Phosphatidylinositol 3-kinase and protein kinase C are required for the inhibition of caspase activity by epidermal growth factor. (1/443)

The mechanism by which growth factors exert an anti-apoptotic function on many cell types is not well understood. This issue is addressed in relation to epidermal growth factor (EGF) which inhibits apoptosis induced by staurosporine or wortmannin in an epithelial tumour cell line (CNE-2). The presence of EGF substantially reduced the in vitro Ac-DEVD-AMC hydrolytic activity and almost completely suppressed the intracellular cleavage of poly(ADP-ribose) polymerase in staurosporine- or wortmannin-treated cells. Staurosporine but not wortmannin caused the intracellular proteolytic processing of pro-caspase-3 and this event was transiently inhibited by EGF. Staurosporine-induced apoptosis was not inhibited by EGF in the presence of wortmannin or LY294002. Similarly, EGF failed to inhibit wortmannin-induced apoptosis in the presence of staurosporine, chelerythrine chloride or Go6850. These results suggest that phosphatidylinositol 3-kinase and protein kinase C play a role in the survival function of EGF but the reduction of cellular caspase activity cannot be satisfactorily explained by a lack of pro-caspase-3 activation.  (+info)

Effects of prostaglandin F2 alpha on intracellular pH, intracellular calcium, cell shortening and L-type calcium currents in rat myocytes. (2/443)

OBJECTIVE: We have studied the mechanisms underlying the positive inotropic action of prostaglandin F2 alpha (PGF2 alpha) by monitoring intracellular calcium transients, intracellular pH, L-type calcium currents and cell shortening in isolated ventricular myocytes. METHODS: Rat myocytes were loaded with fura-2AM for intracellular calcium measurements, or BCECF-AM for pH measurements. Cell shortening was recorded using an edge detection system, and L-type calcium currents measured using whole cell patch clamping. RESULTS: PGF2 alpha (3 nmol l-1-3 mumol l-1 increased single myocyte shortening and reduced resting cell length in a concentration-dependent manner. While myocyte shortening was increased by PGF2 alpha, this was not associated with any change in the amplitude of intracellular calcium transients, diastolic calcium, or L-type calcium currents. However, the same myocytes were capable of responding to catecholamines with increases in calcium transient amplitude and L-type calcium currents. PGF2 alpha (3 mumol l-1 caused a reversible rise in intracellular pH of 0.08 +/- 0.01 pH units (n = 5, p < 0.05). The Na(+)-H+ exchanger inhibitor, HOE 694 (10 mumol l-1, abolished the PGF2 alpha-induced rise in pH and the increase in cell shortening. PGF2 alpha-induced increases in cell shortening and intracellular pH were also attenuated by the protein kinase C (PKC) inhibitor, chelerythrine (2 mumol l-1. CONCLUSION: The positive inotropic action of PGF2 alpha appears to be mediated via activation of the Na(+)-H+ exchanger with the possible involvement of PKC. This suggests that PGF2 alpha-produces intracellular alkalosis, which then sensitizes cardiac myofilaments to calcium.  (+info)

Morphine preconditioning attenuates neutrophil activation in rat models of myocardial infarction. (3/443)

Previous results from our laboratory have suggested that morphine can attenuate neutrophil activation in patients with acute myocardial infarction. To elucidate if morphine preconditioning (PC) has the same effects via activation of neutrophil endopeptidase 24.11 (NEP), we measured serum levels of intercellular adhesion molecule-1 (ICAM-1), gp100MEL14 and NEP in adult Wistar rats subjected to ten different protocols (n = 10 for each) at baseline, immediately after and 2 h after morphine PC. All groups were subjected to 30 min of occlusion and 2 h of reperfusion. Similarly, morphine-induced PC was elicited by 3-min drug infusions (100 micrograms/kg) interspersed with 5-min drug-free periods before the prolonged 30-min occlusion. Infarct size (IS), as a percentage of the area at risk (AAR), was determined by triphenyltetrazolium staining. Pretreatment with morphine increased NEP activities (9.86 +/- 1.98 vs. 5.12 +/- 1.10 nmol/mg protein in control group; p < 0.001). Naloxone (mu-opioid receptor antagonist) (4.82 +/- 1.02 nmol/mg protein) and phosphoramidon (NEP inhibitor) (4.66 +/- 1.00 nmol/mg protein) inhibited morphine-activated NEP, whereas glibenclamide (ATP-sensitive potassium channel antagonist) and chelerythrine (protein kinase C inhibitor) had no effects. The ICAM-1 and gp100MEL14 of the third sampling were lowest for those with morphine PC (280 +/- 30 ng/ml and 2.2 +/- 0.7 micrograms/ml; p < 0.001), but naloxone (372 +/- 38 ng/ml and 3.8 +/- 0.9 micrograms/ml) and phosphoramidon (382 +/- 40 ng/ml and 4.2 +/- 1.1 micrograms/ml) abolished the above phenomenon. IS/AAR were definitely lowest for those with morphine PC (24 +/- 7%; p < 0.05). Morphine preconditioning increases NEP activities to attenuate shedding of gp100MEL14 and to ICAM-1 and, thus, provides myocardial protection.  (+info)

