Macrophages confer survival signals via CCR1-dependent translational MCL-1 induction in chronic lymphocytic leukemia. Oncogene 2017; 36:3651-3660. [PMID: 28192408 PMCID: PMC5584520 DOI: 10.1038/onc.2016.515] [Citation(s) in RCA: 20] [Impact Index Per Article: 2.9] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 10/19/2015] [Revised: 12/05/2016] [Accepted: 12/12/2016] [Indexed: 12/22/2022]
Abstract
Protective interactions with bystander cells in micro-environmental niches, such as lymph nodes (LNs), contribute to survival and therapy resistance of chronic lymphocytic leukemia (CLL) cells. This is caused by a shift in expression of B-cell lymphoma 2 (BCL-2) family members. Pro-survival proteins B-cell lymphoma-extra large (BCL-XL), BCL-2-related protein A1 (BFL-1) and myeloid leukemia cell differentiation protein 1 (MCL-1) are upregulated by LN-residing T cells through CD40L interaction, presumably via nuclear factor (NF)-κB signaling. Macrophages (Mφs) also reside in the LN, and are assumed to provide important supportive functions for CLL cells. However, if and how Mφs are able to induce survival is incompletely known. We first established that Mφs induced survival because of an exclusive upregulation of MCL-1. Next, we investigated the mechanism underlying MCL-1 induction by Mφs in comparison with CD40L. Genome-wide expression profiling of in vitro Mφ- and CD40L-stimulated CLL cells indicated activation of the phosphoinositide 3-kinase (PI3K)-V-Akt murine thymoma viral oncogene homolog (AKT)-mammalian target of rapamycin (mTOR) pathway, which was confirmed in ex vivo CLL LN material. Inhibition of PI3K-AKT-mTOR signaling abrogated MCL-1 upregulation and survival by Mφs, as well as CD40 stimulation. MCL-1 can be regulated at multiple levels, and we established that AKT leads to increased MCL-1 translation, but does not affect MCL-1 transcription or protein stabilization. Furthermore, among Mφ-secreted factors that could activate AKT, we found that induction of MCL-1 and survival critically depended on C-C motif chemokine receptor-1 (CCR1). In conclusion, this study indicates that two distinct micro-environmental factors, CD40L and Mφs, signal via CCR1 to induce AKT activation resulting in translational stabilization of MCL-1, and hence can contribute to CLL cell survival.

Down-regulation by resveratrol of basic fibroblast growth factor-stimulated osteoprotegerin synthesis through suppression of Akt in osteoblasts. Int J Mol Sci 2014; 15:17886-900. [PMID: 25290095 PMCID: PMC4227195 DOI: 10.3390/ijms151017886] [Citation(s) in RCA: 15] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.5] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 08/21/2014] [Revised: 09/18/2014] [Accepted: 09/26/2014] [Indexed: 11/16/2022] Open
Abstract
It is firmly established that resveratrol, a natural food compound abundantly found in grape skins and red wine, has beneficial properties for human health. In the present study, we investigated the effect of basic fibroblast growth factor (FGF-2) on osteoprotegerin (OPG) synthesis in osteoblast-like MC3T3-E1 cells and whether resveratrol affects the OPG synthesis. FGF-2 stimulated both the OPG release and the expression of OPG mRNA. Resveratrol significantly suppressed the FGF-2-stimulated OPG release and the mRNA levels of OPG. SRT1720, an activator of SIRT1, reduced the FGF-2-induced OPG release and the OPG mRNA expression. PD98059, an inhibitor of upstream kinase activating p44/p42 mitogen-activated protein (MAP) kinase, had little effect on the FGF-2-stimulated OPG release. On the other hand, SB203580, an inhibitor of p38 MAP kinase, SP600125, an inhibitor of stress-activated protein kinase/c-Jun N-terminal kinase (SAPK/JNK), and Akt inhibitor suppressed the OPG release induced by FGF-2. Resveratrol failed to affect the FGF-2-induced phosphorylation of p44/p42 MAP kinase, p38 MAP kinase or SAPK/JNK. The phosphorylation of Akt induced by FGF-2 was significantly suppressed by resveratrol or SRT1720. These findings strongly suggest that resveratrol down-regulates FGF-2-stimulated OPG synthesis through the suppression of the Akt pathway in osteoblasts and that the inhibitory effect of resveratrol is mediated at least in part by SIRT1 activation.

