Abstract
Currently, research on cardiac injury by aconitine focuses on its effect to directly interfere with the function of cardiac ion channels. Further, abnormal lipid metabolism could cause cardiac injury via inflammatory signaling pathway. In our preliminary study, we discovered that aconitine could alter the metabolism processes of various substances, including palmitic acid. Inspired by these studies, we investigated how elevation of palmitic acid by aconitine causes cardiac injury. Aconitine induced cardiac injury in rats (0.32 mg/kg, d = 7), and the cardiac injury was confirmed by electrocardiogram and serum biochemical study. The proteomic and metabolomic results showed that the palmitic acid level increases in heart tissue, and the NOD-like receptor (NLR) signaling pathway showed a strong effect of cardiac injury. The palmitic acid results in cell viability decline and activates NLR signaling in vitro. The shRNA-mediated knockdown of NLRP3 and NOD1/2 attenuates palmitic acid-induced inhibitory effect on cells and inhibited activation of the NLR signaling pathway. Collectively, this study reveals that aconitine provoked palmitic acid elevation could aggravate cardiac injury via the NLR signaling pathway. This study suggests that drug triggered disorder of the metabolism process could evoke cardiac injury and could propose a new strategy to study drug cardiac injury.

[PMID: 29904414 PMCID: PMC5996706 DOI: 10.3892/etm.2018.6108] [Citation(s) in RCA: 2] [Impact Index Per Article: 0.3] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 05/01/2017] [Accepted: 03/28/2018] [Indexed: 01/01/2023] Open
Abstract
PYNOD, a nod-like receptors (NLR)-like protein, was indicated to inhibit NF-κB activation, caspase-1-mediated interleukin (IL)-1β release and cell apoptosis in a dose-dependent manner. Exogenous addition of recombinant PYNOD to mixed glial cultures may suppress caspase-1 activation and IL-1β secretion induced by Aβ. However, to the best of our knowledge, there no study has focused on the immunoregulatory effects of PYNOD specifically in microglia. The present study aimed to explore the roles of PYNOD involved in the lipopolysaccharides (LPS)-induced microglial inflammation and consequent neurotoxicity. Murine microglial BV-2 cells were transfected with pEGFP-C2-PYNOD (0–5.0 µg/ml) for 24 h and incubated with or without LPS (1 µg/ml) for a further 24 h. Cell viability was determined using MTT assay and the secretion of nitric oxide (NO), IL-1β and caspase-1 was measured using the Griess method or ELISA. Protein expression levels of NF-κB p65 and inducible nitric oxide synthase (iNOS) were detected by immunofluorescent staining and/or western blot analysis. Co-culture of BV-2 cells with human neuroblastoma cell line SK-N-SH was performed in Transwell plates and the cell viability and apoptosis (using flow cytometry) of SK-N-SH cells were determined. Results indicated that PYNOD overexpression inhibited NO secretion and iNOS protein expression induced by LPS in BV-2 cells, with no detectable cytotoxicity. PYNOD overexpression also reduced the secretion of IL-1β and caspase-1 from BV-2 cells upon LPS stimulation. These effects were dose-dependent. Additionally, PYNOD overexpression prevented LPS-induced nuclear translocation of NF-κB p65 in BV-2 cells. The growth-inhibitory and apoptosis-promoting effects of BV-2 cells towards SK-N-SH cells were alleviated as a result of PYNOD overexpression. In conclusion, PYNOD may mitigate microglial inflammation and consequent neurotoxicity.