Isoform-selective activation of protein kinase C by nitric oxide in the heart of conscious rabbits: a signaling mechanism for both nitric oxide-induced and ischemia-induced preconditioning. (4/443)

Although isoform-selective translocation of protein kinase C (PKC) epsilon appears to play an important role in the late phase of ischemic preconditioning (PC), the mechanism(s) responsible for such translocation remains unclear. Furthermore, the signaling pathway that leads to the development of late PC after exogenous administration of NO in the absence of ischemia (NO donor-induced late PC) is unknown. In the present study we tested the hypothesis that NO activates PKC and that this is the mechanism for the development of both ischemia-induced and NO donor-induced late PC. A total of 95 chronically instrumented, conscious rabbits were used. In rabbits subjected to ischemic PC (six 4-minute occlusion/4-minute reperfusion cycles), administration of the NO synthase inhibitor Nomega-nitro-L-arginine (group III), at doses previously shown to block the development of late PC, completely blocked the ischemic PC-induced translocation of PKCepsilon but not of PKCeta, indicating that increased formation of NO is an essential mechanism whereby brief ischemia activates the epsilon isoform of PKC. Conversely, a translocation of PKCepsilon and -eta quantitatively similar to that induced by ischemic PC could be reproduced pharmacologically with the administration of 2 structurally unrelated NO donors, diethylenetriamine/NO (DETA/NO) and S-nitroso-N-acetylpenicillamine (SNAP), at doses previously shown to elicit a late PC effect. The particulate fraction of PKCepsilon increased from 35+/-2% of total in the control group (group I) to 60+/-1% after ischemic PC (group II) (P<0.05), to 54+/-2% after SNAP (group IV) (P<0.05) and to 52+/-2% after DETA/NO (group V) (P<0.05). The particulate fraction of PKCeta rose from 66+/-5% in the control group to 86+/-3% after ischemic PC (P<0.05), to 88+/-2% after SNAP (P<0.05) and to 85+/-1% after DETA/NO (P<0.05). Neither ischemic PC nor NO donors had any appreciable effect on the subcellular distribution of PKCalpha, -beta1, -beta2, -gamma, -delta, - micro, or -iota/lambda; on total PKC activity; or on the subcellular distribution of total PKC activity. Thus, the effects of SNAP and DETA/NO on PKC closely resembled those of ischemic PC. The DETA/NO-induced translocation of PKCepsilon (but not that of PKCeta) was completely prevented by the administration of the PKC inhibitor chelerythrine at a dose of 5 mg/kg (group VI) (particulate fraction of PKCepsilon, 38+/-4% of total, P<0.05 versus group V; particulate fraction of PKCeta, 79+/-2% of total). The same dose of chelerythrine completely prevented the DETA/NO-induced late PC effect against both myocardial stunning (groups VII through X) and myocardial infarction (groups XI through XV), indicating that NO donors induce late PC by activating PKC and that among the 10 isozymes of PKC expressed in the rabbit heart, the epsilon isotype is specifically involved in the development of this form of pharmacological PC. In all groups examined (groups I through VI), the changes in the subcellular distribution of PKCepsilon protein were associated with parallel changes in PKCepsilon isoform-selective activity, whereas total PKC activity was not significantly altered. Taken together, the results provide direct evidence that isoform-selective activation of PKCepsilon is a critical step in the signaling pathway whereby NO initiates the development of a late PC effect both after an ischemic stimulus (endogenous NO) and after treatment with NO-releasing agents (exogenous NO). To our knowledge, this is also the first report that NO can activate PKC in the heart. The finding that NO can promote isoform-specific activation of PKC identifies a new biological function of this radical and a new mechanism in the signaling cascade of ischemic PC and may also have important implications for other pathophysiological conditions in which NO is involved and for nitrate therapy.  (+info)

c-myc intron element-binding proteins are required for 1, 25-dihydroxyvitamin D3 regulation of c-myc during HL-60 cell differentiation and the involvement of HOXB4. (5/443)

1,25-Dihydroxyvitamin D3 (1,25-(OH)2D3) suppresses c-myc expression during differentiation of HL-60 cells along the monocytic pathway by blocking transcriptional elongation at the first exon/intron border of the c-myc gene. In the present study, the physiological relevance of three putative regulatory protein binding sites found within a 280-base pair region in intron 1 of the c-myc gene was explored. HL-60 promyelocytic leukemia cells were transiently transfected with three different c-myc promoter constructs cloned upstream of a chloramphenicol acetyltransferase (CAT) reporter gene. With the wild-type c-myc promoter construct (pMPCAT), which contains MIE1, MIE2, and MIE3 binding sites, 1,25-(OH)2D3 was able to decrease CAT activity by 45.4 +/- 7.9% (mean +/- S.E., n = 8). The ability of 1, 25-(OH)2D3 to inhibit CAT activity was significantly decreased to 18. 5 +/- 4.3% (59.3% reversal, p < 0.02) when examined with a MIE1 deletion construct (pMPCAT-MIE1). Moreover, 1,25-(OH)2D3 was completely ineffective at suppressing CAT activity in cells transfected with pMPCAT-287, a construct without MIE1, MIE2, and MIE3 binding sites (-6.5 +/- 10.9%, p < 0.002). MIE1- and MIE2-binding proteins induced by 1,25-(OH)2D3 had similar gel shift mobilities, while MIE3-binding proteins migrated differently. Furthermore, chelerythrine chloride, a selective protein kinase C (PKC) inhibitor, and a PKCbeta antisense oligonucleotide completely blocked the binding of nuclear proteins induced by 1,25-(OH)2D3 to MIE1, MIE2, and MIE3. A 1,25-(OH)2D3-inducible MIE1-binding protein was identified to be HOXB4. HOXB4 levels were significantly increased in response to 1,25-(OH)2D3. Taken together, these results indicate that HOXB4 is one of the nuclear phosphoproteins involved in c-myc transcription elongation block during HL-60 cell differentiation by 1,25-(OH)2D3.  (+info)