Abstract
Enamel matrix derivative (EMD) may enhance periodontal wound healing by inducing angiogenesis. We sought to investigate the effect and the mechanism of action of EMD on vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) production by human gingival fibroblasts. Cells were stimulated with EMD, transforming growth factor-β1 (TGF-β1), or fibroblast growth factor 2 (FGF-2), with or without antibodies to TGF-β1 or FGF-2. The levels of VEGF in the culture media were measured using an ELISA. We examined the effects of SB203580 [a p38 mitogen-activated protein kinase (MAPK) inhibitor], U0126 [an extracellular signal-regulated kinase (ERK) inhibitor], SP600125 [a c-Jun N-terminal kinase (JNK) inhibitor], and LY294002 [a phosphatidylinositol 3-kinase (PI3K)/Akt inhibitor] on EMD-induced VEGF production. Enamel matrix derivative stimulated the production of VEGF in a dose- and time-dependent manner. Treatment of human gingival fibroblasts with antibodies to TGF-β1 or FGF-2 significantly decreased EMD-induced VEGF production, whereas the addition of exogenous TGF-β1 and FGF-2 stimulated VEGF production. Enamel matrix derivative-induced VEGF production was significantly attenuated by SB203580, U0126, and LY294002. Our results suggest that EMD stimulates VEGF production partially via TGF-β1 and FGF-2 in human gingival fibroblasts and that EMD-induced VEGF production is regulated by ERK, p38 MAPK, and PI3K/Akt pathways. Enamel matrix derivative-induced production of VEGF by human gingival fibroblasts may be involved in the enhancement of periodontal wound healing by inducing angiogenesis.

Acceleration of segmental bone regeneration in a rabbit model by strontium-doped calcium polyphosphate scaffold through stimulating VEGF and bFGF secretion from osteoblasts. MATERIALS SCIENCE & ENGINEERING. C, MATERIALS FOR BIOLOGICAL APPLICATIONS 2012; 33:274-81.

Abstract
The development of suitable bioactive three-dimensional scaffold for the promotion of bone regeneration is critical in bone tissue engineering. The purpose of this study was to investigate in vivo osteogenesis of the porous strontium-doped calcium polyphosphate (SCPP) scaffolds for bone repair, as well as the relationship between osteogenic properties of SCPP scaffolds and the secretion of bFGF and VEGF from osteoblasts stimulated by SCPP. Besides, the advantages of scaffolds seeded with mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) for bone repair were also studied. Firstly, the bone repair evaluation of scaffolds was performed on a rabbit segmental bony defects model over a period of 16 weeks by histology combined with X-ray microradiography. And then, in order to avoid the influence from the other factors such as hypoxia which emerge in vivo study and affect the secretion of VEGF and bFGF from host cells, human osteoblast-like cells (MG63) were seeded to SCPP, CPP and HA scaffolds in vitro to determine the ability of these scaffolds to stimulate the secretion of angiogenic growth factors (VEGF and bFGF) from MG63 and further explore the reason for the better osteogenic properties of SCPP scaffolds. The histological and X-ray microradiographic results showed that the SCPP scaffolds presented better osteogenic potential than CPP and HA scaffolds, when combined with MSCs, the SCPP scaffolds could further accelerate the bone repair. And the amounts of VEGF measured by ELISA assay in SCPP, CPP and HA groups after cultured for 7 days were about 364.989 pg/mL, 244.035 pg/mL and 232.785 pg/mL, respectively. Accordingly, the amounts of bFGF were about 27.085 pg/mL, 15.727 pg/mL and 8.326 pg/mL. The results revealed that the SCPP scaffolds significantly enhanced the bFGF and VEGF secretion compared with other scaffolds. The results presented in vivo and in vitro study demonstrated that the SCPP could accelerate bone formation through stimulating the secretion of VEGF and bFGF from osteoblasts, making it attractive for bone regeneration.

Abstract
Scaffold design parameters, especially physical construction factors such as mechanical stiffness of substrate materials, pore size of 3D porous scaffolds, and channel geometry, are known to influence the osteogenic signal expression and subsequent differentiation of a transplanted cell population. In this study of photocrosslinked poly(propylene fumarate) (PPF) and diethyl fumarate (DEF) scaffolds, the effect of DEF incorporation ratio and pore size on the osteogenic signal expression of rat bone marrow stromal cells (BMSCs) was investigated. Results demonstrated that DEF concentrations and pore sizes that led to increased scaffold mechanical stiffness also upregulated osteogenic signal expression, including bone morphogenic protein-2 (BMP-2), fibroblast growth factors-2 (FGF-2), transforming growth factor-β1 (TGF-β1), vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF), and Runx2 transcriptional factor. Similar scaffold fabrication parameters supported rapid BMSC osteoblastic differentiation, as demonstrated by increased alkaline phosphatase (ALP) and osteocalcin expression. When scaffolds with random architecture, fabricated by porogen leaching, were compared to those with controlled architecture, fabricated by stereolithography (SLA), results showed that SLA scaffolds with the highly permeable and porous channels also have significantly higher expression of FGF-2, TGF-β1, and VEGF. Subsequent ALP expression and osteopontin secretion were also significantly increased in SLA scaffolds. Based upon these results, we conclude that scaffold properties provided by additive manufacturing techniques such as SLA fabrication, particularly increased mechanical stiffness and high permeability, may stimulate dramatic BMSC responses that promote rapid bone tissue regeneration.

