Opis:
Helicobacter pylori (Hp) specific antigens were found deposited in the glomeruli in some kidney diseases. However, the underlying molecular mechanisms remain to be elucidated. The aim of this study was to investigate the effect of cytotoxin associated gene A protein (CagA), a key virulence factor of Hp, on mouse podocytes. Cells were cultured and treated with recombinant CagA protein. The expression of the tight junction protein ZO-1 and p38 MAPK signaling pathway activation were measured with real-time RT-PCR and western blotting. The filtration barrier function of podocytes was evaluated with albumin influx assay. CagA decreased the expression and membrane distribution of ZO-1, impaired the filtration barrier function of podocytes, while activating p38 MAPK signaling pathway in these cells. Selective p38 MAPK inhibition partly prevented CagA-induced filtration barrier dysfunction of podocytes through ameliorating ZO-1 downregulation. Taken together, the results suggested that CagA, at least via p38 MAPK signaling pathway, may induce podocyte injury. Anti-Hp therapy may be beneficial for the treatment of kidney diseases related to Hp antigen deposition.

Opis:
ObjectivesNickel (Ni) is an abundant environmental hazard and an occupational pollutant. Exposure to Ni compounds is prevalent in electroplating workers and in the printing industry, among others. The toxicity of Ni manifests as dermatological, gastrointestinal, respiratory, allergic, and cardiovascular symptoms. In particular, hyperbilirubinemia and reticulocytosis have been detected in intoxicated subjects; an observation possibly implicating selective red blood cell (RBC) toxicity. Herein, the interaction of nickel chloride (NiCl2) with human RBCs and associated molecular mechanisms are described.Material and MethodsCells from healthy donors were incubated for 24 h at 37°C in the presence or absence of 0.5‒10 mM of NiCl2, and cytotoxicity was determined through hemoglobin leakage by colorimetry under different experimental conditions. Eryptotic markers were also identified by flow cytofluorometry using Annexin-V-FITC tagging for phosphatidylserine (PS) exposure, light scatter properties for cellular dimensions, Fluo4/AM labeling for intracellular calcium, and H2DCFDA staining for reactive oxygen species (ROS). Additionally, small molecule inhibitors were used to probe the signaling pathways involved.ResultsIt was found that NiCl2 at 10 mM caused profound intracellular calcium overload and significant calcium-dependent hemolysis. Also, NiCl2 reduced forward scatter and increased side scatter, Annexin-positive cells, and ROS levels. Importantly, NiCl2-induced hemolysis was significantly attenuated by the exclusion of extracellular calcium, and in the presence of p38 MAP kinase (MAPK) inhibitor SB203580.ConclusionsIt is concluded that NiCl2 induces p38 MAPK-dependent hemolysis, and stimulates the canonical features of premature eryptosis. This report presents the first description of the molecular mechanisms underlying the hemolytic and eryptotic potential of NiCl2 and, thus, may explain changes in hematological parameters observed in poisoning victims.

Opis:
Cardiac fibrosis is referred to as an excessive accumulation of stromal cells and extracellular matrix proteins in the myocardium. Progressive fibrosis causes stiffening of the cardiac tissue and affects conduction of electrical impulses, leading to heart failures in a broad range of cardiac conditions. At the cellular level, activation of the cardiac stromal cells and myofibroblast formation are considered as hallmarks of fibrogenesis. At the molecular level, transforming growth factor β (TGF-β) is traditionally considered as a master regulator of the profibrotic processes. More recently, the WNT signalling pathway has also been found to be implicated in the development of myocardial fibrosis. In this review, we summarize current knowledge on the involvement of TGF-β and WNT downstream molecular pathways to cardiac fibrogenesis and describe a crosstalk between these two profibrotic pathways. TGF-β and WNT ligands bind to different receptors and trigger various outputs. However, a growing body of evidence points to cross-regulation between these two pathways. It has been recognized that in cardiac pathologies TGF-β activates WNT/β-catenin signalling, which in turn stabilizes the TGF-β/Smad response. Furthermore both, the non-canonical TGF-β and non-canonical WNT signalling pathways, activate the same mitogen-activated protein kinases (MAPKs): the extracellular signal-regulated kinase (Erk), the c-Jun N-terminal kinases (JNKs) and p38. The crosstalk between TGF-β and WNT pathways seems to play an essential role in switching on the genetic machinery initiating profibrotic changes in the heart. Better understanding of these mechanisms will open new opportunities for development of targeted therapeutic approaches against cardiac fibrosis in the future.