Importance of PKC and tyrosine kinase in single or multiple cycles of preconditioning in rat hearts. (6/443)

Both tyrosine kinase (TK) and protein kinase C (PKC) inhibitors have been shown individually to completely abolish the cardioprotective effects of ischemic preconditioning (IPC) in rabbits; however, blockade of both enzymes is necessary to totally abolish IPC in pigs. Recently, we have shown that TK inhibition partially attenuates the cardioprotective effect of IPC in intact rat hearts. Therefore, the present study was designed to test the hypothesis that inhibition of both TK and PKC is necessary to completely abolish IPC in the intact rat and that this effect is dependent on the intensity of the preconditioning stimulus. All animals were subjected to 30 min of coronary artery occlusion and 2 h of reperfusion. In series 1, multiple-cycle-induced IPC was produced via three 5-min occlusions interspersed with 5 min of reperfusion (3 x 5 IPC). Genistein (5 mg/kg), a TK inhibitor infused 30 min before IPC, and chelerythrine chloride (5 mg/kg), a PKC inhibitor infused 5 min before the prolonged ischemic insult, were administered alone or in combination in the absence or presence of 3 x 5 IPC. 3 x 5 IPC produced a marked reduction in infarct size as a percentage of area at risk compared with control (8.0 +/- 0.8 vs. 56.1 +/- 0.8%). The effects of 3 x 5 IPC were partially blocked by pretreatment with genistein (34.0 +/- 2.0%) or chelerythrine (26.4 +/- 2.8%) alone; however, combined administration of genistein and chelerythrine completely abolished the effects of 3 x 5 IPC (50.7 +/- 3.6%). In series 2, single-cycle IPC was elicited by one 5-min occlusion followed by 10 min of reperfusion (1 x 5 IPC). Compared with control, 1 x 5 IPC also significantly reduced infarct size (15.4 +/- 3.0%). Genistein or chelerythrine administered alone completely abolished 1 x 5 IPC-induced cardioprotection. These results suggest that the efficacy of TK and PKC inhibition to block IPC depends on the intensity of the preconditioning stimulus and that these kinases may work through parallel pathways.  (+info)

Chloride channel inhibition blocks the protection of ischemic preconditioning and hypo-osmotic stress in rabbit ventricular myocardium. (7/443)

The objective of this study was to examine the role of chloride (Cl-) channels in the myocardial protection of ischemic preconditioning (IP). Isolated rabbit ventricular myocytes were preconditioned with 10-minute simulated ischemia (SI) and 20-minute simulated reperfusion (SR) or not preconditioned (control). The myocytes then received 180-minute SI or 45-minute SI/120-minute SR. Indanyloxyacetic acid 94 (IAA-94, 10 micromol/L) or 5-nitro-2-(3-phenylpropylamino)benzoic acid (NPPB, 1 micromol/L) was administered before IP or before SI or SI/SR to inhibit Cl- channels. Electrophysiological studies indicate that these drugs, at the concentrations used, selectively abolished Cl- currents activated under hypo-osmotic conditions (215 versus 290 mOsm). IP significantly (P<0.001) reduced the percentage of dead myocytes after 60-minute (30.8+/-1.3%, mean+/-SEM), 90-minute (35.3+/-1.3%), and 120-minute (39.2+/-1.7%) SI compared with controls (44.7+/-1.6%, 54.5+/-1.3%, and 58.9+/-1.8%, respectively) and after 45-minute SI/120-minute SR (36.3+/-0.6%) compared with control (56.6+/-2.2%). Hypo-osmotic stress also produced protection similar to IP. IAA-94 or NPPB abolished the protection of both IP and hypo-osmotic stress. In buffer-perfused rabbit hearts preconditioned with three 5-minute ischemia/10-minute reperfusion cycles given before the 40-minute long ischemia and 60-minute reperfusion, IP significantly (P<0.0001) reduced infarct size (IP+vehicle, 4.7+/-0.9%, versus control+vehicle, 26.6+/-3.3%; mean+/-SEM). Again, IAA-94 or NPPB abolished the protection of IP. Our results implicate Cl- channels in the IP protection of the myocardium against ischemic/reperfusion injury and demonstrate that hypo-osmotic stress is capable of preconditioning cardiomyocytes.  (+info)

