چکیده

GSH synthesis occurs via two enzymatic steps catalysed by GCL [glutamate–cysteine ligase, made up of GCLC (GCL catalytic subunit), and GCLM (GCL modifier subunit)] and GSS (GSH synthetase). Co-ordinated up-regulation of GCL and GSS further enhances GSH synthetic capacity. The present study examined whether TNFα (tumour necrosis factor α) influences the expression of rat GSH synthetic enzymes. To facilitate transcriptional studies of the rat GCLM, we cloned its 1.8 kb 5′-flanking region. TNFα induces the expression and recombinant promoter activities of GCLC, GCLM and GSS in H4IIE cells. TNFα induces NF-κB (nuclear factor κB) and AP-1 (activator protein 1) nuclear-binding activities. Blocking AP-1 with dominant negative c-Jun or NF-κB with IκBSR (IκB super-repressor, where IκB stands for inhibitory κB) lowered basal expression and inhibited the TNFα-mediated increase in mRNA levels of all three genes. While all three genes have multiple AP-1-binding sites, only GCLC has a NF-κB-binding site. Overexpression with p50 or p65 increased c-Jun mRNA levels, c-Jun-dependent promoter activity and the promoter activity of GCLM and GSS. Blocking NF-κB also lowered basal c-Jun expression and blunted the TNFα-mediated increase in c-Jun mRNA levels. TNFα treatment resulted in increased c-Jun and Nrf2 (nuclear factor erythroid 2-related factor 2) nuclear binding to the antioxidant response element of the rat GCLM and if this was prevented, TNFα no longer induced the GCLM promoter activity. In conclusion, both c-Jun and NF-κB are required for basal and TNFα-mediated induction of GSH synthetic enzymes in H4IIE cells. While NF-κB may exert a direct effect on the GCLC promoter, it induces the GCLM and GSS promoters indirectly via c-Jun.

Receptor activator of nuclear factor-κB ligand is a novel inducer of myocardial inflammation.

AIMS Although increased levels of myocardial receptor activator of nuclear factor (NF)-κB ligand (RANKL) have been reported in heart failure, the role of this pathway in mediating activation of inflammatory pathways during myocardial remodelling is less well understood. This study sought to determine the role of myocardial RANKL in regulating cytokine expression. METHODS AND RESULTS A marked ...

Inhibition of hepatocyte nuclear factor 4 transcriptional activity by the nuclear factor κB pathway

HNF-4 (hepatocyte nuclear factor 4) is a key regulator of liverspecific gene expression in mammals. We have shown previously that the activity of the human APOC3 (apolipoprotein C-III) promoter is positively regulated by the anti-inflammatory cytokine TGFβ (transforming growth factor β) and its effectors Smad3 (similar to mothers against decapentaplegic 3) and Smad4 proteins via physical and fu...

Current Understanding of RANK Signaling in Osteoclast Differentiation and Maturation

Osteoclasts are bone-resorbing cells that are derived from hematopoietic precursor cells and require macrophage-colony stimulating factor and receptor activator of nuclear factor-κB ligand (RANKL) for their survival, proliferation, differentiation, and activation. The binding of RANKL to its receptor RANK triggers osteoclast precursors to differentiate into osteoclasts. This process depends on ...

Naringin attenuates diabetic retinopathy by inhibiting inflammation, oxidative stress and NF-κB activation in vivo and in vitro

Objective(s): Naringin, an essential flavonoid, inhibits inflammatory response and oxidative stress in diabetes. However, whether naringin has beneficial effects on diabetic retinopathy (DR) remains unknown. Materials and Methods: Streptozotocin (STZ, 65 mg/kg) was intraperitoneally injected into male rats (8 weeks old weighting 200-250 g) to establish diabetic model, then naringin (20, 40 or 8...
