Dihydroaustrasulfone Alcohol Inhibits PDGF-Induced Proliferation and Migration of Human Aortic Smooth Muscle Cells through Inhibition of the Cell Cycle

Dihydroaustrasulfone alcohol is the synthetic precursor of austrasulfone, which is a marine natural product, isolated from the Taiwanese soft coral Cladiella australis. Dihydroaustrasulfone alcohol has anti-inflammatory, neuroprotective, antitumor and anti-atherogenic properties. Although dihydroaustrasulfone alcohol has been shown to inhibit neointima formation, its effect on human vascular smooth muscle cells (VSMCs) has not been elucidated. We examined the effects and the mechanisms of action of dihydroaustrasulfone alcohol on proliferation, migration and phenotypic modulation of human aortic smooth muscle cells (HASMCs). Dihydroaustrasulfone alcohol significantly inhibited proliferation, DNA synthesis and migration of HASMCs, without inducing cell death. Dihydroaustrasulfone alcohol also inhibited platelet-derived growth factor (PDGF)-induced expression of cyclin-dependent kinases (CDK) 2, CDK4, cyclin D1 and cyclin E. In addition, dihydroaustrasulfone alcohol inhibited PDGF-induced phosphorylation of extracellular signal-regulated kinase 1/2 (ERK1/2), whereas it had no effect on the phosphorylation of phosphatidylinositol 3-kinase (PI3K)/(Akt). Moreover, treatment with PD98059, a highly selective ERK inhibitor, blocked PDGF-induced upregulation of cyclin D1 and cyclin E and downregulation of p27^kip1. Furthermore, dihydroaustrasulfone alcohol also inhibits VSMC synthetic phenotype formation induced by PDGF. For in vivo studies, dihydroaustrasulfone alcohol decreased smooth muscle cell proliferation in a rat model of restenosis induced by balloon injury. Immunohistochemical staining showed that dihydroaustrasulfone alcohol noticeably decreased the expression of proliferating cell nuclear antigen (PCNA) and altered VSMC phenotype from a synthetic to contractile state. Our findings provide important insights into the mechanisms underlying the vasoprotective actions of dihydroaustrasulfone alcohol and suggest that it may be a useful therapeutic agent for the treatment of vascular occlusive disease.     

Morphological and Proteomic Analyses Reveal that Unsaturated Guluronate Oligosaccharide Modulates Multiple Functional Pathways in Murine Macrophage RAW264.7 Cells

Alginate is a natural polysaccharide extracted from various species of marine brown algae. Alginate-derived guluronate oligosaccharide (GOS) obtained by enzymatic depolymerization has various pharmacological functions. Previous studies have demonstrated that GOS can trigger the production of inducible nitric oxide synthase (iNOS)/nitric oxide (NO), reactive oxygen species (ROS) and tumor necrosis factor (TNF)-α by macrophages and that it is involved in the nuclear factor (NF)-κB and mitogen-activated protein (MAP) kinase signaling pathways. To expand upon the current knowledge regarding the molecular mechanisms associated with the GOS-induced immune response in macrophages, comparative proteomic analysis was employed together with two-dimensional electrophoresis (2-DE), matrix-assisted laser desorption/ionization time-of-flight mass spectrometry (MALDI-TOF/TOF MS) and Western blot verification. Proteins showing significant differences in expression in GOS-treated cells were categorized into multiple functional pathways, including the NF-κB signaling pathway and pathways involved in inflammation, antioxidant activity, glycolysis, cytoskeletal processes and translational elongation. Moreover, GOS-stimulated changes in the morphologies and actin cytoskeleton organization of RAW264.7 cells were also investigated as possible adaptations to GOS. This study is the first to reveal GOS as a promising agent that can modulate the proper balance between the pro- and anti-inflammatory immune responses, and it provides new insights into pharmaceutical applications of polysaccharides.     

EGCG对细胞的促氧化作用研究进展

EGCG是茶叶中主要的儿茶素类物质,具有多种生物活性。近年来,EGCG促氧化作用得到了广泛关注。本文对国内外细胞实验中EGCG的促氧化作用进行综述。EGCG在细胞培养基中发生自动氧化可以形成细胞外氧化应激环境,这种自动氧化受到培养基种类、EGCG浓度与处理时间、血清含量及p H值等因素影响。在细胞内,EGCG直接提高细胞内活性氧(Reactive Oxidative Species,ROS)和线粒体ROS,或者通过Fenton反应间接产生OH-。EGCG可以影响细胞内转录因子、信号通路与表面生长因子受体的表达与传递,从而影响细胞的一系列生命活动。     

斑节对虾细胞周期蛋白B慢病毒载体的构建及对Hela细胞增殖影响

细胞周期蛋白B（Cyclin B）是影响卵母细胞发育成熟的重要基因。文章构建了PmCyB慢病毒表达载体,并和慢病毒包装复合物在293T细胞中包装成慢病毒颗粒。利用包装好的慢病毒颗粒,感染干扰了Cyclin B1基因的Hela细胞,研究了PmCyB对Hela细胞增殖的影响。结果表明,通过siRNA干扰细胞自身的Cyclin B1后,转染对照组病毒液的Hela细胞增殖减缓;同时,干扰后转入含有PmCyB重组慢病毒表达载体,Hela细胞增殖速度明显要高于转染对照组病毒液的Hela细胞的增殖速度。这一结果表明,PmCyB基因的过表达能补偿Cyclin B1缺失导致的细胞增殖减缓的现象,说明PmCyB基因具有细胞周期调控功能,是细胞增殖与分化的重要调控基因,且功能可能与人类的Cyclin B1相似。人类的Cyclin B1是卵母细胞发育成熟的重要基因。由此可以推断,PmCyB基因可能对斑节对虾（Penaeus monodon）卵巢发育成熟起着重要作用。