Nuclear factor-kappaB plays an essential role in the late phase of ischemic preconditioning in conscious rabbits. (8/443)

Although it is recognized that late preconditioning (PC) results from upregulation of cardioprotective genes, the specific transcription factor(s) that govern this genetic adaptation remains unknown. The aim of this study was to test the hypothesis that the development of late PC is mediated by nuclear factor-kappaB (NF-kappaB) and to elucidate the mechanisms that control the activation of NF-kappaB after an ischemic stimulus in vivo. A total of 152 chronically instrumented, conscious rabbits were used. A sequence of six 4-minute coronary occlusion/4-minute reperfusion cycles, which elicits late PC, induced rapid activation of NF-kappaB, as evidenced by a marked increase in p65 content (+164%; Western immunoblotting) and NF-kappaB DNA binding activity (+306%; electrophoretic mobility shift assay) in nuclear extracts isolated 30 minutes after the last reperfusion. These changes were attenuated 2 hours after ischemic PC and resolved by 4 hours. Competition and supershift assays confirmed the specificity of the NF-kappaB DNA complex signals. The mobility of the NF-kappaB DNA complex was shifted by anti-p65 and anti-p50 antibodies but not by anti-c-Rel antibodies, indicating that the subunits of NF-kappaB involved in gene activation after ischemic PC consist of p65-p50 heterodimers. Pretreatment with the NF-kappaB inhibitor diethyldithiocarbamate (DDTC; 150 mg/kg IP 15 minutes before ischemic PC) completely blocked the nuclear translocation and increased DNA binding activity of NF-kappaB. The same dose of DDTC completely blocked the cardioprotective effects of late PC against both myocardial stunning and myocardial infarction, indicating that NF-kappaB activation is essential for the development of this phenomenon in vivo. The ischemic PC-induced activation of NF-kappaB was also blocked by pretreatment with Nomega-nitro-L-arginine (L-NA), a nitric oxide synthase (NOS) inhibitor, N-2-mercaptopropionyl glycine (MPG), a reactive oxygen species (ROS) scavenger, chelerythrine, a protein kinase C (PKC) inhibitor, and lavendustin A, a tyrosine kinase inhibitor (all given at doses previously shown to block late PC), indicating that ischemic PC activates NF-kappaB via formation of NO and ROS and activation of PKC- and tyrosine kinase-dependent signaling pathways. A subcellular redistribution and increased DNA binding activity of NF-kappaB quantitatively similar to those induced by ischemic PC could be reproduced pharmacologically by giving the NO donor diethylenetriamine/NO (DETA/NO) (at a dose previously shown to elicit late PC), demonstrating that NO in itself can activate NF-kappaB in the heart. Taken together, these results provide direct evidence that activation of NF-kappaB is a critical step in the signal transduction pathway that underlies the development of the late phase of ischemic PC in conscious rabbits. The finding that four different pharmacological manipulations (L-NA, MPG, chelerythrine, and lavendustin A) produced similar inhibition of NF-kappaB suggests that this transcription factor is a common downstream pathway through which multiple signals elicited by ischemic stress (NO, ROS, PKC, tyrosine kinases) act to induce gene expression. To our knowledge, this is the first demonstration that NO can promote NF-kappaB activation in the heart, a finding that identifies a new biological function of NO and may have important implications for various pathophysiological conditions in which NO is involved and for nitrate therapy.  (+info)

For decades, natural products represent a significant source of diverse and unique bioactive lead compounds in drug discovery field. In Clinical oncology, complete tumors remission is hampered by the development of drug-resistance. Therefore, development of cytotoxic agents that may overcome drug resistance is urgently needed. Here, the natural benzophenanthridine alkaloid sanguinarine has been studied for its cytotoxic activity against multidrug resistance (MDR) cancer cells. We investigated the role of the ATP-binding cassette (ABC) transporters BCRP/ABCG2, P-glycoprotein/ABCB1 and its close relative ABCB5 in drug resistance. Further drug resistance mechanisms analyzed in this study were the tumor suppressor TP53 and the epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR). Multidrug resistant cells overexpressing BCRP, ABCB5 and mutated ∆EGFR were not cross-resistant towards sanguinarine. Interestingly, P-gp overexpressing cells were hypersensitive to sanguinarine.

Natural cell death is a well-known degenerative phenomenon occurring during development of the nervous system. The role of trophic molecules produced by target and afferent cells as well as by glial cells has been extensively demonstrated. Literature data demonstrate that cAMP can modulate the survival of neuronal cells. Cultures of mixed retinal cells were treated with forskolin (an activator of the enzyme adenylyl cyclase) for 48 h. The results show that 50 M forskolin induced a two-fold increase in the survival of retinal ganglion cells (RGCs) in the absence of exogenous trophic factors. This effect was dose dependent and abolished by 1 M H89 (an inhibitor of protein kinase A), 1.25 M chelerythrine chloride (an inhibitor of protein kinase C), 50 M PD 98059 (an inhibitor of MEK), 25 M Ly 294002 (an inhibitor of phosphatidylinositol-3 kinase), 30 nM brefeldin A (an inhibitor of polypeptide release), and 10 M genistein or 1 ng/ml herbimycin (inhibitors of tyrosine kinase enzymes).