GSK-3β/CREB axis mediates IGF-1-induced ECM/adhesion molecule expression, cell cycle progression and monolayer permeability in retinal capillary endothelial cells: Implications for diabetic retinopathy. Biochim Biophys Acta Mol Basis Dis 2011; 1812:1080-8.

Abstract
Various growth factors and cytokines are implicated in endothelial dysfunction and blood-retinal barrier (BRB) breakdown in early diabetic retinopathy (DR). However, cellular and molecular mechanisms that may underlie the pathology of DR are not fully understood yet. We therefore examined the effect of insulin-like growth factor (IGF)-1 on ECM/adhesion molecule expression, cell cycle regulation and monolayer permeability in an endothelial cell line (TR-iBRB2). We investigate whether the action of IGF-1 (1) involves glycogen synthase kinase 3beta (GSK-3β) and cAMP responsive transcription factor (CREB) and (2) alters ECM/adhesion molecule gene expression. Treatment of TR-iBRB2 cell with IGF-1 (100ng/ml for 0-24h) increases phosphorylation of (i) Akt Thr308, and its substrates including GSK-3β at Ser9, which inactivates its kinase function, and (ii) CREB at Ser133 (activation). These phosphorylations correlate positively with enhanced expression of CREB targets such as ECM protein fibronectin and cell cycle progression factor cyclin D1. However, stable transfection of a mutant GSK3β(S9A) or a dominant negative K-CREB in TR-iBRB2 prevents IGF-1-induced fibronectin and cyclin D1 expression. Furthermore, IGF-1 reduces the level of intercellular adherence molecule VE-cadherin and increases monolayer permeability in TR-iBRB2 cells when measured by FITC-dextran leakage. The effect of IGF-1 on VE-cadherin and membrane permeability is absent in TR-iBRB2 cells expressing the GSK-3β(S9A). Similarly, K-CREB reverses IGF-1 down-regulation of VE-cadherin and up-regulation of fibronectin. These results indicate that GSK-3β/CREB axis alters ECM/adhesion molecule expression and cell cycle progression in retinal endothelial cells, and may potentially contribute to endothelial dysfunction and BRB leakage in DR.

Abstract
Angiogenesis is essential for transplantation of mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs). Vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) is one of the most potent angiogenic factors identified to date. Elevated VEGF levels in MSCs correlate with the potential of MSCs transplantation. As an indirect angiogenic agent, transforming growth factor-beta1 (TGF-beta1) plays a pivotal role in the regulation of vasculogenesis and angiogenesis. However, the effect of TGF-beta1 on VEGF synthesis in MSCs is still unknown. Besides, the intracellular signaling mechanism by which TGF-beta1 stimulates this process remains poorly understood. In this article, we demonstrated that exposure of MSCs to TGF-beta1 stimulated the synthesis of VEGF. Meanwhile, TGF-beta1 stimulated the phosphorylation of Akt and extracellular signal-regulated kinase 1/2 (ERK1/2). Moreover, Ly 294002, a specific inhibitor of phosphatidylinositol-3-kinase (PI3K)/Akt significantly attenuated the VEGF synthesis stimulated by TGF-beta1. Additionally, U0126, a specific inhibitor of ERK1/2, also significantly attenuated the TGF-beta1-stimulated VEGF synthesis. These results indicated that TGF-beta1 enhanced VEGF synthesis in MSCs, and the Akt and ERK1/2 activation were involved in this process.

Abstract
Although dura mater tissue is believed to have an important role in calvarial reossification in many in vivo studies, few studies have shown the direct effect of dura mater cells on osteoblasts. In addition, no reports have yet identified the potential factor(s) responsible for various biological activities exerted by dura mater on calvarial reossification (e.g., cell proliferation). In this study, we tested the effect of dura mater on calvarial-derived osteoblasts by performing both heterotypic coculture and by culturing osteoblast cells with conditioned media harvested from dura mater cells of juvenile (3-day-old) and adult (30-day-old) mice. The results presented here demonstrate that cellular proliferation of juvenile osteoblast cells was significantly increased by juvenile dura mater either in the coculture system or when dura mater cell-conditioned medium was applied to the osteoblast cells. Moreover, high levels of FGF-2 protein were detected in juvenile dura mater cells and their conditioned medium. In contrast, low levels of FGF-2 protein were detected in adult dura mater cells, whereas FGF-2 protein was not detectable in their conditioned medium. Abrogation of the mitogenic effect induced by juvenile dura mater cell-conditioned medium was achieved by introducing a neutralizing anti-FGF-2 antibody, thus indicating that FGF-2 may be responsible for the mitogenic effect of the juvenile dura mater. Moreover, data obtained by exploring the three major FGF-2 signaling pathways further reinforced the idea that FGF-2 might be an important paracrine signaling factor in vivo supplied by the underlying dura mater to the overlying calvarial osteoblasts.
