems to support lethality in control cells, as
PD98059, the inhibitor of the activating MEK prevented cell death; (ii) control cells show a persistent and higher stimulation
of ERK1/2 than that of AD cells in the absence of serum; (iii) CaM antagonists have no effects on control cells, but sensitize
AD cells to death induced by serum withdrawal and increased ERK1/2 phosphorylation, and (iv) no apoptotic effects of CaM antagonists
were observed in AD cells treated with PD98059. These results suggest the existence of an activation threshold of the ERK1/2
pathway setting by Ca2+/CaM-dependent mechanisms, which appears to be the critical factor controlling cell survival or death decision under trophic
factor withdrawal.

Sp?tzle, a dimeric ligand, binds to the Drosophila Toll receptor and activates the signal pathway functioning in both embryonic patterning and innate immunity. Here, we used
the evolutionary trace approach based on phylogenetic information to predict the evolutionary epitope of Sp?tzle and found
that it mainly clusters in several adjacent loops of Sp?tzle far from the cystine-knot structural domain. We designed six
mutants of Sp?tzle based on the evolutionary epitope and transfected them into a stable cell line expressing the luciferase
reporter gene under the control of the drosomycin promoter. Luciferase assays showed that these mutants cannot significantly activate the drosomycin promoter, suggesting the involvement of these sites in binding of Sp?tzle to the Toll receptor. These data highlight the
importance of the Trp-loop of the mushroom-shaped Sp?tzle dimer in Toll receptor activation and demonstrate that evolution-guided
site-specific mutagenesis represents a useful and promising strategy for understanding the ligand-receptor interaction.

Summary Exogenous cyclic AMP (cAMP) inhibits the Na+, K+-cotransport system and stimulates the Na+, K+-pump and Na+, Ca2+ exchange in mouse macrophages. These effects are enhanced by inhibition of phosphodiesterase with methylisobutylxanthine (MIX). MIX alone showed little or no effect. A similar response was observed after stimulation of endogenous production of cAMP by isoproterenol. 相似文献

The effect of a phorbol ester upon the cholinergic regulation of potassium permeability in the rat submandibular gland 总被引:1,自引:0,他引:1
Acetylcholine releases calcium from cytoplasmic stores and permits an influx of calcium in salivary acinar cells. The resultant rise in [Ca2+]i causes an increase in potassium permeability which is an important part of the secretory response. We have investigated the effects of 12-0-tetradecanoyl phorbol-13-acetate, a potent activator of protein kinase C, upon this regulation of potassium permeability in superfused pieces of rat submandibular salivary gland. This compound inhibited the initial [Ca2+]o-independent component of the response of acetylcholine but had no effect upon the subsequent [Ca2+]o-dependent phase. This compound does not, therefore, appear to inhibit receptor-regulated calcium influx. 相似文献

Summary The role of Ca2+ in secretagogue-induced insulin release is documented not only by the measurements of45Ca fluxes in pancreatic islets, but also, by direct monitoring of cytosolic free Ca2+, [Ca2+]i. As demonstrated, using the fluorescent indicator quin 2, glyceraldehyde, carbamylcholine and alanine raise [Ca2+]i in the insulin secreting cell line RINm5F, whereas glucose has a similar effect in pancreatic islet cells. The regulation of cellular Ca2+ homeostasis by organelles from a rat insulinoma, was investigated with a Ca2+ selective electrode. The results suggest that both the endoplasmic reticulum and the mitochondria participate in this regulation, albeit at different Ca2+ concentrations. By contrast, the secretory granules do not appear to be involved in the short-term regulation of [Ca2+]i. Evidence is presented that inositol 1,4,5-trisphosphate, which is shown to mobilize Ca2+ from the endoplasmic reticulum, is acting as an intracellular mediator in the stimulation of insulin release. 相似文献

The porcine antral follicles, 3–6 mm in diameter, were dissected from the ovaries of mature pigs, and then granulosa and cumulus cells were isolated from each follicle. In atretic follicles, high activity of neutral Ca2+/Mg2+-dependent endonuclease and DNA ladder formation, estimated by electrophoresis, were noted in granulosa cells but not in cumulus cells. Extremely low activity of the endonuclease and no DNA ladder formation were observed in both types of cells obtained from healthy follicles. Moreover, apoptotic cells were observed histochemically among granulosa cells only. A good correlation (r=0.987) between the endonuclease activity of granulosa cells and the progesterone/estradiol ratio of follicular fluid in each follicle was found. These results suggest that apoptosis occurs in granulosa cells but not cumulus cells in the atretic antral follicles in pigs. 相似文献

The dose-dependent effect of CGP 45715A on the LTD4-induced Ca2+ response of glomerular mesangial cells has been studied. Our results demonstrate that the LTD4-dependent increase in the cytosolic Ca2+ concentration primarily involves an InsP3-mediated release of Ca2+ from intracellular storage sites and to a minor extent an enhanced influx of Ca2+ through receptor-operated Ca2+ channels located in the plasma membrane. The action of CGP 45715A on the Ca2+ response is an inhibitory one and is convincingly explained by a displacement of LTD4 from its receptor site(s). The contractile effect of LTD4 on pulmonary smooth muscle is proposed to be mainly caused by a receptor-mediated hydrolysis of phosphatidylinositol-4,5-bisphosphate. 相似文献

In the presence of Zn2+ (0.3 mM), carbachol (10–6 M) or histamine (10–5 M) induced the phasic response in guinea-pig taenia caeci while the tonic response was markedly inhibited. However, when the muscles were kept in Zn2+-containing medium following the first stimulation with either carbachol or histamine, neither application of carbachol nor of histamine elicited another phasic contraction. Caffeine (25 mM) did not induce contraction in the presence of Zn2+. After the washing out of caffeine in the presence of Zn2+, however, the muscle did then develop the phasic response on the application of carbachol or histamine. In conclusion, Zn2+ did not affect the carbachol or histamine-induced Ca2+ release from the storage sites. However, when Zn2+ was continuously present, Ca2+ was not supplied to the storage sites. Furthermore, carbachol and histamine mobilized a common cellular Ca2+ store, but they activated Ca2+ release channels different from the ones activated by caffeine in the Ca2+ storage sites. 相似文献