The effects of chelidonine on tubulin polymerisation, cell cycle progression and selected signal transmission pathways.. Panzer A, Joubert AM, Bianchi PC, Hamel E, Seegers JC.. Department of Physiology, University of Pretoria, South Africa.. Chelidonine is a tertiary benzophenanthridine alkaloid known to cause mitotic arrest and to interact weakly with tubulin. Our interest in chelidonine began when we found it to be a major contaminant of Ukrain, which is a compound reported to be selectively toxic to malignant cells. The effects of chelidonine in two normal (monkey kidney and Hs27), two transformed (Vero and Graham 293) and two malignant (WHCO5 and HeLa) cell lines, were examined. Chelidonine proved to be a weak inhibitor of cell growth, but no evidence for selective cytotoxicity was found in this study. It was confirmed that chelidonine inhibits tubulin polymerisation (IC50 = 24 microM), explaining its ability to disrupt microtubular structure in cells. A G2/M arrest results, which is ...

Dysregulation of apoptosis is a prime hallmark of leukemia. Therefore, drugs which restore the sensitivity of leukemic cells to apoptotic stimuli are promising candidates in the treatment of leukemia. The main objective of this dissertation was to examine the antileukemic effect of sanguinarine, in vitro, and to further examine the signaling mechanisms that may be involved. This study demonstrates that in human leukemic cells, sanguinarine activates a caspase-dependent apoptotic cell death pathway that is characterized by reactive oxygen species-dependent ceramide generation, and subsequent inhibition of Akt signaling pathway. In addition, sanguinarine also induces reactive oxygen species-dependent glutathione depletion and activation of extracellular signal-regulated kinase1/2. Moreover, inhibition of reactive oxygen species generation, using reactive oxygen species scavengers and antioxidants, significantly abrogates sanguinarine-induced ceramide generation, Akt dephosphorylation, extracellular signal
Pancreatic cancer is associated with low responsiveness to conventional chemotherapies and its incidence nearly equals its death rate. This warrants the development of novel mechanism-based approaches for the management of pancreatic cancer. This study was designed to determine the potential of sanguinarine, a plant alkaloid known to possess strong antimicrobial, anti-inflammatory, and antioxidant activities, against human pancreatic carcinoma cells. Employing human pancreatic carcinoma AsPC-1 and BxPC-3 cells, we specifically evaluated the pro-apoptotic and cell cycle deregulatory effects of sanguinarine and evaluated the involvement of Bcl-2 family proteins and p53 as the mechanism of the biological effects of sanguinarine. Our data demonstrated that sanguinarine (at low concentrations of 0.1-10 ?M; for 24 h) treatment to AsPC-1 and BxPC-3 cells resulted in a dose dependent (i) inhibition of viability and growth, (ii) colony formation ability, (iii) induction of apoptosis, and (iv) G0-G1 phase ...

We have used a caged DAG compound to release the DAG analogue diC8 within cardiac myocytes in a controlled way using near-UV light.41 Photogenerated diC8 produced a positive inotropic effect, which was stereospecific and dose dependent, with an ≈4-fold enhancement of contractility under optimal conditions. This contractile response was modulated by the presence of cis-unsaturated fatty acids and blocked by the PKC inhibitor chelerythrine. This is the first direct demonstration, to our knowledge, of positive inotropy being initiated by a DAG analogue in mammalian adult ventricular muscle..

Activation of protein kinase C (PKC) via adenosine receptors is known to be involved in the cardioprotection of ischemic preconditioning (IPC). Specifically, activation of PKCε is critical for cardioprotection. There is ample evidence that PKCε resides in cardiac mitochondria. However, the signals that promote translocation of PKCε are largely unknown. The present study was designed to determine whether and how adenosine receptor activation induces translocation of PKCε to mitochondria. Freshly isolated adult rat cardiac myocytes and rat heart-derived H9c2 were used in the study. Immunofluorescence imaging of isolated mitochondria showed that PKCε but not PKCδ was localized in mitochondria and this mitochondrial localization of PKCε was significantly increased by adenosine treatment. The adenosine-induced increase in PKCε-positive mitochondria was largely prevented not only by PKC inhibitor chelerythrine, but also by the HSP90 inhibitor geldanamycin and by siRNA targeting HSP90. ...
Humoral factors released during ischemic preconditioning (IPC) protect the myocardium against ischemia/reperfusion (I/R) injury. We have recently identified 10 kDa-heat shock protein (HSP10) and a fraction of small 5-10 kDa peptides (5-10-sP) in the coronary effluent of IPC-treated hearts and demonstrated their cardioprotective potential. We here used our isolated mitochondria model to characterize the impact of exogenous HSP10 and 5-10-sP on mitochondria function from myocardium subjected to I/R injury. Isolated perfused rat hearts were submitted to 30-min global ischemia and 10-min reperfusion. Before ischemia, isolated hearts were infused with saline or 5-10-sP, with or without a mitochondrial ATP-sensitive-K+-channel blocker (5HD 10 μmol·L−1) or PKC inhibitor (chelerythrine 10 μmol·L−1), before I/R. HSP10 (1 µmol·L−1) was infused into isolated hearts before I/R without blockers. At 10-min reperfusion, the mitochondria were isolated and mitochondrial function was assessed. In a subset of
STAT3 has been strongly implicated in human malignancies, and constitutive activation of STAT3 serves a crucial role in cell survival, angiogenesis, immune evasion, and inflammation. In this study, we showed that nitidine chloride, a natural phytochemical alkaloid derived from Zanthoxylum nitidum (Roxb) DC, exerts potent anticancer activity through STAT3 signaling cascade. Nitidine chloride dose dependently suppressed VEGF-induced endothelial cell proliferation, migration, and tubular structure formation in vitro and dramatically reduced VEGF-triggered neovascularization in mouse cornea and Matrigel plugs in vivo. This angiogenesis inhibition mediated by nitidine chloride was well interpreted by the suppression of Janus kinase 2/STAT3 signaling and STAT3 DNA-binding activity in endothelial cells. Furthermore, nitidine chloride suppressed the constitutively activated STAT3 protein, its DNA-binding activity, and the expression of STAT3-dependent target genes, including cyclin D1, Bcl-xL, and VEGF ...

While the effects of benzo[c]phenanthridine alkaloids (QBA), known mainly as sanguinarine and chelerythrine, on the inhibition of some kinds of cancer cell proliferation have been established, the effect on oral squamous cell is not known. Here, the antitumor activity of sanguinarine was demonstrated using in vitro assay systems in SAS, a human oral squamous cell carcinoma (OSCC) cell line. The anti-proliferative and -invasive effects were confirmed with IC?? values in the concentration range of 0.75-1.0 ?M by MTT assay and invasive assay, respectively. Sanguinarine was also able to suppress cell anchorage-independent growth, whereas it did not affect the cells adhering capabilities. Finally, sanguinarine induced apoptotic cell death by activating caspase and altering the Bcl-2/Bax ratio. Taken together, these results indicate that sanguinarine is a potential inhibitor of tumorigenesis and suggest that it may be valuable in the development of new anticancer drugs for the treatment of ...

The N-methyl-D-aspartate receptor (NMDAR) is an ionotropic glutamate receptor, which plays crucial roles in synaptic plasticity and development. We have recently shown that potentiation of NMDA receptor function by protein kinase C (PKC) appears to be mediated via activation of non-receptor tyrosine kinases. The aim of this study was to test whether this effect could be mediated by direct tyrosine phosphorylation of the NR2A or NR2B subunits of the receptor. Following treatment of rat hippocampal CA1 mini-slices with 500 nM phorbol 12-myristate 13-acetate (PMA) for 15 min, samples were homogenized, immunoprecipitated with anti-NR2A or NR2B antibodies and the resulting pellets subjected to Western blotting with antiphosphotyrosine antibody. An increase in tyrosine phosphorylation of both NR2A (76 +/- 11% above control) and NR2B (41 +/- 11%) was observed. This increase was blocked by pretreatment with the selective PKC inhibitor chelerythrine, with the tyrosine kinase inhibitor Lavendustin A or with the
The aim of the present study was to investigate the effect of chelidonine on mitotic slippage and apoptotic-like death in SGC-7901 human gastric cancer cells. The MTT assay was performed to detect the antiproliferative effect of chelidonine. Following treatment with chelidonine (10 µmol/l), the ultrastructure changes in SGC-7901, MCF-7 and HepG2 cells were observed by transmission electron microscopy. The effects of chelidonine on G2/M phase arrest and apoptosis of SGC-7901 cells were determined by flow cytometry. Indirect immunofluorescence assay and laser scanning confocal microscopy (LSCM) were used to detect the phosphorylation level of histone H3 (Ser10) and microtubule formation was detected using LSCM following immunofluorescent labeling. Subsequent to treatment with chelidonine (10 µmol/l), expression levels of mitotic slippage-associated proteins, including BUB1 mitotic checkpoint serine/threonine kinase B (BubR1), cyclin-dependent kinase 1 (Cdk1) and cyclin B1, and ...
Sugita M., Kuwata H., Kudo I., Hara S.. Protein kinase C (PKC) is a family of serine/threonine kinases involved in various signal transduction pathways. We investigated the roles of PKC in the regulation of group IIA secreted phospholipase A(2) (sPLA(2)-IIA) expression in cytokine-stimulated rat fibroblastic 3Y1 cells. Here we show that the induction of sPLA(2)-IIA by proinflammatory cytokines was under the control of both classical cPKCalpha and atypical aPKClambda/iota pathways by using PKC inhibitors, a PKC activator, and PKC knockdowns. Treatment of 3Y1 cells with PKC selective inhibitors having broad specificity, such as chelerythrine chloride and GF109203X, blocked IL-1beta/TNFalpha-dependent induction of sPLA(2)-IIA protein in a dose-dependent manner. Treatment with the PKC activator phorbol 12-myristate 13-acetate (PMA), which activates cPKC and novel nPKC isoforms, markedly attenuated the cytokine-dependent induction of sPLA(2)-IIA expression. In comparison, 24-h pretreatment with PMA, ...
Suspension cultures of Eschscholtzia californica accum ulate the dihydro forms o f the benzo- phenanthridine alkaloids sanguinarine, chelirubine, macarpine and chelerythrine, all o f which are known to be constituents o f the Eschscholtzia plant. U nder most experimental conditions dihydrochelirubine was found to be the main constituent of the cultured cells. The specific yields of alkaloids varied from zero to 1.7% on a dry weight basis depending on the m edia conditions. The highest specific yield was 1.5 m g/g dry weight or 13 mg/1 with the growth m edium B5. After transfer of the cells into the induction medium IM2 the alkaloid accum ulation increased to 17 mg/g dry weight and 146 mg/1. The induction m edium contained increased levels o f sucrose, decreased levels of phosphate and was devoid of phytohormones. The effect o f the various m edia conditions on the biosynthesis of phenolics was quite different to those found for the alkaloids ...

NK314 is a novel synthetic benzo[c]phenanthridine alkaloid that shows strong antitumor activity. It inhibited topoisomerase II activity and stabilized topoisomerase II-DNA cleavable complexes. The DNA breaks occurred within 1h after treatment with NK314 even without digestion of topoisomerase II by proteinase K, whereas etoposide required digestion of the enzyme protein in cleavable complex to detect DNA breaks. Pretreatment with topoisomerase II catalytic inhibitors, ICRF-193 and suramin, reduced both cleavable complex-mediated DNA breaks and proteinase K-independent DNA breaks, but protease inhibitors and nuclease inhibitors only decreased the latter.
Female A. domesticus exhibit variability in their phonotactic behavior. Some females respond to syllable periods (SPs) typical of the males calling song (CS; 50-70 ms), others respond additionally to CSs with shorter or longer SPs, outside the range of males calls. Other females are not selective to SP and respond to the full range of SPs. Nanoinjection of Juvenile Hormone III (JHIII) into the prothoracic ganglion increases phonotactic selectivity. Nanoinjection of chelerythrine chloride (a protein kinase C inhibitor) reduces the effect of JHIII. The L3 prothoracic interneuron responds selectively to the SP of the males CS and is proposed to be involved in controlling SP-selective phonotaxis. Prothoracic nanoinjection of JHIII increases selective responses of L3 which parallels its effects on phonotaxis. This increase in selectivity seems to result from a decrease in decrement, predominantly at the shorter and longer SPs. Such effects increase selectivity in response to the SPs that are most

Objective: This study investigated signaling pathways that may contribute to the potent positive inotropic effect of human urotensin-II (hU-II) in human isolated right atrial trabeculae obtained from patients with coronary artery disease. Methods: Trabeculae were set up in tissue baths and stimulated to contract at 1 Hz. Tissues were incubated with 20 nM hU-II with or without phorbol 12-myristate 13-acetate (PMA, 10 μM) to desensitize PKC, the PKC inhibitor chelerythrine (10 μM), 10 μM 4α-phorbol that does not desensitize PKC, the myosin light chain kinase inhibitor wortmannin (50 nM, 10 μM), or the Rho kinase inhibitor Y-27632 (0.1-10 μM). Activated RhoA was determined by affinity immunoprecipitation, and phosphorylation of signaling proteins was determined by SDS-PAGE. Results: hU-II caused a potent positive inotropic response in atrial trabeculae, and this was concomitant with increased phosphorylation of regulatory myosin light chain (MLC-2, 1.8±0.4-fold, P less than 0.05, n=6) and PKCα/βII
The signalling mechanisms responsible for the hydrolysis of sphingomyelin mediated by 1,25-dihydroxyvitamin D3 [1,25(OH)2D3] and interferon γ (IFN-γ) in HL-60 cells were investigated. IFN-γ was found to increase selectively the activity of cytosolic, Mg2+-independent, neutral sphingomyelinase. The treatment of HL-60 cells with the combination of 1,25(OH)2D3 and IFN-γ had an additive effect on sphingomyelin hydrolysis, ceramide release and the activity of cytosolic, Mg2+-independent, neutral sphingomyelinase. The pretreatment of HL-60 cells with staurosporine, chelerythrine chloride and bisindolylmaleimide abolished the activity of sphingomyelinase in response to 1,25(OH)2D3 and IFN-γ. Calphostin C, which acts on the regulatory site of protein kinase C (PKC), and Gö 6976, a selective inhibitor of Ca2+-dependent PKC isoforms, inhibited the effect of 1,25(OH)2D3 but had no effect on the IFN-γ-mediated increase in activity of sphingomyelinase. Isoform-specific antibodies were used to deplete ...
The N-terminal fragment of pro B-type natriuretic peptide (NT-proBNP) and proBNP are used as gold standard clinical markers of myocardial dysfunction such as cardiac hypertrophy and left ventricle heart failure. diffuse Western-immunostained bands order Chelerythrine Chloride on SDSCPAGE and each band collapsed to an obvious homogeneous band pursuing deglycosylation. Hence, glycosylated-proBNP could be one particular circulating form. Right here we provide comprehensive physiochemical characterization because of this O-linked proteins and evaluate these leads to various other defined circulating species, non-glycosylated-proBNP and NT-proBNP. Itll be proven that glycosylation does not have any impact on the secondary and quaternary framework of proBNP. Actually, at moderate focus in benign physiological neutral pH buffer, all three most likely circulating species are essentially without major secondary framework, i.electronic., are intrinsically unstructured proteins (IUPs). Furthermore, all ...

Abstract. Caldesmon, an inhibitory actin binding protein, binds to actin and inhibits actin-myosin interactions, whereas caldesmon phosphorylation reverses the inhibitory effect of caldesmon on actin-myosin interactions, potentially leading to enhanced contraction. The goal of this study was to investigate the cellular signaling pathway responsible for caldesmon phosphorylation, which is involved in the regulation of the contraction induced by dexmedetomidine (DMT), an alpha-2 adrenoceptor agonist, in endothelium-denuded rat aortas. SP600125 (a c-Jun NH2-terminal kinase [JNK] inhibitor) dose-response curves were generated in aortas that were pre-contracted with DMT or phorbol 12,13-dibutyrate (PDBu), a protein kinase C (PKC) activator. Dose-response curves to the PKC inhibitor chelerythrine were generated in rat aortas pre-contracted with DMT. The effects of SP600125 and rauwolscine (an alpha-2 adrenoceptor inhibitor) on DMT-induced caldesmon phosphorylation in rat aortic vascular smooth muscle ...
Opium poppy (Papaver somniferum) produces a diverse array of bioactive benzylisoquinoline alkaloids and has emerged as a model system to study plant alkaloid metabolism. The plant is cultivated as the only commercial source of the narcotic analgesics morphine and codeine, but also produces many other alkaloids including the antimicrobial agent sanguinarine. Modulations in plant secondary metabolism as a result of environmental perturbations are often associated with the altered regulation of other metabolic pathways. As a key component of our functional genomics platform for opium poppy we have used proton nuclear magnetic resonance (1H NMR) metabolomics to investigate the interplay between primary and secondary metabolism in cultured opium poppy cells treated with a fungal elicitor. Metabolite fingerprinting and compound-specific profiling showed the extensive reprogramming of primary metabolic pathways in association with the induction of alkaloid biosynthesis in response to elicitor treatment.

The United States FDA has approved the inclusion of sanguinarine in toothpastes as an antibacterial or anti-plaque agent.[4][5][6][7] Currently, it is believed that this use may cause leukoplakia, a premalignant oral lesion.[8] On 24 Nov 2003, the Colgate-Palmolive Company commented by memorandum (see: PDF file) to the United States Food and Drug Administration that then-proposed rules for levels of sanguinarine in mouthwash and dental wash products were lower than necessary. Professor George T. Gallagher also commented from his post at Boston University Goldman School of Dental Medicine, see his memorandum[1] of 23 June 2003..

The intracellular signaling of human urotensin II (hU-II) and its interaction with other vasoconstrictors such as ANG II are poorly understood. In endothelium-denuded rat aorta, coadministration of hU-II (1 nM) and ANG II (2 nM) exerted a significant contractile effect that was associated with increased protein kinase C (PKC) activity and phosphorylation of PKC-α/βII and myosin light chain, whereas either hU-II or ANG II administered alone at these concentrations had no statistically significant effect. This synergistic effect was abrogated by the PKC inhibitor chelerythrine (10 and 30 μM), the selective PKC-α/βII inhibitor Gö-6976 (0.1 and 1 μM), the hU-II receptor ligand urantide (30 nM and 1 μM), or the ANG II antagonist losartan (1 μM). Moreover, in endothelium-intact rat aorta, the synergistic effect of hU-II and ANG II was not exerted any longer, and this synergistic effect was unmasked by pretreatment of the nitric oxide synthase inhibitor NG-nitro-L-arginine methyl ester. hU-II ...

When CD47 is ligated with a specific ligand, phosphatidylserine exposure is observed on the surface of the erythrocyte in a process known as eryptosis, which is similar to apoptosis. The aim of this study was to identify new proteins within the CD47 receptor mediated phosphatidylserine pathway and to elucidate the functions of any newly identified proteins. Previous research had suggested a link between protein 4.1R and CD47. Therefore, diseased protein 4.1R deficient erythrocytes were used as a molecular tool to help explore the role of protein 4.1R in the CD47 pathway. To achieve this aim, flow cytometry to measure phosphatidylserine exposure, 1D and 2D protein immunoblotting, 1D and 2D electrophoresis, RS100 ProteinChips coupled to SELDI-TOF, Q-TOF and MALDI-TOF, calcium influx, 2D serine/threonine phosphoblots and protein kinase A and protein kinase C inhibition were employed. Results showed increased phosphatidylserine exposure in 4.1R deficient erythrocytes and protein immunoblots ...
